Experience at Akai Hair Design

“I appreciate everything at the salon, from the offering of tea or coffee on arrival, to the punctuality of the scheduled appointment, and I most especially appreciate the expertise of the owner, who is creative in her suggestions and at the same time listens to the ideas of the customer. Very highly reccommend the salon.”

Incredibly talented

I’ve been using Hana’s services for about 3 years. I sought her out because of her precision hair cutting abilities. Hana has been trained by top stylists and continues to stay on top of the latest techniques. Her warm and friendly personality make each visit a pleasure. If you want a top notch cut and a pleasant experience, I recommend you make her your hair stylist of choice.

A great change!

I LOVE the new look Hana suggested! I really trusted her to transform my scraggly overwhelming mass of curly frizzy hair into a totally short dramatic new hairstyle! Working with Hana has been great – she really listens, and offers suggestions that reflect my needs. And, after seeing the fabulous job she’s been doing on my mother’s hair, I decided to just go for it, and I am so glad I did. Thanks Hana – great job!!!!!!!!!!

Haircut

“Hana is a great stylist with lots of experience and creativity. I find it a pleasurable and personal experience to go to this small boutique salon. However, I wish she used Davines product for coloring hair .”

“I like everything about the salon. It is small, comfortable, and relaxing. Hana is a skilled.knowledgeable and creative professional. The first time I went, I told her how I wanted my hair cut (just what I was used to). The second, I decided to take a chance, and asked that she do whatever she thought best for me. I like the news style, and I am getting lots of compliments, and of course that feels good..Highly recommended. . “

Consultation

Hana, was quick and efficient with her recommendations for a hair cut that is to occur on Wednesday. Her demonstration of the look was quick flattering. Thank you, looking forward to the cut.

Salon experience

I couldn’t be more pleased with my results. I had my hair in place the day after my cut within a couple of minutes. It looks and feels great! Hana was so interested in knowing what my expectations were and she met the mark with flying colours. The salon itself was welcoming and comfortable. I look forward to my next venture which will be hair colour enhancement.

Hana — Akai hair design

Being from out of town, I went to Akai on my daughter’s recommendation. She and my 5 y/o grandson had gone there several months ago, and their cuts still look great, which is a sign of a good hairdresser. Hana took time to ask what I wanted, then made recommendations which made sense. I do like my cut, but should I still be on town for the next one, I would give her full reign over the style instead of giving my opinion on what should be done!

Hana is an absolute Natural…

“We always joke that I came with the shop when Hana bought it! She is a gifted artist besides an amazingly talented hairstylist! I have so many people ask me who does my hair and that speaks volumes. My highlights look natural ; yet, so vibrant. I always love my hair and Hana’s creativeness. I respect Hana as a person whose a great listener and a wise woman! Thank you Hana.. such a treat to visit you …until the next time:)”
