A&A Barbershop

When we immediately walked in, no one greeted us whatsoever. There were 3 people ahead of us and everyone sat staring at each other as there was no tv or radio, just silence. Would not recommend.

Every two weeks I come here to get my hair cut done.
So far is the best place I have find in Hawaii. Pretty nice people that work here, polite and educated. They make you feel comfortable and always give you the greeting of the day and they make you feel welcome. Sunday mornings is the day I do, not busy and pretty fast, sometimes they take their time making sure they do a great job which they always do, and I still don’t mind. They outcome is always great so they can take as much time as they need to.
Will see you tomorrow.

Great place for a haircut! One of the only places that straight razors the neckline.

Not sure if Phuong was having a bad day, but she didn’t do a very good job on my hair. I went home and had to cut the hair above my ears because she missed them. The $ 2 shampoo isn’t worth it. It’s basically a one-​minute rinse with water.
Ordinarily, Phuong does a great job so, as I’ve mentioned, maybe she was having a bad day on my most recent visit. Or maybe it’s time to see Vicky, who used to work with Phuong, at Jenny’s Barber also in Aiea.
Thank you.

PAINFUL. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
David the barber not only gave a horrible haircut, but it was one of the most painful experiences I’ve had in my life. He moves his comb in a stabbing motion. My head actually hurt after the nightmarish experience. Save your scalp, wear a helmet if you go to this barber shop.

Save your money and go to a professional. Cut my sons ear while using clippers. I gave specific instructions on how I wanted my hair cut. Got the exact opposite. I only understood ¼ of what they were saying to me the whole time I was in there.

After six months of repeat device, three trips in a row ensured my last haircut here.

A&A is in the Pearl Kai shopping center, on Kam Hwy. It’s in the back, and at lunchtime it’s hard to find a parking spot.
I either get my haircut from Vi or Phuong, and they both do a good job. They are exceptionally nice, and they shave your neck with a razor and wash your hair (for a dollar or two more) and the end of the haircut.
A&A can be very busy from 10am to 1pm, and then again from 4pm to 6pm. It is also busy on the weekends. Lots of folks wait for Phuong, so getting her can be harder. There are no reservations, but you can call ahead to see what the wait time will be.
They recently hired two male barbers… I have not gotten a haircut from either of them as of yet.

I’m not sure what all the good reviews are about I found this place on Unilocal and decided to go… a few corrections to previous Unilocalers it’s not 10 $ full service… it’s A La Carte 12 $ for cut 14 $ for fohawk plus $ 2 for rinse. I guess military gets a discount
I arrived at 11 am on a Wednesday and it was slow, there was one person working, a client in her chair and me waiting. Soon after I arrived one other guy came in and sat next me. I only had to wait a few minutes
Phuong cut my hair and although she was very sweet and nice, made good conversation and was personable, I liked her a lot. but she gave me the worst haircut I’ve had in years and didn’t listen to the only instruction I gave =(
There’s lines across the back and a hole on both sides in different spots.
I asked her not to cut the front short because I have a big forehead and crooked hairline so I like to keep the length there and style it in different ways. she smiled and said okay. and proceeded to begin by BUZZing it all off from front to back! I was horrified but it was done before I could stop her.
I found it odd that she started by buzzing off the top, normally when I get my hair cut they always start with buzzer on the sides and work their way up to scissors on the top and finish with thinning sheers to add texture and blend. She only used the buzzers so the shape doesn’t look good.
I was extremely disappointed that she spent less than 5 minutes cutting my hair and was on to the next client. Big disappointment after reading all the good reviews here.
Yes it’s just hair and it will grow back, I know. But I have to wear it on my head until it does. If you’ve ever received a bad haircut by someone who was rushing and didn’t listen then you know how awful it feels. Pictures below.

I’m new to the island. It took me a while but I finally found a great barber shop. These people really take pride in what they do. My haircut of choice is a high fade with a setting level of 0 at the bottom. Not only do they perfect the fade but they also use the straight razor to ensure to «skin tight» appearance.

I walked in (no appointment made, but I’m not sure if they take any), and was instantly seated by Vy, one of the barbers there. I showed her a picture of the haircut I wanted, and she briefly consulted with another stylist (Phuong, mentioned positively in meant reviews below) on the methodology of it.
The haircut was fast, and completely satisfied what I had wanted. In addition to what I had expected (clip, part, fade), she also gave me a lineup and a straight razor shave on my sideburns and neck.
This was my first visit to a barber in over a decade, as I’ve buzzed my hair myself every week during that time. Though I was a bit nervous walking in, I’m very satisfied with the results and I’ll definitely return to A&A and Vy!

Good and friendly personnel, perfect haircut, the employees take their time to give you a perfect haircut!
You will enjoy your experience there

I love Phuong and Vicki!!!
Reason for the 4 stars is because they don’t take appointments. If you call, you’ll get the generic answer: «Come in. Not busy now». And of course, by the time you get there, 5 guys are already waiting.
Anyway…I love Phuong and Vicki! Uh, did I say that? Close attention to detail and they seem to know what kinda cut you want. The straight razor trim is a plus! And you can’t beat the wash/​rinse afterwards. Oh and all that for $ 12!
Phuong is absolutely hilarious, even if I can’t understand half of what she’s saying. It’s such a treat to be pampered here!

These ladies are great! They show an incredible amount of attention to detail, and make sure everything is perfect.
Walk-​ins are welcome, no appointment needed. And the prices are super low! So low, I gave a 50% tip… they are that good!
They have a new fan in me… I will definitely be back!

Best place to get a razor fade.
Ever since I was told about this place, anytime I’m in the area, I try to hit it up. Luckily, I visit Aiea every Sunday, so this place is perfect. There’s a very sufficient amount of parking, even though there are many busy businesses in the area.
The barbers are always so happy to see customers and greet them well. They’re very talkative during the haircut. I enjoy getting a haircut here.
They are cash only, unfortunately, but it is worth it.

A&A has a lot of good things going on! As a first-​timer, I noticed how clean and seamless the fades were on the customers before me. Quality workmanship — check. (They were leaving with good looking haircuts!) The place is nicely cooled by AC and the barbers/​hairdressers are pleasant with customers. One woman brought her son in because he gave himself a haircut and they fixed it free-​of-​charge. It only took 2 minutes so I can understand why she refused payment. She acted with compassion and I appreciated that.
They charged me $ 10 for a «zero all around» cut and I’m pleased with the results: completely even cut, clean trim lines, and under 10 minutes!

Every 3 weeks I make the pilgrimage to A&A to get my hair did at the most consistent and reasonably priced barbershop I’ve ever been to.
I go here for fades and have found that this place offers not just the most consistent cut, but they even go the extra mile in customer service and offer all their customers the option of getting there hair washed at the end of their cut, all for $ 12! I say again, twelve dollahz!
The two barbers Phuong and Vicki are usually in the shop and always greet you with a smile and «hello! Long time no see» haha I guess 3 weeks is some time.
The shop is AC’d and comes with a TV, which is usually on some sports channel. They know their audience.
Until this place shuts down (which will be a sad day haha) I don’t see any reason why I’d stop coming to my fave barbershop in Hawaii.

My New Fave Place To Get My Hair Did!
Located in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center you can find this hidden gem! You would never think something so awesome could be here! Awesome and with some serious VALUE! After reading the few reviews there are on their Unilocal page I decided I had to try this place out since it was one of the only barbers near me with rave reviews. In my opinion this place could be booming with business, but people don’t want to share the wealth that is A&A Barbershop! Well, I say the more the merrier! I am going to share the kept secret because I want them to be around for years to come! :D
Honestly, I have only been here once, but I plan on going back!!!
Here’s why!!! :D
-$ 10 HAIRCUTS!!!
–If it isn’t too busy they shampoo you after your haircut FOR FREE!!!
–Phoung is a hoot and she cuts great hair. She is also hilarious: D
–Phoung cuts great hair, but she says that everyone is good there!
–My hair looked clean and neat after. It had a nice fade on the side.
–They don’t do a rush cut like at some other places.
–DID I MENTION… $ 10!!! LOL. HOW DO THEY DO IT?!
–Sometimes Phoung says there may be a wait, but I say it’s worth it!
***MAKE SURE TO TIP THEM WELL YEEPS*** THEY DESERVE IT ;)

Guys, this is the best-​kept secret in Aiea (until now, I guess :). This barbershop is located in the Pearl Kai shopping center across from the old Tower Records. What can I say, Phuong (barber) is the BEST – she was very sweet and friendly, but more importantly, she knows how to cut hair! She even uses a straight razor to finish up the sides and the back line.
When my hair cut was finished, I asked her how much it would cost to trim my goatee and she replied in the sweetest voice, «No charge!». Amazing. Then just when I thought I was done, she asked if I wanted my hair washed – I asked and again she replied, «No charge!»
Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I actually enjoyed getting my hair cut. And best of all, I didn’t have to go home and fix any uneven parts of my hair with my crappy buzzer. Phuong, you have a customer for life!

The place is new so everything in there is new, seats etc.
For the price, $ 10 + Tip. Man I haven’t found a cheap haircut like that in a long time. She is real good with mens style cuts and has pictures on the wall and just tell her exactly what you want.
They are also excellent at military haircuts so all you military folks that want to get a bite to eat at the near by restaurants and then get a haircut.
I’ll be going back to A&A for sure because of the price and how close it is to me. Can’t beat that!
