Absolute Salon

I have been using Michelle (the owner) for my hair for 3 years. She is very talented and super super sweet! She does a lovely job and her salon is gorgeous!

Michelle is an amazing and talented hairstylist. She’s always keeping up with the latest trends which is appreciated from a clients perspective. She cuts and colors my hair and does an awesome job. My hair color never looked so rich. I’m also getting married soon and today, she did a practice up-​do on me and it looks so good! The style is very unique and glamorous! I was surprised my hair could even look that nice and full!!! I definitely recommend Michelle for your hair care needs. She has true talent.

Owner contacted me via email sometime after this appeared, and at first seemed genuinely horrified. She said she had no idea she had missed an appointment, wasn’t sure when it was, it wasn’t in the system for the date I claimed, and she apologized profusely and offered me a free return visit. All of that was well and good, until she HAD to add that she needed to «take my word for it and trust that I was being honest» because she didn’t know who I was and had no record of the appointment — either the one she missed, or the pedicure the prior day. First, that confirms that I would have waited forever, because she wasn’t merely late, she wasn’t coming at all. Second, her deliberate choice of words basically translates as «I think you’re lying.» So, what I did was scan a copy of my receipt from my pedicure and my appointment card for the hair, and emailed them to her, and gave her all the details of my appointments, dates, times, etc., with my full name. Never heard from her again. Classy.

I was at Hilton Waikoloa Village for a conference, and I wanted to get a haircut before I gave my presentation.
I found Michelle on Unilocal and gave her a call. She said she closed at 5 and I told her I was headed over. We got lost on the way so by the time we got there it was already close to 5. I called her and she had already closed for the day, but she came back to give me my haircut anyways.
She gave me a good haircut for $ 20, and most importantly, my girlfriend approved. It was a little shorter than I intended but it came out quite nice and I looked sharp for my presentation :-).
She also told me about a great snorkeling location: the Place of Refuge which is south of Kona. Very beautiful coral.

Michelle did a wonderful job putting up my hair for a formal award banquet. I met with her a couple of days before the event to go over ideas. I received so many compliments that evening. This was my first trip to the islands and my expectations were exceeded in regards to price and service. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for salon services during a trip to this area!
