My barber was CeeJay and it was an excellent cut! He took his time with my hair cut with excellent detail while continuing a conversation that reminds you of the barbershop feel! The other barbers also helped create a friendly environment with great conversation and music! Definitely will come back as a regular!
I Checked out Golden Hawai’i barbershop for the first time today and I was blown away. I was Hesitant coming in because I had gone to a different Barber for the last three years always hating how my hair looked when I left. As soon as I walked into Golden Hawaii, the atmosphere, sent, music, decor everything made me feel right at home and comfortable. They had cool vintage surf Magazines and books to check out while you’re waiting as well as a comfortable seating area something my previous barbershop did not. I showed up a little early, not knowing what to expect and my Barber Wilson got me into a chair as soon as possible. The barbers were all super friendly An amazing to chat with. Wilson and I talked about ideas for a hairstyle and he gave me some amazing recommendations for what he wanted to do with it letting him have a little bit of freedom He absolutely knocked it out of the park. I think it might be my best haircut I’ve ever gotten. Absolutely worth every cent and I will absolutely be coming back. I wish I had know about this shop sooner because going Forward I will recommend it to Everyone. five out of five stars criminally underrated might be the best barbershop on South Shore.

Had a great experience here! Hip clean shop with very friendly barbers. Luis was very professional and gave an excellent traditional beard trim with hot towel treatment. I will be going back for a haircut soon!
I've been looking for a place like this for 5 years and finally my wish has come true. Ever since I left NY I've been dying to find a good barber, one that's good with the scissors and the razor. Hard to find that combo on the island, everyone wants to pound out 12 dollar buzz cuts in 15 mins. If you care about your haircut and don't mind taking the time for a good cut then definitely make an appointment and go down to Golden Hawaii. My barber was Mark and I couldn't be more happy. He took the time to let me show him a few pics , and listened to what I had in mind since it was my first time there. Mark doesn't rush, and his attention to detail is exactly what I like. The atmosphere there is great, the shop is spotless and you really just couldn't ask for much more. Now this definitely isn't the cheapest spot but I'm ok with paying for a quality product. It's cash only so don't forget to stop at the ATM ahead of time. See you guys soon
