Locally owned and operated Da Kinez Barbershop opens in Ka Makana Ali‘i’s theatre wing

KAPOLEI, HI (May 10, 2019) — Ka Makana Ali‘i welcomes Da Kinez Barbershop to the Center for West Oahu with a grand opening celebration on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12. The weekend-long festivities kick off at Da Kinez Barbershop with traditional Chinese Lion Dancing, a live in-store radio remote, and prize giveaways.

Da Kinez Barbershop is a locally owned and operated barbershop specializing in men’s and boy’s hair styles from skin fades to hair designs, straight razor beard shaves with hot towels, grey coverage and eyebrow waxing. Da Kinez Barbershop offers a unique barber experience with its special vacuum-attached clippers that vacuum the hair while cutting to eliminate excess hair on the customer or floor. The shop’s most popular hairstyle is the skin fade comb with a hard part. Other popular looks incorporate iconic heroes, logos, patterning or sports team inspirations.

Da Kinez Barbershop's grand opening festivities kick off at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 11 with a traditional Chinese Lion Dance blessing performed by the Nam Sieng Dragon & Lion Dance promo team. The party continues with an in-store DJ and prize giveaways.

The celebration goes through Sunday, May 12 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. with an in-store remote from 102.7 Da Bomb, a traditional Chinese Lion Dance blessing performed by Wah Ngai Lion Dance Association at noon, and prize giveaways all day long.

Da Kinez Barbershop opened in Waipahu in September of 2013 with a team of two. It soon grew to a full house of eight barbers with a high volume of customers. The Ka Makana Ali‘i location will be Da Kinez Barbershop's only location. Owner Sandy Le is excited for the new beginning and the opportunity for locally owned businesses to expand.

“We are very blessed and honored to be a part of the Ka Makana Ali’i ohana,” Le said.
