It is imperative to get the license as soon as you are on island. You need a valid driver's licence from elsewhere and must pass vision. However, Canadians are required to take the written and road test. The licence is valid for 3 years and expires on your birthday. Most have complete beauty treatment including shampoo and set, permanents, hair cuts, manicure, pedicure, hair-colouring and facial treatments.
Prices are lower than on the mainland.
If you use hair colouring, we would suggest you stock up on your brand and bring it with you. Our tropical climate and island lifestyle encourage cool, loose-fitting cotton shirts, slacks, blouses and dresses. Some cool, rainy evenings may call for a lightweight jacket or sweater. Casual clothing is acceptable and appropriate for almost all occasions. The long Hawaiian-style muu muu is acceptable for even the most formal occasions.
