Thanks to pregnancy my hair grew pretty long. I wanted to keep the length but get a trim to make it look more polished. My former stylist moved to the suburbs so I wanted to find someone/ someplace local that didn't charge ridiculous prices. My search led me to Wave of Lake. Less than half a mile away from my house, only one $, and had overall good reviews. I was even able to make an appointment online! So I booked an appointment with Christina for the following morning. I was expecting to pay maybe $30 at most for the trim but Christina said she needed to shampoo, condition, and blowdry my hair, too so the total was going to be $45. I agreed to the price and off to the sink I went. I swear that hair and scalp massage is the best part of getting my hair done! :) After the cleaning she blow dried my hair and then started trimming. She even styled it after using a straight iron and brush. A little over an hour later I was left with silky smooth and well trimmed hair. I love the look and the professionalism while getting it done. I will definitely be back for maybe some highlights?!
Made a last minute appointment. Asked for full head of highlights. The owner made time for me and was super friendly and I had a great experience. I have high standards and I'm super picky. Despite my super last minute appointment she took her time with me and was: accommodating, patient, and pleasant. I enjoyed my experience. (and I hate getting my hair cut let alone colored). I am looking forward to returning. I love my hair. I am including before and after pics. I know that my look is intense and maybe even a little extreme but it is/was exactly what I asked for. I was really scared about how drastic my look is, but I have gotten soooo many compliments it's ridiculous. I highly recommend.
“I have been going to Wave of Lake salon for probably 4 years now and I love this place. Vivita is extremely professional, friendly and accommodating. Vivita does my style and cuts my hair, and I am always getting compliments on how I look. Vivita is a master - I thank her and highly recommend her!
There was not a lot of communication from the stylist and she was really rough washing my hair. The path she took to get my hair to where i wanted it was much too long weird, but it did look nice. She also changed the price on me and didn’t say anything until it was time to pay. Also she never mentioned Zelle or venmo only. Most likely won’t return due to the owner being rude. She kept sighing while doing my hair.
I’m a client of this salon for more than 5 years and always happy to come back every 2 months for a haircut and color. The Salon an amazing experience. It is very safe and clean what is very important now. New equipment and variety of hair care product makes it appalling and professional.
