Hair, elevated.
An editorial-trained team in a small downtown studio. We do thoughtful, considered work — color, cut, and styling for people who want their hair to look like it was chosen.
What we do, plainly.
Most appointments combine a few of these. We'll write you a custom estimate when you book — pricing depends on length, complexity, and the stylist you book with.
The opposite of a chair-time mill.
Wave was started in 2019 by stylists who were tired of seeing four clients in an afternoon. We book longer appointments on purpose. Most stylists see three or four clients a day — never six.
We don't double-book chairs, we don't run behind, and you'll get your stylist's full attention from the moment they wash your hair until you walk out the door.
— "We'd rather do four heads of hair properly than eight in a hurry."
Four stylists. All senior.
