Waves Salon

Elida L did my hair and she took great care to do it exactly how I wanted it and the color turned out better better than I've had it in years! I do think that they should make an exception to the 24 hour cancellation rule for illness because they will charge you for half and I went in there not feeling well and I hope nobody gets what I have.

Julianna knocked it out of the park for my hair today. I have thin, porous, beach wavy hair that curls in the summer (think a redheaded Blake Lively texture) and flattens out in the winter--she knew exactly what my hair needed with finicky curl patterns. She trimmed my hair while it was wet, and shaped it while it was dry--excellent job.

Jewels is great! She's beautiful inside and out plus she's terrific with hair. My first time seeing her she did such a great job knowing what I wanted while being incredibly personable and kind. I'll be going back soon, thanks a million!

Waves has become our family salon. My husband started getting his haircut with Mario a few months ago and one by one our entire family - me, my husband, my daughter and two sons have all transitioned to Waves Salon. We have had an incredibly positive experience with the front desk and all of the stylists - Mario, Kristin, Sarah, Jules - all are friendly, attentive and talented. There are times when we are all scheduled for a cut at the same time - the stylists are always on time and deliver outstanding work. The salon has good energy and a focus on taking care of the guest throughout the experience. Top notch - can't recommend highly enough!

Best spot in town - great stylists, great people, who allunderstand the art of creating amazing hair!

Nice, trendy little place to get your hair lopped off and other services to make you more beautiful.They do good work.Close to downtown ABQ ( just to the East ).

Mario is amazing! I love my cut & color. Looking forward to going back for many many years to come. It's hard to find a Salon this Amazing...Waves Salon is the BEST! From their incredible owners, to the AWESOME hair... & everything in between! You will fall in love with this Salon the moment you step foot through their doors. I moved to Atlanta last year & can't find a place that comes close to my experiences at Waves... I miss you guys!

Just go you won't regret it! Ask for Katelyn!! She did an amazing job. I will definitely be back!!

I am traveling and needed a cut and colour but I am so particular about my hair. I spoke to the receptionist at Waves and took the only appointment available for this week.I was worried because I have run into many terrible hairdressers when taking a chance on someone I know nothing about.My appointment was with Jules. She is young and sweet and likeable. This was a good start but those qualities don't make a good hairdresser.So I can't tell you how relieved I was that my cut and colour was fantastic. She spent alot of time to make sure that the cut was just what I wanted and even restyled my bangs when I asked her to change them a bit.If you are hesitant about booking with a new hairdresser, ask for Jules. You won't be sorry.

I went to see Lesli for about 4-5 years while I was living in Albuquerque for grad school. I just went back last week for my dissertation defense and scheduled a cut with her several weeks in advance. She was already all booked but thankfully someone canceled so I was able to get in.I've had cuts from highly rated places in Wilton, CT (a suburb an hr outside NYC), Ardmore, PA (suburb on the Main Line outside Philadelphia), Philadelphia, and San Diego. No one I've seen compares to Lesli! Maybe 4 years ago I asked for a cute long bob. She gave precisely what I asked for, but I didn't like the way it looked on me, probably because the women in the example pictures I brought in had different face shapes and hair types than me. So I explained what I wanted and she spent extra time making it perfect, which in my case meant spending lots of extra time thinning out my thick hair, especially right in the middle of the bob, next to my round face, and probably other stuff too that I don't know about since I'm not trained in the craft. I've been getting that same cut ever since and it makes me feel so cute and polished! I continue to get lots of compliments on it. Lesli is also a lovely person, very friendly and nice to talk to; lets me retreat into silence if I want too.I'm worried I won't be able to find anyone as good as Lesli now that I'm in Seattle. If Waves hired her I'm guessing everyone else there is excellent too! I never tried any other stylists since I had such a good experience with her. Beautiful relaxed space and the receptionist always offers coffee or tea when you come in.
