All the women who work at Hot Waves are talented and friendly - everyone feels like a friend. Laura cut my hair today and I don't think I have ever been so happy with a cut and style in my life! She took the time to understand my hair needs to make sure I had the best style for my hair type (I have long, thick, wavy hair that can be tough to style) and I could not be happier with the results! Laura is a miracle worker. Their prices are also VERY fair, especially for a salon in the city, and they are not pushy at all when it comes to add on services or product. I can't recommend Hot Waves enough - in my opinion, it's the best salon in the city.

I have super thick, longer hair, so it wound up being the "and up", but still pretty reasonable! Also, I'll admit I left it in waaaay longer than I should've, and there were STILL some curls by the time I washed. The look wasn't as full of volume as I've gotten before elsewhere, but that's actually what I wanted, and what I had asked for...more beachy long curls than old school classic curls. Dina created that for me. Conversation was great and we had the place to ourselves on a Sunday afternoon. It was lovely! I'll definitely be calling Dina again for my next event. Everything was right on!

I like to keep it EXTRA…read moresimple, so if I feel like coloring my hair (which I have only done twice), I'm comfortable having a friend help me do it at home. I told you, simple. I decided I wanted to get an ombre style color job a few weeks ago and don't trust myself DIY-ing it so I went to M's on the Square. The woman who greeted me (and did my hair) was very very nice the entire time, but I will say that the whole appointment felt rushed...she did the whole coloring in less than an hour and a half (I was told it should take 3 hours). The end result--my hair turned out TERRIBLY. It is not ombre AT. ALL. Not only is it not ombre, but it looks like a really bad highlighting job. My hair is dark brown naturally, and I'm left with random, very blonde highlights that are chunky and that are only on SOME tips of my hair. The top is all my natural brown (as it should be) and the bottom is PLATINUM BLONDE with absolutely no in-between, no transitioning color, no gradual change.I even noticed that some locks of hair go from dark brown to blonde BACK TO dark brown at the end...just one middle chunk of hair on the strands were highlighted! I've been wearing my hair in a ponytail ever since!!! I'm looking at other places to get it redone now and it's going to cost me over $120. Very very disappointed, to say the least. Maybe I should have just kept it simple!

Love my color! Talented stylist!…read more I hadn't cut my hair in over a year so it was more than halfway down my back, and I haven't had highlights in 8 or 9 years and was desperately missing color. A coworker recommended this place based on Tik Tok and I checked out reviews before booking. I was there for about 4 hours including maybe 5-10 minutes waiting to get started and the wait to sit with the color before washing. There is parking in front and on the side of the building. When you enter, there are a couple of chairs, coat rack, and snacks while you wait. There are 5 or 6 salon chairs plus 2 for washing and I think there was something else in the back. Oh and the bathroom is nice too. The staff are friendly and everyone walked out of there with great hair. I was a little nervous at first because my stylist looks so young and I thought he might not be as experienced, but Dan is one of the top 2 stylists who have worked on my hair across 4 states. We talked through what I wanted with length, style, and color throughout the process. He did a rough cut dry first, worked on partial balyage caramel color, and then finished cut to frame my face. He and a woman washed my hair. Both were very gentle, which I appreciate. In the end, the length is just right, the color is gorgeous and even spread, and he curled my tips for a very pretty look. My only complaint is I didn't have anywhere to go afterwards to show off my hair, so I had to text everyone a picture :-) KUDOS TO DAN!!

This is very misleading. First - one $ to me means no more…read morethen $30 for wash and cut. Not! It is $70. Second - I have never went back and ask hairdresser to redo my hair. I noticed the next day that my hair still had so many split ends. It also did not blend well. Third - when I went back, I was told I did not know what split ends were and that my hair was blended perfectly. I will go back to places that cost no more then $20. They at least warn my how much they have to cut to get rid of all the split ends. Very disappointing. Misleading and not happy with my cut. I usually get a cut every 3 months but I know I will need one next month.

Unfortunately, my most recent appointment on June 13, 2025, with Shaniqua was so upsetting and unprofessional that I felt compelled to leave this review. From the moment I walked in, something was off. The owner wasn't present, the music was blasting, and the conversations among the stylists were bizarre, inappropriate, and downright uncomfortable -- especially for a group of women of a certain age who should know better. As a woman of color, when we choose cultured salons, we do so for comfort, safety, and the sense of community -- and none of that was present this day. My service was rushed and painful. The loc takedown was done carelessly, resulting in so much hair loss it made me cry. My hair wasn't properly detangled or deep conditioned, and the blow dry was incomplete. What made it worse was the stylist's constant complaints about how tired she was and how she didn't want to be there the next day. If you're exhausted and mentally checked out, why take the appointment or why not reschedule or pass it to another stylist within the salon? The biggest disappointment is that I called the salon twice, leaving detailed voicemails for the owner explaining my experience -- and I have yet to receive a single call back. That lack of acknowledgment or concern for a loyal client's experience hurts more than paying for a service that wasn't delivered. It makes it clear that customer care and professional standards aren't a priority here. I sincerely hope this review reaches the owner and staff, and that moving forward policies and training are put in place to protect clients from experiences like mine. No one should pay for poor service and leave a salon feeling worse than when they arrived. Do better, House of Beauty.
