I went to Maegan Gutierrez for eyelash extensions and was VERY pleased with her work. She explains in detail everything she is doing and gives thorough aftercare instructions. I’ve since gone back for a fill to keep up the beautiful look. It is so nice to have someone local who does great work!Service: Eyelash extensions

I was looking for someplace local to get eyelash extensions and found Maegan Gutierrez at Waves. She asked me a lot of questions to narrow down what type of look I was most comfortable with and explained everything as she worked. I am thrilled with my lashes and have returned for a quick fill. You can definitely trust Maegan to do a fantastic job!

I have been looking for literally years to find someone who is talented at both cutting my curly hair and managing my color situation (brown hair that I highlight to camouflage incoming grays). I have tried at least 6 different stylists over the past decade and had almost given up when I found Gretel. She is amazing. She's both talented and experienced-- she really knows what she's doing-- and she really listens. She takes the time to discuss what you are hoping for and to give you her thoughts on what would work best. She also really wants to know how the cut/color is working for you-- she asks me to let her know how it's going and she will make adjustments if something is not just right. I am so grateful I found Gretel! I could not be happier with my cut and color. It's just what I wanted.

Finally got my hair cut here! I have been wanting to do it forever! Kayla gave me an awesome haircut and recommended a kerastase treatment since my hair was so damaged from my highlights (from another salon). It worked like magic and toned down my brassy hair. I cannot wait to go back to have my highlights and color done. Amazing salon. Thanks Kayla!

I used to get my hair done for many years in downtown San Francisco. After the pandemic my downtown stylist moved and I was on the hunt for a new person. I work in the area and a coworker recommended Gretel a year ago and I've been a loyal client since. Gretel is a true professional at her craft, she is up on trends, and always suggests something cute and new to try. She has the style and technique of any down town San Francisco stylist without the downtown price tag. Gretel only uses the best products like Kerastase and GoldWell. Her price points are reasonable so I come in often for a trim and blow out. My hair has never looked this healthy. I also get a few low maintenance highlights that I always get complements on. With Gretel's warm personality and skills I leave waves looking a feeling my best every time.

I have spent a small fortune in big-name salons in SF and never had a haircut as I received from Waves. Gretel understands individuals' hair and how to make it look great. A peaceful and friendly place to get a break from the busy world and leave with an outstanding haircut.

Gretel is amazing! She helped blend my highlights and gave me a gorgeous balayage:) She was so sweet and understood exactly what I was asking for. It is so nice to find a hair stylist that is patient and willing to understand what the client is wanting. She is so talented and I definitely recommend her services!!

Kayla is AMAZING. I went in with photos and ideas for my hair and she cut my hair even better than I was imagining. She’s very friendly, bubbly and professional. Throughout the entire haircut she would take time to ask my opinion and alter anything that needed changing until my hair was perfect. The salon was clean and relaxing and I will definitely be going back.Service: Haircut

Great overall experience. Kayla is an awesome stylist and also super friendly. She gave me an all over highlight, trim, Kerastase mask (which I highly recommend) and a blowout. I used to drive to the city to get my hair done, but never again. The service here is better and I don't have to deal with any of the stressful aspects of going into the city.

I was here on a Friday when they played their Pandora 80s classics playlist. I was so comfortable and refreshed by my treatment which started off with a complimentary drink. In summary, the Waves Salon has a lovely environment and skillful staff. ----Read the rest for my raving fan review of my cut & dye courtesy of Kayla--- Kayla is knowledgeable and did not take my inspiration photos for face value, but gave me realistic game plan for my hair. Because I wanted to go for a blue-black, but was not ready to bleach my hair she did the base color to accommodate what I was willing to pay for in that day. She was able to communicate her opinions about what I was asking for versus what I was ready for in a non-condescending way. She tactfully asked questions to assess what she was working with before diving into my cut and dye. Though she would have been ready and equipped to do the full foil / bleach for hues that pop, I appreciated that she prioritized understanding what I really wanted rather than just charging me more because I had technically sent her photos of more obvious blues. Though my results are much subtler than what I had sent from Pinterest, I know I've found a stylist I can trust if I want to take the next step. Kayla and I were betting on whether it was too subtle if anyone would notice, but: 1) I got a great response from housemates upon arrival at home. She was right! It pops in the right lights, and apparently looked the blue as I walked through the door with the natural light coming in behind me. 2) Moreover, I had specifically gotten my hair dyed for a trip out of town. When I met my cousin, she almost immediately asked about my hair. Felt great to do something that made me feel myself but edgy without necessarily just jumping into something pretty but too much too quickly. Nothing was compromised, my professional appearance for work, nor my desire to do something different and get my feet wet again for jumping back into the world of non-virgin hair. While my before/after photos probably aren't a Pinterest feature, they are great quality for photos from the day after my appointment and what I expect will be a dye with longevity. Happy with the practicality and the fit to who I am. I should mention, Kayla accommodated to book me though it was a nearly full day, and I called in on Thursday!! Thanks very much!

Kayla is seriously the best! Been going to her for a long time and she really knows how to give me what I want. It's more than just the outcome it's experience as well that she is perfect with. She is also the only one that my daughter who trusts as well with her hair. She colored and cut her hair. Did an amazing job! She color corrected my hair and gave me the perfect trim. On multiple occasions. She is always my go to!

I normally don't put reviews online that often but when I have an awesome experience, I want people to know it. Kayla Sanders at Waves is so awesome! She was professional, listened to what I wanted, and her experience with color and highlighting is hands down the best! I love my hair every time she does it. She makes suggestions to try new things, she is creative, and she does her absolute best because it is important to her that her clients walk out happy. Thank you, Kayla! You can count on me coming back!Services: Hair colouring
