OB Waves Salon

"100/10 would recommend. Mandy is the most-skilled, helpful, & most friendly hair stylist I have ever met. I’ve always dreaded getting my hair cut, but after my visit at OB Waves I left with the biggest smile on my face. I live in Washington state & I will be flying down to San Diego to get my hair cut from now on. Forget the 4.8 rating, this salon & it’s employees deserve more than 5 stars!"

"I am new to the area. I had been looking for a stylist for quite some time . We all know how getting a new stylist is scary !!! Mandy was amazing . She listed to my request and went above and beyond . My cut was perfect and n my color was the best hi light ever!!! I will be a loyal customer from now on . Such a cute and inviting salon . I couldn’t be happier ! Thanks again Mandy !!! You are truly talented ."

"My daughter loves her haircut and color from Erica! She was so pleasant and did an excellent job! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience."

"Erica helped me repair damage done by over-bleaching my hair. She had great ideas for how to keep it looking blonde but require much less damage (and also less money!) to maintain. I basically just told her what I wanted generally, and she went off on her own and just did something awesome! So glad I trusted her to do what she thought best. She even worked around me taking a phone call for work halfway through her session, which turned out to be a long call, meaning she basically had to completely start over afterward because it threw off all her timing. She didn’t even comment on that or seem annoyed, even though I felt bad about it and definitely delayed her for her next client. And I kept expecting the bills to be higher — don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t cheap, but it was certainly worth it and less than I was expecting. Thank you Erica!! **Editing to add: Madison is also awesome! I've been to her a few times for keratin treatments, and just like the hair cuts and color, they've come out way better from her than from the other couple places I've tried. Plus, I brought along my husband this time, and Madison gave him the best haircut he's gotten in a LONG time, maybe EVER. Also, Erica was sick and had to cancel (totally understandable and appreciated!), but she and Madison made sure I was covered to touch up my roots before an important event. Madison squeezed me in last-minute and took great care of me. As usual, my hair looks exactly how I wanted it to look! On top of all that goodness, we somehow only paid $105 for both of us (with a discount for the last-minute change, and not including the tip), which seems crazy low! Even though we've moved away from OB, we will continue driving down all the way from San Marcos to keep going to OB Waves, because it's 100% worth it."

"OB Waves Salon is HANDS DOWN the best salon in OB. The energy, vibes, and service in this salon are top notch and each and every staff member is positive, genuine, and extremely welcoming. I love how warm the studio is and the aesthetic is absolutely magical! You can not go wrong with any stylist here. I have worked Erica multiple times and will never go to another hair stylist again. She is beyond AMAZING!! Erica has not only broadened my personal hair knowledge, but has also assisted me with finding and building upon the perfect blonde tone for my hair without any breakage. She will listen to you and is a true master at what she does. She spends authentic time, is an absolute professional, and is so clearly passionate about what she does. I could not recommend Erica more. She will give you exactly what you want and she will do it precisely and with lovely conversation. I trust her for life!"
