Salon Wave,

1029 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10022

"This was my first time ever getting my hair done and the most pleasant experience ever! Ikuko was very attentive and made sure I was comfortable being my first time getting my hair done in my life. I must say the look was amazing after! I had no idea the length of my hair and was just such an amazing job! I’m ready for the wedding I’m partaking in and most grateful for this Salon being here and Ikukos amazing expertise! Would highly recommend getting your hair done here"

"I have been here a few times but every time I come get my haircut they out do themselves. I get the best haircuts here and I’ve gotten dozens all around the world. They are so precise and careful and make the time very enjoyable."

"I've been going to this salon exclusively for 4-5years now and everyone is always very nice and professional. Not to mention I've probably gotten my haircut by almost all the stylists and have never been disappointed. Would highly recommend !"

"I just got the best haircut! Yumiko listened carefully to what I wanted, recommended things to make my hair healthier, and generally just got my style and vibe. The entire experience was relaxing and fun and my hair looks fantastic. Nice, clean salon, too! I will be back - already booked another appointment."

"I found this place after walking out of a nearby salon during a consultation for a haircut, when it was clear the lady would botch the cut. It was clear by the way she was holding the sections of hair, I would have had a 19902 Raychel mushroom shaggy, rather than a long layered angled bob. So, i walked out of the appointment, and began searching salons and reviews in the area. I walked in to see if they had an opening, and I made an appointment for 2 days later. Upon arrival I was greeted politely. Cathy asked exactly what I wanted. She even handed me the comb and let me show her exactly how I wanted the hair directed. We discussed cleaning up the ends, the U shape cut in the back, and longer length in the front, as well as the minimal layers that also match the angle. She agreed to cut my hair exactly as I wanted. She stopped at various points to discuss whether I was ok with more length being taken off. She was extremely considerate, and very talented. I cannot tell you how many haircuts I have had in the last 5 years (in DC area) where I had to go home and recut it myself. I was so happy to get it cut, and it turn out perfectly. Despite my hair being curly, she did a perfect blow out with a round brush, no flat iron needed. She only used 1 product when drying/styling, and it held up despite the heat and moisture outside. It had started raining before my appointment, and I had thought it was going to ruin my straightened hair. I'm happy to say I was wrong, my hair didn't swell or revert to curls. I will be back. I will be volunteering for work assignments in NYC so I can get my hair cut by Cathy."
