The Painted Wave

After being with the same stylist for over 10 years, I took a chance on visiting someone new. Sydney had excellent reviews and an impressive portfolio online, and I was able to book with her with ease. I went in for a full balayage, something I’d never done before. I’ve always gotten full highlights, and with my coarse, curly, and overgrown hair, I wasn’t sure what to expect from someone who had never worked with my hair before. Sydney exceeded all my expectations and was wonderful to talk to. She strikes a great balance between technical expertise and soft skills. As someone with a Type A personality, I appreciated that she didn’t spare any product—my hair was fully covered, both in terms of product application and overall coverage. She pays incredible attention to detail and clearly ca

I have struggled so much finding a hairstylist I can depend on and trust with consistency in Columbia, and Sydney has NEVER failed me. Seriously - been to 10+ hairstylists all over Columbia and this salon is the best. Not only does your hair feel amazing after the salon but also for months (or many, many months in my case) after the appointment. My hair has been the healthiest, strongest, and most vibrant ever since I started seeing Sydney!!! She is a hair magician and has saved my hair when I thought there was no return. Not only does Sydney make you feel comfortable and welcomed, but also truly understands your wants and desires, and goes above and beyond to achieve them. She is my godsend and the best in town.

I was a first time client with Sydney and let me just say- she rocked it! She was so kind and I LOVED sitting in her chair. She goes above the call of “just” doing hair. She is knowledgeable and gives good recommendations for your specific hair. I felt as though there were a bunch of friends in salon, because everyone was chatty and hyped you up! Will definitely come back. Love my new do!

EMMIE IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!! She is so talented with balayage and priced so reasonably. She is so sweet and listens to what you want and always goes above and beyond. She pays attention to detail and gives me the best balayages I’ve ever had and I have been to lots of different stylists. She corrected someone else’s work for me yesterday and gave me the most beautiful tone and knew what I wanted better than I even knew lol. She is AWESOME!!! The first pic is before and second is after😁😁🥰

I love everything about this salon! It's very clean, great atmosphere, and amazing products. Sydney was welcoming and put me right at ease while she worked magic on me. I now have my dream hair and it's never felt healthier. Can't wait to come back!
