I had the best time with Pat! I came in for a hair cut and I have thick and curly hair, and Pat did such an amazing job by giving the hair cut that was long needed. I’ve been to multiple places that struggle to deal with my type of hair, but Pat did such an amazing job, and I’m definitely going back. Thank you so…

Charles is a life saver! I needed a haircut prior to a wedding on the island. Poor planning on my part left no time to go to my usual place. I called several salons looking for quick cut.

Pat runs a great shop: easy to work with, takes the time to cut hair correctly, and is fun to chat with about surf and life. My wife told me it was the best haircut she's ever seen on me!

I had virgin hair that I could sit on when I walked into wavelengths today. I had never been to a salon or anything before.

I spoke to Pat on the phone at 5PM on Friday. I asked if he would be able to get me in tomorrow. He said I have 1:30 available and you will be seeing me. I scheduled and when I showed up he had just left. His colleague called him and Pat said to me he doesn’t work over the weekends. I said I spoke to you yesterday…
