Modern Wave Salon and Spa

Lindsay did a great job on my fine thin hair. My boy had previously poorly layered, but she's managed to give me a terrific style while it grows out. Learned how to style my fridge so it doesn't flop into my face, too!

Bella is an amazing stylist! I love my hair cut! Would recommend her to anyone.

I went in for a drastic haircut from very long to quite short. I was very nervous to be doing it but my stylist Linsay was so nice and very reassuring which made the process so much better! She did and amazing job and I’d recommend her to anyone.

Amber has always done a great job on my hair. I get highlights/ balayage with a cut 2-3 times a year and get so many complements.

I had Amber today and she was awesome! I typically don't have a preference for who cuts my hair. From now on I will be asking for her.

I called today for a haircut and blowout service and was able to get in same day.. and I was lucky enough to have gotten Alison as my hairdresser.. she did a fantastic job !!. absolutely perfect I love when you find a stylist that gets you.. already made my appointment for my next cut .. thank you Modern Wave for taking me on such short notice and thank you Alison you have made my life a heck of a lot easier .. see you in 7

Visited today for the first time for a haircut. Amber cut/styled my hair & it’s easily hands down the best haircut I’ve ever gotten! Amber was extremely professional, personable, and just beyond wonderful! Everything was perfect from start to finish. She also suggested some product for my hair and I’m so glad I bought it because it too is great! After this flawless experience I will never let anybody else cut my hair again! I would absolutely recommend her specifically & this business to everybody!

The salon is very professional, clean, and welcoming. Bridget Snodgrass did a great job on my color and cut.

Katie knows how to give an expert haircut. Great job!

I've been to many salons in the area and I have never had better service than Modern Wave. My stylist Karen is very experienced and does a fantastic job on my thick wavy hair. I don't ever need to return for a fix and it grows out beautifully. Their Aveda products are also natural, vegan, and cruelty free which is very important to me. Everyone is so nice, the salon is super clean, and very efficiently run. I will only be getting my hair done here. Thanks girls!

Great experience. Today I had a color correction from Artic Fox purple rain. My stylist, Lindsay, helped me to achieve a gorgeous chocolate brown with golden lights. Lindsay was very friendly, professional, and incredible at her job. I'm glad I did my research on highly rated, reputable salons. Modern Wave is where it's at.

Laura did an awesome job on my hair! It was my first time seeing her and I absolutely love my highlights. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable. The salon was extremely clean, and they are taking many precautions to keep their clients safe. Will be back again!

I just wanted to stop by and say thank you to the girls at Modern wave from the receptionist who took my frantic call to Katie who saved my head! This weekend I bleached my own hair and quite literally destroyed it. I was in complete shock as my hair started to fall out in chucks (Don't do it yourself, leave it to the professionals!!!!!) and then to a crazier shock when I realized that most hair salons were not open on Sundays! I was so lucky to be able to find this salon and also lucky to have been able to sit in Katie's chair while she dealt with a disaster she had no idea she was walking into. Katie was patient, reassuring and kind as she took off almost all of my hair from the severe damage I had caused. I walked out in complete shock from the haircut as it was drastic but so necessary! I have now fallen in love with my new look (slowly but surely) and I cannot thank Katie enough for helping me in my craziest time of need. I highly recommend her for haircuts and color as she will walk you through everything with an incredible amount of knowledge all with a huge smile on her face. Thank you so much Katie! I will be back for more and hopefully not under the same crazy circumstances!

I have been coming to Modern Wave (every six weeks) for over 20 years and have never had a bad experience with a color, cut or style. My stylist Donnie is the absolute best. Despite moving out of Cary, I still travel 40 minutes just to get my hair done. Great salon with outstanding personal attention!

I had a fabulous first experience at Modern Wave with Kristy! I feel like she took the time to get to know me to ensure that I received a cut and color that I would be thrilled with. The hair wash was so relaxing, and I left the salon feeling pampered. I will definitely be back!

I had a great experience with Stylist Sara. I had an appointment for highlights and had brought her a picture of how I wanted it done. She did a great job and I was very happy with the way my hair turned out. It take a lot for me to trust anyone to do my hair- but she does such a great job that I have no problem making small changes to my hair as long as she does it!

Niece (15) decided to cut her own hair which is extremely curly. She had done the bottom half when I got home and asked me to make sure it was even. When she let the top half down I decided we needed help. Called Modern Wave saying I had an emergency. They scheduled me same day about 3 hours from call, then called back saying they had a cancellation could we come in sooner. Amber did a fantastic job styling and making the experience wonderful for my niece. It's a great salon, with wonderful stylists and customer service is fantastic!!

I have been going to Modern Wave for about 3 years working with Allison. My mom was a hairdresser so I am very picky about how my hair is cut and what shampoos I use. I changed salons 4 times in 9 years living in the city. Without question Modern Wave is far better than those salons. Consistent quality, nice environment, and most importantly good recommendations. I recently had a work conference in Vegas and wanted something shorter than usual that was business professional while maintaining my natural wave. The cut and product suggestions were perfect. Allison is a rock star!

I've been coming to Modern Wave for almost 6 years now, and I don't trust any other salon with my hair. This time I had Amber as a stylist - I always enjoy talking with her and she always does a great job at cutting/styling! Would recommend MW to anyone.

I just moved to the area and chose Modern Wave Salon based on reviews and am very glad that I did. Brie did an amazing job with my color and trim. She was very knowledgeable about all of the products without being pushy in any way trying to get me to buy them (although I did get some because of how great my hair felt and looked) She was so friendly and interesting that I actually will look forward to going back in a few weeks for a touch-up.
