Testimonial Entries

Sunday was my first time going to The Wayward Hairdresser and I had such a fantastic experience with Hazel! I did bleach and tone plus roots as well as a shortcut. Hazel really takes her time and made sure I was happy with the end result. I couldn’t be happier.

— Carmen Noelia

I have gotten blonde balayage, foils, and a haircut from Haley-Mae several times during the pandemic and this place is fantastic! Everyone is super friendly, and it feels very COVID-safe-- strict masking, plastic barriers between chairs, and even a backyard if you need to take your mask off for a minute. I’ve been really happy with all the color, too. It always looks great, and I appreciate how clear and detailed Haley-Mae is when explaining options/how it will look. I haven’t booked with any of the other stylists but they seem great as well. I always leave feeling satisfied and excited about my hair!

— Grace Eufarat Westin

Haley-May is the best colorist I’ve ever worked with. Her expertise actually gave me the confidence to go from blonde to pink (from dark brown natural color), and I still get so many compliments on it! The salon is super clean, they are strict about health/safety protocols, and I feel safe and relaxed going there in the pandemic. And everyone who works there is friendly and chill.

— Mardie Millit

Haley-Mae was AMAZING! She created the perfect color after many failed at home dye jobs. In love with my new hair! Totally awesome experience, can’t wait for my next visit!

— Dana Hagood

I absolutely love this place. The people are so professional and kind, and they truly make you feel comfortable. The stylists are talented and truly take their time to make sure you get exactly what you ask for.

— Stevie Blum

I cannot say enough how much I love Haley-May at The Wayward Hairdresser! Haley has been doing my hair for YEARS now. She has seen me through various stages of balayage, Platinum blonde, and most recently brought me back to a natural blonde-brown in 1 DAY! It was a LONG process but she was so amazing and willing and helped me get the look I wanted! She always listens to me, and is also honest with me about what is realistic and safe for my hair. Will definitely be back soon!

— Catherine C.

— Alaina H.

I absolutely love coming here!!! I have gotten my hair done several times by Haley May and I am obsessed. She has dyed, cut and styled my hair numerous times and I ALWAYS walk out with more confidence because my hair looks amazing. Haley is also extremely patient because I have a ridiculous amount of hair which can take many hours to dye. She is very friendly, warm, funny, and professional. I trust her fully which is hard for me to say as I have had many negative experiences in the past in other places. I feel very taken care of when I go in because she always listens to what I say I want and checks in along the way. Also her head massages while she washes your hair is to die for! Thank you Haley and I’ll see you soon!

— Rebecca R.

Kelly is absolutely amazing and she finally made me love my hair! She is patient, friendly and attentive to detail. The place is very nice and cozy, they have some beverages in the fridge and a nice backyard.

— Wonder Witch

Struggling with words to describe how amazing they are!!! These are simply wonderful human beings! Exactly what you need to be, to be an excellent hairdresser. In 35 years, I tried so many, all over the world, was continuously disappointed, mainly by the hairdresser not listening to me. Almost gave up. Until I ran into the Wayward crew. They listen, I mean really listen, in between the lines, anticipate, in seconds incorporating what kind of person you are and what you want. And they have things in their repertoire others simply don’t or are scared to do. And in addition they are cool, empathetic, they simply get it all!!!
