I've been gatekeeping Kyle for years, but it's time to share the wealth because he is THAT good. Kyle is a true balayage mastermind. The blend, the tone, the grow-out -- everything is always flawless. My hair never looks brassy or overdone, and it somehow manages to look better and better as it grows out. I can't tell you how many times I've had complete strangers stop me to ask who does my hair or if they can take a photo for inspo. No exaggeration. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beyond the talent, Kyle actually listens. You don't have to over-explain or bring a million photos -- he just gets it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every appointment feels easy, consistent, and intentional, and I always leave feeling like my hair looks expensive (in the best way).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've trusted him with my hair for years and wouldn't go to anyone else. If you're looking for natural, lived-in, perfectly blended color... this is your sign. read more

Beachy Waves Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Long Beach, California

THE +'s: kyle. super cute location that's very clean and well kept. comfortable hair wash stations (yes, this is absolutely a plus because the ones that bend your neck at an unnatural angle suuuuckkk). kyle. did i mention kyle? THE -'s: street parking only. :( if you come during the middle of the weekday though, it shouldn't be too much hassle. SUM: [[HIGHLIGHT]]booked an appointment here with kyle after reading the yelp reviews because my lifelong hairstylist retired.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] you pay half of the cost as a deposit up front and the second half is due at the end of the appointment. i actually really love this because it spreads out the cost and i'm not shelling it all out in one go. the appointment with kyle was a fantastic experience. not only is he skilled and gave me the exact cut i was looking for, [[HIGHLIGHT]]he was also a great conversationalist. i spent the most relaxing saturday morning with him.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] kyle and beachy waves is now my go-to! read more

I have been going to Alexa for years now. She always listens to my concerns/requests and gives very insightful and helpful input along the way. I know I can always trust her with my hair, whether it's highlights, balayage, or even a crazy request to go purple for a season! She's also helped me experiment with different kinds of bangs for fun and just see what I feel for that moment. Book her! You won't regret it! She is the best at what she does!

Bianca is my girl! Whenever I need a change or just a quick fix on my hair, she knows exactly what to do! I am never disappointed with the outcome because she puts so much time and energy to make sure you walk out of the salon feeling fabulous. I have been her client for a year now and am always happy with what she does to my hair even on days when I'm unsure of what to do. I don't know much hair knowledge but I have so much trust in her. Everytime I get my hair done, I feel transformed and a whole bad a** B! Thank you Bianca! Sharing my photos from my last appointments read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Didn't want to write this-- and I left two messages at the salon asking them to rectify the situation or I would need to write something on Yelp--but no response.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought I would look for a salon closer to my home and avoid the 45 minute drive to Newport Beach. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I left a message for the owner and she called me back. She was lovely and told me she really wasn't taking on new client, but she just got back from maternity leave and had an opening[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. She did alert me to the fact that she required 50% up front--which I thought was strange, but fair. I made an appointment for a few days in advance, then immediately got an invoice for $130+ dollars. This was for a partial weave--meaning the weave was roughly $270....that's more than I already pay by $70. I called her and cancelled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is now two months later and at least once a week I get the same invoice---over and over again. I have left messages, sent emails--to no avail[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My neighbor Kiely asked if she should try them "uh, nope." read more

I have been going to Alexa since she started her career in beautifying hair (that's 15 years). She continues to amaze me with her technique, her knowledge of hair care, her ability to know exactly what I need (even when I don't know), and her amazing journey to hone her craft. I always leave the salon feeling like a million bucks. She makes me feel current but not trendy, youthful but still my age. She has perfected my "money piece" and I love it. I was a little nervous at first, but now I can 100% say I will be doing this more often. Ask her what the "money piece" is if you don't know. LOL. I am always in front of a buyer (virtual and in-person) and every meeting starts off with boatloads of compliments about my hair. When I am in line at the grocery store, I have people come up to me and ask me "who does your hair"... if I had a dollar for every time I get asked, I would be able to retire. In all seriousness, if you're unhappy with your hair, need a new look, or just want to condition your hair, go see Alexa... she's got a great personality, her salon is so fresh and welcoming and she will make you feel like family about 2 seconds after meeting her. You will not be disappointed. I promise! read more

I've been a client of Alexa's for over 5 years now, and I have not and will not trust anyone else with my hair! She never fails to not only make my hair feel super healthy, but the colors and cuts are always on point. My hair is what I get complimented on the most, and that's all because of Alexa. I usually walk into my appointment with a general idea (sometimes no idea) of what I want to do to my hair, and I let Alexa's creativity, knowledge, and vision take the lead. I Never leave disappointed. I've referred many friends to her and they all fall in love just the same! Highly recommend! read more

Beachy Waves Salon - Hair Stylists Near Me - Long Beach, California

I can't say enough good things about this salon! Alexa is amazing. She has done an amazing job on my hair and over the short time I've been coming here, I've seen significant improvements to my hair...both health wise and look wise. Alexa and Malia gave me an incredible brunette color that I love! They listen to what you want, take into account your lifestyle and make great suggestions. For example, I have to wear my hair gelled back into a tight bun for work, so Alexa suggested a deep conditioner and a more blended brunette so it would be lower maintenance for me. I am very happy with the color and it has lasted longer than color typically does on my hair. My hair feels so much healthier too. The salon is also super cute!!! read more

Alexa..... Bad business! I reached out to her via her ig page. I was scrolling on ig for a hair stylists & her page was lovely. I followed her and then messaged her using the automated questions that pops up. Which was lovely and convenient because I was busy at the moment although still trying to look for a last minute hair stylist. She then.... Blocked me! reposted my message and said it was disrespectful and talk to her with some respect. I didn't disrespect her in any way, nor did I think it would be a problem with selecting one of the pop up questions because that was an options. When I went back on ig hoping she reached back out to me. I was blocked!!! SMH, I'm born and raised in LB & never came across someone so ridiculous & sensitive.... I wouldn't want to go in to her salon with her type of energy! read more

Kyle is the only person I will let touch my hair 2 weeks before my wedding. I wanted something very very subtle (different than my first appt- see first photo and previous review) and this man spent 4+ hours making sure that my balayage looked like I just naturally had these amazing highlights in my hair (see photo on wedding day). He also spent extra time putting additional toner in to adjust the color ever so slightly. I have no idea why he does not have a 6+ month long waitlist. read more

Beachy Waves Salon - Haircut/Color - Hair Stylists Near Me - Long Beach, California

Kyle has been my hairstylist for highlights and cuts for about 4 years when he was in Pasadena but I moved to Long Beach during the pandemic. It was fate when he started working here at Beachy Waves, so I had to visit him for a post-quarantine cut! Kyle's highlighting work is absolutely beautiful, and I've had my share of bad color jobs. Just check out his Instagram for more photos of his work @itskylekyle. You definitely get what you pay for! Located in a LGBTQ-friendly area, it's no wonder that this salon is super chic and trendy adorned with a lot of pastel pink and some coastal accents since it's located a few walking blocks away from the beach. He and his coworkers are super sweet and friendly, just like pals hanging out and getting pampered. read more

If you want your hair to look amazing, you have to get Alexa to do your hair. She's a very talented professional and loves her profession - you can tell she's very passionate about her craft. Alexa is an expert hairstylist and colorist. She is very patient and listens to me - she fully understands what I want my hair to look like and able to execute on it. In the last year, I've received so many compliments on my hair...my husband, who never comments on my hair, even said my hair looks great (and that says a lot!). If you want to feel good about yourself, Alexa can help. She really is that amazing - trust me! read more

Beachy Waves Salon - Love my hair!!! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm the type of person that never cuts her hair, and when I do it's literally the smallest trim possible. So the fact that I trusted Alexa to color my hair says something . Alexa was extremely patient with me throughout the whole process. We started off with a trim just to see how that went and then we did color on my next appointment. She explained everything that she was doing and made sure I was ok along the way. I wanted something subtle, as this was the first time I ever colored my hair, and that's exactly what I got. She did an amazing job and provided a lot of knowledge on products and aftercare. Alexa is very sweet and makes the whole experience very fun and not scary at all. I don't trust anyone with my hair but since every experience with her has been amazing, she is definitely my new hairstylist read more

You know that great feeling you get when you find a hairstylist who just gets you and knows your hair? Well that's what it feels like when you get your hair done by Alexa. She has been doing my hair for over 10 years and her talent just gets better and better. Alexa takes the time to understand the history of each of her clients' hair. She will consult with you beforehand and thoroughly looks over your hair to recommend what hairstyle or hair treatment works best for you. I am blown away at her expertise! She remembers exactly what's been done to my hair with each visit! I can't even remember that myself! I always feel comfortable knowing I am in good hands with her and my hair has never looked better. Alexa is also an amazing colorist! Even after 10 years of getting my hair colored and highlighted, it is never dry or damaged. She only uses the best hair products and will recommend what to use at home to keep your hair looking healthy. Her haircuts are always on trend and my hair is always on point! She'll show me how to style my hair during my visits and even posts hair tutorial videos on her IG account. It's helped me so much, since I do not have any hair skills! My haircuts always compliment my face as Alexa will dissuade me from getting a cut or color she feels won't work for me. I trust her completely and she is always right! After having many hairstylists before Alexa ruin my hair or give me a haircut I simply hated, I know how hard it is to find a great hairstylist/colorist who actually cares about their clients' hair and happiness...and that is Alexa! Alexa recently opened her very own salon in Long Beach and it is simply adorable! Although it is a farther drive for me, she is worth the drive! She is just one of those hairstylist that you will want to keep forever no matter where she is located! Trust me, she's that good! read more

Ok! My experience with Alexa at Beachy Waves isn't just about getting my tri-monthly trims, but more about how when I explained that I had a phobia of getting my hair done ( I had horrible experiences with backlash from previous stylists), she didn't judge me. In fact, she listened and she cared. That was something the others never did. I found my stylist and Im never leaving. #ourhairisourpetals Thank you! Deb read more

Well, let me start by saying that Alexa is the real deal! I started seeing her when she was in Pasadena on Green St! I think that was 2014 so I can speak to how great she really is. I didn't hesitate to follow her to the LBC even though I live in NELA. She knows how to work with all hair types and will always be honest and give professional recommendations. I have thick, curly hair and she works it without ever complaining. She's a miracle worker! Aside from her awesomeness as a pro, she is very genuine, beautiful inside and out, funny, caring, a good listener and always has the best stories! I'm not surprised that she opened up her own salon. It wasn't easy, but if anyone could pull it off, it's Alexa. Her salon is in a great location and it's super cute and cozy. She will make you feel like part of the Beachy Waves family from the moment you step foot in her salon. I recommend her to everyone and those that have gone to see her always thank me profusely! read more
