I'm glad I came across this studio! Linh did a great job with my balayage. I felt very relaxed and comfortable during my appointment. She also played good music and the vibe overall was good. I'll be coming here again. read more

Update! Linh did it again!!! With my first hair cut, I was conservative and did not cut off much of the length...but this time I said let's go short (which is truly my preferred length). I am always nervous about cutting my hair short because with my natural curls, the shape of my hair cut matters and I had a hard time finding someone who KNOWS how to cater to my preferred shape. Linh again took the time to listen to my wants, needs, and concerns and she DELIVERED ON THE CUT/SHAPE. My naturally curly hair is shaped perfectly with minimal styling effort. I am so happy!! Also ~ still the sweetest, still a great vibe, and the salon is still very relaxing! read more

5/5 highly recommend Wave Studio and Linh! I came here for a haircut with my mom and we absolutely love our hair thanks to Linh! Wave Studio is clean, chill and has the best music without it being extremely loud. Relaxing environment. Linh is a master of her craft! She works well with different types of hair, she is detail oriented and patient! She is very easy to talk to without having forced conversations. She makes her clients feel comfortable. In the past my mom hasn't had the best experience with getting her haircut but Linh changed that for her! Can't wait to come back! Thanks so much again for making us look and feel good! read more

I came here twice in the span of a week. I found them on Google when looking for a local salon. This is the only spot I found that wasn't overpriced and still gave amazing quality! My first appointment was for a haircut and they were able to fit me in the same day with Emily. Loved the cut and she was super sweet and did an amazing job. That's what led me to booking my next appointment for color within a few days of my haircut. Second appointment went smooth and the consultation was clear. The color came out perfect and I can't wait to come back to my new go to hair salon! read more

I had the best experience at Wave Studio thanks to Sarah! She always has the best recommendations for color and has such great attention to detail. She always makes sure I don't leave unless I 100% love it and never disappoints. The salon is also super inviting, comfortable and vibrant. It is definitely worth a visit! read more

Linh is amazing! She got me a super clean fade that's easily one of the best I've had, and on top of that, she gave me a perm that turned out perfect.

Best prices and quality!!! I moved away and still come here from downtown Los Angeles to get my hair done from Linh

I got a wonderful haircut here, during which I felt that Lin really took the time to really listen to what type of cut I wanted. She analyzed my hair type and its curl level, and kept checking with me as she worked on the cut. The shampoo chairs are unique and very comfortable, and the salon is nicely decorated. Check it out, and see what Lin can do for you. read more

So glad I found Waves Studio on Yelp! It was my first time to have my hair cut with Linh, and she is amazing. First off, I loved how easy it was to book an appointment with her. I just went to her website and booked online, choosing the service, date, and time I wanted. A deposit was needed as well. I got a text reminder the day before. Her studio is bright, sleek, and inviting, and easy to find. Linh was very thorough and patient throughout the whole process. She was extremely nice and made me feel at ease. She took her time and was very accommodating, making sure I was satisfied with my haircut every step of the way. I don't think I've ever experienced this level of attention to my hair before. I loved how my hair turned out! Linh is absolutely the best hairstylist I've ever come across. I will definitely go back to her for my next haircut. Highly recommend her, as matter of fact, I've already made an appointment for my husband! read more

I recently got a haircut with Linh and it was great! My hair is wavy (type 2b) and I have a lot of hair so I was looking for a place that is more knowledgeable in cutting wavy hair. It was helpful to read reviews about others getting their textured or curly hair cut with Linh and to see pictures of those results. The location is small with two salon chairs and one rinsing sink, but it works so well and I really enjoyed the smaller setting. They put much thought into the space's decor and functionality so it doesn't feel cramped! Upon entering, Linh immediately welcomed me and offered me a drink and we started discussing what I was looking for. I recently cut my hair at a different salon but the cut didn't look great after I washed my hair later in the week. My hair was bottom-heavy and some parts dried more curly than others leaving my hair looking botched. She dry-cut my hair, washed it (she gives a great scalp massage!), cut it a little more, then styled it. During that time she recommended low-maintenance techniques and suggested some products. I asked for my hair to be styled naturally, so she diffused my hair with light products. It came out amazing and helped me see how the haircut came out. I have washed my hair twice since then and it still looks great, no more botched-ness! My hair maintains its wave pattern and still has volume. I am so happy I found Linh. read more

Wave Studio Salon - Haircut and styled by Linh! - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

started going to Linh after years of bleaching/toning my hair. She's super knowledgeable and never pushes you into something you're not ready for. At my first appointment, I was nervous about going darker and didn't go quite deep enough. Instead of rushing me, she sent me home with product recommendations and even told me exactly where to find them, super helpful. A few weeks later, when I was ready to go darker, she transitioned my hair beautifully She's also super responsive via text and kind. The studio itself is lovely and relaxing she gives a great scalp massage, and a little lap desk so you can use your laptop or iPad during your appointment. amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend, especially for bleached hair read more

Great, first experience with Linh! I had an idea of what bangs I wanted but Linh helped me figure out exactly what I was looking to get. She took off a little at a time until I was completely happy with my bangs. She also offered me advice and answered all my questions. I'll be back! read more

My whole experience with Linh was a total hair-changer! Yes, she's a true hair expert, hair doctor, and an amazing stylist. I'm so in love with my hair right now! It's been a while since my last haircut, and I was looking for someone who understands my hair. My main issue was that I had dry, frizzy, unmanageable hair (a lot of it, too), and I wanted to make my daily morning routine as easy as possible. Linh asked all the right questions to get to know what I like and my lifestyle. As a result, I left the salon feeling completely satisfied, with healthy hair that looked exactly how I imagined. She nailed the style I was looking for. Although this was just my first visit, I'm coming back for a color retouch. What I also appreciated is that she didn't try to push products on me, something I've experienced before with things that didn't work and were overpriced. I genuinely liked her recommendations, her honesty, and the level of care she gave. By the way, I loved the hair-washing experience! The chair was incredibly comfortable, with a spa-like vibe that was extremely relaxing, and it didn't strain my neck. Top-of-the-line! So yes, this is my honest feedback, and I rarely write reviews unless I'm 1000% satisfied. Thanks so much, Linh! I truly appreciate everything you did for my hair, and I'm already looking forward to my next appointment! read more

Linh at Waves Studio Hair Salon is the best! She asks the right questions to make sure I always get exactly the cut I want! She also gives her professional opinion when I'm not sure. I have been going to Linh for over 6 years now and have never had a bad cut. I actually found her because someone else had given me the WORST cut ever and she was able to fix it! Linh is great at knowing just how to give me a cut that is best for my face as well as for my lifestyle. She's a great listener and ensures you get a great cut that is exactly what you want. read more

If you are scared to get a haircut and looking for a trustworthy salon this is the place!! I was breaking down after a terrible haircut, and I thought I would never trust another stylist again. For context, I have very long hair that has not been cut in over 5 year so I was very scared. And after some choppy layers from another salon, Linh was able to come to my rescue and fix my hair. She walked me through the whole cut and really took her time to understanding what I wanted. Will definitely be a returning loyal customer now. The salon is so cute and cozy, and she made sure my experience was the best! read more

The first time I knew of Linh was back when she worked at a salon in Whitter, CA. This was a while back. She was not my hair stylist then, but I remembered being a creep and just watching her work her magic on her client. From the way she colored, cut, and styled that client's hair, I was blown away. Pun totally intended. I managed to find her on social media and followed her on Instagram (IG). At some point, she was located too far for me to attempt a cut, but I follow her work on IG and consistently see the beautiful way she colors and cuts her clients' hair. I am also really awed by the fact that because I follow her, I know she takes time to continue her education to grow her skills in her profession. For example, not only is Linh a color guru, I believe she is absolutely knowledgeable when it comes to wavy, curly, textured hair. A stylist who has experience with non-straight Asian hair is not quite as common from what I know. I have wavy, frizzy hair, so it has always been a struggle to find a stylist who understands my hair. When I found out Linh opened her small salon in Long Beach, I made the decision to officially, and finally, go in for a cut. And I was utterly impressed even more having finally conversed with her. Linh was meticulous in her questions. I appreciate this attention to detail because she asked me what I envisioned, what my concerns and challenges were as a wavy-hair girl, so she could understand and shape my cut. Then she asked about my wavy-hair routine from washing to styling. I have never had a stylist ask this of me before. I told her honestly it was going to take me some time to think through her questions since this was new to me, but I absolutely love that she wanted to get to know me and my hair. Linh took time brushing my hair out and then gave me a dry cut. After, she thoroughly washed my hair, gave me a light head massage, and shared with me that based on my scalp, she could tell I lacked sleep. Like what kind of witchcraft is this!? :) I mean I am sure many of us suffer from lack of sleep, but the way Linh explained it, totally made sense to me. She's definitely the hair doctor to me. Well, maybe a hair witch because of her incredible skills, which is like magic to me. I chopped off quite a bit of hair (length went from mid back to just past my shoulders after) and felt so much lighter. My hair is quite dry at the end, so Linh gave suggestions on products she recommended, and I never felt she was pushing products on me. Her recommendations truly felt like genuine concern for the health of my hair. I loved the layers Linh gave my hair and the tips she provided for the best care for my hair. Her salon is easy to find. For me, it was practically off a freeway exit. The name of the salon on the outside is called Surreal Salon, but Linh's actual salon suite that she owns is Waves Studio Hair Salon. Linh really is such a genuine and sweet soul with great skills. I highly recommend her, ESPECIALLY for those with wavy, curly hair. read more

I had the absolute best experience with Linh! It was seriously the most thorough haircut of my life, and she tailored it perfectly to fit me (no standard, basic haircuts here). She asked such good questions about my hair while cutting to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it, and it all turned out incredible. It's been a few weeks since I went in and my hair still feels just as healthy and soft as it did went I first left the salon. The scalp massage was also out of this world. :-) Linh is the best & I will definitely be returning!! read more

Linh is great. Been seeing her for almost a year. I was looking for a stylist that could cut bangs as I am very picky. She listens and offers suggestions. She offers a great full haircut and I feel great. She is very good with her craft. This photo is about 2 weeks after my bang cut and I styled it myself. Of course she styles my hair better than I. Try her she is great! read more

Sorry for the background noise in the videos. Been trusting Linh with my hair since I've known her. Although we're related by blood, I appreciate all that she has done. Moments that led up to this new haircut was a journey in itself. Should I cut it, should I grow out? I'm single, and most guys I think, like longer hair on a woman. But YOLO. lol. Linh goes above and beyond for her clients. Communicates with you, so that you're leaving with realistic results and end up happy. She takes time with coloring hair, so you wont have to worry about what comes after you wash it the first time. The integrity of your hair. Beats bleach fails at home. Makes sure you're comfortable with the process. I'm loving this shizz and feeling myself. read more

Wave Studio Salon - New haircut - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I LOVE LINH'S WORK!!! I made an appointment for 1230, but I was able to come early, so I message her, and she immediately took me in right after her haircut appointment. She is so accommodating and educated. She broke down what she was going to do based on me just telling her that I needed to go a little lighter but stay on the darker side. She even educated me on why I was getting split ends due to the products that I was using. She suggested some of the products that she sold in store to help my repair my hair. She even tested the products on my hair prior to selling me her products. You'll never find any stylist as honest and as accommodating as she is. read more

OMG BOOK HER NOW!! I've been coming to Linh for years now. Linh has never disappointed! She's worked a plenty of salons and I could tell you right now I followed her to every single salon she's worked at (even the location an hour and a half away) because she's just that amazing and I seriously do not trust anyone with my hair but her! Anything I wanted, she did it but even better. I always tell her I want to go lighter and not to cut my hair too short and she always delivers even if she doesn't always agree that I should go that light since it'll damage my hair haha! She is always so honest and always gives me the best tips by recommending the best hair products to keep it healthy and beautiful! My balayages I ask for always gets compliments and everyone always asked where I get my hair done! Her patients and attention to detail is unmatched and I am so grateful to have her!!! If you are looking for someone patient, detailed and experienced, Linh is your girl :) I promise you will not be disappointed!!! read more

There's just no one else I would trust to take care of my hair. The few times I've cheated on her due to convenience, I've instantly regretted it because she ended up having to fix it for me. Whether it's for color or cut, she always makes sure to listen to what I'm requesting. I have yet to be disappointed with anything she's ever done with my hair. I've recommended her to many of my own friends and family. So far, no one has tried to hunt me down lol If you want amazing looking hair with someone who takes pride in their work, look no further! Linh is a true artist when it comes to hair! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Linh! Long story short - she is by far my new favorite professional hairstylist in Long Beach! She gave me the perfect layered cut & partial highlights. She is that witty & honest sister you didn't know you needed in your life that just so happens to be an insanely talented hairstylist! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a hair makeover to Linh especially anyone with stubborn Asian hair like myself. read more

I'm so happy I found Linh! As a middle-aged man without the greatest hairline or hair density, it's been a real challenge to find anyone who won't butcher my hair. At this point, I honestly wasn't sure if I had enough hair to do anything other than a buzz cut, but Linh assured me that wasn't the case and ended up giving me a hairstyle that I really liked. Linh worked with me to figure out what hairstyle would suit me based on my hairstyle preferences, state of my hair, and head shape. During the haircut, she would pause to show me the progress and confirm that we were going in the right direction. She spent time to explain why she was cutting my hair the way she was and pointing out my particular hair issues and how she was approaching them. This is a very detail-oriented art and Linh is clearly an expert. Also, Linh is a very kind and welcoming person who made me feel really at ease even though it was my first time being there. We had a great conversation about a whole host of topics--she's a fascinating person! When the haircut was done, she washed my hair and offered to style it. I have always had issues styling my own hair, so I wanted to see how she would approach it. Her techniques were much different than mine and much more effective! She took the time to explain what she was doing (and the rationale behind it) so I could try to do it myself at home. She even mentioned to take note of anything about the haircut that I didn't like or had concerns about so we could improve upon the cut next time. So from start to finish, in all aspects, I was very happy with the experience. I've finally found someone I can completely trust with my hair. Thank you, Linh! read more

Linh is amazing! There are no other words. Not only did she fix a horrendous hair job that I previously had she treated my hair so it continued to grow out healthier AND the color was exactly what I asked for and what I have been looking for for YEARS!!
