WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Why Durham clients chose Wavelengths.
The professionalism of Wavelengths hits you as you walk through the door. It is a high class establishment and holds that position because of its owner, Sherry Clayton. I have been a customer for over 25 years and can only remember outstanding service.
— Lawrence W.
Sherry is a delight and a wiz with the snips. She and the staff at Wavelengths have created a space so inviting and exciting. It is clear Wavelengths loves their clientele and loves Durham. Proud to have had them here for so long!

Walked in on a whim because the salon looked so nice and inviting from the outside and I was in the mood for a birthday change. My stylist was fantastic! Understood what I wanted, made suggestions, and gave me the exact cut I was hoping for! … I think I might have to break up with my other hair guy after 14 years!
