Meet the Stylists


Susie - Makin Waves since April 1997

I am the salon owner and I specialize in hair extensions. I am also an educator and teach other stylists to do extensions.  I have over 10 years experience and do every technique of extensions on the market.  Please view the hair extension page for more information. I do Brazilian Blowout services to tame your frizz too.  You may contact me for general salon inquires, thanks!

JC - Makin Waves since 1997

JC prefers finishing all of his hair cuts with a precision dry cut, you wear your hair dry don't you?  He is also great at subtle, natural looking hair color for men.  If you like stick straight flat iron work  you will love him!  Permanent hair straightening is quite popular for his male clients and JC uses Redken & Schwartzkopf for hair color.  Brazilian Blowout to tame your frizz is popular for womens straight, sleek looks, ask me more about it.

 


Erika Wallmark - Makin Waves since February 1999

I have been licensed since 1992 and grew up in a hair artist family.  My mom owned a salon and that's where I was every day after school so I know alot of hair tricks.  I have fun working on all ages of men & women.  I specialize in corrective color. Corrective color is really my specialty, it may take all day but I can fix anything.  I use Goldwell and Redken color.  I seem to have a lot of  long hair clients since I'm not too scissor happy & I don't cut too much off.  If you ask for a trim that's what you get.  I do alot of Bo Derek style braids in the summer, this look is great for river trips & vacations.  PS..I only work Sundays if you ask nice! 


Patrick Anderson - Makin Waves April 2003-August 2010

Patrick has retired from doing hair and is now selling his product line full time.  We sell his pomade in the salon.  We hope to see Patrick become the next "Paul Mitchell" and wish him the best.

I work Wednesday thru Saturday and use Schwarzkopf products.  My main education has been with Schwarzkopf and Toni&Guy.  I have a wide range of male/female clients.  I love a challenge when it comes to hair color.  I prefer to use many colors on my clients to create a more natural look.  I am a part of the wedding team specializing in up-do's.

Rebecca Armelin - Makin Waves since June 2010

 I have been a licensed hairstylist since 1986, yes I did spend years doing spiral perms, nonetheless, I still love doing hair.  In the last 24 years I have always made on-going education a priority.  I love cutting & coloring all hair types from fine fragile hair to thick curly hair.   I enjoy doing short haircuts and I appreciate a long head of gorgeous hair, and I will leave it long and gorgeous if that is our plan.  I enjoy doing mens haircuts & colors also.  I am aslo a part of the wedding team doing up-do styles.  The past 11 years I have been a Senior Stylist at an Aveda Concept Salon, I am trained to do very subtle highlights to major color corrections.  Beyond my technical experience, I never forget what a privledge it is for someone to trust me with their hair and I don't take that lightly.  I am very professional & trustworthy, I look forward to meeting you.
