What if the salon you’ve always dreamed of working in actually existed?

 Golden Wave Salon is a supportive, elevated space where you can grow your business with freedom, connection, and all the tools you need to thrive.

Independence with Community — That’s the Golden Wave Difference.

Built by a hairstylist, for hairstylists.

Hi I’m Emily, owner of Golden Wave and I’ve been where you are—ready to step into independence, but longing for something deeper than just a rental space. For years, I dreamed of creating a salon where every stylist genuinely loves coming to work. A place that feels uplifting, peaceful, and full of possibility. That vision became Golden Wave Salon: a calm, professional environment where your business can thrive, your voice is valued, and you're surrounded by people who want to see you succeed.

​

I’m here to guide you, cheer you on, and make your transition into independence feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more joyful!

Does this sound like you?

You're a commission stylist ready to finally take control of your career and your schedule.

You’ve dealt with unclear policies, lack of leadership, or salon environments that just don’t feel aligned anymore.

You want freedom, but not loneliness. Independence, but with a sense of team.

You’re a suite renter who’s built something on your own, but you’re craving connection, support, and the spark of being surrounded by like-minded stylists again.

You’re craving a clean, welcoming space where you can grow your business without the stress of managing everything on your own.

If any of this resonates with you, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Golden Wave was created with you in mind.

Everything you need is already here!

  • Do you provide a booking system for my clients?

  • Can I choose my own hours?
    Yes! As a 5-chair salon, each stylist has their own dedicated station with 24/7 access—no sharing or split shifts. While we don’t offer part-time rentals at this time, you’re free to set your own schedule and work the hours that align with your lifestyle and your clients.
  • Can I bring my own back bar products?
    Absolutely! You’re welcome to use your favorite back bar products. We even provide storage behind the shampoo bowls to keep everything organized and within reach.
  • Is there a lease or contract to sign?
    Yes, we have a yearly lease in place to provide clarity and stability for both of us. We’ll walk through all the details together so everything feels transparent, fair, and aligned with your goals.
