Sherry Clayton

Color • Cuts • Curls

Sherry has spent more than 30 years building a Durham salon around great hair, honest guidance and genuine relationships. Behind the chair, she loves helping clients find the cut and color that truly work for their hair and their life, from dimensional highlights and curly hair to a really good haircut that still looks good months later. Sherry’s experience shows in how closely she listens, asks questions and gives caring, honest guidance, even when that means suggesting a different direction than the inspiration photo. Her goal is simple: that you leave feeling better than when you came in, with hair that works for you and your life.

Amira Chapple

Cuts • Perms • Color

For Amira, great hair starts with listening. She takes time to understand how you see yourself, then brings an artist’s eye, a practiced hand and a devotion to her craft to creating a look that feels like you. Amira especially enjoys haircuts, perms and color, and loves the trust that gives her room to be creative with each client. Her favorite part? Seeing someone walk out happy, feeling beautiful inside and out.

Chris Crabtree

Cuts • Color • Extensions

Chris is known first and foremost as a strong haircutter, blending classic technique with a modern eye to create great-looking, easy-maintenance hair. He takes time to understand your lifestyle, hair texture and how much styling you actually want to do, then tailors the look to you, not the other way around. Chris draws on deep experience to blend time-tested and current techniques for cuts, color and fused extensions, with one goal: hair that looks and feels great without making your life harder.

Carli Austin

Cuts • Color • Bridal

Carli believes everyone deserves to feel comfortable in the salon chair, and like a million bucks when they leave it. A versatile stylist with a background in barbering, she loves everything from blended cuts, blonding and color to edgy, expressive styles and bridal hair and makeup. Carli takes time to really listen, especially when hair loss, changing texture or other personal or medical concerns make a salon visit feel vulnerable. Her approach is caring, open-minded and judgment-free: meet you where you are, really hear you, and send you back into the world feeling good about yourself and your hair.

Kate Gunther Bowers

Color • Cuts • Perms

An artist before she was a stylist, Kate brings an artist’s eye and a deep understanding of color theory to her work behind the chair. Fun fact: Kate painted the mural at Wavelengths. She especially loves hair color, women’s cuts, and perms for both women and men. Just as important as how your hair looks when you leave is how it works the next morning: Kate styles with real life in mind, creating looks you can actually recreate at home. Her goal is for you to leave feeling confident that what she’s created for you is something you can achieve every day.

Lindsey Reiner

Blonding • Hair Painting • Cuts

Lindsey is passionate about creating beautiful hair that lasts, especially bright, dimensional blondes and cuts designed to grow out gracefully. She has spent years perfecting her own approach to hair painting, creating seamless highlights while protecting the integrity of the hair and helping clients get more life between appointments. Lindsey believes in listening, sharing what she knows, and finding the approach that works for your hair, your budget, and your real life. Her goal is for you to feel heard, love your hair, and know she has your back long after you leave the chair.

Layered Cuts • Vivids • Waves

Lynette is Wavelengths’ newest stylist with a creative spirit and a fresh perspective, especially drawn to layered cuts, vivid color and soft, lived-in waves. She knows what it feels like to leave a salon without feeling heard, so she makes listening a priority, creating hair that reflects who you are while always protecting its health and integrity. Lynette brings a fresh eye, creative energy, and thoughtful care to every client in her chair.

Liby Clare

Liby Clare

Liby knows firsthand what it’s like to struggle with natural curls, and what can happen when you finally learn to love them.

She also loves bridal hair and makeup, bringing her own Brazilian techniques and an artist’s attention to the finishing details.  Liby wants you to leave loving what your natural hair can do, and once you’re home, knowing “I can do this myself.”
