California Waves Studio is located in Studio 52 at 1870 Harbor Blvd in Costa Mesa. The salon centers on K-Tip hair extensions, a method where individual strands are attached to natural hair with a small keratin bond that is heated and melted on. The bonds are hand-made, roughly 5 by 5 mm, and use Italian keratin. The salon describes itself as the best hair extensions salon in Orange County.
Every new client starts with a consultation, which costs $50 and is required before booking. Hair extensions require a 50% deposit to reserve. Installation is priced per strand, and the salon's bundle packages (such as the Volume, Full Head, Bombshell and Supreme options) bundle installation, color matching, a wash and scalp massage, a conditioning mask, blow dry and styling, and a free haircut. Service prices vary by hair texture, length and density.
The studio's Premium Hair is 100% Remy with the cuticle intact, ethically sourced and free of silicone. It comes in straight and wavy textures and is Slavic hair. Extensions can be colored at the roots and along the lengths, but bleaching is not recommended, and the studio does not offer lightening services. Extensions typically last 10 to 14 weeks depending on hair growth, and the same hair can be removed, re-bonded and reinstalled at maintenance visits.
For aftercare, the studio recommends gentle products without heavy alcohol or oil, and a professional L'Oréal hair care line to help prevent tangles. It advises against purple toning shampoo, which it says can dry out extensions. Hot tools can be used with a heat protector, but should not touch the keratin bonds. The blog covers extension care, the K-Tip method and maintenance.
The salon focuses on a consultation-first process, color matching and gentle aftercare for extensions.
