Salt + Light Salon

Salt + Light Salon is located at 2450 N Grandview Blvd, Suite F, in Waukesha. The salon's stated mission is to serve women in Waukesha County in a friendly space where they can talk through their hair goals, and it aims to help each client feel comfortable and confident in her own skin. Stylists work by appointment only, booking is done online, and each stylist sets a personal schedule, so hours vary a little. Monday and Thursday are listed as 10 AM to 7 PM and Friday as 10 AM to 8 PM. The salon describes the atmosphere as relaxed, with clients not being judged.

Curly hair is a major focus. The CurlyCut is a dry cut for natural waves or curls that includes a wash and style, plus guidance on keeping curls looking good at home. Clients who have already had a CurlyCut can book a CurlyRefresh, which is a dry cut without a wash or style. Curly clients are asked to arrive with their hair detangled and styled the way they normally wear it, without ponytails, messy buns or headbands. The salon says its stylists have had extensive training in specialty curly cuts, and it uses Innersense products for curly-haired clients. Non-curly clients can book haircuts that include a wash and style.

Color services include base color for root touch-ups, partial and full highlights, balayage, and Lived-In Blonding and Lived-In Color, which are low-maintenance options that grow out gradually. All color is booked a la carte and must be paired with a blow dry or a haircut. Colors may carry an additional charge of up to $20 if extra color has to be mixed. Extensions are offered in two styles: Invisible Bead Extensions, which require a consultation before installation, and K-Tip Extensions.

Prices differ by stylist. For example, the CurlyCut is listed at $100 or $105 depending on the stylist, and base color starts at $60 or $100 depending on who is doing the service. The salon also sells Innersense Organic Beauty products and Kitsch styling tools, and it offers chair rental to stylists.

Built around helping women feel comfortable and confident in their own hair, with a focus on curly-hair care and low-maintenance color that is easy to live with.

A relaxed space where clients are not judged, according to the salon.
