Embrace How You Were Made
Wavy-curly hair is different.
But honestly? Absolutely incredible.
Let me show you the ins and outs, make it easy and fun, and I promise you, you’ll treasure your waves more than you ever thought possible.
Why Choose Waves?
Growing up, I hated my hair. Bangs made it awful. Layers made it worse. It was ‘poofy’ in all the wrong places. In high school, it became frizzy and flyaway. Was everyone else’s hair this frustrating? Fast forward to my 40’s. I cracked the curly ‘code,’ with modifications that worked for me, but also for wavies across the world. Today, as a professional curl specialist, I’m thrilled at the opportunity to teach fellow stylists, salon staff, and my own incredible clients that waves are beautiful and whole, without a blowout.

Wavy Experience Master Class
In this virtual class, we talk about it all. Fellow stylists will enjoy an in-depth peek into a wavy’s new client appointment, including a detailed consultation that covers her goals, current routine, lifestyle, and more.
We’ll craft a wave-enhancing cut, layering in a way that makes the most of her texture and works with her density. Then we’ll cleanse, condition and style—with a detailed talk on product selection—leveraging both volume and definition techniques to find that perfect balance, creating lifestyle hair that’s easy to re-create at home.
Low Density Love
Do you just have less hair to work with, or wish you had more volume? Or are you a hairdresser whose frustrated, low-density clients are feeling hopeless about their hair?
Alyson’s Low Density Love helps you maximize, accept, and totally fall in love with your waves. Here’s to the lightbulb moments you’re about to experience. Watch this one-hour class at your own pace to learn the most effective ways to cut, layer, style, and ultimately maximize lower density, wavy hair.
