Where Beauty, Wellness & Sustainability Come Together

For over 33 years, Modern Wave Salon & Spa has been Cary’s trusted destination for beauty, self-care, and holistic wellness. Since opening our doors in 1992 as the area’s first Aveda Concept Salon, we’ve remained dedicated to delivering exceptional service, personalized attention, and a deep respect for the planet we all share.

Every visit to Modern Wave is more than just a salon appointment—it’s a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

 

Proudly Aveda

We are proud to share Aveda’s mission of eco-conscious beauty and wellness. As an Aveda Concept Salon, we uphold the highest standards of care—combining plant-powered products, expert techniques, and a peaceful atmosphere to create results that nurture your hair, skin, and spirit.

Whether you’re here for a fresh cut, vibrant color, or a rejuvenating spa treatment, our goal is always the same: to help you leave feeling your absolute best.

 

Our Craftsmanship & Care

We believe excellence is a journey, not a destination. Our stylists and spa professionals continuously grow through Aveda’s world-renowned education and in-house mentorship programs, ensuring every guest receives skilled, customized care backed by creativity and precision.

 

We are equally devoted to our values—cruelty-free, plant-based products, sustainable practices, and mindful choices that support both your well-being and the Earth.

 

Relax. Renew. Revive.

From stress-relieving scalp rituals to radiant facials and beyond, every service is thoughtfully designed to promote relaxation and renewal. You’ll experience Aveda’s holistic philosophy in every detail—from the soothing aromas to the intentional touch of your provider.

 

Our space is a sanctuary where clean beauty meets luxury—inviting you to unwind, reset, and let us take care of the rest.
