MakinÕ Waves hairdressers have been doin' dos in Hills since October 1987.
Joan Michael, Donna Burgers and Donna Carlson each work about 35 hours per week in the salon. Working by appointment, Kris Van Der Brink provides massage therapy for Makin' Waves customers.
Makin' Waves is a full service hair salon with cuts, perms, coloring, waxing, hair care products and a tanning bed. Haircuts are $11, and a 200-minute tanning package is $25.
Makin' Waves is open Tuesday through Saturday with later appointments available on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
The hair business has changed through the years, according to Michael. "It seems we are doing more colors than when we first started," she said.
She said there are more hair care products to work with now than there used to be, and Makin' Waves stylists attend a hair show every fall to learn about new products and styles.
Makin' Waves draws customers from Hills, Luverne, Larchwood and Sioux Falls.
Michael recently volunteered as the stylist for residents at Tuff Assisted Living Village in Hills.
