Hair Coloring with Style ......to post a testimonial please go to CONTACT page and I will put it on for you....THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENTS...it is always an honor to hear.WANDA

I recently moved to Corpus Christi from Denver, Colorado and was in major need of a corrective hair stylist. My hair was orange with white roots! My former hair stylist got lazy and did a hack job on my hair and completely damaged it. Wanda came to my rescue and did major hair surgery. With several deep conditioning treatments, two corrective coloring and a new, hip and fun cut my hair feels healthy and vibrant again! I could not be happier with my hair! It feels and looks so much more natural, exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you Wanda! Brandy

Walking out of the salon today was a treat...I am usually rushing home as quickly as possible to "redo" the doo. Want to say thanks for taking into consideration my face frame, daily routine, and hair texture BEFORE you began the cut. Your vibrant personality made the whole experience fun and relaxing. See you next week for Hi-Lights.      Tammy C.  Corpus Christi, Tx. (new referral)

Wanda is great! I have had my hair colored by many stylists over the years, and I have to say that she was the MOST knowledgable and consultative of any I've ever been to. My cut is perfect for my hair type and the color is natural and beautiful. Thanks Wanda!.....

I am very particular about my hair and I did a lot of searching before settling on Wanda at Adolfo's Salon. Not only was she great at returning calls and discussing exactly what I was looking for, she made me feel like her only client of the day. I loved the small feeling of the salon and Wanda did great things to my hair. I would recommend her to anyone!..........Sommer G.   Alice Tx.   (Referred by google)

Wanda is wonderful and makes me look younger and more beautiful. She carefully listens to my needs and is willing to try the latest techniques. Her combination of color, highlights, and hairstyling looks trendy and fashionable and expresses my personality and matches with my professional career. She has brought back my self confidence and helps me to express on the outside exactly how I feel on the inside. When people I meet ask where I have my hair done, I always give credit to Wanda at Adolfo’s. This is an experience waiting to happen.    Carol D. - Corpus Christi

Until I met Wanda I had never had a HAIR COLORIST/HAIRDRESSER SPECIALIST. Oh I had been to see people who thought they were, and paid many of times over the years to get the effect I wanted, but to no avail. Then I met Wanda!!! WOW how she was able to correct a bad color job I had. She knew exactly what to do even though I had no idea what had been done to my hair. The cut and color are always PERFECT! I trust her with everything I have to make me look fantastic always. When she is done she always makes sure I can go home and do the same thing she does with the cut. I get so many compliments on my hair and all I can say is "THANKS WANDA" and go see her! I can't say enough about how wonderful she is, just trust me and go see her for yourself. You will be just as amazed as I am every time I see her!!!!!

I came to Wanda to correct some hilights that I got done, elsewhere, that were...well, frankly, they were a total mess! Wanda sat and did my consultation and offered me an AMAZING deal on corrective color and a great conditioning treatment. She even stayed well past closing to get my hair done that very evening, after the consult! Wanda is friendly, engaging and a very honest person...she aims to please and doesn't overcharge like many others in her profession. Her prices are extremely reasonable and her work is worth exponentially more than you end up paying her for it. I've gone back once, since my first visit and already have my next appointment scheduled for next week. Go see Wanda, just once, and you'll definitely become a loyal customer. ......Cassandra  Corpus Christi Tx. ...(referred by myspace)


 I can not say enough good things about Wanda! I have really curly puffy hair and I have been 1,000 different places to have it cut, dyed etc. This is the first time I have ever really loved my hair when I walked out. She is confident, listens to you, knowladgable, and made me feel totally comfortable (this is the abbreviated list).     When I walked in I had not done anything to my hair in 5 years, but trimmed the split ends. I had just gotten tired of people messing up my hair! I had an idea of what I wanted, it was a short style I had once before, but I only wanted that style again because I really didn't know what I wanted. Having never met Wanda before I totally trusted her professional opinion and I am SO glad I did. She ended up cutting off about a foot of hair and I could not be happier. I am so glad that I went with what she had in mind and not with the style I had once before.    My husband LOVES it and I had only had it for a few hours and 4 people told me that it makes me look younger! YAY!    THANK YOU WANDA!

I've been going to Wanda for over 9 years and I absolutely love her and have never been disappointed with her "miraculous" work!!! She works wonders!!!!

......Julie S. - Sinton Texas


You can't even imagine how much it meant to me that you would go out of your way to take me in. Last night was near the worst in my life(a little exaggerated,of course),and for you to alleviate the situation makes you truly heroic in my eyes. Whenever you look at the frame I took to you,I hope you remember how much of a blessing from God you truly are.I know that he works through you from seeing your heart of gold and your compassion. Thank you so much for correcting my haircolor.You will never be forgotten.Be prepared to see me more in the future!.....The most sincere love,...Jessica S..(new client- refered by website)


Where do I start? Wanda is honestly the greatest hairstylist I've ever had. I have really long hair and have been coloring it for about 11 years now. Every stylist I've ever gone to has either messed up my hair, not gotten the color to what I wanted it to be claiming it was "not possible" to get my hair a lighter shade of blonde or they were just flat out rude to me,unwilling to listen to what exactly it was that I wanted.

I went to a higher rated salon listed on Local YAHOO (which by the way gets the high ratings by giving away prizes to those who rate them high which is dishonest) but the stylist there completely messed up my hair so badly that I had to continuously go back to try to get it fixed and wow, was the price high! She never got it how I wanted and I hated it. I'd never paid so much for a good hair coloring, much less an awful experience!

Wanda listened to me and was so willing to help me with my color that she stayed long after hours to get my color right. Not only does she have the knowledge and experience, but she has such a warm personality and is so easy to talk to. She truly loves what she does and never complained once about how long my hair took to color. All I was looking for was a stylist that could color my hair the way I wanted it who treated me with respect. It's so difficult to find the whole package and SHE'S IT! The ratings on here are true. Wanda is genuine and does not give prizes for her ratings. It comes from people who truly appreciate her work. Thanks Wanda! You really made my weekend!

I Miss You Wanda!

Well it took me two months to find someone to do my nails, so there is nooooo way I would have someone do my hair while I am living in Dubai.

I have lived in San Diego, Chicago, Austin, Corpus Christi and now Dubai and no one has ever done my hair as well as Wanda!

So, I am on my way back for a visit and I will see you Wanda for a color.

Love,
Kelly H -.............A faithful client

If your looking for a great hairstyle and a highly trained individual to do it, then look no further than Wanda @ Adolfo's Salon! From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave, Wanda puts you right @ ease. I was amazed at her professionalism and her skill. My sister, who is hard to please, left with a huge smile on her face! It was the best experience that my sister and I have ever had @ a hair salon! Thanks to you Wanda, we've both received great reviews on our new styles!!! Your the best and we love you!!!  See you soon for color and highlights!..... Christina and Valerie ...CC Tx...(refered by localyellowpages.com)


Meeting Wanda was just wonderful. I met her about 3 years ago through my daughter (who also sees her). She has always been very professional and caring, infact she's the ONLY person that I trust with my haircolor and eyebrows. I have always been afraid of coloring my hair but Wanda just has that beautiful way of encouraging  me to do a little different "something". I just love her. Thanks Wanda!...........Mary Jane H. - Corpus Christi, Tx.

Hi, Wanda!
I just wanted to say how much I am LOVING my hair again after it has been through so much over the past year.  I am so blessed to have found you.  You are doing a wonderful job with my hair- I LOVE the color and how much healthier it is for my hair and no more hot roots!! Yeah!!!  I can't wait to try the "sparkling" some time this summer!.....Teri M.....Corpus Christi Tx. (refered by website)

Several months ago, I got my hair cut by a woman my best friend and I have now nicknamed "The Butcher". It was one of the worst haircuts of my life. My hair looked like I'd stuck it into a paper shredder. Then a friend told me about Wanda. I checked out her site, read her testimonials, and decided to make an appointment. Best decision I've made in months. Wanda is exactly as others have described her: a fantastic listener, warm, encouraging, and insanely savvy. She took one look at my hair and knew exactly what to do. I'm a small business owner. I work 16 hours a day, have a tremendous stress load, and can't remember the last time I felt pretty. But when Wanda was done with my hair, I felt GORGEOUS. And human again. She transformed my hair from shredder to svelte in two hours. An appointment with her is worth any price. ...........Kelli S.  ( new referral)  C.C Tx.

"I remember, about a year ago my hair had a bad reaction to a certain red dye. I woke up with hot pink hair. I was horrified! My best friend immediately told me that if anyone could repair and restore my hair Wanda could. She fixed my hair and the color was gorgeous. I still see Wanda for all my hair needs!"
-Angie D.

"My experience with Wanda has been exceptional. She always knows how to please appearance. In July of 2005, I went to Wanda with an orange hair color and brassy highlights and she fixed my look completely. She helped me go with blonde highlights, a dark brunette hair color and has given me great haircuts/styles. I will always be with Wanda because she is a wonderful hairstylist. I have been through many hairstylists and have ended up crying because of the turn out. Wanda makes sure to let me know what she is doing at every moment so that I am satisfied. I have never regretted in the last 2 1/2 years what Wanda has done with my hair. Her suggestions are always great and honest. She will always have my business and I will continue to recommend all of my friends family to her."

"Wanda was an employee of David Broadway Salon and Day Spa. She was a Hair Color Specialist at the time of her resignation. The first year of her employment was spent receiving advanced hair color education. She began building her client base in September of 1996. Wanda was a hard working member of our team and will be greatly missed. Connie Roehl."

I have been coming to Wanda for approximately 7 years now. When I came to her for the first time, my previous stylist turned my highlights and color to a red shade. Wanda came to my rescue and fixed my color. I have been with her ever since. She is the best and I would not change hairstylists.
-Melissa S.

I have been coming to Wanda for 3 years now and my color/cut was dead-on! I would never change hairstylists. I flat-out refuse to see anyone else!
-Jennifer D.

Dear Wanda, I have not been back to Corpus since the last time you did my hair! Guess I just need to load up and head that way. My local hairdresser is still using the formula you fixed for me. Said you 'really knew your stuff'. I agree! Take care!"
-Gail
Austin, TX

I have baby fine hair and was told by my previous stylist that I could do nothing with my hair but get a 'perm'. Wanda was the first hairstylist to give me options. She tries new cuts, she highlights my hair and is always giving me choices I had never even entertained before. For the first time ever, I have 'fun' with my hair. Wanda is a true professional and a trusted friend.
Love,
-Amy V.

Wanda has been doing my hair for close to 10 yrs. now. I won't let anyone else touch it! I love to try new colors and Wanda is 'the best!' LOVE your hair again give her a call!
-Cheryl T.

Wanda is beautiful and she makes me feel beautiful too. She is an artist and healer. I love her and look forward to my visit with her when I am in the area every year. She does the best cuts on my fine hair and I travel a lot but no one cuts my hair like she does with that magic touch she has.
Thanks Wanda,
-Mary Ann

My hair is straight and fine. I couldn't do anything with it. The color of my hair could only be called mousy blonde. I had always had so much trouble at the beauty salons, they always cut it too short-But then I found Wanda at Adolfo's and 'wow' now I love the length, color and manageability of my hair....
-Rita H.
(Corpus Christi, TX)

Wow, what a fabulous change Wanda has helped me achieve! I now have a trendy and professional style that has many benefits. I also can't believe how my hair color works so well with different cuts. No more ponytails and loving it!
-Lisa R.
(Ingleside, TX)

The first time I saw Wanda, my hair was light yellow in color and completely damaged from a previous stylist. Wanda had me come in right away, she not only corrected my color and cut, she restored my self-confidence. Now almost 4 years later, I continue to see her and would not trust my hair to anyone else.
-Georgy K. Corpus

Three years ago, when a home color job went horribly wrong and I ended up with a very brassy blonde color, I went to see Wanda hoping to save my hair, and she did! Ever since then I have had Wanda cut and color my hair.
-Cassidy B.
(C.C, TX)

O MY GOSH I LOVE MY HAIR! Girl, you did an incredible job on me. I look like a totally new person;and it feels so good. It's brightened up my whole psyche. I love this new technique and the blend of colors you chose are so awesome for my skintone. I'm serious, please write down exactly what you did cuz this is what I want forever! Thank you so much. The extra time and attention you took to make this cut perfect is really paying off big for me. I have never been able to deal with my hair this well. Usually it looks great at the salon and the next day when I go to style it myself sort of leaves me feeling a little let-down because I can never make it look that great again. But this cut is absolutely right on perfect! I love it. Thank you SO MUCH (P.S- this is no exaggeration,I mean every word)

Wanda Teaches You How to Take Care of Your Hair
To get more insight on Wanda at Adolfo Salon visit: 

My Hair used to be really long(down to my butt!).Not because I preferred long hair,but because I never liked the way anyone cut it and every time I used to have my highlights done,I'd go home crying,wait for it to grow out and fade some(much the same reaction as getting a haircut).So it would be a couple of years before I would brave it again.I'd call friends to see who they had been going to, get an apptmnt. and the cycle would start all over again. But since the first time Wanda did my highlights,I can now say I have a hairstylist. I go to the same person to get my hair done all the time! And more than that- I let her do whatever she wants to my hair without being the least bit nervous.FINALLY! Someone I can TRUST (one of a girl's most assets to!). My hair!I get highlights, haircuts and no more tears! Now I'm the person telling people who does MY hair! I even followed her when she left the previous salon she was at to come here!(That's how long we've been together!) Oh yeah,my hair hasn't been to my butt for awhile now, and I just got it cut again! I love it! I love Wanda! You will too!.........Dalaina W.- Corpus Christi,Tx.

Wanda is Wonderful!

I am very picky about who does my hair. I moved to the Corpus area in 1990 and traveled to San Antonio every 6 weeks to have my hair highlighted and trimmed. I didn't even try to find a new hairdresser because I loved the one I had in San Antonio. Then through a friend I met a CC hairdresser who I stayed with for 7 years. I was very happy with her, but I knew Wanda so decided I would give her a try. This has turned out to be a great decision. My hair color is even better than it was and I told her to just do what she thought best. After the coloring, she had my trust so I found a couple of cute hairstyles and asked her opinion. She gave the thumbs up and I'm very happy with my sassy new style. If you're in the market for a stylist who's up on all the latest color and cut techniques, give Wanda a try. I predict you will be very happy.

Wanda is amazing, she takes the time to listen to what you want and really has great ideas. My highlights are awesome. I cant say enough about how wonderful and professional Wanda is. - Heather  (Corpus Christi, Tx.) 


Well, this is how Wanda & I met....a little over 10yrs. ago, I needed to get my hair colored and my husband refered me to this OTHER girl at the same salon Wanda was at (different location at that time)who was cutting his hair. He booked an appt. for me ...we traveled almost 2 hrs. for my appt. ....walked into the salon and this GIRL looked at me and paused....looked at her watch and looked at this girl standing behind us and said "I probley won't have time"....but she colors hair and she can help you....I looked at her and I honestly wanted to walk out..She made me feel like I wasn't what SHE expected...so I didn't even take a look at this girl behind me.....I turned and introduced myself because the other girl was very rude. I told Wanda "make my haircolor look natural"....so she did and I have been going to Wanda ever since and as I get older, she makes me look 10yrs. younger.....like they say....THINGS HAPPEN FOR REASONS.....and I can now say I am happy the other girl was rude because then I would have never had the chance to meet Wanda........she is the greatest haircolorist and I recommend her to anyone, any age or gender. Wanda is the greatest friend and haircolorist. She makes you feel right at home and she STILL makes me look 10yrs. Younger..... Jo Ann- Premont Tx. 

 

On a scale from 1-5 Wanda gets a 5+++ rating from me!! What can I say- other than she is absolutely fabulous! She is not only extremely talented, but she is also blessed with an extraordinary gift. When she sees a client, she has a vision & carries it out in her work. I had wonderful experiences with her! The first time, I said "do whatever you have been telling me you envision for my hi-lites & my cut!" & the process was magical! My color was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined- she used hi-lites & low lites & blended 3 beautiful colors with a technique called ribboning. The cut was like nothing I had ever experienced- I had long straight hair & wanted some layers & movement, so she did a razor cut (no scissors!) & it was so easy to fix-- just wash & dry & go!! And I had body & movement to my hair! In fact, the cut worked so well, I did not even HAVE to dry it for it to work!! The Wanda Experience is one that you should not miss out on! She is an absolute delight to be around and makes it so much fun! I have moved out of state, but I plan on going back to Corpus so she can do my hair! Thanks for opening my eyes to a whole new world of hair-- color, cuts & fun!! I love you Wanda!!
