I took my teenage daughter to Wendy and was very, very pleased! My daughter has always struggled with wavy/curly hair that never looked well kept. She could straighten it but that was causing a lot of damage to her hair. We were really frustrated and didn't know what to do.
We went in for an appointment with Wendy and she was wonderful!! She took her time and listened to our concerns and to what my daughter was wanting. She told us about the DevaCurl products and demonstrated to my daughter how to use them. We were amazed at how easy it was and how good it made her hair look!! This was a couple of months ago and we are still amazed daily at what an improvement it has made in my daughter's hair. It emphasizes the curls and keeps her hair from being frizzy and fly away.
I would recommend Wendy to everyone. She really knows how to work with curly hair.

I came in with some pretty bad locks, a mix of curls and damaged hair from over straightening. While she did clean up some of the rats nest, I feel like she didn't listen to me at all. I specifically asked for layers and to thin out my hair especially focusing on some pretty heavy problem areas in my hair and I asked her to frame my face. My hair was fairly short as is, I admitted to her that she didn't have much length to work with, but that I wasn't willing to go too much shorter, especially in the back, and that I mainly wanted her to focus on thinning it out and re-shaping to my face.now I look like I have a brown dandilion puffball on my head. When she asked me how it looked, after the dry cut and before the wash, I told her it still felt heavy, and looked like it needed to be thinned; she responded by saying it would calm down after it was wet, and did not even attempt to thin any part of my hair, let alone the problem areas that I spoke with her at least twice about. All I felt that she did was cut off the ends all around my hair, she spent no time sculpying/cutting my hair to match my face. After I let the hair sit a while and go through another wash and dry, I found my hair to be boxy and un-even, one side being noticably short than the other. She did go over some styling tips but overall I felt like I was an inconvenence to her and felt rushed through the cut. Totally not worth the 55 dollars, now I wish I had not given her a 10 dollar tip. My last stylist ,before she moved ;(, took the time to make sure I was getting what I paid for. I like hair dressers who explain what they are doing and let me see what they are doing in the mirror during most of the cut. She didn't even offer a mirror to check the back when she was done.This is one very unhappy curly lady, just another bad cut to add to the long list....back to the straightener I go until the hair grows out. Bummer :(

I received a call for an interview and decided to I wanted to get my Devacut to look my best for it. I had sent Wendy a text a few weeks prior and decided to send her another in hopes that I could get a last minute appointment on a Friday(I sent the text at 8am in the morning, telling her that I had work at 3pm and if there was an appointment in between that time that I could snag, haha >.<). She sent me a text about 20 minutes later saying that she had a 12:30 appointment available which I was stoked about! Being someone who hates talking on the phone, Texting was so much more relaxing and convenient for me.
Anywho, Her salon is located in an outdoor shopping mall across the street from Half Priced Books. Wendy was super nice and very knowledgeable! She uses Divacurl products(which I had never used before but was highly impressed by the results). Her cut thickened my curls, and gave me more volume :D! I am very happy with my Devacut, not to mention she gave me discount(I have fine hair so it doesn't take too long to cut/style) and you she also offers more discounts on her Facebook page! Wendy's prices were 50% cheaper than the other salons I looked at in the area, so more discounts made me feel even more happier with my cut! So I gave her a 30% tip seeing as that was how much I was expecting to pay anyway.
She never tried to sell a product to me. She explained exactly what she was putting in my hair and why. She gave tons of discounts and gave me extra cards for discounts on my next haircut and referral discount cards I could pass along to my friends!
Overall, very pleased and I will return to Wendy Sumbera again in the future. :) Thank you, Wendy!

I found Wendy through reviews on this site. All I can say is WOW. She is amazing, informative and doesn't hit you with a sales pitch on products at the end of your visit. She talkes you through the styling so you can do it yourself. I am in love with my new cut. Would recommend her to ANY curly girl. THANK YOU WENDY!!!!

Wendy is the best hair stylist I've ever been to, hands down. She does a fantastic job cutting my naturally curly hair and really listens to what I ask. She is a master with color and has always come through with great results. She is also one of the kindest, most down-to-earth people you could meet. She takes GREAT care of her clients and goes out of her way to make the experience special. If you haven't already, RUN don't walk to Windy, and you'll be so glad you did! :)

I just got the BEST haircut of my life here! I have fine, blonde, very curly hair and typically have very poor hair cutting experiences because stylists just don't "get" my hair. Wendy did a dry cut on my hair which gave her the ability to pay attention to all the variations in my hair's curliness. She gave me layers that helped put volume in the right places and NOT in the wrong ones. She gave me lots of tips about caring for and styling my hair. When I walked out of the salon, my hair looked amazing and I was fully prepared to style it myself. Even though she is out in Cedar Park, she is definitely worth the drive from Austin. If you're curly, GO SEE HER!
