Wave Lengths Salon and Day Spa on Upper Main Street in Edgartown. Founded in 1989, Wave Lengths has a plethora of health and beauty services and treatments.

If you’re in need of an up¬do for a formal occasion, Wave Lengths offers special consulting for designing hairstyles.

The sign by the front door gives you two options; follow the arrow pointed outside towards the “Real World,” or allow yourself to be pointed in the direction of the “Vineyard.” Choose the latter, and you’ll find yourself immersed in a playground of color, not unlike the blooming hydran-geas that dominate the lawns of nearby vacation homes. From brilliant white and subdued pink to vivid blues, greens, and a signature soft purple, the garden that flourishes inside the familiar Soft as a Grape storefront is a completely unique collection of all things Vineyard. However, you won’t find any flowers here; comfort is the name of the game and their stock of sweatpants, tees, hats, and sweatshirts certainly delivers.
