    Great natural hair salon. Stephanie hooked me up for a very reasonable price and an extremely cute look. Definitely will be back in the next two weeks for a new do ‍.

    The owner is very nice. Some stylist a bit pricey but do very nice work. We've used two people and liked them both.

    VEL is an exquisite hair master! She's attentive and detailed oriented. Every Pin curl and wave in place. Vel takes the time to listen to your hair preferences and execute them with such precision. She cares about her clients. I founded Vel online via Yelp, viewed her client's hairstyles and their five* reviews. Immediately I was impressed. I booked my appointment online around 2 am and by 11 am the same day (Monday)!, I was sitting in her salon chair. She was prompted, on time, and no wait. Vel listened to me and delivered it! Vel is very flexible with appointment scheduling. Sunday appointments I love... Fresh, professional look for the start of my work week...... Thursday or Friday evening to look chic, for my happy hour with friends. Everyone is amiable, accommodating, and pleasant in her salon. Her salon is conveniently located within the beltway. Free parking! Since coming to Vel, I feel better about myself because my Hair Styles are Always on Point!

    I absolutely love my stylist, Iye is the greatest. She's very attentive and professional. My hair is gorgeous.. Ms. Cindy is a sweetheart. Fred is a hoot great barber. Marquis does his thang baby. Val has it poppin' Bottom line this Salon deserves 5 stars for the shining stars that keep your hair beautiful and healthy. Come by, check them out.. Come on

    Nsa is a fabulous stylist. She is very knowledgeable about all hair types.She is always accessible and can work me in. She will even come in on her day off. I really love that she is open on Sunday. I have a short cut and again....she is just fabulous! My hair is relaxed but my daughter's is natural and she did a fabulous cut on her and it is sooo healthy.

    Angels Institute, LLC was previously Angels Salon. They're finally up on Yelp and I'll go ahead and describe my experiences. This is a salon for African American hair, therefore you will see mainly African American clientele. Fear not, there have been plenty of people of all races come into their shop because at the end of the day you want to step out of a salon feeling fresh. For starters, lets start with parking -- it can be a pain if you come during the weekday because there are other shops there so you may find yourself circling the parking lot for a bit. If you can't find a space there is a lot right next to it for overflow. DO NOT create your own parking space because your car WILL NOT be there when you get out. You will always be greeted in a friendly manner. I would suggest calling ahead if have never been to the salon before so you can get a consultation and speak with the Stylists. Cindy & Nasira own the business so it would probably behoove you to call them if it's your first time. They will help you figure out something that's best for your type of hair, the condition of your hair, and the texture. They'll do their best to accommodate you but please don't make any ridiculous statements or any asinine requests for your hair. I will probably look at you like you're an idiot and deep down you feel it too -- so please don't. I've had these ladies do my hair since I was a kid and they've seen my hair when it's truly glamorous and times where ...well, lets just say I needed help. I've had Cindy, Nasira, & Kalena do my hair and they've always helped me -- even when I've come in on short notice (as in calling them 2 minutes away saying heyyy im hereeee). They've also got some kick a** barbers if you're one of those men that can't cut their own hair. The prices here for your hair are EXTREMELY competitive -- as in, I haven't been to any other place where I've gotten this great of a deal and keeping your hair looking fly is NOT cheap! Overall, this is a great place if you are looking for a place to get your hair done and I know trying to find a place can be stressful but consider this one place you should go to. If you're new in the area - thank yelp, and of course me for recommending you. :-) This is also a great place for ladies to leave the kids at home (with or without their fathers (depending on your circumstance) or leave your fiance at home with the pets so they can spend some quality time together while YOU enjoy good conversation in a casual atmosphere. Let's face it ladies - we need it. This is a lengthy review but I think I got my point across -- you'll leave here looking fly. Oh, please don't add to the Saturday Customer base if you can get your hair done on the weekday. Mondays & Wednesdays (discount days) & Fridays are my pics for best days to get in and out.

    This is an amazing salon! It's a very clean and professional setting. All the stylist here do amazing work from braids, sew-ins, natural styles, relaxed styles, haircuts, and so much more. The color and style of the shop is aesthetically pleasing and the shop is very serene. There is a barbershop in there as well. My experience here has been amazing and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

    This was my first time at Heather Squires hair and I saw Abby as Heather was booked. I'm glad I…read moredid! She was amazing. After years of going to over priced and average to really poor hair cut or highlight experiences in Alexandria, I spent some time to look at reviews and selected Health Squires. Abby is new to the salon, but she knows what she is doing. She was really welcoming and listened to what I wanted and did not want. She made recommendations for color highlights and I felt comfortable in her guidance. She took her time to get to know me and my lifestyle (hair maintenance program too!) and made the right recommendations. My hair turned out amazing. She was creative and cut my hair for a refresh look. The salon is clean and nice and I felt relaxed and comfortable. Good vibe! A big change from a well known North Old Town studio where the stylist did not ask me one question, had a mean glare on her face the whole time and overcharged me for a simple cut. I will most certainly be back to see Abby!

I've seen Kris for about the past year for blowouts and makeup applications for a variety of events, photo shoots and theater performances. Kris listens carefully to the service you want. Whenever I've shown reference photos, she re-creates them flawlessly. With makeup, I love the lash application she includes and the long-staying wear of the makeup products she applies. She's also extremely efficient, and after the first visit, she perfected my look and made each subsequent appointment easy, quick and simple. I recently visited for a headshot package she offered, where a professional photographer took new photos in her studio after I received hair and makeup treatment. I really appreciated Kris during the shoot, as she offered tips for posing and even touched up my hair and clothing to help me get the perfect shots. Her vast experience as an editorial stylist and big event artist (weddings, glam, etc.) has really provided her with an expert eye that made the photo shoot even more successful. If you're looking for hair and makeup you can trust to look great, I'd highly recommend Kris in Alexandria.

    Update (12/2019): I'm still a faithful patron of WispSalon…read moreand cannot recommend Sue Scott enough. She is a master colorist, stays up-to-date on industry trends & techniques and is an all around lovely person. My tip: Make your appointments well in advance. I schedule mine up to a year out. She's highly in demand (that's what I want in a stylist!) and weekends fill up fast. Original review (2016): Sue Scott is amazing with hair, both color and styling. She gave me a balayage of caramel and mocha colors and I've never been so happy with getting color. Then I showed her images of 40s style curls that I'd been trying to accomplish at home. She gave me a great tutorial as she styled my hair, and I though this really went the extra mile. I've been able to replicate it at home, which is what I think we all want to be able to do after we leave the salon. I also felt like Sue really listened to what I wanted. I like to have flexibility to air dry (natural waves), straighten or curl and wanted a cut that would be versatile. I've tried all three since I got my cut last week and I'm very pleased with the results. In the salon, she's really easy to talk to and has a really positive attitude. I think the best way to get an idea of someone's work is to see it. Sue posts almost daily to her Instagram (@wispsalonalexandria), so if you are trying to make a decision on if her style would work for you, this is a good place to start. She also uses online appointment booking, which I prefer. Highly recommend!
