Old Town Alexandria, VA - I've been to many hair salons in my life and this is my favorite. Everyone here is completely kind and my stylist and hair cutter extraordinaire always makes me feel beautiful from start to finish. Upon entering you will find a modern salon with a little bit of an Asian flair in decor. Very clean and calming. I guarantee you will be greeted with a smile, an offer to store your coat and a drink if you like. The waiting area is clean and neat and features a coffee machine and a refrigerator with a selection of refreshing drinks. Honestly I've never waited long because appointments run on time. Next is the hair wash station where I'm always soaped up with lovely scented shampoo that suits my hair type. And there's the heavenly head massage. I could sit there all day! I have short hair and Kevin is an expert at this kind of cut. Love the way he flips the scissors as he works. I've also seen some great color work and he's got many customers with long beautiful haircuts as well. Payment at the front desk is super easy. All the stylists and shampoo artists take cash or Venmo for tips. I highly recommend Aquilano salon. read more

Such a lovely salon! I came here after a less than pleasant experience at another nearby salon that left my hair a bit choppy and crazy looking. Susie is a wonderful stylist and spends time to really listen to what it is that you want, and everyone here is super helpful and kind. Plus my hair looks great and is growing nicely thanks to Susie's great cuts. Love coming in here. read more

The whole salon has a great vibe--clean, professional, and welcoming. John is incredible! Super talented, friendly, and really listens to what you want.. Highly recommend! read more

This was my first time going to Aquilano spa. I was promptly greeted upon my arrival and offered a complimentary beverage...coffee, tea, water or wine. I of course went with the glass of wine :) Margaret took me upstairs to start my color processing. I wanted to cover up my outgrown balayage with an all over darker color. She pulled out a booklet of hair swatches so that I could pick out the color I wanted. She did let me know that it would be an additional $20 because of the color correction. I greatly appreciated this because I have been to salons where they were not upfront with price increases for things like hair length or extra toner. Then at the end they would hit you with some outrageous bill that exceeded the original quote..so I really like that Margaret checked with me first. She did a great job and the little head massage was amazing. Overall I was very pleased with her work and would definitely go back. read more

Jacquelin is the MOST AMAZING hair stylist out there. I can't say enough great things about her. I've been going to Aquilano for years and wouldn't dream of seeing anyone else. I started with just haircuts then moved to balayage. And she knew exactly what would look best and what to do when I showed her random video ideas. Thank you Jackie!! read more

I've been going to Jackie at Aquilano for a few years now and I love her! She's taken me from brown, to blonde, and recently to red! I definitely recommend going to her for balayage, especially if you have thick hair. It also helps that she's very down to earth and easy to talk to, as well. read more

This cute townhouse location has friendly staff, is very clean, and has water coffee tea and free wine! April is the best colorist I've ever had!! She's been doing my hair for about 5 years (i changed to Aquilano because she changed to this salon) and I have never been disappointed! I moved to Florida 2 years ago and let someone do my hair down there and they really damaged it so now I make the trip back to VA because April is amazing. She's also super understanding. Don't want to have a super chatty convo? Just let her know! Sometimes I feel like hair people want to be therapists and it's nice that she can do that, or just let you relax. Don't get me wrong, she is sooo good at getting to know you haha but if you just want to get a service and not chat, she is very understanding. I have super thin hair so it can be tricky to cut and especially color blonde! She does baby highlights for me and I love them. She gives me great dimension. She's used multiple techniques and I always leave so happy and feeling my best (plus love the compliments) read more

I've been in the DMV for 2 years, so it's safe to say I've been around the block a couple of times trying to find a good stylist. Luckily I landed upon Aquilano Salon and when I dug a bit deeper into their website, I found Alexa's IG. Her work is amazing and I'm never disappointed! She always follows my leads and listens to my inspo & what I'm trying to accomplish. If you need a stylist in the DMV, Alexa is your girl! read more

Hey guys! So Alexa is the the best with color and cuts! I used to use her when she was still living in sunny Florida but I miss her! She slays color in any way possible! She's the most friendliest, caring, personable and reliable artist when it comes down to hair! If you want to have some fun, educated conversations and still have a great time in the salon then hit up Alexa because she'll take care of you no matter what! Please go see her! If I could still use her I would but that would require a plane trip lol! Again if you're in the DC area give my girl Alexa a call and she will be gladly to turn your next hair style into the one everyone is talking about ! Again Alexa is an ‍ read more

I've been here twice for haircuts and the service has been really friendly and great each time. I always see Jackie for my haircuts and she really takes the time to listen to me and then cuts my hair exactly the way I want it. She's also a pleasure to talk to and super nice. The staff that works at the shampoo stations are awesome as well. Overall it's just a really nice and chill salon with great service. I'll be back to color my hair and get my quarterly haircuts :) read more

I stumbled into Alexa's IG and was amazed by her work. I quickly scheduled an appointment with her at Aquilano Salon. I have very dark straight hair and wanted something different that would fit my skin tone. Alexa was amazing at hearing my concerns and providing her honest recommendations. We did a balayage and cut. My hair came our amazing! I couldn't have had a better stylist do my hair. I've gotten so many compliments and feel amazing. If you go to Aquilano make sure to ask for Alexa or schedule ahead with her...you will not regret it. See pictures and how dark my hair was! She did amazing and my hair feels so healthy and with life. read more

Thank goodness for Alexa! Just like the Amazon Alexa, she also has all the answers! I love her work because she always delivers exactly what you envision and my hair has never been healthier. Mind you, I went from BLACK to honey, brunette-blonde, and a color melt and I never experienced breakage, loss of moisture or anything. If you haven't been on her chair, GET IT NOW! read more

I was able to get an appointment easily, liked my stylist, and thought the price was right.

I'm in town visiting my mom for the holidays and went on Yelp to find a salon within walking distance to her place. I went with Aquilano based on all of the great reviews, and now I am joining them! Jackie gave me a beautiful cut and style yesterday and I highly recommend her! She's considered "new talent" but I honestly don't think she'll be in this category for long. She's easy to talk to, kind, considerate, and really listens to what you want. I gave her some direction, showed her a photo or two, and she got it perfectly. I also really appreciated her going more conservative while cutting my bangs and gave me the option to go shorter (you can keep cutting, but can't get back what's already cut!). Thanks so much, Jackie! My mom says she got her hair cut not too long ago, but that she'll be going to you moving forward. PS. The salon is taking all the Covid precautions and I felt safe the entire time! read more

I'm new to the area and I was in desperate need of a new hairstylist. I went to a different salon but didn't quite get the color that I wanted. I found Alexa on Instagram (@enhancedbyalexa) and immediately fell in love with her work. I slid in her DMs and was able to set up an appointment. She's a breathe of fresh air! So easy to talk to and so amazing with what she does! I'm obsessed with what she's done to my hair and I'm looking forward to seeing her again next time! read more

If you have thick/a lot of hair you need to go see Jackie at Aquilano Salon. I've been going to Aquilano for a few years to see Jackie and I've always left super happy! Before finding her I struggled to find people who were patient and knew how to work with a lot of hair. She does amazing work with balayage, and gives great cuts! Very personable, gives good recommendations for products and how to take care of your hair best. I also just trust her to do whatever she thinks will look best with my hair, complexion, and face shape. read more

I was recommended to the stylist Jackie A. By a coworker and, she did not disappoint. She was so nice and responsive to all my questions. During the consultation, I didn't feel rushed and felt like she was addressing all my concerns. I loved the haircut and style she did. I definitely will be back again!! read more

If you're looking for a a trustworthy hair stylist I def recommend Alexa! She did my hair a couple times when she was in South Florida and she always executed exactly what I wanted! She took me darker and then back lighter and it was always blended so beautifully with my natural root color so that the grow out looks seamless!! I've gone now 6 months since she last colored my hair and it still looks BOMB read more

Great service! I got here for my haircuts, toner, and balayages with Jackie. She is an absolute gem who I would highly recommend to anyone new in town looking for a stylist. I can be picky about my hair and have had trouble finding stylists in the past but I found Aquilano on Insta and decided to look into their staff and read reviews. I found Jackie and was able to get an appointment, it's been nearly a year now and she never disappoints. read more

If you are looking for someone who knows colors look no further. After, going to different places they could never get the color I wanted for my hair. Yesterday Jackie did an amazing job on my hair. I HIGHLY recommend her . She takes her time and does not rush with your hair. She pays attention to ever detail. For sure I will be returning back to see her. Great job Jackie!!! I have attached a before and after. read more

I was a first time customer at Aquilano Salon and went to Jackie for a full head of highlights and a cut. If you're looking for a top tier stylist in Alexandria, please take my word for it and look no further. Jackie's prices are extremely affordable for the quality she provides, and she is super sweet and fun to talk to. I don't know how she did it, but my appointment only took about 3 hours, and I have a LOT of hair to highlight. Jackie made everything seem effortless, and I'm amazed at her talent. The salon itself is clean, everyone who interacted with me was very sweet. I will be going to Aquilano to see Jackie for all of my hair needs for the foreseeable future! Tell them Emily sent you. read more

Alexa did my full balayage tonight and she did absolutely AMAZING! She blended in my hair so well and she has such a lovely personality! I found this place by researching a lot and I am glad I came here! I do have to do a shout out to the woman who washed my hair (I don't recall her name) she did such a bomb head massage and washed out my hair without any issues. I have already made my second balayage appt with Alexa in December. I HIGHLY recommend her! Best in old town! read more

April does an amazing job no matter what I want when I come in. It's been 10 years and I'd follow her anywhere for a haircut and color. She always gives me exactly what I want (even when I don't even know what I want). She's so detailed and nails taking weight out of hair and giving me layers and really long bangs that are face framing and melt in color that doesn't even leave my hair feeling like I fried it. I'd go years without a cut if it's not with her! Through the long and short hair phases she's simply the best! read more

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this salon, and in fact two of my closest acquaintances now also go to John Pascazio for their hair styling needs as well--one female and one male. John listens closely, works with you, and always beats expectations. The salon is extremely COVID conscientious, and still manages to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere. Hair product selection is vast and current, but not pushed upon you to purchase. I have always been extremely happy with the services Aquilano provides and give it my highest recommendation. read more
