    A little before and after shot.

    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.

    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!!

    If you want a great and professional experience, book your appointment with Jacqui. She is a pro at what she does . She loves what she does and I trust her with my long thick hair always. She is a whiz at Balayage too! Great experience alway.

    I am never disappointed after a trip to #AquilanoSalon. With summer almost in full swing it, it was time for me to lighten up a little bit. #jv_hairstylist always knows exactly what to do and leaves me walking out of the salon feeling like a million bucks! I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Jackie or one of their stylists - everyone always looks great walking out and I can tell is excited to be there! #Selfie #GoodHair

    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.

    I got my hair done with Alexa twice and it was g r e a t!!!! She seems to know exactly what I want when I try to describe the colors and tones I want. I'm excited to come back!

    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)

    Before

    Found @enhancedbyalexa on IG and was amazed by my gorgeous hair transformation. I cannot believe what I looked like from the back before. Alexa gave me a fresh cut and deep brown balayage. I've gotten sooooooo many compliments and feel beautiful!!!!

    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!

    Gabriella M.

    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 ‍

    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.

    I'm glad I found Jacky to do my hair how I like it, after trying so many salons in this area. #jv_hairstylist #aquilanosalon

    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!

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.

I have been a client of the Salon for four years and continue to be completely satisfied and amazed of the results! Kris continues to study to perfect her craft!

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!
