Here's how my most recent trip to this salon went! I came in…read morea week prior for a consultation to see if someone would be able to do a stark blonde balayage for my hair and was immediately directed to Emma. I made it clear that I had black box dye in my hair a little over a year and a half ago. They said no worries. Cut to a couple days ago, I went in, showed the reference photo again (simple, very dark on top, very blonde on the bottom) and made sure to ask for the blonde to be higher up because I wanted more blonde but to still have dark roots. I explicitly stated to her, "I want it to look like I went fully blonde and it's grown out, but smoother." She nodded and acknowledged me so I know she heard it. I'm thinking she should do a test strand beforehand since I made it clear I had color before but what do I know. I'm not the stylist. I decide to let her do her thing. She got about a quarter of the way through my hair before I was told that the photo example was too old for me which ??? I don't care? Give me what I asked for. Do you think I don't look at my reference pics? I notice that she hasn't put a lot of my hair that should be in foils in them so I ask her about it and get told rather bluntly "don't worry about it". Okay, whatever, she's the "master hairstylist" right. I sit there for a while and eventually she comes back and visibly winces at my hair before moving me to the sink and doing another round of heavy bleach. She hasn't told me what she's doing, or if I want what she's doing to be done. Eventually they come back and she has her assistant rinse me before they begin to brush me out so they can tone me. When I look in the mirror I see stark blonde highlights all the way up to the root. I hate highlights. I was never asked about highlights. After about 20 minutes of her yanking at my scalp (I have actual sore spots all over my head now, though her assistant was lovely and very gentle) she finally slathers the toner in and I'm deciding to trust the process. The assistant washes my hair and I just want to get dried and get out of there so I sit down and she asks if I want layers (my hair is still wet so I don't know what color it is yet) I ask to skip it but she insists we do layers and curls because "it makes the color look so much better". End of haircut - there aren't layers. I'm just missing significantly more hair than I asked to be cut off. Oh also! I'm just as brunette as I went in, except now I have gross orange highlights (my least favorite color AND my least favorite dye job, she hit all the marks!) and I can't stop crying. When I went to the manager she called Emma over who tried to pin the blame on me repeatedly and then lied saying that I said something that I didn't say. When I objected (this was the first time I spoke during this conversation, my mom had been taking to them) she said, incredibly rudely, "well we have cameras". Yeah, pull up the cameras. Let's see you making me lose more hair from yanking on it than the bleach. When we were finally paying and wrapping up she went on about how expensive and top of the line their products were. Pro tip! You would make more money if you used your top of the line products to give your customers what they want. They offered to have me come back in after a few weeks for another lightening treatment but I really don't trust them not to just fry my hair off. If she had just done a test strand and asked if I wanted what she was about to do to me, I could've saved over $300. TLDR: I paid $300 for a blonde balayage, I left still brunette but with ugly orange highlights, bleach damage, and less hair than I've had in a while. Feel free to come here! Just don't expect to leave with what you asked for. Pictures are of the result and the reference photo.

I cannot recommend Hair Xpressions Salon highly enough! I have been going to Najoua for over eight…read moreyears, and she is truly exceptional in every way. Najoua consistently delivers outstanding results--whether it's precision cuts, beautiful color, or smooth, long-lasting Keratin treatments. Her expertise and attention to detail are unmatched, and she always takes the time to ensure everything is perfect. What truly sets her apart, though, is her dedication and care for her clients. She has gone above and beyond for me time and time again--even coming in on her day off and styling my hair at 6:00 a.m. for my retirement ceremony. That level of commitment is rare and speaks volumes about who she is. Even after moving to Colonial Beach, I continue to travel back to Fairfax just to see her--that's how incredible she is. I am beyond grateful for Najoua and the exceptional service she provides. If you are looking for a stylist who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Hair Xpressions Salon. You will not be disappointed!

The place is no frills and it's not fancy but my guy knew was he was doing. I showed him some inspiration photos and he got to work. The whole experience was about an hour from start to finish and I love my new cut. I didn't see any prices and didn't even ask! LOL. Imagine how surprised I was when they told me my cut was only $53! I happily swiped my card and tipped my shampoo lady and guy in cash and walked happily over next door to Ranch 99 to get some lunch.

I thought this was a language barrier situation and that he understood I meant short, straight bangs like the photo. Instead, I walked out with long curtain bangs, nothing like what I asked for. He did check in with me throughout the process, but it was confusing. I explicitly said I wanted my bangs shorter, yet he continued cutting them longer than what I had shown or said. I'm not sure where the communication broke down, but the end result was the opposite of what I asked for. He also asked if I wanted to thin my hair. I didn't know exactly what that meant, but he said it would look better. I hesitated, but when he suggested "just a little," I agreed. Unfortunately, he thinned out so much that now I have tons of short, frizzy pieces sticking out everywhere. Again, nothing like the photo I showed. It will take years to grow my hair out to fix this. On top of that, he didn't check my face before sending me out the door. I left the salon with tiny shredded hairs stuck all over my face, like I had just walked through a hair storm. I told him explicitly what I wanted, but the haircut I received was completely different. I went in for regular bangs and long layers and left with super long curtain bangs and thinned-out hair.
