They prefer appointments, but will take walk-ins (be mindful that priority will always go to appointment clients) I wanted to do a walk in, but ended up setting a same day appointment, only 2 hours after I made the call, so it a doable wait time. I ate lunch and had a nap before coming in, so it was already leading up to a nice chill day. My stylist was an older lady, and she was very pleasant, quick nimble with the scissors and mostly styled my hair with just her hands (I have natural waves) and used very little product. And my hair turned out better than I expected. I basically got a wolf cut with soft layers. As we talked, I found out she's had a collective of over 30 years experience cutting hair both abroad and here In the states. I can really appreciate the service she gave along with her pleasant demeanor during the whole experience I had. My husband ended up going there to get his hair cut a few days later...and I was happy with what they did to his hair as well. Very clean and styled in a way that suits his face and head shape. Not just a cookie cutter hairstyle that looks the same on everyone. This one really flattered his specific look and personality. The only downside is parking on a busy day, the lot is small and right up near a busy street. So I understand why they encourage appointments, to keep the parking lot from being crowded. So it seems like they already put some consideration into setting up a good experience for their clientele. I look forward to visiting them again in the future for a color job I want to try. All I wanted this time around was a wash, cut and style and it was decently priced and professionally done in a relatively short amount of time. Always tip your stylist, especially if you can't stop smiling at what a great job they did. thanks for the amazing service!

On top of that, she gives the best shampoo ever -- so relaxing it feels like a mini spa moment. You never feel rushed, and the attention to detail really shows in her work. If you're looking for a stylist who consistently delivers and truly cares about her clients, Dawn is it. Highly recommend!

Finding a hair stylist that you trust with your hair is HARD, but finding Keely was the best thing…read morethat ever happened to my hair!! I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about Keely, I recommend her to everyone I know!! Keely has been my stylist for the last 4 years, and as someone who is super picky about my blonde, she absolutely nails it every single time. Even after all this time, she still takes the time to do a full consultation (plus the best mini therapy session). Not only does she listen to me yapp about my life while we drink insanely good coffee and casually drop first & last names in the chair, but she also gives me the best hair advise and truly listens to exactly what I want. Somehow my hair looks even better after every single appointment. My blonde has never looked so bright, healthy, and blended perfectly. When I first went to Keely my hair was holding on by a thread, (not even kidding, could barley get a brush through her) now it's the healthiest it's ever been even with bleaching every appointment! Keely will give you your dream color while keeping the integrity of your hair! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also makes every appointment so fun and comfortable. The entire salon has such a welcoming vibe, and the amazing team at AOC constantly hypes you up and compliments your hair throughout the whole process. I always leave feeling confident, happy, and completely pampered. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your hair (and your secrets haha) Keely is your girl!! 1000/10 recommend!!‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thankfully, I found this salon through Google, and the reviews truly do it justice. Ana is an incredibly talented and charismatic stylist. She completely saved my hair from what felt like a disaster. She clearly knows exactly what she's doing and takes the time to explain everything, which made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the appointment. I left the salon genuinely happy with the result. Because of my job, I'm constantly traveling, but whenever I'm back in Norfolk, VA, or nearby and it's time for a trim, I'll definitely be coming back to Ana. Highly recommend!

I had went in on a Friday at 6pm and we both didn't leave the salon until 1am because of the process and how much hair I have!!

My hair is exactly what I wanted, and she made sure to make it happen even if it took 7 hours . This salon is by far the best salon I have been to in Virginia Beach! Elissa has picked some of the best stylist on her team and give them 10 thumbs up! I have done a color with Kim as well and came out amazing!

They accepted me with my baby and were extremely welcoming and supportive. Jennifer did an amazing job with my hair and showed so much patience, she had a crazy product to work with but gave me an amazing outcome! Tip for this place they are by appointment only so make sure to contact them through their Facebook page to book an appointment. This is a little more time consuming due to not just being able to call for availabilities or just randomly show for a haircut, however the results they give are extremely worth the effort. Would completely recommend!

She takes the time to explain the process, sets realistic expectations, and truly cares about the health of my hair while helping me achieve my goal. What impressed me even more today was watching her remain professional, patient, and kind despite dealing with some challenging and less-than-polite customers. No matter what was happening around her, she stayed focused on her clients and made sure everyone felt taken care of. Dalbe is talented, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I trust her completely with my hair and always leave feeling confident that I'm in good hands. If you're looking for a colorist who combines skill, honesty, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend her.

I came in with long hair and asked for long, rounded layers, emphasizing that I wanted to keep my…read morelength--especially since my hair had finally grown long enough to slick into a bun easily. I made it very clear that I wanted long layers only. Unfortunately, once I got to my car and looked more closely, I realized my shortest layer was cut inches above the base of my neck, while the longest goes past my shoulder blades. Now, I can hardly put my hair in a bun, and the layers are so choppy that someone even asked if I had extensions underneath. I'm honestly devastated--it took so long to grow my hair out, and now it'll take just as long to get back to where I started. I hate how it looks and feels, and I wish my instructions had been better understood.
