She even fit me in on a Sunday when she normally doesn't work because I told her how badly I needed my extensions done. That alone meant so much, especially since she's booked out until summer She spent over 9 hours on my hair and never rushed a single step. I came in needing a serious color correction, and she nailed it perfectly. The color came out even better than I imagined. She also did a smoothing treatment and installed my extensions flawlessly. What really stood out is how much she cares. She walked me through a home routine to keep my hair as healthy as possible, which I really appreciated. It was a full, all-day experience, and she handled everything like the seasoned professional she is. I am so glad I found her and will absolutely be back

I assumed that any hair stylist would be able to do this so I just booked with the first available person. When I got there, the woman who was available half-heartedly tried to put up my hair with no prep and like 5 bobby pins. Then, she asked to use my my hair scrunchie! I told her that she had done was not what I wanted. She said that she couldn't do it, then asked another stylist if she would do it. I was really nervous at that point because I had about two hours until my event. I waited about 40 mins, but it was worth it! Lalani have me a beautiful updo that lasted all evening. I am so glad that I waited! BTW, while I waited I watched her give a woman a silk press and it looked gorgeous. Long story short - if you go there, make sure you book with Lalani!

Five minutes late probably not such a big deal in most cases, but I had been early so that I wouldn't be late when I entered the store. I smelled smoke on her so I knew she had gone to have a cigarette and that's why she was late opening. She asked me what I wanted done. I told her a trim only after the complementary shampoo and conditioner. I had to show her using my hair that I only wanted a quarter of an inch taken off. She did comply and it only took five minutes to trim my hair when it was time to pay, she charged me $40 $40 for five minutes to trim my hair you may say well she did shampoo and condition. This is true, but that's complementary. I am not a happy Customer.

The first salon I found wanted over $600 for just a style and gloss. The gasp I gusped. I walked out of Salon deZen for literally hundreds less than that, with a fast and fabulous cut from Mariah customized to my needs (after a very helpful consultation), along with a demi-permanent teal gloss on my previously highlighted hair, AND a truly gorgeous laminated brow and Korean lash lift from Caroline. Mariah gave me a hair style that requires minimal maintenance, but has tons of movement and versatility and a color that made me smile so hard it hurt. Caroline somehow made my DISTANTLY related eyebrows look like sisters instead of estranged second cousins. She also gave me a bottle of oil with a spoolie for lash and brow aftercare that made such a difference in the hair texture after processing. Together, they've streamlined my beauty routine and gave me such a lift for Spring! My shampoo and blow out was done by a really sweet and capable person whose name regrettably escapes me, but who had me leaving looking flyyyyy. The whole place has a relaxed, spa like vibe, with really friendly staff. It was a great experience and I highly recommend you get in where you fit in!

To be honest, I dread going into the salon for hair cuts because I'm insecure about some hair thinning that I have. This experience was so amazing though, I'm actually looking forward to going back again!! I am not exaggerating when I say that Gretchen gave me the best haircut of my life. She is the only person who has ever cut my bangs perfectly, in a way that I love. I deserve this (her haircut) Also, when she washed my hair, she offered me an essential oil towel around my shoulders and a head massage. I think those played a role in helping me feel relaxed and happy in a salon setting. It made a positive difference for me in an emotional way! Please go to this location and ask for Gretchen! ‍

I recently moved to Arlington, VA from Maryland and for months I've looked everywhere for a hair…read morestylist. For context the stylist I've been to for years is based in Baltimore and with how traffic can get I can't justify spending 40% of my saturday going to Baltimore to get my hair done. So I began the search looking for a new hairstyle salon. Tried Alexandria, Springfield, even Fairfax. But none have provided what I need and certainly not justifiable of the price it commanded. So I tried HairSocial because I found it on Google and I liked I can book online. My hair appointment consists of the following: Wash, Blow Dry, and an undercut. Sometimes I'll get it flat-ironed depending on the occasion. So I booked 4 days in advance and when I arrived for my appointment I had to wait 20 mins after my actual time (for context it was a Sunday afternoon and no one else was in the shop except for one customer). When I was seated I was only given a haircut and nothing else despite asking for a hair wash and a blowout. Considering I had to put a downpayment online to book the appointment I naturally felt bamboozled. They offered to do what I originally asked but they said I had to wait an hour. I didn't have time as I had a family dinner I had to attend so I decided to go home and wash my own hair. Before I left, the front desk offered to refund me on my card and then said no and could only offer me a credit. The credit was tied to my account yet the credit isn't available when you book online you can only access the credit if you call to set up an appointment. Extremely disappointed but the stylist did a great job with my haircut. I'm just disappointed that I didn't get what I paid for at a reasonable time. Thankfully the management of the loc in Tysons Corner set things right and as a result despite this location being closer to me I go out of my way to visit the HairSocial in Tyson's Corner (that review will be coming shortly).

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.

After traveling an hour from DC, I was asked if I could wait two hours bc there were two people ahead of me.

The owner didn't do much except for look around, until I asked her if she could braid down my hair for the wig.

So much attitude was thrown my way, when I was on time for my appointment. Unprofessional.
