This Salon could be in Paris, Beverly Hills, or New York City, but thankfully for the Washington Metropolitan area it is in our back yard. I been a loyal client of the owners for 18 years. And while I enjoyed seeing them before, their new Salon is not only a functional experience, but it is an escape from the hustle and bustle of the Beltway. Krista and Philipe are truly masters at their craft! While they could boast of countless awards and certificates, they are humble and listen to their clients. I have never left their care without feeling ready to face the world. Their staff bend over backwards to ensure your every need and comfort. I am enjoying getting to know their other wonderful stylists, Julie and Ruth, as well as the amazing manicurist, Kathleen, and esthetician, Bonnie. Their manager, Casey, is a talented sweetheart. All of their front desk greeters are as friendly as can be. I am curious about other reviews claiming.product pushing or hair unicorns. That has never been my experience. In fact I often leave forgetting to ask about shampoo, and Krista and Philipe will never let me do something they know I will regret. I can only imagine such clients may not really know what it is they are looking for? Give them another chance, they will help you discover! The Del Ray area is a wonderful breath of fresh air. A true Main Street, it is filled with unique bistros, an amazing butcher, a cheese shop, a gluten free bakery, the Kiskadee boutique, as well as yoga and Pilates studios. Best of all, you don't feel like you are 10 minutes from DC, and there is ample parking! I can only encourage any one to get away to Salon Bisoux, you will walk out feeling beautiful and relaxed. read more

Salon Bisoux sets the standard for service above and beyond amazing. From the moment you arrive, the staff is gracious, hospitable and accommodating. The person at the front desk welcomes you with a warm smile. Another person takes your coat and offers you a beverage - wine, champagne, cappuccino, tea, water - while you wait for your appointment. Next you are escorted to your hair cut, color, manicure, pedicure, even if it's to your stylist's station 10 feet away. Periodically throughout your appointment, someone checks in - would you like another cappuccino? About those cappuccinos: they are made to order, with the right amount of your favorite sweetener and accompanied by a chocolate kiss. At the end of your session, you are once again escorted back to the front desk to check out. Your coat is fetched and held for you while you bundle yourself in. Everyone smiles - genuine smiles not "have a nice day" smiles - as you walk out the door. The entire staff is fabulous. Stylist Roxanna Velez cuts my hair to perfection each time. Sometimes it seems as if she trims each strand individually. Greta Fernandez is the alchemist. She mixes your custom color and applies it with precision. Kathleen Le is the most amazing manicurist I have ever met. She chooses the best color for me, sometimes even mixing up her own special blend. Kathleen is a fanatic for detail and would rather re-do the entire manicure - or pedicure - than have you leave dissatisfied with her craft work. Salon Bisoux is the best salon I have ever been to. Kudos to owners Krista and Phillippe Depeyrot for changing the paradigm of the salon. Merci bien! read more

I cannot recommend April enough! I've been getting my hair colored by her for over three years, and she is truly the only person I trust with my hair. I currently attend college in Pittsburgh, and I literally plan trips home around my appointments with her because she is that good. Not only is April incredibly talented, but her experience and expertise really show in her work. She takes the time to listen, understands exactly what you're looking for, and somehow always manages to make my hair look even better than I imagined. Whether it's maintaining my color or making subtle changes, she consistently delivers beautiful, natural-looking results. Beyond her skill, April is genuinely one of the kindest and most understanding people you'll ever meet. She makes every appointment such a positive experience and genuinely cares about her clients. It's rare to find someone who is both exceptionally talented and such a wonderful person. If you're looking for a colorist who is knowledgeable, experienced, and truly passionate about what she does, book with April Campbell at Salon Bisoux!! If you want to check out some of her work, she has an insta you can follow too (@aprilscolor). Thank you!! P.S. Shoutout to Waleska for literally putting me to sleep every time she washes my hair!! She has the most magic touch I swear and gives the most amazing scalp massages!! read more

I started going to see Krista and Philippe for 2 years. Initially I went to Krista for a color correction and because they were close to my office in DC. I fell in love with both of them and their work. So much so that even though their salon is nowhere near my home or office I choose to see them rather than shop for another salon. Krista is brilliant with color. She is a perfectionist any meticulous with her brush strokes. My hair has a tendency to pull red/orange. However she manages to tone it down and seem natural. I actually received a phone call from a business ad I placed asking where I had my hair cut and colored! Philippe is patient and thorough. He listens and makes gentle recommendations. Based on his advice I nervously tried a keratin blow out and it totally transformed my look. Needless to say I am thrilled with his approach to my crazy curly hair. For the first time this summer I had normal hair at the beach. The staff is super friendly an accommodating. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. The vibe and clientele is friendly many of the patrons talk and nobody feels like a stranger here. read more

A bit of Paris in Del Ray - the salon is little jewel box of modern design but warm and welcoming; every element of the client experience was considered. You'll be greeted warmly, you're accompanied to the change room, and never left to wonder what's next. You're offered cappuccino, cucumber water and/or champagne and shown the way to your colorist or stylist. There's a great laid back vibe to go with all this service. And the colorists & stylists are phenomenal. Krista does my color and Phillipe cuts my hair and I've gotten more compliments since I started coming three months ago than ever before. My friends think I've been on vacation, or lost weight, or something but I tell everyone that the only change in the program is Salon Bisoux. I drive an hour from Columbia, MD for my haircut because the salon is so unique, the cut and color are life changing, simple as that. Just to make things even more wonderful, there's free parking in a lot at the corner of their block. I LOVE this place!!!!! read more

Just like the other reviews on here, Salon Bisoux is amazing! I am kicking myself because I tried to 'cheat' on my girl, Greta, by going to TWO salons closer to me in Reston. That was a mistake and I have wasted crazy money for awful hair when I should have just made the trip to Alexandria to see Greta...even my husband told me I need to just make the trip. If you are looking for THE BEST color/highlights/lowlights EVER, you have to see Greta! Greta has been doing my hair for 10 years now (I have followed her to a couple salons), and she knows how to give you the most natural blonde highlights and lowlights. I'm sure she does amazing with brunettes as well. ..I always get compliments on my color and have several girlfriends that have been seeing her regularly for years as well. She learned her expertise from Krista, the salon owner, who is the best in the biz. Great salon, great people, and they only hire the best. You can't go wrong here! read more

Salon Bisox is the best place I have ever gone to get my hair colored & cut. I always walk in looking like the dog chewed my hair and, walk out feeling and looking like a movie star. The service is wonderful. Krista is a serious colorist. She is very knowledgeable about the different types of hair texture and color. She is always on the cutting edge of the latest developments in the area of coloring hair. Philippe is just a master stylists. He shapes the cut to totally fit your head and needs. Taking time with every snip. Casey the manager always wants feedback on your visit making you feel like you are contributing to their success. They also just obtained a wonderful manicurist Kathleen who gave me a spectacular gel manicure and pedicure. She was comfortable to be with and explained everything very clearly. I recommend this salon to anyone who likes to look in the mirror at five in the afternoon and say yes, my hair and nails look great! read more

Almost a year ago, my stylist/colorist moved from the area after having done my hair for many years. I needed to find a salon in the DC area that offered balayage. I did some research online and went to Krysta for color and Ruth for a haircut. My first appointment proved to be a success. Not only did I leave with better color than I could have ever imagined, the service throughout was amazing. Fun, happy kind employees who ensured I was pleased with the experience and never had me wait! After I left, I never received so many compliments on my cut and color. It grew out very well and I returned a couple months later! The staff is consistently helpful and again, I left happy and feeling beautiful with amazing highlights that look so natural! I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for consistent great work and hair that looks like a million dollars! read more

Krista and Phil have been cutting and coloring my hair for years. I was so happy when they opened Bisoux. They are high end without the superficial feel of high end. The experience is stellar from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave Bisoux. It is one big family, very salt of the earth. Krista knows exactly what I want and NEED with my color every time. She knows when I need to hydrate more and when anything has changed that has been affecting my hair. She is a scientist with color! Phil is a master at hair. He takes his time and knows how to craft my hair. I have never been disappointed!! Salon Bisoux is a perfect fit in Alexandria's Del Ray area!! Very welcoming environment. IF you want a superb cut/style and color there is no other place to go! read more

I'm a longtime client of Salon Bisoux, and am always incredibly pleased with my highlights (by Krista) and my cut (by Philippe). They are truly professionals at the top of their industry, and yet so friendly and easy to work with. The staff members are also so kind and so very skilled as well; it's a great experience to spend time at the salon, and to consistently feel like a valued customer. And I would add that - yes, I live in Atlanta GA, although I travel frequently to DC on business (where I previously lived and first became a Salon Bisoux client). But I make time on my trips to stop at Salon Bisoux because honestly Philippe and Krista are so amazing, and no one else makes my hair look as good. read more

This salon is amazing!!!! Since I moved here two years ago I have been trying to find the right salon...I have been to 5 until I found this place. My hair had broken off after Michelle from Glynn jones in old town colored it and I needed help!!!! I booked an appointment here with Ruth and she did an amazing job!!! She truly made me feel great about my damaged hair and with her recommendations my hair has become so much stronger and is growing!!! I just went back for a second time and met with Patricyja for a color and I can honestly say that this was one of the best coloring jobs ever!!!! Both Ladies are great at what they do and so sweet! It is a great salon with wonderful products and people. :) read more

Kathleen is my girl! She is absolutely amazing. A true angel. She knows her stuff inside and out. I trust her with my nails, waxing, and anything skin-related. I swear she's made me look younger, more vibrant and feel more confident. I've been seeing her for over 2 years now. My nails, eyebrows and skin have been on point ever since! She's a gem. I've never met anyone like her in this industry. She always does a fantastic job, never tries to up-sell you on products or other services. She's sincere and takes her craft seriously. I respect and trust her. SO If you need a gorgeous gel manicure a rejevunating facial, and the best eyebrow wax in town - go see Kathleen! read more

I NEVER write reviews but feel compelled to after reading some of the negative reviews I have seen here. Salon Bisoux is EXCEPTIONAL! I am not trying to take away from the experience of others, but I can tell you the owners are honest and invested in each and every client. You can see this as they respond to each and every negative review. Not many companies do that. They hold high standards for their staff, get to know each and every client, and celebrate special milestones for each client. I LOVE this salon and will be coming here for years to come. Photos of me and a friend should say it all! read more

Visited Salon Bisoux today for cut and color. Was blown away by the friendliness, professionalism and skill. Patrycja did balayage highlights--my first time with that process and the result is beautiful and natural. Julie did my cut and spent plenty of time with me on the front end to understand what I was looking for and lifestyle factors (such as the fact that I refuse to spend more than 10 minutes on my hair each day). I am so happy with the result and the whole experience was enjoyable and welcoming from start to finish. So happy to have this place right in my neighborhood! read more

I have been going to Krista (color) & Philippe (cut) since they ran the Christophe Salon in DC and was thrilled when they decided to open their salon in Alexandria. Needless to say, they are fantastic artists in their craft! The salon is always bustling with activity and the staff are very welcoming to everyone. It's also so bright and clean and I love all the "extras" like any kind of coffee you want, several naturally flavored waters and a lovely little nut mix snack if you're running on empty. Being located in Del Ray makes parking easy too. I highly recommend Salon Bisoux! read more

I highly recommend Salon Bisoux to anyone looking for "the wow factor", Krista & Phillipe have been performing magic on my wife's hair, where other high end local salons have tried but fallen just short for so long. Krista is a true artist with color, and Phillipe is truly one of the most skilled and creative cutters I have ever known. The environment is bright, clean and very cool, and the staff is among the most polite, tuned in and professional you will find. You truly owe yourself this unparalleled beauty experience. It's just that much further to wow...take the step! read more

Coming from NYC I was very happy when I came upon Salon Bisoux. Booked my appointment with Philippe and it was great. I came in for a haircut and was treated with cucumber water, champagne, little treats and not to mention after my hair was cut they styled it with this amazing Miracurl curling devise which transformed my entire look. They spent 2 hours with me playing with my hair and giving me so much attention. I actually can't wait for my hair to grow out so I can make another appointment! Very happy I have found this gem. read more

Salon Bisoux is a wonderful gem and much valued addition to the Del Ray/Alexandria area. Krista and Philippe have been my go-to team for years, and their move to their own salon has been fantastic. They are not only the best in their work but they also have provided a wonderful atmosphere, very welcoming and enjoyable as a day spa and salon. Plus a wonderful team of stylists, colors, and so many terrific people who make Bisoux a pleasure to visit. read more

I recently decided to get hair extensions and after my initial consult with Val I booked my appointment for a few weeks later. I always get my balayage with Krista and I get SO many compliments from people on my color. I got my color first and then sat in Val's chair and watched the team completely transform my hair. I now have a thick, full, gorgeous head of healthy blonde hair! Great job Salon Bisoux. I could not be happier!!!!! read more
