    Wow the worst haircut ever. random strands are shorter than others.
    Lisa X.

    I hate writing one star reviews for small businesses. But this is necessary. I had a haircut with the owner. Unfortunately It is the worst haircut of my life. There are random strands and sections of hair that are longer/ short than others. It looks like a monkey on drugs haphazardly cut my hair. It's so embarrassing I'm wearing a hat until my next hair appointment with a real hairstylist. Wow steer clear of this place. Yikes.

    After nano procedure

    I want to give a shout out to Alexa (To) Nguyen for my eyebrows! I have been contemplating getting microblading for a couple years but always was nervous since I wasn't sure if it was too much for my face. I have hair but it's light and the shape wasn't very good. I finally let Alexa convince me to do my eyebrows. She suggested I do nano brows vs. microblading. She said nano would look more natural and would last longer. Well let me just say the procedure was pain free and she really took the time to draw out my eyebrows and get my input before starting. I am so glad I did this and really love my new brows! I didn't know what a difference it would make and how it really framed my face. It's been about a week and even though it's still healing I love them more and more! Alexa also does my color/bayalage and cut and I love her as my stylist as well. Don't hesitate to check out Dream Salon and go to Alexa!

    Tri is amazing at what he does and has great communication. i've gone to this solon twice and was so happy that both times he was my stylist. 100% recommend this salon never going anywhere else again.

The artists were the highlight of my experience and made me feel so beautiful, comfortable, and cared for on such a special day. Marina did my hair, and she was absolutely wonderful. I was nervous because I never wear my hair up in a bun, but she made me feel completely at ease and gave me the confidence to step outside of my comfort zone. I am so glad I trusted her -- my hair felt elegant, timeless, and very "me." She also listened to my feedback from the trial and made thoughtful tweaks so that the final look felt perfect for the wedding day. Cynthia did my makeup, and she made me feel stunning. I am always a little nervous about false lashes, but she made them look natural, comfortable, and beautiful. She really understood what I wanted, while also using her expertise to make sure everything looked polished and lasted throughout the day. Both Marina and Cynthia were not only talented, but also warm, calm, and professional. Their presence made the getting-ready morning feel relaxed and special, which meant so much. The moms looked beautiful as well, and everyone's makeup lasted all day. The reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the administrative side of the process could have been smoother. Communication was delayed at times, often more than 2-3 business days, and it took about a month to hear back regarding trial date options. I understand this was around December and the holidays, but I was trying to plan ahead around travel, so the delay added some stress. There was also a fair amount of back-and-forth around scheduling the trial, limited availability, a few typos or timing miscommunications, and some unanswered questions related to logistics like timing and inclement weather. I also received several auto-responses, which made the planning process feel a little less personal. Overall, I was so happy with the final hair and makeup, and I am very grateful to the artists for making me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. I would absolutely recommend MAB for the talent, warmth, and professionalism of the artists, with the note that the administrative communication could be improved for a smoother planning experience.

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.
