I came in with brown/red hair with the goal of achieving a full blonde transformation and Mariam delivered beyond my wildest dreams. When she finally revealed the result, I cried happy tears. Hair health was my number one priority going into this, and that priority was fully shared by Mariam and the entire team. Nothing was rushed, everything was methodical, well thought out, and intentional. Three months later, my hair is genuinely the healthiest it has ever been. Mariam and the team are committed to helping you reach your hair goals no matter how long it takes, and they are genuinely so supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process. She also sent me home with thorough guidance on maintaining my results and continuing to improve my hair health over time. The energy at Alexander Salon is energizing, and so positive. I cannot recommend Mariam enough!!!

I know Amber K ( the other reviewer) and asked her where she got her hair done because it does look super nice and she suggested Biyoshi after researching herself the best places to go. I went in with an appointment when it was opened and it does get busy fast so even though they do welcome walk-ins, I suggest making an appointment or calling ahead. With the hair style I had in mind, Andrea went at it and after cutting about ~10 inches off it looked amazing. I feel like a new person and am totally in love. Thanks Biyoshi!

I showed multiple reference photos…read moreand clearly explained what I wanted, but the final result looked nothing like the photos or what we discussed. The highlights placement was completely different from what I asked for, the cut was significantly shorter than requested, and the styling honestly made everything look worse. What's most frustrating is that I felt like my concerns and requests were largely ignored throughout the appointment. I left feeling shocked and upset, especially given the price (450) and the salon's reputation. I'm posting this because I genuinely would like the salon to make this right, whether through a refund or correction with a different stylist.

I came for a bangs cut and trim, eyebrow and lip wax…read more The good: Eyebrows. The middling: My hair/bangs. Needs improvement: The upper lip. I had a super green hairstylist, very young probably knows how to do her own hair better than she knows how to cut hair. She listened to what I wanted tho, gave feedback on the pictures I presented, tried really hard. In a couple of years she will probably be a very good hairstylist. My bangs definitely look a little weird right now, I'm gonna have to give them a few weeks. I do wish she had cut them heavier though, cause my bangs will take a lot of styling to get them to fall on my forehead the way I want them. My layers are still pretty uneven, one side is longer than the other. I wish she had been able to fix those too but again, like I said she was very green and Supercuts it's cheap, so I'll live. Eyebrows is where this young one excelled. Super gentle touch, precise, my brows look awesome! I got stubbornly aggressive hairs on my upper lip that cannot be gently coaxed into abandoning their domain and this gal struggled to wax me. She was too gentle, didn't pull hard enough or pull my skin taut. The wax kept peeling off me instead of ripping the hair out. She had to ask her boss to help. The problem is that the only part the boss waxed was the corners of my upper lip where my lady stache is at my Frida Kahloiest. They didn't wax my actual upper lip and I still have hair there. I couldn't tell at the time by looking cause the hair was slicked down but when I got home I could still pull the hair there. So #fail. I'm gonna have to bleach it. Will stick with getting threaded.

I wanted to wait to write this review until I actually saw how my hair looked post-styling, but I'm…read morehappy to say that I was really pleased. I have thick, curly, often frizzy hair and I'm always nervous finding a place to get it cut (I've lived in the area for 8+ years and haven't yet found a place I'm comfortable going to regularly). As such, I hadn't gotten my hair cut in months (like, 8 months) prior to this appointment. I got my hair cut with Candace, and she looked at my hair dry and asked me around where I wanted it to hit afterwards, which I really appreciated with curls. She was able to blow dry it straight afterwards, and I was scared it was going to be too short once it dried curly. BUT, I was pleasantly surprised! It might have been 0.5-1 inch shorter than I anticipated, but it looked great! Deep Blue was the perfect combo of well priced with awesome results. and I might have finally found a place that I can go to regularly! P.S. The online appointment system is also pretty helpful.

I had to come back the last time so Candice could fix my cut, clearly annoyed, and left me with a choppy bang-like piece that I ended up fixing elsewhere. Then this last visit I showed her a photo of what I wanted - a very blunt shoulder length bob. Pretty simple. I was there 20 minutes tops and wasn't shown the back with a mirror, and when I got home and looked with my own mirror, I found the cut was uneven, angled, and longer at the front. Sure it looked nice after being blow dried, and I typically play around with my hair afterwards to to be sure the cut flows nicely, but I felt uncomfortably rushed with her standing at the register waiting for me. The floor should also be swept between each client. That was definitely my last visit there.
