    This was my first time here and I really wish I liked my cut. Joy was super nice and personable and I really wanted to love my hair leaving there. She put the fun curly waves in my hair at the end of the appointment so I didn't really get to see my cut with straight hair for a few days until I had washed and dried it. I had asked for LONG layers with my hair shorter in the front and tapering to a V in the back. I'm super disappointed in the layers. There are weird long pieces in the very front by my face with shorter pieces behind them? It doesn't taper into a V I'm the back at all. The top layer is super thick and like 5" shorter than the rest of my hair. Overall it's just very chunky and not what I was looking for. I've been wearing my hair in a bun for the past week and have been trying to look for a new place to fix it.

    blonde balayage on short brown hair

    Joy is the best !!! First of all she managed to squeeze me in despite being fully booked as I wanted to make sure to get my hair done before a wedding. With this being said she was still extremely thorough with the entire balayage process despite clearly being held up way overtime (she worked on my hair until 9pm!) ! I went in with super grown out balayage that had a lot of orangey tones and streaks that I hated and Joy completely transformed it! She was super attentive to everything I asked for and continued to make sure she understood what I wanted as she did my hair. It turned out amazing !! will definitely be going back :)

    A month ago I got a "full balayage" at a salon in NC, and was essentially given messy highlights (the stylist either didn't know how to give a balayage or I was scammed). The result was a head full of different clashing colors, a harsh line on my roots, and a bunch of stripy highlights. A month later I decided to try to find a different stylist who could fix my hair. At Capital LuXe, Joy was able to completely transform my hair into the perfect balayage I had envisioned way back when I first got my hair done a month ago. The color is perfect, everything is blended seamlessly, and my hair has been fixed! I feel so much more confident and absolutely love my hair. Joy can take hair in any state and completely transform it!

    I booked a visit with Joy right when she was reopened from the pandemic. Not only was the studio clean and sanitized, but she made me feel beautiful with perfect highlights. I've been to her twice now, and I absolutely love what she does! She is such a talented stylist and is very easy going. I used to go to the chains (bubbles, PR at Partners, etc.) and was paying the same, if not more, for services that don't compare to how amazing Joy's work is! This picture is from my most recent visit today. If you're looking for a great stylist who knows what they're doing, I would highly recommend Joy!

    Before I went to Joy

    Firstly, I love my hair!! It came out exactly how I wanted. I also really enjoyed talking with Joy, she was very kind and knowledgeable about hair. I am usually weary about who I bring my hair to because it's so thick but Joy knew how to handle it. It was also very easy to book. I will definitely be going back. The first photo is the before and the second is the after. Thank you Joy!

    Wedding Day!  Hair styled by Joy

    I decided two days before my wedding that I wanted to get my hair cut and styled before the big day (instead of doing it myself). I got married in Virginia, but I am from New York and I had no idea where to go! I turned to Yelp! to find someone who could squeeze me in last minute and someone who I could trust to make my hair look better (not worse)! I was very impressed with Joy's work as I went through the photos posted on her Yelp! page. I messaged Joy and she responded right away! I scheduled an appointment for the next day. Joy was friendly and asked questions to ensure she knew exactly what I was looking for, and she explained what she thought was best and explained why. She made me feel very comfortable. I have been growing out my hair for a little over a year now - and it was getting long but also had a bunch of uneven layers that looked sloppy. The results were spot on - EXACTLY what I wanted! I could not have asked for a better haircut. I have gotten so many compliments on my new hair! And I feel like a million bucks! I will definitely be returning to Joy!

    Gorgeous hair.

    "Joy is AMAZING!" Its been over two weeks since Joy fixed my hair color and it still looks gorgeous. I just moved here from Hawaii, so I had to find a new hairstylist. I tried another hairstylist first but she messed up my hair color. I was really stressed out and needed a good stylist fast. Luckily I found Joy, she fixed my hair color and it looks beautiful again. Thank you Joy. #alexandriava #hairstylist #hairstyles #hair #hairdye

    So today marks my 2 years of having Joy doing my hair, and I can't say enough good things about her. I have the desire to be as blonde and as icy as can be (think Elsa from Frozen blonde), with pretty dark natural hair. Joy has been able to get me to the level of blonde that I've always wanted to be at all while maintaining the integrity of my hair. She has listened to me about what I've wanted since day one, all while giving her input and what she suggests will not only look best but be the healthiest option for my hair. I'm very picky about who does my hair and sincerely only trust Joy at this point in my life. Her continuing education in hair and aesthetics shows her passion for what she does and keeps her fresh and up to date on current trends. Joy has created a very comfortable atmosphere in her salon, I sincerely enjoy going to see her and getting my hair done because for me it's my time to relax and unwind. Thanks for always taking care of me and always making me feel my best Joy!!!

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.

She is a master colorist, stays up-to-date on industry trends & techniques and is an all around lovely person. My tip: Make your appointments well in advance. I schedule mine up to a year out. She's highly in demand (that's what I want in a stylist!) and weekends fill up fast. Original review (2016): Sue Scott is amazing with hair, both color and styling. She gave me a balayage of caramel and mocha colors and I've never been so happy with getting color. Then I showed her images of 40s style curls that I'd been trying to accomplish at home. She gave me a great tutorial as she styled my hair, and I though this really went the extra mile. I've been able to replicate it at home, which is what I think we all want to be able to do after we leave the salon. I also felt like Sue really listened to what I wanted. I like to have flexibility to air dry (natural waves), straighten or curl and wanted a cut that would be versatile. I've tried all three since I got my cut last week and I'm very pleased with the results. In the salon, she's really easy to talk to and has a really positive attitude. I think the best way to get an idea of someone's work is to see it. Sue posts almost daily to her Instagram (@wispsalonalexandria), so if you are trying to make a decision on if her style would work for you, this is a good place to start. She also uses online appointment booking, which I prefer. Highly recommend!
