I recently moved from MD to VA. My hair stylist is way too far out for me to justify going there…read moreoften so I'm looking for new places. I found this place as it's near my job and figured the price was competitive. I get the same as I usually get with my go to hair stylist (wash/blow/flat/and I get a fade where my edges are shaved) it said it would be $65 to do the wash/blow/set/flat and $15 for a trim. I walked out of there paying $130!!!! Not to mention the stylist who did my hair almost fucked up my edges. First she didn't want to do it at all and then tried to barely trim it (like if I'm paying you give me what I want I shouldn't have to ask you multiple times) and I had to get another patron to help her fix them. Needless to say I'm not impressed as this same service usually cost me about $90-100 at my old stylist. And even the person doing my hair here said that was high (yet she charged me $130 for doing the exact thing make that make sense). Won't be coming back here. I'll try and find another salon or I'll brace the drive to MD to go to my old stylist because I got ripped off here.

They're very patient and accommodating. Sometimes I wait because I'm running late (not their fault), but they attend to me right away when they can!

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!

The salon specializes in color, but the quality of haircuts I get here has really surpassed anywhere else I've been.

Also, the Halloween and Christmas decor here is not to be missed, seriously a real selling point and something I look forward to seeing every year.

The reason for my negative feedback is that I place a high value on accountability. My appointment…read morewas scheduled for 10:45am, I arrived at exactly 10:45 and parked at 10:48 (see attached photos) the 3 extra minutes was because there was no parking available. After I checked in at the front desk, I sat and waited for almost 40 minutes without any update. Eventually, got up to say something and the receptionist told me I could come back at 12:30 because there was an opening then. When I mentioned that my appointment was at 10:45, she acknowledged that but added that the stylist was running late -- and then tried to place partial blame on me for being "late" as well. I explained that I was only five minutes MAX behind schedule due to the parking situation, but what concerned me most was the lack of accountability here. No one informed me that the stylist was behind schedule when I checked in, and no updates were given to me while I waited. But the most disappointing, and concerning part was the attempt to shift responsibility onto me rather than simply acknowledging the delay. As a business owner myself, I believe accountability and transparency are essential. When a business can't take responsibility for its own scheduling issues and instead blames the customer, it raises serious concerns and makes me question the ethics and how this business might handle more serious issues, and for this reason, I hope to encourage their management team and any potential clients to reflect on how important accountability and honest communication is!
