    Before the haircut...

    Sarah Gonzalez 10/10! Been getting haircuts from her since 2021 and although she moved to this salon which is a long drive from my house, WORTH IT! She does exactly what you ask f and this salon is so clean and nice!

    It was my first time there and I was a little lost since I just moved to VA. The girl at the front desk was patient, gave me directions and the salon was clean. Carole took care of me and was great! She was super nice and welcoming.

    Sam made my experience awesome. She made me feel so comfortable and my hair is amazing. The client waiting area as so cute and relaxing. Other staff was somewhat friendly. Will be referring many people there.

    During COVID - 3 months & the grow-out was still so well-blended on my balayage. That is what you call: SKILLS.

    Priscilla always does a great job! Genuine customer service, quality skills, and sincere knowledge. It's great to find a "homegirl" feel at a high-end salon here in Fairfax County, hard to come by. It ain't cheap hontee, but you won't pay any less around here for the same, if fact you'll pay the same for less - she's dope!

    What I got
    Amy M.

    Loved my experience at Salon 46 with Carole! I had long, super thick, wavy hair and wanted a simple medium cut that looked modern. I brought in a Pinterest pic, as one does, and left with exactly what I asked for. Carole even took the time to teach me how to get the more relaxed curls I haven't been able to figure out. This salon is modern without being pretentious and cute without being cutesy - I will certainly be back!

    Took this immediately after I got home from the salon -- not pleased with this cut or the color.

    I wanted to like this place: right near my house, less expensive than my regular salon, and super cute. I booked a cut and color with a new stylist (Ludy), and although she was very sweet, it just didn't work out. The TLDR version is -- somehow she managed to dye my roots a really different color from the rest of my hair. When I mentioned it, she said it was impossible to make them the same color (this has never been an issue before, anywhere else), but then put another round of demi-glaze on my hair so it was at least less-worse. Unfortunately, it was still noticeable, and since the fix was only semi permanent, it's gotten worse as time went on. The stylist did spend a lot of time on my hair, and was very sweet, so I tipped her, but I'm not going back. I've uploaded some photos to my review... the cut was also not very good. It's just gotten worse over time, and as my roots have grown in, I'm stuck with tri-color hair.

    I love my haircut, blow dry, and curls by Ludy! My hair is naturally curly, and I love how this turned out!

    Whenever I move to a new area I dread finding a new salon, so I'm so glad I found Salon 46 from yelp! This salon uses high quality Bumble and Bumble products- which was one reason why I chose to come here- and I had a great overall experience! Everyone here was so friendly. The lady at the front desk was wonderful and helpful. I love that they had complimentary hot tea and other drinks as well. Ludy was my stylist, and she was so helpful in finding the right shape/style for my curly hair! She first looked at my hair and talked about what I wanted and what she suggested before I got it washed. She was really helpful with how to make my naturally curly hair look and feel better! The lady that washed my hair was amazing- it was very relaxing and not rough. After it was cut (no color) Ludy blew it out and added in curls. I'm very picky when it comes to my hair, and this is one of my favorite cuts and styles I've had! I walked out feeling great. I wish I had a before photo, but here it is after it was cut and styled! Their pricing is the same as the other local high rated salons, so I'm not sure why there is an additional dollar sign. I also highly recommend buying your Bumble and Bumble products here- it supports a local business and the prices are the same as the prices online!

    I followed Bridgid here as well. Once you find a stylist who can work with curly hair, you follow her to the ends of the earth. I've bounced around different salons in VA and DC, and I adore the welcoming feel of Salon 46. Everyone working here is professional and friendly, which is not always the case in the uber-pretentiousness of the DMV. I love that there's always plenty of free parking around the salon too! And Brigid....she is a gem. She's funny and sweet and she works color magic on my greys every 6 weeks. She listens to what you want and always has great advice and styling suggestions. Because of her, I've learned to accept my curly hair....and since finding her, I've starting receiving compliments on my natural curls for the first time in my life. My hair and I are at war no more.

I have been a client of the Salon for four years and continue to be completely satisfied and amazed of the results! Kris continues to study to perfect her craft!

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!
