    Short, choppy haircut with bald spot!

    I don't like writing negative reviews, especially for a local business, but I feel that I don't have another option. I made a haircut appointment with Phillipe last month because I was about to head out for a month-long vacation, as well as having a couple of big events coming up in the next couple of months. I explained to Phillipe that I had not been happy with the stylist I had been seeing because he kept thinning out my hair with thinning shears, which I do not like. I have short hair, but I had let it grow a little bit so that Phillipe would have something to work with. I told Phillipe that in addition to my upcoming vacation, I had a couple of big events in a couple of months, and that I needed to figure out how I wanted to wear my hair. Phillipe had cut my hair several times pre-COVID, and I just hadn't been back to him since. But, I was now looking for someone I could trust to give me a good haircut. I showed him several pictures of long pixie-style haircuts, including one that he had given me a few years ago and that I loved. I explained that I wanted length on top--I do NOT like short, choppy layers, and I expressed that several times. The pictures I showed him all had longer layers on the top. He kept holding up the top pieces and asking, "you want this to be long?" I couldn't understand why he kept asking that when I had already told him several times that I wanted the top to be longer and had shown him pictures with longer layers on top. He also kept asking how many different people had cut my hair since my last haircut appointment because I told him that I had trimmed it in a few places and that my hair colorist had trimmed it for me. I didn't understand why this made a difference, but he asked this several times. He finally said, "I think you want a pixie." And, I said, "yes, a LONG pixie." So he went to work. I closed my eyes while he was cutting, and when I opened after he had finished one side, I was SHOCKED to see how short he had cut my hair--it was short and choppy all over. At that point, I had no option but to let him finish the rest of the cut. I knew it was short, but I was hoping that it was at least a decent cut that would grow out well. However, this has honestly been the worst haircut I have ever had. It has now been 3 weeks since I've had it cut, and it doesn't look any better. The pieces on top towards the back of my head are still sticking straight up. And, I have two basically bald spots where he cut the hair so short that it doesn't even cover my scalp. This is not a cute pixie cut--it's a complete hack job. The layers do not blend together--it is just short and choppy all over. There is absolutely no style to this cut. We are on a very nice vacation, and I've had to wear a baseball cap everywhere we go because I'm so embarrassed and horrified of this haircut. And, I now have two major events that are less than 2 months away, and I have no hope that my hair will be at a length where anything can be done to make it look decent. This is NOT what I expected from the owner of a high-end salon--one who charges $165 for a haircut. I would have gotten a better haircut at Haircuttery. I would advise anyone considering a short haircut to steer clear of this salon.

    This was what the stylist gave me at Salon Bissoux when I asked for light blonde hair.

    I'm having a hard time articulating my experience at this place, but I feel the need to make this review to warn future clients. My colorist/dye person seemed very inexperienced based on the results of my head. She put Saran Wrap in my hair instead of tin foil, she burned my scalp really bad, the colors she put in my hair bled everywhere and created a mess of ugly blonde colors. She gave me very little time with her and just seemed to be in a rush for her break which is fine, but to not even see how the color looked afterwards is completely awful. I guess, she too, was embarrassed by the color that she didn't want to see it to the end. I had to ask the front desk lady to get her. I don't think I'll be returning, sorry.

    Expensive, yes. But totally worth it. See for yourself. If you're looking for color, this is the place.

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!

Priscilla listened to exactly what I wanted and gave expert level feedback both on what I was asking and on what she could do given the condition of my hair (super dry).
