If I could give 10/10 stars I would! Cree is my GIRL. So, if you all look up the Phenix Salon…read moreSuites, you'll see the picture of the building from the outside. Inside, there are little individual rooms of people who are all self employeed. I may be biased, but Cree is the best one! I met her four years ago now; knew her while she worked at Ulta, and followed her when she opened up her salon I've always hated getting my hair trimmed or re-layered bc no one ever did it right. I always wished I could just say to the person "this is my hair type- make it so it looks nice!" So, I was nervous the first time she cut my hair, BUT she did such a great job, I did not hesitate to come back. I had reference pictures & told her to do what she does best bc I trust her skill, and she wowed me! She's got curlyyy hair, so she is very aware and educated on different types of hair textures, styles, and cuts that will accentuate your natural hair. There's something about getting your hair done by someone who understands the struggle of curly/wavy/ naturally frizzy hair that should give you the confidence to pick her. I trusted her so much to where she was the first person I thought of when I wanted to do THE BIG CHO (July 2021)!! I'll post before and after pictures of that. And then the recent picture for my recent trim. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is FUN to talk to. Hair like mine, you know you're gonna be in that chair for 1.5+hours minimum! An incredible experience overall. So, if your looking for quality, make sure you reach out to her!

The Phenix Salon Suites has a little something for everyone…read more Each suite is independently owned and operated by the individual business located on the inside. Most of the individuals take walk ins a d you have a few who work in Sunday's, which in the hair care industry sometimes is hard to find. Need a hairdresser? They are here! Need a barber? There's one here! Need an eyelash artist? There's one here too!! The circular shaped inside makes it easy to walk through and see what each business has to offer. Most have their business cards outside their doors so even if they are not there and they catch your eye, you can still have the means to contact them. There is also a directory to the right as soon as you walk in that lists the enclosed business, however there is no indications for the services they provide. The interior of the building is well maintained. There are two unisex restrooms located in the rear of the location for patrons.

Cautionary Experience! Hair salons that don't keep a social media presence are doing so to avoid…read morethe upkeep but to also avoid being accountable for their eventual horrible work! Lesson learned. Do your research and don't just count on a friend's experience. My friend does just basic color, retwist, and style. When your work is great - you blast it!!! You want to tell and show the world!!! But when you're mediocre, can't stand toe to toe with others in your field, that does the same work - you fade out and just depend on current clientele and THEIR word of mouth. STOP!!! AVOID!!! After 2.5 years all was good until it's no longer!!! Toshia Crosby over processed my hair and now my locs are falling out. PERIOD!!! She started, maintained, and now ruined! Also, her technique is problematic. Because I always go for a roller set, I never realized the loose hairs weren't properly being intertwined. This chic really needs to just stop. These stylists out here truly think they can do it ALL and dance between doing all types of hair and styles. No. No you can not. This is proof! Stay in your lane. She knew she ruined my hair and has taken ZERO responsibility! I'm so disappointed and disgusted. In the 2.5 years I've paid her $3k - receipt attached & I've done at least 6-8 cash pymts, went every 4-6 wks faithfully, and this is the result!

I had no issues with booking through vagaro and Monica replied back quick when I reached out on insta with my inspo pics. Monica is crazy talented and I love how knowledgeable she is about hair. She doesn't mind questions and is always recommending the best products. This time I felt like the price I paid was well worth every penny.

The response by the owner reinforces my rating and review. I'll rebut here, in parenthesis:…read moreWe're sorry your experience didn't meet your expectations. To clarify: you did receive and pay for a strand test, which showed your black color wasn't lifting--this was explained during both visits. (I do not have black hair- I have dark brown hair and the lift was described as "uneven' I have the text message stating that) The power outage during your haircut was caused by a severe storm and was beyond our control. (I did not blame you for the outage at all) Regarding communication: we do not use bots. Our text system is managed by real team members to offer convenient booking and support. (If the text "system" is managed by your staff the lack of clarity and the impersonality of the texts did not show that) At your follow-up, several stylists explained that achieving ashy highlights in one session wasn't realistic and you would have red , which you were very adamant it couldn't be . When you requested a black gloss, we advised against it, as it conflicted with your goal. (I discussed with your co-manager, and the store manager, as well as prob 5 other people that I understood it would be a "color journey". Having been a platinum blonde a few times, I do understand. I also did not request a "black gloss"; I requested a demi gloss for roots only.) We support our team's right to decline services when expectations are unsafe or behavior is concerning. We wish you the best. (The only behavior that was questionable was that of the 5 or so staff that continued to gang up on me in the middle of the salon and ultimately refuse me service. Your insinuation that I was at fault illustrates why your staff think they can behave in the manner in which they did.) I wish your business the best of luck because the way you are running it now will alienate a lot of people.

Ladies, ladies, ladies if you haven't had the opportunity to…read morevisit Hair Link Salon at 512 -C South Van Dorn Street, Alexandria, VA 22304 please book your appointment soon. The owner's name is Nanah and when I tell you my experience was the greatest, it truly was everything in more. This was my first time at the salon so to say I was a little nervous is an understatement. I braid hair myself and normally I would just do my hair but because it is my birthday my husband decided to pay for me to have it done. I arrived at the Salon at 10:15 am my appointment wasn't until 10:30 am and at 10:30 am we got started. I had washed my hair but if you choose not to they have a department available to take care of that first. What also got my attention was that if you have a certain type of shampoo you would prefer just bring it with you they don't mind. The salon was clean and very inviting. The young lady who did my hair asked all the right questions before she got started, evening asking if I had a photo which I did. My style was medium box braids. I did supply my hair but you can also purchase hair from the salon. I had three people working on my hair and I surely didn't mind given the time in which they finished. These ladies never stopped and nor did I ask for a break. I'm so happy with the outcome. I'm beyond satisfied. The price was incredible considering I got 32 inches of hair in my head. I did tip each person I only wish I could have given them more but a girl is on a budget. My husband loved my hair. My daughters were happy for me knowing that I usually don't do things like this anymore. I'm just so happy with the way it feels, look and length. I truly will return and recommend that you give them the same opportunity I did. My only negative take-a-way was that I didn't remember the young ladies name that braided my hair but blame it on my nerves. So I had to text the owner for her name because she deserves to be acknowledged for an awesome job done. Her name is Khadija you can call her at 703-370-2550 So indulge ladies you will be completely satisfied.
