    Karen really worked some magic with this! I love how it frames my face.
    Kaitlyn T.

    Karen is actually a miracle worker on curly hair, I really can't say enough how wonderful she is. I went in for a trim at a different salon and had my curly hair absolutely butchered - like the top half of my head was layered in this mess that left it curling up around the crown, but the bottom layer of my hair was just left around my shoulders. I was panicked and didn't even know how to fix it. I found Karen through Yelp and saw some of the pictures and managed to get in to see her today. I really had low expectations, not because of Karen, but because I really didn't think there was much to do to my head except make it less... bad. Karen patiently listened to me basically break down in her chair and was so kind. I was already stressed from someone messing up my hair but she immediately put me at ease. She really took the time to look at my curls and how my curls differed from one side to the other (even gave me some great tips for my dry scalp). The whole time I felt like she understood curly hair and how to handle it. She was also super transparent about pricing which I really appreciated. I've had salons before make me feel tricked when I got to the register and see that different things were tacked on, but Karen was great. I didn't feel like she was pushing anything on me, and she really went out of her way to make me feel a million times better. I will definitely be back!!

    I'm happy/sad today. I had a very long appointment with Karen. My gray needed zapped. I needed a cut and I wanted some highlights. Once I learned of the price for full highlights, I opted for partial so I'd have $ for a good tip. When it came time to pay, I learned that the blow dry wasn't included in the numbers I was given and a glaze was used that wasn't included. I had a price in my head and then couldn't tip as much as I wanted. I didn't even spend that much $$ in Hawaii for a Brazilian Blowout. I don't think anything was done maliciously. Just be certain of the final price tag before moving forward. Cost aside, Karen is an absolutely wonderful hairdresser. She listens. She's got a good eye for color. The cut was perfect. She offers care and styling tips. Honestly, she's talented and wonderful. That's why I'm happy/sad. I REALLY like Karen and the results but I know she's out of my sustainable budget. Maybe I'll just get a root touch up and nothing else. If cost isn't an issue, or you can splurge, Karen is top-notch. I really like her a LOT and I do love the results!

    This review is mostly for Jessie. She is a magician- I followed her from her previous studio and would follow her again. I used to just come in for cuts, but I learned Jessie is meticulous and so accommodating that I finally let her color my virgin hair. First we dyed it red (This was my 30th birthday meltdown), then red highlights for Christmas, and now honey balyage for summer. I text her pictures, she tells me what she can do, she is definitely reasonably priced for color, she seems to always have appointments available when I need them, and she is VERY attuned to her clients' needs. She spends so much time making sure you get what you want and it always is exactly what I want. I trust her implicitly now. It can take a while, the salon can be pretty busy and there might be some waiting time. But Jessie is specifically totally worth it. Her haircut prices have gone up a bit, but her color prices are low for her skill level- she is priceless. I love her and I keep going back and I get 1000 compliments.

    It's been 15 months since I got my hair done!

    Melody is the best! I've been a loyal client since moving to the area in 2012! Yesterday was my first time back at TJs since the pandemic started, I was so excited to get full highlights from Melody. We leaned a bit more into the gray hair I saw coming in over the the past 15 months. She also always gives the best blow outs, so I was excited to show my hair off yesterday for a friends birthday! I felt totally safe and in good hands with Melody and the TJs team. Sonya also gives a great scalp massage when she washes your hair. I forgot how much I missed getting my hair washed too!

    Yesterday I received the deva cut from Karen and she did a fantastic job! I honestly couldn't be more thrilled with the way it turned out. It was such a fascinating and inter process to watch and karen went above and beyond to make sure I was happy ! My hair has never felt so healthy, full , defined , and smelled so good! Everyone was so kind here and I would 10/10 recommend the deva cut and styling here!

    Karen is AMAZING, she gets 5 stars! I came here for the DavaCut and as you can see in the pictures the transformation is WOW! She is a true perfectionist! I know a lot of people say that about stylists but Karen really is. She wouldn't even let me cross my legs while she was cutting my hair because she wanted it to be perfect. Not sure if that's a Devacut rule or hers but I don't care, I like it. The process was a little long but I don't care. It felt amazing and it looks amazing. Because my results are so great, I bough the products which I never do. I took off a star because of the salon. I wanted to take off 2 stars but I'm generous with the 4th. While I was getting my hair rinsed, one of the shampoo girls didn't even know how to rinse the color out of one lady's hair. She kept asking the shampoo girl that was doing mine. I was scared for the lady getting her hair rinsed. She kept asking how long should she rinse her hair and when can she tell it's been rinsed all the way, YIKES! She told the lady "don't be nervous." Ummmmmm too late missthang, I'm nervous for her. Secondly, while I was getting my hair washed, they had the back door cracked. It's 28 degrees outside, so needless to say I was freezing my lady parts off. I couldn't WAIT to get under the hairdryer just to warm up. People kept saying it was cold and the door was still left cracked. Thirdly, when it was time for me to check out, I was a little indecisive about what to get because I didn't want to spend $200 in just products which I believe is understandable to almost anyone. It took me about 5 minutes to decide and she was clearly feeling impatient. She forgot to take off my discount for the review and when I went into my Yelp to show her my profile a 25% coupon popped up. She told me it wasn't valid and I could only get 20% off instead. Wth?!?! So be prepared to only get 20% and not 25% even though that's what THEIR business says on Yelp. Oh yeah, the same girl that was at the front desk was the same one that was rinsing the lady's hair out, go figure. I will absolutely be back to see Karen! She's the real MVP! Note: It would be a great idea if they started offering beverages such as water, tea, and wine, most salons do nowadays. Not sure if they have them or they don't. I did ask for a bottle of water and they gave me one but I don't know if that's standard or not.

    Hair cut -after

    I got my hair done by Karen, and am so happy with it! I wasn't sure how short I wanted to go or how to style it, and she was wonderful in her advice she gave me. She was so nice and gave me one of the best hair cuts I've had in a while! Will definitely be coming back for another cut!

    First cut by karen.

    Karen did an amazing job on my hair! I had a botched Deva cut before and she fixed it. I will say with any curly gurl your hair will respond differently to product as the stylist gets to know you! The first time i had to re style my hair the next day. (Which was fine, my cut was fab) I went back in for a color and this time she knew my hair and i got 5 days out of that style! I will attach photos of my cut first time, my color, and how much my hair has changed just going to her!

    Ready for the prom!  Thanks melody!

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!
