We combine high-performing plant-based hair and skin care with continuous advanced education for our entire team. As detailed on our about us page, our locations use sustainable, eco-friendly product lines like Aveda, Oway, Oribe, and HanSim to ensure your services protect both your personal health and the environment while delivering tailored at-home care routines.
We formulate our custom plant-based hair color services with Aveda and Oway professional color lines. These formulas use plant-derived ingredients instead of harsh synthetic chemicals to nourish your hair while delivering rich color, full gray coverage, and long-term scalp health.
Yes, we offer custom consultations for both Vomor and Halo hair extensions. Our trained extension specialists evaluate your natural hair density, texture, and lifestyle goals during a hair extension consultation to match you with a lightweight, damage-free application method.
We have two full-service salon and spa locations serving Coastal Virginia and Northern Virginia. You can visit our Old Town Alexandria salon or our Newport News salon near Hilton Village and CNU for comprehensive hair care and dedicated spa services.
Our estheticians use clean, plant-based products tailored to your specific skin barrier, including exclusive HanSim skincare formulations at our Alexandria location and Aveda skincare systems in Newport News. Every service begins with a skin analysis as part of our custom facials to target hydration and smooth fine lines.
Balayage uses a hand-painted technique to create a soft, natural gradient with seamless outgrowth, making it ideal for low-maintenance upkeep. Traditional highlights use foils from the root down to deliver precise brightness. Our colorists assist you during your balayage and highlight appointment to select the ideal option for your routine.
Your stylist examines your hair texture, growth patterns, facial structure, and daily styling routine before cutting a single strand. During your custom haircut and blowout, we discuss your goals and prescribe specific Aveda or Oribe styling products so you can recreate your look easily at home.
Yes, all professional lines we use backbar and sell in our boutiques, including Aveda, Oway, and Oribe, are strictly cruelty-free and environmentally conscious. As highlighted in our eco-friendly salon philosophy, we select our product partners based on their commitment to ethical sourcing and clean manufacturing.
Vomor tape-in hair extensions typically require a move-up every 6 to 8 weeks as your natural hair grows, while Halo extensions are custom-fitted removable pieces designed for daily wear. Following our prescribed care routine for hair extensions and treatments maximizes the lifespan of your hair.
We offer targeted botanical hair treatments from Aveda and Oway that rebuild compromised hair bonds and replenish essential moisture balance. During your appointment, we assess your hair strength to select either a protein-repairing treatment or a deep-penetrating hydrating mask.
Hard wax adheres directly to the hair shaft rather than the skin, making it gentler and best suited for delicate areas like the face, underarms, and bikini line. Soft wax is applied thin and removed with cloth strips across larger surface areas. You can explore our full range of gentle face and body waxing options.
Exfoliate your body thoroughly 24 hours before your session, and avoid applying lotions, oils, or deodorants on the day of your appointment. Wearing loose, dark clothing to your custom airbrush tanning session allows the tanning solution to set evenly without creasing.
Our Newport News location provides comprehensive lash lift and brow lamination treatments alongside brow shaping and tinting. These services enhance your natural brow structure and lash curl, giving you a polished look without daily makeup.
For optimal skin renewal and maintenance, we recommend scheduling a skin barrier facial every 4 to 6 weeks. This timeline aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle and helps control congestion, dryness, and signs of aging.

We prescribe custom at-home maintenance routines featuring Aveda or Oway color-preserving shampoos and conditioners. Washing with cool water and applying Oribe thermal protectants from our color care routine will extend your shade’s vibrancy.
