Salon DeZEN

I was new to salon DeZEN and I found it the be very clean and the staff to be very friendly. I chose Kara as my stylist and I found her to be very good at accommodating for my curly hair needs.

I visited Salon deZEN for the first time last year and Tanisha was my stylist. I originally shared this over email but wanted to post this on yelp to share how positive of an experience I had with her. I had the same stylist in Chicago for 10 years and since my move to NOVA, I have only had 2 salon experiences that weren't the best. Tanisha gave me one of the best cuts I have ever had and she could tell I was a bit nervous but I'm so pleased with how healthy and perfect my cut was.

I look forward to seeing her again in the next month! I'm so happy to find this gem of a salon!

Salon deZEN became my hair paradise as I arrived on-site with pop tunes blasting from the speakers. Hand painted chairs and funky string art lined the walls--capturing the wild child spirit of the salon.

Out came a woman in a neon green jacket and even brighter personality. Maria Elizabeth, former model turned hair therapist, was going to transform my locks from dry and tangled to model worthy curls.

I felt like a princess throughout the treatment. Maria offered me refreshments of water, tea, and retro candy from her home state of Michigan. The shampoo experience had warm scented towels (I picked a rose essence) and she massaged my scalp with lots of pressure, per my request. My seat was cozy as it reclined far back with a footrest for my comfort.

Once in Maria's chair I requested my hair treatment be "me but better" with a keratin treatment and anything else she recommended. Maria began with a curly cut on my wet hair so my afro would have the best shape when dried. She explained she would go in again for cutting any out of place hairs once my hair was straightened. The reasoning: so I would look good whether in my natural state or with a blow out!

Maria assured me through every step of the process.When applying the keratin treatment she explained the one she used on me was safe for natural hair. The treatment which was left to process for fifteen minutes. The results: to omit my frizz and enhance the look of my curls for up to three months. Once the timer went off Maria followed up with a blow dry and flat iron to activate the keratin. I was left with light-as-air hair with mega shine and felt like silk.

My time at Salon deZEN was part self-care, part girl talk, and 100% therapeutic.

I see Alondra regularly, but I've also worked with Martha. Both are a dream! Martha is fun and funky, very thoughtful when listening to me about my color, and was able to provide exactly what I wanted. Alondra's vibe is so calm and inviting. I've been seeing her for about three years now and I always know my time with her will be a relaxing experience with someone who I trust will always give me a great cut or color. You can't go wrong with Alondra!

Alondra with Salon DeZEN creates Pinterest-perfect balayage! She was so sweet and easy to talk to, and really cared about the look I wanted to achieve. She spent a lot of time talking to me about products and styling techniques that would help recreate my new style at home. I couldn't be happier with my new color! The salon itself is really cute, inclusive, and very welcoming. I will definitely be a return customer!

I love this place! It's inclusive and welcoming. The people at the front desk are always friendly. I get my curly cut from Lee, and she's not only fun to chat with but gives AMAZING curly cuts. She gave me my first set of bangs and gave me EXACTLY what I was looking for. She also colored my hair and did a wonderful job. Get your curls cut by Lee!

Just moved to the area and very happy I found this Salon. When I first walked in it was very clean and the vibe was very nice. I chose Mariah as my stylist and she did a fantastic job. I struggle finding a good stylist that can give my hair the love it needs but she blew me away. My hair is dark brown, fine, and to my waist but I highlight it to full blonde. She was very fun to talk to as well which made the experience even better. I already rebooked my next appointment with her in a few months. I totally recommend this place!

If you want a whole hair transformation go to Kahli. In six months she took my thin, damaged blonde head of straw and turned it into a luscious brunette moment. I can't imagine going anywhere else. These photos are six months apart*

So friendly, I walk away with what I want and they do military discount! I have used several stylist and they all do a wonderful job with what I want!

I love this salon and my stylist Alondra. She's able to deliver exactly the colors reference in my pictures. Alondra cares of hair health and is very vocal. In general salon deZen is clean, organized and a very welcoming. Products used are good quality and are able to recommend good products for your hair concerns.
