About

Current Salon & Color Bar by Nese opened in 2012 and later moved to a newer space at One Loudoun in Ashburn. Nese Altas co-owns the salon with Ryan Mallard and works as its lead stylist. The salon describes itself as a leading hair salon in Northern Virginia and says it has won top awards and recognition year after year; these are the salon's own claims.

Hair services cover women's, men's and children's cuts and styling, root touch-ups, full and partial foil highlights, balayage, and foilyage, which wraps hand-painted balayage sections in foils to speed up lightening. Balayage and foilyage usually take two to four hours, depending on hair length, texture and the look wanted. Prices for many services vary with hair thickness or length, and a consultation with a stylist can help clients choose a cut, color technique or treatment.

The Color Bar lets guests sip a drink while they consult with a stylist. The salon says it is the first and only Masters of Balayage Certified Diamond Salon in the world, and that stylists receive ongoing color education through the Masters of Balayage education team. Stylist levels are based on years of experience, advanced certifications and ongoing education, with Level I covering one to three years and Level V ten or more years. A semi-private room serves bridal parties, and a dedicated space is available for larger wedding parties.

Stylists keep up with color education on an ongoing basis, and the salon says its products are free of parabens, sulfates and harsh chemicals.

A Color Bar where guests can relax with a drink while they plan their color.
