About

The business opened in 1990 as a single salon in McLean, Virginia, and has since grown to a multi-location group. The business states it has more than 30 years of experience in Old Town Alexandria and its community. Its own materials cite a 1992 top-salon designation from Washingtonian Magazine and later recognition from several local publications, which the business presents as its own claims.

The salon's approach centers on conversation. Each appointment is described as a partnership between stylist and client, and stylists consider how a client lives, works, and moves through the day, not just inspiration photos. The stated method is to listen, advise on the right service, and then let the client choose the final look. Every service begins with a consultation, which is complimentary and recommended for new guests. Consultations can also be requested online, and a stylist can be matched to a client through a short Stylist Match quiz. The business describes its visits as elevated and unrushed.

The salon's own education program began in 1996, and it held its first PR Awards competition in 2000, repeating it each year. The PR Academy opened in 2017 in Manassas, where the location is called Salon, Spa and Academy. The business says it invests in advanced stylist education, and its stylists have taken part in events including Intercoiffure, Wella education seminars, Sebastian's What's Next Awards, and New York Fashion Week.

Quotes depend on the service, the stylist and the location, and the salon will provide one before a visit is booked. Appointments can be made by phone or online, with a preferred location selected at booking. Changes or cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice. A cancellation given 12 to 24 hours ahead incurs half the service price, while one given less than 12 hours ahead or a missed appointment incurs the full price. Any outstanding penalty must be settled before new appointments can be scheduled. A credit card must be provided to secure a first visit and any service anticipated to take more than two to three hours.

Stylists advise on the right service and let clients make the final call, with each appointment treated as a shared process between stylist and client.
