About

The Beautiful Life is a hair salon in Fairfax, Virginia, in Building K on Braddock Road. Its work centers on luxury hair extensions, dimensional color and bridal styling, with hair treatments, brow and lash tinting and waxing alongside. Appointments are booked online through its Square booking page, and gift cards can be bought online for a future visit or as a present.

Extensions are offered by consultation only. The salon works with Invisible Bead, Keratin-Tip, Tape-In and CombLine methods. Invisible bead extensions are designed to keep beads off the scalp, limit tension and hide connections, and the salon says they are comfortable and fully styleable. Keratin-tip extensions come in over 90 shades. Tape-ins are made by Babe Hair Extensions, can be installed in as little as 45 minutes and are removed professionally with Babe's bond remover. CombLine works with a client's favorite hair brand and is designed to pair with existing clip-in or adhesive extensions. Removal is charged per hour.

Color options run from toner, glazing and root retouches through highlights, lowlights, balayage and foilayage, including face framing and multi-dimensional color. Bleach retouch and a double-process bleach-and-lighten are also offered. For smoothing, the salon offers a Smooth and Keratin treatment, which it says lasts up to five months, an Express Keratin blow out and a Japanese straightening system. Brow lamination, brow and lash tinting are available, and the salon says its tint results last up to 6 weeks.

Bridal work begins with a consultation and a bridal trial, followed by planning follow-up and a team approach on the wedding day. Bridal hair and makeup trials, bridal party services and in-salon bridal styling are offered. The salon works with a makeup artist so the hair and makeup look coordinated. It describes its bridal work as high end and says it serves brides in Virginia, along the East Coast and nationwide. Clients also receive 15% off a pre-wedding makeup lesson or corrective facial at Lara Skincare Studio, a skincare studio the salon works alongside.

The salon is open Monday and Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Saturday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and is closed Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Travel fees are $50 within 25 miles and $100 on location. A late, cancellation or no-show fee applies, with the amount varying.
