About

Owned and run by Robin Mardenborough, who has been part of the Hampton Roads hair and makeup community for more than 15 years, the salon describes itself as a pampering escape where guests can take time for self care. Its stated aim is to help guests transform through beauty-based self care, in a space meant to feel welcoming and calm.

The menu is organized into named groups. Hair work covers cuts, color, silk presses, crochet, sew-ins, quick weaves, locs, wet sets and updos. Let's Get Chemical covers relaxers and color, Make Me Glamorous covers extensions, Keep It Healthy covers protective styles such as braids, cornrows and wigs, and Lather It Up covers deep conditioning, hot oil and keratin treatments. Many services are priced differently for relaxed and natural hair, so clients with natural hair should choose the natural hair add-on when booking. Extra fees may apply based on hair length, density and texture.

Beyond hair, the salon offers full face makeup with optional lashes, mink lash sets and strips, waxing for brows, lips, chin, sideburns, underarms and chest, four facial services, and beard grooming for men. The Simplistic Bridal Makeover is provided in the salon and includes a hairstyle, a facial mask, a drink, fresh fruit and a cheese and cracker assortment; it requires a consultation and a 50% deposit, and trial hairstyles are available on request. The Luxurious Bridal Makeover includes a day-before hair prep and day-of styling at the wedding venue, including placing a headpiece. Travel within a 20 to 30 minute radius is included, and anything beyond that carries an additional fee.

Most appointments require a $25 non-refundable, transferable deposit. Specialty services such as extensions, creative color, trendy styles and bridal packages require a 50% to 75% non-refundable, transferable deposit. New clients pay a $15 consultation fee, added at booking or at the end of the first service. Last-minute cancellations made less than 24 hours ahead carry a 50% fee, and no-call, no-show appointments carry 75%. Arrivals after a 15-minute grace period may pay a $15 late fee, and if the stylist has no room the appointment must be rescheduled. Credit card payments carry a 5% charge, and a $5 fee applies when the stylist must buy hair, product or equipment for a service. Children are allowed in the salon only while receiving a service. Hours are Wednesday 9:30am to 1:30pm and Thursday and Friday 9:30am to 5:30pm Eastern Time, closed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.

Built on beauty-based self care, with the goal of helping guests transform and feel their best. The salon describes its color services as healthy coloring techniques meant to keep hair strong.

A welcoming space meant for guests to unwind.
