Most of the trends that you see in Hollywood and on instagram. Natural painted highlights to create a dramatic contrast of subtle sun-kissed look. This style is the most graceful grow out for lower maintenance. Trust this is probably what you want. (Toners included) **This service DOES NOT include a haircut or blowdry. If you would like a haircut or blow dry please book either service as an additional service AFTER the processing time for your color or highlight service.**

I LOVE the style studio and have been going here for the last few years consistently. My hair has never been healthier and Kiara has a wonderful demeanor. I usually come for a silk press, but exclusively see Kiara for my color and extensions - she’s simply the best!...more

Kiara is my GO-TO hair stylist! From the professionalism, to the creativity I know I can always count on her to get me photo shoot ready. Hair health as well as being able to work out are both priority for me, and she has really been able to help me maintain the integrity of both when I run out of ideas. She's also AMAZING with hair color and now that I think about it, I need to see what we can cook up next lol....more

Kiara has been working magic on my hair since 2019. The first time she gave me a cut and color was when she was still in DC. She talked me through what she thought would be the best style, color, and tone for my hair. Even though I gave her a very vague description of what I wanted, she achieved exactly what I had in mind. During the pandemic, Kiara opened her own studio in Alexandria and at that time I wasn’t able to see her. I went to two different hair dressers for cut/color and none of them were able to provide the look that Kiara gives me every time. Never again. Although I still live in DC, I make the trip to Alexandria every 6-8 weeks because I do not trust my hair with anyone else!! As a blonde, it can be hard to find a colorist who is able to achieve a non-brassy yet modern look and Kiara does just that. She has a natural talent for working with hair of all colors and textures. I have reccomended her to all of my friends because I want them to feel just as confident and beautiful as I do leaving her studio ❤️...more

How often should I refresh Balayage/Foilayage (over 12 weeks) color, and what maintenance is recommended?
