Hair by Annissa

I’m not a perfect stylist by any means but after 12 years I know a heck of a lot more than I use to.

I know that if you have probably have had some messed up hair cuts ESPECIALLY if you have curly hair.

And so with that knowledge it’s important I do my due diligence and get to know what works for you and what doesn’t.

I share this because one of the things I’m proud of is taking your experience and my expertise to collaborating on a plan that suits you.

You are a unique person with unique needs I don’t think one size fits all and I treat it as an honor to be a part of your hair journey 🫶🏻

And if our paths never cross again but you want to take one thing away from this. If you aren’t feeling heard in the salon find someone willing to ask questions and dive a little deeper.

If you come in for an appointment I’m likely going to ask a lot of questions. I want to understand what you’re doing, what’s working and what’s NOT.

If you like a style that isn’t “on trend” but it’s how you best feel like yourself then I’m gonna give you the style you like.

If you want something that doesn’t work well for your lifestyle and desired upkeep I’m going to tell you. And then we have the opportunity to discuss what will work and collaborate on the end result.

I ask questions that allow me to understand what you want and where you might need guidance. I’m here to walk along side you in this hair journey.

Not just take what I think would be fun and run with it to make the appointment go by faster.

If you aren’t getting what you want out of your hair find a stylist that will sit down and communicate with you in a way you feel understood. That isn’t too much to ask ❤️

And if you are a stylist trying to level up how you communicate with your clients more than happy to send you my consultation outline.

When you want the “mom bob” but elevated ✨

There’s a host of reasons that someone might cut their hair postpartum:

•Postpartum hair loss
•Less time for hair care
•Baby pulling on the hair
•Wanting to mark this big life event with a hair transformation

But all these reasons are a way to feel more beautiful and confident as a mom.

I’m here to help bring together what works practically and what makes you feel amazing.

What kind of look makes you feel most like yourself?

Not every great stylist is going to be a great stylist for YOU.

Look for someone who shows the values, communication style, and skill set your hair deserves.

And as always if you are in the DMV and think we’d be a great match don’t be shy! I promise I don’t bite. And bonus, if I don’t think I’d be a good fit for your needs I’m happy to refer you to other options of amazing hairstylists I’m meeting every week here in Alexandria!

Have you been curious about what gray blending is?

It’s an easy way to
✨lightly color the white hairs
✨incorporate your natural hair color
✨allow transitions to other color options
✨go longer between touch up appointments

Opting for this service takes away
❌ constant noticeable growth every 3-4 weeks
❌ flat lifeless color
❌ damaging hair from bleach and color
❌ quitting color cold turkey to go natural

Here is a great example of what you can expect the result of a gray blending color. Will it completely make the whit hairs go away? No!

But if you want your gray and white hairs to not feel so stark while keeping a natural low maintenance look this is the service for you.
