Holistic Hair Studio is incredible. Every detail is thought out by Leah and she is very conscientious about creating a sustainable, safe studio. I love the vibe, all the hair stylists, and the quality of hair cuts and color. I regularly go to Amy and am always so happy when I leave. Highly recommend and am so glad Holistic Hair Studio exists.

Local gem, Holistic Hair Studio, is hands-down my favorite hair studio in Old Town Alexandria. Leah is talented, attentive, highly experienced, and I always leave with my hair feeling healthy and refreshed. My usual is a long haircut, wash, and styling. The deep conditioning treatment is also an excellent add-on service.

The studio space is beautiful, warm, and calming. Leah uses natural and organic products, offers a cup of tea during your service, and makes the whole visit feel relaxing and personal. The studio also throws lovely client appreciation events and non-profit fundraiser events throughout the year!

I highly recommend Leah to anyone looking for a wonderful stylist in Alexandria.

From the moment you walk in, you can tell Leah has thought carefully about every detail. The space has a genuinely relaxing vibe, and knowing she uses non-toxic products makes it easy to unwind without a second thought. This isn't a salon where you're shuffled between stylists or left waiting — Leah gives you her full attention from cut to dry to style, and it shows in the results.

Her level of skill and expertise is obvious, but what really sets her apart is how personal the whole experience feels. You leave not just with a great haircut, but with the sense that you were genuinely taken care of. It's clear this isn't just a job for her — it's a craft she's committed to, and that dedication comes through in every appointment.

If you're looking for a salon that treats you as a whole person rather than a slot on the schedule, Holistic Hair is it. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Holistic Hair Studio! I got a curly cut from Mikaela. This was the best haircut and styling I’ve ever gotten! She listened to what I wanted & fully delivered!

I have discovered this enchanting hair studio in 2025 and could not be happier with the way my hair look and feel. This place is like no other in the National Capital Region (NCR) beyond relaxing and stunning experience, it supports and practices healthy and sustainable approach to all their hair related services. Equally important, these natural, chemical and fragrance free treatments really work and leave you with beautiful long lasting results (e.g. my blond face framing highlights never faded away or got yellowish discoloration, but rather seamlessly and naturally blended with my natural hair color for months). This is all priceless to me. That is not it though. Equally important here is the ambience Leah and her staff members create. A warm, welcoming and serene space. This is not just a salon for Leah, but an environment where she can utilize her professional skills to spread awareness on existing ways in treating hair in a safe and healthy way without losing quality, form, color aka the magical results.

Thank you Leah!

My granddaughter got fairy hair for her birthday. She got to pick her colors. The process was easy. Finished product was perfect!

Morin T.

This review is LONG overdue. I came from LA where non-toxic hair salons were abundant- and I was so worried I wouldn't be able to find one here. And Holistic Hair studio honestly blew my expectations out of the water. They had all my favorite Oway products (seriously so many), amazing herbal teas, oracle cards and crystals everywhere....I mean if I had to imagine my perfect hair salon and create it this would be it. It's so cute. And you can tell how much love Leah has poured into this place. Not only that but shes a wealth of knowledge in terms of a non-toxic environmentally friendly lifestyle AND hair. She's clearly passionate about both and it shows in both the way she does hair and the way she's set up the salon. Also she does events! Don't walk...RUN here and make this your new spot. It's better for your hair, the environment and your soul!

Stefanie R.

I have a wonderful experience every time at Holistic Hair Studio; the scalp treatment left my hair feeling rejuvenated and they are amazing at cutting thick hair. Highly recommend!

Helen R.

Love the green plants and their ambiance. Skilled colorist. Chose this place for less toxic dyes.

Jackie J.

Sima was wonderful. Her care and recommendations were on point. I absolutely love my cut, she really listened to me. The color was wonderful too but the cost was a bit much and had the feeling of nickel and diming to get the price up. I'd go back for hair cuts absolutely and I'd recommend them. Just be prepared for the cost.

Renee C.

Leah, the owner, I met at an event and was given free samples of the curly hair bath and mask and couldn't wait to try them! Loved the products and set up a curly cut with her. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming, asked questions about my hair to understand my hair type and did a fantastic job as curly hair is temperamental! My hair and curls look and feel better!! good curly stylists (who also cut other types of hair) are hard to find. Also the products are great and worth it.

Deborah B.

This review is two weeks overdue. I went to Leah to get a regular hair cut but I walked out totally transformed. I don't know if it's the calming atmosphere of her studio, the friendly vibes, the beautiful crystals adorning every room, or maybe the honestly sustainable and regenerative products she uses, but the transformation was astonishing! I still feel it two weeks later. I sat at the chair, embarrassed with the frizzled and unkempt hair I presented, asking her to cut it all off. She gently guided me back to neutral, and although it seemed she only trimmed the tiniest amount, by the time she was done I felt like the Pantene woman (although with non-toxic products in my hair!) The rest of that day I received complements from friends, family and strangers. This studio knows hair! I cannot recommend it enough. Go. You won't be mad. Thank you Leah :)

Annette S.

Sima did a wonderful job with my highlights - she listened to what I wanted to achieve and executed it perfectly. I wanted natural looking highlights (i.e. nothing chunky) that would also help blend in the grays primarily clustered on the top of my head in my center part into my lighter brown hair. She picked out a toner that was just the right shade that complimented my natural hair color (I had never gotten highlights before, so I was really clueless as to what would look good). The final result is fantastic and looks really natural. Will be going back! Thank you, Sima!

Kate H.

As someone who is super picky about who does my hair and how they do it, I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with my treatment here! And to top it all I know it’s all very good product in my hair at a fair price too. I went for a blonde tone and was happy with the shift. Thanks Amy🔆 highly recommend this spot!

Beth K.

My mother came to visit and we took her to our favorite hair studio. We both got cuts but she had 6+ inches removed. Sima did an AMAZING "mama makeover." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Susan

Sima gives me an excellent haircut everytime. I won't go anywhere else. Hard to find talent with my hair.

Kristen A.

I started going to Holistic Hair Studio earlier this year and I could not be happier with the results! Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming, and Leah is super great about helping me figure out what I want for my curly hair. She has even followed up with me to make sure the cut dried how I wanted once I washed at home, showing how much she truly cares about her work and clients! Highly recommend this studio.

Kristin N.

I would give Holistic Hair Studio 20 stars if I could. Every aspect of my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. My fine, thin hair has seen remarkable improvement and growth thanks to Amy Hardar’s expert styling and skill with organic color/products. The salon itself is beautiful - such a warm and comforting environment with lots of plants and natural elements. Amy and Leah are wonderful - welcoming, friendly, professional and so very skilled and talented in styling. I tried many salons before discovering Holistic Hair Studio (when it was first BellaWest several years ago) and I am confident in saying this is undeniably the best studio out there.

Elizabeth N.

Highly recommend Holistic Hair! Both Amy and Leah are great. As a new client, we worked together to get my cut right. I changed my mind about the length of my layers after a week and Leah was totally open to me coming back and making tweaks. Oh, the the blowout I got from Amy was 🔥!

Meghan G.

I love coming here! Appointments are easy to make, and the staff is very welcoming. Amy has helped me venture into new hair styles and always delivers a result that exceeds my expectations. Always a lovely experience!

Randie P.

Sarah C.

I’ve trusted holistic hair studio with my hair for 6 years now and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m always well-informed and regularly educated, which I really value in my self care endeavors. It’s not just about my vanity there, but it doesn’t hurt that it looks fantastic every time and I receive compliments even up until my next appt. It stays so fresh. I highly encourage investing in this type of hair care. You won’t be disappointed.

SOMD Vegan Events

I've been a big fan of Holistic Hair Studio for a few years now and every time I visit, I know I'm going to have a phenom experience with Amy. She always knows exactly what I'm aiming for and makes great suggestions for adding something fun (like some purple). :-) Also, I greatly appreciate that the products are vegan + cruelty-free + organic: a win-win for all.

Carol C.

Leah at Holistic Hair Studio is just great! She was so kind and accommodating to cut my hair outdoors on a sunny afternoon. She did a beautiful job and I love the new style. Also at this studio they understand the importance of healthy, organic and good environmental practices in hair care. It's a rare find and I'll be back soon!

Joy A.

This was one of the best hair experiences I have encountered. Leah is so talented. She cut and blowdried my hair. People were asking me for days where I had my hair done. I would recommend this salon highly and give it 5 stars. You won't be disappointed. It is a real find.

Ishani G.

Holistic Hair Studio (and Leah, the owner) is the best. I'm very conscious about the products I use in my hair and Leah uses all organic & natural products - and she's great at her job! Her studio truly is holistic and she will take great care of you - and help you learn more about your hair/body. I highly recommend this studio!

Bryce L.

My fiancé and I both used this salon for our haircuts, she’s straight haired and I’m curly haired. She got layers with curtain bangs with Leah and I got a mullet with Amy. The ladies they’re were so friendly and professional. I bet they can do almost any hairstyle you can think of and highly recommend them if you’re looking for a new salon to go to!

Genovi J.

Got my hair trimmed with Leah!! Her and Amy were so friendly and welcoming!! Salon was clean and super aesthetically pleasing. Thanks so much for the cut!!! My hair feels great :)

Hayley R.

This hair studio is really lovely!! Leah did an amazing job with my curly hair, asked if it was okay before applying products to my hair, and gave me information on what each product did. Will absolutely be coming back :)

Liliana M.

Amy is fantastic! She is a master with color. I always walk away loving my hair. The salon has a quaint and relaxing vibe. Highly recommend.

Leah was super sweet and very welcoming! it was my first time in a salon in super long time but it was great!! will be back soon :)
