PHD Salon & Spa in Alexandria, VA

Walked in to book an appointment in person for the next day and the lady was so kind. The last haircut I got was a really long time ago and I was very nervous for it but the lady was very understanding of what I wanted. I showed her the picture and explained the haircut. A lot of places even after seeing the inspiration picture never do justice (at least in my experience) but not here! The haircut came out exactly like the picture, I loved it. The salon was so conveniently close and clean plus their reviews were awesome. Definitely recommend coming here!

Yorda always gives my super fine hair a fantastic cut- a feat not done well by many a stylist. I followed her her from her previous salon and could not recommend her more highly.

The salon is clean and full parking lot available which is great. Yorda is fantastic! Her attention to detail and thoroughness with my balayage and cut are always perfect each time. Highly recommend her! The salon also has nail services so you can get everything done in the same place. I will continue going back!

Children's Haircut - Kathy did a wonderful job with our 3-year old son - who is a bit anxious and wiggly during his haircuts. She was patient and professional. His hair looks great. Her assistant, Louie (French bulldog) was a special treat and welcome distraction, too! We are so excited to have found our new go-to location.

Went here to get an appointment for my Mom who was due for a haircut. She did not trust me enough to cut her a straight medium length bob, whereas I have her trim my hair during this pandemic. LOL! I was able to get an appointment within a week and the stylist Luis gave the option to have her wash her hair at home with shampoo and conditioner and arrive with wet hair or use the communal hair washing bowl. He assured that they clean it after every use, but it is about what my (elderly) mother was comfortable with. She elected to show up with wet hair. Writing this review based on her feedback, as I only dropper her off and picked her up. You are allowed to wait in the waiting area, with mask and chairs a spread out to comply social distancing. She reported that when you enter and before you get seated in your chair, they ask you to wash your hands. While you are washing your hands she observed that Luis was sanitizing the chair at his station and placed a fresh plastic covering on it. My mother was asked to remove the mask from the ear loops and hold it against her mouth and face. The tools were in the typical sanitizing fluid at the station. The stylist was wearing a mask the entire time. She felt save with the covid precautions taken. Sidenote: my mom is in the high-risk age category and has not really gone outside doing "normal" things since march. So this haircut was a treat but also only allowed thanks to the precautions PhD for Hair was doing. She said she will go back to get her hair colored.
