I use stylist Sophia, who is fantastic!
I get so many compliments from complete strangers on my hair after Sophia cuts and colors it. The one thing I love is that she understands when you want to keep your hair long and will not chop if off when you need a trim! My hair always comes out looking great and the color is rich and beautiful!

For approximately the past six months, I have had the pleasure of being one of Stephanie's clients.  Reflections of You is a wonderful salon where clients are treated with kindness and courtesy.  Stephanie is an absolute genius!  I came to her with a crazy hair situation which included a dramatic two-toned dye job, a Japanese straightening, a retexturizing treatment, and all the damage to prove it!  I requested a gorgeous light golden blonde hue, which she managed to achieve on the first try, despite all of my hair complexities!  Since my first appointment, I have continued to get light golden blonde color, which has improved over time in terms of brightness and shine.  In addition, Stephanie has given me two Brazilian blowouts, which have been a lifesaver in terms of taming my naturally wavy, poofy, fuzzy, frizzy hair.  Stephanie has also given me great haircuts, although I have requested minimal trimming because I am trying to grow my hair out.  In addition to being extremely skillful, talented, and meticulous, Stephanie is a super sweet gal, and I look forward to hanging out with her just as much as I look forward to the actual hair maintenance.

If you are searching for an amazing stylist/colorist, get in touch with Katelynn. She knows color like no other. She is a great stylist as well. I have never been happier with my cut and color. I completely trust her instincts and go with them. If you are searching for a wonderful stylist/colorist, see Katelynn you will not be disappointed!

My stylist, Bea Borris, blows me away every time she cuts and highlights my hair. She does the EXACT way I had pictured in my head that I imagined I would look. Currently, she is helping me plan my hair for my wedding and I trust her completely. She's thought of everything plus ways I didn't think I could do with my medium-length hair. I've been going to her for several years now and I can be fickle when it comes to stylist. I wouldn't go anywhere else! I also love ROY Salon and their staff. They are always welcoming and helpful. The setup is new and relaxing. I love this salon and recommend them to all my friends!

I went here for the first time yesterday and had Ali as my hair stylist. She is beyond great. I didn't really have an idea of the style I wanted, just knew what length. She went over the benefits of the new cut she was going to do, and why other ways would work, but my hair would not benefit from them because of my type of hair. I was completely open to any cut and I love what she did. I love that the salon was very clean, everyone was extremely nice, and they offer beverages (water and tea). I have been to a couple of "high end" salons and this by far was the best one I have ever been too. I plan on only going here and seeing Ali everytime.

My entire family (husband + 2 adult children) all go to this salon!  Bea is amazing: she highlights and styles my daughter's hair to her specifications, she texturizes my husband's and son's very thick unruly hair so that they look very stylish with very little upkeep, and she keeps my white, wiry, thick hair tamed and stylish so that I don't look like an old witch.
The salon is clean and well maintained and all of the staff is very friendly.

What a nice salon! When you first walk in it is clean, neat, and it smells good (not like chemicals and hair products). I have had my hair done there twice now by Ali and it turned out great! Hair color and cut! I am so happy with final results, I felt like I was understood right from the beginning with what I wanted. I was absolutely recommned going here and asking for ALI! Great stylist, professional, and gets it right!

I want to thank Katelyn for doing an amazing job with my hair. I have naturally curly/frizzy hair. Katelynn was excited for me to try the Brazilian Blowout. I have tried other straightening techniques with fair results so I honestly wasn't expecting much. I am blown away by how great my hair looks. It has been over 16 weeks, through the heat and humidity of summer, and my hair still looks wonderful.
Aside from walking out with a great style, I thoroughly enjoyed the time with Katelynn. She was a delight to work with and went above and beyond helping me find products and showing me techniques to help me keep my hair looking great as long as possible. Her outgoing and genuinely kind personality helped make the process fly by. I cannot wait to work with Katelynn again. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Katelynn is hands down the best stylist that I have ever had.  She listens to what I want from my cut or color and has the skills to make it happen.  She helped me restore my "natural" blonde color while adding the most beautiful highlights.  I don't understand all the art and chemistry behind it, but thankfully she does.  Even my husband noticed the shimmer and depth (his word) that she added to my hair.  She has a great personality and is extremely thoughtful.  What a gem!  The products are great too.   I really hope this studio thrives.

Reflections of You has chosen a winner when hiring Ashley MacKinnon as one of their stylists.  Ashley's personality is infectious and makes getting your hair done a treat.  I am a very difficult customer but Ashley always does exactly what I want and I am satisfied every time.  She always offers great tips and advice every time I meet with her and goes above and beyond to meet my expectations.  Thanks Ashley for a great salon experience.

This place is really great. I got my hair cut last week by Ali Jackson who was very professional and did a great job on my hair! She also took the time to talk to me about the different techniques/ styles I could do specifically for my hair type. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The place is really clean and everyone there is super friendly, so I will most definitely be coming back!

How to cure a sunburn Reflections of You Salon Fair Lakes

Burn Be Gone! (Sunburn Remedy)

Posted by shearbeautyetc

This past weekend was a beautiful one. As usual I was out in the sun just a little too long. I got horrible sunburn on my thighs as well as other places, but my thighs were definitely the worst. Aloe usually does the trick in a week on a bad sunburn on my skin, but I didn’t have a week to wait. I’m leaving for Vegas on Friday and I needed to tan one more time to get rid of these lines and I can’t do that with a burn!
So I’ll tell you really quickly how I fixed my situation.
I started off like this;

I know the lighting is a bit bad but trust me, I was the most red I think I’ve ever been !!
I took three tea bags of black tea (I just used the Safeway brand) and put them in a pitcher of warm water. I let them “marinate” until the water was about room temperature. I cut up an old t-shirt to use as a rag; you definitely don’t want to use something you expect to use again because you won’t be able to.
Hop in the tub because it will be dripping off of you.
From here you just dip the rag into the pitcher and rub it onto your burnt areas. Some spots I would leave the rag on for a minute or two just to soak it in even more. Also, rubbing the tea bags directly on your skin seems to be very effective. The more you apply the tea to your skin the better results you will see. I spent about twenty minutes or so in my bathtub practically bathing myself in tea. Sexy, I know.
Do not rinse the tea off once you let it dry. You can rinse it off when you shower the following morning but it is best to let it soak over night if possible. No it did not stain my sheets. I also did not reek of tea which was a rather nice surprise.
Here is what I woke up to this morning;

I am very pleased with the results this treatment gave me. Hopefully this gives you some faith that some of these easy home remedies really do work!! I know I’ll be more inclined to try new things at home now!

Summer Frizzy Hair Reflections of You Fairfax & Fair Lakes Hair Salon and Spa

Bye Bye Frizz.

Posted by shearbeautyetc

I thought I had posted this last Wednesday! I guess my iPad died in the middle of it so I’ll post it now. Perfect timing with another thunderstorm coming and all…
Summer gets very busy and the nights and weekends fill up very quickly. And with Summer comes the lovely humidity here in Northern Virginia. If you’re like me and your hair is usually flat it can be kind of nice to get a little fluff from the humidity. But at the end of the day everyone wants the same thing — frizz-free hair.
So lets talk some tips, tricks and products to help you.
#1 Get A Smoothing Treatment
What do I mean by smoothing treatment? Most salons now offer the Brazilian Blowout. Now many salons may have an alternative or something that sounds like a similar name but THERE IS ONLY ONE Brazilian Blowout. Now if you choose this, it comes at a price. Most of the time starting at $350. But have no fear this list continues, there are other solutions besides this pricey treatment.
#2 The Brazilian Blowout Deep Conditioning Masque
If you don’t get the service you can opt for this much less expensive product — usually about $43 per tube. The tube will get you a long way, especially if you aren’t shampooing your hair every day. The masque is the closest product in formula to the actual treatment so it minimizes blow drying time and eliminates frizz. Not to mention it’s also a reconstructor so it improves the overall health of your hair. You can use it with the Brazilian Blowout anti-frizz shampoo even if you don’t have the treatment, or use it with a different sulfate-free shampoo. (Sulfates and alcohol dry out the hair which causes more frizz and breakage).
#3 Embrace Your Curl (or wave, or twist…)
If you have curly hair and it’s frizzy you need to rethink your products. Curly hair is naturally more dry than straight hair so you need to be using moisturizing products. Deva curl, Deva curl, Deva curl! These products work for me, my clients and friends I’ve recommended them too. Again, not all products are for everyone but I believe in these and they have continued to please me. The shampoo is a conditioning cleanser so you don’t have crazy lathering going on to rough up the top of the hair where you get lots of frizz. The conditioner is a leave-in so it continues to moisturize your hair all day. Yes, all day. As long as it’s in your hair. The gel is light so you can control the hold. I kind of like it with a little crisp, but I notice after my hair is 100% dry it feels soft again, and when I shower and rinse it out again, my hair feels like it was just deep conditioned.
#4 Do Not Touch Your Hair Unless It Is Wet Or 100% Dry
This rule kinda goes just for my curly girls. Touching your hair in the in between stage creates frizz and poof. Touch it when it’s wet to put your product in and then let it do it’s thing. Once it’s dry you can fiddle with it but not too much – and definitely do not ever take a comb to your curls. Can you say frizz ball?
#5 Anti-Humidity Hairspray
Since up styles are so in right now (sock buns, top knots, etc) you don’t want to have little curly q’s of frizz framing your face. People shy away from hair spray because they think it makes their hair crunchy or sticky feeling . Let me tell you something, you only think that because 1, you’re overdoing it, or 2, it’s a cheap brand. From my experience I can honestly say you get what you pay for with hairspray. The more expensive ones, and when I say expensive I mean around $19, that’s not even bad, are better for your hair and actually do what they say, and allow you to still run your fingers through your hair without them getting stuck.
My recommendation; Bamboo Anti-Humidity spray by Alterna.

Reflections of You Fairfax salon and spa Honeymoon worthy Pedicures

Honeymoon-Worthy Pedicures

June 10th, 2013 • Posted by REFLECTIONS OF YOU Fairfax • Permalink

If you're planning a post-wedding getaway with your new spouse, a pedicure should be on your to-do list. There's something about candy-colored toes that screams fun in the sun. Here are a few fun and funky nail designs you should consider before jet setting to a tropical paradise.

Go tropical

If you're headed to the land of palm trees and fruity drinks, why not embrace the theme and go with tropical nails? You can get a French manicure with palm tress airbrushed on your big toe. Another option - pink nails with white flowers.

Embrace your inner animal

Nothing says fun like animal prints. Have our manicurist create a cheetah or zebra print on your nails. It might sound like a difficult pattern to create, but artistic ability and technology goes a long way. Our manicurist can do all kinds of crazy designs; so don't be afraid to ask for something out of the ordinary.

Be bold

Don't be afraid to pick a bold color. Rock scarlet red or viper yellow. Colorful toes will add a dash of color to your look. Plus, they compliment just about any kind of sundress and they draw attention to your sun-kissed complexion.

Of course, to show off your fancy pedicure, you'll want to pack several pairs of sandals. Keep a comfortable pair around for the beach, but be sure to break out your strappy sandals for dinner. Nothing showcases a pedicure like sexy sandals.

Get Celebrity Skin with Oxygen Treatments

Spring is upon us and we all know what that means. Our skin is now on full display with that bright sun exposing our every detail, line and blemish. It’s wedding season, party season, and “let’s get outside because it’s beautiful and we can” season. Now imagine what celebrities in the spotlight go through on a daily basis — red carpets, appearances, phot...o shoots. Their skin has to be in tip-top shape all the time and stars like Madonna, Eva Longoria, Victoria Beckham and J-Lo, have all been turning to Hollywood’s best kept secret — oxygen facial treatments.

Our skin needs oxygen to stay healthy, young and hydrated. Most of us simply aren’t getting enough of it because of the pollutants in the air blocking pure oxygen from ever entering our pores. Our poor skin is craving some O² “TLC.”

Oxygen counteracts the free radicals and impurities that damage our skin over time by causing fine lines, wrinkles and dullness. The bottom line: O² = The Fountain of Youth.

Want to feel like a star with beautiful, glowing skin? Then it’s time to “Be Lifted” with the O² Lift by IMAGE Skincare. The O² Lift is a luxury spa oxygen facial treatment that exfoliates and oxygenates the skin while infusing plant-derived stem cells, peptides, and a high concentration of enzymatic botanicals to leave skin glowing and illuminated. By regenerating your skin cells, The O² Lift is automatically turning back the clock on your face, smoothing your fine lines, clearing out impurities and leaving your skin hydrated and healthy.

So don’t step out in the bright spring sun looking dull. Get the celebrity glow and save your skin from damaging free radicals and pollutants with The O² Lift.

Adult acne Fairfax Va. Reflections of You

Acne — It’s Not Just for Teenagers! (Unfortunately…)

Posted on May 29, 2013 by ImageInternational

I’m Stevie, your West Coast blogger. Look for a new post each week as I dive into the latest and greatest skincare trends and topics!

So you thought your acne days were over when you got out of your teens, right? Then you woke up years later, looked in the mirror, and saw that dreaded pimple; a horrible red, inflamed, embarrassing dot that you thought was in your distant past.
Don’t worry – you’re not alone. Adult acne is actually quite common and hopefully after reading this, you’ll feel a little better about your “situation.”
There are a number of contributing factors to adult acne, one of which is a hormone called cortisol. This hormone can increase as a result of stress, diet, PMS or pregnancy. The increase in cortisol causes an excretion of excess oil through your pores, and bam — you’ve got an acne flare-up. You might be surprised to learn that it doesn’t take a crazy amount of stress for this hormone to rise. Things as simple as balancing your work and social life, taking on an extra project, or getting stuck in traffic can cause the release of these hormones.
To help de-stress, get some physical activity every day. It can be as simple as taking a 30-minute brisk walk, or going to a Zumba class after work. Exercise gives us endorphins — the happy hormone! So pump up those endorphins with a little physical activity, and say goodbye to breakout-causing cortisol.
To combat breakouts that do make it past your de-stressing efforts, try using products that are specifically made for breakout prone skin. A wash with salicylic acid is a great option for clearing out your pores and gently exfoliating the skin.
IMAGE has a great acne line called Clear Cell, with a set of products designed for acne-prone, oily skin. In this line you will find a Salicylic Gel Cleanser, Clarifying Tonic, Clarifying Pads, Medicated Acne Lotion with the added benefits of benzoyl peroxide (what I like to refer to as the ”zit-zapper”), an Acne Mask, and a Facial Scrub.
If you are still having problems with persistent, cystic acne, pay a visit to your dermatologist. They may recommend an antibiotic and a topical retinoid to help clear your skin and prevent scaring.
The biggest thing to remember … don’t stress over a pimple here and there. We all get them, and no one is looking at it anyway. They are looking YOU in all your beauty! So dab on some concealer and head out the door, because the best way to prevent those hormonal breakouts is to relax!
