Our Story

A neighborhood salon since 1984.

Founded by Shiva Iman on Braddock Road in 1984. Carried forward by Lisa Nguyen, and now led by owner Sabina Thapaliya - three owners, four decades, one unwavering commitment.

Our stylists average over twenty years of experience each. Many of our clients have been with us across multiple decades and generations of their family. We've stayed open through trends, recessions, and a pandemic because the people who walk through our door keep coming back.
