Absolutely loved my experience with Hava! She really listened to what I wanted and absolutely nailed the color and cut. She gave my brunette hair so much beautiful, natural-looking dimension while keeping it rich and healthy-looking. Everything blends so seamlessly and the final result feels polished, soft, and so…

Edit: Since Google won’t let me leave another review, I’m adding to my original. A year later, and I still can’t recommend Yvonne and this salon enough. Each time I come, I know that I will be happy with the cut and color. Yvonne is highly knowledgeable, friendly, and makes sure that she understands what you want so…

Not a good haircut, and salon should be cleaner. I expected more for this price. The workers were nice though.

New to area so it’s my first time coming here. I wanted something not too light as I don’t normally get my hair colored. Hava gave me exactly what I wanted. I wanted dimensions on my hair, so she gave me a full balayage with medium brown color. Found my go-to salon 😌

This was my first appointment. I came to Yvonne with a case of a really bad hair box dye accident. She was able to completely transform my hair. Her assistant, Zianni did a wonderful job with hair wash, treatments and the blow out. Despite being an introvert, I felt very comfortable. The salon has a lovely…

Yvonne is unbelievably amazing for blondes, and that’s an understatement. I’ve had some bad experiences with stylists who didn’t understand that I have very fine hair and need someone who cares about the longterm. I move around a lot, and always find it challenging to book with someone experienced with ash blonde,…

Hava really knows her curls! This was the first curly cut I've gotten and she did such an incredible job. I was going for a curly bob which is especially challenging and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend.

I came to Cavalry Salon in May 2026 for a partial balayage with Yvonne, the salon owner. I brought clear inspiration photos — including photos of my own hair from 2022 — showing a soft, dimensional brunette with preserved natural depth and a darker root. My goal was subtle dimension added to my natural brunette, not…

I have been going here since they opened and Yvonne's previous location in Alexandria many many years ago. The best haircuts over the course of my entire childhood! The owner, Yvonne, is a beauty guru. I highly recommend her styling services. I am so thankful for Cavalry Salon.
