RELATIONSHIPS: OUR SECRET TO “BEST OF RICHMOND”

We simply guarantee to deliver the level of service you’ve been looking for.

You’ll first notice the difference when you walk in the door, and we call you by name. We believe in the power of relationship, which is why we’ve been honored with so many of Richmond’s Best Of Awards: Best Salon, Best Spa, and multiple Best Hairstylist honorees, year after year.

For over 25 years, no matter what service you’re here for, or who it’s with, every team member offers the highest level of guest care. With three convenient locations around Richmond (Midlothian, Short Pump and Hull Street), Salon del Sol isn’t just a Richmond institution—it’s a family. We even have multiple generations working together, and you’re a part of our family, from your very first visit.

WE CARE– WITH CONSISTENCY

You’re here because you’re looking for a change. Whether it’s big or small, we can promise you a consistent experience of excellence, infused with the utmost care, at every visit. Our staff’s low turnover rate, unusual in today’s environment, is a testament to our approach of care. We approach each guest, and each other, with respect, and from a place of service– each and every time.

ONGOING EXCELLENCE, AT ALL BUDGETS

Our Ongoing Education Program has produced many of Richmond’s top stylists. In fact, 90% of our Master Stylists started their careers with us as an apprentice, and are now teaching Richmond’s next generation of talented hairstylists. Because of this innovative training program, we’re able to offer our guests a wide range of pricing, while delivering the excellence we’re known for. From Apprentice to Master, there’s a stylist who matches your budget, and your personal preferences.

We stay cutting-edge. Trends constantly evolve. That’s why every few months, we bring in the best international Aveda educators to continuously advance our skills. By consistently evolving our techniques, we stay ahead of what our guests are asking for (and have way more fun as artists- learn more about Careers with us).

OUR CAUSES

Choosing our salon is your vote of support for:

  • The Environment
    As an Aveda salon, the wellbeing of the planet (and our community) is always on our minds. Choosing products that are 100% vegan, cruelty free, and sustainably sourced, is the ultimate way to say, “We care,” together.Through Earth Month and ongoing initiatives, we’ve raised over $100,000 for the James River Association. We continue to support ongoing improvements for our beloved natural resource.
  • The Community
    Other ongoing areas of community involvement include service work with Richmond’s homeless population and fundraising for the March of Dimes.
