Lulu Sage Salon and Spa, named in a fun way after owner Cindy Sage, is a fabulous new addition to the salon and spa scene here in Old Town Alexandria. Located a bit off the beaten path on Madison Street in the north end of town, Lulu Sage brings a little different salon atmosphere to the area.

I asked what prompted Sage to open her own salon after being in the business for 22 years. She told me that after spending that many years working for someone else, it was her time to shine. When asked what she thought set Lulu Sage apart, Cindy said, “When I decided to open a salon of my own, I wanted an upscale salon but I also wanted it to be designed in a way that made it a comfortable and approachable environment for clients to relax and be pampered. The concept here at Lulu is to make your beauty regimen something to look forward to rather than another thing on your “to do” list.”  I can confirm the fact that she got what she wanted. The salon is indeed both upscale and inviting.

While the “hair is the thing”, the salon and spa offers a full line of services for your nails and skin – all offered in a variety of price ranges that make for a very affordable experience as well as a very enjoyable one. All services are listed on their website at lulusagesalonandspa.com and are too numerous to print in the space allotted here. On a personal note, being at the age where the “crows feet” and “smile lines” are a little more obvious than they were 10 years ago, I am happy to say that they have a “Four Layer Facial” that is designed for women in my age range (let’s just say 40-60) that sounds fabulous and I am definitely going to have one in the near future. Look the description up on the website or call and ask for the details!

In addition to all of the above, Lulu Sage uses only quality products including the likes of J.Beverly Hills, Goldwell and Kerastase, most of which are available for purchase. In the very near future, you will be able to enjoy a nice glass of wine in addition to the already available espresso and soft drinks they offer you during your salon experience!

With Valentine’s Day creeping up on us, I encourage you all to think about treating your loved one to a Lulu Sage experience. Maybe the “Lulu Sage Signature Facial” for her and the “Just For Him” facial for that special guy in your life!!
