Jon Ric International Salon and Spa

I was looking for a new place for my hair and spa services being that I just relocated to Alexandria, VA from Connecticut. I'm so happy that I found Jon'Ric International. I got it right the first time and never have to look for anywhere else to go. They have it all, which eliminates the running around from place to place. This was an issue I had back in Connecticut. Everyone at Jon'Ric was so pleasant and they embraced me as soon as I walked in the door. I've never felt more at home. I also saw a professional athlete and a local political figure getting services. This really raised my comfort level!!!

I must admit that I was a little skeptical from reading a couple of the negative reviews. However, I live so close to Jon'Ric that I had to experience it for myself because of the convenience and I must say that I'm very happy that I did. It was the best decision of my life. This place is just Awesome! My services couldn't have been anymore perfect.

I asked the staff if they knew about some of the reviews on this site and they acknowledged that they did. They were somewhat hesitant in discussing salon business but I'm that type of person that has to know just because of my profession and background. I was informed that it was a former employee upset with management because she was fired for improper and unethical conduct. All I want to say to this unhappy person is that she should be very ashamed of herself. I relocated to Alexandria because I work with a high profile attorney. I think that there is something that we can do to resolve this kind of lude behavior.

To the staff of Jon'Ric - Keep up the EXCELLENT work! This is Mrs. Heather Dubious and I'll see you guys very soon.

Ok so based on reviews you want to go to this place.The people were really nice.The experience not the greatest.The hair cut was horrible I came out looking like a mushroom. Kind of like the brady bunch mom's hair cut. All I wanted was my hair thined and my face framed as I am growing my hair out.Well about four inches were cut off I was given horrible layers that did not blend well.The color is ok.I got high lights.She overprocessed some areas and there are a few globby looking spots where she didn't sepreate the hair that was getting highlighted from the rest of the hair.Also the shampoo girl is very rough.Alot of yanking of hair and scraping of my scalp.Develop your skills and listen to the customer and you will do well.Won't go to the same girl but will try one more time I think.

Great place and great work!!! I also saw 2 high profile TV figures come in and get serviced. WOW!!!

I am so shocked to see even 1 bad review about Jon' Ric. I have been going there and having my hair done for almost 2 yrs now. My stylist is great. The ambience is wonderful. I don't know of many salons that call you and/or email you to remind you of your appt. You alone are responsible for remembering your appt. I do not know of many hair salons that offer you a cold bottle of water to drink while you're there. I've even been there on some days when they offer doughnuts, snack cakes, or some sort of bread and dip. I've never been to aa hair salon that catored to their clientele in such a wonderful way. Most salons may have soda or snack machines for you to purchase items, but never complimentary. Clients and employees may enjoy themselves talking to one another, but I personally have never found Jon' Rics to be so loud that I felt uncomfortable or was unable to relax while I was there. I have actually called for an appt and could not get one because my stylist was booked, so I came in and stayed for hrs until my stylist could fit me in. I enjoyed myself while there. Everyone is very sociable and friendly. I have also had times where I my stylist was out of town and I went into the salon and had my hair done by one of the other stylists. So, as I said before I cannot understand why that salon would ever recieve an unfavorable review. Are these people sure they went to Jon'Ric Alexandria? Maybe it was one of the other salons in the area and they are confused.

I have to say that I went into this salon hoping it would be good because it was near my home, seemed like it was big enough to accommodate flexible schedules and last minute appointments, good name, etc. I dropped in mid to late afternoon. Even though only one customer there, I honestly got the impression I was troubling them by coming in for service. The receptionist was on the phone and did not acknowledge my presence. When she did, she was unpleasant, and seemed reluctant to set me up with a technician. I was given to a woman who apparently was not well liked by the others because they kept talking about her behind her back (right in front of her). It was very uncomfortable. They also came up to me--the customer--and complained about and questioned her work. I felt terrible for the girl who did my hair, so tried to ignore it. I was charged for a service I did not get -- the one they were arguing about,and I did not want to put her through more trouble. I raised it with the receptionist and she looked at me like I had two heads, so I just paid and got out of there, knowing I would not go back. Awful experience. I was going to call the management, but honestly, did not think it would help, and I never wanted to go back in there, so just let it go. Ran across this listing and decided to share.sorry Jean ric

By the name, you would expect a high end salon & spa when walking into this Slaters Lane, Alexandria establishment; but what you get is something less than expected. I had high hopes for this salon, but was left disappointed. After calling weeks in advance to schedule an appointment for a manicure/pedicure, I arrive to the spa to find out that they were understaffed and there would be a 30 minute wait. Mind you, once I walked in I wasn't immediately notified of this considering I wasn't greeted because the person behind the desk was on a personal phone call for a lengthy period of time. Once I was having a pedicure, although the technician did a good job and was a pleasant person, it was a very slow process and the person could have been more attentive. She was kind of fluttering all over the place, while I just sat there. It took close to 90 minutes for my pedicure to be finished and it wasn't because I was relaxing for a period of time.By the time I got my nails done, it was over 2.5 hours just for two services. That is a long time, nor does it include the 30 minutes I waited in the beginning. I thought the manager should have said something or offered some kind of discount or incentive since they were there and aware. The music was also too loud and was more suitable for a upbeat salon, but since this is also considered a spa, the music wasn't appropriate. All in all, I won't be coming back, nor will I be recommending to my friends.

The spa pedicure was relaxing and invigorating. They are not a hurry up and get you out of the chair spa. They take their time and make the experience worth it. the leg wrap and scrub are great.

The acrylic fill was done with precise detail and was the first time in a long time I did not leave a salon with cut cuticles.

I would recommend this salon/spa to everyone.

I loved it! It held a certain ambiance which I felt when I walked in the door. The staff was very professional. I had the swedish massage which left my body feeling great all day. I would definitely recommend this salon. And, I will definitely be returning

So I went into Jon'Ric for my first massage. It was a very pleasurable experience. The salon seems well kept and the staff was very friendly and courteous. I would definitely go back.

This place is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! The ambiance and the decor are very relaxing and inviting. The prices are more than reasonable, I am a true believer you get what you pay for, the professionalism and the relaxing atmosphere made my experience at Jon'RicPRICELESS!!
