Another vote for Sami at Frizzles in Old Town. The guy is a magician with hair!

Frizzles in Old Town might work. They do a decent job on my husband's thick curly hair. sammi and ruby seem to be especially good.

I'm looking for an Alexandria stylist recommendation for someone who can cut/style thick curly hair, and won't leave me looking like I have a triangle head when I let my hair air dry. I found a good salon that does Dominican style blow outs when I want it straightened, but for the summer months when it's so humid, I'd rather not fight back the curls.
