The Beauty Parlor By Q Company

I’m always skeptical when trying a new place. And I have a bad habit of getting lazy with my hair care, as in I might go to one or two appointments with the same stylist like 6 months apart. BUT I have found the Master Stylist I have been searching for here in Ghent. Preston is truly an artist as is every stylist at The Beauty Parlor by Q and Company! They are warm, inviting, hilarious, and über talented. I like to keep things simple because I hate messing up the artistry a stylist takes their time to craft. I’ve been to 3 appointments every 2 weeks like clock work. And I will continue to do so as long as I live in the area. I’m truly impressed and oh so grateful to Preston for what he does for me every visit. He gives the absolute best scalp massage I have ever had in my life! I can’t wait to get my hair done for my bestie’s wedding this summer!
If you haven’t yet PLEASE GO AND CHECK OUT THE BEAUTY PARLOR!

I’m fairly new to the area and have been searching for a quality, reliable, top notch salon since my arrival. I may have found my new salon home! The environment itself is modern/​chic, clean, professional, and welcoming. I arrived almost (so close!) on time for my appointment, and Orlando was just seating another Client. I was about to roll my eyes as I assumed I’d be waiting 30 minutes before I would be even looked at again… but that was not the case. He made quick (and beautiful, I might add) work of his Client then moved right onto me. I’d just taken out Senegalese Twists and combed out my hair as best I could. With at least an inch of new growth I expected this to be a painful and arduous process. Not so.
The shampoo– let me tell you– was fantastic. With three shampoo/​rinse cycles I didn’t have to question whether he cared about my scalp being truly clean, and the head massage was heavenly.
From there, conditioning, blow dry, flat iron, then under the dryer for my silk wrap. Pretty standard services, but he was able to complete them in good time, confidence, and wonderful results. I also expressed interest in going natural and we chatted about good techniques for doing so.
I don’t see any reason for me to visit another salon, ever. Assuming they are able to replicate the wonderful results of my first visit– I’ll definitely be returning! Thanks to Orlando and the entire team for making this a great experience.

I’m so happy to say that my second experience at the salon was better than the first! Both times I walked out with my hair looking gorgeous. This time, Orlando was my stylist. He’s extremely personable and he did an amazing job. I will definitely be back!

«I never knew a lo, lo, love, a love like this» –Common. I really needed a blow out. I like my hair straight but for about 4 weeks I had been in twist/​knot outs. I called at 9 am, the receptionist answered and said they could see me the same day at 2. I immediately got an email from the stylist Orlando confirming. I was about 10 minutes early and when I walked in, he was not there but I was offered refreshments. The shop was also very clean and so chic. Orlando arrived shortly after. I wish you all could have seen my atrocious messy bun! He didn’t complain. He took me to the bowl and washed out all of that messy product and gave me the best scalp massage EVER!!! I didn’t need any deep conditions or anything. Two shampoos and one 5 minute condition and he was on to the blow dry. My hair was silky enough after the blow dry to leave then but of course he proceeded to the flat iron. I told him I needed a trim so he did the trim, fixed my overly long side bang and gave me some edgy layers. He wrapped me up and sat me under the dryer 10 minutes to receive ultimate silkiness. The then unwrapped me and bumped my ends for a perfect look. May I add, we had the best salon chatter about social issues and not the typical gossip. My hair was perfect and I walked out smiling. If I could have thrown Orlando in my pocketbook and took him home with me I would have! Thanks babe

3^rd salon I’ve been to since I’ve moved to Virginia. and I love this one. will be back to get my hair done for the christmas party

Thee best stylist ever. Even tho Brandon, Dennis, and Noël aren’t there any more kwan and Preston are among thee best ever as well. I miss this salon so much I wish Quincy would pack up and move here on the west Coast because we need more stylist like these great men whom specialist in healthy hair care. When ever I’m in the VA area this is where I go. Thank me later. By the way after you get your hair done go ahead and stop next door and grab a bit to eat Salmon/​Rice along with asparagus is one of my favorite meals. If you hair appt is on the weekend you may be able to catch the live band as well. Love Love!

Came here a few weeks ago, got the pleasure of being my hair blew out by «Orlando». Though I was here more hours than I was at work, he did a good job and was entertaining. I’ll be back. Not as often as I would like, only cuz I refuse to get in the habit of being that girl in the salon every other week. Not to mention, I don’t have those kind of hours to waste. But the salon was nice. The allay were all sweet. If you have the time, I’d recommend this salon for sure. Vertu diverse and welcoming

Liz Greco at The Beauty Parlor gives me the cut and color that I LOVE every time! Going to this place is fun because it’s in the heart of the Norfolk Arts district — its super modern, everyone is friendly, the light fixtures are really cool, and the music always puts me in a great mood. I’d follow Liz anywhere for her ability to guide me in the right direction with my hair, but I hope she stays at this location because it rocks and so does she!

I’ve been having stylist Liz Greco color and cut my hair for almost a decade. I’ve followed her from salon to salon and ‘The Beauty Parlor’ is a gem! It’s modern, hip, clean, relaxing — and affordable. Don’t just settle for the hair salon down the street — make an appointment at The Beauty Parlor. If you’re in need of a new stylist, I’d highly recommend Liz!

Kwamane is awesome!!! I’m natural and hadn’t been to a professional stylist in over two years. (Long story) But Kwamane took away all of my fears! I didn’t believe I was looking at my own hair when he finished. My blowout was AMAZING!!! And he’s such a sweetie. Glad I found him.

It’s posh. Clean. The sound system is amazing, and there’s a good mix of every kind of musical genre. Plus, everyone is friendly. I wasn’t sure where to park and the receptionist was patient and guided me thru, while someone from the salon came outside and pointed exactly where I needed to be. In the rain. That’s customer service.
I received a very thorough and relaxing shampoo, then style, by Preston. With tips and overall knowledge in between. And left with body and bounce for days. All within an hour and a half.
I do adore.

Thursday I had the best salon experience ever. Orlando was my stylist/​colorist. He did an amazing job on my lifeless natural hair. The cut added bounce and body to my hair. The color added shine and was vibrant. My hair has not been this silky and soft in a long time as I could not find a stylist that could properly style my natural hair. Orlando is now my stylist and I made my 2 week return appt on my way out. The salon is very stylish and large. They offer you beverages (I had wine) and snacks while you wait and as you walk in. Brandon is at the check-​in desk and is very friendly and accommodating. I’m glad I found this gem of a salon in downtown Norfolk just 2 blocks away from the Greyhound bus station. I will warn you Orlando is hilarious and well keep you laughing and having a great experience in his chair. The prices are a little on the expensive end but is well worth it. I can’t stop touching my hair. Check out this great salon you will not be disappointed.

What an experience! I arrived and was greeted by everyone & offered a drink. Orlando aka «Kanye Press» did an amazing job! Not only was he personable, he was efficient & my hair looks and feels amazing! I will certainly be back!

Preston did a great job on my hair… thought my hair was beyond damage from glue in tracks but he fixed it… great location and atmosphere… best customer service and they serve beverages… owner Q has restaurant next door… if you are in Norfolk area. come check these stylists out… oh and they specialize in all hair types…

Kwamane for president. I went in certain and ready for someone to tell me the damage was too bad and I needed to cut it all off. I was prepared for judgement about my half relaxed, mostly colored, partially natural, fully mess hair.
But Kwamane saved the day. It was perfect, peaceful, a beautiful atmosphere and I left feeling like 3 million bucks. And my hair is amazing!
So go, and enjoy.
And thank you Kwamane for making me feel beautiful again.

Today I got my hair colored with highlights and a silk wrap. I showed up as a walk-​in with no clue what color I wanted. The gentlemen that work here were extremely helpful and professional. I’ve been to several hair salons in the area and hands down this is my favorite. I received quality service, helpful suggestions on maintaining my new look and the atmosphere is so chic…

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! The salon is wonderful and the stylists are great. I have been coming to the salon since 2012 and Quincy is the bomb! Short hair, long hair, natural they can do it all. You will love it!!!

This review is long overdue! Let start by saying its not your typical salon. If you’re into assembly line salons where every stylist tries to sell you products you don’t need, that smells like burning hair and coconuts, and takes up hours of your precious time well The Beauty Parlor will leave you sorely disappointed! In a nutshell the word pampered comes to mind. From the moment you walk in you’re greeted like a long absent friend. Perhaps a chilled water, a snack, free Wi-​Fi, relaxing music? Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes Sir!
Try the silk wrap and ask for Kwamane he’s a «silkoligist»

If the Beauty Parlor was a man, he’d be my long awaited for Mr. Right. The Beauty Parlor encompasses everything the modern woman wants in a hair salon; professionalism, timeliness, complimentary beverages, current mags to read and it’s trendy. I’ve been a loyal and happy patron since I first went in 2012.
Here’s how my first experience went; So one Saturday, I begin calling around to see where I could go for a same day appt, to have my natural hair washed and blown out. Having been burned by Dominican salons in the past, I wanted to go to a salon that was knowledgeable about the extra care and patience, to ensure my natural tresses not only look beautiful, but also healthy. Upon calling, Noelle initially let me know that there wasn’t any availability for that day but that he’d certainly schedule me for a Monday appt. I let him know I needed to be serviced that day, so he took my contact information just in case. Within 10 – 15 mins, he gave me a call back letting me know that I could be fitted in.
Yay! He scheduled for stylist Darryl to take care of me for the day. I really like that you have one stylist from the beginning to the end. Darryl, did an excellent job with my hair, and we chatted the entire time like old friends. I always go back to him:) Every time I’ve gone, I’ve always been greeted, serviced on time and thanked for my business. The all-​male cast of The Beauty Parlor has their business down to a science, and my hair LOVES them for it.

This salon is excellent! I have never had such great customer service in a salon. For one, the salon is beautiful and the stylists offer beverages and snacks to keep your hunger at bay. I really appreciate their love and passion for natural, healthy hair. They will provide you with all the tools to help you obtain healthy locks. Quincy, or Q, gave me the best blowout and flat iron style I have ever had in my life! My hair had so much movement and shine. I’m pretty sure my hair never looked that good with a relaxer. I am in the transitioning process (7 long months) and I will continue to go to Q for my silky blowouts and awesome service.
They also carry a wide variety of professional products for healthy hair care!
