Friends, Family, Partners

Alex and Sami first met in 2000 on opposite sides of the stylist’s chair. She came in to donate 10” of hair. He was the one holding the scissors. One “Locks of Love” donation later and they were lifelong friends.

It all happened at the original Frizzles salon in Springfield, owned by Alex’s father, Nadim. Alex grew up learning the business of running a successful salon. With a love for science, she earned a B.S. in biology and psychology and worked in non-profit healthcare for 10 years. But she never stopped dreaming of starting her own business, just like her father …

Originally from Lebanon, Sami worked at Frizzles Springfield for over 12 years and quickly became one of their top stylists. With an infectious laugh and a big personality, his warmth and artistry have made him one of the most sought-after stylists in the area. Hardworking and determined, Sami always dreamed of having his own salon …

In 2009, Alex and Sami’s dreams came together when they opened Frizzles Alexandria. Though some things have changed – Sami became real family as godfather to Alex’s daughter – their vision remains the same: provide outstanding style, personalized attention, and great service.

After all, at Frizzles Alexandria, clients become friends and friends become family.
