Lofty Salon has carved out a specialty on Maple Avenue in Vienna by focusing on curly and textured hair, offering clients an approach designed around their natural hair patterns.
Founder Mona Harb has more than three decades of hairstyling experience and naturally curly hair herself. After years of imagining her own salon, she opened Lofty in the mid-2000s and developed it into a light-filled, welcoming studio.
Harb calls her specialized approach “Curlyologist®” and trains the salon’s staff to assess how curls grow, move and respond to shaping. The goal is to preserve length, improve manageability and give hair definition without working against its natural texture.
Consultations are central to the salon’s process. Stylists discuss each client’s hair history, daily routine, goals and concerns before beginning a service.
Lofty offers curly-hair cutting and shaping, custom color and highlights, color correction, restorative and deep-conditioning treatments, natural-texture styling and makeup services from select stylists. It also carries products intended for curly and textured hair.
Although curls are a major focus, the team also works with fine, wavy and straight hair while emphasizing healthy, natural-looking results.
Over the years, Lofty has developed a local following that includes longtime clients and multiple generations of families. The salon is located at 70 Maple Ave. W., Suite 1, in Vienna.
