Do you love your hairstylist?
I do. Angela does an amazing job with all her clients. Moreover, she’s part of a unique and fabulous culture that’s been created by Alexandria’s own, Maria Elizabeth.
Salon deZEN, this week’s featured business, believes “you can change the world by being yourself,” and that’s a message I can get behind! This full-service salon is one of my Alexandria favorites. Where else can you go to get great salon service AND a dose of positive self-affirmation?
The staff and stylists are so good they sweat glitter!

How you live is as important as where you live. And living in Alexandria remains a top choice for many — including Santa’s elves.
The city’s appeal is more than its convenient location. It’s the charm. The special boutiques, like Made in ALX make Alexandria what it is, which is a city like none other.
I’m Sandy McMaster, a lifetime resident and realtor. I’ve helped people move in and around the city for more than 18 years. As the commercial says, “I’ve seen a thing or two” so I thought it was time to share a few of my favorite places and people, like Beth Lawton, co-founder of Made in ALX.
This fantastic shop is a collective of more than 40 local creators and artisans. The store features unique, hand-crafted items exclusively made in Alexandria. These are singular gifts you give to make your special people, feel special.
Besides the local honey, you’ll find terrific soaps, candles, ceramics, and more. My favorite? The Christmas tree decorations (the gnomes… so cute!) Be sure to stop in often because these creative wizards (elves) show up daily with new inventory for Beth to showcase!
After you’ve found all your stocking stuffers at Made in ALX, follow our new series on Instagram. I’ll share the city’s best-kept secrets and highlight businesses that help us build the lives we want in the city we love!
Happy Holidays!
