From the professionalism that is lost from so many salons today to the great cuts and styles that I am extremely pleased with.

Great customer service and always very professional
Being in the military, I was in search for a new stylist. With many unsatisfied visits to various salons, my last stop was with Wil at Lets Face It Hair Studio. And I’ve been with Wil for years now. With every visit, I leave very satisfied. Great customer service and always very professional 🙂
Wil is a blessing to me
I am delighted to say that Wil has been my stylist for over 16 years. I was referred to Wil when I decided to cut my medium length hair to a short classy design. It was important to me to work with a stylist that understood what I wanted, and could offer recommendations. Wil did a beautiful job on meeting my expectations. I am also very impressed with not having to go to the salon for my hair appointment and wait hours to be serviced. Wil is a blessing to me, and I wish him the best.
Hollywood caliber make-up artist!
Wil was 1/2 of my wedding “Glam Squad”(Nate Whitfield was the other half). He is an excellent make-up artist and I recommend his services to anyone that wants to work with a talented professional. VA Beach is lucky to have a Hollywood caliber make-up artist!
Wil, you are the best in your craft and i love you dearly for keeping me fly from week to week!
Wil is the most talented hair professional i have ever had the honor of dealing with. Each week i see him for a new style. He has been doing my hair for almost 17 years and i wouldn’t change up for the world. I never have to tell him how or what to do. All i have to do is show up and know that when i leave, i am going to be thoroughly satisfied with my hair. Wil, you are the best in your craft and i love you dearly for keeping me fly from week to week!

My hair has never looked better
I have been a client of yours for about 4 years now and am just as happy today as I was 4 years ago. I receive endless compliments about the health of my hair. My hair has never looked better. I have been to dozens of stylists in the past, but was never completely satisfied like I am now. Not only are you awesome at what you do, but you are 100% loyal and dedicated to your clients. I always feel comfortable and respected when I am in your salon. God Bless!!
Wil is the one!
Let me tell you about Wil Strayhorn! It only took one look in his portfolio for me to tell that he was the one I wanted to get me glammed up for my wedding. I purchased the Here Comes The Bride package and it was worth every dollar plus more. I don’t wear makeup at all, but he put in work! I received soo many compliments and I felt so beautiful walking down the aisle. If you need someone for a very special event, do not hesitate. Wil is the one!
WOW!!! His work is second to none!
What can I say about Wil Strayhorn’s work? WOW!!! His work is second to none! He’s not one of those stylists that overbooks and keeps you waiting for hours and hours on end! And the end result is a sheer MASTERPIECE! I had searched high and low in the Va Beach area for a professional stylist and I can truly say that I found that and so much more in Wil Strayhorn! Keep up the GREAT work Wil! Your work is absolutely fantastic!!!

The man knows hair care!
When I first came to Wil my hair was a complete mess and very unhealthy. Within a week, I could see a difference! A year later, I love my hair! The man knows hair care! I have been to many hairstylists that “say” they know hair but with Wil it shows!
His pictures doesn’t do his work justice. Your in good hands with Wil.
I was referred to Wil when I was looking for a make-up artist for my wedding. From the very 1st email Wil was very professional and extremely nice. When I met with him to do my bridal trail make-up I was truly amazed with the end result. On the big day Wil arrived on time to do my entire bridal party, mom, and flowers girls, and even stayed until after my ceremony to do touch ups for me. He had everyone looking truly radiant. His pictures doesn’t do his work justice. Your in good hands with Wil.
He has kept it healthy and has taught me things to do at home to keep it healthy.
I have been living in the area since 2009 and was told to try out Wil and Nate by my best friend who is a client of theirs as well. Since my first visit, Wil has always made my hair look beyond anything I could do or have seen my hair look in the past. He has kept it healthy and has taught me things to do at home to keep it healthy. If you’re looking for a hairstylist LET’S FACE IT can please all your needs that we look for in hairstylists, never had to wait hours to get my hair done, and service is always beyond expectations.

Wil did an awesome job
The guests at my wedding were in awe with my Mom and the bridal party. Wil did an awesome job, he made up my Mom, 4 bridesmaids and myself! I also did a trail run consultation a couple of months before my wedding for a formal event and I received so many compliments. I will definitely use him again for formal events in the future.
Wil you are the best stylist I have had in Virginia Beach.
Wow, is not enough to say about Wil Strayhorn’s work. I have only been a client for a few months and am always satisfied with his work and professionalism. He has made my hair healthier. Wil you are the best stylist I have had in Virginia Beach.
He has become more than my stylist he’s my friend.
I observed Wils work before I was a client and was impressed with his professionalism. Unlike a lot of stylist today, he works very close to schedule which is important to me. He helped me to step out of my comfort zone with different styles and colors and ALWAYS age appropriate. He has become more than my stylist he’s my friend.

I looked like a model!!!
Needed a make-up artist for my wedding and was having a hard time finding one. I was so happy when I came across Lets Face It Salon (Wil Strayhorn) on style seat! He definitely made my day when he told me that he would be available to do make-up for my wedding! There were 8 of us total so he had to bring an assistant. They were very professional, on time, managed time wisely and my ladies, mothers and myself all looked beautiful! He made sure I looked the best of course since I was the bride! Your wedding day comes with lots of pictures and memories and you want to make sure you look your best during it all and I definitely felt and looked my best! I had so many people tell me how beautiful I looked and how I looked like a model!!! (not just because they were being nice or because I was the bride, but because they really meant it!) The professional make-up this artist provides definitely helps your look come all together! I highly recommend him and Lets Face It Salon to anyone in need!
I knew from the start that I didn’t have to look anywhere else for someone/somewhere to create my perfect look.
You will look fabulous!
I have been in this area since 2006 and have been to numerous hair stylists and was not happy with the way they styled my hair. I entered Nate and Wil’s Salon back in the Fall 2009 as a walk in client and was very very impressed with the way Nate styled my hair. I have not been to another stylist. Not only he is great, but the atmosphere Wil and Nate’s salon has just makes you feel at home. A place where you can come and relax and know you will look fabulous when you walk out the door.
