About the founder
Nordine Elabassi
In 1982, a young and ambitious Nordine landed on American soil, his dreams fueled by the promise of opportunity. Balancing a rigorous education with the demands of two jobs, his unwavering work ethic led him to a pivotal moment in 1987: the opening of his very first salon in Vienna, VA. This marked the beginning of what would become a storied career in the beauty industry.
Nordine's commitment to excellence and his ability to anticipate the needs of his discerning clientele saw the expansion of his brand in 1992 with a full-service salon and day spa in Fairfax, VA. This establishment quickly became a haven for those seeking the dual benefits of enhanced aesthetics and a reprieve from the daily grind.
By 2001, Nordine's empire had flourished, reaching the Gainesville community and offering an unmatched level of luxury and service. His strategic vision was further realized with the establishment of a premier 6,000 square-foot salon at the Reston Town Center, operating from 2003 to 2017, catering to the Reston-Herndon area's beauty needs.
The opening of the Nordine Salon & Day Spa in the Fairfax Mosaic District in 2013 was a game-changer, providing unparalleled access to upscale beauty services for residents of Tysons Corner, Vienna, and McLean. The momentum continued with the launch of the latest Nordine Salon & Day Spa at Reston Station near the Wiehle Avenue Metro in 2017, solidifying Nordine’s presence as a cornerstone of Northern Virginia's beauty landscape.
Nordine's philosophy transcends the mere provision of services; it's about nurturing the American dream and fostering entrepreneurship within the beauty industry. By offering luxury suite rentals, Nordine empowers aspiring beauty professionals to carve out their own paths to success.
Today, Nordine Elabassi is not just the name behind a chain of elite salons and day spas. It's a symbol of entrepreneurial spirit, quality service, and a testament to the belief that everyone's dream can find its place in the American tapestry.
