A salon for young 'princesses' to open in Annandale

The future home of Princess'land.

Princess’land, a spa for girls at 7224 Columbia Pike, could open within the next few weeks, says owner Melissa Ochoa.

It will offer such services as hair styling, manicures, pedicures, facials, and makeovers for kids age 4-18. Princess’land will also host special events, such as birthday parties; bridal and baby showers; quinceañeras; and sweet sixteen parties, proms, and graduation parties.


Ochoa, a resident of Annandale, has worked in salons, specializing in facials. Princess’land is her first business.

The salon will be in the building formerly occupied by Annandale Florist, which closed in 2012, after serving the community for 45 years.

Princess’land will be housed in part of the building, the one-story structure facing Maple Street. The other section, fronting on Columbia Pike, is available for lease.

Ochoa plans to offer gift certificates to a handful of girls with straight As. Details will be posted on the Pincess’land website.

Meanwhile, Ochoa is looking for someone with experience to help with marketing and advertising. If you’re interested, contact her at melychacon1201@gmail.com.
