The couple has worked at Cristophe Salon in the District for more than 18 years; Krista as a colorist and Philippe, a native of southwest France, as artistic director and manager.

Krista Depeyrot was born in the District, was raised in Alexandria and is a graduate of T.C. Williams High School. The couple lives in Rosemont. 

“I have lots of friends in the neighborhood,” she said. “We basically live in the Dairy Godmother. We go to Core Wellness for our physical therapy ... We’ve sourced so many local businesses to get our place open. We’re really excited.”

Salon Bisoux (French for “kisses” in an affectionate way) will be located at 2709 Mount Vernon Ave. next to RE/MAX Executives.
