Hair Cuttery

Worst hair Cuttery Iv ever been to. The so called stylists over charge for every little thing they do. For a simple shampoo and blowdry they charged $ 48 for hair that is 3 inches below ear level.
I got the same service at another hair Cuttery location yesterday for $ 18. They told me its for «long hair»
Extremely rude and unprofessional Asian woman at the reception who was not communicating well and dismissive of any requests for clarity in pricing expect to keep repeating «long hair».
I cannot believe how poor this experience was compared to the good hair Cuttery experiences I have had before.
Good locations are at Tysons corner mall and DuPont circle. Spare yourself the ordeal of going to this terrible unprofessional location.
Also, the «stylist» completely disregarded y request about the style and went ahead doing whatever she felt like. I could not see it as my glasses were off till it was too late.

I’ve been going to the Hair Cuttery at Van Dorn Plaza for 16 years, and everyone there has done a good job. I keep my hair pretty short, as I’m a wash and go type. There are a few stylists I really like, but if they’re busy I’ll go with anyone. Never had any problems. My hair grows out pretty fast, so I’m really not fussy.

I’ve never cried more after visiting a salon. I am a casual, easy to please haircut person usually, but this place has scarred me. I asked for some ombré highlights just at the bottom of my hair and came out looking like a skunk with stripes only at the top of my head. I will go back this week as the manager offered to fix it. Will update review then.

I normally don’t write reviews, but my experience today was compelling.
As a Black female with natural 4C hair (read: afro in full effect), the struggle is real to find a salon that can cater to my hair type which won’t break the bank and will adhere to performing the desired service without trying to sell me something or do extra.
My last salon visit left me emotional as my requested trim turned into a full fledged haircut which set me back a few inches and fifty bucks.
Not so with my Hair Cuttery visit today.
Enter Sheba. I explained to her that I am growing my hair out and I only wanted my ends to be trimmed for maintenance.
And God bless her, that is EXACTLY what she did. She didn’t try to talk me out of it or put her own vision on my head. She explained to me what she was doing step by step, she SHOWED me my hair so that I could see that only the ends were being clipped, and she provided me a helpful tip about a new product I could try whenever felt so inclined (without aggressively pushing it). All for less than $ 20.
I am over the moon. My ‘fro is fabulous and I will be back.
Thank you Sheba!

Took 5 minutes to do my haircut, i told her not so short. I usually ask for 5 on top and now i look bald… I m not coming here anymore… Horrible experience… Now i have to wait for hair to grow up again… Again HORRIBLE experience…

I struggled with this review, because I REALLY wanted to be positive. The young lady, Drew? (sp), was very nice, polite, and pleasant. BUT I asked for a particular haircut/​style, showed her a picture, and it looked NOTHING like it. If she was unable to achieve the look with my hair texture she should have said that, but once she «finished» there was nothing to be done. I remained polite, I paid, and tipped. What was done was done, my hair was cut and the EXECUTION was poor. She still charged me the same price, and was well aware that she did not do what I asked. The last time I went to Jinaki? (sp) and she did what I asked, and I was pleased. I thought I’d go out on a limb and give it a try… never again.

I’m a first time customer, my stylist was Istevan Jinaki (JSquared), and she did a fabulous cut! She listened to my request and my hair came out perfect! Also she offered me a «dry cut» since I had already washed and dried my hair today. I’ve never had that option before, and it was great. I highly recommend this salon!

I started using this place after the Hair Cuttery on Route 1 messed up. I went here and asked if they could do anything with it. They were incredibly nice and helpful and did their best. They pulled their «guy for problems» after he was done with the customer he was working on and gave him to me. And he did help. The manager gave me free (and expensive) shampoo/​conditioner and one of those complimentary soft cases for a tablet or ipad. I was so impressed. Unfortunately, it’s just been up and down since then, to the point where I am giving up on them. They could never seem to get the color right; it was always too dark or too light. One time it burned my scalp and I had horrid dandruff from flaking skin. Today the stylist layered my hair. If she had asked me I could have told I don’t like to layer my hair. Their biggest problem, by far though, is that they leave marks on your skin from the coloring. Today it was a ring from the cap that ran temple to temple. Sigh.

For 180, my hair had to be lightened first, than highlighted than toned than highlighted a second time.
Recommend Sheba and a gay asian male there named Lee. Those two are the best I would go to them. YMMV with the others.

Took my daughter for a basic wash/​cut/​dry. Stylist wanted to charge me $ 10 more for blowing out her hair with a brush (what?!). Without a brush, apparently no additional cost. When I said, ok, don’t use a brush, she said she would have to charge me $ 10 for the additional length of her hair, which sits at her shoulders. Either way, this stylist was going to figure out how to tack on the extra $ 10. My advice: Go somewhere else.

First time here, great experience. I came in to get cornrows. Jinaki is the best. Her cornrows were clean and tight, I will be coming back…

My hair stylist was Titi. I came around 12:30 on a Thursday hoping to get a shampoo, blowdry, in and out for a headshot I was taking for work. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The organization of stylists in terms of taking people in order was very bad. A lot of breaks were taken and I was watching trying to figure out why. No one was getting highlights or fancy ombres, just men getting trims or women getting trims. I almost left because I couldn’t take the inefficiency. Finally they got to me and Titi was quite sweet and personable. Her blowdrying technique wasn’t the best, but she took my direction and gives a very nice scalp massage.
Probably wouldn’t return unless it was an emergency.

This place rocks. I got an awesome haircut with no wait. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I was at another u haircut place in New York and it was really bad. This place listened to me, made sure I liked it and shampooed after.

Took my mother in for shampoo and dry this morning. Told the receptionist, she then told the Assistant Mgr that was doing my mother’s hair. Setting in the waiting area I heard my mother tell the Assistant Mgr she did not want a haircut. I turned around to see what was going on and she was cutting the back of my mother’s hair! My mother’s hair was one length and now has a big gap with a neck line. It will take months to grow out.

Went in yesterday for services. Received service from a TiTi. Requested a color, wash/​blow dry and flat iron. Color didn’t come out very well. She left the back of my head still wet. Then she didn’t flat iron it. In the middle of my wash she offered waxing for my eyebrows. They came out crooked and uneven. Today, I woke up to find out I have burn marks from the waxing. Very upset and displeased with the services I received. Complained on their website twice and direct to the location and have yet to receive any type of feedback.
Finally, received feedback today. Management made contact with me to help rectify situation.

For starters i have natural kinky (nappy for those that dont understand) hair. I came in wanting a haircut for the holidays. It was busy but everyone was in and out in under 10minutes looking great. I got a bob which included a blow dry (my hair was freshly washed beforehand) and a flat iron for $ 30.00. Im happy with it. I went to the stylist Jinaki who was sweet and professional. i tipped 10 extra because the experience was way better than the reviews posted here.

Got my hair shampooed, conditioned, cut and blow-​dryed one weekday afternoon for $ 35 (including tip) by very excellent hair dresser TiTi. When I walked in I thought I might have to wait awhile but very efficient person at the desk put my phone in computer, knew I’d been to a Hair Cuttery before, and got me set up. Place is clean and seems to be run very well (no loud weird music and they swept the floor of hair). There were about 4 stylists and as many customers the whole time I was there and it was quite a busy place. I almost missed finding it but it’s in the parking lot area of the mall.

Terrible my boyfriends hair was all botched up really bad when he left this place.
Don’t come here if you can help it! She didn’t even wipe his forehead after the cut and he was looking a mess!!! The back is uneven in length

This place is a disaster.
First thing first, yes, I know it’s a bargain hair place. I’m not one of those Unilocal reviewers that goes to Ruby Tuesday and complains it wasn’t Capitol Grille. But even with adjusted standards, this place is brutal.
Walked in, and I definitely agree with another reviewer — the place smells weird. That was the first warning sign.
At the counter, I was immediately asked to show my Hair Cuttery card. As far as I can tell, this card does nothing to benefit the customer (e.g., it doesn’t offer frequent customers a free haircut every so often or anything). It basically just lets them track your visits so that they can hound you via email for the rest of your life. In any event, I was forced to stand idly for several minutes while the receptionist added all my personal information.
Before we got started with the cut I used the restroom. As I left the room, some stylist told me, abrasively, to go back and shut off the light. It was really, really weird. It’s not like he was busy or anything — not sure why he didn’t just interrupt his iPhone browsing to reach out and do it himself. Good client service!
Anyway, I’m now in the chair and trying to surmount a significant language bar with my stylist. My gut was screaming for me to get up and leave, but I didn’t want to be rude, and plus, they had more information on me than the NSA after the marathon registration process. So against my better judgment, I sat tight.
I told the lady I wanted a buzz cut. I think she said no? Or maybe yes, but was making her own suggestions? Regardless, I didn’t understand anything she said. Apparently she didn’t understand anything I said either, because she gave me a haircut that was definitely not a buzz cut.
If you’re going to Hair Cuttery because the price is right and you’re confident you have an impossible-​to-​mess-​up hair style, you’ll probably be fine. If not, there are much better options for only slightly more money.

I actually love coming here because I simply enjoy talking to the ladies who work here. They have a nice big parking lot. You can get your grocery shopping done and even grab a bite to eat. It’s not expensive to get a haircut here (something like $ 16). It’s just convenient and judging by the parking lot there is a real mixture of customers: people drive up in Porches or pull up on a bicycle. I knocked off a star because I find the sales pitches for shampoo to be annoying and it’s not fun to wait around if they can’t see you right away.
The best time to go is during the day. At night you might want to make an appointment or be prepared to wait for 20 – 30 minutes, although I must admit that even when there is a line, it moves pretty well.
