Annie’s Hair Design

Annie is awesome! I’ve had long hair since I was 12 years old and finally decided to take the plunge and get a bob. WOW! I didn’t think I could pull it off but she did an amazing job. Will definitely be returning!

I am a male and went to see Annie to get a shampoo, haircut and scalp massage. She promised she would ‘make me handsome’. That was an offer I could not refuse — especially considering what she had to work with.
She did an outstanding job — the best haircut combination I can ever recall receiving. She is very skilled and professional at what she does. If you are a guy anywhere near the Annandale area I highly recommend Annie’s.

We drove from 3.5 hour from West Virginia to Annie for haircut on Sat Morning. My wife like her haircut so much. Unfortunately, she did not allow me to show her picture. We will come back again next spring.

This place is way way too expensive for magic perm! I think they rob me for an average job they’ve done to my hair! I spend $ 450 (before tip) for my magic perm! I also bought a Zencare Product for $ 45 which my hair dresser Annie (the owner) convince me to buy and with tip I spend a little over ½ THOUSAND for my average looking magic perm! I think they cheated on me for the price!!! I usually get my straight perm for around $ 200 something. Annie’s place is a rip off! Don’t ever go there for your magic perm. You will definitely be broke when you come out! I am so pissed now cause my hair is so mess up right now! It is way too flat on my face! For the price I pay this place is not worth it at all!!! I mean I don’t mind paying that price if the result was great, but it was the opposite. Don’t fall for the other Unilocalers who claim Annie is good. She is really not. That’s how I ended going to her place too. Take my advice DO NOT go to Annie’s you will thank me later. I will never ever go back to Annie’s anymore!

Little expensive than I thought, but i love the result!

Annie did such an amazing job on my sisters hair and my hair! We both have super thick asian hair that needs layering and trimming. She finished cut and styled in less than an hour for both of us!
Very affordable and such an awesome job! Her staff is also super friendly. Thanks Annie!

Functional interior. Not a place to go to if you are looking for a premium salon experience, BUT this is definitely THE place to go to if you are looking for a nice haircut! Handled by ‘experienced hands’ of Annie! It was only US$ 35 for the superb result. Today was my first experience at Annie Hair Design, and I am definitely looking forward for the next appointment! Thanks for the awesome cut! Cheers, satisfied customer.

I’ve been Unilocaling for the best salon for my Asian hair, and for the longest time I have been going to the salon across Annie’s (Mi&Mi) because it had the higher reviews at the time. But on one instance, I went for a haircut and Mi&Mi was fully booked for the day (my fault for not calling ahead). Not wanting to drive back to DC, I Unilocaled again and saw that Annie’s Hair Design had good reviews and is just across the street. So I walked in and gave it a try. I suppose not many people have discovered this gem of a salon (yet) so they were able to accommodate me. But let’s just say I was so happy with my hair that I have been going to Annie’s ever since.
Thanks to Unilocal,they have become pretty popular so I suggest to call ahead for an appointment. And now they have actually surpassed Mi&Mi in ratings! They deserve it. Keep up the excellent and thorough service, Annie!

never cares to post a review for anywhere/​anything since it s just not my thing. But ever since I found Annie (while she was working at the other salon at that time).I continue to be her loyal customer and feel like she deserves a good review. There is nothing fancy about the salon itself (not flashy, straight forward, but still clean and comfortable). I just love how easy for me to tell her which cut I want and she always perfects it every time. The cut costs about 40 for lady (including wash and dry process).

Annie always does a really good job on hairstyles. She teems to take a lot of pride in her work.

Unilocalers you didn’t disappoint! Seriously talk about a hidden gem! When you first arrive there it’s kinda weird… it’s kind of inside of another store (spa) and to the right. I don’t even know if I want to write an awesome review because then everyone will be going to her and the wait will be so long! haha
So to give some background I’m the type of person that won’t even get a haircut because i’m so terrified they might mess up my hair and just wait until I go back home to TX to get my hair done from someone I know that will do it right. Sadly I haven’t been back home and really need one … I haven’t cut my hair in like 2+ years. I have really thick asian hair and it normally takes the hair stylist ¾ hrs to cut/​style my hair but …
LET ME TELL YOU… holy cow… Annie won the WORLD RECORD for most amazing hair cut I’ve ever had in under 25 min… talk about being flabbergasted. I think the fast food place that I went to afterwards took longer than my hair cut…
seriously though for $ 40 bucks… that was beyond fantastic! Don’t take my word for it… go and try Annie for yourself. I’m in love with her.
Shhhh don’t tell anyone…

Annie’s Hair Design in Annandale is a hidden gem. First, your stylist is likely to be. .. Annie. For any of us who have been to a hundred places and once in a while find someone we want to return to, you will recognize the «It» factor in Annie on your first visit.
I have thick, coarse, curly hair and go to Annie for chemical straightening (on her website it’s called «Japanese Magic»). I have had Japanese Liscio reconditioning at other places, but she has a treatment/​conditioning process that leaves my hair in better condition and smoother than I’ve had before.
She also has an intuitive sense for how to cut hair. My thick, coarse hair is also long, and how to cut the ends can be tricky and often has ended in disappointment. Usually, any form of feathering results in even larger, more unmanageable ends, so before I’ve gone for straight-​across cuts as the lesser evil. She’s figured out how to soften the look without puffing out the ends.

I got a pretty normal mushroom-​y cut for $ 35 (before tip). I definitely think the price was not worth the quality. Oh well, definitely not coming back.

Finally found Annie based off of all the high reviews she’s received in the past and was not disappointed.

Here is small place but Annie she’s awesome. So honest if u want to u some thing to your hair and gonna mess up you hair she won’t do it .I love that way she really nice and so professional — highly recommend this place

I just had my rather long hair cut for the first time by Annie. It’s been a year since my last hair cut. She did a wonderful job! She razor cut it wet, dried it and cut some more to make sure that it was a perfect cut! I’ll be back for sure!
*Added bonus my perfect cut didn’t break the bank!

I love Annie. A friend referred her to me a few years ago then she left her old place, it took me a while to find her. I am a very safe person, always stick to the same style so to find someone who consistently gives me a good haircut is very important.
She’s busy but if you call at odd hours, she’ll be able to take you in.

The best haircut for my boyfriend ever!!! Plus a great service! I am definitely coming back for my own haircut!

For my first review on Unilocal,it could not be for a better business than Annie Hair Design. Annie has been my hair stylist since 2001, at Sun and Moon Hair Salon, and recently decided to open her own place. My wife who is very picky about who touches her hair was convinced that Annie would be her stylist in 2003, after her regionally-​known stylist left to move to Hollywood. There are lot of Korean Hair Stylist in Annandale, and some are good and some are not so good. I was very fortunate to find Annie, and you will realize why people keep going back to her time after time. While there is a much lower price compared to non-​Korean hair salon factor, we would pay much more if she charged more. Annie has a large non-​Korean client base, which is not very common for a Korean hair stylists from my experience. This business is located just inside the entrance to Riverside Sauna, in the same building as Oegadgib, Korean bbq restaurant.
