PR at Partners Belmont Chase

Stephanie just gave me the best haircut of my life! She listened to everything I was saying, I told her about my problems with curling my hair and how it doesn’t last and she helped me out!

Ok, do yourself a favor and book an appointment at this new salon. I have been seeing Dave Ackers for many years, including when he was at the PR&Partners salon located outside of Tyson’s mall (anyone remember that strip that included La Madeline??) Even though I still live in Arlington, I was happy to follow Dave out to his new Ashburn location, b/​c I appreciate his haircuts and color that much. Let me be clear, I’m not one to drive out of my way for a haircut, but to be honest, driving this far totally beats looking for parking at the Tyson’s mall, and even if it didn’t, I would STILL come out here.
The salon is beautiful, everything is updated and just generally gives you a good vibe as you walk in. And Dave is a wiz at hair and color. On my last visit, I had brought a few color ideas with me and he very graciously told me that one of the pics I brought would probably not be the best look for me, and would also take HOURS to complete. I was happy to get his feedback and instead we came up with a different idea that I ended up loving as much as always. Dave takes the time to listen and provide real feedback, which I really appreciate. I also asked about hair care b/​c I still use drug store brand products, and he pointed me to some products that he recommends that won’t break the bank. Really love that about him. All in all, a great experience here at the new PR&Partners!
Oh and one of the assistant stylists Shannon is also fabulous if you are lucky enough to have her!

I had a wonderful experience with Caitlin K. at this new PR at Partners in Belmont. I have thick hair but Caitlin worked quickly– the time flew by. She described each product that she was using, how she was going to cut my hair and then blow dry– nice that there were no secrets along the way. She also gave me helpful advice about how to style my hair at home with a straightening iron– much appreciated. She’s young, current and friendly– I would definitely recommend her!
The salon itself was clean and the other staff I encountered were friendly, in person and over the phone. Also love the hair products they carry– using Oribe was a treat and I can absolutely tell a difference!

I don’t think I can say enough good things about this salon and Stephanie in particular. The first time I visited the salon, I was ready to cut off my super long, super thick, heavy hair, but Stephanie calmed me down and was telling me about specific styles that would take the weight out of my hair without sacrificing length.
Stephanie is really good at determining exactly what you want, even if you’re not entirely sure yourself. She took time during the consultation to ask me questions and show me tons of pictures for different ideas that she had as I was explaining what I wanted. I felt like we were 100% on the same page before she took me to the shampoo station to start the process.
I recommend Stephanie to everyone I know because she has an eye for hair and what will look best on you. She always makes sure my hair lays perfectly when styled and will make adjustments if necessary. She wants your hair to be perfect just as much if not more than you do. I’m very particular about my hair (I’m that person), but I know I’m in good hands with Stephanie!
BONUS: The shampoo stations have reclining massage chairs while you’re getting your shampoo/​head massage. :)

I LOVE this salon! Just as the sign on the front of the building says, everything is fresh and new, from the paint, the tools and equipment they use and especially the hair care. The stylists have so much knowledge of the products, the processes and the various styles, they are absolutely amazing! My favorite stylist is Caitlin. I love how she takes care of my hair and I learn something new from her about caring for my hair every time I come in. Mary K.

Love, love, love the new salon at Belmont Chase. I followed my stylist (Caitlin Kenney) because she is AMAZING! She recently transferred from the Reston location. The new salon is very nice and in a great location, but I go for Caitlin. She is the best stylist that I have ever had and a genius with color. She never gets it wrong.

Took my 1 year old to get his first professional hair cut here because I didn’t want him to end up with a bowl or buzz cut. Wow, Katie did an amazing job! My son received so many compliments on his hair.
$ 35 plus tip is a bit pricey for for a child’s haircut but Katie did such a great job that we’ll be back.

I’ve been going to the Tyson’s location for years but have tried the new Belmont location a couple times now. Love love love it! From the fabulous massage chairs and gorgeous airy salon to the super friendly staff. It’s slightly out of the way for me but totally worth it! Ask for Dave and Shannon, I promise you won’t be disappointed. One happy customer!

Kati was great! This was my first time at this recently opened salon and I was a bit nervous to try it out since it has only been open for a month but it was perfect. I was able to get an appointment on short notice and Kati was able to get exact color and cut I was hoping for. Glad to find a great hair designer in Ashburn — definitely recommend her!

I love this salon! Everything is brand new as they just opened. They have all the new styling gadgets and hair products on the market. I even got coached as to which shampoo’s and conditioners I should use since the current shampoo I was using was leaving a waxy residue on my hair. I love this salon and even other stylist will come over to see the new you and give you complements, it makes me feel so happy. Coming in here really gives me a great confidence boost. I recommend seeing Ruslana! I’ve been going to her for a few years now and she hasn’t disappointed me yet! You get what you pay for. And MORE! They will shampoo, cut, blow dry and STYLE your hair starting at $ 45 which is a great price point for everything they do. I will be back again and again.

This new salon is amazing! Brand new, well decorated, spacious and clean. They have amazing stylist!!! Dave, Caitlin, and the whole crew and beyond talented. They are also always friendly and professional. I’ve gone to these guys for years and was happy to follow them to the new location.

Outstanding experience. Michelle M is amazing and knows her clients’ needs. She pays attention to the details which is the difference between a good cut and fantastic one. She has an amazing eye for color that works for you — a true talent. And… Ask for Matt for wash and the most awesome massage. Seriously. Best Ever.

Highly recommend Michael G! He did a great job on my hair — really took the time to understand what I wanted. He explained what he was doing at each step and made me feel confident in his skills! And now my hair looks great!
And, if you need color, Teresa W. is the woman to see! She knows her colors and technique, great with suggestions, and is very efficient!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE and GREAT RESULTS. You know you are in good hands the second you walk through the door. The whole staff is so friendly and welcoming. The facilities are clean and comfortable. Can’t beat the reclining massage chair while you get your hair shampooed! Dave was my stylist and he achieved exactly the look I was hoping for. Amazing guy and incredible stylist. Couldn’t recommend PR at Partners Belmont Chase more!

Hugely talented stylists and colorists. You won’t be disappointed. Dave has been my stylist for 6 years. I’m so happy that he has opened a salon closer to my home in Ashburn. The salon is new and the atmosphere is inviting. The staff are courteous and warm. Great selection of retail products.

Dave is the best hair stylist I have ever worked with. I quite literally come from hours away to see him. I cannot recommend him enough.

Miss my salon in TONY & GUY in Europe. I drop in now that I’m back in the states and although I appreciate they could take me as a walk in I felt rushed through the consultation process which proved to be disastrous. I told her that I like the gold tones in my hair. Then after she washed it she started to tell me «I pulled the color from our other salon but felt it was bit too dark». I said «what color?» She said from our other salon. I said «I stopped going to that salon because the girl there would always make it too dark and always with a red base.»
What part of «I like the gold tones in my hair means — by all means do what you feel like and make it as red and as dark as you want». Sadly the consultation is where she completely missed the mark. Glad as she said «your hair is curly so it won’t grab the color and will wash out in a couple washing anyway». Washed it last night PRAYING the color faded some. We shall see once I dry it. Ha!
If you have someone you love it might be worth the $ 1500 plane ticket to London for the color or just wait cuz this place is not worth the tears.
Anyone have a great suggestion for a colorist in the Area?
***since tried another stylist Stephanie and therefore changed my review***

These stylist are the real deal. Beautiful new salon, friendly staff, easy booking process, great products, affordable services, and very knowledgeable stylists! Dave Akers is a hair God! He’s been styling my hair for a few years now and I’ve NEVER had a negative experience. I’m constantly changing colors from blonde to brunette — and I’ve had no issues. No ugly colors tones. It’s about time Loudoun County got a real hair salon!!!

Okay so here’s the back story, I had been previously dying my own hair for years and it ended up platinum blonde and I wanted to darken it and messed it up. I came to PR at Belmont after I had chopped my hair to save it from all my damage. I cut off about 10 inches of fried blonde. I befriended a great stylist here! She understood I didn’t want to chop it anymore than I’d already done but she gave great layers and trimmed the ends. They all are pretty much fantastic and friendly even if you aren’t their client which I LOVE. I came for Ruslana, once meeting her she was very helpful, knowledgable and super sweet. Talked to me every step of the process, let me know what they were using and understood my vision for my hair! The washing stations have chairs that massage your back while they rinse you out. SO HEAVENLY! You get a complimentary head massage as well as a free haircut on your first colouring. For me this experience was definitely worth 5 stars, I was excited and I definitely recommend!

Happy to be the very first client at Dave Akers’ brand new salon PR at Partners Belmont Chase this morning. It was the first time I was ever greeted with a champagne toast before a haircut — grand openings are the greatest! His new place is awesome and he has such a great team working with him. If any of you are in the Ashburn area and are looking for a good place to go, check them out!
