Salon Cielo

I am a big fan of Phillip! It’s so rare to find a talented, upscale stylist who’s also genuinely down to earth. He is one of the best stylists I have ever had!
Sadly, I had to remove two stars due to some bad customer service I experienced lately. I called the salon to ask for more information about their deep conditioning treatments, since quite a few different kinds were listed online, but without descriptions. The receptionist put me on hold for five minutes, then took my phone number down and told me someone would call me. Over two hours went by, and no one called so I called back. When I explained the situation, the receptionist snapped at me and put me on the phone with a stylist. The stylist’s tone was quite unprofessional, and when she was done answering my questions she hung up on me without even asking if I wanted to book an appointment. That experience was frankly unacceptable, because I was basically saying «TAKE MY MONEY just tell me how» and I was treated like a nuisance.
As much as I like Phillip, I’ll be getting my conditioning treatment somewhere else, thanks.

Disappointed in this place as my most recent visit may have to be my last. I was quoted $ 110 for single process color and blow after a blow dry appt. When I came back, they had me with a different stylist who wanted $ 200+. They found me someone else who would be at the price they quoted. My first color and blow was great, and was $ 110. My second visit I did a color cut and blow, for $ 140. I didn’t like the haircut but could live with it, but then why when I went for my 3^rd color 1 – 2 months later, I’m told I need another haircut? (If I already have split ends, wouldn’t that mean the cut was done wrong the first time?) I said no to the cut and was charged $ 130 for some reason. Same color and blow services (actually kind of unhappy with the blowout this time — maybe because my last blowout at FLOW in Reston was so amazing) but suddenly $ 20 more. I mentioned it to the woman at the desk, but honestly their receptionists are part of the problem and don’t know the correct prices for services. The pricing system just seems sleazy and it’s uncomfortable to go and never know what you’re paying for. Update: If you get your hair colored here, even after 2 – 3 washes, if you get your hair wet (for example, swimming) the color will come off and stain your clothing. Very, very annoying. Ruined an expensive white bathing suit this way.

Kris did an amazing job on highlighting and cutting my hair! Always consistent and always happy with the outcome! Highly recommend!

I made an appointment with Luz after seeing all the positive reviews about her. I am definitely happy with my choice as she was amazing. I already had highlights that had grown out so I needed root touch up and I took her recommendation of balayage/​ombré. I wasn’t sure of what color to do but she was very helpful and open with her professional suggestions. She also cares for the health of the hair. Her personality is just so real as others put it and very friendly and approachable. I finally found my regular hair stylist I was looking for and will be coming back for treatments and cut! [Will upload photos soon]

I love this place especially because it has one of the best stylist I’ve known in the DC region her name is Luz and she is fantastic !!! She did wonderful job with my highlights and ombré a couple weeks ago I brought my daughter today and has given her a beautiful hair cut and stile, Great advice is from her for us to be able to take care for her hair, love her!!!

Lexy is terrific! She does a fabulous job with my hair. It always looks terrific and its lots of compliments. She is excellent. She listens and advises. She is fast and i could not be happier!
Her name is Lexy Byun.

I’ve been going to Luz at Tysons Corner for years now and she’s honestly the best stylist I’ve ever had. Even after my move to New York, I STILL go back to Tysons to get my hair done by her. She’s so good, but most importantly she’s so REAL. If I tell her I want xyz hair color, or want to get bangs, or want to get layers, she always tells me straight up if it’s a good idea or not. She gives me her honest opinion on what will look good. And she really cares! She cares to make you look good, but also how to take care of your hair and maintain healthy hair. She has given me so many useful tips and treatments for healthy hair and I am so thankful to have her as my hairstylist! She has turned my thick frizzy hair into beautiful long and healthy hair! I know I’m always in good hands with Luz, and trust her with my hair completely. Thank you Luz!

I had a wonderful experience at Salon Cielo. I read up on some reviews here before making an appt. I requested Christi and I am so glad I did. I arrived right at my appointment time and did not have to wait at all. All staff members I encountered over the visit were very nice.
I had (pretty much) virgin brown hair to the middle of my back that was very dead on the ends. I came to Christi with a few pictures of long bobs with balayage and we talked about them for a few minutes before deciding which one might be the best model for what I was aiming for. I wasn’t entirely set on exactly what I wanted before I went in (mostly on how blonde and how short I wanted to go), but talking through them with her was a huge help in making a decision.
I also appreciated that she did not come off as judgy when she saw how dead my ends were or when it was obvious how noob I was at hair.
I was there for just under 3 hours for cut, color, wash, treatment and styling. I never felt like she was rushing through the process at all– it was very obvious she was meticulous with her work. When she styled my hair, she walked me though some quick and easy ways to curl and style my hair for everyday wear. Christi was also fun to talk to and down to earth.
The price was very fair for the area (especially considering some of my friends pay close to or upwards of $ 400 for the same type of work). I got exactly the look I was hoping for when I first came in.
I was extremely pleased with the whole experience and even more pleased with the results.

Salon Cielo is in Tysons II on the first floor. I made an appointment at Salon Cielo with Lexy and I definitely enjoyed my first experience there. I came in a few minutes before my appointment, and did not have to wait too long before she was finished with her client.
I went in for a balayage. I already had highlights that outgrew the roots and needed her to fix that. After discussing the color and look that I was going for, Lexy created a mix for my hair. I was a bit nervous since I’ve never done balayage, but Lexy was great to talk to and she checked in on the color a few times to make sure everything was turning out the way it should be. Turns out, the color came out great! I was really happy with the color and it complemented my skin tone and base hair color as well.
She also trimmed my bangs really well. I usually get very particular about my bangs and expressed to her exactly what I wanted. she was great in working with me and let me know what she was doing as she was cutting them.
I’ve already made an appointment to go back for coloring and bang trim.
I highly recommend her for hair color and cut. I usually call in ahead and make sure my schedule matches up with her availability, and she’s very accommodating.

I love this salon. Phillip is by far and away the best colorist, and hair stylist I have ever had. He always makes me feel so welcome and special. I would recommend Phillip to anyone in the DC metro area! I live in DC and drive out to tysons just to get my hair done by Phillip. I have taken multiple friends and family members to get my hair done at this Salon Cielo, and all have come out looking better than before! (Although Phillip always does the best.)

Would highly recommend Christi! I color my hair a fairly bold color and the previous salon I went to was not able to apply the dye in a healthy way. My normally silky hair was becoming dry, damaged and looked like «sticky pasta» (as Christy put it haha!) After just two visits with her (about 3 months total), my hair is nearly back to normal! The color is still vibrant, the cut/​style is perfect for straightening or curling and best of all, it’s becoming its silky texture again! She can handle color, cut, wash, treatment, style with speed and talent. She knows what’s best for hair and gives her honest opinion. I’ve never walked out disappointed. :)

Christi L is amazing!!! She’s a very honest stylist– and takes her job seriously. She’s amazing at color– especially if you’re trying to go from black to blonde which is VERY hard– but she makes it look easy and amazing. She listens to everything you want and makes sure she gets it done. She’s not the type that tries to make you do other things. I’m amazed.

If you come to this salon you have to get a haircut from Christ Li. I have been going to her for over two years now and have only had the best experiences. I have changed up my hairstyle several times and each time she cuts it the best way possible to not only make it stylish but to match me as well. She listens really well and does exactly what you ask, while adding some stylish additions to your haircut that elevates the haircut to another level. She is also one of the coolest and nicest people you can meet. She is great person to spend the 30 (or more) minutes it takes to get a haircut. She has become a friend. So if you want the best haircut you can get and have an awesome person give it to you go see Christi.

If you want your hair to look fabulous, set up an appointment with Christi. I’ve been going to her for years now and she always does a great job. She is a stylist that evolves and knows the newest, hottest trends. I’ve been rocking long hair with an ombré for three years now and always got compliments left and right. Recently, I needed a change and got a lob with highlights and I love it. She really knows what she’s doing but more importantly she listens to what you want and tells her honest opinion on how to strive for the look you want. She’s honestly great and I’m a little salty because she used to be my little secret but she can be yours too.

I loved my experience when I went here! I had an appointment with Luz and she was beyond amazing! She met with me, looked at pictures of what I wanted, and made sure we were both on the same page.
I wanted a natural balayage look and she gave me just that! I definitely recommend this salon and if you go make sure you ask for Luz!

I absolutely recommend Salon Cielo at Tyson’s 2. If you go, get Luz. She is AWESOME! She is very friendly and really listens to what you want. She takes her time to make sure that your hair is perfect and has no problem changing things if you need it. Also, Erica works in the back and does hair washing among other things. She also does an AMAZING job! You get a head/​neck massage with your shampoo and she takes her time instead of rushing you through! They are both really awesome every time!

DO NOT GO HERE!
Save your money and do your hair a favor.
After reading good reviews, I decided to give this place a shot.
When I called I was very specific about what I wanted.
I asked for a subtle change to my current color by using ashy blond to give a balayage effect.
I have had this done a dozen times in my home city but haven’t been home in awhile.
When I got there I explained exactly what I wanted.
Halfway through I begin to smell bleach. It turns out the stylist was bleaching my ENTIRE head!
I didn’t know if I should have her stop or keep going so I had her pause so I could think about it because I have never bleached my hair as my hair is extremely healthy and take extreme pride in ensuring it is never damaged.
In the end, I had the stylist finish because I had a meeting the next day and did not want to look ridiculous.
After further digging, I found out the stylist has only been working for a month and «thinks» the only way to give a balayage effect is through bleach. Ummmm NO!
This occurred in mid-​August and have waited to write a review because I wanted to do some research and there was another issue… I was over charged.
My receipt states $ 150. My card was charged $ 210. The next day, I went into the salon with my receipt and the staff was very surprised by this and said they would fix the issue ASAP.
I received a call the next from the stylist who ruined my hair and she said she told me the service will be $ 210. NO SHE DIDNT! I now realize there is some sort of scam going on.
Check you receipts! It is bizarre for the receipt not to match your CC bill.
Additionally, my hair is now falling out, breaking, dry and totally damaged. I know it is just hair, but it is embarrassing to have clumps of hair falling out.
So I have contacted Cielo Corporate twice at this point and no response.

I received the worst haircut of my adult life here. My hairdresser did not know what he was doing, and cut off substantially more than the one inch that I had asked him to trim.
The salon itself is well overdue for a renovation. And it was full of older women getting blowouts.
Perhaps this place just specializes in mom hair. And if that is what you are looking for, then Salon Cielo may be your place, as the prices are low.

Luz has mastered color, highlights and the art of blow drying. I have never been happier. She is personable, and will guide you in the right direction. I always walk out of the salon feeling beautiful.
The prices are comparable for the area. Honestly, I think it is wise to go to a great salon, and find someone that is the best at their craft and pay a little extra. Your hair is important. This is not the time to find a bargain hair salon, in my humble opinion.
There is plenty of parking at the mall (Tysons II). I usually park near the entrance
to Legal Seafoods and take the escalators down to the first floor (near Anthropologie).
Grab a salad at Sweet Greens and do a little shopping while you are in the area!

I saw Michelle yesterday. Michelle is such a great stylist. She’s the best! And she’s so flippin’ nice, too!
Right now I’m growing my hair super super… SUPER long. ***There’s a special way to cut long hair… so it looks good while you keep growing it out and Michelle is a certified master at it.***
This is something Michelle is great at: she can take into consideration that I’m growing out my hair, so I need a special cut that looks good without the monthly maintenance medium/​short cuts get.
I never bring in pictures anymore… I really just speak about lifestyle or mood when I ask for a cut. For example, in the past, I’ve been able to tell her I need a cut that I can just air dry Monday-​Friday. Another time when it was 10,000 degrees outside, I told her how heavy my thick hair felt, but that I wanted to keep the long length. She put thinning shears to it and at the end of the cut — I still had really long hair, but she thinned it down. She’s basically a magician.
Yesterday, she cleaned up the entire style with long layers, and trimmed my bangs to a side-​swept style. I love my hair!
((I haven’t done a short cut with Michelle in years, but when I first started seeing her in 1998, that’s all we did. She’s really great at those, too.))
