Only gave four stars since hair dresser did not follow my instructions not to cut back of my hair too short. I wanted a pixie bob so I could cover my CI headpiece and gave him picture of hair cut. Instead he gave me a short pixie cut. read more

Haemi just saved my hair's life. The cut and color was perfect. She's also really nice, easy to talk to. I'll definitely come back.

Pros: - The place is gorgeous! - The front desk stuff is polished, professional and welcoming. - Services offered are priced competitively. - You can find a time slot for a last-minute appointment relatively easily. Now to the Cons: - Very mediocre service: I went in for a trim and ended up with much shorter hair than I agreed to, and a mullet!!! I can't wait for my hair to grow back, and have to be very creative with they way I style my hair now because it looks terrible! :( All in all, I really liked the customer service and the place but the end result for my hair was absolutely devastating! I would probably go back one more time and try a different stylist. read more

I'm so glad that I trusted Yelp and tried Creative Salon & Spa. First of all, the Salon & Spa is beautiful. It's really relaxing and all the employees are so nice. Within 5 minutes of being there, at least 3 people asked me if I needed a drink or anything. Second, I came in to get my eyebrows done first. They were out of control messy and really needed to be reshaped. I'm very particular about who touches the hair on my head and my eyebrows because.. Well. People can notice mistakes. So I was really skeptical about someone new doing my eyebrows. They suggested a lady named Sylvia or Silvia, but she was amazing. She was very cautious with the wax and made sure to consult me with what I wanted EXACTLY before she even started. At one point, she asked me to look at my eyebrows and made a couple suggestions before even starting. She made sure to talk me through everything so that there were no surprises in the end. I was so grateful for that. I would have freaked out otherwise. I was so pleased by the atmosphere and the reviews for haircuts that I decided to go in for one. Again, I'm very particular with whoever cuts my hair. And I've had my fairshare of bad haircuts. I've read soooo many reviews about LYDIA, that I requested her! I'm someone who doesn't particularly like having my haircut because it's always too choppy and I really dislike the feeling after a haircut. However, this was the first time I walked away from a haircut and I didn't want to cry. I walked in with a TON of split ends and really terrible side bangs that this woman messed up a couple months ago. So I got my hair washed (Which felt amazing.....) and met Lydia. Now I've had a lot of awkward haircuts where the hairdresser never talked to me and I've had a lot of annoying haircutters who barely paid attention to my hair. Lydia is amazing though. Not only is she an incredibly sweet person. But she's amazing at what she does. She genuinely listens to what you want and makes sure she executes it the exact what that you described it and in a way that she's proud to let you leave and represent her. The best part was at the end when she dried my hair, she went over my haircut again and texturized it. I think this is an important part that a lot of hairdressers forget because it makes my hair feel like I didn't just get a haircut. She takes her time and even gave me a couple tips to style my hair. I'm sure that because Lydia is such an amazing hairdresser, the quality of the Salon and Spa is all up to par as well. You really won't be disappointed. read more

I did a lot of research to find someone who knows how to color and cut hair, especially for Asians. I have dark roots and long hair, and I didn't want to go to just anyone to cut my hair. I found Creative Salon & Spa by reading their reviews on Yelp and pictures of their work on their Instagram page. I'm so glad I found Haemi! She listened to exactly what I wanted, and she delivered! She cut off 5 inches, and colored my roots and toned my blonde out, making my hair look more healthy and not so dry. I will definitely come back to see her again, even if I have to drive far to have her do my hair. It is worth it, and you won't be disappointed! read more

This place ROCKS! Yes, it is a little pricy but you pay for what you get! The price does not keep me away. Every time I go to this salon I leave happy. I always ask for Brandon and love what he does to my hair. He has colored it and cut it. I highly recommend this place to everyone!!! read more

THE BEST STYLIST OUT THERE!!!! I have been seeing Fernanda for any and every need I have for my hair for about 8 years now. From the first time she did my hair I knew that I had struck gold! Fernanda's knowledge of different hair types is really key! My hair is thick and course and she never doubted me when I told her about the crazy things that my hair can do - She just works her magic and the perfect cut always makes my hair look like a million bucks. I am constantly in there to see her for regular highlights and even give her full authority to have fun and throw in some funky color sometimes. That's saying a lot about someone if you trust them that much with your hair!! I always trust her opinion and love that when I walk in with a picture of what I want my hair to look like, she's totally honest as to if its going to work with my hair type or not. She recommends the products for your hair that will actually work and she doesn't try to get more money out of you with buying products and accessories that you don't need. If you're not getting your hair done by Fernanda you are MISSING OUT!! I would recommend her to the edge of the earth and back. GO SEE FERNANDA! TELL HER THAT LYN AND YELP SENT YOU! :) read more

Haemi did an awesome job. I am very happy with my haircut and relaxer. Haemi does all hair and specializes in natural hair and transitions. She is very talented. I highly recommend her! read more

I have to say, for a walk in visit on a Monday afternoon I was treated just as if I had an appointment. I didn't feel rushed at all. Even though while I was being taken care of Tammy's scheduled appointment came in and she still didn't rush!!! I went in for a french pedicure and added a little decoration at the end. For 45 dollars I got what I expected. A served drink, leg and foot massage, and 5-star pedicure. Also I just wanted to sit down, relax, and read a book; which Tammy respected my space and did a spectacular job! read more

This salon is truly an amazing place. The stylists are wonderful, the atmosphere is very relaxing. They make you feel as if you are the only person there. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a warm smile, then 2you are offered water or soda or coffee. I have never had to wait there longer than 5 mins and then you are brought back for your treatment. I love the modern look of the place and it's extremely clean which is a huge thing for me. My stylist Jana, I hope I am spelling her name correctly, is warm and caring. She takes her time cutting my hair and is very gentle and meticulous. I have been to many upscale salons, this place beats them all hands down. read more

It's a little pricey but generally does a good job. I've been going here for years and lately have not had good service. My regular girl actually left during my appointment because she had a wedding to go to. The intern shampooed my hair and I was asked if I could come back next week for color and trim while I was being shampooed! I had an appointment as well so it's not like they didn't know I was coming in or for what services! I generally wait awhile when I do have appointments. I have 5 girls coming in from out of town and tried to schedule an appointment over 2 months in advance. They couldn't see us earlier than 12:30pm for a 3:30 event in the NOVA area. Long time customer loyalty-forget it. I've since found a new salon. read more

I used to be a client at Creative Salon & Spa. I'm considering not returning. I was desperate for a haircut and kept calling to make an appointment with Lydia and was told she was on vacation. Thanks to a fellow yelper, I found her at LifeSpa. She left Creative and the salon as been lying to clients and telling them that Lydia is on a two-month vacation. I was told she'd return on Aug 25th. If I had patiently waited until Aug 25th and called to make an appointment I wonder what would have happened. It's shady and not cool. I would never return again if I didn't get such great mani/pedis from Tammy and eyebrow waxing too. If Tammy leaves them too, I'm out. read more

This salon is great! The staff is so friendly, the place is clean and the decor is nice! I would definitely recommend this salon for any pampering needs! Martha the nail tech is so sweet and did a fantastic job on my nails. During the month of August they are offering 10% off for anyone who's birthday is within the month. read more

MY FELLOW BLONDES, go see Haemi! She is incredibly attentive, kind and above all else- TALENTED! I live down the street and after reading her other positive yelp reviews, I went to see her. She asked many questions about my preferences with coloring and highlight placement, which was super impressive. She placed babylights in my hair and spent a little under 2 hours doing them, which is also a huge indicator to me that she actually cares about the results her clients receive. I walked out of the salon with a huge smile on my face because not only were the platinum blonde babylights the perfect hue, they were meticulously placed and were absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to see her again because not only is she extremely talented, she's SO fun to talk to. read more

My experience was disappointing. I came for a haircut and specifically requested a stylist that knows how to style curly hair. I was told that I'd get Deva haircut (it's a technique of cutting and styling curly hair) that I had had previously in different salons. The haircut itself was so-so, nothing really bad, but shape definitely can use some improvements, too much volume on the bottom that gets you that dreaded "triangle hair". Unfortunately, my hairdresser knew nothing about styling curly hair. Instead of scrunching hair to encourage curls he put some product in my hair and smoothed it all over, followed by half-hearted attempt to dry it. When I left the salon, my hair was still wet (who knew that using hair dryer was that challenging?), curls were gone, hair on top of my head was completely flat, with ends getting puffy (still wet, remember?). It looked sad. When I got home the first thing I did was to wash my hair again and style it myself. It was frankly the worst attempt of styling my hair by a professional. I would not recommend this for someone with curly hair. Other than haircut, I had no problems with the salon. It looked nice and clean, staff were courteous and pleasant. Price was also lower than I expected, but calling that a Deva cut was a bad joke. read more

This place was alright, I might or might not go back. I think the hair cut is good. Some days I think it might be a little crooked, but I cant tell. The lady was very nice, and the salon itself is nice and trendy. It was more expensive than I thought because website lists prices "starting at" whatever price. Just be aware of that, since I missed it. I also thought I'd take advantage of the yelp "check-in" coupon, but I guess I didn't read that either, because it was only off something over $100 or maybe it was $120, and my cut was something in the $60-$70 range. It was "ok". read more

I've been coming here since April of 2017 when I did a dramatic 10 inch chop and I totally trusted Hemi with the cut! I then came back in 2019 for my first hair color! Hemi was great and I also go back for my toners and cuts and wouldn't really go to anyone else! read more

Had a facial with Martha a week ago = awesome. This lady will take care of your face and give you all the advice you need. My skin looks much better now. Thank you :) read more

I decided to try this place out yesterday after seeing all the positive yelp reviews and I'm really glad I did!! It's been a long time since I've gone for a haircut and the stylist has actually listened to me! I had a great experience yesterday, not only did the woman who cut my hair listen to me and what I wanted, but she constantly asked if I liked the layers she was putting in, if I wanted to go shorter, etc. Another huge plus, they didn't try to push any products on me. I hate salons that don't stop pushing. I'd highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed! read more

I don't usually write reviews but this one is definitely very deserving of it. I met Jessica Lauren roughly 2 years ago at Bubbles in Potomac Mills Mall. My hair was so dead from previous coloring it would fall out if I brushed it, it was so damaged. Not only did she repair my hair she also dyed it the color I wanted. I then continued to go to Jessica at Bubbles Salon in Potomac Mills. She would spend countless hours trying to repair my hair and ALWAYS dye it the color I was happy with. She shortly after left bubbles and went to another Salon in Chantilly called Creative Salon and spas. I ended up going to another salon and they totally ruined my hair turning it some sort of green color. I couldn't go to work for 4 days because it was so bad. Last week I traveled to Chantilly to see Jessica Lauren at creative Salon and Spa and she proved to me that she is very skilled, confident, knowledgable, passionate, she communicates VERY well and is so kind. There is something special about this girl! She needs to have her own show! When you meet her just her confidence alone will make you feel so comfortable. There are some people that are good at thing s but she is great. Please go to creative Salon and Spa anybody there is great but ask for Jessica Lauren she is amazing. The staff there is amazing and once Jessica Lauren does your hair go tell the world cuz she's something special! read more

I went in for a consultation appointment and booked my balayage for the following week. Tanya worked on my hair and she did a great job. I also enjoyed getting to talk to her as well! Overall, I was satisfied with the experience and price. Since it was my first time getting my hair done there, I got 15% off - which is pretty sweet!! read more

A very expensive coloring and cut $225.00! I have never paid so much and I was given a 15% discount?? Never returning. My previous colorist charged a lot less and styled my hair as a bonus. read more

I had some time to kill in the area and decided to get a pedicure. Overall, I'm so glad I found this place. The salon itself is very upscale despite its plaza location and there is a separate, quiet area in the back for nail services. They also had a great selection of OPI and Essie polishes as well. I got my pedicure done by Tammy and couldn't be more pleased. She's very friendly and professional, and she did a great job on my toenails and calluses. I definitely recommend booking your next nail appointment with Tammy! read more

Jessica cuts my hair and does an awesome job. She's very professional and thorough. I'm glad I found her!

Lydia is fantastic. If you're looking for a new hair stye and someone you can trust, give her a call. I'm very particular about people cutting my hair. Since I'm not from around here, it's been a challenge finding someone. When I saw the other reviews for her I decided to give the place a try. I wasn't disappointed. Lydia has been cutting my hair for a year now. read more

I've been going to Creative for the past year - and I've made some drastic changes in my hairstyle during this time. I went to see Silviya since day 1 and have since been a loyal customer. I cut off 12 inches when I first came in for my haircut. I thought she had cut more than what I asked because she curled the ends with a blow dryer in the end which made it look shorter. Needless to say I had a little mental breakdown until I got home, to which I just straightened my hair and actually ended up looking amazing. The next visit I drastically changed my hair color (I'm asian and have very dark brown hair) to ash blonde - which took more than one visit to get to the color I wanted. Each time I came in for my roots to be touched up she lightened my hair a little bit more. Silviya knows exactly what colors fit for my hair type and made sure that I would be happy with the color it would end up being. Unfortunately Silviya has cut her hours and now only works on the weekends, as she's teaching at a cosmotology school nearby. But as long as she's still there I'll be going to her. She's the first person I've ever completely trusted to take care of my hair! read more

I had been visiting this salon on a regular basis. I loved having my nails done by Martha. She was great. However I was not happy when my credit cards were hacked at this location. I will not return. read more

While looking at Yelp for ratings on hair stylists, I came across the reviews for Creative's stylist Lydia. I booked an appointment with her for a haircut and was VERY happy with the outcome. Lydia took a lot of time with me prior to my cut to consult with what I was interested in achieving out of my haircut. Her cut was excellent and she obviously has technical skills. I have found my new stylist! read more

I went to Creative Salon and Spa because I had gotten a gift certificate from friends. I had a great experience. The receptionist was super friendly, which I don't normally find to be the case in salons in northern Virginia. Lydia did my hair. I got highlights, lowlights, a trim and style. Throughout the whole process, she explained why she was doing what she was doing. Her cut and color are top notch. She told me about beneficial products, but I didn't feel pressured to spend the extra cash. Lydia is phenomenal. read more

I love this place! Visited here today with friend for a manicure, pedicure and eyebrow wax. Like another reviewer posted, the place is amazing - we were made to feel right at home when we arrived. Everyone was extremely friendly, we were offered tea, soda, and coffee when we arrived. The place is clean, the price is right and the services are wonderful. Tammy did my mani/pani and eyebrow wax. I was so impressed with the place I made an appointment to come back for a haircut tomorrow! Can't wait to go back! read more

Jenny was great. It's funny how one haircut can make you look so different. This place is not expensive either. Shampoo, cut and blow dry came out to 50 bucks. Will definitely come back. read more

Ask for Haemi! she is great with colors and has a wonderful eye and talent for cool, sassy cuts. Haemi is awesome at listening to clients of all needs. Come with a vision for a specific style you are looking for, and she will create the exact match and make it even better! But I also love coming in and saying, "do your thing Haemi". She's absolutely fantastic! read more

On Chinese New Year, I finally decided to get a a whole new look after all these years. So I booked an appointment online at 3am, Friday night. The next morning, I got the time and stylist that I wanted. The place is beautiful, workers are friendly, and they have CHOCOLATE! I waited only for about 3 minutes before shampooing. It was soooo relaxing. After that, I went over to ASHLEY to start my haircut. She was very focused, quick, and professional. Maybe that's why we didn't converse much, but that's ok! My hair came out exactly the way I wanted it. She cut 3-4 inches off just like I requested it. Fixed my bangs until I was satisfied lol. My new look is absolutely adorable and I look like a teenager again! :D Overall, my experience was positive and they have just earned a new customer! The pricing is a little expensive ( the most I've ever paid), but it's worth it for a nice hair cut. BTW, you get 10% off as a new customer! Me Happy & my boyfriend loves my new look :) read more

I'm super stoked about my hair right now. I had an appointment with Jaina to get a Bright red color put in my hair. I called and made an appointment about a week ago due to all the great reviews. I had a bad experience with another salon's consultation and decided to look around. I became very discouraged when many stylist told me I couldn't get my hair red because I have dark hair, I didn't want to give up on my dream look so I decided to give Creative Hair Salon a try. Everyone here is friendly and very knowledgable. The process was long but totally worth it!!! Jaina you are Amazing !!! I found my salon. read more

I found this place based on all the terrific reviews. It really is a superb place! They take time to make sure your hair is perfect. I really like this place and it's my new fav. Go there. Great customer service. read more

I just moved to Centreville and was looking for a new salon near my house. I used to go to Vidal Sassoon in Tysons which I LOVE but the $100 haircuts were getting too expensive. I decided to try this place based on the reviews and really liked the results. I was randomly assigned to Ashley and she did a great job on my hair. I wanted a really modern bob and she took her time to get that perfect angled cut. I was really impressed with her. I will definitely go back and glad I found this place. My only critic would be the hair washing. She was a little rough for my taste but if you like that then you will love her. read more

One of the only salon's in the area that can style men's hair really well for an affordable rate. I love this place and will keep going back. read more

It was time to try a new, trendier salon, with better prices and Creative Salon and Spa did not disappoint. Sadly, my stylist is no longer there, but I am confident the next one to cut and color my hair will do a smashing job. I also took my mom there for a pedicure (after leaving a highly rated salon and spa) and were thrilled to find the comfortable chairs in the back, clean environment and bowl of chocolate candies. read more

came here for a pedicure and was highly impressed! The salon itself is very nice, and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The service I received was more than I expected for the price and I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Creative Salon and Spa gives a great first impression. The interior reminds you of those upscale salons you see in movies. Super clean, very spacious. The staff friendly as well I came in to get a mens haircut from Haemi, who I had been going to when she worked at another salon. She is great with men's haircuts, but I saw her working on a girl's ombre client before me that looked amazing as well. Haemi is super friendly, very professional and will walk you through the entire haircut if its your first time with her. I trust her enough to do my hair without any concrete instructions, but she'll still give me a heads up before she does anything too drastic so that I'm comfortable with whatever is going on. I also bought some hair wax at the salon (Sebastian matte putty) that Haemi specifically recommended for me, and I actually really like it despite my general distaste for hair products. Creative is a bit on the pricey side compared to other smaller salons, but they more than make up for it with the classy environment/decor and their skills behind the chair. I will definitely be coming back here from now on. Thank you Haemi! read more
