Technicians are skillful, but prices are extremely high. And seem to go higher with each visit! Agree with review that Hannah is consistently rude. It's like she's doing you a favor booking your appointment. I'll go to DV occasionally as I do like one stylist and the spa staff, but have found some great alternatives! read more

This was my first appointment with Yvette and could tell immediately she was an experienced professional, and that I was absolutely in good hands. She has excellent communication skills to make sure I knew what she planned to accomplish step by step during the appointment. It's now several days later and my skin still feels amazing and can truly say it was a great facial. I immediately told my mother that she should also make an appointment too. read more

Do yourself a favor and save your money and your hair. I had my hair "colored " by Erin and she almost completely fried my hair and turned it from a beautiful butter blonde to trailer trash yellowy orange. If you've ever seen fried hair you'll recognize the description. I've never been so traumatized from getting my hair done but there you have it. I don't normally leave bad reviews but I couldn't live with the knowledge that some other poor woman would go through what I went through to bring my hair back from the disaster that is Erin and this hair salon. Thankfully there are plenty of talented hairdressers in north Virginia. read more

Never got my hair done here... called to make an appointment and Hannah, the receptionist was straight up RUDE and gave me attitude. I thanked her for the availabilities with a stylist and all she answered with was, "Mmhmm" and just hung up on me. Bad taste in my mouth so I will not make an appointment here. Train your employees better, Dolce. read more

Severely overpriced. The color didn't even come out how I wanted. Not bad but not great.... And definitely not worth the price. They come off as "higher end" but I definitely expected more for what I paid. I don't mind paying but I definitely need the quality to match. There are a lot more options in the surrounding area for less and better quality. No thanks! read more

I have been been seeing Jean Paul for years - his skill, talent, passion, etc. are completely unmatched. The salon staff are always so kind, and accommodating when possible (I know there's a lot of moving pieces to this!) I would follow JP to the ends of the earth for his work on my hair, but I'm very glad he's nearby at this amazing salon. read more

I've been coming to this salon for years and have had no problems until this morning. Lately we've been having unexpected inclement weather and so many things have been changed last minute due to this. I got a call from Hannah on Thursday to confirm my appointment for this morning (Saturday). I told her I was nervous and might want to reschedule due to the weather forecast. But she assured me there would be no cancellation fee for the weather. I live an hour and twenty minutes away (I am not considered northern Virginia). This morning my area is already iced down and is expected to have bad weather all day today. So I called this morning and actually spoke with Hannah and told her I did not feel safe driving all the way there and I would like to reschedule. She put me on hold and told me that there would be a 50% cancellation fee...wtf kind of establishment is this?! I'm not a new client... I've been coming for years... wtf kind of establishment is this?! You literally told me two days ago that I wouldn't have had to reschedule and I could keep the appointment and not to worry if there is inclement weather because they will not enforce the cancellation policy due to weather. The sad part is, she didn't deny telling me that when she called to confirm the appointment and just said that I would be charged a 50% cancellation fee... She told me a member of management would call me but it wouldn't be today. I am really disappointment in the way they operate their business. I will never go back here again if they don't correct this nonsense. read more

Today I got my brows and lashes tinted by Evette, and hair done by my 'go-to' stylist, Elena! Brow and eyelash tinting with Evette was a great experience. She is sweet, informative, and I enjoyed my tinting session so much that I dozed off 3-4 times. My eyebrows are darker and it's the small details that make me smile. I think I will tint my brows and lashes more often because I can see the difference. As for my hair, Elena wowed me again. The shape and color is refreshed and every time I walk through the door, my mom compliments my hair!! My mom is a retired hair weave stylist so her compliments are worth so much! Elena knows how to match color and as you can see with her care, my hair goals of long hair is more than reached! Thank you Elena for being reliable, professional, and always keeping my hair posh and healthy!! You keep this tired mommy young! read more

Absolutely the best hair salon in Northern Virginia ! Anyone with curly hair just know you're in good hands. I screwed up my bangs and cut them extremely short and I was able to get an appointment with Jean Paul and not only did he fix them, but he added layers and made my hair look so bouncy and lively again. Amazing service and amazing results, I always leave happy ! read more

Betty Habtemariam has helped my skin beyond measure and is so sweet! I've tried everything for my hyperpigmentation /acne prone skin. As a woman of color hyperpigmentation is my worst enemy and Betty has really done a wonderful job of educating me on what my skin needs to be flawless for years to come. I always used to wear makeup everyday all day, since going to Betty I have been bare face and more confident in my skin receiving many compliments since it has cleared up even my husband and mom noticed a dramatic improvement. The environment is very relaxing and I feel comfortable to talk to her whenever I have a question or concerned with my skin. I've only been going to her for a few months but I can't wait to see what my skin looks like by the end of the year! I highly recommend anyone who has issues with their skin to go see Betty at Dolce Vita you won't be disappointed. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at this salon! The ambiance, staff, and how you look and feel when you walk out is top notch all around. I had a 75 min facial with Yvette who was fantastic, made me feel so comfortable (I'm preggers) and left my skin a million times better than when I walked in. Very knowledgeable and stellar background. I also had highlights and a cut with Elena who was also wonderful. Loving the blonde! I'm a customer for life here! See pic for hair color read more

Tiffany is The Truth when it comes to skincare. I've had a mini treatment with her, and 3 full on spa facials. The last 2 times were for skin dramas and she fixed me. Amen! One drama was after July 4th vaca and my skin was freaking out from all the sun and sand and sweat. I saw her yesterday because I've got winter dry skin and my skin is so dull and dead and dry. She is so knowledgeable. She'll walk you through everything she's doing. By the end of the treatment, she's worked her magic and my skin is always back on track, and I walk out with a glow! She'll also recommend a home routine: face wash, toner, serums, moisturizer, and SPF. I always think this is the most important part because what I do everyday matters. I like that she chooses what I need because I obviously have no clue! read more

I love my custom organic tan from Huda the spray tan artist she's amazing at what she does and I highly recommend going to see her if you're getting a spray tan. She makes the process so easy and comfortable for those who have never had a customized spray tan. I'm so happy a friend made the recommendation and I'll never go back to tanning beds. read more

I'm come here for my waxing. Betty is the best. Brazilian, eyebrows, she is a true master and super good person! Prices are reasonable and they cater to the shy! I also like their products they carry unique lines you don't see in a lot of salons. read more

I cried for the first time in years, happy tears! I am almost 50 years old and went down the path of very dark hair and decided last March to go naturally gray and remove the dark color from ends. I have always spent a lot of money on my hair and was assured that it was attainable but after more than eight months I was left with yellow brassy broken hair. I started my extensive research for an experienced salon and found time and time again that Dolce Vita Salon ranked over and over as the top Salon. I called for a consult with the salon located in Tyson's Galleria. I walked in nervous sat down and Claudia greeted me and asked why I had come in. I told her my journey and I simply wanted my natural gray to match my ends, to get rid of the yellow brassy, orange ends. She showed me some samples and said which color do you like? I looked at her with disbelief, could she get my color that I have struggled for almost a year and thousands of dollars spent with no results in just one visit. She looked and said yes absolutely! She and her assistant Cary (who rocks) did it! I am a beautiful gray matching from root to end in one visit! Today is my first day with my new beautiful silver hair and was stopped by a young woman who grabbed my attention from across the store and shouted I love your hair, it's beautiful. She stated she tried to do what I did so I gave her my story. She thought it was all natural. I told her not to waste anymore time with other salons. Claudia and Cary made it happen and said make sure you tell them I sent you! And the gals at my Lancome counter didn't recognize me when I walked up today, said I looked like a movie star!!! Claudia and Cary you have me forever I would fly from any time zone to get my hair done by you! You have me for life! Thank you for giving my confidence back. Nothing but happy, happy tears! Dolce Vita Salon at Tyson's is a hidden gem! I'm so grateful to have found you!!! read more

On a Sunday I received a lash lift and tint with Rania K at Dolce Vita Salon in McLean. She was friendly and meticulous! Soooo patient and relaxing. She is confident and experienced. The room is beautiful with cozy gray rugs, robes and blankets. The music was so relaxing. I wanted to fall asleep. She was gentle...not overbearing at all. Must see. Note: If you have short lashes you might just want to get the tint. read more

I got a great haircut. I will definitely go back. Looking forward to trying their spa services.

Yay! I'm a fan! A fan of LOUMA! I came here for a Yelp! Elite event and really enjoyed myself. All of the staff members were friendly and I was also able to partake in some hair styling. This is something that usually riddles me with anxiety as my short hair has very tight curls that frizz with the slightest touch. I was hesitant, but so glad that I got to work with Louma! In less than 10 minutes, Louma showed me several different ways that I can style my hair, which is something I truly appreciated as my current style is one I've probably been rocking for about 8 years! She really knew curls and was able to show me a variety of on-trend styles that varied from edgy to classy. If you have curls and are looking for a fresh look, I suggest you schedule an appointment with Louma! read more

I was newly introduced to Dolce Vita while attending a special event. I had the opportunity to learn about all the spa services and enjoy a complimentary facial. Tiffany was an excellent esthetician and offered some great advice on taking care of my skin. I could see treating myself with a full facial treatment at some point. The salon itself is an intimate space but they have it separated quite nicely. Several stylist stations in the front of house followed by an area in the back with rooms for the spa services. Everyone was super friendly and enthusiastic. And the salon seems to have quite a breadth of services beyond hair. In addition to facials/skin treatments, they also offer waxing and botox services to name a few. Quite a nice one-stop shop. The location in McLean is a bit out of the way for me, but I could see myself taking a special trip for that facial. read more

Full service upscale salon and spa in McLean they even have a medical doctor to administer botox and facial fillers. The spa is beautiful and the staff is friendly and helpful. The owner, Jean Paul, truly cares about the business and meeting each of his customer's needs and that attitude carries over into the attitudes of his team. At this point, I have only used the hair styling services. My stylist, Gloria, was friendly and well trained in her craft. She worked a miracle on my hair in a very short time and even gave me some tips to add additional volume. I love that Dolce Vita offers a unique pricing structure for its spa services. They offer patrons an opportunity to be "members" of the spa. Member receive special, significantly discounted pricing on the services that they select to receive. A very intriguing model that I intend to explore. read more

Very dissatisfied with the service! I called and two weeks before to make an appointment for a haircut with Jean Paul, they confirmed the appointment, a couple of days before the haircut they called me back and asked if I would come at the appointed time, I answered yes. One day before the appointment, they called me again and said that they were canceling the appointment without explaining the reason, I asked if it was possible to make an appointment for another time or another day, they answered no, he was very busy and it was no longer possible to make an appointment with him!! This is ridiculous! It's like I'm signing up for a meeting with the president! Terrible service! I highly do not recommend! read more

I got my hair cut at Dolce Vita Salon for the first time two days ago. It is a really beautiful salon. Everyone was so nice and made sure I was comfortable and constantly offered tea or coffee. Lu washed my hair and did a fantastic job. She gave me a hot towel hair treatment. It's really relaxing. Then Elena cut and styled my hair. I've followed Elena from her previous salon. She is truly an exceptional hairdresser/stylist/miracle-worker. I found her after repeatedly being disappointed with my short hair experience. She helped my achieve my pixie goals. This was a tough process for me because I have never had short hair before and had no idea I have such a strange and funky hairline situation. She listens with absolute patients and is able to make my thoughts and ideas real. I've gotten so many compliments from her work and couldn't be happier. I'm so happy that she has found a work home that has matched her in beauty and quality. I highly recommend Elena and the Dolce Vita Salon! read more

I went to Dolce Vita for the first time earlier this month and had a fantastic experience! My stylist was Elena, who was so nice, super professional, and really listened to what I was looking for while also making some great suggestions on what she thought would flatter my hair the most. I could not have been happier with the end result! She did some partial highlights to brighten things up and gave me a much needed trim. She really brought my hair back to life! Meanwhile, I was also being offered beverages throughout my time there (I recommend the latte!), and was checked in on by multiple different people working at the salon to see if I needed anything. Overall, I would very much recommend the salon and Elena as a stylist! read more

This is a great hair salon! They are very prrofessional, knowledgeabke, and friendly. I've been going there for a couple of years for highlights and cuts, and always leave pleased.

I have been going to Yvette for over 10 years for facials, waxing, and tinting. She is one of the best. I followed her from her previous location and I will not go to anyone else. She customizes facials for my skin. The staff is very accommodating and respectful. read more

Go see Elena!!!! I went into the hair appointment hating my hair, and having no idea what to do with it. It's frizzy, thin and so annoying. Elena took control right away and recommended the best solution for me. She only suggested products that I needed and that would make sense for my hair color and texture. My hair now is amazing and so much easier to manage. Couldn't be happier with the results!!! read more

Update! I'm not happy with Dolce Vita Hair Salons. Yikes!! Gouging. They have a "sliding scale" pricing system so, if you look like you can pay more, you will! Lesson Learned; Ouch Burn! 400.00 plus Tip! (color/cut). Mgmt. team member said their website pricing was inaccurate and "An old site" She said; "We've been trying to change that old pricing for some time, so you can't go by that, you need to ask for pricing when you come in the day of your appointment" What the, they've Increased their increase? ... Online website, not accurate? That's convenient. It's a resounding NO for me where Dolce Vita Hair Salons are concerned. Respectfully, Mrs. L. W. (three daughter's U.S. Navy *All Blondes!) read more

I have been going to DV for years, and would never let anyone else touch my hair. JP/Leslie/Madina/Shahnaz have all done my hair whether haircuts, color, or blow dry. They are all wonderful! I've also had the pleasure of getting chemical peels with Betty, and she has done a wonderful job in helping me achieve flawless skin. I've seen immediate results, and will continue seeking her help and advice. Face Reality products have been wonderful for my acne and SkinCeuticals are also great, especially the CE Ferulic. Cyndy does a beautiful job with massages. She is so kind and helped me relieve tension and pain from a traumatic brachial plexus injury and was very knowledgeable and eager to help. The whole staff at DV is attentive, professional, and courteous. I have, and will continue to refer my family, friends, and co-workers to this salon/spa! read more

I went here for a blow out on New Years Eve. I was a bit skeptical because upon walking in I felt out of place. The salon I went to previously has a large plush waiting area, which this one does not. There are 4 chairs seated in front of the hair products for sale. Me and my boyfriend mother had to stand for a while before our stylists were ready. I also had a male stylist shush me away rudley to get to a product I was standing in front of since we could not sit. So I was a bit irritated to start. However, this place deserves 5 stars. Once I met my stylist and shampooer things got better. The woman who washed my hair was wonderful! She was so full of life and did such a great job. Louma did my boyfriends mothers hair. She was very specific about how she wanted her hair to look, and Louma was so wondeful, patient, and did her hair perfectly! She was such a lovely person, and really took her time, and wanted to give the best hairstyle she could. She also cuts my boyfriends hair and always does a phenomenal job. Gloria did my blow out. I told her I wanted big hair, and she gave me big big hair. She gave me the best blow out I have EVER had to top red door salon and colour bar. I LOVED my hair, and thought Gloria was so friendly and talented. I plan on going back for my next color lift. Cannot wait! read more

Dolce Vita Salon & Spa - Sort of weird that the salon sells biofreeze and weight loss products - Day Spas Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Just received a confirmation call from the receptionist for my Spa Week appointment which I made over 2 weeks ago. I made an appointment for a Facial and Massage for Thursday, October 14 but she confirmed it for Wednesday, October 13. It's not a mistake on my part because I already had another appointment in my calendar for Oct. 13. So instead of trying to squeeze me in to rectify their mistake, she offered me a slot for just one of the services I had booked. I don't feel that it's appropriate for me to leave work early to receive only one of the services I booked because it was their mistake. No apologies or other accomodations were offered. I cancelled my appointment as well as my husband's. I am deeply disappointed and will not patronize Dolce because of their incompetence. If they can't even setup an appointment correctly, I'd hate to think of what kind of services they would provide hands on on my face or body treatments. If a business cannot properly train their staff to do tasks such as setup appointments or provide resolutions for issues, they do not deserve my business. read more

I stopped by last week in desperate need of a cut, color and highlights. Leslie was able to get me in later that afternoon and she was fantastic! I'm very fussy about my color and she did a great job getting it just right. I was visiting from out of town but I will definitely go back next time I'm in town. I love having someone to do my hair that I have complete confidence in. read more

Went to Dolce Vita for the first time this past weekend and got the Signature European Facial with Allie at the recommendation of a friend. It was a busy Saturday at the salon, but I was quickly whisked back to the spa area, which is separate from the salon. It's not a day spa type of place, a little small back there, but I can tell you their services are top notch. I haven't yet gotten mani/pedi, but i hear they are excellent. On to the facial part... the treatment room was clean and comfortable, with lots of high-end equipment. The products were very aroma-therapy-ish, which I love. Allie forgave me for coming in with a bit of last night's makeup on, and she spent a good deal of time analyzing my skin and discussing what was needed before beginning the treatment. The facial itself was LUXURIOUS! Even the extractions (which are never pleasant - but hey no pain, no gain!) weren't that bad, while still being thorough. 2 days later, and my face still feels like a 6-month old baby's behind! No breakouts, no irritation. I'd recommend Allie to anyone! As a new client, the very sweet receptionist also gave me a welcome package, complete with discounts on future services. I'll be back for sure! read more

Decided to try this salon after I had a conditioning treatment here while waiting to put tires on my car down the street on a Sunday afternoon! After my treatment, I decided to book an appointment for a keratin treatment. I walked into the salon and realized that the treatment I had booked no longer existed- the Brazilian blow out and was quite nervous about the regular La Brasiliana ie- wait 2-3 days before you can wash your hair. I don't know the spelling of my stylist's name or I would write it! (looked online) but she turned out to be AMAZING and so nice! She has been doing the treatment for 3 years and really does know what she is talking about. She also gave me full service as she put my hair in a shower cap for me when I ran to my car in the rain- ugh perfect timing since you can not get your hair wet with this treatment for 2-3 days. Today- I finally washed my hair and I LOVE it! I am so thrilled and I just walked out in the rain and don't look like a poodle as I usually do. yay! Not that there is anything wrong with poodles- but the hair- yea not so much. The only downside was that the treatment was $100 more than what I was quoted on the phone. In hindsight, it is worth it as I am very happy but that was why I could not give my experience 5 stars. Thank you Dolce Vita :))) read more

Love this Salon and Spa. The staff is so warm and helpful. They do an exceptional job. I go to Leslie for cut and color. She is very professional and responsive to your preferences and requests, and she offers sound suggestions for cut, color and products. I highly recommend her. I go to Betty to brows - she is fantastic. You will leave with a very natural and polished look! My daughter and I will not go to anyone else -- Betty is the best! read more

I had a micro-dermabrasion facial here. The good -very thorough micro-dermabrasion, probably one of the best I've had in the area -good extractions -gave me a brow clean-up gratis -advised me not to have a peel on the same day as my skin was too dry The meh -definitely push products, I really hate that. I want to go back but I don't want to run the gauntlet of all the overpriced creams, serums, etc. Let me spend my money on the service and I will come back often! -disorganized and tiny bit rude at the front desk, could have been a one-off read more
