I felt welcomed as I was immediately acknowledged & greeted. The store was clean, bright & comfortable! Everyone there, even the other stylists, were exceptionally friendly. I appreciated how the salon worked together to help each other keep 'stations' & the overall store tidy. I was particularly impressed how thoughtful the stylists were with each other vs other salons I've been to in the past. I've sadly been to places where it truly seemed each stylist was 'out for themselves', but NOT this salon. It's obvious to me, this particular salon is VERY well managed. I personally have to commend the manager for how consistently the salon is 'run'. It's for that reason I keep returning AND I'm pretty certain it's 100% why the salon always has a steady stream of not only returning 'regulars', but new people as well! My overall experience was wonderful & I will definitely keep recommended friends visit here as well! Thank you! read more

Shiva is always amazing! She's been cutting my hair for years and it always comes out great!

Couple of days ago had hair cut with your extraordinary Shiva. Did a great job. Unfortunately I bought a mouse at that time and needed to return it. I returned yesterday with receipt and nobody in that salon had the courtesy to help. They said they did not know how to do it. How in the world you have employees that can't do a return? Today I went back again and Shiva was there to help me. Thanks Shiva! I'll never buy an item again from Hair Cuttery. Hopefully you advice your employees to learn: courtesy and how to do a return! read more

Place was very clean and staff was very friendly. Ruby is a fantastic stylist who made sure she was giving me what I wanted and was not only incredibly skilled but also very sweet and efficient. Highly recommend this place, would definitely go back read more

I had been really excited to get my first hair cut since pre-Covid. I figured it would be my Christmas gift to myself. I had wanted to go to the PA location I am familiar with, but scheduling got in the way. I decided to stop halfway and go to this location. It is the closest to my hotel. Well, my poor GPS got seriously confused trying to find the shopping center. I had to use Google maps which took me right to it. I got to the salon in time for my appointment but my stylist wasn't ready. When she did come and get me, she was very cute and wouldn't let me finish explaining what I wanted. I told her I wanted a long shag with curtain bangs. All she heard was long. She took me to the sinks to wash my hair, the whole time insulting my hair, "too dry, too dark, etc". It was very off putting. After she washed my hair, she put two kinds of product in my hair. I told her I didn't like product to please go easy. She just smiled. She didn't do much cutting, but did manage to cut herself. She blamed my long hair. Once she was finished she went to deal with another person who apparently was either a coworker or family member. Seriously. It was like 10 min before she came back to dry my hair...again complaining because I wanted it blown dry. She wouldn't use clips and asked me to hold sections of my hair for her. On top of that, she burned my hair by putting the hair dryer on my hair, not above it, and smoke was just flying off my hair. Then, two more gloops of product even after I asked her to stop. She tried to do hair spray on top of it all but I was firm on stopping her. The end effect was I walked out of the salon looking like I had a blow out 4 days prior with no shape. My hair was so greasy and stringy from the product used It's a shame because usually I enjoy going to HC. I just will NEVER go back here. read more

Hair Cuttery - My 'hair.cut' - Hair Stylists Near Me - Oakton, Virginia

Shiva always does a great job with my cut and color. She's always friendly and easy to schedule.

Had a fast and nice visit during my lunch break for a hair trim. From going into the door and out to my car took total about 40min? The usual sit and explain my wants, shampoo and conditioner, and the trim. She did exactly what I asked. It was shorter than I expected but I did have a lot of split ends/dead hair that she cut off so I'm actually glad she did- after the haircut I definitely felt the weight of my head much lighter haha and have gotten so many compliments on my hair! Thank you! Will return for trims and maybe a color soon! :) read more

Shiva has done a great job working with my hair to get it just the way I need a men's haircut. She has patiently worked with me to get the front, back and sides all looking good. Get her card for her hours and phone number to text her directly for an appointment. read more

Ruby is the best!! Great color and cut! Didn't try to sell me shampoo or other products. Definitely recommend Ruby! Atmosphere is calm and quiet for a salon. read more

Hair Cuttery - Great color and cut - Hair Stylists Near Me - Oakton, Virginia

This place is my greatest find in the last 10 years! My one year anniversary with Hair Cuttery was today so I wanted to celebrate and post my review. I'm a nut job about my hair. It is thick and wavy but I wear it super straight and if it is cut just the tiniest bit incorrectly, it is a disaster for me as I am a runner that does not do ponytails! Also, I'm a fanatic about my highlights but truly had just lost my desire to keep paying the escalating cost of my hair at other overpriced trendy salons. So, when I started to look for what literally would be my new home, my research was strategic and relentless - do you think I'm kidding! Anyway, I won't bore you with details but the problem was many of the somewhat more affordable, low key salons have very transient and not so experienced staff. They come right out of beauty school, then job hop. There was no way that would ever work for me. SO - then I found Hair Cuttery in Oakton who has a very long time, experienced staff that has been there for years. I go to my much beloved Senior Designer III Shiva who is phenomenal! My hair color is as great as Jennifer Anniston's hair at its' best. Shiva is fantastic with blonde on any hair color. My cut is always absolutely perfect not once has this self described hair nut ever been unhappy since going to Shiva and the Hair Cuttery in Oakton. And if Shiva wasn't available I would go to any of the other very experienced Hair Stylists/Designers at this salon. I notice a lot of cool looking guys who are wise to this salon, going in for those fades etc. These Stylists/Designers in Oakton are mature and not running around in their platforms but let me tell you...bring a picture..they can do anything and do. I would like to see more young women wise-up to this salon as I don't like the guys proving that they are smarter than us. When you go you will see it is a lovely, low key place where you might see very senior citizens seated next to someone getting an awesome fade. It is a quiet, reasonably priced place, staffed with seasoned professionals. They have fantastic products and this is the only time I have ever requested suggestions on what to use, because they are so experienced and I think...they are very cool because of it! So, get over your need for cool looking, over priced salons and your ageism, if any, and come here to get the greatest highlights and haircut/design with Shiva or any of the truly lovely people at this well kept secret salon. Thank you so very much Shiva...Jennifer Anniston only wishes her hair looked as good as mine. And thank you Hair Cuttery in Oakton! read more

A decent haircut for exceptional value. I got a men's haircut with shampoo for $23. They took me on time for my appointment, and I was out in 15 minutes. This is a pretty no frills experience, and I'd say the stylist erred on the side of ruthless efficiency over precision and attention to detail. That said, the haircut still looked pretty good, and I'm happy. I might choose a higher-end salon for a special occasion, but I'd come back here for a regular trim in a heartbeat. They take credit, but my cash tip was much appreciated. read more

Hair Cuttery - Hair Stylists Near Me - Oakton, Virginia

See all

My boyfriend and I came here for hair cuts/trim tonight. I have never gone to a hair Cuttery but my boyfriend frequently gets his hair cuts at whichever location is closest to us. He was seen immediately and I was seen shortly after. Our stylists did good jobs and gave us what we asked for. His stylist definitely seemed a bit more personable than mine. However, this isn't really a complaint for me because I'm pretty quiet and don't talk much anyway. Overall, no complaints from either of us and I'd be fine getting routine cuts/trims here as needed. read more

Deena has been cutting my hair for many years. She does an excellent job, in fact, I haven't been to anyone else to cut my hair. I highly recommend Deena. read more

Book an appointment with Mary, bring good reference photos and you will get the exact haircut you want, every time. She is also lovely and warm and will not push you to buy products you don't want. read more

It would be selfish to keep this to myself so I decided to share :) overall all the ladies at the salon are super sweet/talented and very diligent. BUT SHIVA is my go to girl for all hair needs and seriously she knows her colors and styles that suit your face shape. Go get booked in advance as she gets booked up quickly and lucky me I get to go during non peak hours. They also do REDKEN EQ GLOSS SHADES for all the ladies that have a hard time looking for Redken EQ, just call in advance to ensure they have the shade in stock. read more

Deena is fantastic. She did exactly what I asked, styled my hair beautifully and was prompt and friendly.

Deena is the best colorist the salon has. She makes me look so natural and younger with the prefect mix and a gloss for shine. I refer her regularly to my friends and she does not disappoint. read more

Shiva is wonderful. Just got a hair cut and color today and can't get over how great my hair feels and looks. Shiva gave me a medium length layered haircut which I absolutely love. Edit (03/17): Took my 18 month old for a hair cut to Shiva today. Let me tell you, this is something my husband and I absolutely dread since he hates anyone touching his head. As expected, he started screaming his lungs out during his haircut today. Shiva was such a professional, she kept at it and gave him an adorable haircut. I don't know how she did it under the pressure of a screaming wailing kid but she did. Kodos to you! Definitely coming back here if Shiva can handle a screaming child again! read more

Deena has been cutting me and my daughter's hair for years. She always does a fine job and we are happy to be back.

The haircut was okay, after SEVERAL times of me reiterating what I wanted, because the stylist decided that I didn't pick a good enough haircut and refused to do what I politely asked for without pouting about it and telling me I would look bad if she did what I was asking for. Even when she did eventually listen to me about the top of my hair, she cut the back too short. I had a picture I showed her and everything, and was visibly judgmental when I showed it to her, immediately talked about how she was surprised I was getting a "boy haircut". She originally put my name in as Emil, which I know from an automated text I received (my name is Emily) and was obviously upset and confused when she asked again and realized I was a woman. read more

This place was recommended by a friend and said please choose Zari. Very nice hair cut I got from Zari . She was friendly apologized for being five min late . We chatted while she cut my hair . Showed her a picture of how I wanted my hair to look she did it exactly like that . Booked my next appointment for July . read more

Mary always does an exceptional job! I have been to many salons over the years but the Hair Cutery in Oakton, VA is my go to place because Mary is the best! My hair always looks great! I trust her judgement and she never lets me down. I always look forward to my next appointment with her!!! read more

I called this location today to make an appt with the stylist who normally cuts my hair. They said, "She's not feeling well. Try back in a couple of weeks." I said that I need a haircut sooner than that so could I just make an appointment with someone else? They said no. "The appointment system is down. Walk-ins only." I said ok. I need a cut, wash, dry and flat iron. It takes about an hour. I'll be in later today. I arrange childcare and go there. The woman at the desk tells me, "We can't do a flat iron due to the virus." What??? She said, "No blow dry either because it will blow the virus around the salon." What???? I was wearing a mask as were the stylists. I don't have Covid19 in my hair. She said, "I meant to tell them to tell you on the phone." The irony... I could tell by her accent and voice that SHE was the one I spoke to on the phone. So unprofessional! I'll be finding a new salon. I'll miss Shiva. She was great. read more

I love Deena. Someone recommended her to me as a colorist and she has been great! I totally understand how she has many repeat customers. I have been seeing her for almost two years and my hair always looks natural and healthy. I have recommended her to other and they are now her regulars. Hair Cuttery is lucky to have kept such a talented sought after ex read more

It all depends on who you see here. First time we had a terrible experience about a year ago and only came back because of location convenience and tried a different stylist for a hair cut -Lucy. Really liked her and been coming back ever since. Quick, friendly, quality cut and decent price. read more

Hair Cuttery - Hair Stylists Near Me - Oakton, Virginia

Who let these women cut hair? Nutso people. First of all I got charged EXTRA why? Because I have a lot of hair. Was it 10 feet long? No. It was 2 inches past my shoulders. How much extra? 10 dollars extra. "for the shampoo and conditioner" and I hate that they cut your hair wet but then charge you to blowdry it. Why not cut my hair dry then? Oh because you can't cut hair. I asked for a trim and she went nuts and tried giving me bangs and layers and all this crap I didn't ask for. All of them are crazy. One made my mom cry because she told my mom she didn't have enough hair to bother with getting a nice cut. I nearly massacred their entire staff for that alone. DO. NOT. GO. HERE. read more

My hair was 20 inches long and I wanted a layer. Sadly the lady took off 10 inches. I will NEVER go back to this place.

I'm so happy that I changed my hair stylist. Shiva is amazing. I used to go far away and she is right by my house. She is very kind, gentle, great hands!! I highly recommend her. I got my hair color, Treatment and blow dry. Love it!! It looks Awesome can't wait to come back! read more

Well it was first time in my life when i asked to trim me just a little bit and she did! Lucy has also done a great job with my highlights. I actually don`t understand where all those bad reviews are coming from. I will definitely come back as soon as i need it. Thank you! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION - I have gone into this location about once a year for the last 5+. Each time I am reminded why I don't go there. They rush, don't pay attention and give a lot of attitude when you express any opinion. Today the same lady who always screws over the rest by trying to take every customer was literally looking at the door while cutting and then rushed to finish as fast as possible. She always has attitude and makes excuses. I have never had a good experience at this location. read more

Shiva is the best. She does wonderful color, cut and blow-out. She is also the most kind and decent person I know. She is very accommodating to my busy schedule. I'm so lucky to have Shiva in my life. She is the only person who can tame my thick, frizzy and curly hair into a style where I get many compliments. read more

Do not go in here and let any random person cut your hair. I went with my kids for back-to-school cuts. Shiva did a fantastic job on my daughter's hair and treated her like gold. Ann did my hair and was distracted and rushed. All I wanted was a trim of my long hair and she butchered it. It's shorter than I wanted, 1-1/2 inches longer on one side than the other, and honestly looks like a hack job a 12-year-old could have done. I am a very low maintenance person when it comes to hair, but this haircut is so bad that it's embarrassing to be seen in public with it. I had to pay someone to fix it for me. Long story short....if you can get Shiva it's a great experience, but you should run like the wind from Ann. I won't go to Hair Cuttery anymore for anything but haircuts for my boys. read more

Hair Cuttery - Ann was rushed, distracted, and I'll let the picture speak for itself on the quality of job she did. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Oakton, Virginia

Marcy is the BEST. I have been doing home trims and box dyes for nearly 20 years, but I really wanted some fun colors for the first time in my life, and I knew I needed a professional for that. Marcy happened to be who was available when I walked in the door, and she took me with no wait. We worked together for her to give me the exact colors I wanted, and she was friendly and gentle the whole time. After not having been to a hair stylist in years, I was nervous, but she made me feel at ease and I am thrilled with the gorgeous result. I now have fun colors in my hair but they are subtle and I couldn't be happier. read more

Do NOT recommend it. I went in for a shampoo and blow-dry. The job was decent, nothing to write home about. But she told me after shampooing my hair that it would be extra for long hair. I have slightly longer than shoulder length hair. And I know it involves work so that's fine. But the listed price was $18 for shampoo and blow-dry, and she charged me $37. I gave a $3 tip so as not to be rude. But NOT going back...ever. read more

I just lost my hairdresser of 18 years and was desperate for a cut before an event! I had been here before for blow outs and everyone was so nice and friendly that I thought I would take a chance. Shiva was mentioned in several fabulous styles on the website so I requested her. She listened intently and not only gave me exactly what I wanted but gave me bounce and a fabulous blowout! I will definitely be back! There was a slight glitch with the online reservation system so you must go to the man HC site to book! read more

My Woohoo is for Deena. Deena is hands down the best stylist in the place and I've been seeing her for years - everytime I leave an appointment my hair looks FABU! I like her so much, I trust her with my entire family's hair including my husband, teenage son, and college age daughter with long flowing curly locks. Deena's customer service rivals the Ritz Carlton in professionalism. She truly cares about her customers and ensures great hair styling and coloring service every single time. Even yesterday, I had a 911 hair emergency and Deena handled my stress level with grace and diplomacy. Daniel Ratner (Hair Cuttery CEO, Founder and Stylist) - get yourself to Oakton Hair Cuttery and give Deena a big ole hug and employee of the year for epitomizing Hair Cuttery at its best! read more

DESTROYED my hair. A four year old with a pair of scissors could have done a better job. I sat in a "master stylists" chair who has been cutting hair for TWENTY FOUR YEARS, so I assumed things would be somewhat o.k. (as I do not expect much from Hair Cuttery after a hand full of less than satisfying hair cuts in years past). Needed my hair cut for a job interview, I even showed the woman a picture, simple sytle, 3 layers at the bottom for movement. Somehow LONG layers equals bangs in this womans mind. BANGS. actually, that is not the correct word for them because it is just a super short chunk of hair that hangs in my face, no layers, no angling. This post is losing its focus because I'm so livid thinking about how f**ked up this woman left my hair. I would have been better off not getting my hair cut for my interview as opposed to looking like a drunk person FELL into my hair with open scissors. BEST PART??? I had to finish her job once I got home and noticed a TWO inch piece hanging longer than the rest. Guess she missed it while "checking the layers to see if they were even". No joke, it looked like she did not finish the hair cut as the piece was MUCH longer than the rest of my hair. Should probably also mention that the "TRIM" I asked for somehow translated in her mind to 6 inches coming off. My hair was down to my hips.... she. DESTROYED. it. (along with my confidence until this mutated front section grows out past my ears to tuck it back) Next time I will use my lawn mower at home, and get better, nicer results. NEVER EVER EVER going back. To sum it up, "you get what you pay for", and I was pissed at myself that I paid $18 to receive services that look equivalent to a haircut from a lawn mower, therefore I bi*ched at the right people and received a refund. I should go back and ask her for my $5 tip back as well. read more

I would NOT recommend this place to ANYONE! The lady who did my son's hair couldn't do a simple haircut .During the hair cut I had to actually steep in and stop her from cutting his hair because it was looking so bad. She chopped off so much hair! and the hair lines were so uneven. She tried to fix the hair lines but she somehow managed to make it worse. After I told her not to do anything else to my son's hair and that I'll go somewhere else to correct the problem she tells me "As long as he doesn't look down you won't notice the hair line in the back that much". Are you kidding me!! Didn't even apologize. NO ONE who worked there tried to step in and HELP out the situation.. When I came home I told my family and friends I will NEVER return there again. The only reason I tried this place is cause they were new and close to the house.. read more

Shiva did a really nice job taking care of my daughter and giving her a really nice haircut. I will be going back there again!

I have been going to Deena for many years and love her and how she cuts my short hair. She's the best. There is a reason why she has so many people follow her. She's pleasant and very personable. She will listen and pay attention to what you want. I have recommended others to her too. read more
