I came here for a haircut before and a digital perm recently. I've been extremely happy with the service and the results every time! Young does a great job of listening to what you want in your hairstyle and also gives great tips if you have any concerns or questions - I told her that my hair gets flat on top easily and she took the time to show me how to properly dry and style my hair after I shower so that I have more volume. She and Heidi also did a great job on my digital perm. It was the best curly/wavy perm I've gotten in Virginia - my hair wasn't nearly as frizzy or overly curly as it has come out from some other places. I really love the waves I have now, and they also showed me how to dry the waves properly to make them more/less curly. Heidi did my root volume perm which is new to this salon, where she put little curlers just at the roots of my hair to raise them up. I'm extremely happy with that as well! Things can get super busy on weekends, but other than that I have no complaints. This is now my new go-to spot! read more

I want to thank the staff at Hair mode. I recently had the magic straight perm done at their salon. I am pleased with my results and many people have complimented my hair. I had previously had a magic straight perm done in Korea a couple years ago. I hadn't had it done again because I wanted to find a good salon in the nova area. I wanted to find a salon that would be careful and be able to work with my hair texture. curly/ wavy, prone to frizz and previously color treated. Hair mode answered my questions before I confirmed my appointment and everyone was kind and attentive during the long process that is getting hair straightened. They also offered advice to help my hair be healthier. I defintely will be returning when it comes time to retouch my hair. read more

Appreciated the cut and color and styling. I did have to sit for 5 hours throughout the whole process, but Ms. Young did a great job with my hair. She recommended several products to try for damaged hair care. The shop was friendly and staff was friendly. Parking is limited, but usually is not an issue since appointments seem to be spread out reasonably. There is also an empty parking lot across the street. I think the products the salon uses are also of good quality. read more

Loved this place. Tried a few other salons in the area but hadn't settled on one spot or stylist yet. Decided to try here because of the great ratings. Loved the atmosphere inside - homey and hip/stylish. Young Kim, the owner, cut and styled my hair. She was wonderful - helped me figure out what I wanted and gave one of the best cuts I've ever had... not to mention it only took 45 min instead of the standard 1+ hours people usually take on my hair. Young Kim also just seemed like a great person who I'd want to visit every few months when I get a cut, and I'd want to support her business. read more

I can't believe I waited this long to write about this place. I guess maybe I wanted to keep it to myself, but it's so much better to share!! I've been coming here regularly for the past 2 years. Eun Young is very sweet, talented, friendly and professional. Yes, I will drive from Sterling to Annandale to get my hair done. It's completely worth it! A year ago, after going to her a few times I finally got the courage to ask for something different. She recommended bangs. I hadn't had bangs since elementary school so I was skeptical that it would look good on me. She was right! I loved my cut and it is now my staple. Not only does she cut hair well, she does it effortlessly. When I watch her work I marvel at her speed and she just oozes confidence, she knows what she's doing! I also get my hair highlighted here. Again, she's very professional. She keeps a log of the color(s) you use so that touch ups are a breeze. I always get compliments on my hair and it's thanks to her. I get a great cut, full highlights and blow dry for $150. That is completely reasonable in my opinion. She and her team do a great job and I highly recommend them! p.s. there is a little parking lot in the back of the building. Pretty convenient! Also she does men's hair too. Plenty of men frequent this place and go out with great cuts, be they classic styles or funky ones. read more

I went here for a digital perm, and for one reason or another, it turned out to be a disaster. My hair looked fried, messy, and I hated it. I was so upset, I actually left a very negative review on Yelp. But what changed my mind about this place was what happened *after* my hair disaster. Young, who I think is the owner and the head stylist, actually gave me the option of getting a 50% refund, or getting my hair straightened back to the way it was, for no extra charge. She gave me this option even though there was no way for me to prove whether my messy hair was due to the salon's error, or due to my own hair's previously delicate condition. Anyway, I chose the second option- to get my hair straightened back to the way it was. Since my hair was already damaged from the digital perm chemicals, Young used 3 different types of perm solutions on different parts of my hair, to keep from damaging it further. And then, she topped it off with a Brazilian keratin treatment, to restore its health. I know for a fact that this treatment costs several hundred dollars. She gave it to me for free. My hair still isn't back to exactly the condition that it was in before my first perm, but I came out of this experience with a new haircut, and an overall positive feeling. Young basically gave me hours of effort, and hundreds of dollars worth of products, all at her own expense, just to make sure I was satisfied with the end result. Another salon would have just said "too bad" and sent me home. Even though a lot of my fried hair had to be cut off, I love my new (shorter) hairdo, and so do others. I highly recommend this salon not only for their hair expertise, but also for their positive attitude and their integrity. read more

I usually get my hair cut pretty short and at regular old barber shops but I decided to start investing a little more in my grooming. I've been to hair salons (as opposed to barber shops) for hair cuts before and I've always been more pleased with the results, especially from the Korean hair salons (I'm of Korean descent)... but the haircuts are usually $25+. I called late Sat morning to see if they had availability in the afternoon and fortunately, they did. My wife was also due for a haircut, so we all went together. It's a small salon with just 2 people cutting hair (at least when I was there). I was very pleased with my haircut. Koreans know how to cut Korean hair the best. All of the Korean salons I've been to use thinning shears to take out some of the volume from the hair. I've never done a barber shop that's done that though. My hair style was not too conservative but not trendy either which was good. The best part of the appointment was the way they styled my hair with wax afterwards. I guess I've never really figured out the best way to use gel or wax. Most barber shops just run some gel/wax through the hair, play with the hair for 5 seconds and you're done. The lady at Hair Mode (a different person from the one who cut my hair) spent at least a minute working the wax through my hair. Unfortunately, I was not able to replicate what she did at home the next day. :( Maybe i'll ask her for a lesson on my next visit. :) In the end, I think the extra $10-15 I paid for a haircut here compared to a barber shop is worth it. I'm getting old so whatever I can do to make myself look better is money well spent. :) read more

If you want to go here just walk in. Don't bother making an appointment. I usually get my hair cut at Shanel. After reading all the positive reviews I decided to give this place a try and made the appointment with Kim. I arrived on time for my appointment and Kim was finishing up another client. There was another client waiting and I didn't know who that person was waiting for. After 15 min she was done with her client I thought it would be my turn. But no, she took the other person that was before me WITHOUT saying a word to me. I approached her and said that my appointment was for 3pm. She simple said "sorry saturday we are very busy". WtH?! I just walked out and went back to Shanel. read more

I have done everything here - from hair cuts to perms to full color dye - and it's always perfect! They are very meticulous and focus all their attention in making your hair perfect. Customer service is great too. Speaks both Korean and English very well.i read more

I would have given 2.5 stars if yelp had an option. I have very course wavy hair for an Asian chick and really wanted a Magic Perm. I hadn't been there before but thought I'd give it a go based on the reviews here. Called and was able to get in very quickly. I got my hair washed and two assistants started to dry my hair. It's not like I have an overly sensitive scalp but holy crap, they were really aggressive. I had a brief consultation with the owner and then all three prepped my hair for the perm. I'm not sure what kind of chemicals they use but it wasn't as harsh smelling or gross as I had in the past and somehow the processing time was faster. The perm turned out GREAT! My hair was straight and smooth. Best of all, it wasn't too flat on the top or kinked. If I had just gotten to this point, I would've given them 4 stars. But then it was time for the haircut. I spoke with the owner about wanting something a little different than my long layers when I first got there. As she grabbed her scissors after the perms, the owner said she didn't really have any ideas. Since it was getting close to closing time, I told her I'd try something new next time and to cut my hair the same way, long chunky layers. Here's the fail. I should have spotted it when I was at the salon but because it was getting late, I was tired, they wanted to go home, I took a quick look, said thanks, paid and walked out. I washed and styled my hair 24 hours later like recommended and that's when I noticed the haircut. One side of my hair was a lot longer than the other side. Because its pretty long to start with, 1/2 falls on the front of my shoulders, and the other 1/2 falls on my back. I don't really look at the back of it very often but because it was a new cut, I took out the mirror. With all of my hair pulled to my back, it was REALLY obvious that my hair was two different lengths on each side. WTF? Isn't the hairdresser supposed to be able to notice that since she can see the back of my head when she cuts my hair? 2.5 stars because the Magic Perm was great. Those are really hard to get right. But then I had to go and spend another $40 somewhere else to get it cut again. read more

I don't know what's taken me so long to leave a review. I've been a customer for about two years for various styles and fully trust the team. They care about your look and how you feel about the results. They're very skilled and are trained on the most up to date techniques. Best of all, the team is super warm and friendly. I recently had a balayage done, photos are attached. I was nervous since I haven't colored my hair in many moons but it came out very natural and I've gotten tons of compliments. I also had a digital perm done here and it lasted 18 months on my virgin hair and could have gone longer had I not cut it. I'll try to dig up those photos. I highly recommend Hair Mode, this will be my go-to for a long time to come! read more

After having survived snowmaggedon, I was desperately dying to get out of my apartment for anything. Since I was due for a haircut, I decided to give Hair Mode, which was recommended by a friend of mine whose hairstyle I did like. The owner Kim Young-Eun is super nice and friendly. She actually did a great job layering my hair and giving it some volume. She also gave me a few suggestions on my bangs, which I always appreciate. For $40, I thought she did a fabulous job and I was in and out in less than 40 minutes. Her assistant on the other hand was a disaster. During my shampoo and blow dry (they dry your hair b4 cutting), I felt like I was getting clawed by an angry cat. Her nails kept poking at my neck too. It was quite unpleasant. All in all, I'd say, skip the shampooing and go to Young-Eun for a hair cut. 703-256-8383 7306 Maple Pl., Annandale, VA 22003 read more

I am in LOVE with my hair!! Young has been doing my hair for more than 10 years now. She always does the Japanese Straight perm and without any problems or damages. She even fixed the damages other salons did to my hair on those rare occasions when I strayed (and I've learned my lesson now..) Well, recently I got the "Silk magic with Brazilian" for the second time (first one 6 months ago) and I am absolutely in LOVE with the results! My natural hair looks like a "broom" as my sister used to call it. It's frizzy and messy like a combed out "ahjumma perm". Now, it looks like something you see on a shampoo commercial! I can still style it or curl it if I want, but I can also leave the house with my hair still dripping wet and my hair looks like I just flat ironed it even when it's only air-dried!! Best part of it all is my hair is NOT damaged at all!!!! It's never been healthier or shinier ever before. FYI, the "Silk straight with Brazilian" is combining the Japanese straight perm with the Brazilian at the same time. For me, since I get the straight perm every six months she only straightens the roots. Then, she does the silk treatment which is sprayed on for 10 minutes, and then finally the Brazilian treatment on the entire length. I get to wash my hair after 2 days and then, voila! The most gorgeous hair ever! It took about 4 hours in total at the salon. Time well spent! Thank you, Young and your team, once again, for your fabulous work!! read more

Overall I was pretty disappointed with my haircut, but in general I've found it's difficult to find people who can cut men's hair for longer styles. Specific to Young I found she was too confident for her skill level. What I mean by this is she just made assumptions about how my hair should be cut without asking for feedback. I especially dislike how she didn't show me the back although she did ask me at the end if the haircut overall was okay. It wasn't a terrible haircut but it wasn't good either. I also disliked how she treated her employees. There was one lady who brought the wrong item and Young mocked her. read more

I've been going to Hair Mode since it's opening. In response to COVID, Young had her staff complete safety training and has put into place many safe guards to protect her customers. The team does such a great job with hair but they are very professional and kind. I was very impressed with the safety practices they put into place. read more

I've been going here for many years. This place is good and I'm always happy with the turn out however OVER CHARGES. I do need to find a different hair salon but can't seem to find one. read more

Young unnie has been doing my hair for the past 20+ years. She's always accommodating and tries to provide an appointment that fits my schedule but will be frank if she's booked up, as who likes to wait. In the very beginning it did take some time to explain the cut/style I wanted but a few visits in, I'm set until she refuses to do my hair. She'll provide me suggestions if I ask or let me know how my hair will be with a certain style. If I know exactly what I want then she'll do so with no hesitations; the benefit of a long term relationship. If you have a certain cut, color, etc I would recommend taking in a picture. read more

I've been to so many so called great barber shops in within a 10 mile radius, only to be disappointed over and over again. So, honestly I didn't go in with much of an expectation, I was actually kinda scared to be honest. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in and was offered service as soon as one of the stylists was done, I didn't rush any of them so I made an appointment for the next day and left. So, I'm back and the stylist asks what I'm looking for so I show her pictures of my perfect cut. I've shown it to all of the other stylist before her, but they just glanced at it and said yeah I got it, when the end results clearly proved otherwise. Well, this one actually took the time to examine all the pictures and once she became familiar with it she started to cut away. Right away I could tell she had skills and knew what I wanted, making sure all the lines were even and nothing stuck out where it wasn't supposed to. The end result was amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better cut. Look, I know Asian hair is different from others, but to be honest we all have different hair types and I don't believe one type is easier to cut than the other. I think it all boils down to experience and this exceptional stylist has it. The cut in total was thirty bucks, which included the shampooing after the cut was done, yeah. I've been to barber shops that charged upwards to 50 bucks for just the cut. I'm definitely making this place my go to salon. read more

I have enjoyed getting my haircut (for Korean male) here for the past few months. Everyone is friendly and I'm satisfied with my cut every time. The only thing is that Korean hairstylists do charge a lot in the DMV area. That's just part of the cost for have a stylist who knows what they're doing with Korean hair. read more

I love this place. Been going there for about a year and a half and I love it, every time! Make sure you make an appointment because they are usually busy, and because there are only two hair stylists. I wear my hair short and go back for hair cuts often/ I also used chemical treatments for my hair.: I used both the Japanese and Brazilian perm. I just love Young's work; she is really creative. And her helpers are really top notch too! I Will continue to go back and to highly recommend! read more

My usual hair stylist was on vacation, so I looked to Yelp to find a hair stylist. I'm a Asian guy with thick pointy hair. I'm not super fussy, but it is difficult to find a barber or stylist that is able to cut my hair without it looking like an ugly tricorne hat. Jenny was extremely talented and experienced, cutting my hair with precision. They are a bit more costly than your alteration-named corporate haircut chains, but it's totally worth it. Completely satisfied. read more

This is the salon I like best. I have thick hair and Young gave me a good haircut. And the color is so nice, too. Young definitely knows how to have the best result. I'm so glad and will come back to try the digital perm when my hair grow long. read more

My friend warned me about this place, I should've listened. First time here came out with a hole in the back of my head. The cutter never even mentioned it and I paid full price($30)+tip. The entire process took longer than other places too. Same friend said he's never gone back since years ago. I Will not be going back either. read more

i got my haircut here about a few months ago and went ago a week ago and got a digital perm with my sister but i dont know how i feel about my perm.. i know they're good at cutting hair but not so sure about other things. i told my friend about this place and she went with her sister and they dyed their hairs and it didnt look that great. they missed a spot on my friend and when her little sister got the ombre i heard it was too light.. so idk.. when i tie my hair up something about it is uneven and my sister said it was weird too.. the right side is a long longer than the left side.. :( so i think im gonna wait and if its still weird i might try and go tmrw but it's so far away so idk.. read more

I've been going here to get my hair cut for years and I have never been disappointed. It's been over a year since my last cut and I recently decided to cut my hair super short. I had some sample pictures, showed it to the owner and she was able to combine the styles and texture from several pictures into one. I'm extremely pleased and could not be happier! read more

I'm a fan of Hair Mode for haircuts. I've been going there for years now but recently switched to a new hair salon (only because of price). Hair Mode is fair with its price but I just found a better deal :) She remembers me and cuts my hair just how I like it without requiring detailed explanations. She definitely knows how to make people feel special! I typically get haircuts but I tried out the digital perm for a change. It didn't come out quite right. I had to go back and redo it but then it damaged my hair and I had to pay more which I thought was unfair. I would recommend her for haircuts! :) read more

I could not be more happy with my hair cut, color and style. I have naturally curly hair, and straighten it daily. I asked for a pixie bob and she did absolutely amazing! There wasn't any issue with her and her staff's professionalism and welcoming nature. I might also add the last time I've had my hair professionally done was over 7 years ago, the reason being is because I have not had good luck with hair stylist. But I have found mine at last!!! I recommend this place to anyone! They are all great! read more

This salon is owned by Koreans. They are very nice and always cut my hair right! I live in Richmond but I would drive two hours there just to get a haircut. It is so worth it! Don't hesitate to try it out, they will never let you down lols read more

I got my hair belyaged here. I was a bit afraid to get my hair bleached as I have very weak hair but I am so glad that I got it done. :) my hair looks great! I was in the shop for five hours but it was fun! The hair designers were super nice and professional. When the first wash was done, I was in a bit of shock at how light my hair had gotten but the toning process was all it took to give that beautiful ashy color that I had never thought I would be able to get. I give high points for her when she saw that I wasn't completely sold on the fist phase of the bleaching as she took the extra steps to make sure the color came out right. My hair also looks healthy and it's all intact lol read more

New to the area and I was looking for a hair cut. I was able to book a same day cut with Jessica. She was very sweet and thorough. I have long hair, and she did a precut, wash, cut, blow dry, and then a final cut to make sure nothing was missed. I don't get my hair cut often because I'm super picky, but would definitely go back when I'm due for my next cut. The salon itself is dated but seems to have many regulars that have been loyal customers for years. read more

I have the non-typical Asian hair - it's thick, course, kinked, and just a nightmare to manage, so I always try to find the best place for magic straight perms. My close friend recommended this place, and I am so glad that she did. Yes, it's a Korean salon, but I've seen non-Koreans come and leave pretty pleased with their results. I normally schedule my appointments on a weekday, since it's less busy, leaving them more relaxed and less pressured to rush. For my hair, which is about almost mid-back length, the entire process took about 4 hours, with both the main stylist, and the won jang neem (partially) working on my hair. I'm not an expert, but I think they use pretty decent salon products. The magic straight chemicals is definitely pretty good, and it smells like the Korean yogurt drink - awesome! I would say they might want to upgrade some of their hair dryers and flat irons, but I think it suffices and gets the job done. Throughout the entire process, the won jang neem/owner is always checking to make sure the other stylists are doing a good job, and she comes periodically to do random strand checks herself, which makes me feel more at ease, and confident about the quality of the work. After the entire process is done, even if you choose not to get a hair cut, the won jang neem inspects your hair, and sometimes even offer a complimentary "dusting" trim of your hair, which is what she did for me. I normally go to her for hair cuts/trims as well. She asks questions, and really listens. Having a visual aid helps as well - and I've always had my haircuts come out exactly like the picture, or how I described. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality and prices of Hair Mode. As long as you communicate with her, express your concerns going in, and even during the service, I think you'll have a good visit. read more

I took the advice of fellow Yelpers! and got results. I was a bit nervous at first, what with being a small white dude in a totally korean women's salon. But that all changed as soon as I seated myself in the chair. The place is a bit small when you first walk in, but don't let that fool you. It has some of the kindest ladies ever. It's always nerve-wracking trying to find a good stylist and I was a bit nervous at first, what with being a small white dude in a totally Korean women's salon. But that all changed as soon as I seated myself in the chair. Somehow, I felt totally comfortable. I never want my hair washed before a cut and they didn't argue with me. I had to be a bit talkative at one point because the lady that was cutting my hair had great focus in what she was doing, seemed like I would throw off her concentration if I said much! She took great pains to cut my hair just how I wanted it, and I really appreciate that. Don't mind being silent for a quality cut at all. Next time I'll try and warm up to her a bit more, I'm sure she'll remember me. I Got a choppy men's cut for $20, threw in a good tip because it looked so good. Walked out of there in disbelief that I actually got a decent haircut for once. I'll be coming back for sure. read more

I went to hair mode based on good review but it was huge mistake , the owner of this place kim is agressive and she literally chopped of all my hair , i had nice long all same lenght hair , and she overcharged me . I will never goin back , my suggestion is DO NOT go there if you have nice long hair she will cut it all !!!!! read more

I've been going to Hair Mode for 10 years. I'm always searching for new places for haircuts but I end up going back to Kim Young Eun. She is really talented and gives you the cut that you want. I've had Magic Perm done twice here and they pay special attention to your hair so that it doesn't get fried. It is a bit pricey but well worth it. However, I wish they wouldn't charge $10 for trimming bangs! I had highlights/streaks done here twice and wasn't happy with results and ended up dyeing over them. They're good with everything else but highlights/streaks. Anyway, I still love this place and give it 5 stars. read more

This is the best hair salon that I've ever been to. If you have thick and long hair, get Young, and she'll thin it like you never experienced before. Price is around $45 if you have a lot of hair, like me. It's so worth it because I trust her skills and that she won't mess up! If you could bring a pic of the hair style that you want, she can definitely follow that as well. I only had haircut here so I'm not sure if they're good at some other stuff. She's the owner so she can be quite busy. So make an appointment beforehand. :) read more

After I read good reviews, I went to Hair mode for Magic straightening perm. I have medium length asian minor curly hair. I did magic volume hair perm since 2004. This place is the worst place you can get straight perm. They use old style and chip strong chemical smell solution for perm. They fried my hair badly and charge me $250. This place owned by two sisters who is Yong and Jenny what I heard from an assistant lady. Jenny suppose to do my hair but a Hispanic lady did my hair whole time except hair cut and blow dry. My hair cut is ridiculous,too. I'm speechless with anger every time when I look or touch my hair. I will never going back to here and do not waste your money for japanese strIghtening hair perm read more

I think I found my new hair place. Called in the morning, got an appointment within the next hour. I believe the owner cut my hair. I wanted a few inches off but not a drastic cut. She did a fantastic job! A lot of attention to detail on how she was shaping my hair and I am overall very satisfied with the end result. For shampoo, cut and style came to $45 plus a lil extra for tip. read more

I have mixed Asian hair, and it took me awhile to find a salon that was willing to do mixed hair and not charge a lot of additional money. My mother discovered Young at Hair Mode when I was in middle school, and I've been coming here ever since (over 10 years)! Young listens closely to your opinion, and I have never been disappointed with any of her haircuts. I have very long and thick curly hair and she's been able to wash, cut, blow-dry, and flat iron my hair, too. I highly recommend her and Hair Mode! read more
