I had a bad experience. :(…read more Negative: I was made to fill out a long and detailed form that demands photograph for style. Then nothing I requested - blow out and pin flower in hair -was acknowledged or addressed. I was not greeted upon arrival. Walked into middle of salon and had to find my way to the stytlist. The stylist had to get an owner to finish up b/c he didn't know how to pin a flower in above ear. (Not an up do). A smock was not put on me for shampoo so my clothes got wet. I was barraged with text and emails about "if I miss appointment." I will be charged and yet no information was given about how to find entrance. I looked for 15 minutes. Hidden at top of a hill. You have to know to drive up a steep hill to find it. Positive: Megan did a wonderful job pinning the fresh flower in. I love the feel of the space, a tree top oasis.

And when the one employee who stood up for her spoke out? Fired. Because clearly, protecting fragile egos ranks higher here than basic decency. Maybe they should spend less time policing hair textures and more time learning how to treat all customers with respect. Until then, if your hair doesn't fit a narrow definition of 'acceptable,' do yourself a favor and go somewhere that won't make you regret walking through the door.

As of early 2026 he has two other stylists and they have crazy hours. You can call to make an appointment but walk-in is easier unless you have a specific stylist in mind. Note the language barrier, but pics and pointing works surprisingly well. Much of the clientele is men but I have a shag pixie so it translates. They do ladies of course, and unlike men my alternative is to drop $$$ megabucks $$$ at a sun-drenched salon with potted plants every 2-3 months which is no bueno. For my set up, they wash, they cut, they wash a second time, they lightly style, and finally cut-refine. He also fixed my brows, a bonus :) He does solid work and I can maintain better more regularly so I'm happy to return.

I've read various reviews on other sites and either you love the place or you're turned off by the…read moreconstant upselling. Here's my take on the place. I probably would go somewhere else if it wasn't for my stylist, Dillian. I've tried a number of salons in Charlottesville based off of various recommendations and he has given me the best cut so far. Everybody who works at Shear Power is extremely nice I do enjoy visiting. That being said, they will try to upsell you in every way possible, from deep conditons, to protein treatments, to eyebrow waxes to hair product. Just hold your ground and say no. I used to fall for it every time but ever since I was talked into getting a perm that I ended up hating, I've stopped falling for the upsells. Based on my concerns about the perm, they should have steered me away and into something else. I wanted a wave, not frizzy tight curls. They could have cared less, they just wanted the upsell. Btw - it's not my stylist that pushes product, it's everyone else. He stays out of it. Oh, I also wouldn't recommend getting your brows waxed there.
