Personally i would not recommend coming here if u want layers. I'm not sure if the stylist i got just wasnt comfortable doing layers but they came out very choppy. It's definitely not the worst haircut ever it's just not great so i wouldn't go back to the same lady. The blow out she gave me was also not very good, it left my hair tangled and i had some pieces that were just sticking out weird after. Overall it's a nice salon and well priced ($48 for women's wash and cut) but i would not recommend if you want a layered haircut or a blow out.

I've been seeing Brittany for about a year, and when I would re-balayage my hair, she did an excellent job filling in the gaps and maintaining my hair length/ health because she was able to build off of her own work. I later went and got blue hair from Brittany! She fully achieved my "mermaid goals" and told me what length and styling was best for my thin/ long hair type. I listened to her suggestions and we worked together to get my blue hair absolutely perfect! This is the only place in Blacksburg I fully trust with my hair color and cut.

After a lot of tears, the woman finally decided to do a toner, which helped but could only help so much since she made my hair look practically grey. This hair was supposed to be a honey golden blonde and turned out grey. What I asked for vs what I got all I wanted was the ends of my hair to match my roots and that was not what was delivered these stylists do not know how to simply match a color and I ended up with a green and grey hair. They are only challenging the review because I am young and salons who value their customers (every customer) would not come out and denigrate a customer rather than taking the higher road. You have good reviews, I apologize that mine is not one of them, but those interested deserve the opportunity to see all of the feedback.

Figured I should post, since it was the good reviews that brought me to Lia's. I popped in, to check it out for myself, and though every chair was full, I was told I was welcome to wait for a cut... so I did. I saw that this is a busy shop -not frou-frou- but has everything you need and offers good products and lots of services (hair and wax-no stinky nails-yay). Everybody seemed down-to-business, and there was a mixed male/female clientele. I got a great haircut (thanks Becca!) for a great price. Right on Main Street. Who knew. Apparently lots of people... thanks to some of their reviews, me and my hair are very happy. read more

Luanda cut my hair, and it truly made my day! She was such a delight and was so considerate and interesting to get to know. She came in on her day off when we realized our weekday schedules weren't lining up, and waited for me to come in until she left for the day to go spend Halloween with her family. In terms of my hair, it looks amazing now. I really needed a trim and a revamp on my locks, and Luanda definitely delivered. Her artistic talent is truly impressive. This is my favorite salon that I've ever been to. read more

I just got my hair cut here last week. My stylist was Rebecca and she was wonderful! One of the best hair cuts I have had. The homely environment that people are raving about is a huge positive! Rebecca was so invested in making sure I got services that catered to my individual needs. She asked me a lot of questions and took great care of my hair accordingly! She was very patient and even gave me fun free tips that would work best for my hair type! Will definitely go back again :) read more

I was looking to get the remaining red undertones lifted out of my hair, to maintain a shade that…read morewas a bit lighter than my natural color (brown), and I was very clear that I did NOT want distinct / chunky blonde highlights. In summary: less red, closer to blonde than my natural hair color is, and NOT chunky highlights. I've included a photo of my hair color before for reference. The stylist I saw was so lovely and friendly! She did a very good job lifting out the red with color remover, leaving it pretty light, and then dyed it back to a base brown color. These highlights did not come out very well at all. My total for this appointment was $215, and I do not feel that the outcome reflects this cost. These pictures are from a day after the appointment. I contacted the store with the same pictures and expressed my concerns and the owner responded to me very quickly (within an hour or so!). She then told me that she spoke with the (again, very lovely) stylist. I do think it is important to note that this stylist was remedying a similar highlight situation on a different client at the same time as my appointment. The owner offered me the solution to either also remedy with the same stylist, or to pay full price to see a different stylist. I am a little worried to see the same stylist (NOT because of her personality or anything, but because of this outcome, which appears to have also happened to another lady very recently), but I cannot afford to pay this price again. The owner was not willing to entertain a partial refund, remedy with an alternate stylist at a reduced cost, or store credit towards a future service. The owner was very quick to respond which I did appreciate and the stylist was so nice. I will update this review if I do end up having a different outcome, but just wanted to share my experience, and I feel a little embarrassed to be wearing this hair color situation out in public! Yikes! Hope it all works out for my hair.

My hair color was a light brown with golden/red undertones. I had spoken with my sister who is a cosmetologist as well as two other friends who work at hair salons and they all told me that what I wanted would be easy to have done and not be that expensive. I went into InStyle for the first time for my appointment with Jesse. I let her know what I wanted thinking there would be no issue and she immediately took on a very argumentative tone with me regardless of the polite tone that I speak to everyone in. She has no respect for her clients or their wishes whatsoever. I ended up getting a drab basic dark brown all-over color which costed my $125. Back in Jan. I had the same exact service done, an all-over color and cut, at Younique (which I suggest you go to instead) and it was only $95 and the service was infinitely better. I don't enjoy being yelled at by someone who I am paying - she honestly created a scene. I wish I had the guts to grab my bag and walk out the door the first time she started raising her voice and and talking to me so fast and aggressive. Also, I asked for an inch or two off my ends and she only dusted them with a minimal trim. I have never had this problem anywhere as most stylists cut off too much but I barely felt or saw the scissors touch my hair. She said this was because my hair was healthy, however part of her reasoning in not wanting to do the blonde pieces was that it would leave my hair damaged. I told her I had tried blondes in my hair before and it took the process well but she likely wasn't listening to me. Unbelievable. The other ladies that work there seemed like they would have given me equally unsatisfying service. This is honestly a horrible salon. The pictures on Google make it look ritzy and inviting but it is absolute trash I tell you.

I understand that there is some breakage when bleaching hair. I also understand that the process I wanted done would have been multiple steps and multiple appointments. She wouldn't even consider it. After she was too scared to lighten my hair ,I suggested she go darker and she refused that as well. I simply needed a change. I waited SIX months to sit in her chair. It sounds to me like she could use some more training. I waited to post a review to make sure that it was warranted. The fact that I'm still upset about it tells me it needed to be written. People look forward to their hair appointments. We pay A LOT of money for the time in the chair and the end result. Had she taken the time to listen to me, she would have realized I wasn't looking for perfection. Honestly its more about the "me" time and the experience of having my hair done than what the specific color(s) turn out to be. It's just hair to me. I even told her that. I'm constantly doing something new to mine. Point to this review: If you're looking for a new stylist, she's not your girl. I cannot speak to what the other two stylists do there. Being overly worried about your reputation can backfire. Give the customer what they ask for. *The photo is my hair in it's current condition. Still haven't had it done.
