I would wholeheartedly recommend Muse hair Salon. Atilla is a magician with hair. You can go in looking drab and dull and come out looking a Hollywood red carpet star! He is someone who really knows his art and what is good for the hair. I hope he will expand his business to DC too. read more

What more can I say, I love this salon! Atilla did an amazing job with my hair. I was recommended by two good friends. And boy were they right. I got my hair colored and cut. It turned out soft, silky, and most importantly HEALTHY! During the whole process, he made me feel so comfortable. He's very attentive to his guest. I was offered tea! At the end of the day, I felt amazing. It was worth my money and time. I highly recommend everyone to go here if you want your hair done right. read more

My mom and I have been Atilla's clients for 12 years and followed him from the Dc to his now falls church location. He is trustworthy, friendly, loyal, hardworking, and give wonderful customer service. I have never left his salon under 120% satisfied. He is super knowledgeable and has come through with exactly what I asked for but also most healthy for my hair. I trust his skills and knowledge and leave my hair in his hands and sit there peacefully knowing it will turn out great- and I truly feel that he is this way with all of his clients. My latest visit today, I asked for a natural blonde ombré for my dark brown hair and he once again did an amazing job! He knows a exactly what he is doing and he is great at it. I plan to stay his client for as long as possible! read more

I will be back and bring my daughter and my peeps w me! Muchas Gracias Fran! read more

I like this place place I had a great hair cut just ask Atilla... Also delicious Turkish coffee... read more

I used to get my hair cut by Atilla when he was at a salon in Foggy Bottom, but I followed him out to his new salon in Virginia -- it was totally worth it! When he left, I initially tried a couple of places around the District closer to where I live and/or work (e.g., Bang Salon, Grooming Lounge). I wasn't completely satisfied with my haircuts from those places, however -- I didn't feel like the stylists really listened to what I was looking for (or maybe they did, but couldn't figure out how to put that into action). So I poked around and found Atilla's new location and steeled myself for the trek out to Arlington. And I'm glad that I did. Atilla did as good a job on my hair as ever. P.S. This salon's location is on Lee Highway and a bit of a walk from the nearest Metro. But it is easily accessible via bus (take 3A, 3B, or 3E from Rosslyn or the 3Y from Farragut North). The eastbound bus stops about 15 feet from the front door of the salon. read more

First of all, Sonia gave me a solid, simple haircut. She was sweet and did as I requested. This review isn't about her. My overall experience, however, was terrible. I walked in, was not greeted by anyone in the almost empty salon, so I introduced myself and my appointment time with "Atilla." After I used the restroom and sat down, a woman asked me to sit in her chair and what I wanted to do with my hair. I had to introduce myself yet again, and ask who she was. I told her I had an appointment with Atilla, and she just looked at me, so ... I said "well whatever!" Anywho, again, she did a great cut and offered me tea or coffee I did NOT get a $70 haircut though... Meanwhile everyone in the salon ignored my existence (I was the only client) and gabbed in the back. Including the stylist I was supposed to see. And speaking of the salon... it was so strange looking. Not marked well from the street, décor was weird. Not high end for the high end prices they charge... not even a receptionist. And to that end, I almost walked out the door without paying as Sonia waved me bye and there was no one around. I had to remind THEM I needed to pay. As mentioned, when I saw the price, I knew I wouldn't be back. I paid too much for a cut with someone I didn't even have an appointment with in a shady salon. WEIRD. Atilla might be great as the reviews say, but I'd never know. Sonia can give a solid hair cut if you can stand the environment. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. What I would tell anyone wondering if they should try this place or not is this: "JUST GO". You won't be sorry. Everyone is nice and professional...courteous and sensitive. Atilla is a ROCK STAR, although I don't think he would admit to it :) I've had a difficult time finding someone I trust with my hair, which is long and wavy, and can also be, I'm sad to say, frizzy at the best of times. I like that I didn't really have to explain things. Atilla took one look at me and knew exactly what to do and how to proceed. He listened to me, too, and helped bring out the me that I really am inside. Corny, I know - but true nevertheless. So GO. Just do it. For yourself. read more

This salon was highly recommended by my two friends. Atilla is a very awesome hair colorist. He was honest about what he could Do with the color for my hair he went above and beyond by adding a bunch of pretty colors for my hair then to let him know when I would add more. I had 3 hair stylist working on me on Thursday it was great. I had a great experience. read more

THE best, most enjoyable haircut experience I've ever had! I loved Atilla. This is saying a lot since I've been to quite a few salons as we are military and move around often. Atilla understood the things that bothered me about my hair before I even mentioned them and yet was so positive and made me feel like great things were possible. He was interested in my hair!--The whole time he was cutting he taught me so much about my hair, how to care for and style it. I have fine hair that always goes flat and he cut amazing layers that were perfect and plumped everything up. I usually leave a salon slightly disappointed with styled, flat hair that I can't wait to go home and redo myself, but he made my hair look so beautiful I wanted to go out on the town afterward instead of back home. I loved his attitude and passion for his work. read more

Atilla and his crew are awesome! Would highly recommend for men's and women's cuts -- he is great with both (actually got my wife to start going to him, she is very happy). Customer service is superb -- from start to finish. Check him out - He's the man! read more

I love Muse Atila is a fantastic hair stylist. I must say he is very nice to talk to and great conversations also. He does not rush and takes his time and understand his clients value. Coffee and tea is always offered i go here since he opened the shop great addition to Arlington. read more

Great haircut for a great price. The owners are friendly, punctual and the service is excellent! read more

Still go here and they do a great job but my only complaint is that no one ever answers the phone there! I call and either it just rings and rings or I get a voicemail. Frustrating trying to get an appointment when you can't get a receptionist to answer the phone. read more

One review really struck a chord. I had the exact same experience in this salon's previous incarnation. Nobody said hello when I walked in, they looked at me almost suspiciously. I never went back. What is UP with that space? read more

Going to Muse Salon was the worst decision I've ever made. I have been traveling home to get my hair done for the past 7 years because I was afraid of trying someone new who would ruin my hair. I finally decided to bite the bullet, do some research, and made an appointment with Atilla last week. TERRIBLE DECISION. I don't know who the reviewers are giving him such a good rating (although I'm sure he's adequate for a simple male haircut), but he destroyed my hair. I came in with long, natural brown hair that is never heat treated, always air dryed and in fantastic condition. I put a tiny bit of color in it for the first time last year to get a slight ombre, and I came back in to have it redone and get a cut/style. We discussed what I wanted and I said "I do NOT want chunky blonde highlights at the top of my head". I even showed him pictures, but the whole time he kept talking over me and trying to rush me into the chair, barely listening. He then grabbed a fistful of my hair, chopped it off and threw it at my feet. Next, he started testing my entire head of hair. I was horrified. Teasing alone causes breakage in the hair. I asked him why he was doing that, he said "it will make the color blend better and not be in an even line" so I let him continue (forewarning, this method did not work). After the aggressive teasing he applied bleach to the majority of my head starting only a few inches from my scalp. After my wash, Atilla and his assistant ripped hair brushes through my wet, bleached, teased hair. Then he put me back in the chair and started chopping away. After a rough blow dry, I looked in the mirror and almost cried. Instead of the lovely brown to blonde ombre we discussed, I had thick streaks of blonde all over my head starting 2 inches from my scalp. It looked like I got a poor highlight job 3 months ago and it grew out. Now my hair is dried out and ugly, the texture, color and cut that I had before completely ruined. There is a distinct line around my head between blonde and brown with no transition whatsoever. And my hair now looks like straw from all the bleaching that i DID NOT ask for. Atilla rushed me in and out for a cut, color and blow dry in just 2 hours whereas at previous salons my color has taken 4 hours and the cut 1-2 hours. He clearly has had no professional training whatsoever and is just looking to make quick money. I called him back to tell him how upset I was and consider having him fix it but again, he just talked over me, not listening to my concerns, saying "Oh just come in and we'll put toner in, it's no big deal". Toner won't fix this problem, and it is a big deal. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. This is literally the worst cut and color I have ever received, and now I have to go spend $300 back home to get it fixed. In the mean time, if you see a girl walking around with cheap tacky do-it-yourself looking highlights, that's probably me, feel free to say hi. read more

This salon is fantastic. I got my hair cut there today by Atilla, the owner. I used to go to him when he worked at a salon in DC, and when he opened his own shop, it was a no-brainer to follow him to Muse! Beyond excelling at the art of hair styling, he clearly wants you to be comfortable at the salon. He gets that beyond the craft, he is very much in a people business, and if he makes you feel comfortable with a complimentary beverage (including beer/wine, etc.) and good conversation, you will enjoy yourself, return for repeat business, and refer friends, as well. Go to Muse - you will not be disappointed! Side note - there is free parking behind the building in the open air lot and in the building's garage. read more

So my husband and boys would go to Atilla when he was located at Foggy Bottom. I never used him then because a woman's hair takes much longer and parking was always a challenge there. A couple of years ago I called to make an appointment for them and they told me he had moved. Unbelievable but he moved from Foggy Bottom to Lee Hwy in Arlington. A stones throw away from my home. Great luck for me because I started using him. I get stopped everywhere. Just last week I had to go to a new dermatologist and the nurse commented on my hair and when I went back for a followup she told me she had made an appointment. I have had two friends, loyal to their prior hairdressers, convert to Atila. I have been stopped by both men and women complimenting me on my hair. It is healthy and the cut is amazing. He sees me every 6-8 weeks. Once a year he does Keratin. I will say though that staying out of the pool is one of his rules. So in the summer, I usually go to the pool and indulge right before my next color appointment. I also have to share that I use to think that stylists would push products but in this case, I do buy the shampoo and conditioner and my color does not fade. I don't let anyone else use my products and it lasts a long time because the quality stuff tends to last longer. I can't believe I could have had this hair since 2006. Instead I suffered through bad color and haircuts because I didn't want to deal with Foggy Bottom parking. So glad he made the switch and so did I. read more

Needed a walk-in appointment and they were extremely accommodating. Saw Francesca and she was very sweet and understood exactly what I was looking for. My hair looks healthy and beautiful! Recommending to everyone! Not too pricey for the quality you get. read more

I have been a customer of Atilla for 12 years. It's hard to believe:) He's just amazing. He always does a great job with my hair. He's great at coloring, hairstyling, and haircuts. Not only that but he is the nicest person. He is so easy to talk to. He really cares for you. You are not "just a customer" to him. I used to get my hair done in DC, but I followed him out to his new place, Muse. The staff at Muse is also exceptional. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. My whole family goes to Muse now as well. You can tell we have all become a fan of Atilla and "Muse". I highly recommend it to anyone. read more

I loved the color, they spent a few minutes with me helping me decided exactly what I wanted as well as gave me some great tips for care for my type of hair. I will absolutely be back. The prices were not cheap but affordable. Worth the money for sure. read more

The best hair salon ever! My hair has never looked so good. Prepare to be pampered in this wonderful hair salon. You will leave looking great! read more

My family moved to Arlington two months ago and needed to find a new place to get our hair cut. My wife found Muse on Yelp and we are so happy with the results we wouldn't think of going elsewhere. The staff is extremely friendly and everyone in the family - me, my wife, my 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son get our hair cut there. Attila does a fantastic job and is a genuinely nice person. Muse has my highest recommendation! read more

This review is for mani/pedi with Simone. She is just fantastic! She is very skilled and does an excellent job at cleaning up the nails and polishing them! You must try her! Simone is at the salon from Monday-Wednesday. read more

Atilla is exceptional. He's the only stylist in my 20+ years of getting grown-up haircuts who knows how to make me look pretty. Every picture I post on Facebook these days invariably gets a lot of "you look so fabulous!!" comments. Try Atilla if you can. I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is amazing. I followed the owner, Atilla, from his old place in DC and it is more than worth it. I've been seeing him for years and wouldn't go to anyone else. He is a pure master at color. He is more than just a stylist - he's an genius at his craft. He is also one of the most personable and sweet, caring people you will ever meet. Highly recommend this place! read more

My visit to this salon was amazing! I have never met a stylist/colorist who was as knowledgeable as Atilla. I walked in with hair that was over-processed and damaged and thinning...I was so unhappy with it. I walked out with beautiful, shiny, healthy looking hair. My haircut was perfect...beautiful, yet easy to style. The color is rich and natural looking. I am definitely returning and can't wait for my next appointmnet. I chose this salon by chance because they use Goldwell hair color... I just wish I had found this salon sooner. read more

Attila is great! He knows how to cut my crazy, wavy/curly/coarse hair...and that's hard to find. He also found time for me in a short notice situation, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend! read more

The staff at Muse do an excellent job, at a modest price, in a really comfortable setting. They treat you great and the location makes it very accessible. read more

I've tried to like this salon...I really, really have...but we must go our separate ways. It is the anti-salon experience. The owner is super nice and personable and usually gives a good haircut. The last time I went in for color correction from another salon. I was happy with the cut from the prior salon, but he insisted on trimming it, making it really blunt, which I hated. Then he did a moisturizing treatment. Didn't ask. Just said he was doing it, so I just thought it was part of the re-coloring process. End of story...it all came to $200! For a haircut I didn't want, need, or like, and a moisturizing treatment I didn't ask for. I wasn't even a fan of the color correction. Besides that, his male assistant is the worst. He used cold water on my head, never asking if the temp was ok. But the worst part...he literally hurt my head pulling the comb through my wet hair that had some product on it. Not a care at all about my comfort. I could tell he gave zero f***s. Didn't even try. He's always been like that. It's obvious he doesn't really like people. Why's he in the industry? The mostly good haircuts at this place aren't worth the rest of the experience, especially when there are so many options in the area. Goodbye, Muse! read more

It is very difficult to find a hairstylist/barber that can always bring their A-game to the table when cutting your hair. Boutique Muse caters to men ranging from a regular wash-and-go type of guy to the businessmen working in downtown who need a bit of trimming during their lunch break. By appointment only. The receptionist is very friendly and there is always great conversation to be had with Atilla, and you leave the place feeling great and not worrying about how your hair looks. The hair stylist also gives great tips on how to manage your hair. This is definitely 5+ stars hair salon in town. read more

Finally, a friendly, classy salon in Arlington that is affordable and doesn't require that you make an appointment 8 weeks in advance! I went to Atilla for the first time, and I am so pleased with my haircut and the whole experience. After one haircut, he's got me as a regular customer. read more

Excellent place, expert styling, exceptional customer service. Having just moved to the Arlington area from Over seas and worried about finding the right place, I was fortunate to have found Muse salon so close and so accessible. It was like a little piece of Europe, when I had been missing home. I didn't have to wait 5-6 weeks for a hair appointment either, they easily accommodated my schedule when I had called. When I arrived for my appointment, all the staff was kind and welcoming (and they serve a Turkish tea- which was lovely). One specific plus is the fact that the other customers in the salon all expressed their complete satisfication with the service here and were openly full of praise for this this place and the staff. Watching the interactions of the staff with their customers was awesome- the Muse staff has created a family environment, showing that they are not only invested in their skills but also their clients. masis and atilla were competent, confident and did an beautiful job on my cut, color and style. I brought with me very specific directions from my previous hairdresser that I had gone to for the past five years, and atilla and masis was adaptable and creative to make me happy and demonstrate their talent for hair. My only complaint is that they were a little rough during the blow-out, I have thick hair and a tough scalp but it was just a little more than what I am used to. Otherwise It was a great experience, I am very happy with my hair color and cut. I am excited to go back in a few weeks, and would definitely recommend this place to others in the area. Thank you Muse salon for welcoming me to the community and for your exceptional service. read more

This salon is a hidden gem. I got the best cut I've ever had in my life, from Atilla. He gives great advice on my difficult hair. And he took my ashy blonde to a very natural-looking red, which is difficult to do. And they're not overbooked, so it's easy to get an appointment there. read more

I've had two haircuts now with Attila and have been very happy both times! The first time, I hadn't had a haircut in over a year and he did amazing things to help my hair, including doing a free keratin treatment on my ends. I noticed a huge difference. I just went back this week for my second haircut and he cleaned my ends up in no time, and once again my hair feels SO healthy and silky. We also made a timeline of haircuts for my upcoming wedding next year to make sure my hair is in its best condition ever. I trust him and his advice and my hair seems to appreciate it! They also provide a complementary beverage of water, tea, coffee etc. read more
