It was easy to schedule as I called and she texted me the link to book online. You can also book via Yelp. Her prices are reasonable. She also has good reviews am adding one more! She actually answered my questions and was free a little early but I kept my appointment. Her salon is located in a salons area and it is a small well lighten unit. She was available and heard my concerned about keeping my hair length and making it easy to style natural. She did a wet cut as she informed me she needed to see my hair. She was Virgil and cut a little. Surprisingly my hair was still long and she added some good fancy products a I know that bran at Sephora. Finally she let my hair dry under the dryer. I let it air dry for the rest of the time and it got some fluffiness so I added more product of mine. Over all I would recommend this salon. I would go again. I am happy o get my curls back Xoxxo

So I first off want to clarify that I was fortunate enough to win their Instagram balayage…read moregiveaway. But I swear that despite that, my review is 100% completely honest!! So when I went in, I already had blonde hair but I hadn't gotten it done since Thanksgiving so my naturally dark hair was peeking through in my roots. My blonde was also very warm and a little bit lackluster (just because it had been months since I last got it done!). So I knew going in that I really wanted to brighten my hair and give it a little refresh. I wanted a little more blonde and was hoping to add some more dimension. One of the owners, Melanie, did my hair. Starting off, I felt totally at home and comfortable. She grabbed me a Diet Coke and spoke with me about my hair and asked what I was looking for. I wanted to be realistic and I wanted to ensure that my hair would last until graduation (I graduate college in seven weeks). She was quick and efficient! We chatted about all sorts of things and honestly the three hours went by so fast!! The head massage/wash was so wonderful and relaxing. I've been wanting to go here for years (been following the account since freshman year) and I'm so glad I finally got the chance! My hair is stunning and Melanie is truly a star. I am so confident and just really appreciated the whole process. Grateful for this and super happy with my final look!

I was a client here for years and worked with two different stylists. Unfortunately, both…read moreexperiences were disappointing and ultimately damaging to my hair. The first stylist showed little concern for hair health. My hair became severely damaged, and the highlights were poorly done--harsh, with straight lines and clearly visible foil marks. Even after going back for a touch-up, the work never improved. I switched to a second stylist for balayage, hoping for better results. On my most recent visit, I came in only for a toner and specifically asked for a golden honey blonde. Instead, I left with a dark, cool brown color that was the complete opposite of what I requested. Before I even left the salon, the stylist and other staff were trying to wash the color out, which made it clear it was wrong. The stylist knew I was unhappy, but I had a work event that night and had no real option but to leave. I called the salon the next day to have it fixed and was told there was no availability for two weeks. When I finally came back in, the stylist didn't even dry my hair--so there was no way to properly see whether the color had been corrected. Overall, this salon is overpriced, stressful, and inconsistent. Given the cost, I expected professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for client requests. I did not receive that and would not recommend this salon.

I stopped by Drybar National Landing before heading out, and I'm so glad I did. First, they validate parking in the garage across from Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, which is a huge perk since parking around Crystal City can be difficult. This was my first Drybar visit, and the experience was seamless from start to finish. Mia did my blowout and was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I wanted tight curls, but my hair is naturally straight and usually refuses to hold them. She listened carefully and adjusted the styling approach to help make the curls last. I also added the repair treatment, which left my hair feeling unbelievably soft, lightweight, and healthy. The final look was gorgeous, and I left feeling confident, polished, and ready for my FIFA watch-party debut. If you're looking for a great blowout in National Landing, I highly recommend booking with Mia!

This was my first DC appointment and I was pleased to book just the day before at a convenient time.

They also do a fantastic job on the wash with a massage feature, so it truly feels like a pamper session. My stylist was very efficient and gave me a silky blowout and lovely curls in just over an hour. My go-to spot whenever I'm back in DC!

UPDATE: Just look as his ridiculous responses to my review: Yelp does not allow me to use the…read morewords I would use to describe this kind of behavior: As you can see from the screenshot, in our private conversations, he said it was a balayage for $260. And I tipped $20 for $280. Yet when I complained that it felt like a ripoff bacuse the work was so poor, he invented this new story that: (1) I received a "retouch on my roots" that I should have paid extra for (2) in a perfect world I should pay EXTRA (WHAT?) for bringing my own dye in (because Arctic Fox is so controversial??!?) (3) that "the area is expensive" (4) that apparently i need an ongoing longterm relationship to have a dye job that doesn't leave me feeling ripped off (5) that "we always have free dialog" so that "you can alawys get alterations to your service complimentary of course" -- this is the biggest sticking point. Oh really? You have a dialog for complimentary alterations? When I messaged my complaint directly on Yelp, there was no response. The same inbox that booked my appointments suddenly went silent. Why was I not offered free alterations if I don't like my service? BECUASE THAT'S A STORY YOU TELL ONLY ON YELP. THAT OPTION WAS NEVER GIVEN TO ME. This is a man who tells one story to the public, and another in private. Personally, I call that LYING and DISHONEST. ---- He then said "i DID WHAT WAS NEEDED" to explain a bad job that was unsatisfying. So was MICROWAVING FISH AND EATING IT IN FRONT OF ME needed? Because most of the work wasn't even done by you, it was done by a subordinate. Anyone with 1/2 a brain should be able to see the level of ego just dripping off his response. Now go look at the other people with unsatisfied balayages. They were smart enough to take pictures and you can see how terrible some of them are. I'm tempted to go dig up my pictures. ORIGINAL REVIEW: tbh i won't be returning after that $280 dye job + cut where you used the scissor to make like 2 cuts, and where i had visible roots walking out of the place, where it was obvious y'all just wanted me to go because you closed up afterward and were rushing me out. Yeah... as friendly as y'all were ... Visible roots?!?!? No discount for bringing my own dye? Literally every time a friend has come to my house i've had less roots than the one time i paid So what was the point of paying? There was none. I had a wedding emergency and a friend who stole hair products from me. I had no choice but to find SOMEBODY that day. Everyone loves my hair, but i feel ripped the f off. P.S. If you update your response to my review again, i WILL go dig up the pictures and attach them.

For context the stylist I've been to for years is based in Baltimore and with how traffic can get I can't justify spending 40% of my saturday going to Baltimore to get my hair done. So I began the search looking for a new hairstyle salon. Tried Alexandria, Springfield, even Fairfax. But none have provided what I need and certainly not justifiable of the price it commanded. So I tried HairSocial because I found it on Google and I liked I can book online. My hair appointment consists of the following: Wash, Blow Dry, and an undercut. Sometimes I'll get it flat-ironed depending on the occasion. So I booked 4 days in advance and when I arrived for my appointment I had to wait 20 mins after my actual time (for context it was a Sunday afternoon and no one else was in the shop except for one customer). When I was seated I was only given a haircut and nothing else despite asking for a hair wash and a blowout. Considering I had to put a downpayment online to book the appointment I naturally felt bamboozled. They offered to do what I originally asked but they said I had to wait an hour. I didn't have time as I had a family dinner I had to attend so I decided to go home and wash my own hair. Before I left, the front desk offered to refund me on my card and then said no and could only offer me a credit. The credit was tied to my account yet the credit isn't available when you book online you can only access the credit if you call to set up an appointment. Extremely disappointed but the stylist did a great job with my haircut. I'm just disappointed that I didn't get what I paid for at a reasonable time. Thankfully the management of the loc in Tysons Corner set things right and as a result despite this location being closer to me I go out of my way to visit the HairSocial in Tyson's Corner (that review will be coming shortly).
