Med-Long Bob Layers Cut I'm absolutely thrilled! Beautiful job as always. Elaine has been my hair artist for at least 35 years. It has been years since I've gotten my hair done.She's got the magic touch! Mary prepared my hair applying the shampoo and gloss. She's so pleasant and did a great job. I love the atmosphere here at Shear Reflections. So welcoming, beautifully maintained! Let's give this experience 10 read more

I've gotten a couple of recommendations from my friends to go to Pinky for a haircut. I've been going to Ulta for years, but they've raised their prices so I decided to check out this salon. I called in a couple of days prior to see if I can get an appointment with Pinky. Luckily she had availability the next week at a perfect time for me! I walked in and was greeted right away. It was a bit chaotic, but I was able to get a wash easily. Unfortunately once Pinky started combing thru my hair, she saw that there was still some residue of conditioner left, so we had to rinse again. No problem, though. Onto the cut- I told her exactly what I wanted, how many inches off, and showed her an inspo picture! She blew dried my hair and started styling and omgoodness, it was better than the inspo picture! I was genuinely so impressed by her work, I couldn't stop taking selfies! Pinky now has a loyal customer! Thank you so much for making me feel so glam! read more

A family-owned business. My girls and I have been going to this place for over 20 years and I have never regretted any visits when I get our hair done. Very professional and friendly staff. The service is fluid from reservation, check in, shampoo, cut and color- only the best. The ambiance among the stylists and staff are friendly and respectful. Facility is clean and inviting. I've had hair done by Laura before and by Liz this visit. Francesca did my daughter's hair. As always we came out happy and feeling beautiful! read more

This place has been great. I've previously gotten haircuts from Pinky and Cathy without issue. Recently, I called in for a last minute haircut and was told neither of my go-to stylists were available but that Liz was available. I am so happy I went to Liz! I told her alllll of the issues I had and have with my hair including heaviness, pain due to a muscle condition, frizziness, lack of style, and a want for simplicity. She fulfilled every request and honestly gave me the best haircut and advice I have ever had. My curls are back, my hair has texture, and it's not heavy! I will be going back to Liz from now on. I have already recommended her to several friends and family. Thank you Liz for a fabulous haircut!! read more

Pinky is great! She is so attentive and listens to what you would like. She offered suggestions that were perfect for my hair. I always receive great haircut and styles from her. I loved the length and the versatility of my style and Pinky showed me a few different ways to wear my hair for an up coming events. She also did a fantastic job on my sister, who wanted something completely different from her normal, long, straight, black hair. So, Pinky suggested donating her locks and doing a balayage, we did exactly that. It came out so beautiful and my sister couldn't stop praising Pinky and her new look. The salon is so lovely, very elegant just like Pinky. This salon and all the wonderful people working here provide such a positive experience and top notch service to everyone. I definitely recommend Pinky! read more

This was my first time visiting the salon, and everything was fantastic! From booking my appointment with Sue to getting a cut and style done by Stephany, I felt that it was a very personable experience! I was also able to learn how to care for my hair better. read more

Great experience with Liz. I came in not really knowing exactly what I wanted. She was very patient and listened to me. And I finally have my hair back. read more

I love this place and wished I could come here regularly (I live on west coast). They treat you like family and all of the stylists are top notch. Today I had a last-minute appointment and Liz did a fantastic job with my cut and color. My mother came here regularly before she passed - always w oxygen tank and often in a wheelchair. They were always so kind and accommodating. read more

So happy with my birthday hair! Franchesca did a small color correction (from a previous salon), and a great blow out. She explained what she was doing to my hair and was friendly. The front desk and young lady that washed my hair were friendly as well. Will definitely return for Franchesca read more

I called to make an appointment requesting a stylist that is good with precision cuts. I have or should I say, HAD , medium length hair. I was scheduled with Laura. I went in just to have my hair evened up around the bottom and to add some lift to the top. I even had pictures to provide an idea of what I wanted. What I came out with, was most of my hair cut off and very poorly shaped. I have had short hair in the past and maybe this would have worked out(if I had asked for a short style) but I can't even style it to look good. Now I have to go through the time and additional expense to find another salon to attempt to fix it. I am not happy. If that's the type of cut I get when I specifically ask for a stylist that is qualified to do a "precision" cut, I won't be returning. read more

Had my hair cut for the first time since last fall because of a move and Covid. Alina was super attentive and took the time to figure out exactly what I wanted. I'll be coming back to her for a balayage next month. So happy to have found a new trusted stylist. On the Covid cleanliness side of things they were also great! Wiping everything down, using every other chair. They were all very friendly as well. read more

I got a haircut about a week ago from a different salon and it unfortunately didn't turn out the way I wanted and I decided doing a relatively big chop was the best way to remedy it. Luckily I stumbled upon this salon on here, saw the good reviews, made an appointment and was able to be taken in the same day. Sue was super helpful and quick on the phone and Liz cut my hair and with what she had to work with, she did an awesome job. Even though I was sad to see my long hair leave, Liz found a way for me to love it anyway. Thank you for helping me through the process and for listening to me! Also, I know I already said a lot (lol), but the salon also did a good job of keeping things cleaned, sanitized, and spaced apart that it was a comfortable enough environment even during this pandemic. Thank you again :) read more

Plus half a star. It was a little stressful having a misunderstanding on booking time for me as the bride (the stylist I specifically requested did not plan to come in for another hour from the requested time I booked for hence not giving a 5 star) but everything turned out fine and we were taken care of, thanks to Illyssa who's work I also liked and knew of from previous Yelp reviews! whew! Me and the bridal party came in and left with great wedding dos. Another thing to note not related to craftsmanship: we had a scare (grandma had a bad fall and the ladies were genuinely concerned even calling me back a few days later to get updates on her wellbeing which is awesome. I would still recommend them. read more

The entire team is amazing! No matter how busy they are, as soon as you walk through the door,they acknowledge you with a friendly smile. The entire salon staff is talented, and have a great rapport with each other. I'm not the best at planning my appointments, but no matter who the staff fits me in with they always do a fantastic job, whether it's my color, or cut I always walk away happy. read more

My hair grows very fast, so every 2-3 years I chop off my hair and donate it to Locks of Love. This year was the year for another donation, so I found Shear Reflection on Yelp and spontaneously went in (without an appointment). The primary reason why I chose this salon is because it's 1 block from my office. I saw that Pinky had really great reviews, so I called 10 minutes ahead. I had to wait about 15-20 minutes, but considering I didn't have an appointment, I wasn't complaining. I cut around 12 inches and Pinky wrapped it in a rubberband and foil so I could easily take it with me to make the donation. Pinky has been working there for a very long time - 8 years I think... My hair cut was $48. I tipped $3 to the lady who washed my hair and $10 to Pinky, so in total it costed me $61. I think that's a fair price for a simple hair cut. I'm not very picky with my hair cuts since my hair grows so fast. I think Pinky did a fine job, but then again, it's pretty hard to mess up a simple bob hair cut. And my hair is really easy to cut and manage. I've never had a hair cut that I hated. I don't usually color my hair because I don't want to ruin it for the donation but after Pinky cut my hair, I found out from my co-workers that they go to Pinky for color and she's pretty good at it. However, they go to different salons for their cuts. As I was waiting for my hair cut, I looked around and saw that the customer base at this salon is on the older side (50s - 60s) and the decor is a bit shabby. It's not really a salon for the young and trendy. I normally go to PR Partners in DC and feel like that is more my environment than this salon. But the ladies who work at Shear Relfections are super friendly. read more

Had Ilyssa as my hairdresser/stylist and showed a few reference pictures and I was very pleased with how my haircut turned out. The salon is filled with friendly/welcoming workers and they take COVID-19 precautions and safety measures seriously. It is a little pricey, but it is worth it. Will definitely go again in the future! read more

This is a wonderful salon!!! I loved Liz who did my color and cut perfectly after I walked in for the first time. She does my daughter's hair, so my daughter recommended this salon while I'm in town from Louisiana visiting long term. I am so pleased. This was actually my first time visiting a salon outside of the community in which I live. Everyone in this salon appears to be top notch!! Very professional salon!! Friendly!!! Just awesome all around!! I was pretty early but was greeted as soon as I walked through the door. I will go there on future visits to Maryland. If I lived here, this would definitely be my salon!! read more

Called in about requesting a specific hair color I had seen online. I sent pics and Ilyssa then gave me some recommendations. Went in the following week and was very excited about the results.

Strongly recommend read more

Our girls have had an amazing experience at this salon. From dramatically new hairstyles to them catering to homecoming updos, we've been so grateful for every stylist. Come here! You won't regret it! read more

I enjoyed this salon very much. I went in for a root melt, and was paired with a Jr. stylist named Julia. She did a fantastic job, and I left 100% thrilled with my beautiful new color. The salon would definitely appeal to the older generation, as it did not have anything too fancy newer salons tend to have, but there was nothing wrong with that. Everyone was nice, and friendly and I was accommodated very fast. Prices are fair, and I do recommend coming to this salon! read more

Shear Reflections is THE place to go! Everyone is very friendly and it's a super welcoming environment. I've had Alina do a balayage both times and she's always great about listening to my wants and helping me reach a realistic goal!

I can't say enough about how much I loved my experience here!! It had been a very long time since my last salon visit, and being new to the area, I was excited to see if this salon would be the right fit. I will 100% be coming back from now on! I was greeted warmly at the front desk and paired with Julia, who from the start was incredibly welcoming and fully invested in making sure I was satisfied with my visit. She took the time to ask me about my current hair routine and what I was looking to achieve, and helped me feel much better when I shared I was nervous about cutting my hair. I've had poor experiences with previous stylists not knowing how to work with curly hair, but Julia obviously is a master of her craft and went above and beyond to give me a cut that works with my style. She also gave me a deep conditioning treatment that completely transformed my dehydrated hair. She then suggested products that I could use to continue my hair care at home and gave me step-by-step instruction on how to use the products effectively. I never felt pressured to buy anything, but after seeing the incredible results I was more than happy to splurge on these quality products!! I interacted with several other stylists and team members and everyone was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I cannot wait for my next visit, and I know you will love Shear Reflections as much as I do! read more

My hair stylist is Pinky and I have been going there for the past five years and she is absolutely AMAZING at what she does! I'm a bit of a hair adventurer and like to try out new color and cuts from time to time. Pinky, unlike other stylists, actually listens to you and asks a lot of questions to get an idea of exactly what you want. I totally trust her with my hair and that's a hard thing to do when you have had some horrible experiences from stylists in the past. She is also really easygoing, reliable and most importantly, very consistent at her work. I get so many compliments on my hair...I LOVE the salon and definitely recommend Pinky! read more

Just left the salon. I have long hair that had a lot of brassiness, so i went in for color & cut. Ilyssa is awesome. She knew exactly what she was doing. She took me to a nice shade of brown & threw in just a few highlights. She gets you in & out quickly, & will leave you very satisfied. I am confident that I have found my stylist, at last.... If you want to try another stylist, I would recommend speaking with Sue, the receptionist. It seems like she has been there a while & is familiar with the strong areas of the stylists, so she could recommend one that may suit your needs. Everyone at the salon is friendly and they also have spa services. The salon doesn't look all that fancy, but don't let that fool you - they treat you very well here and most of the stylists are always cheerful ; ) Also their prices are very reasonable. read more

I am disappointed. After reading a lot of different reviews on Yelp, I decided to go here. The main reason why I wanted to go to a salon was because I had an urge for lighter hair and didn't want to end up with some weird yellow-orange hue because of some drugstore dye. My stylist was Pinky, maybe she's great at threading eyebrows, but my color sure didn't come out right. I naturally have dark brown hair and I wanted to get a honey blonde color. Well my color turned out to be a reddish brown which isn't even much lighter than my natural hair color! After I told the stylist that the color didn't look like the swatch at all, she said my hair was still wet and that it would get lighter. Yeah right. This was my first time dying my hair at a salon - the appointment started twenty minutes late + wrong hair color = not something I'd be willing to pay 80$ for (that was a full color job and sitting under a stationary hairdryer). The lady at the reception desk was very nice, the atmosphere is nice too. Everybody is very nice and polite. But I wouldn't come back there to dye my hair. read more

Shear Reflections continued to be my favorite salon. I have sent many friends over the years who have been extremely happy. Each prospective client is assigned a stylist that fits their needs and they sure get it right! Love Shear Reflections! read more

I feel awfully rude, but I feel my last review was too generous, seeing as I have to look at this haircut. The one who cut my hair dyed it really well but consistently rejected anything I asked for. I asked for my bangs cut, so they didn't hang in my face, and she didn't do it. Asked for my hair shorter, she barely cut it. It's lopsided and there's one chunk that's longer than everything near it. She wouldn't even cut the hair in front of my ears. I said that it stuck up when I put my glasses on, she said to grow it out. I cut them at home. I want to be nice. I do. And she dyed my hair really well. But I have to pin my hair back, to make it look shorter and more presentable. I thought that, since I can handle it, and that since she dyed my hair well, that I should leave a more pleasant review. But I can't afford another haircut and I just... feel like I look awful. I want so badly to cut it myself. read more

I have been trying to find a good hair stylist for awhile; after a very bad experience at a chain salon... I started doing things for myself. Well let's say that the last box of hair color didn't give me the result that I expected. ACK!!! In my eyes I was seeing something darker than what I wanted and was that a green hue I was seeing? Doh! I did a lot of one line searching and reading reviews and decided to go here; I like what some of the other reviewers said, and called for an appointment. I was very happy that they listened to my story over the phone. I was also impressed that I got none of that attitude that some places will give when they find out that you have been messing with your own hair. They were extremely accommodating, and I was able to get an appointment within the hour of calling. AWESOME. Sharon my hair stylist; sat me down and looked at my hair. She talked me through all my options, and stated that she didn't see the green that I was seeing. She very well could have sold me into a double process and highlights before hand. I found her honesty refreshing. Violet shampoo was her recommendation, the way that she spoke I knew I could trust her. I was greatly relieved. As far as the hair cut, she was awesome... my hair is long a couple of inches below my bra strap. So I get scared each time a need a trim, afraid that I will need a 4 inch trim... but I also know that long hair isn't pretty if it doesn't look healthy. I was very happy that my trim was just that, I don't think she took an inch off and the long layers were touched up nicely. She worked with me to get my bangs the way I like them. She blew my hair strait, and gave me some tips with using a flat iron. My hair looked great... I was very happy. Now for the best part, the price... it was extremely affordable. I was kinda expecting a la carte type pricing; an extra charge for long hair, an extra for the flat iron... I was floored that price that was listed on their web site was the price I paid. I will never go to another big chain store again. I am very looking forward to my next visit; I will be getting highlights if I can't get used to this darker shade... LOL I am so happy that I went to them. read more

I went to Shear Reflections for the first time after having it recommended to me by many friends. My other salon was too far from my house and way too expensive, so I decided to try Shear Reflections. I called about a week ago and asked for any stylist -- I'd never been before -- and was given a Saturday, 12 pm appointment with Chrissy. I was thrilled at how quickly it was to get an appointment, and at a prime time on a holiday weekend (the only time I could go, because I'm on college break just for a few days). When I got to the salon, I was promptly greeted, offered to sit down, and told where to change into a smock. I showed Chrissy a photo of the hairstyle I wanted, cut and color, and she started to emulate it. I was worried that it wouldn't turn out like the photo, because I was going blonder than I usually am and was nervous about the big change. But Chrissy did an AMAZING job on my incredibly thick hair! The highlights look amazing and the cut is the perfect length. The best part is that the price of the cut and full foils was over $50 less than my other salon! And first-time customers can tip on credit card (I had forgotten cash). Definitely go to Shear Reflections, and ask for Chrissy! read more
