AWESOME SALON!!!!! I actually found this hair salon through yelp, but I am so glad I did!!!! My hair was frazzled and the color inconsistent, but Cucy took one look at it and fixed it in no time!!!! She is the most highly skilled hair stylist and colorist I have ever been to in 2 decades!!!! In fact, she is the same delightful, talented stylist/colorist every time I go there, and is dedicated to making my hair look its best. The shade of hair color she chose matches my skin tone perfectly, Cucy is very creative with hair styles and each of them look fabulous. She can give your hair gorgeous curls, make it shiny and straight, french braid it, or do a myriad of other things. If that weren't enough, she even recommends hair products THAT ACTUALLY WORK!!! That is pretty amazing, when you consider it. My hair is now manageable and the products work like a charm. And don't let me forget to tell you that Cucy is skilled at cutting frizzy or curly hair as well as straight and wavy hair. For those of you whose hair is frizzy or curly, you already know it requires significant skill to cut hair so that it looks great. But this is also part of Cucy's repertoire. I can't say enough superlatives about what an absolutely fabulous salon this is!!!!! Cucy is SECOND TO NONE!!!! read more

Cucy Melvin has been doing my hair, cut and color, for these past few years. She gave me a haircut that lasted 8 months and people still said i had such awesome cut, they didn't know it'd been 8 months that i hadnt cut my hair..that's how good of a hair cut she does. She's like a scientist when it comes to color because she knows how to fix someone's bad job, n always gave me what i wanted. She works hard and very kind..with 20 years of experience! Last but not least, She's phenomenal doing hair extension! I wanted much longer hair and my natural hair isn't as thick, so she suggested extensions and i have seen she'd done it on others as well, which gave me the confident to trust her work. She did not disappoint me. I work in a full salon & spa as well, the stylists at my work first saw my longer thicker hair now, were amazed and examined my hair. They all agreed that Cucy's done a fabulous job; she gave me a little hi-lights and did a great job on matching the natural hair to the extensions. She manually colorred it. Thank u for such good work Cucy! read more

This place is the epitome of a great salon. It's in a quiet corner of Fairfax with ample parking. The second I walk in, I can feel myself completely relax -- it has a really laid-back vibe, from the squishy sofas to the eclectic wall hangings to the wine bar. There isn't anyone else in the world I would trust with my hair except Jennifer. I have really long, really thick hair, and she has the extreme skill (and patience!) to deal with it. My highlights look incredibly natural, the layers are bouncy like in shampoo commercials, and my hair is always incredibly shiny and healthier-looking when I walk out the door. I don't always have the time or energy at home to take care of my hair like I really should, but Jennifer always restores it to perfect health. For about ten years I have trusted her suggestions completely, and based on how many compliments I get on my hair, I recommend that you trust her as well. read more

I have found my new hair salon! I had my hair cut somewhere else a few days ago and it was awful! I had to find a place to have my hair fixed and quick. Thank you Yelp...this place is amazing! Jennifer came to my rescue. She was able to comment on what the other stylist had done wrong and knew just what to do to fix it. She did an amazing job...absolutely LOVE my new haircut! She was so easy to talk to. I've never felt so good about a stylist. I will definitely be back. The place was adorable too! The decor was beautiful and everyone I had contact with while I was there was extremely friendly and laid-back. While its a little pricier than I would like, for a great haircut from someone who really knows hair, its totally worth it! read more

Updated review on Studio 61 & Jenifer (Erk) Reed..... I had a baby 3 months ago. Finally decided to get rid of my "Mom Hair" and chop it all off. Jennifer cut off 7 inches of my frizzy fried ends, gave me umbra highlights (so that I can go longer in between colors), and a very sassy bob. I feel like a new woman! I'm getting so many compliments. It's wonderful. I had been feeling so down on myself after having the baby -lack of sleep and just very blah looking. Now I'm back at work and loving my beautiful new do! My three year old even likes it which is a huge compliment coming from a little girl obessed with the movie "Tangled". THANK YOU Jennifer!! read more

Went to see Teresa Pack the other day, my first time at her salon! Amazing atmosphere and the people were super nice and really well put together!!!!! As for the salon it was really comfortable and decorated beautifully and super classy. "I would not expect anything less from her" Teresa cut my extensions that were hanging to my waist. She put angles around my face and long layers. I am extremely happy with the cut, the way she blended my extensions she made them look like it was my own hair. I think she is an amazing artist and I can say there's not to many stylist out here that can compare! Your the best Melissa Harlow read more

There is a god(dess.) And her name is Cucy. This little miracle woman sat me down in her chair, didn't cringe as she observed the trainwreck that a previous stylist had created on my head, and asked me what I was trying to achieve with my hair. Before she started cutting, she said to me, "Now, I know you're trying to grow your hair out but we're going to have to take a little off to shape it in the right direction. Okay?" Hell yes, that's okay! A stylist who listens...amazing. 40 minutes later, I walked out of there with a new cut, a new dose of "Ki-ya!" in my step, and, best of all, a new go-to stylist. read more

I rated this place 5 stars. They have a hair technician, Cuci Melvin, who is absolutely fantastic in every aspect of hair she does. She just did hair extensions for me and it was absolutely phenomenal. I've had so many complements on my hair and how well it blends in with my real hair, etc. She is a wonderful hairdresser and part owner of this establishment. She is very particular about your hair and the design of the hair you want. She gives you exactly what you ask for. If you bring a picture with you, you will end up with that particular hair do. I recommend this place highly and also Cuci read more

I visited Studio 61 for the first time today, but mostly because I will follow my new favorite stylist, Kathleen Peters, wherever she goes! Kathleen is hands-down the best stylist I've ever had. Not only does she do an amazing job with the color, cut and styling of my hair but she's one of the kindest and coolest people I know. Kathleen has also done my mom's hair and she has *very* hard hair to work with - thin, curly and overprocessed. My mom's hair looks better than I've seen it in years now that she's gone to Kathleen. So RUN, don't walk to set up an appointment with Kathleen! read more

Kathleen is absolutely the only person I will let touch my hair. I have been following her for years and she is amazing!!!! I live in Springfield and work in Arlington but I will continue to take the 45 minute out of my way detour for a hair appointment as long as she is there! I have referred all of my friends and my mother to her, they have all been happy with the results. My review is limited to Kathleen because she is the only stylist I have gone to here but I have never seen anyone look unhappy on their way out of the salon regardless of who they went to. read more

Over the years, I have inconsistently been switching around with who styles my hair. The outcomes are usually unpredictable. But I've learned that the only stylist who constantly delivers a great haircut every time is Cucy. Ever since I've figured that out, I don't let anyone touch my hair besides her. She communicates very well with you to find out exactly what you want, so there are no surprises in the end. Overall, going to Studio 61 is a great experience. The staff is very nice and the interior is lovely. They offer you beverages while you wait! :) read more

This place is such a relaxing, conftorble, welcoming enviroment. I came here from Christie-Adams following Teresa Pack and I am so pleased with the new place. Teresa is a FANTASTIC hair stylist and I have been going to her for years. She has experience for over 20 years and she knows all the coloring and cutting techniques. I can always trust her with whatever I want done when i walk in! I have heard great things about each of the stylist's here but I would deffinetly give Teresa Pack a try. She's AWESOME! read more

After watching "hairdresser" on NetFlix with my hubbie the other day, reminding me of the great work I had from the best hairstylist in town at Studio 61, thanks for magical touch and cut that transformed my dull blonde hair to a beautiful Summer breeze!!! Love the new style and what a precise decision they have made and foreseen in me. The products they carry now in studio are unique and very up to date and good for my hair treatment. Will def go there again before the first leave falls!!! read more

Better than Botox! Yup! I came in feeling gray and blah. I was frantic, had a meeting with a major client the next day and needed to look "hip" and "fresh". I had an appointment with Jennifer Erk. She gave me a fresh layered style, wonderful color with highlights. I looked in the mirror and she had literally knocked 10 years off my appearance. The new cut opened my face up, the color brightened my complexion. WOW! Try Studio 61...ask for Jen. These stylists rock... read more

I have been using Jennifer Reed for years, and since relocating out of state, still use every opportunity to schedule an apppointment with Jennifer when I return to visit my daughter. She listens to how I want my hair styled, always has spot-on suggestions, the color is perfect, and the cut is amazing. The stylists in my "new"home simply can't match the professionalism of Ms. Reed. I would highly recommend her. read more

Finally, a salon that knows what they are doing! I have tried a lot of other salons in the area, but stopped looking when I found Cucy! She knew exactly how I want it colored and cut from the very first visit. The person that recommended her to me couldn't stop raving either! She is not just a fantastic stylist, but a very sweet person that treats you as a friend not just a customer. read more

I've been a client of Kathleen for years. In fact, it's been over a decade. Anyway, she's always been great. Highly trained professional with a high clientele. Kathleen keeps up with the latest styles/ trends as she occasionally attends training courses at well known beauty academies such as wella and redken. I recommend booking your appointment way in advance. read more

I've been going to Cucy to get my hair cut for many years. I've never been disappointed and she's always kind and happy to see people. I've been through many hair styles with her and she has always done what I asked for. I'm a very picky person when it comes to how I look and I don't let anyone cut my hair except for Cucy. read more
