I have been going to see Sharon for 9 years and I have never once been disappointed. Not only is she extremely talented at cutting hair, but she is by far one of the best colorists out there. She is constantly refreshing her technique with training, and her goal is ALWAYS to make you look good. She's honest and can give you literally any hairstyle under the sun. I have never been disappointed, and I can't wait to haVe Sharon do my hair for my wedding! read more

Kambiz is absolutely amazing!! He always captures the vision, is so knowledgeable & an absolute gem. I made the mistake of going to someone else while I was away & paid the price. Luckily Kambiz was able to fix my hair, yet again. Highly recommended!! read more

Great place, and specifically so impressed by Randy. He gave me a fabulous cut, and really paid attention to what I wanted and gave knowledgeable suggestions about what would work for my specific hair type. He gave me a ton of great tips during my haircut as well. Randy really knows his stuff. Highly recommend! read more

Randy has taken my hair from red to black in one sitting, black to silver in one sitting, and he's the only person in DC who I know will give me exactly the cut and color I'm looking for every time--miraculously, without ever damaging my hair! I have a very short cut that I call the'imp' [because it's a pixie but with attitude], which I typically wear spiked, but occasionally prefer to style so that it's a bit softer. Somehow Randy manages to cut it so that I can style it however I feel that day with incredibly minimal effort [like, we're talking 14-year-old-boy-level effort]. He's also always learning new techniques and is great at explaining them to me so that I can riff on them by myself in between touch-ups. In other words, I trust Randy so much with my hair that I trust his ability to help me trust myself with it. Not easy. Whether you know exactly what you want and are extremely wary of stylists taking unsolicited liberties with your hair, or whether you prefer someone who will provide recommendations on cut/color/style, Randy is one of the most versatile and dedicated stylists I've ever had. He'll go out of his way to make sure he has 'your' toner, color, etc., on hand, plus a few backups just in case. [Another bonus: all the other staff are fantastic as well and I've never had to wait more than a couple days for an appointment.] TL;DR: 11/10 would recommend Randy and Studio Salon. read more

Kambi is a hair wizard! I've been coming to him for almost 10 years. He used his magic to turn my natural blond hair to an amazing goldfish color that is SO natural everyone is bonkers about it and people think I'm a natural redhead. I'm loving it! I highly recommend. read more

Moving to a new town it is hard to find a hair stylist you trust. It takes time and money to find someone that gets what you want. I found Randy and would never go anywhere else! I moved again 30 min from the salon and still commute to get my hair done here. read more

Randy Meadows has been cutting my hair so that it would grow (per my instructions) as I thought the longer the better. This last time Randy gently asked my thoughts on shaping it which required a bit of length taken off. I readily agreed and he gave me a haircut that frames my face and makes me look much much younger! Randy's cuts grow out really nicely and I can style my hair easily even weeks after the cut. I did not mention that he is a master colorist as well. read more

I was instantly taken away by this salon. The ones that I have went to before never offered me water or had entertainment screens while you waited under the hair dryer. I haven't gotten my hair done in 2.5 years. This was my first time out the house to enjoy myself in a few months since I have a newborn. My husband was gracious enough to tell me to leave the house and he'll take care of our daughter (he never told me while I was out but apparently for the 5 hours I was gone she was being a nonstop crying and screaming demon lol). So basically, I NEEDED this hair makeover. My hair stylist was Tony and he's an absolute sweetheart! He had such spunk, was so cute in his compliments, and always kept the conversation going (which none of the salons I've been to even tried to have a conversation). I trusted him in giving me something new and he did not disappoint! His styling was so much better, the photo is day 2 of the hair since it was already dark on day 1 read more

Studio Salon & Spa - Tony's styling was better, this is day 2 and I tried to recreate it - Hair Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

First, the front desk people are rude, especially when the price doesn't come out to what you were expecting. The 4-5 times i went here because it was conveniently located to me, they not once gave me what i asked for. I even had pictures to reference. They were very normal hair colors and styles, nothing crazy. Now my hair is damaged so I'm trying wigs and going somewhere new. read more

Kambiz has been cutting my hair for the past 16 years, and I haven't let anyone else give me a haircut since. I have followed Kambiz to three different locations, and always come back to see him for a cut (and occasionally color) no matter where I live. Kambiz did my hair for my wedding, as well as my ENTIRE BRIDAL PARTY. The hairstyle was perfect, and my bridesmaids all looked amazing. Kambiz is extremely talented, as well as intuitive, kind, patient, and generally wonderful. I come visit Kambiz when I come to town even when I'm not getting my hair cut, just to say hi. I cannot recommend Kambiz highly enough. Both of my parents and many of my friends have now been going to Kambiz for years (leaving their long-time stylists in favor of Kambiz). You will not regret it! -Jodie read more

HORRIBLE!!! I came in looking to get subtle layers. I'm left with a three inch disconnect from the hair I have in the front of my face, to the rest of my head. The shampoo was horrible, whoever shampooed me left my back completely drenched. The shampoo's have plastic steps as foot rests very cheap considering how much a haircut is. The place looks very tacky. I'm not sure why the entire salon is one tone of brown, or why there is a thick layer of dust on everything. I will never come here again. read more

Decided to go back to black but wanted purplish red highlights. Randy said bluish purple will look better on my skin tone. I was skeptical if they'll show up much less be dramatic enough. He said, don't worry, I'll add a hint of earthy tones to make it pop. He was right! The purple was unique enough and admit, the subtleness made my skin look amazing! I love it enough I will want it year round... until, as usual, Randy envisions something better for my hair. His instinct on color is impeccable. read more

(Billy's wife writing...) While I can't speak to the hair salon portion, if you need a good manicure, this is your place! Got a same day appointment for a gel manicure. Their only manicurist was booked, but made room for me. Great experience, kind staff. read more

I've had some negative experiences in the past year with various salons but I'm very happy to have found Studio in Shirlington. The atmosphere is relaxing, which is what I need after a hectic day. The lighting is dim and the colors are dark and rich, but there are clever spotlights that allow the stylists to see their clients well. My hair was colored and cut by Tony. He is very friendly and calming, understands design and will also speak French (his native language) if you want. He zeroed in on a beautiful mix of colors for my hair right away. Other colorists have tried different combinations without success. I am trying to let my hair grow, but Tony was able to fine tune my cut so that it is easier for me to style and will grow out gracefully. Thank you for restoring my faith in hair designers! read more

Found this place after doing some research and heard good things about Jamie in his other reviews so I called to book a last minute appointment. Luckily he was available. I was way overdue for a hair appt. Instantly I felt relieved and comfortable with him. He was eager to give me exactly what I had requested and worked with me on finding out the perfect color I had desired. After a long three hours and many services, voila! A great new hairdue. I really wanted to try a rose gold highlight and it could not have turned out better! Thanks Jamie and studio salon, definitely walking out satisfied. read more

I've been going here for a few years and while I love my current stylist, I am starting to think they are just way too expensive. My last few appointments I have been taken aback at how expensive my bill was. This last time I only had my roots touched up and a blow dry and style and it was $115! No cut, no highlights....just my roots and a blow dry and style and it was nothing special. And the stylist did someone else's hair in between my color and blow out when there wasn't really time so I ended up being there extra long. The front desk staff are very nice but the two owners are not very friendly either. I know it must be a tough business to run but they are never friendly and as business owners I would expect more. It seems they are only nice to their customers. I live in the area so it's convenient but I'm going to start to shop around. Also, as others have posted about massage services. This is not the place to get one. They only have one small room for spa services and waxing and the two pedicure chairs are right outside of it. Just not the atmosphere for a massage. read more

Big shout out to Randy Meadows, best stylist in town! Been a client of Randy's for years now and heaven help me if he ever leaves the area!!! He's a genius chemist when it comes to color, and my cut is always personalized and elegant. In fact, again today (having just seen Randy yesterday for a touch up and trim) I was stopped in the grocery store by a total stranger who proceeded to tell me how beautiful my hair looked! Thank you, Randy!!!!! read more

RANDY is my Fairy Godfather. After seeing him, my hair lived happily ever after. See, what had happened was... Once upon a time, there was a young girl who went to Salon Istanbul in Ballston. She asked for ashy, platinum (think Britney Spears "Femme Fetale") blond balayage. She left, however, with streaks of oxidized iron; carelessly painted all over her head as if her stylist had been going through his Abstract Period. The young girl is me, and my hair was Grimm at the beginning of this fairy tale. Everything about the rusty color was wicked, and not in a New England, "Wicked cool!" sort of way. More like, "My evil step sisters cruelly destroyed my dress that my mice and bird friends spent all day fixing so that I could look sexy AF at the Royal Ball" sort of way. Rather than dramatically run out into the backyard of my chateau (more like the courtyard of my apartment complex) weep, and lose faith in my dreams of blond balayage, I went and saw Randy. Randy is enchanting, and his talents are magical. We spent 20 minutes talking about how to transform my tattered locks into exactly what I had originally wanted. With the waive of his magical applicator wand, he bippity-boppity-booed blond balayage into my hair. He neutralized what was left of the brass by using toner. Then, as if he was changing a pumpkin into a stagecoach, he painted on some face framing highlights, and foiled in some low lights. I feel like "Becky with the good hair," only I'll find slay my own Prince Charming. #ROYALBALLREADY #SEXYAF #LONGHAIRDONTCARE If you want to skip right to your happy ending, go and see Randy. He is an expert colorist and stylist. He knows how to work with all hair types and colors, and has mastered the balayage technique. read more

Same day appointment with a stylist didn't happened. They promised me that a 10 year existence stylist will work on my hair it didn't end up that way. 3 different people worked on me, who ever washed my hair (same person that cleans the floors) did a horrible job like he didn't even know how to wash hair ? Seriously now ? People give this place 5 stars I don't see how ? Blow dry was even worse, one thing that makes everything better that I actually left with normal hair color not zebra wow! read more

I don't think 5 stars is enough to convey how good Kambiz is at what he does. He's the best stylist I've ever encountered. This not an exaggeration, but an understatement. read more

Needing a cut and highlights, I followed my stylist, Randy, to Studio Salon and Spa, his new location in Shirlington, VA. I believe It says something when you choose to follow your stylist to a new place. Randy is someone who understands YOU, your hair, and how you wear it outside of the salon chair. Of the growth mindset, he's always learning new techniques, spending countless off hours watching 'subscription' stylist education videos (yes, they exist!). Randy cares as much about his craft as he does about his clients, and this is why I'll follow him anywhere (stay on the East Coast though, Randy!). And oh by the way, every cut and color of mine manages to be the best - ever. Really. read more

I went in for a Deva Curl Cut and left feeling disappointed. It was only after I was in the chair that I realized they do not use Deva Curl Products for a Deva Curl Cut, but they do advertise a Deva Cut on their website. After the stylist deemed my hair to be "too dry" to cut for a dry but he washed my hair, did minor cuts. After that he styled it with non-deva curl products and dried it. Then did a few more cuts with it dry and was surprised I was not enthusiastic about it. My ends still look frayed and need more closer attention. Plus side, everyone was very nice and the facility is lovely. However if you love your curls and use the Deva Curl system take your curls somewhere else. read more

I was very happy with this salon. I have had a cut and partial highlights with Gina twice now, and both times I loved what she did with my thick curly hair. The first time I came in with a coupon, which they honored with no upcharge. The second time I came in they gave me 20% off list prices, which they said was part of the deal with the coupon I had brought in the first time, but I sure didn't know anything about it. Very kind of them to point that out though. I've already referred several friends here. read more

Randy worked his magic again tonight! I followed Randy to Studio Salon from his last salon, and I couldn't be happier - only one other person has touched my hair in the last two years, and trust me, I won't be making that mistake again!

There is no doubt I will be back in his recommended 4 weeks! Thank you so much! read more

This place has really gone downhill, since we lived here a few years ago. Came in for an appointment, barely greeted by receptionist. Receptionist appeared to be unsure of what was happening or just uninterested. Hair still on the floor from the night before, capes just thrown in the chairs where customers sit and the stations were a hot mess. My husband and I had booked appointments together at the same time, so that we could be finished together as we had other errands to run. Needless to say, the other staff member didn't show up for almost 20 minutes past our appointment time. I was finished long before my husband so I just sat and waited while he was getting finished. Never heard an apology for them being late or anything. They may do some great hair but I have to say the lack of customer service and the cleanliness of the salon leaves something to be desired. This is certainly not the quality of service I remember from years ago and certainly not what you would expect from a "high end" salon in the metro area. read more
