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.

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 have been a loyal customer of TL Barbershop since spring 2014 and have only stayed because of their commitment to excellent service, and affordability. All the barbers there are incredibly kind, but most importantly, they give excellent hair cuts. They do NOT rush through just to get you in and out of the chair but are always thorough. I just got mine a few days ago, and more than one person has complimented me for it or asked where I got my fresh look in the last two days. Mai or Kim typically cut my hair and both provide exceptional hair cuts because of their experience in the industry. Even when I'm in Mai or Kim's chair, I can see that the customers across from me are always satisfied with the other barbers at TL barbershop. One of my favorite parts of the hair cut is when they do the "finishing touches" at the end: giving me a smooth straight razor finish on the neckline and at the top of the sideburns. Then they will finish by putting on some light aftershave and their veteran hands gently massaging the aftershave into your neck feels so good! The barbers here go out of their way to make sure you are pleased, and if you are not satisfied, they will give you the cut for free. Further, they are generous, and give discounted cuts to all military, fire, and police personnel. They are a dog-friendly atmosphere also, and when Domino is in the house, he'll come right up and snuggle at your feet! read more

My boyfriend has been a customer of TL Barbershop for as long as we can remember! Their appointments are reliable and the cuts are excellent. For old and new customers MAKE SURE YOU'RE GOING TO THE RIGHT LOCATION! They have recently changed locations and a new barbershop has opened in the old place. Don't make the same mistake my boyfriend did. he went to the old location and noticed it looked different, the new shop owners were very vague and ambiguous when my boyfriend asked questions and when he brought up Domino, the cute little dog that usually hangs out in the shop, they got snappy with him! My boyfriend decided not to stay due to the rudeness of the owners and as he was leaving to go home he noticed the real TL Barbershop on the other side of the building! We are both annoyed by the attitude of this new shop but we are relieved to find that our favorite shop had just moved and are still as great as ever. read more

I've been to a bunch of these places that like to call themselves "barbershops" but have always been disappointed when they don't offer shaves. It's even worse when they give you a crappy haircut. This place is great. A haircut is $16 which is a great deal. Its 16 bucks if you go to haircuttery or something. The hair cut is great, but even better is being pampered like a man -- not in a spa/salon way, but in a barber shop way. For $36 you get both, haircut and shave, what a deal! The shop is sharp and clean, and the online reservation system is convenient. I've been twice now, and the experience is as good as it gets. I took my son for his haircut. The barbers I've had are very competent, and good with our son. Their barbers are very friendly too. read more

I just happened to find TL Barbershop. I tried it out 2 times and I am still a happy customer! As far as getting a good haircut around the Washington, DC metro area goes, it's quite cheap ($14 for basic haircut). Over the course of years, I've had a lot of trouble with hair stylists and barbers because they had trouble cutting my wavy hair, but these people can do a good job. I give them 4 stars instead of 5 because they still have room to improve, but they're very good! Definitely recommend to anyone in the Washington, DC metro area. read more

Read the other negative reviews. They are spot on... The service is poor and quality is even worse. There are plenty of smiles in the shop, but be prepared to wear a frown when you leave. Bad haircuts. Bad service. The staff does not listen. They turn you away from the mirror so you cannot give feedback as they cut. They snicker and speak jokingly in Vietnamese to each other if you ask for changes. If you like surprise cuts, it may be your place. Otherwise, choose another barbershop. read more

As soon as I entered, all of the stylists were steering me to go to the one who was not busy - they did not even ask if I wanted to request someone. I didn't want to be rude, so I just went with her. When I told the stylist what I wanted (a shave on the back and sides with a number 1 clipper, blended to the top, a 1/4 inch off the top, and a bit off for the bangs), she said I can't do that because a number 1 is too close to the skin. I should have just got up and left then, but again, I didn't want to be rude. She instead used a number 2 clipper and 3 mins later, she said she was done. I was immediately suspicious, but for some reason still gave her the benefit of the doubt. Because I wasn't going home immediately afterwards, I asked for shampoo. I was led to the sinks to the back and that's went the smell of a fast-food bathroom hit me. I had to hold my nose and squirm around just to avoid getting my head down further into the sink, where I thought the smell was coming from. I get home, and I find that my hair is completely uneven. The shaved left side was longer than the right and the right side wasn't blended evenly to the top - the hair hangs over like a roof. To top it off, the right side of my bangs are longer than the left, so it looks like I have cowlick. I now have to use a lot of pomade just to hide all of the imperfections left by this so call "hair stylist". Be warned - there's a reason why certain hair stylists are constantly busy, and others aren't. Don't let them force you to go to one just because she's not busy.

I've noticed other people in military uniforms going in here for haircuts before, and they have a sign out front that advertises $10 for military haircuts. Normally I get my hair cut near my home on the weekends, but yesterday I was in a hurry to a meeting with an admiral and desperately needed a haircut, so I decided to give Ono a try. I was not disappointed. I walked right in with no appointment. There were two ladies working, but only one had a customer. I sat right down in the other ladies' chair and she got to work. An Air Force LtCol came in and saw the chairs were both occupied, so he talked to the lady who was cutting my hair and told her that he'd be back. The way he talked to her and she recognized him gave me the impression he was a regular, so that boosted my confidence in her abilities. She did a great job cutting my hair. She didn't dilly dally and got the job done fairly quick. But then... any of you military types who have been to the Western Pacific before will remember the haircuts there. I wanted to go get my haircut every day in Okinawa not because my hair grew that fast, but because of the scalp and neck massage they gave you at the end of your haircut. Yep, for $10 here at Ono Salon, they'll cut your hair and give you a warm towel massage on the back of your neck (that's almost worth $10 in and of itself if you ask me!). So if you're in the north end of Crystal City and looking for a place to get your haircut, give Ono Salon a try.

My son had longer, beautiful hair that curled into little ringlets in the back and chunky bangs. It was more of an old-fashioned look, or sometimes looked 70s/80s, but had very much become a signature of his. His bangs were in his eyes and he'd no longer let me trim them, so I took him here after months of seeking recommendations and reading reviews, and trying to find a place that wouldn't just try to clip his hair close to his head because he's a boy. I asked for his bangs to be trimmed and out of his eyes and the back about 1/2 inch shorter. And here we are. I knew she was cutting a lot, but I expected it to at least be a good cut, even if it was shorter than I might have wanted it. These are just a few examples of how it is terribly uneven. It is longer over one ear than another, and there are layers everywhere that just look choppy and are not at all consistent. It looks like the toddler tried to cut his hair himself. The last thing she tried to do was layer his bangs, which is a weird thing to do, and now the top layer sticks up straight and looks ridiculous. It's not just that this isn't what I wanted or isn't close to what his hair used to look like. It is an objectively terrible haircut. Everyone who has seen it thinks it is bad and cannot contain their reactions of sadness and disbelief, which surely is great for his self-esteem. All we can do is let it grow out, but parts of that will take a VERY long time given how short these layers were placed.
