I am thrilled by how much I love my hair after Tom salvaged it from the crispy damage I had when I arrived! He is truly talented, and I also love him as a person. My hair was so damaged when I walked into Tom&Deniz Hair Studio that I'd been wearing it almost exclusively in ponytails and bobby pins to hide it. I recently went from black hair to brown hair, and it was stripped and processed to an excessive degree (basically, it looked like I'd been electrocuted). The attached "before" picture doesn't do the ravaging of my hair justice. Tom rescued my hair! After seeing the amazing reviews for Tom&Deniz Hair Studio, I decided to give them a try in hopes of getting a trim that would make my hair look less embarrassing. Tom exceeded all of my expectations! He made my hair look like I was ready to be in a Vidal Sassoon advertisement, and that's not an exaggeration. It looks so voluminous and healthy that I look like a different person! Deniz was also awesome-- she helped with highlight and a keratin treatment that brought my hair back to life. The ambiance is welcoming and kind. Long story short, I love Tom and Deniz and this salon. I'll definitely be back soon for some hair coloring before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thank you!!! read more

I moved to Arlington a little over a year ago and was very hesitant about finding a stylist I would be happy with. I am very picky about my hair, and I had been using the same stylist in FL for 7 years before moving to Virginia. I have thick curly hair, and no one seems to listen to what I want, or they do not understand. Therefore, I walk out unhappy and pout for the next few weeks. However, I saw the reviews for this salon as wells as referred by several other friends and thought that I'd give it a try! I needed a cut and color immediately. I told Tom that I wanted long layers with natural looking highlights. He took the time to do the coloring and the cut that turned out gorgeous. He was wonderful! It seems that both Tom and Deniz love what they do and love their clients genuinely. Thank you Tom&Deniz for giving me even better than I asked for and taking the time to make sure it ended beyond perfect. I found my forever stylist, and definitely will recommend anyone who wants a forever stylist. The price is very reasonable! Worth every penny!! Give them a try! You will be happy you did! read more

I have been going to Tom Cakirca for several years and he's the best colorist and blow dry artist i've ever had in New York, London, Paris or Washington, DC. He has over 30 years of experience in Istanbul, Manhattan, Beverly Hills, and Washington DC but this is the first time he has his own salon (he formerly was at Hair Vogue in Arlington). Tom worked with the famous Frederic Fekkai for 20 years in his salons in Manhattan and Beverly Hills. Tom's charming wife, Deniz, is a make-up artist and hair stylist for Turkish television. This is a VERY reasonably-priced unisex salon for all ages. They do coloring, highlights, cuts, blowouts (including Brazilian). One thing that I love is that he has many whole family clients and he has watched a lot of children grow up! The salon, in the space formerly occupied by La Maison Gifts is lovely, calm and beautifully decorated, with every convenience for customers. Tom and Deniz make you feel like the most important client in the world. That is why they have so many clients that are devoted to them, not just professionally! read more

Deniz is an absolutely amazing hairstylist. Her attention to detail is incredible. I received so many compliments on my hair since it was done. I cannot thank Deniz enough. Not only is she talented but also such a dream to work with. She put me at ease after 60 day of self-isolation due to Covid-19 with unmanageable and terrible looking hair. Her husband Tom is a phenomenal job as well. He is very professional and made my 14 year old daughter and my husband feel so comfortable. He did the most perfect highlight/single process technique to blend her existing grown-out and severely damaged blonde balayage. Her hair cut is incredible, and the layers are on point. My husband has the most stylish hair cut ever. We could not be happier as a family. Thank you for a wonderful experience Tom and Deniz! And the best customer service ever! It's a super modern salon with extreme details to implemented safety precautions for Covid-19. We scheduled our next visit as a family already. Cannot wait to visit you two again. Looking forward to it. read more

Tom and Deniz are the NOVA #1 hair duo in my book. They work together on each client and will follow your requests. I just show up and leave it to them. Tom will adjust color and highlights for the season. His cuts are timeless and professional. Deniz styles hair with a series of hairbrushes twirled on your head for a fabulous look. Recently I brought my daughter in for a cut and Tom insisted restyling my hair. He showed my how to achieve a smooth look and now I receive compliments all the time. Their new shop (which they remodled on their own) is adorable and a much needed reasonable sanctuary in Arlington. Just let Tom and Deniz know if you have to be somewhere otherwise they will spoil you for a few hours. read more

I was lucky enough to call and get an appointment with Tom&Deniz that same day. I absolutely loved my experience here. Tom gave me his professional advice and told me exactly what he was going to do to get the brassiness out of my hair. He was extremely detailed and thorough with both my color and cut. In addition, both he and Deniz were extremely polite and friendly and made sure I was comfortable and taken care of while I was there. I will definitely be going back in a couple months! See you soon Tom and Deniz! Check them out at @tomdenizhairstudio on Instagram to see their work! read more

This place is amazing! Tom and Deniz do such an incredible job of making their clients feel comfortable and at home. They are both so hospitable and the service is wonderful. You really feel so special when you walk out of there. I have had my hair cut by Tom for the last 6 years and he is the only person that I will allow to cut my hair. My hair is always shiny and feels so healthy when I leave there. They now cut everyone in my family's hair. If you are thinking of trying a new place, don't hesitate, you won't be sorry! read more

I walked into Tom and Deniz's salon and knew I had found a special place. They greeted me like family (having never met them before!) and took great care of me. Tom was great at recommending what would look best with my skin tone, eye color and face shape. I was overwhelmed with the result! My color is beautiful and very natural and the cut is the best I've ever had. Even my husband noticed :) I immediately texted my friends with their contact info and recommended they visit. You will not be disappointed! read more

Have been going to Tom&Deniz for a little over a year now and I highly recommend Tom. If you want a good professional hair cut and then some more, come no further then here. Tom and Deniz are very nice and very professional. My hair came out the exact way I wanted it to. I even listened to some suggestions that were given and loved the outcome! Best hair cutting experience I've ever had and will continue to come back.They are extremely considerate with appointment flexibility. read more

Tom & Deniz are awesome! Deniz did full highlights for me on Friday, and in the days since I've gotten so many compliments on my hair. She did an incredible job of brightening up my hair while still making the color look natural. I walked in only knowing that I wanted highlights, and Tom immediately knew what shade of blonde would look best with my complexion and eyes. Tom & Deniz make you feel so welcome and like they've known you forever. I won't trust my hair to anyone else! read more

Tom & Deniz are amazing. I went to the best (expensive) salons in Georgetown and McLean for too many years before I was lucky enough to find Tom 6 years ago. He does far superior color, highlights, haircut and blow dry - the whole package. On top of that, Tom and Deniz are so welcoming and warm. They have created a wonderful community where everyone is treated with kindness and love. They treat my 3 children like treasured family members. I am a client for life! read more

Tom is awesome and does a darn good job. My hair was terrible after I was away traveling for a long time and he gave me the best cut I've ever had. When I was leaving, I found out they had closed down the shop early that afternoon, but because I had called, they didn't want to turn me down and scheduled me for the same day! Wow! That's what I call a true customer-oriented business. Can't wait to go there again next month! read more

OH MY THE DUO IS AMAZING!!!! I came in with a horrendous highlight job done by another salon in the area and Deniz knew exactly how to fix my ashy look! She gave me beautiful blonde highlights and Tom gave me the best haircut I've ever had!! From the moment I walked in, Tom & Deniz treated me like they'd know me forever! They radiate pure joy and hospitality. I found my new salon of choice. I'll be back soon! read more

Deniz and her husband Tom are wonderful. This is the place to get your hair done. Deniz is fantastic with coloring. They make you feel like you are at home when you go to their salon. The whole family go there. We have been following them around and this new salon just reflects their style and personality. read more

I have been getting my hair cut with Tom (at his current location and his former location) for over four years now. I would not go anywhere else. He does a super job! So happy that he and Deniz (his wife and colorist) now own their own salon in Arlington. read more
