I had such a great experience with Karri at Tulip Salon. From the moment I walked in, everything was professional, polite, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere was calm, beautiful, and really pleasant -- it's clear a lot of care goes into the space, and I understand the salon is under new management. Karri took the time to talk with me in detail about the change I wanted to make, what it would involve both now and in the future, and she clearly explained pricing beforehand, which I really appreciated. I felt fully informed and comfortable the entire time. She also gave me a wonderful haircut even though I hadn't originally scheduled that service, and the lowlights are beautiful -- natural, dimensional, and exactly what I was hoping for. I've been to many stylists at Tulip over the years and have never been disappointed, and this experience was no exception. From greeting, to consultation, to scheduling my next appointment, everything was thoughtful, professional, and kind. I left feeling confident, heard, and very happy with my hair. I highly recommend Karri and Tulip Salon read more

I love my monthly hair appointment with Amber. She is skilled at what she does, she is kind, thoughtful and the salon is beautiful and relaxing. You can tell that she really loves what she does. read more

I got hair color and a haircut. My hair looks great, and it's not very expensive for a touch up and haircut and a deep conditioning treatment. read more

I was waiting for my sister to get her hair done and it took 3 hours. she did not have long hair and was only dying her hair. I watch the stylist go as slow as possible. they don't respect your time. I watch another stylist do the same for someone else and she started way after my sister and was gone about 45 minutes before my sister was even done. read more

Took my child to the salon today for a haircut, the look was completely on them (my child) to decide, while I stepped out to run to the store. When I came back, my child was sitting in the waiting chairs "done" with soaking wet hair. It was cut, sure, however the stylist states she wouldn't provide a full service as my child (afab) wanted a masculine haircut, and it was against her beliefs, as well as stating my child's hair was "too thick." I did receive a discount on the cut, however I am disappointed and dissatisfied. My child did receive what they wanted, but at the cost of being disrespected. I cannot speak on the rest of the staff, nor do I know the name of my child's specific stylist, but if you are LGBTQ+ or simply a person with thick hair, i don't recommend this salon. Otherwise, the atmosphere was nice, and the salon itself was beautiful. read more

Beware -- If you have gel nails from a nail salon that is NOT Tulip then they will not do your nails. Found that out after arriving. You'd think someone who is licensed would be able to do most services. I've never this experience at any other salon/spa within my entire almost 20yr of military life travels. Waste of my time and my elderly mom's time but that's fine I guess. Now we know to find a new place. read more

I have been coming here since I moved to the area and the salon was in Central Park. I have always had a great experience, and I leave looking much better than when I arrived. Chelsea always does a great job on my highlights, and she is really great to chat with. I highly recommend for hair! read more

Lisa is amazing and the staff is always so polite and professional. It is not the cheapest but the cheaper places have bleached and ruined my hair. Lisa has catered to what my kids and I are looking for but has also made suggestions on different ways the kids may want to style or cut their hair so they can get the results they are looking for. Highly recommend this place. read more

Great atmosphere. Stylist was very nice. Every time I went in for a color touch up, trim and style I never left happy. The color was good but the style was awful. I tried explaining, brought pictures of myself and still i left sad. For what I received the cost was ridiculously high. read more

They made it right. I'm pleased they followed up with me and addressed my concerns. Great highlights. read more

**UPDATE** The owner is a joke. I went in today for them to "fix" my hair and bc I posted on social media they decided to cancel my appt but I was not having it! The owner walked me to the station and never once said sorry about the mess up or miscommunication NOTHING of the sort. Then proceeded to charge me $70 to "fix" my hair!! Lesson learned. Do yourself a favor and look at All the 1 and 2 stars this place has received!! There is a reason I love AVEDA products so I decided to check out their salon. When I called I asked for a higher tiered stylist so I was set up with Kelly. We chatted about highlights and lowlights with my hair and I let her do her thing. After all foils were out in my hair she said she did t need to do low lights bc I had enough of my natural color to come through. All was going well until she pulled off the towel to blow dry my hair and immediately I see ALL my gray hair. So, I said "wait, why do I still see all my grey hair"? She literally said, "did you want that covered". Uuum, yes this is the WHOLE reason I am here. She apologized and said it was her fault for not asking, then said they only had me down for highlight?? So, she says let me see what time I have that I can get you on to fix it, I'm thinking no problem, I'm not too upset at this point since she will make this right. Then she tells me an associate has an appt available tomorrow and it will be cheaper then her prices bc she is a higher level tier. So, I questioned why I would have to pay for someone to fix her mistake? She, said that I would of still paid for that if she had done it today but would cost more. So, after getting upset saying I think that's crap they decided to call a manager and said manager told them to give me 20% off tomorrow (which will be another 70$ plus new tip bc it's another girl. So, with tip today was 350 then tomorrow expected to pay another $70. Such bad business. Hopefully, I can save someone for another nightmare. read more

Very excited to go to an Aveda salon and spa. Nice ambiance but the stylists are not very skilled. Went to the firat one and got a Jr stylist as I really needed a cut. Brought a pic so she can model the style. She struggled her way through layering and framing the face. Tried a seasoned stylist the second time. My hair cut was so bad i came home and my husband didnt even know what to say because the cut was so bad. I brought a picture to help guide the style and cut. The layers were uneven. She layered my bangs so short they wont stay down without gel. It was a blunt cut vs layers and length. Had to go to another salon to fix the damage. Oh and that cut was over $100. If you are a new client looking for a skilled high quality aveda salon with talented stylists, this is not it. Would not recommend and I am never going back. read more

Place is nice and has great ambience, but you go for the Aveda experience and I didn't get that. What I did get, new brows I didn't ask for in a shape I don't like because there was no consultation before wax; a lackluster facial with no shoulder massage just rubbing (what happened to the aroma therapy adventure?); and a mani pedi that only lasted as long as I walked out the door, again with a lackluster leg and foot massage. I get a better experience at the local nail salon for less. For someone who only goes to Aveda salons for facials, this was subpar. I won't be back. read more

Terrible service. The owner is a very angry person. I had a situation that I wanted to discuss with her and she treated me very bad. Poor customer service. I did some research and this is not an isolated episode. This has happened to other people as well. read more

Becca is amazing! I've been to her 3 times now and every time it's been great. She always listens to what I want and recommends the right styling and cut for my hair type. Curly hair is notorious for being difficult to cut as it springs back. She has always done it perfectly. I've gotten bangs and layers and every time I feel great and look amazing. Seriously can't recommend Becca enough. read more

I booked an appointment for a partial highlight and a cut with Tami. Let me just say, Tami gave and out of this world consultation. She was personable, professional and she listened. She noticed the breakage, new growth and damage. Because she asked the right questions, paid attention and did her due diligence she learned what type of shampoo I was using. Just so everyone knows, it's not something you would find in a grocery store or target. I really thought I had a good one since I was paying good money for it. However I was really unaware of what it was doing to my hair, especially since it was recommend by another stylist I associated with this salon. Tami suggested doing a test strip on my hair since she has heard of people's hair melting when they were getting their hair done. Thank the lord she did, because I probably would have walked out of there close to being bald. Tami suggested that I have a protein treatment and to go ahead with the haircut. I had her cut more than I had planned, but I would rather have it look as healthy as possible. I do have another appointment setup in a few weeks. We will then assess my hair and determine if the highlights are a go! I cannot even begin to recommend her enough.i am beyond happy that I found her. This was my first time to the salon. She recommended a new shampoo and conditioner to help heal my hair. read more

I showed the stylist four pictures of what I wanted, saying I understood that the hairstyles in them are different, but I would like something like them. The conversation ended with me deciding that I wanted the cut that the blond in the sunglasses has. I've attached two pictures of the result which was blunt, uneven, and inconsistent layers. Some areas had no layers. This is the second time I've tried this salon (because Aveda salons and spas--of which I've worked at two--are supposed to provide the highest quality). Alas, I will not be returning, nor asking for a refund or fix since, as reading the owner's responses to Google reviews has proven, it would be a fruitless task. I'm just not going to return, and will share this review everywhere I can. Shame on this owner for the blight she's put on the Aveda reputation. For privacy reasons, no, my real name is not Anne Darling, and I'll not share the name of the stylist either for the same reason. But for the owner's benefit, her name starts with a K and my appointment (which started 15 minutes late) was for 1:15 on 12.20.2022. Also, not allowing stylist to have anti-fatigue mats in order to preserve an arbitrary and false esthetic is despicable. It doesn't matter that there are other industries that require prolonged standing that cannot provide anti-fatigue mats. The fact that you can provide them but don't shows a flagrant disregard, and ultimately a disrespect, for your stylists. No wonder you're also disrespectful to unsatisfied customers as well. Shame on you. Don't point to awards. Those are damn near meaningless--obviously. read more

See all

It has a new name... The staff was very friendly and outgoing. We really liked Jennifer and Ann The salon is clean and well lit and smells good We are all very happy with our pedicures. The place was very busy which speaks to its popularity. You will not be disappointed here read more

This place is overpriced and takes weeks to get an appointment. I waited six weeks for a Saturday appointment and the manager push a disgruntled client in the middle of my appointment. I can understand a hair cut but a highlight issue. I was pushed on the hair washer when the stylist usually does everything. I complained to the Manager and she said I wasn't slighted in anyway. She did offer to charge me more for the stylist to do what every other client receives. $200 later I did feel like number not a client. I have going here for years but No More. My suggestion is find a salon that treats you like your more than a $ sign. read more

I recently had an appointment to retouch my roots and am very disappointed with the outcome. The appointment lasted nearly 4 hours and resulted in patchy roots as well as a gray tint in my very blonde hair. The stylist was very kind and acknowledged her mistake and cut my hair for free. However, I would advise light blondes to steer clear. read more

I had my first appointment to see Tami this morning after deciding I wanted to find a closer salon and looks like I made a great choice! I went in for a haircut, after not having one since last December! She was very kind, personable, and repeatedly made sure I was happy with the progress. She did a wonderful job with my hair and I will gladly be making my next appointment with her. The interior of the salon is beautiful and the ladies at check in/out were also wonderful. Great experience and would highly recommend. read more

I called up to make an appointment and they wanted me to pay for half the services up front!!!! I don't think so!!!!! I have NEVER in my life been asked to pay for a haircut and color before services are rendered!!!!! Like big red flag guys!!!!!! I don't mind them taking my CC and charging me a no show, but to prepay for services???? HELL NO!!! Stay away!!!!!! read more

Been going to James at this salon for over a year and have never had a bad haircut. The staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome. Love going here. It is very relaxing. Thank you James. read more

Probably the worst hair cut I ever received. I went in for a "fix" still looks terrible. I didn't know a simple bob was sooo hard. I will probably never go back and I will warn people against going there. I can't believe they let me walk out looking like this. You could tell that others thought it was a bad cut but didn't say anything. I'm soooo disappointed and feel so ugly!!! It's uneven and so choppy. read more

From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Today is my little girl's 5th birthday. I know Tulip does not do kids cuts on the regular, nor are they the place to have kids around regularly, but this was my daughter's first salon experience and I wanted her to start out on the right foot with the best professionals and products. Sure, I could have taken her to a kid's salon that looked appealing to kids, but she would have never walked out of her appointment with something she will remember forever. Confidence and value. From the moment we walked through the door, my daughter was never treated less than for being a child. Her Stylist, Bea, made sure she kept her feeling valued and important, always engaging in active conversation on her level, while providing outstanding, professional service, never skipping a single step that an adult would experience. My daughter smiled from ear to ear the entire time. She will remember from this experience how self care should feel. Thank you Bea, for not just giving my daughter a hair cut on her birthday, but a feeling so important that words alone can't describe. We will remember this forever. read more

LOVED IT! I got 6" chopped off my hair! The salon is clean and the workers are all very friendly and welcoming. I was a new customer and got $20 off my first service, which I love! Afterward, they give other coupons for future visits. I wouldn't have changed anything and I`ll definitely be coming back! read more

I moved to the Fxbg area 2 and half years ago and needed to find a salon to get my hair done. I read reviews and decided to give Tulip a try. Nadia has been my hair stylist ever since and I have been pleased with every visit. She always knows what will look good on me and is very talented. I also love that the salon uses Aveda products to ensure clean and safe products come in contact with your skin and hair. Very relaxing ambiance and a great place to get pampered. Highly recommend this salon and my stylist, Nadia. read more

Brittany did a wonderful job with my hair, went in for cut/highlights and style. It had been. Long time and I came out feeling like a million bucks and so much more like myself! Highly recommend her! read more

So glad I went to Tulip Salon and booked an appointment with Danielle! Wanted to get a bob cut, but was really nervous in finding the right person because my hair is thick and coarse. After speaking to Danielle and letting her know what I had in mind, she made it happen. Love love love my bob cut! I'll be going back to her. The salon is also very clean and the reception desk was very friendly. read more

If you're into being treated like a number or enjoy being disrespected, please come to Tulip. My wife had several run-ins with the "Manger/Owner" Priscilla saw fit to insinuate my wife lied about the price quote for our daughter's appointment. Then she called me rude (and hung up on me despite my remaining calm and refraining from yelling/cussing at her) for calling to voice my concern. 2 hours later, after the situation finally sunk in (after my wife explained for a third time what happened), the light came on and she acquiesced to the original price quote... only to take it out on her brand new employee by docking *her* pay! If you want a good Aveda experience, please take the extra time to head up to Woodbridge (or further)... unless the management has recently gone through some customer service training. read more

Some people, Chelsea, shouldn't be allowed to touch a pair of scissors. I spent 6-months growing my hair out, getting some length after wearing it short for several years. I paid for a hair cut with a "senior" stylist but the job I got looks like it was done by a kindergartener with a pair of blunt scissors. She chopped it up and it's now shorter than before I started growing it out. It looks nothing like what I asked them to do. I even provided pictures so there was no doubt what I was looking for. I'm in tears right now!! I'll drive back to my old salon in Fairfax before I go back to this salon. read more

Megan you were awesome and so sweet! Thank you for the birthday high-lights and hair cut. Never been treated so well at a salon! Well worth the cost. read more

On Monday, December 2nd, I came to this salon for the first time. I showed the stylist, Nadia (who was one of the more expensive ones), a picture of a light blonde color. I got back a more silver color with pops of purple. This took her (maybe) an hour to do, which I have since learned dyeing your hair in a salon takes on average of 2-4 hours. She cut corners by not leaving the lightener on long enough and not using the correct color compliment on my more brassy tones. The next day I woke up and noticed bits of orange in my hair and around the sides of my face, I called and got another appointment to fix it, I walked in and was fed lies straight to my face about how it "was my contour" that "stained" my hair. I wasn't sold on that idea as I wasn't wearing contour the few days I had waited to go back to the salon, and don't contour the back of my head. I didn't question it though as she was fixing my hair for free, only it never got fixed. All she did was tone my hair, it looked good for a few hours and that was it. The next morning I still had strips of purple, and orange. I tried to scrub the obviously orange parts of my hair with the blue shampoo (Nadia recommended) to get rid of the orange, unfortently due to Nadias advice to really scrub everywhere with the blue shampoo and let it sit for "longer than 5 minutes" led to the blue sticking to parts of my hair. At this point I went to the salon to correct a mistake made by Nadia that was not corrected, but made worst from her advice. Having put this as a bad experience at a new hair salon, I brushed it off and found a different. Then as I shared my experience with a stylist at Salon 730, she was shocked at how they ran their business and treated their customers. She explained to me that a professional stylist knows how to correctly color hair, uses the color wheel to find contrasting colors to take out the orange, purple, blue, etc. They made me realize that Nadia belittled me, insulted my intellegence by saying it was my fault my hair was orange because of my (nonexistent) contour. She did not own up to her mistakes, instead she disrespected me and said it was my fault. She clearly cut corner as the appointment but would not own up to it. She used an invalid and illegitimate excuse. Because Nadia cut corners and left me with multiple different colors in my hair, I had to get it color corrected, which took 6 hours. Thankfully the stylist at Salon 730 know what they're doing. They also understand that everyone makes mistakes, it's who owns up to them that makes them genuine and respectful.

The best hair salon in town! Becca has been coloring my hair for years now and I couldn't be happier. The facials and massages from Angela are something from heaven. The prices are just right for the services you get. Parking is free and so is wifi. read more

Danielle is such a great stylist! She has done my hair since she started and her skills have gotten better and better every year. This salon is gorgeous and everyone who works there is so welcoming and accommodating. I always leave feeling so relaxed, happy, and confident! Thank you Danielle for always being awesome! read more

I have lived in Virginia for about 2 years now and I found James who is not only an amazing stylist but an awesome person. He pays close attention to what I want to do with my hair and has made my hair so strong with scalp and conditioning treatments as it was dry and brittle. I'm very picking with stylist as I am one. So to be able to trust in someone else's skills to take a pair of shears to your hair and not worry about if they are going to take too much off is PRICELESS!! Thank you James as always! read more

I get my nails and hair done here, as well as the occasional facial. All of them have always been great! I'm especially ecstatic that I found a hair stylist I can go back to! I see Alia, and she is WONDERFUL! I'd been seeing a stylist in central park for years, but she's stopped working, and have seen two other stylists before coming across Alia. I have super thick hair (asian hair), that not a lot of people seem to know how to handle. My first cut with Alia was with long hair, and she did a great job! Lots of layers, and oober cool texture. My second cut was a short cut (hacked it all off!). I LOVE IT! Going back to see her again soon =) read more

This salon is near the mall. You can always find parking along the salon. It has nice interior decor and the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is good. You can purchase nice Aveda products. The pricing for service vary depending on the grades of stylist. You get nice aromatic massage with Aveda's oil before your stylist starts working on your hair. read more

Let me say I'm very picky about my hair and stylists. I have been going to aveda salons pretty much my whole life (thanks mom!). Danielle has been doing my hair since we moved here this summer and she continues to amaze me. I'm a busy mom and I sometimes need to get in and out. She is very professional, extremely proficient in her art of hair color and cut, and I walk out of the salon SUPER HAPPY every. single. time. With hair you pay for what you get and I get the best. I receive compliments on my hair daily, especially after she blow dries it straight (which I can wear for over a WEEK, thanks to the aveda dry shampoo!). I can't wait for my next appointment to see my friend Danielle, get pampered a bit (hello neck and hand massages) and walk out of Tulip Salon looking beautiful!!! read more

Great! I am new to the area and I'm super relieved and excited that Tulip Salon & Spa is here. Nadia did an excellent job on my hair (I had a color and cut). She was friendly and professional. She listened to what I was trying to explain about my hair and what I was looking for and I feel like she really made the effort to help me understand her plan and involve me in the whole process. Since this was my first visit that meant a lot! The end result I could not be happier with! Even the blow dry process was fast and looked and felt terrific. Also, the customer service all around at this salon is on point. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The salon is clean and appealing and even though it was busy but didn't seem loud. It really seems like those working here love what they do and where they do it, it's reflected in their attitude and their work from the moment you check in to when you check out. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more
