Valon Salon is my number one place to go! I have been a customer for over 14 years. Love Val the owner, Christine for hair and Ana for facials. Elizabeth gives the most amazing head massages when she shampoos and makes a great cup of coffee. Service is top notch from the moment you walk in and are greeted at the desk to when you check out. Product selection is great and new items are coming in to try. Please go and try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

I have not done my hair for 2 years (Covid, kids, etc.) and was so excited to finally have an appointment somewhere. This was my first time to Valon. Overall, I'm disappointed because the end result is not what I wanted. The stylist who did my hair (not going to name her) was cool, but she didn't seem to be that experienced. She gave no guidance to me about color or cut, and I wanted that! I kept saying, "I'm not really sure..." "What do you think is best?" but she really didn't say much, so I just ended up telling her how my hair has been in the past, but that's not really what I wanted. I wished she could have helped me out more. Then, duing the appointment, I had a bit of a medical emergency (type 1 diabetes - low blood sugar) and was really out of it. No one asked if I was ok. Not their job, but if the client is passing out in your chair, maybe check-in. The next day I called to see if they could fix my hair because I was really not happy with it. They said they could squeeze me in but fix it for full price! TT, the manager, I spoke with had zero empathy and was not trying to help at all. Clearly, money / business is more important than client satisfaction. Not going back and my search for a good salon continues. read more

I've been coming here for about 15 years. Absolutely the highest professionalism in every staff member I've ever encountered. I see Brady or Heather for my cut and color and am always happy. For a fantastic massage, see Esther, and I would only trust my nails to Tara. This place is the cleanest and most up-to-date on new techniques in hair and spa services. The owner invests in her staff and they go to several shows and classes each year. It's a warm, welcoming atmosphere. read more

I enjoyed my first visit to Valon! Kim did my hair and Heather did my makeup for a black tie event. Both ladies were very professional, friendly and took the time to really understand the look that I was wanting. I could not be happier with the look they created and the hair/makeup stayed in place all night long. Valon also has a warm atmosphere from the receptions to all the people I interacted with. You could also tell they have a lot of long term client/stylist relationships. The salon was also clean with a classically pretty design. They were busy, but ran right on time and I had not waiting around. There were two elderly clients and they were treated extra kindly and with a great deal of respect. That was very nice to see. I hope to return again for regular haircuts in the future. read more

My hair dresser Allyssa is amazing! I love this place it's so nice! It's a friendly atmosphere and Allyssa always goes above and beyond to give me exactly what I want with my hair. She's truly a gifted hair dresser! read more

I went here for a Brazilian that I found on Groupon with the fabulous Ana. She was super and cute. She was gentle with the waxing and took her time throughout to make sure that she got all the hair. Plus they gave me a bag of goodies when I left bc it was my first time visiting. read more

Ana was a pleasure to work with . Highly recommend her! Plus the atmosphere was so friendly, I loved it! Already made my second appointment

An overall OK experience at Valon. I came in, had to ask to check in, but I was immediately offered a refreshment which was very nice. Be prepared that if you've never been here, you're given a questionnaire to measure expectations of your service (normal), but you're also asked to provide your address, and home, cell and work phone numbers which I found to be a bit excessive for a haircut. Dana was my stylist. I got the vibe that she was a very seasoned stylist, but she wasn't particularly pleasant. I like to chat and have a fun, girly experience when I'm out pampering myself but I just didn't get that. I felt a little uncomfortable. The feel of the salon was a bit cramped and tense. As for my service, I got a wash, cut and stlye -nothing fancy. Dana, despite being borderline despondent, had the most comprehensive consultation I've ever received. She scratched me a lot during the wash. I also felt like she really didn't use the right brush to blow dry my hair. My hair came out very big, fluffy, frizzy and dry but Dana assured me she'd smoothe it out but that didn't happen. I showed her a photo from yelp that was an example of a style completed at the salon, and my hair looked nothing like that at the end. I did communicate that I was unhappy with my look, so Dana recurled some areas of my hair, but she said that I couldn't get get the curl definition I wanted because my layers weren't short enough. I highly disagree. My hair was pretty, but it was too frizzy (she attempted to smoothe it with hairspray which only made it heavy and coarse), and there was very little definition to my curl. For $67! I really feel that I could have achieved the same look at home and saved the money. I also heavily regret tipping my stylist. It wasn't deserved. If you have the cash to drop at Valon, it's an ok place to come, but I wasn't wowed at all with my service. For the price tag, I don't feel I got my money's worth in my service or my experience in the salon. read more

Jason worked 8 hours over 2 days to completely transform my hair color. He was patient, meticulous with detail and the result was better than I ever could have expected. Top notch color service and expertise. read more

I went to Valon Salon as a treat to myself for my birthday. I had a facial, bikini wax and a swedish massage. I wish I could remember names but with it being my first time I can't right now. What I do remember is that everyone was attentive and the services performed were wonderful. I especially loved the facial. So much so that I will be back at the end of the month for another one. read more

Valón Salon ... eh. Pros: I was impressed with the decor. The receptionist was mad inspirational - she had wicked cool hair and makeup! - which shows they know the value of "the storefront" and having your first point of contact represent for the shop. Also, all the receptionists were really friendly, which is always a plus. Cons: So I picked Valón for a special styling because I wanted a specific look and didn't want to trek into the city. Sure, location shouldn't mean anything, right? You don't have to be a city stylist to nail a beaucoup difficult up-do, right? And I had called ahead to Valón to make sure someone there had the skills necessary to pull off the look I was going for, and they had told me yes, so... So when I got there, I was surprised that my stylist didn't seem to have much certitude regarding the 'do I'd requested. She'd done her research, but she wasn't versed. She spent about 20 minutes on my up-do, and it came out horribly. Clearly she didn't know what she was doing (not what I was told!) but plowed forward with a very I-think-I-can attitude - not good enough. I had experimented myself with the style at home several times before packing it in and going to a professional, and my experiments - all of them - came out way better than what this woman did to my hair. I was crushed, but I was too shy/polite to tell her so and/or to ask for a redo, so I just accepted the result. Over the phone I was told the charge for an up-do started at $45, depending on the difficulty of the style. Nothing fancy was done to my head - no curlers, no time under the dryer, nothing - and like I said, I spent maybe 20 minutes (okay, *maybe* 25, including about 10 minutes of "drying time") in her chair, so I was hoping to not spend more than $50. Wrong! The cost was $70. I was shocked. I tipped the stylist $20, as is the custom, so I spent $90 for that?! I was so angry; I could have done a better job myself for free. And if I had known it would have cost that much, I would have just spent the money to get an up-do in some swank salon in town where I (perhaps mistakenly?) assume stylists are more savvy. Really disappointing. When I got home I considered washing the 'do out of my head, it was so bad, and I only didn't do so because I couldn't live with throwing $90 down the drain like that (in hindsight I wish I had). So: clean salon, pretty place, nice people, but I can't say much for the service I got there. Not sure how they are with cutting, dyeing, highlighting, etc., but after my up-do experience, I don't think I'll be going back there to give them a shot at a different service. read more

After my old stylist salon shut down I came here. The salon is clean and professional with a very relaxing atmosphere. The stylists I knew from my old Salon is there so I know they do a good job and they are all very friendly. I have had a facial there as well, and let me say...nice, very nice...except for the offer to wax my brows *pats them* I like them the way they are. But the facial was very relaxing, and they did a very good job in asking me about my skin type and even giving me free samples of soap and lotion to try for my face. read more

Jason Alexander has been my stylist for yearssss...great with natural curly hair and now having to hide the gray and still look natural. Love my new "doo"! read more

I've been going to Dana at Valon Salon for cuts and color for a number of years now - and she is extraordinary. Professional, dedicated, and personable - she is a true artist who stays abreast of things. The shop is pretty - well-managed and staffed with great people. Five Stars for Dana - Five Stars for Valon Salon. Diane C. Centreville, VA read more

I have been a customer for over 5 years. I have had two stylists and both still work there. I have consistantly gotten great results. Friendly atmosphere, wide range of services. read more

I love this place! I've been here 4 times and it's great every time! I've gotten my hair done by Magali. She's very friendly and does a GREAT job - particularly with my highly unruly, super frizzy hair! read more

I love this place. All the staff are very nice and take a good care of the client. The place is clean and nice decor. I have facial treatment today with Ana. She is very nice and give me a good advice for my skin problem. So relaxing. It's great BD treat for me ! read more

My regular hairstylist wasn't able to take me and I was in desperate need of a haircut. I just couldn't take it anymore. I love my hair so I'm really picky about where I go. I decided to try Valon Salon because of the good reviews. I'm glad I did. They were able to take me on very short notice. I had Magali and she was pretty awesome. She was so friendly and when I told her I wanted to get highlights she let me know that I may have needed to bleach my hair. When I told her that I wasn't comfortable with that, she was cool about it. She wasn't pushy at all and really listened to what I wanted. She was nice and chatty. If I didn't love my regular hairstylist so much, this would be my new regular salon. If you're looking for a new along, you should definitely try Valon Salon. read more

I have had a very good experience here. Although it is a bit pricey I am satisfied with the service. Ana DeMattos is wonderful! She is very gentle when it comes to waxing, Recommend! read more

Dana is so wonderful!!!! She is a true artist who keeps abreast of all new techniques--color, cuts, products. I think she's got to be one of the best, if not THE BEST, stylists I've every found. Also, she is gets color. I'm so lucky I found her. The salon also rates 5 stars. Linda A read more

Amy is EXCELLENT. I called Valon early in the morning with a hair emergency (bad dye job) and was desperate for a fix before my company party. They were able to fit me in that morning! Amy was able to fix the color in my hair and make it look GREAT. Everyone at the party loved it. I would recommend this salon and Amy to anyone who is looking for a great stylist or a new salon. So pleased! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Valon. Tara the Manager, Tara the Manicurist, Ester, Mare, and Tina made it a great day of relaxation following an overseas deployment. I will absolutely be a repeat customer after exceptional service I received and highly recommend Valon Salon to anyone in the area. read more

Another amazing haircut by Vickie and a relaxing facial too! Love this place. I highly recommend Valon Salon.

Thanks Dana! Great haircuts for me and my mother. Always a great experience under your skilled hands and scissors! Will keep coming back. Very pleasant front desk staff too! read more

I've been going to another salon for a couple of years now and at times it was difficult to get into my stylist due to her schedule. I asked a friend and she referred me to Valon Salon. I had Jiyon and she was fabulous - she was right on time, consulted with me before doing anything and in the end, I loved my color and loved the cut - she didn't cut off too much; styled it just right (minus the volume I love) but I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I also appreciate the fact that if your primary stylist isn't available when you need an appointment, they encourage you to go to someone else in the salon. That's a powerful message - no wonder there are so many long term employees with this salon. read more

Just went here to get my hair colored all over and trimmed. It was my first time and I was really impressed! I've had horrible experiences with salons, cheap and high end so i was nervous. Recently I had highlightes that turned out orange and chunky along with my thick black hair making it just look crazy. I met up with Cassie and she was nice and told me everything that can be done and how it MAY not be exactly how I want it but close to it. She was real which is great Bc some stylists can just lie because they want your money. I showed her a picture and my hair came out very close to it. I wanted a chocolate brown and she delivered, the only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because the price is kinda high for all that, I paid 160, and I just felt that was a bit expensive for an over all color. Other than that I loved this place! read more

I came to Valon with my bridal party recently. We chose this salon because of its location, its fair prices, and the professionalism of the staff. I have nothing but great things to say about the hair and makeup work - my hairdresser was Amy and she made me look amazing for my special day! My only complaint was that we started a full 40 minutes late even though we got there early. This would not normally be a problem, but as anyone who has ever planned or participated in a wedding knows, every second counts on the big day. We ended up being 15 minutes late for pictures, which was not as bad as I thought it would be, but if we had started on time that day, we would have had plenty of cushion and could have been more relaxed about it all. In spite of our late start, I enjoyed our time there a lot! They let us bring in lunch and beverages, so it made the day more pleasant. I would absolutely recommend this salon to other bridal parties - just be sure to book as far ahead of time as possible and add an extra hour cushion just in case. The salon staff will not only ask for what each person in the party wants for hair, they will also ask what length and texture each person's hair is, so be prepared with that information. In general, ask your party to bring photos of the style and makeup they want - and to be as specific as possible. I also highly recommend doing a trial hair/makeup as the bride - their prices are extremely fair for this service. read more

Okay, I used to go here to get my eyebrows waxed when I was in a hurry, I would get them done by Christina, and now that she's gone - I'm in a pit of despair. Christina was AMAZING with my eyebrows. Irene is pretty good too, she takes her time and listens to what you want, but Christina was my go-to girl. I went with my friend to get his hair done, and the stylist was actually pretty competent, he wanted steps (this was about a year ago - and she was an older woman, so I'm sure she didn't really know what steps were) and she did them pretty perfectly! The staff is really nice and welcoming, don't be fooled by its location, it's definitely a place you'd want to try! read more

Amy is amazing! She is such a sweetheart, and I enjoy Valon Salon very much! The are people very friendly.

The worst part of moving is finding a new hair stylist. I'm very pleased to say I found my new hair home. I came in for a cut and style before attending my birthday party. It was a Saturday and the salon was full. I was greeted with a smile and given a glass of water. Plenty of magazines to choose from. I was even offered a seated shoulder massage as I waited for my appointment. This was a beautiful and clean salon. The shampoo girl gave me an amazing scalp massage. I wanted to get my hair washed again. Heather (my new stylist) was running a little behind schedule from her client before me arriving late. She knew I had a timeline so she and the shampoo girl both blow dried my hair at the same time. I felt like a true VIP and this was just my first visit. A few weeks later I got a signed card from Heather in the mail welcoming me to Centreville. Great customer service. For payment I advise to have cash or you have to run your card as debit and get cash back for tip. I'll be back to see Heather again. read more

Was here few months ago and the stylist was pretty accurate about the haircut or hairstyle that I want also not hesitant if you like the haircut and even try to warn you if it is really good for your appearance. Not soo over the top like any so so claiming a top notch hair salon. Be back in Spring just wish that hair stylist still working there. read more

Love love love this salon! I started coming here 15 years ago and every visit has been great! The owner is wonderful, making sure everything is perfect ........the wash and massage from both Elizabeth and Sam are the best. You will not be disappointed. read more

As my first brazilian wax EVER, Valon set the bar extremely high with its service and staff! Ana made my experience extremely comfortable throughout the process.Someone such as myself (black female) with my particular hair texture, I thought she would have trouble getting those tricky hairs and even worse, I just thought she wouldnt be able to handle it! To my surprise she did EXACTLY that and more! We talked and laughed and before I knew it, it was done! I already have another appt in june:) I can't explain how great the service was but I HIGHLY recommend any and all friends to come here! read more

I love me some Brady!!! I have fine, highlighted hair that not many stylists "get"! Brady really knows how to cut fine hair. She's easy to talk with and the whole experience is great. Thank you Brady!!! read more

I've been going to Valon Salon for years and recommend them to everyone. Most of my friends go there now because they loved my hair and wanted to try them. I have had people stop me on the street to ask me where I get my hair done as well. The spa services are great too! I've had mani, pedi, facials and massage and loved them all. Way to go Valerie and all the wonderful employee's at Valon Salon! read more

Melanie is a great stylist. I've seen her for years and she always does something perfect for me and for the season--even when I don't know what I want. She's friendly and easy to talk to. I've also gotten manicures there and I'm always pleased with the service. I would definitely recommend this salon--especially Melanie--to everyone! read more

First time customer review: I was able to get an appointment the same day and Melanie listened to what I needed, cut off only as much as I asked and did a fabulous job with my hair.
