    Day THREE
    Shayela H.

    Got a blowout from Ty on my first visit to this location. It lasted through that (Saturday) night's wedding, volunteering with animals the next morning, sitting by the pool, work on Monday and Tuesday... All in 90 degree weather. I straightened one or two strands at home and dry shampooed to keep it nice, and maybe I should have washed it earlier and I'm gross, but it just looked too good! The trim did a lot to fix my dead ends and lack of layers. Edit- I have naturally wavy/curly hair.

    Salon visit #1

    I had visited a salon for balayage and was not happy with the results. I immediately reached out to Angel! if you keep scrolling or follow her IG: hairbyangel17 you'll see why! She is so sweet, communicates well, and very talented. Her passion shows through her work. She was not going to let me leave unhappy, so a big thank you Angel!!!

    This past week I went in for a hair cut. The stylist asked what I wanted showed him a picture and asked him to cut it just to my shoulders. He suggested we not do that because of my face shape so I agreed. He asked about my bags I said I was growing them out he said good Because you have a small forehead. He then cuts my hair and I could see he was struggling to style it. He curled it. Then asked do you want me to break the curls up or do you just want me to leave them. He told me to go ahead and play with my hair so I did and kinda got it looking less Shirley temple. He said oh I like how you styled it better than what I did. So I left feeling okay about it. But You really couldn't see too much of the layers when I left the salon from now curled it was but it looked okay. When I got home I decided I wanted to see how My hair would looked straighten. Well that's when I noticed my layers..... awful. I reached out to the salon and they're first suggestion was I come back and try and let the same stylist try and fix it. Which meant I would need to go shorter. The next suggestion was for me to come In and let a stylist show me how to style my hair.

    I am so happy with how my hair turned out! I had a cut and blow dry by Ty. He was personable and full of knowledge! He was able to take what I had in mind, and make it a reality!He made sure that I was happy with the progress of the cut each step of the way. I really appreciated that! I'll absolutely be returning for my next hair cut!

    Bangs haircut

    First, I know very well that bangs can got either way and they are not for everyone. Which is why prior to this haircut I tried a shorter look to see how it would look. The stylist (Chelsea or whatever her name was) was clearly not comfortable with doing the haircut. If bangs are not your strong suit then just say so. She kept making faces while cutting my hair, like she wasn't happy with how it looked which gave me major anxiety. I specifically said I didn't want a straight line. And the overall experience was just awkward. Like every single person who looked at me walking out of that salon new how bad they looked. Still, charged 55 bucks and have a nice day ma'am.

    1 week before my cut

    Warning, If you have curly hair 3a-4c stay away from this salon. I wanted to get a hair cut a trim. To maintain my curls and get rid of any split ends. My Devacurl stylist moved away and with the controversy surrounding Devacurl I wanted to stay away from it. I made an appointment to have a natural curly hair cut, they booked me with the curly hair specialist I believe Jamie. I went with out any product in my hair just cleansed and air dried. He started cutting dry randomly then went on for a wash to finish the cut. After washing and treating my hair with deep conditioner to dry my hair he used paper towel( cause they don't have a single microfiber towel in the salon ). Then he resumed cutting using a fine tooth comb after doing a bit he started randomly twisting my hair and cutting it with out combing or anything. I should have stopped it when I started feeling uncomfortable with his random method but I convinced myself he must know what he is doing, he is changing his method as he gets better idea of my hair. After doing half,his next appointment arrived, he started rushing. His colleague asked if she can help take care of the other lady, he told her to help with rinsing my hair but she gave him a look I think to say finish what you've started. He finished cutting then rinse my hair and start styling omg he was terrible didn't know what he was doing. I ask him I will do it myself try to work the product through my hair to make it at least presentable till I get home. He asked me to sit under the drier. He sat his next client, talk a little with her and handed her to his colleague and came back like after 5 minutes. He took me to his station and start applying finishing product then he said I'm done. By then I have given up ... just wanted to go home and fix my hair. Thanked him paid (no tip for him) then left. After I got home I tried to style my hair it was just a disaster. The cut was short uneven and random. My layers have disappeared the hair in my crown is longer than my back. It was a complete mess. Called the salon to talk to the manager. The manager Carley listen to my complaint, she was really understanding and professional. She offered to get me a free cut to fixed the mess. I refused, cause the salon is clearly not equipped for natural curly hair(they don't even have microfiber towel) most importantly a stylist that understand the hair type. So requested a full refund as I need to get a whole new cut elsewhere but I didn't want to pay again. She agreed and refunded my full payment. See the before and after picture for yourself.

    After living the area for so long, I have not found a hair stylist i like personally. And i…read morefinally decided to give this place a try. The studio is located inside Sola (studio 9&11). As I am very picky with my hair and have high expectation. John makes recommendation based on hair type and suggests what's best for each individual. He's very detailed and client oriented. I went in for an ombre and a haircut. He explains every step to me of the process. Unlike some salon, they just do it without explaining. And this studio is clean and neat. John works by himself at the studio, I definitely recommend making appointment in advance and he's very good at responding. This is one of those hidden gems in the area you don't know until you go check it out yourself. The price is very reasonable too.

I've lived in Japan and has high standard for haircuts - John is by far the best one I've had in DC metro area with reasonable pricing. His new personal studio looks so nice and clean. It's a perfect spot especially if you don't like the crowded and noisy big salons. John is especially great at cuts and layers. I usually either take his recommendation or describe/show him pictures of what I'm in the mood for. I recommend making an appointment ahead of time and he's really good at responding. When you enter the the Sola Salon building, turn right and keep walking until you see his sign.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. I deliberately waited several days before writing this review…read morebecause I wanted to cool down, get used to the haircut, and try styling it several different ways before deciding how I felt. Unfortunately, I am just as upset now as I was when I left. I had been growing my hair for FOUR YEARS, and I could not have been clearer with Jack about what I wanted. I showed him multiple photos, explained exactly what I liked about them, and repeatedly told him that preserving my length was extremely important to me. Looking back, the first red flag should have been that he barely looked at my reference photos for more than a couple of seconds before saying, essentially, "Yeah, yeah, I know what you want." Apparently, he did not. I asked for long layers and a few soft, face-framing pieces while keeping my length. Instead, Jack proceeded to cut and cut and cut. I repeatedly expressed concern about how much hair he was taking off, and each time he reassured me, "These are just layers. I'm not touching your length." Technically, I suppose he can claim that he "kept the length" because he left one thin, long section at the very bottom. But the overwhelming majority of my hair is now significantly shorter. From the back, the remaining length comes down into a thin V. From the front, instead of the subtle face-framing pieces I specifically requested, the bulk of my hair looks almost like a bob with a few long pieces hanging underneath it. That is not what I asked for. It is not remotely what the reference photos showed. What bothered me almost as much as the haircut itself was that he could clearly tell I was unhappy, yet instead of acknowledging that the cut was dramatically different from what I had requested, he kept reassuring me about how "healthy" and "sexy" it looked and insisting that he had kept my length. Whether he thought the haircut looked good was completely beside the point. It wasn't the haircut I asked for. I am extremely nonconfrontational, so unfortunately I didn't advocate for myself as strongly as I wish I had in the chair. I paid, even tipped him, went home, and cried. When my husband and friend saw my hair, their immediate reactions were essentially, "Oh my God, what did he do?" But perhaps the most unbelievable moment came near the end of the haircut, when Jack asked me whether I wear my hair straight very often. He then told me that the haircut he was giving me wouldn't look as good blown out and was better suited to wearing my hair naturally. Excuse me? That is a conversation you have with a client BEFORE you cut off years of hair growth, not when you're almost finished. If a haircut is going to limit how I can wear my hair, I should be told that beforehand so I can decide whether I want that haircut. To make matters worse, after this happened I spoke to a friend who told me she had gone to Jack last year and had a remarkably similar experience--she felt that he kept trying to take her hair much shorter than she wanted as well. A stylist can absolutely have professional opinions and make recommendations. But ultimately, it is the client's hair. If someone repeatedly tells you that keeping their length is their highest priority and brings photographs showing exactly what they want, you don't get to disregard that because you personally think another haircut would look better. I went in expecting a trim, long layers, and subtle face framing. I walked out having lost years of growth and with a haircut I specifically did not ask for. I genuinely think I would have been better off giving myself a trim with kitchen scissors. Now I get to spend the next several years growing my hair back to where it was. Needless to say, I will never return, and I absolutely would not recommend Jack--especially to anyone with long hair who is particular about preserving their length.
