I've been stalking Megan D.'s IG page (@hairbymegand) for a while now because she has done some beautiful balayage work on her clients! I decided to go ahead and book an appointment with her since I wanted to go lighter for Spring. At the appointment, I showed Megan the picture of the color I want from her IG page (a caramel brown color). I also explained that my hair has gotten really brassy since I last dyed it red in the Fall. She then suggested to go for a cooler tone to cancel out the brassiness and prevent it from going brassy in the future. We then decided to go with an ashy blonde color, which is pretty popular nowadays. I've always wanted to try something different with my hair so I thought why not! Megan then proceeded to meticulously hand-paint my hair. I liked that she asked if I wanted color on my bangs and checked which way I parted my hair so that she could put more color on that side. I've never gotten asked these questions before but they're really important to how the color will frame your face! At the end of the appointment, she even curled my hair so I can see the different dimensions of the balayage. I was really impressed with how my hair turned out, no more brassiness! I highly recommend Megan if you're looking for some natural-looking balayage for your hair, whether it's your first time or 5th time! read more

Bubbles Salon in Tyson's is my best kept secret. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality you will find, and the new location is your a self-care oasis. I've been coming to this salon for decades now, and several of the original stylists are still here. They've gotten some great staff for the front desk, which for a long time was my only complaint. They recently relocated next to the Paul Mitchell Salon, and they got waaaay better WiFi!!! They're also located directly across from a pretty solid place that does waxing, threading, gel and regular mani-pedis. With the location change, I am doing alllll my maintenance in one stop!! Pictures are worth a thousand words, but the last time I came to her for a cut, Tev was armed and ready with photos of the latest trend she selected specifically for me, to keep my look updated and fabulous. Tev is always fresh and talented with a discerning sense of style. She regularly travels across the country for workshops, events, conventions, etc, either for an award she's won, or a unique opportunity for her to learn a the next fashion forward color techniques... She also doubles as my therapist and BFF, which is exactly what I need my hairstylist to be #selfcare. That being said, I cannot live without my stylist. We've already talked conversationally about retirement, and I'm working on us moving to the same place, so she can do my hair for everrrrrr.... Shoutout to Faery and Trin, who are also amazing and I highly recommend!!! I definitely encourage you to find the therapist who is right for you. I'm confident they will work at Bubbles in Tyson's! read more

This is an updated review: My sister got a balayage done by Megan Dinh and I ended up getting one too after I saw her hair. My sister's hair was the perfect color- she told me that it was exactly what she envisioned in her mind. Megan always consults her clients carefully to make sure that she gives them exactly what they want. She is super thorough with questions and always asks for clarification so that she and her clients are on the same page. I asked for something subtle since its my first time getting a balayage. The result was just what I wanted. Megan explained all the steps to me so that I understand and am informed at all times, which prevents me from freaking out at any point in time. In addition, at the very end, she explained what kind of shampoo I should use and how I should take care of my hair. Best of all, my hair feels soft and amazing! In my experience with Megan, I realized that she is super honest and will guide people to achieving their perfect look. Book an appointment with her today! She will give you amazing results. read more

There are many problems with our visit to Bubbles in Tyson's Corner location. First of all, the reception Leiyanna, who was totally rude during my mother and I walked in. I said to her "Hi, is there a wait for a hair cut?" She said "no, have you been here before? It $45 dollars" I pause for a little, not because it's $45, I always go to the one in Pentagon city, and never was told this bluntly about pricing prior to anything...... then I said "yes, I have." She looked me dead in the eyes "can you speak up, I can't hear you." My volume was fine, I can tell because some customer altready turned their head our way because our conversation was relatively loud. I was a little annoyed at this moment, because I don't think it is ok for someone in service industry to have this much attitude when I did nothing but walked in the door. The conversation went on, she of course pretend she couldn't hear me a couple more times to a point i said to myself that if she does that again, I am gonna just walk out. Then here is second part, our "Stylist" Minoo comes in the play, asked what I mother want, she also pulled out her phone and we picked a mid length boy cut. The pictures attached are her "art". I had to walked in couple if times to translate because my mother don't speak English. When she think she's finished, my mother waived me over, and asked me to tell Minoo the back is too long for the front, she looked like she's from the 70s men who kept their top short and curly but have a long back if you know what I'm trying to say? So I asked Minoo, if she can cut the back a little shorter, since this does not look like the picture we picked out at all, but at least it has to be proportionate. This lady said to us" yeah but I have another customer". EXCUSE ME?! YOU CAN'T LEAVE HALF WAY BECAUSE YOU HAVE ANOTHER CUSTOMER! At this point I really don't think there is any reason for us to give it a try anymore. It's one thing this place does not have a skillful hair dresser, or artist, stylist, it is another thing that they don't have the right attitude for what they were doing. If you don't care about your client, I am sorry, we won't care about you. I went to Bubbles in Pentagon City Mall to fix my mother's hair and did mine at the same time. Nagi was great as always. read more

First of all, they greeted me with a nice dose of anti-middle eastern guy discrimination. Bravo Bubbles! It was all Asian stylists in there except for one geriatric Lebanese man. One look at my hairy suicide bomber face and the receptionist ran to the far corner to the old Lebanese stylist as if to say, "We no want touch grimy desert boy...he's all yours." But that's not the end of it. All I wanted was a neck trim, and this old fool gave me one of the worst neck trims I have ever had. His clippers were not properly cleaned and prepared, and as a result, his blades did a better job of cutting my skin than my hair. It was quite painful. And they charged me $15 for that miserable job they did. Pictures attached. I'd like to shave all of their heads with a dull razor and no water. read more

Bubbles - After they Burning my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I went on the 30th of October to get my hair cut. The receptionist was very pleasant and professional. She gave me great service, checked me in an told me have a seat in the waiting area. When my stylist came i told her she did not need to wash my hair, I had tracks in at the time and the drying process would have taken too long. My stylists name was Trin or Tran and she was pretty good. She sat me in the chair and asked what i wanted she got a few pictures that. We talked about the length throughout the cut and she followed all of my instructions. The problem started at the end of my visit. When i reached the cashier she told me my balance would be $50. I was shocked and asked why my hair cut would be $50. That seems like a ridiculous price for my hair to be cut and nothing else. At my shock the receptionist told me o well the cut usually comes with a shampoo that is why we recommend that people get it. It was not recommended to me this way and i feel i should have had the option to have just an a la carte hair cut rather than be charged for a wash and a blow dry that i did not even get. If you think about it how much is a mans hair cut ? Obviously most have less hair but are they paying $50 for a hair cut ? I have copied in below from Bubbles website their prices: shampoo, cut and blowdry style: $40+ shampoo, cut and blowdry style - highly textured, natural hair: $80+ shampoo, cut and blowdry style - highly textured, relaxed hair: $60+ shampoo, cut and deluxe style (includes iron finish): $50+ Off of this list i received a cut and i am assuming an iron finish. The iron finish was not requested and so if there is a difference in price based upon a step you should let the customer know before hand do not just give them a treatment and then charge them for it. In addition if i did not receive a shampoo and blow dry why am i paying for it ? I would not return to be charged ridiculous prices for services i did not receive. What started out as a great visit did not matter in the end. read more

Hi everyone, this salon is permanently closed. If you are looking for Vanna, please send me a message!

I've gone here multiple times for highlights and haircuts and I would recommend either Kim or Rosa. Rosa Jager is extremely talented hair colorist and really is a delight to have do your hair. I got so many compliments on my hair because of her work! She deserves to be recognized for her magic. read more

Do NOT go here. I asked for a trim, and the stylist proceeded to clip my hair back and cut off ~7 inches in one cut. I asked her to please stop cutting as she proceeded to trim and she did not even acknowledge the request. read more

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced!!! Folks, unless you have a favorite person in here, I'd avoid it at all costs. The few times I went in to get my haircut prior to a drill weekend, they didn't seem to understand that I wanted: 1) A person who could cut Asian hair (it's quite tricky due to it being so coarse). 2) Someone who knows how to give a crew cut yet keep it stylish (think Brad Pitt or George Clooney's hair styles in Oceans Eleven). 3) A stylist who isn't going to push hair products on me when I say 'no' and then ask 30 questions as to what I use, why, and why not try this other crap that I'm selling on a markup? For $30, I'd rather go to Hair Cuttery, get Ash to cut my hair, and take the remaining cash to Auntie Anne's and get a pretzel dog. read more

I guess today, Bubbles is pretty standard when it comes to hair. You will get an appointment pretty quickly and can be confident that you aren't going to have your hair totally destroyed. You may not get the best haircut of your life, but you probably won't walk away with the worst. I must mention here that they kept their word. My haircut is actually pretty decent and I'm not going to complain about it. But here is what happened for my visit to the Bubbles in Tysons Corner. I was greeted in a pretty friendly manner and only waited for about 3min for my appointment. And then the horror began. My stylist was Aki. This was our conversation: "So what would you like me do?" "Well, I really just want a trim, but if you can think of something great to do, I'm up for something interesting." "Highlights." "No, no highlights. I really don't want to put any colour in my hair. What I meant with 'interesting' was a style." "Highlights will give you a totally different style." "Really, no thanks. I really don't want colour." "No colour. Highlights. Yes?" "No... really. No highlights. Can you just trim my hair and give me some layers?" "No highlights? I really recommend them." "Um.... no..." She started cutting my hair. I must say that my hair actually looks decent. Nice layers and a lot of the weight from my very thick hair is gone. But she kept mentioning highlights. I didn't want highlights. I don't like my hair highlighted. I just didn't want them. I don't think I could have made it more clear. I have sensitive skin. Nothing horrible, but when I get scratched, it leaves a mark and welts. It's weird, I know. It goes away after about 30min and looks totally normal again, but when I scratch myself, you can tell because I have welts. Anyway, when she was styling my hair, she ran her fingers through my hair. In those sweeping motions, she kept scratching my forehead with her long nails, over and over. Now you can imagine what my face looked like at the end of that. Running a pointy object along my skin makes me welt, imagine was long fingernails, digging across my forehead would do. Then, when drying my hair, she basically burnt my scalp because she wouldn't move the dryer. I had to move my head. When I stood up to leave, her last words were: "Just remember, I really think you should get highlights!" I couldn't possibly suggest someone go here when I felt like their services were being pushed on me and I was in pain most of the time. I'm giving them 2 stars (and not 1) because the haircut was, in fact, ok. read more

Megan D. is the person to go to! My color has been long due to lighten up and to add on more color since it was grown out. I've always had trouble maintaining my color.. it turns brassy so quick for me i think because my hair is so thick and coarse. A lot of hair stylist have trouble working with my hair cause it's a lot of hair to handle. I went to Megan a couple months ago. Not only did my hair turn out just the way I wanted but she gave me a list of a couple products that would help maintain my color/health and how often I should use it. She also does balayage very well, the color goes on smoothly and doesn't look choppy. I'm def going to come back to her from now on! i don't have many pictures so i'm going to add my snapchat picture haha read more

Bubbles - Ash blonde by Megan D. - Hair Salons Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I seriously was about to give up until I met VANNA. As someone with dark hair, trying to get any sort of blonde is the hardest thing to do. I've been to multiple salons but they all left my hair with orange/brassy tones. Vanna was super knowledgeable and immediately knew what i was talking about. It also helps that she keeps up with current hair trends on Instagram and Pinterest. I was super happy and for once, had hope!! My hair turned out AMAZING and i always get compliments when i go out. I strongly recommend asking for Vanna..males or females because she will make you look BOMB! read more

Bubbles - Thank you Vanna for fixing this disaster!! - Hair Salons Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Don't go here to get your hair styled. It is a fast paced, impersonal salon with stylists who are there to make as much money as possible. They do not really care about your hair. I had a stylist who basically ignored my wishes and gave me an extremely unflattering cut. I had to go to Parlour Salon and work with a real stylist to get it fixed. Please save yourself the trouble and go to a real salon with trained stylists who care about their customers. This typically means avoiding salons in the mall! Lesson learned. read more

I have only been to Bubbles twice, but the most recent time I had such an objectionable experience that I will never be returning. The woman who cut my hair was incredibly rude. Let me start by saying that I have a very low-maintenance hair routine. I generally let it air dry and I don't use a lot of products. I am fine with this, but this woman apparently was not. When she asked me what I usually do with my hair, I told her and she laughed at me in a very deprecating manor. Several times she asked me "do you just not care what you look like at all?" I felt like she was bullying me. After cutting my hair, she began to give me a blow-dry without asking, which I then politely declined. I understand that the stylists make money by selling higher-end services and products, but I had made it very clear that all I wanted was a shampoo and cut. She continued to pressure me repeatedly to get a blow dry, which I kept declining. She then told me that if she didn't blow dry my hair, it wouldn't be cut straight because she was going to cut it more after it was dry. This is not standard practice at all and dry cutting hair is bad for your hair! I could not believe that she was trying to bully me into buying services I didn't want by threatening me. Furthermore, I asked for my layers to be evened out. I was so flustered by this woman that I didn't notice until I had gotten home that she had not layered my hair in the slightest, she had cut it straight across the back! Having a stylist offer extra services and products once or twice is fine, but this woman crossed the line. I felt bullied and insulted and I will never give Bubbles my business again. read more

Bubbles - Go to Megan! I always go to her for haircuts and coloring! - Hair Salons Near Me - McLean, Virginia

I was brought here by a girl friend of mine while I was visiting my boyfriend over spring break...It was very hard to get an appointment because the salon was FILLED and BOOKED (so you would THINK it's very good because of its popularity).... My cut was so awful! I wanted shorter hair but the stylist was very set on doing what she thought was going to be "very cute!" It wasn't. It was very choppy and she wasn't very helpful on telling me how to style my bangs, blowdry etc. The cut came out to be about 45 if I remember correctly which is pricey for the quality that I got.... The hair was waaaaaaay too short for what I asked for! She was nice..but kept on lecturing on why I had my cartilage pierced and didn't approve of my interracial dating practices (which got annoying..I came for a haircut froma stylist not my mother!) I felt kinda bad because she saw my disappointment at the finished product. I made up for it by tipping her well but... I wouldn't go there again! read more

DO NOT GO HERE I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE I was, as previous yelpers have reviewed, given the following treatment. NOTICE SOME COMMON THEMES: 1. bullying to add more products into my hair when i clearly said no... then she went ahead and put a bunch of gunk in my hair that made it super greasy very instantly. gross. 2. my stylist MADE FUN OF my hair. I had severely dry scalp from this crazy winter and explained that to her, but she still had a disgusted judgmental face and wouldn't touch my head until the washing lady washed it. Seriously? if you don't like touching frizzy hair or slightly dry scalp then you are in the wrong business. 3. i have long hair past my shoulders and told her to clean up - NOT MAKE NOTICEABLY SHORTER - my layers. She just kept chopping away and stopped suddenly with a panicked look on her face and the sweeper person swept my hair away before i could even see. i asked what was wrong and she said nothing she thought she may have snagged her finger (???) 4. the long hair i did have was also cut off three inches. THREE INCHES WHEN I ASKED FOR HALF AN INCH. it takes me forever to grow my hair and she BLATANTLY did not listen to me. she basically gave me the haircut she had, but slightly worse because she was definitely NOT paying attention. 5. she gave me a few foils of color which did NOTHING to my black hair. if it wasn't going to work she should have told me, but she pushed me out the door and said that the color would show up in "sunlight" and that I shouldn't worry. I'm not a moron but this is utterly ridiculous. upon washing and styling my hair today i want to punch someone because all the patience and time I took in taking care of my hair was for nothing. now it looks like a 4th grader took some blunt scissors to it while I was sleeping. DID I MENTION THE LAYERS ARE ALSO UNEVEN AND NOTICABLY SO? I called but the manager wasn't in. If they don't refund then I am going to dispute the charge on my card... $100, what a WASTE. ZERO STARS. DO NOT PASS HOME, DO NOT COLLECT $200, GET THE F OUT OF THIS INDUSTRY IF YOU CANT RESPECTABLY CHARGE SOMEONE A HIGH END SALON PRICE AND FOLLOW THROUGH. read more

I came in to the mall prepared to get my hair cut at Bubbles, hoped for the best (I'm not a regular in any sense) and walked out in style! I was lucky to just waltz in and meet Tatiana, without any discussion about my hair type or what I was looking for. She was professional and focused, yet easy going and very kind. Great wash, cut, dry and style, and I only needed to flash my ideal hairstyle for a minute and she knew how to make it happen. Then she did! Little to no wait overall, as long as you call ahead you have a good chance of setting an appointment same day it seems. She was quick but did not rush at all, even though I came towards end of day. I highly recommend Tatiana, and hope when I return that she's available. Thank you for this rad look read more

I've been looking for salons for so long now to do what I want with my hair. Every time it turns out not how I wanted but not this time. It was my first time at Bubbles salon and I would definitely come back, It was also prom day that I decided to try them out for the first time. I wanted a certain curl to my hair and style and I called to make an appointment and ask for someone who would be great at this and they suggested Veronica. She was great! She really paid attention to details. This was the first time my hair finally turned out how I wanted and it's all thanks to her. The prices weren't too bad either; my hair looks great. Definitely recommend anyone who wants to do any curls or styles to go to Veronica! read more

Stopped in for a last min shampoo and blow dry. Solaimon was my stylist and he did an excellent job. The staff was very welcoming and I didn't have to wait at all. It was just extremely hot in the salon but then again it was a small area with many blow dryers going at once :) Thank you Bubbles for my first time experience. read more

I went into Bubbles today with pretty long hair. I wanted to chop off the dry ends (about 2 inches) and get a few long layers. I just wanted a trim so I could keep growing my hair out. At the end of the appointment Steven had chopped off like 5 inches and gave me about two tons of layers. He was also pretty rough, moving his hands/brush/scissors quickly through my hair, not caring that he was pulling on my hair. At one point he also put a glob of product in one hand and shoved his hand about an inch from my face so I could smell the product. Except he didn't really say anything and just shoved his hand in my face. I was really upset with the final product. It doesn't look bad, but it's not what I wanted at all. Back to Salon Bleu I go. read more

Came in after work one day and was greeted right away. I showed my stylist a picture of the hair style I wanted, and he asked if I needed shampoo and styling after. I said I was just going home after and didn't need anything fancy which he said would be extra. I double checked that I wouldn't be walking out with wet hair and he said no and that it would be $45 total. Things are going fine, and then he starts drying my hair with this hands. And then that's where he stopped before pulling my hair back like he was going to make a ponytail, then twisted, then dropped my hair, and then exclaimed "done!" With my hair still damp. When I asked if he was going to finish styling, I was told that would be an extra $10. I have NEVER been to a hair salon where they charge you extra to dry your hair straight, but apparently this is considered fancy and comes with an extra charge. At this point I was not going to give any more money to this place and declined the extra service, put my hair back up, and left. I'm not sure why any salon would want someone to walk out of it the way I looked. On my way out I stopped in next door at the Paul Mitchell school and asked for some pricing information- they charge $13 for a haircut, and that includes shampoo and a blowout. I was skeptical enough to not try them today, but I think I would trust them more than what I just experienced, plus if I had gone there, my hair wouldnt still be wet. read more

Okay so I have been to Bubbles many times because most of the time I get a great haircut there because their people are pretty well trained. Today I had Solomon. He was truly incredible. I absolutely LOVED LOVE LOVED him. My hair looks so amazing. I also have a short women's pixie cut so that is always a challenge. But not for Solomon. He was such a pro. I am so picky about my haircuts and who does them. It takes a lot for me to trust a hair stylist, so if you ladies have short hair you NEED to go to him. He shampooed, cut, styled, and blew dry my hair in about 35 mins. Which is the perfect amount of time. He really could tell what kind of person I am and what I wanted. He also has studied face shapes and knows what will look good on your face. That is a huge plus. I will from now on only trust him with my hair. He is friendly and so fantastic at cutting hair. Seriously, go get him to cut your hair!! read more

I've been here twice. It's not phenomenal but its ok. I just moved to the area and was looking for a place to get my hair relaxed. Bubbles does do "ethnic" hair (their words, not mine). First off the place is kind of swanky. This is not Hair Cuttery and be prepareed to tip the shampoo girl! I have had Beza and Tony do my hair. They did a great job. Honestly its a bit too overpriced for me. The staff is friendly but I can't see dropping $60+ for a routine shampoo, deep condition, flat iron. They do accept walk-ins if you want something random. And they are nice enough to quote you a price before you sit in the chair!! :) read more

I go to Gina here and she is FANTASTIC. I can't speak for anyone else, and the atmosphere could be better... but if you can look past that and think of it as an ok trade for getting a great cut at a decent price... ask for Gina, she's great! PS. Gina usually isn't available for walk-ins, so make an appointment! read more
