Not only did I get one of the worst haircuts I've had in years, my experience at Bang Salon was…read moreinsanely uncomfortable. I decided to try Bang as I am a member at VIDA. I was in dire need of a haircut and my previous hairdresser recently moved, so I booked an appointment with one of the more senior stylists online. My hair is pretty easy to cut... It's long, relatively straight, and fairly thin. No texture, not super thick - pretty easy. I just wanted a very light trim on my ends and a little shaping to my existing layers. What I walked out with was about 3 inches off my hair, and thick, chunky layers that almost give the illusion of a mullet. It's so, so bad. Aside from that, my experience with the stylist was just... uncomfortably weird. Without getting in to too many details, I found the conversation to be extremely awkward. Upon arriving at the salon, I was greeted by the sweet receptionist who offered me some tea. As soon as my tea came out, the stylist came and got me from the waiting area - didn't introduce himself - and sat me down in his chair. I took the opportunity to tell him what I wanted (he didn't ask), but could tell he wasn't really focused on what I was saying. Instead, as soon as I was done talking, I was peppered with questions about who colored my hair (stylist from back home that I've been seeing for years). He wanted to know her name, her age, how much she charged, if she was on her own or in a salon, everything...it was very strange. Even down to asking me if she was "a bitch." He then decided - totally unprompted - to share his political views with me, which are completely different from mine. I shut down completely. The whole interaction was so uncomfortable, and I could not wait to get out of the chair. All the while, I'm watching him cut my hair, knowing that the results were not going to be what I asked for. At one point in time, I genuinely wondered if I was on a hidden camera show. The whole experience was so strange. Needless to say, I will not be going back.

As someone new to hair color, I wasn't always sure how to explain what I wanted, but she was incredibly patient and really took the time to teach me and help me figure it out, she even brought in Kate for her support and expertise. I never felt rushed or pressured--they genuinely listened and worked with me until we got it right. What really stood out was how much care and attention she put into the entire process. Lori always made me feel comfortable every step of the way, and it's clear they both truly care about their clients. Almost a year later we've long since figured out my formula and I couldn't be happier. I'm so glad I found her and highly recommend Top Style by Kate Noda.

Even though I dye my hair every couple of months, it's still healthy and full. Shannon is a senior stylist, and her expertise in color and hair care is impressive. I live in Great Falls, where the well water tends to turn my hair green, but Shannon always manages to fix that. My hair has never looked better! Going from black to blonde isn't easy, and I really can't stand any red or orange tones. I've had issues with other stylists in the past, and it's just not my vibe. My 16-year-old daughter has tried out a bunch of hair colors--red, burgundy, brown, blonde, and back to black. Despite all the changes, her hair stays thick and healthy. I wouldn't trust anyone else with her hair because I worry about damage. Shannon is not just a fantastic stylist; she's also super friendly, kind, and honest. Honestly, she's like my therapist too, haha! She's usually pretty busy and booked up for a few months, so you definitely need an appointment. If you're looking for a new stylist, you should definitely check out Shannon. You won't regret it!

Well...here's how I ended up going to PR at Partners. Before coming here, I had been going to the…read moresame hair stylist since I was 28---yeah, that's a long time but hey, I'm getting old :D Through the years she bounced around to different salons in Tysons Corner (all in the mall). One day, I called to make an appointment. The day before the appointment, I got a call saying that the salon had moved. No longer was it in the mall but in an area of McLean that was a real pain to get to and parking there was also horrible. It really bothered me that my stylist didn't take the time to call me personally to let me know. After all, she did have my phone number. She also once told me she would never leave the mall. I cancelled my appointment after finding that they had moved and never looked back. Now...what to do next? I researched what was in Reston Town Center and came up with PR at Partners. After reading the Yelp reviews, I was concerned as the reviews said the reception staff was rude. But...I decided to walk over there and find out for myself. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the young woman working there was very nice. So, what I did was ask her if there were any stylists who wouldn't be afraid to cut my hair. She said "What's wrong with your hair?" I said, "It's thick, coarse, wavy and frizzy." She said, "Oh, just like mine." I looked at her hair and said "yes". She then gave me the names of 2 different stylists. Apparently, they have different levels of stylists with the most experienced ones charging the most. One of the 2 stylists charged just what my old stylist charged, so I made an appointment with her---and I'm glad I did! My first visit I immediately knew she was the right one when she said "I'm not afraid to cut your hair." Before cutting it, she spent a good amount of time asking what I wanted in a cut, showing me photos then showing me how she would improve on my current cut. For example, she pointed out that the back of my hair could use some shaping. At the end of the appointment, I really liked my haircut---much better than my previous one. She's also taught me a lot about hair care. For example, I finally learned what the diffuser on the hair dryer was for and why I should use it. I feel spoiled going here. When you get a shampoo, the chair also gives you a back massage. Good thing it doesn't take long to wash my hair or I would end up falling asleep---the massage is that nice! I've never come across a rude receptionist either. All have been friendly and patient. In fact, one day I walked in and the receptionist said "Susan?" I didn't expect that. The day before my appointment, I always get an email asking me to confirm that I'm still coming. My last appointment in 2019, I was told if I booked the first one for 2020 right then I would get a coupon to save $10 on the next appointment. All this makes me feel like the appreciate their customers. Now I can walk to my appointments, which is great. I'm so glad I made the change!

I only ever do simple cuts, nothing fancy. My haircut, done by Anderson (a level 3 stylist), is objectively good. The skill was there. But it's definitely shorter than I wanted it. Went in for a lob, came out with an asymmetrical bob...Honestly I was panicking while he was drying it because it was starting to look like Lord Farquaad from Shrek. I asked if he could style it like in the reference pictures I showed (simple waves, to reduce Farquaad-ness). He tried to do it with the brush/dryer, which obviously wasn't working, and didn't want to use a flatiron. So I just suffered through scalding heat on my scalp and hair pulling. I got told I don't have curly hair. I got told I don't have frizzy hair. I, in fact, have both of those. Some other minor things: 1. When I got home I had some hair that was noticeably longer than the rest, like it never got cut. So...I had to do it. Just a few strands, but normally stylists check for that when your hair is dry. 2. I almost never use heat on my hair, so I asked for recs and mentioned a specific brand doesn't work for me. He immediately said he loves that brand. I said yeah...but it doesn't work for me. Anything else? "Any salon brand." Cool. Not helpful. 3. Asked for something at the end to tame the pieces that were sticking out (again, I have frizzy hair). He looked...confused? Smoothing as a last step has been standard at every other place I've been to. There is nothing in the whole salon like that? Also, my introvert-self just wants to go somewhere where I don't have to be engaged in conversation the whole time. Anyway. Won't go back, my hunt continues.

(Please note the final picture with hair clipped is what I wanted to go BACK to, and the photo I shared with the stylist before confirming what was needed to get my look back to the photo.) Well this was my first and last time trying the Reston Madison Reed. I was really hopeful MR would be the place for me. They even had appointments available without booking weeks in advance. I came in with a grown-out style, asked to have it refreshed at the roots and some highlights with balayage and a root smudge... well... What I got looks very sloppy. It's not even close to the ashy blonde I already had in my hair and asked for. Now I have more of a brassy gold between my now DARKER and LONGER (!?!) roots- and my grown out ashy blonde highlights. I can't believe it looks even more grown out than it did before. AND I can see all of my grey hairs still. I'm shocked and disappointed, and it will cost me a lot more now to go have this fixed. My sister who is a professional stylist (but lives too far away for regular hair visits) was absolutely floored when she saw pictures and heard what I paid for this mess. I should have realized this was a mistake when the first woman who took me to a chair was not very welcoming and then disagreed with me about what I told her I currently had in my hair - despite that my sister had done my hair when I last visited her, and I knew exactly what I had. Another stylist intervened and agreed with me, confirming that she could easily see exactly what I had, and she would touch me up with what had grown out. It got tense, the first stylist just wandered away, and the whole switcheroo was sort of unprofessional overall- the second stylist blamed it on a language barrier but there seemed to be much more going on between them. So then I thought I was in good hands- and she was a kind, pleasant person, and we easily made some small talk, and she appeared to take my input about what I wanted and seemed to know what she was doing. But, here we are. And it's not good. FYI- You have to blow dry your own hair. I would have paid for a blowout but it wasn't even offered as an add-on or upsell. The MR products were not good for my fine hair and it was a complete frizzy mess. Bring your favorite products if you have fine hair like me- these products are not for us. I think this would be a good place for a single process solid color. Like, you just need your dark brown roots touched up every 6-8 weeks. Don't get too fancy. Madison Reed originally started with at-home haircolor and then opened salons, giving that concierge touch to your standard box colors, but I think anything beyond the single box color level of simplicity here, could be taking a big risk.
