After moving from Alexandria VA to Reston in 2006, I was in need of a new salon. Two new friends recommended DoubleTakes and I'm glad I went with their suggestions. DoubleTakes have always been easy to schedule time with and Chau truly listens to you. She will always make suggestions if she thinks something might look better with your face shape or personality, then go with what you want. Even during the cut, Chau confirms cut length and style to make sure you're getting the cut you want. Chau and her team are friendly and easy to talk to, or if you have had a difficult day and just want to listen to your headphones, they are fine with that too. I'm extremely happy with their services throughout the years. Colleen K read more

Worst men's haircut ever! Debora cut my hair. It is such a mess I'm now looking for another stylist to cut it again today to see if something is left to salvage. Debora needs training or needs to retire. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Men's haircut that I received at Doubletake Salon. Traditionally, I've only had my haircuts at Aveda Salons and I was slightly out of my comfort zone going to a non-Aveda Salon. The interior of the salon isn't quite as nice as the interiors of the Aveda salons and there won't be a receptionist to greet you. Don't let that be a distraction. They get right the only thing that matters; the hair cut. I showed the stylist a picture of how I like my hair and she provided a haircut that was on point. I've gone through other stylists that weren't able to do that for me. Pricewise they are similar in cost to the Aveda. Lastly, ask for Lynn, she knows men's hair. You'll be in good hands wir read more

The women were great and my hair looks amazing. The place was clean and they took me right on time. Great products. The little dog that greats is adorable. read more

I enjoyed getting my hair done there. She did an amazing job with correcting my color. I will definitely go back.

I've been coming to Doubletake for 15 years and I've always seen Kelly. She is wonderful! I do highlights and haircuts with her. The salon is comfortable, you can get an appointment quickly, and they always do a phenomenal job. Highly recommend! read more

I love this salon. I always go to Kelley. She is a phenomenal stylist with a fun personality. She does great highlights and cuts and is very flexible with appointments. As for the salon, it's a quiet, laid back atmosphere. All of the staff are welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Got one of the worst haircuts of my life here. Deborah seemed very distracted the whole time. She actually asked me five times which side I part my hair on. I brought pictures of me with a previous haircut that I wanted, but she insisted that I pick something from her magazine. She cut the back super short and left the sides too long and I ended up with a center part after everything! I contacted the owner who offered to fix it but didn't feel comfortable going back. Also, didn't like the barking dog that's on the premises. Not returning obviously. read more

The cool thing about this place was I called and they had immediate availability to stop by. Sweet! The only thing I really liked about this place in the end though was the price. Haircut was not very well done, respect for my short time wasn't there, and listening skills were about 2/10. Let me first mention the location in case you do need to find it. It's in an awkward door on the side of a building on a busy road, with no real signage to point it out. I walked around the place looking for the salon but it wasn't in the plaza, it was around the corner one of the buildings on the main road. It's difficult to explain, so you'll need to take a minute to look for it. It's basically behind Verizon. When I got there, the hairdresser seemed to feel like she was making a connection with me by talking about Facebook and skateboarding and other things while sitting in the chair beside me. During my visit she spent some time talking about how unprofessional she and her coworkers have acted in the past.. I was trying really hard to hint I had somewhere to be and just needed her to cut my hair when I really needed to get back to work. Then, she took an hour and a half to give me a haircut I really did not like. I unfortunately didn't even tell her to fix it because I had to get back to work and she wasted all of the time I had because she would completely stop cutting my hair, sit down, and try to make idle chit chat about random topics. When she WAS actually cutting my hair, she was taking her time going very slowly and when I told her what I wanted, she did not cut it how I described. It was layered incorrectly and not cut to the right length so it ended up looking off balance and awkward. I literally had to cut my hair at home later to make up for it. Highly disappointed and definitely not worth the price. read more

Fantastic salon! I'm not very good in a salon environment, as I grew up being a tom boy. So I'm not good at talking products, what I want in a hair, or if I've done a lot of crazy styling with my hair. I'm also introverted, and I've had a hard time making small talk with stylists. Deborah has been the most down-to-earth stylist I've ever met. She makes me feel incredibly comfortable in the chair and is fantastic with suggestions pertinent to your hair style and texture. I've never had a bad haircut with her, and she also is like the hair whisperer. She glances at your hair and knows what's perfect for it. Everyone else in the salon is also super nice. The other stylists compliment me on my hair or talk to me with jokes and stories. It's always clean, bright, and available for appointments. The women at my office always told me my hair was super cute and wanted to know who did my hair. I recommend it to all! read more

I've been going to Doubletake for 3-4 years now and am SO happy to have found them. Chau is wonderful: she remembers what "we" did last time, gives advice on cuts/styling, and is always welcoming, be it 9am or 6pm. I intend on staying with this salon for many years to come! For me it's exactly what I need in a salon: reliably great haircut, good location and fair pricing. And to boot, I enjoy being there! The location is close to the RTC, but without the parking hassle. They have wi-fi. In observing other stylists there, they all seem to have positive vibes and loyal, happy clientele. read more

Great experience !They were better than expected! I would highly recommend this salon.

This is the first and last time I will visit this place even after taking the appointment they made me wait for 30 mins , I was there 5 mins earlier and the stylist who was assigned to me took another client who came after me. After my hair cut when I asked her that i need curls the stylish initially said I don't have time for it and later when I was like that's fine she started saying you should have told me before I already completed styling ( she didn't even ask what style I want before doing ). Till now whereever I have got my haircut the stylist asks me before they star styling so i was expecting the same from her.But in the end she did the curls so thought ok and while billing i was planning on giving her tips but then before I do it she said I think you don't go to hair cut often. I was very pissed off with what she said and also when I called for appointment they said it is $65 and she charged $75 I didn't even say anything as I was already upset with her. No cleanliness she didn't even clean the hair from previous haircut around below / around the chair.This was worst experience I ever had so far. Not worth it. read more

Follow Lynn my stylist to the new location. I've been following her for years since she work at The Red Door Salon & Spa. Lynn is very professional. She always did my hair perfect every time. I never disappointed. I will definitely follow you everywhere you go Lynn. Highly recommend Lynn. You are the BEST read more

This is my first Yelp review. I'm not a complainer when it comes to service. I don't want to crucify a company because of one bad experience or one employee, but my experience was just so frustrating. I needed a new place to get my haircut. I called Doubletake Salon at 4:48p on Wed 12/28/16. I spoke with a woman whom I did not get her name unfortunately, but then again I never thought I'd need to. I called to inquire about pricing for a short hair above the ear, as I have less hair than most men. Here is the conversation in as much detail as I can recall: Me: I'd like to inquire about pricing for haircuts with short hair above the ear. Salon: Who is it for; a man or a woman? Me: It's for me, a woman. Salon: Woman's haircuts start at $55. Me: How much would a men's haircut be? Salon: They start at $35. Me: What is the difference between the woman's haircut and man's? Salon: The woman's haircut comes with a blow dry and styling. Me: If I elect to not have the blow dry and style, can I pay the $35? I have a boy's hairstyle. There is not enough hair to style and it does not need to be dried. Salon: No, woman's haircuts start at $55. They will shampoo it and everything. But there is a coupon on-line and you can bring that in. If you cannot bring it in you can just tell them you forgot it or something and they will still give it to you. Me: But I still don't understand the difference. Why do I have to pay $55 for short hair above the ear, and the men's haircut is $35 for the same cut? Salon: Woman's hair is different. Me (now irritated): No it's not. So because I have a vagina instead of a penis, I have to pay $20 more for the same haircut. Salon: No, that's not it at all ma'am. And besides they use clippers on men's hair and I bet you don't want them to use clippers on your hair, do you? Me: Yes, clippers are fine. They use clippers on my hair all the time. I promise you I have a boy's haircut. Salon: Look, I'm not the owner and I do not set the prices. You can come in and with the coupon and pay $45. You can go to Bubbles and they will probably charge you $35. Me: I think I will pass for now because honestly I'm irritated at this point. Salon: Fine. You want to come in and pay $35 dollars?! I'm just sitting here doing nothing anyway. Me: I think I'll pass. (and ummmm... so by what you were saying at the end of the conversation you CAN change the price...) Salon: Okay then. (and hangs up...). Yes, at the end she did bend on the price, albeit rudely. But it did not come without a fight and at that point I did not want to give them my business. I was frustrated because talking her was like talking to a brick wall. I tried my best to explain my hairstyle and that it was not a fancy short hairstyle. I felt like she tried to squash everything I was saying. It is unfortunate. A big THANK-YOU to Bubbles for getting me in same day. I called them right after Doubletake and explained my predicament. They happily charged me for a haircut based on length, and I did not have to pay for bells and whistles that my hair does not require. I received a wonderful haircut this evening from them. I understand it is common place to list haircuts as "men's" and "woman's", but I have NEVER been charged for a "woman's" haircut before, because clearly a peach has more fuzz on it than my head does. In my opinion what Doubletakes Salon was doing was clearly gender discrimination. Based on my experience I would not recommend this salon. As far as how they cut hair, I wouldn't know because they wanted to charge me and my lady bits $55 to run clippers through my hair. read more

Doubletake Salon is the best Hair salon in Northern Virginia! Chau has been cutting and coloring my hair for years, and I wouldn't go to anyone else. It's easy to get an appointment too. I always walk in knowing my hair needs some TLC! I don't always know what I want next, but Chau makes it easy to decide. Chau always has time to look at pictures of what styles and colors I like (photos on my phone). She has great follow up ideas too! I walk out of Doubletake Salon every time feeling beautiful! read more

Chau is an amazing stylist! I was hesitant to trust a new stylist at first, but she put me right at ease, and now she does my eyebrows, color and cut! I give Chau my highest recommendation! read more

Just alright. I feel like the stylists here aren't super qualified to do current men's hairstyles honestly. I'm not sure what the quality for women is but I wasn't super happy. Had to keep correcting and showing her how to cut it. For a popular and trendy style it shouldn't be something I have to show her how to do. Likely wouldn't return but this is for men's cuts only. read more

I've been living in reston for almost 3 years and have been driving to Tysons Red Door to get my haircuts. I decided it was time to find a local salon even though I was nervous to leave Red Door. I had driven past Double Take Salon on a few occassions and decided to set an appt. They scheduled me with Deborah and she was fantastic! She first consulted with me on my hair type, how I typically style it, etc. and suggested some things to change up my look while still keeping the length. Deborah talked me through the entire haircut and how to finish and style without pushing products on me. My husband told me this is the best haircut I've ever had and we've been together 12 years! I've gotten more compliments at work on my new cut than I've gotten on any haircut I've ever had. I'll definitely be back to see Deborah and I've found my new stylist! PS- the salon is nothing fancy but the staff were very friendly and it was well kept. read more

This review is for a MENS Haircut: If I could give this salon/stylist zero stars I would. The experience here was absolutely horrible. My boyfriend and I came to doubletake after reading the reviews here on Yelp, but unfortunately they were NOT accurate. Jenny pretty much went against everything we asked for when he sat down in the chair and had NO technique whatsoever. She kept mentioning the military and I told her numerous time we were NOT looking for a military-esque haircut. After very specific instructions to maintain the existing layers and to only trim the ends she MOWED down his hair. After working with a stylist in Maryland for 11 months and perfecting his style, we moved back to VA and Jenny managed to literally RUIN his hair, and that is no exaggeration. She cannot follow instructions and cannot style mens hair AT ALL! This was quite possibly the WORST haircut experience. We immediately went to the Grooming Lounge to do whatever damage control we could- The stylist there was completely appalled at the butcher job she did on my boyfriends hair. Men, beware- Stay away. read more

This is the worst salon experience I have had in many years. First, I had to call because I couldn't find the salon in the plaza. There are no signs anywhere. It is located under a bank. When I walked in the door, I was horrified to see a salon that had water marks all over the ceiling and renovation projects that looked like they were started and never completed (for example, all of the baseboards were missing exposing holes in the wall.) The chairs and mirrors were old and it looked like everything was covered in a layer of dirt. I sat down in the chair and got a consultation from a stylist that I could barely understand. I explained that I had been getting highlights for almost 15 years and wanted a partial to cover up my roots before a wedding this weekend and just a trim on my hair as I wanted to keep it long. She flew through my foils. I knew the sections she was doing were way too big and that she only applied one color to the top and front of my hair. It was clear that she used bleach as my scalp was burning from the application. I expressed concern that she didn't put any foils on the crown of my head where my hair naturally falls, but she assured me it would be fine. When she put me under the dryer, she wouldn't just let me sit. She came back every 2 minutes to check them and show them to me. She said she wanted them to be perfect. After the worst shampoo I have had in an extremely uncomfortable chair, I took one look in the mirror and knew I was going to look like a skunk. She proceeded to cut my hair in a bizarre technique. My trim became almost 3 inches of hair lost and resulted in a cut that is uneven with layers everywhere. This is going to take me years to correct. As she blew my hair dry, the highlights really started to show. The top of my head has white bleach streaks over my naturally dark brown hair and then does not match my previously dyed blonde hair. It was clear I was upset. I asked if this would tone down and she said to just fluff my hair so people wouldn't notice. I explained that my hair doesn't stay like that all day. She offered me a root lift and I declined. As I could feel the tears building up, I just paid and left. When I got home, I called back to express my unhappiness and ask for a refund. Once a manager called me back, she essentially called me a liar and finally agreed to issue me a full refund. I then immediately made another appointment at a different salon to get my color and cut fixed. I will never be returning to this salon and would never recommend anyone to go here. read more

I've been a customer since at least 2005, thanks to the personalized professional service and the lovely staff. I also appreciate the possibility of using and purchasing natural hair care products, like doTERRA, that are offered there. read more

I am pretty picky about my haircuts and color. I am always looking for a new and better stylist. I recently tried Doubletake and requested Deborah. She did a great job on my cut, and I will try her again when I need highlights! read more

Jenny always does a great job cutting my very straight hair, and I've gotten enough bad haircuts elsewhere that I appreciate her ability to give me a great haircut every time for the past 7 years. In fact, all of the stylists at Doubletake are great - just about every one of them has cut my hair at least once when Jenny was not available for one reason or another. I'm always confident that I'll walk out with a great haircut. read more

First time visiting the salon. Lynn did a beautiful job on my daughter's hair. We will be returning!

Followed my hair stylist, Lyn, here. I have curly hair and am particular about who cuts my hair. Lyn does a great job with my cut and color. Today, when I wanted to try a different color, she got it perfect (my hair had sun bleached out a bit during the summer and she matched it perfect so now my roots are not showing:) ! ). The salon also does waxing and mani/pedis. Easy to get to in Reston Town Center, but not the area where you have to pay to park so no worries there. I would easily recommend Lyn. read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Chau for several years, and she's so good and friendly that I won't get it cut anywhere else. I live in Boston now, but I wait until I return to Virginia to visit my parents to get my hair cut. Chau does a fantastic, thorough job with every haircut, and you never feel like she's rushing to move on to the next client. She always asks how I want my hair cut and then makes suggestions on ways to make the cut flattering and stylish. I'm always happy with the outcome. For my sister's wedding, the women at DoubleTake Salon did the hair for the entire wedding party, and we were all thrilled with our results. I definitely recommend DoubleTake Salon as an excellent place for a high-quality haircut with a professional and friendly atmosphere. read more

Jenny is a great hairstylist...she also does an amazing job styling my hair so that it enhances my natural features and makes me look younger. I recommend Jenny to all my friends!!! Make you ask for Jenny when you go to Doubletake Salon. read more

The stylists at this salon are the best. It's not a snobby salon and they accommodate your desires for a soda, to turn up or down the temperature, take a recipe from one of their magazines etc etc. Deborah has been my colorist for the past 12 years. She previously worked at Bubbles Salon and now works there. I get many compliments on my hair color which is a combo of dark base color with subtle highlights that look very natural. She now colors my 23 year olds hair one shade darker cause it looks more striking. Deborah is good at blowing and cutting as well. She is my fav colorist and that's what I primarily go for color read more

This is by far the worst salon I've ever been to. I just went to get a simple hair cut, and the stylist seemed inexperience and unprofessional. She seemed like an amateur trying to figure out how to cut hair, rather than a trained professional. She actually missed hairs in the cut; I had to trim a couple strands myself because they were much longer than the rest of the layer. I strongly recommend going elsewhere. read more

I walked in last Saturday without an appointment , and was assigned to Deborah who gave me a very good haircut. My previous haircut at another salon had been a mess, but Deborah got my hair back on track and was very pleasant. I will definitely book a return appointment. read more

I had to get my hair shampood n blow dried for meeting downtown. Quick, beautiful and super nice outcome. Thx Chau :)

I've been very pleased by the hair cuts I've gotten by Jenny. She always offers suggestions for my hair cut and it's always turned out looking good. The price is reasonable ($55) and they are flexible with scheduling. Also the receptionist and shampoo lady are both courteous. read more

this place is a disaster! The hairstylist was 30 minutes late arriving to the appt, and then colored my hair wrong. Charged way to much for a small color change on a chuck of hair. Do not recommend this place to anyone that wants good customer service, and reasonable cost for average hair salon!! read more

I am very picky with my haircut and this is the only place that can do it right! My hairdresser is awesome! I'm not going to post her name on here because she is always booked. Double take is the best in price/value ratio read more

After reading many reviews about salons in the Reston area, I decided to check out Doubletake. I really loved the comfortable, non-pretentious, and welcoming atmosphere. The salon is very clean and professional. I have not been able to find a salon in many years that I ever wanted to return to until now. Based on the previous reviews I asked for an appointment with Deborah. She was very pleasant and warm. She updated my look and explained to me ways to style it. She did not push me into any decision but wanted to help me see what my hair had to offer. While I was there I also noticed the other stylists and the rapport they had with their clients and it seems Deborah is not the only gem there. read more

I have been going to Jenny at Doubletake for over 6 years and she is Excellent. Very thorough, attentive and she does excellent work. I have curly hair and my wife has straight and we both love her. Friendly and engaging as an added bonus! read more

I have been getting my hair done at Doubletake since I moved to this area in 2011. I ended up there on the recommendation of a friend, and I'm SO GLAD I did! Chau is an absolutely phenomenal stylist and terrific person as well. She has done cuts, highlights, and perms for me and she ALWAYS does an incredible job. She really takes her time and gets to know her clients preferences. She clearly takes pride in doing a good job, and is very concerned with making sure you are totally satisfied when you walk out the door. She is by far the best stylist I have ever had doing my hair, and she has been able to do amazing things with very little to work with. I have baby fine, thin, totally straight hair that lacks volume and definitely does NOT easily lend itself to most styles. Chau has successfully been able to pull off styles with my hair that others have tried but failed miserably at. Her cutting skills are the secret! I highly recommend Doubletake and strongly suggest that you make your appointment with Chau! You will NOT be disappointed! read more

Chau is great at cutting and coloring my hair I have been there several times and the place is always clean and the people friendly.

I highly recommend Doubletake Salon, and Chau is fantastic! She always takes the time to talk with you before she cuts your hair in order to determine how you would like your hair cut. She is very stylish and really knows what she is doing, so she makes great suggestions for what she could do with the cut to best compliment your face. I have been very happy with every cut she's given me. Also, while some places cut your hair so that it looks good only right after the cut, she does such a great job that it continues to be a fantastic cut even after your hair starts growing out again. I cannot recommend Chau and Doubletake Salon highly enough! read more
