    Loving the growth of my daughters hair! Thanks Mikelia!!
    MsNique R.

    First and foremost I have to say I am always skeptical of HAIR stylists because most don't listen to what you want or are not into "hair care," so when it came to my daughter I really needed someone that was into natural hair! My daughter has never had a relaxer or anything in her hair and wanted to experience color! Not only has Mikelia helped her hair grow but the coloring is always on 1000!!! I trust my daughters hair in her hands! Now on to the weave experience... ultimately one of the best!!!! I always love my hair when I leave!!! Trust me you won't be let down! I've added pics of my daughter and myself!! Go check her out!!!!

    Mikelia is a wonderful stylist. She is also kind and considerate. She provides great advisement for all my beauty needs and is always available. The most important thing is that I always walk out with my hair looking flawless. I recently went through a surgery, where my hair had to be shaved on one side. I felt really bad about my appearance. Mikelia helped me to look wonderful while my hair grew back and no one was the wiser. It helped rebuild my confidence and got me back on track. I will always be grateful to her and even though I have moved almost an hour away from her location, I still make the drive because I can count on great customer service and a friendly Mikelia. Besides, beauty is pain. If you don't acquire her as your stylist, it is truly your loss, because my hair looks great!

    Hair was flowin....

    There are so few words to describe the talent of this young stylist and I've been with her for almost 4 years because of it!!! From blow-outs to relaxers to hair-masks...she keeps my locks on point. I'm weave-free but am most definitely on the creamy crack.... Mikelia is flexible, understanding and even stretches me to try new styles [that I'm comfortable with). Love her! Give her a shot if you're looking for someone to take it to a new level of chic, cute, sexy.

    She did my makeup and hair

She made my wedding beautiful, first she did my hair and make up on short notice, and I have never been called beautiful so much in my life . She is very easy to talk to and is a great listener, and she is Multi talented hair , make up and photography . SHE IS THE GREATEST, I highly recommend her to everyone anyone everybody, especially for your wedding day if you want your wedding day to be very special. She made mine a dream come true , she is worth every penny love love love her.

    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.

I was very new to the extension space so wasn't very educated on length or color, etc. Chris applied his expertise and I left with a set of clip in extensions (skeptical lol). I wore those extensions monthly for a year and LOVED them. Doing my hair for events (ie updos) became so so much easier. I've since moved outside of the NoVa area. My puppy recently tore up my extensions and Chris was able to order me another pair and ship directly to my house. Unparalleled customer service experience! Cannot recommend this place enough.

They have relationships with some amazing hair extension vendors domestic and internationally I believe (there's one that supplies Russian hair whose quality literally puts both Great Lengths and HairDreams hair to shame - no exaggeration- I've worn both before discovering Devin and Chris). As Subject Matter Experts, they use a customizable solution (technique/type of hair) for each individual client as opposed to a typical cookie cutter approach like GL/HD "Platinum Partner Salons" that are limited by their own hair/application methods including bonding equipment. As to me, as the result of some serious matting both pre and post COVID-19 quarantine and a haircut gone seriously bad, I turned to GL/HD *cold fusion* to fill in multiple patches of super short / chopped off hair as it grows back in and tape ins are enabling me to safely do that (zero hair damage as long as you keep up with your 6-8 week move up appts); I just wish I'd found them sooner!! They are both beyond professional, courteous, kind, compassionate and work super efficiently. It's also worthy to mention that although their speciality/true passion is hair restoration (include extension application), they're also top notch stylists AND colorists to boot. I'm somewhat of a hair color snob since my hair tends to turn brassy as it lifts if the formula/process is not right and have definitely had more than my share of nightmares over the years!. That said, Devin's base bump on my 4" COVID roots using highlights and toner alone rivaled the same result Rita Hazan (NYC) had been producing the past 20 years using a double process and expertly matched the extensions. Last but not least, their prices are more than competitive especially compared to the big "name brand" companies who charge by the bundle plus labor. I promise you'll be in excellent hands and the results will be worth every penny!!
