First time visiting this cute salon in old town, Manassas it's been in business for a while and…read moregets amazing reviews. I felt welcomed listened to and cared for throughout my experience. I went in to get an emergency repair on a bad haircut and came out with a new stylist and friends.

I'll start by saying I NEVER write bad reviews.. I think this will be my second one ever, but I…read morefeel it needs to be said. I have waited a week to write this hoping it was just my hair in "shock" or maybe the way I was parting it but no, I have a horrible hair cut. Here is my experience. I went in on a Monday afternoon just to see if on the off chance they were taking walk in's...they weren't. The man at the reception counter was a little snooty and put out when he told me he was alone and had an appointment coming in but booked an appointment for me the following day with another stylist. I returned 15 minutes before my appointment time filled out the card and was taken right away. The stylist was super nice and I will not call her out here because of that. However, I went in looking to have my bangs fixed as they looked like a 2 year old cut them, they were long and falling into my eyes, heavy and a little crooked. I also wanted some face framing fringe and maybe some long layers. She listened and asked all the right questions. She checked in with me a few times but it was too late the damage was already done as she cut my bangs first. They were SHORT way shorter than we had discussed, but they were wet. Then came the blow dry. She knew they were too short as she dried them straight and flat to my forehead. I asked for them to lay right at my eyebrows but no amount of flattening would get them there. They looked awful, but there is no fixing too short bangs. I should have said something but..well I was already starting to get upset and didn't want to cry. I did ask if she could fluff them up a bit and she admitted she purposely dried them flat. I felt the other stylists looking and judging, but that was most likely my own paranoia. I did give her a good tip because she was so nice and I just wanted out of there. Over this past week I have discovered that not only are my bangs a full 1/2 inch shorter than we discussed, but they are crooked and lopsided as well. The face framing fringe is non existent as it is just 2 "layers" one 3 inches shorter than the other. There is nothing anyone can do to fix this. I could have done better cutting my own hair with a Brad Mondo YouTube video. Now I am wearing hats or wearing clips to clip my bangs up and wearing ponytails. Think 1980's front bump-it style only flat and with WAY more hairspray. I know it is only hair and it will grow but I am a woman of a certain age and 1. should not have "baby bangs" and 2.my hair has never grown fast and now it grows even slower. The shop was cute and clean. I can't say the people were nice as I only interacted with my stylist long enough to form an opinion. And she was SUPER nice...just possibly not on her best game. I hate leaving bad reviews but I can't look in the mirror at this monstrosity that is my hair without wanting to cry. This is the only time I have left a salon looking worse than I did going in.

My new hair colorist seems nice enough but therés a hit or miss or lack in enthusiasm, almost uninvested tone in it. For example, my prior visit, I came home with color staîns still on my neck, ears and around face perimeters. Tells me she did not wash off the colors and the blow dry and styling was probably the worst hair day i had, es no bueno especially you pay extra for them. Yet, she applies color well despite leaving my scalp visibly tainted for her pushing my hair smashed down at the top of me head rather than lifting them sideways so the sections are neatly stacked or stand up like other professional colorists I had previously. During this visit she asked if I want a drink, i said water but it never came. Her lack if attention and unenthused ´tude were disappointing. Here, i'm a new client and she is hardly trying---just being honest in my review-is all.

I said in the back he has a really strong cowlick and I really didn't want that area cut shorter as it would just stuck up awkwardly. I was extremely clear that I didn't want short hair. She did the exact opposite of what I wanted. I thought it at least was cut well but after getting home/it dried it really doesn't look great. And it's just so short. She just kept shortening it again and again. She admitted that it wasn't anything like what I asked for. I wanted to stay positive for my kid but I can't believe I tipped. Please don't go to her unless you want the one style she apparently can do. I did call Sharkey's and received a call from the owner Pauline. After I told her what happened, she initially seemed apologetic and offered a refund. I sent her pictures as requested. But then she kept trying to get me to agree to change my review immediately in a really pushy way. I asked if the refund was contingent on the review and she initially denied it, but then later texted to say it was. So sketchy. I paid $39.71. I did not receive a refund.
