I had my second cut with Crystal today! I get very nit picky with my hair and both times I've felt confident after each cut! If you want someone very detail oriented and gives great cut please give Crystal a shot in her chair! read more

Good Company that needs to update hair terms I've gotten my haircut at HC for years, usually as a walk-in. These days, after the pandemic it's easier to make an appointment. They have skilled beautician, that wash, style and cut hair professionally. I love the diverse mixture of stylists, and they are skilled with lots of talents. They cut my hair wonderfully. My biggest problem with the company is the antiquated terms used like "coarse hair," which I find offensive. It gives a negative connotations and vibe toward people with curly hair. There's texture charts and updated terminology, like 1A or 4C. I've nothing against this specific location, I just would truly appreciate if the company updated their website and terms to be less offensive to the curly hair people and population, which includes black and brown people. Here's hoping the company sees reason and updates their website with modern terminology for hair. read more

The new parking access and automated features at this location do not allow 30 minutes free if you use the Anonymous feature when entering. It seems that you MUST enter your cell phone when entering the lot in order to access the free parking feature. Not good and nobody in the shop seemed to know about this. Cost me an extra $3.15 parking fee that should have been free. read more

Worst team work and customer service I've ever experienced. Two employees who were seated in chairs on either side of the entrance were on their cell phones taking personal calls. The check-in tablet was stuck on an error message so I couldn't check in. I waited 15 minutes at the front desk. The only two visible employees inside were cutting hair of customers and neither bothered to look up or acknowledge my presence. One employee finally came over to me but only because I was in her way on her way out to get coffee as she had announced to another employee. She asked me if I had an appointment. I said yes, and then she walked out. Another customer had entered a few minutes later. I saw the woman who went for coffee come back, got to the back room, and complain to the others that there are customers waiting. I went to my usual location in Burtonsville and was greeted immediately and acknowledged and was seated within 5 minutes. What a WORLD of a difference. AVOID the Bethesda location. read more

My stylist is CJ, she is excellent! She is very attentive to detail which I appreciate. And we laugh together at my bad jokes.

Abby is wonderful and I recommend her. Call for an appointment. My haircut is just perfect. She is off on Tuesday.

Ali did a beautiful job with my hair. He listened to my requests and went over and above.

I visited this afternoon for shampoo and blow dry with Olaplex treatment. Yes, I know I can go 3-4 stores down to visit the Dry Bar for something fancier or perhaps, nicer. But the Hair Cuttery is better in many ways. Not only the price point is less expensive, but the atmosphere is more casual and less stuffy. You can also do walk-in appointments and there's lots of shops to browse while you wait for your turn. I got to see Tresa today for my service and I loved it. I left the salon practically skipping because of my bouncy shinier hair. And it doesn't take forever or anything. Don't you hate it when it's so hot outside and you get blown dried for what feels like an eternity? Definitely a worthy $35 to spend for such good feelings afterwards. read more

This place is extremely unprofessional filled with irresponsible racist people. I made an appointment online and I received the confirmation through email and phone. I arrive on time, there are two women with no clients, and even with the proof that I showed them they declined me. Very rude, and they didn't even apologize. I've had issues with racism and there, but the woman who would always do my hair I wouldn't have a prob with- as she was also a victim of her co-workers. Not to mention, I met someone there who also reported it. Do not go there, it is a horrible place, and their products don't do anything. read more

This is the third time I have worked with Bean and as before, she listened to my request and went over and beyond,

Great haircut. Stylist was terrific!! Definitely will go back. The salon was clean, sitting provided, and well staffed. Was a walk in and I waited less than 5 mins read more

This a GREAT hair cuttery. Everyone does a fantastic job. I don't even know anyone's name but I know I can always choose first available stylist and I will leave happy. The stylists know what they are doing and they have a high standard. Haircuts are only $30, color depends on length and color but are around $82. Color takes about 1 1/2 hours, cuts are about 30 min, so both together is about 2 hours. There is a combo cut and color package for a discount including a special treatment. If you get color and you are a repeat customer they have your color number on file so they don't have to reinvent the wheel. They take the time find just the right color combination in the initial visit so they can get started right away. The stylists are very knowledgeable about what works best for each client. I recommend the combo cut and color package with the extra treatment. Worth it like twice a year. I'm sure there are great stylists everywhere, but this is the only Hair Cuttery location I have found that is consistently reliable. read more

Bad customer service. Despite having an appointment, I had to wait 45 minutes to be seen for a simple haircut. They even took a walk-in customer before me, fully aware that I had already been waiting for half an hour at that point. They were not apologetic. There are plenty of other places in Bethesda that offer haircuts at competitive prices (for both men and women) and won't treat you like your time is worth nothing to them. I plan to try Bubbles Salon, Trans Barber Shop, or Joliena & Jenna Barber & Stylist next time. read more

Great ambience. Easy check-in & check-out. Free parking just behind! Online appointment if you prefer!

Always a great experience at Hair Cuttery. Their staff are always friendly and professional!

First visit to Bean, old hairstylist died after 41 years. She gave me a great haircut for a very reasonable price.

Would give no stars if possible. My comment is about the receptionist- she threw me out for saying she was extremely rude. I'd said she seemed not to have come from around these parts. She told me I could never come back. She was new to me and before that I and my granddaughter and daughter had used this place for cuts and color for many years. We had gone to Mona who was fabulous. After she left and they wouldn't say where she'd gone we went less often. Not sure if that receptionist is still there. I won't be checking back. This was a few years ago. read more

So... I came 10 minutes early for an appointment, my hair stylist was finishing up with a client. When she was done, she ask me to have a seat while she cleans her area for 5 minutes. After waiting for 15 minutes I looked for her and she was giving someone else a shampoo!!!! So rude Phoung, I left because how can you trust a not so truthful service provider. She called me a few minutes later and I told her that now I know why my Haircuttery is so cheap.... unreliable and untrustworthy service. My first try with a HC type service as my regular was fully booked. read more

love the salon & PHUONG. Neat. Clean. Cheerful Staff. Good prices. 85 characters loooooong. This is crazy. I said all I wanted to say. read more

I normally get my hair cut in my hometown, but just wanted to simple trim with no layers and thought Hair Cuttery could handle that. I was wrong. The lady, Amy, who cut my hair was so nice and I even tipped her pretty well. I didn't have her blow dry my hair to save some money, so I didn't notice how uneven my cut was until a few hours later. I'm upset because I explained that length is really important to me and now I'll have to get even more length taken off to get this fixed. I will NEVER be going back here. I have easy straight hair and asked for a trim with no layers and they couldn't even get THAT right. When I went in the next day to show them, I was told I could EITHER get my money back or have them fix it. I got my money back and will never be going back there again. I advise you don't go either. read more

Hair Cuttery - My hair is about 4 inches different on each side. Unacceptable! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

The cut itself was disastrous... that said, I am aware that this is Hair Cuttery and I was getting a $30 cut--so had my expectations **extremely** low--this experience, however, managed to even undercut those. My hair is thick but I asked for a simple cut - few inches off the bottom, blunt cut, some minor angling/framing around the face, and thinning to take the bulk out. Again, I had super low expectations. The blunt cut was fine. When it came to the framing around my face, though, she pulled down a hunk of my top hair in front of my face and (to her credit), asked if that was a good length to start (what I assumed) would be the highest "layer" of the angle I had requested. When I affirmed yes, however, I was startled to see her--in one blunt chop--just cut ALL of my hair at that high point. There was no attempt at blending the now-bang-length chunk of my hair into the rest of it. She then announced she was done. I reminded her about the thinning and--again, instead of shearing downwards with the sharp end of the scissor--she took a thinning comb and just started making little cuts, completely randomly, into the back of my head. The kicker was that she didn't even brush through my hair at the end of this whole saga...leaving me to stand there for several minutes combing through it by hand to remove the "thinned" chunks no longer attached to my head. All said, I think more training would really go a long way for this stylist. I used to thin my **own** hair with the same tool she used--to disastrous results--which is why I force myself to have a professional cut it before I screw it up again trying to cut/thin it out myself. This is, however, the very first instance in which I sincerely know I would have done a better job left to my own devices. read more

I live near to this branch thats why I always go here and every three months I get my haircut. What happened is that the hair stylist I told her not to USE hair RAZOR but she keeps insisting hair RAZOR. From the very start I told her to used SCISSOR. But then she used hair RAZOR. the name of the hair stylist is Ahelah. I am disappointed. I observed also shes in a hurry. Also,this is the second time that a hair stylist insisted hair RAZOR. At the very end,I complained to the assistant manager and I showed her the haircut that she did. My sister ask the manager if the salon is just using razor all the time and she said NO so its always the customer what she/he wants. The assistant manager told me to go back and she fix my hair. Thank you really!!!the abby kebede!!!. read more

It's a one because zero isn't an option. I went for a blow dry the lady washed my hair and told me it was too much for her to do. I would never go to this place. Someone told me it was good for a blow dry apparently not and it's just depressing in there read more

If you aren't super self conscious about your hair, I recommend this place. If you are, move onto a more fancy hair cutting place. Here's why I'm a fan: 1) It's one of the cheapest places around. 2) They wash your hair after they are done. 3) You rarely have to wait. 4) If you don't want to be spoken to while getting your hair cut, they don't force you to chat. read more

Hair Cuttery - Hair Stylists Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

The first time I went in for an appt with Abby, an assistant manage in the salon, she was 20 min late to start because she was having a conversation with her colleague in the back. She was very apologetic, even offering to come in early to accommodate my schedule for a future appt. Between that and the fact that I was in a pinch and needed someone who could work with my type of hair, I was hoping that first example of poor communication and lack of professionalism was a fluke and went to her for a couple clean ups and one full haircut. Turns out it wasn't. She was regularly disorganized and when it was clear she was comfortable continuing to disrespect my time I moved on. read more

Annie provided the BEST hair service (shampoo & conditioner) for my daughter in less than 30 minutes for only $5!! She was VERY PROFESSIONAL, SERVICE-ORIENTED, and DELIGHTFUL to speak with as well. It typically takes me 5 hours to wash and style my daughter's hair, yet she saved me 4 hours; I WAS ASTONISHED! It only took me 1 hour to comb through and style her hair when we got home. Thank you, Annie!! We will return to the Hair Cuttery on Bethesda Avenue bi-weekly and as needed, now. Please visit Annie; you will be thankful that you did! read more

Abby was amazing!! She was so sweet, super quick, and did a great job with my hair. The conversation was nice and not forced which made the appointment much more relaxing. Hair Cuttery has the best prices in the area as well. I saw Abby for my first haircut since moving to Bethesda and she will definitely be my stylist while I'm here! read more

Really great experience getting my hair blown out with Jerry. Will definitely return. Stephanie read more

Booked an appointment last minute on my day off. All I needed was a simple haircut to clean up my ends. After washing my hair, the stylist immediately parts my hair down the middle. I told her I part my hair to the right. She asked me if I wanted it cut that way. I must have had a surprised look because she then said, you don't want a change? I said no. All I was looking to have done was a cut with some framing around my face and very light layers - mostly to give it a little more shape. She did the cut and blew it dry with a little styling with the flat iron. In the salon it looked okay, but once I got home and could see the haircut up close, it was a total mess. The ends are choppy and uneven. It honestly looks like a child cut my hair with safety scissors. This is possibly the worst haircut I have ever gotten. Never have I been more thankful that my hair grows fast. I'll be biding my time with my hair in its uneven ponytail until it grows back enough for a quality salon to fix their mess. I only wish that I could get back the $67 I paid so that I could put it towards a haircut somewhere else. I wanted to give them a chance because the cost of haircuts in this area is so outrageous, but clearly you get what you pay for. read more

Annie is fantastic! So kind, gentle, and funny! I went in for a haircut and she listened intently to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. She did a great shampoo, she chose one specifically for my hair type and the head massage was wonderful. I took off one star because the pricing is a little unpredictable- I was quoted $35 online but paid $45 because my hair is long. Still the best price in Bethesda! Just wish they were more upfront. read more

I usually have a good experience coming to this location, that is why I rated it 4 stars. Although today I had my hair straightened, which hair dressers tend to use oils on my hair to smoothen it out. I specifically requested no oils on my hair since I know how oily my hair gets. But the woman who worked on my hair today used oil anyway, even after I asked her not to. I am very upset because I got my hair done for a special event tonight and now I'm not sure if getting my hair done will have been worth it. Hopefully it's not greasy by the end of the night... UPDATE: went back and got it redone. But I also realized that she cut my hair shorter from within. Not sure if I will ever be returning to a Hair Cuttery location. read more

Phuong gave me the best hair cut I have ever had. I usually get my hair cut even all around but she recommended a high low (long in front, short in back) and it looks absolutely incredible! I have never been so happy with a hair cut before. I was disappointed with another hair cuttery location so I was hesitant to come to this one but Phuong did such a good job. Come here and have her cut your hair. read more

I took my 5 year old here for a haircut and was disappointed with the experience. The woman washing her hair carried on a phone conversation during the wash. Then after she cut her hair she left my daughter unattended with wet hair while she washed the hair of another woman. She walked away and disappeared without saying anything to us for 10 minutes. I can see doing this for a grown up but a child who was already struggling to sit still is a little different. We won't be returning. read more

There is no secret that stylists cultivate steady customer relationships. It provides consistent business, fat tips, and clout with the parent company. I have an erratic schedule, and often impulse decide to get a haircut. Not conducive to having a regular stylist. So when I sat down today after being told I had a five minute wait, I became annoyed after 30 minutes had passed, and three customers arriving after me were given their regular appointments. The system needs to be restructured, if this is company policy. Their product is a fungible commodity offered by many vendors. I am taking my mop of hair down the road. read more

I wandered into this hair salon because I heard it was the cheapest around, which matters more to me since I have a very basic hair style that's hard to mess up regardless of the location. I was directed towards their electronic sign-in system and waited about 5 minutes before Annie took me. We briefly discussed the style I wanted and I showed her a reference picture. She was very methodical and careful, almost timid, while cutting my hair, but she did a satisfactory job with the cut and was very personable throughout the process. She asked me several times if I was satisfied and listened when I asked her for additional changes. Overall, I'd come here again because I got exactly what I expected out of it -no more, no less - without paying more than I needed to. The included hair-washing was a nice bonus as well. read more

I am completely dissatisfied with the service. This was my first time at Hair Cuttery. When I first stepped into the shop, no one greeted/acknowledged my presence. I made an online appointment with a hair stylist. After going to the shop, I signed in using their check-in device which told me to "contact the hair stylist I made the appointment with". This is utterly weird. How am I supposed to contact the hair stylist while she is cutting someone else's hair? Also since this was my first time here, I didn't even know the face of the hair stylist. How am I supposed to contact her? Furthermore, the first page on the website mentions that new customers pay $12.99 on their first visit. When I walked up to pay, I was charged the regular price of $19. When I asked, they told me that the $12.99 deal is NOT available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. If that is so, then the ad on the first page of the website should have mentioned it. It is nowhere mentioned in the ad. I wouldn't mind paying the regular price at all. But this kind of deceit just upset me. Hair Cuttery just lost a potential loyal customer! read more

I'd been going to a Hair Cuttery 10 miles away until I realized this one was a 7-minute walk from my apartment. If you haven't figured it out from my reviews yet, I tend to do things the stupid, more difficult way most of the time. This HC is like all the rest: walk-in, simple services, nice shampoo selection, low price. I was mad at this location last time I went in because I had long hair, and the lady who trimmed it slammed me with TWO long-hair charges, $10 each. I go to Hair Cuttery because it's cheap, and that extra $20 doubled the price of my cut. Lamefest. However, this time I came in on my lunch break and requested a trim with no shampoo and no blowdry. The stylist, Margot, was finished in ten minutes, and my hair looked so much better without the split ends I had been cultivating. $16 and a $5 tip, and I was on my way. Thumbs up. "Useful" tip: There's a "$2 off any service" coupon on their website. read more

My friend just came back from this place. She only asked for a simple bob and straight bangs (she has thin and straight hair) which ended up not to be straight and way far above the eyebrows...

I'm normally reluctant to get my hair cut at a place like the Hair Cuttery but the one in Bethesda is ON POINT. Note--not all Hair Cutteries are created equal. This is the only one I will go to after a not-so-great experience at the one in Alexandria. It comes with the territory though. To survive in downtown Bethesda and its affluent concentration of smug, you need to be on your game. Anyway, haircuts are reasonable. Its $40 with the long hair fee which is still a good deal. They should really change the "long hair" pricing to say "Women with anything other than a man's haircut: Add an extra $10." Anyway, they always do an excellent job with my hair. It may not be the classiest of salons, but when I go here, I know I'm going to be satisfied with my hair which is the most important thing. read more
