I'm a very picky person when it comes to hair stylists. So much so, that for about a year and a half I refused to step foot into a salon after a terrible haircut. This resulted to me trimming my hair at home. A few months ago, through sheer luck, I found PJ. A woman sitting next to me at a nail salon raved about PJ's ability to cut her difficult hair. I decided to give PJ a shot because my own hair was miserably unruly and needed someone who knew what they were doing (think curly + frizzy + need some layers but not too long and not too short). My first haircut with PJ went great! I left the salon feeling relieved that I had finally found someone in the DC area that could cut my hair properly. Since then, I have been back to see PJ every time. Last week, I came in for another haircut. I had been on the fence about getting highlights because, since I stopped dying about 5 years back, I enjoyed the natural color of my hair. Despite this, I wanted my hair a tad bit lighter than it already was. PJ and I agreed on partial highlights, and they turned out amazing - exactly what I wanted! They are super subtle but give my hair the extra pop of blonde that I really wanted. On the bonus side - PJ also does an amazing job with mens' hair. The first time I had my hair cut, I noticed the awesome job she did on the guy before and suggested that my boyfriend try her out as well. He has been getting his haircut with her ever since. I can't speak for the other stylists in the salon, but clearly PJ does an awesome job! I would highly recommend her. read more

I have had a wonderful experience ever time I have been here. Hasina is amazing! I always make complex requests, and she never misses a beat to do what I ask. My hair is really fine and somewhat thin, and has been colored many different times in the past, more recently with box color due to COVID-19. Since then I have been here three times and I always leave feeling great with beautiful tones throughout my hair, along with a high quality hair cut. Highly recommend this salon and my stylist, Hasina! read more

My experience with master stylist Maysaa was exceptional. She's very experienced, talented, professional, and overall has a very pleasant personality. She has colored my hair on several different occasions (highlights and full color) and has cut my hair consistently for the past 5 years. Each time that I have visited Maysaa I have been extremely happy with the look and experience I have received. I have and will follow Maysaa to any salon that she is at. In my experience, the salons stylist is what makes the salon stand out. read more

This salon recently moved in down the street from my apartment, so I Yelped it and saw that they were offering a promo. Made an appointment with Rania (yes, like the Queen of Jordan) and got a fantastic cut, highlights, and deep conditioning treatment. Rania was so conscientious about her work that she re-toned the highlights twice until she was happy with the color. Prices are average for a nice salon, and the interior is quite pretty and modern. Just like almost everywhere, you can't tip on your credit card receipt, but they wisely put an ATM in the lobby so you don't have to be that loser who has no cash and has to promise to come back in half an hour with the gratuity. read more

This salon is great! I walked in and it was beautiful and I was helped immediately. The receptionist was very nice and took my coat and scarf for me and made me feel very welcome. My appointment was with Debbie and she did not disappoint. I was donating my hair and going from chest length to a pixie. That can be extremely nerve racking but Debbie made me feel very comfortable. I came in with a large Pintrest board full of pixies and she helped me pick one that fit my face and maintenance level. Once it was cut, we tweaked it until I was in love with it. She never made me feel rushed and I can't wait to go back for trims. One downside is that you cannot add the tip via credit card so come prepared with cash or else you have to use their ATM with a $1.50 charge. Overall, I cannot wait to go back! read more

It was a very busy Sunday, and I did not have an appointment. However, the amazing receptionist found a way to squeeze an appointment with Sasha in the next 15 minutes. She offered a drink as well. Sasha is very professional. First she made me sit on a chair, and analyzed my hair/face and asked questions about the style I am looking for, she gave her advice, and she explained in detail what she was going to do. Then another person shampooed my hair and gave a pleasant skull massage. The haircut was very successful, exactly what I wanted. I also really appreciated that she taught me how to blow dry my new bangs, she showed me how to dissimulate them with bobby pins, and explained to me the role of each product she put on my hair. Bang trims are for free too! Overall, I was very impressed by this beauty salon and its personnel. Definitely coming back. read more

There are several things I like about this salon: 1) A great variety of prices (adapted to stylist's experience) 2) Haircut includes washing and blowdry (no surprise extra charges) 3) Awesome customer service. I loved the haircut. I'm growing my hair but I wanted some layers. Renee pointed out that since my hair is thin she was going to make the layers subtle, especially in the back. She was right and it looks awesome. read more

I am REALLY impressed with the customer service of this salon. As you can tell from my previous review, I was really really disappointed in the outcome of the appointment. The owner saw my Yelp review and fixed it. They called me to schedule an appointment. David was wonderful. I respected him right away when on the first glance, he could see why I was unhappy. I appreciated the genuine honesty. With some reworking, I now am VERY pleased with my hair. The layers are of course shorter than usual, BUT it's manageable and will grow back. I no longer feel like I need to hide it all summer in a ponytail. I am very happy with the cut and the customer service and will recommend this salon to other people. Thank you!!! read more

Amazing doesn't even cover it. I wish there were more than 5 stars to give. I went there for a color with a new stylist there, and it turned out far different from what I wanted. I was heartbroken, because my hair is very important to me. I contacted the salon and explained that I was really unhappy with the result and the brought me back in TWICE to fix it. They worked with me until the results were what I was looking for. Everyone makes mistakes, but the important piece is to work to make it right. And they did that and more. In a world where customer service has honestly disappeared, it was wonderful to be treated like a client that needed good results. The owner, David, truly went above and beyond and I couldn't be more grateful. Not only did they work with me to make my hair exactly the way I wanted it, they refunded me for the original appointment. Talk about customer service! My recommendation on stylists would be Carmen. She's professional, super sweet and fun to talk to, but most importantly, she listens carefully to give you exactly what you want. She also offers great recommendations to make sure your cut and color fit your skin type and face shape. read more

I've been going to Jon David Salon for about 2 years. My old roommate, who had the most amazing blonde hair, recommending them for coloring. I dye my hair red, so a good colorist is super important. In my time here, I've used Zaid, Laith, Aracely, and Rania. (Zaid and Laith no longer work here, however). All have been great! My color is awesome and I'm almost always happy. I do wish the stylists took a little more initiative. I'm a little more used to having some feedback about a different way to style my hair (add layers? change bangs? want a new color? would my fine, thin hair benefit from a product you swear by?) and I definitely prefer having some suggestions. I'm not the expert, here! read more

I've been going to Jon David for years and have always left the salon extremely satisfied! Color and cut always on point. That's why I go to ARACELY she is amazing! God bless those hands because she does amazing work. She's located Arlington. I will never go to anyone else ever again. She will make you look like a movie star! read more

Jon David Salon - Amazing ombré done by Aracely - Hair Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I had my hair done here yesterday with Gloria. Gloria is very experienced and my hair turned out very well. With that said, I went in expecting to spend about $120 and somehow when it was all said and done it came out to double that. I felt swindled. I had hoped to start taking better care of my hair in the future but I can't trust this salon again. I put myself in her hands trusting her and I'm very disappointed. Hair came out great but their business ethics were nonexistent. I never would have agreed to a style that came out to double my budget. read more

I had my hair done here 2 months ago, and it was a bad experience. I wasn't planning on leaving a review, but even 2 months later I am still frustrated by what they did to my hair, so I've decided to. I requested an appointment online for partial blonde highlights with rose gold balayage, after checking the Jon David instagram account and noting that yes, their stylists do rose gold coloring. I was assigned a stylist, and assumed that she was picked because she was right for the job. The day of my appointment, I came in, again told the stylist that I wanted partial blonde highlights with rose gold balayage and showed her MANY pictures of the style/color I wanted. For a cut I was simply asking for a couple inches off and refreshed layers. The stylist worked VERY slowly, almost tentative. Even before they had to fix what they'd done, I'd already spent three hours in the chair. So, what did I get? Blonde balayage (VERY blonde), and then I was informed that they actually didn't have the right dye for rose gold. My hair was SO blonde, with no depth at all to the color, so I had to have them put lowlights in just to get it back to something I could live with. Even those were far too brown to look natural, but it was better than leaving with un-requested bleached blonde hair. They found a color that kind of looked rose gold and used that on me - it faded out by the end of the week. The lowlights faded as well, which at first I was fine with because again, they looked really bad, but now, two months later I'm left with - yup, bleach blonde hair. The CUT is also bad - she did nothing to blend the layers and I have very straight hair so they look choppy and I'm basically forced to wear my hair up every day. On top of all that, there is laddering noticeable and some darker spots in the blonde highlights that she put in, right around my face. Had I noticed before I left I would have asked them to fix, but I spent 6 hours at the salon to walk out with bad hair and was just ready to leave. The only saving grace is that they did their best to fix their mess up, spending a lot of time on me that day and multiple stylists helped out. However, my stylists initial error, and the fact that they were not prepared with the right dye for what I had requested in advance meant that I was NEVER going to walk out with what I asked for. On top of all that? It was expensive. I don't recommend this salon, and based on my experience at the Rosslyn location I wouldn't try any others either. I'm going to have to spend a ton of money, just two months after spending a ton of money, to get my hair to look like something I'm not frankly embarrassed by at another salon now. read more

Bishara is the BEST! He always does such a wonderful time on my color highlights haircut and blow dry! I can't stress enough how much he's saved my life! My family goes to him too and I've referred him to many of my friends. I highly recommend him and suggest you always take a consultation with him. He knows exactly what he's doing, it comes within him! If you're looking up this place, well you did the right thing. And now call for a consultation with him, no joke it will hangs your life like it changed mine! Everyone else there is vey friendly and receptionist that pick up always accommodate with your schedule which is excellent. read more

Our stylist is Samantha. Always a good cut and she understands our hair. We have been coming g here for some years and are very happy with the staff and service. Their Covid precautions are excellent. read more

I tend to rate hair places depending on how they wash the hair. It's those little basic thing that can turn a normal haircut to something extraordinary. Jon David does this. I felt pampered. The wash wasn't rushed. The water temp was perfect. To end with a head massage, it was almost impossible not to fall asleep. The stylist cut my hair and my son's hair. She took time with his hair. You could tell she enjoyed what she does. Price for service this was well worth it. read more

Recently moved to the area and decided to get a hair cut, I went to JD Salon and it was a BIG MISTAKE!! I brought in a photo of what I wanted my stylist maysaa couldn't even come close to creating the hairstyle. She butchered my hair even worse both sides of my head looked like they were a different style! I had to run to another salon to get everything fixed. Oh and I was charged by these people for the horrible hair cut. DO NOT go to this salon! read more

I love the experience of this Salon. Everyone here is well trained in customer service. The stylists understand your requirements and have great style tips. There is a feeling of individual attention. The blow drys I have received here are excellent. I feel they are good value for money. In a situation where personal appearance is at stake, this place does a terrific job with customers individual needs. It's not difficult to get an appointment. It's a well oiled machine and makes life simple and customers happy. read more

I could tell and feel my hair was in need of a haircut. I called early in the week to request an appointment with Renée who was unfortunately going to out of town when I was available. The receptionist recommended Carmen in place of Renée as she was available on the weekend. My appointment was in the late afternoon on Saturday. I arrived 15 minutes early and was helped right away by Carmen. She asked me what I was looking to have done and I mentioned my hair had been feeling really dry and not clean even after washing it thoroughly. She recommended they do a clarifying shampoo treatment that she noted was free. I said "Sure!" The treatment was two shampoos with the second being left in and being put under the dryer for 10 minutes. Right at the 10 minute mark, the salon assistant came over and finished the hair cleaning process then brought me to the stylist's chair. Even just following the wash, my hair felt so much better! Carmen advised she take off about an inch and clean up my layers; both of which she did wonderfully. My blow-dry was excellent; my hair was smooth and the color looked better than it had pre-clarifying treatment. Now having returned here and seeing a different stylist who exceeded my expectations, it's easy for me to say I highly recommend this salon. Carmen is very talented and not to mention very sweet and fun to talk to! read more

I've been going here for months now with mixed reviews. First, the staff is generally quite friendly. It's probably not top notch service but it's certainly better than the other barber shops around town. This is the first salon I've gone to so I can only compare this experience to barber shops or places like great clips. Pros: The stylists are generally quite knowledgeable. This is obviously important but for me, it's critical because I give my stylist some artistic leeway when cutting my hair. So, if you don't give me the impression that you know what you're doing, I don't want you near me with scissors. In addition, they'll wash your hair before and after and style it. Cons: They'll offer you a drink every once in a while but you can get one if you ask. I wish they did that every time. They play the same techno/dance music you get at every salon that thinks it wants to be a nightclub, so no differences there. I'll keep coming back because I like my stylist. However, if I didn't know her (and I'm not telling you who it is), I'd be open to looking elsewhere. read more

No one cuts better than Zaid. Period. I've always had trouble with finding people that can cut my very thick and way hair in the way that it should be cut, rather they thin it out too much or for one reason or another just overall leave me really unsatisfied. I started going to Zaid at their other location in Springfield a few years ago. He is the only person I've come across that knows exactly what to do to make my hair look perfect, no matter how long or short, or the type of style - dude cuts with tremendous skill, precision, and ease. He's also very chill and friendly, works with you, and his advice is always on point. I live in Houston now but whenever I happen to visit the DC area, I always make sure to get my haircut in. Overall the salon is a very nice, clean, and friendly place. Their products are really good as well, and their prices very reasonable. read more

Loved it. Convenient location, great stylists. I requested Zaid based on the great recommendations for him. He was great, he cut my bangs and gave me a trim. the shampoo and blow dry was also nice. Take cash for tips, and if you don't they have an ATM machine. Definitely recommend. read more

I found the perfect salon in Arlington. My stylist Rami is the best. He listens to me and pays attention to any example photos I bring in. He offers his expert opinion and will do what we agree upon. My favorite is his highlights; they are the best I've gotten. He has made my dream come true of having blonde hair. I've had bad experiences in the past where the blonde turns orange, but not with Rami! My blonde is the purest I've ever had. And his blowouts last forever! His assistant Sarah is the sweetest and gives the BEST head massages. I feel like this place is totally worth the price. The salon is clean with a comfortable atmosphere and the service is top notch. I always walk out super satisfied. read more

I made an appointment to get my first haircut since the start of the pandemic. I saw Sasha, who was so sweet and kind! The shampoo felt amazing. I did a big chop, and in the shock of cutting 6+ inches off, I realized the next day that it wasn't quite what I had in mind for my normal styling routine! When I called to see if I could come in to have the cut adjusted, they got me in right away and absolutely made it right. So grateful to Sasha and the whole team for an amazing experience! read more

My hair has never looked better and they know what they are doing. I look like a million bucks every time. Really professional salon. The owner, David, has a high level of customer service and quality of work. I go to David, and he is great. He does like to cut, so tell him if you want to keep your length. read more

I have gone back and forth deciding if I should write this review. I'm new to the area and thought I researched enough before I stepped into this location. My first clue should've been that on their Instagram page, the Rosslyn location is barely featured. When I arrived I was super excited and ready to ditch my covid hair. I went with the top of the line stylist, Rami. He was recommended to me over the phone when making my appointment. For reference I have natural dark brown hair with highlights and color that had been grown out quite a bit. I wanted something a little different so I decided to get a sombre. I also wanted 6 inches cut as I have long hair about to my waist. When I arrived the receptionist kindly checked me in, but as I'm waiting I hear the staff trash talking other locations. So unprofessional. At the end of the day and to sum it up, no bleach was added at all. Nothing to help blend. He put color in my hair and cut it. I paid a ridiculous amount for a cut and color, what they call a sombre I guess. He went extremely fast but I trusted this is surely not what just happened. I mean this is supposed to be a super nice salon. And I lost at least a foot of my hair as he said it was just too long. I could've gone anywhere but instead spent over $300, for a cut and color. read more

I have been seeing PJ for over a year and she is just feisty and fabulous!!! She has transformed the color of my hair from a super dark uneven red (result of a DIY box color job... never again) to a gorgeous auburn color that I get compliments on even as it grows out!! And she always remembers my hair goals and what looks I'm working for (changing shades of red and growing it out is a process) and keeps me on track and talks me through every process we go through. She's the best and is so fun to see! I 100% recommend! read more

Some stylist are rude and do not know how to give a person a good haircut. Very expensive for what they do.

I came here for the first time a few months ago when I was looking for a hair salon in Roslyn. I didn't know any of the stylists so I was scheduled with Debbie. I got a hair cut and it looked great. She did a very nice job! I came back a few days ago and got another hair cut with her, it looks great again! I asked her to give me bangs, and these are the nicest bangs I ever had. All my friends love my new hair cut! And I love it too! Debbie is great!! read more

I came in a few weeks ago and got a haircut with Sarah, a junior stylist. She was very meticulous with my haircut and it took her a long time, but it looks great! She cut it exactly how I wanted it and made it look amazing. I'll be coming back to Sarah for more haircuts in the future! read more

Darima did a wonderful job, she listened carefully to all my concerns and not only did what I asked but also went beyond my expectations. The price is reasonable for the amount of work and time that was done. Also the entire atmosphere was nice upbeat and pleasant. I don't know if the entire salon is as good as Darima but I will definitely come back there and recommend it to everyone in the area. read more

Darima did an awesome job with my hair! I had extremely long hair and wanted a big change so I cut a lot off. She gave my hair a lot of body and style I had been missing before. She is extremely thorough and meticulous in her work and will not stop until you're satisfied. She even gave me some tips on how to style it myself. Highly recommend her. read more

I had been searching for a new salon for months because I wanted a significant change to my hairstyle. I immediately thought of Rami who I used to go to when he worked at a salon in Ballston. I was very excited to get in touch with him again and find him at this salon. Rami is excellent- very patient, great listener, and highly skilled. I showed him a few pictures of the cut I wanted and he took time explaining the differences between the pictures and how each of them would look on me. He is very knowledgeable and his suggestions have really improved my hair health. I'm lucky to have found him again! I will definitely go back! read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would, I had an absolutely terrible experience from start to finish and would not recommend this location to anyone! I went about 6 weeks ago to get a color correction to my blonde ombré style and to ask him to blend it as it had been about 8 weeks since my last visit. I also wanted a trim. The stylist was so rude and critical of the style I wanted and what my hair already looked like and said what I was asking for was a "much more complicated process"- it wasn't necessarily what he said but HOW he said it- he talked over me, even laughed at me. Then I had to remind him that my appointment included a cut and he said "if we have time" and towards the end gave me the quickest trim ever, barely noticeable which is fine but I wanted more and it cost like $60. At the end of the whole experience it looked pretty but wayyyyy too blonde and not blended to my dark roots at all- for such a smug stylist and his know it all attitude in the beginning I would have expected a little more. The best part of all of it is, the entire experience cost me $400 which was insane, and I was never told that what he was doing would cost DOUBLE what the price was listed as online. The icing on the cake came when the ATM was broken and the stylist said he doesn't take venmo. Not generally a big deal but I was on CRUTCHES with a broken leg and had to hobble a block away to take money out for the tip. The receptionist was not helpful at all for me to find a working ATM and couldn't even be bothered to hold open the door. I had to make another appointment to fix my hair at another salon 2 weeks later and spent another $250. All in all this experience was terrible and a complete waste of $400, which for me is a ton of money and could have gone to much more important things. read more

So happy with my haircut. Manyssa was great and took time to cut and style my hair. Happy customer! read more

Jon David Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

See all

One of the best haircuts I've had in years. Cheryl knows hair and takes the time to ask you what you want. I have short, thick hair and she does a wonderful job. This was my third cut at this salon and it keeps getting better. Staff is professional and friendly. Five star cut, no doubt. The four star review is because they do not allow you to tip on your card. (bring cash) read more

I have been going to Zaid since before Jon David opended. I was very happy and impressed when the original salon opended. Everyone is so nice including the owner David, who knows everyone's name even if you are not one of his clients! I have never had any issues with Zaid. He will listen to what you want, and will also make suggestions. Since 98 I have been a loyal customer and have never once had a bad haircut or color by him. The new salon opended right in time for my move from Springfield to Arlington which makes me that much happier! I am very proud of all of the stylists and how far the shops have come in the years that have been open. I would recommend this salon to anyone and especially would refer anyone to go see Zaid for a perfect cut and color! read more

I've been looking for a great hair stylist to work on my curly hair-all my curly haired girls know what I'm talking about. Zaid was recommended, so on a cold and windy day I decided to give him a try. The receptionist was nice, took my coat and offered me a beverage. The lady who washed my hair was nice, and did a great head massage. I overlooked the fact that I had to look at one of the stylists lounged on a chair blow drying her hair (not professional in my opinion, do that in the back somewhere out of view). If you are not a fan of dance, top 100 or some what loud music, this may not be the place for you. Zaid is a nice man, he did basic consultation-how do you style your hair, what products do you use etc. He did talk about the product he "designed", but wasn't pushy about selling it. The hair cut, was o.k. which is what brought the review higher than a two. What brought the score down was how he finished my hair. He asked me if I was going out tonight, and if I wanted him to dry my hair straight or curly. I told him that it didn't matter, as I was just going home (an hour away). His salon happened to use the product I use. I figured he knew how much to use and how much NOT to use. He puts the product in my hair, begins crunching it and dries the hair above my left ear for about 5-10 seconds. Adds more product, and dries the hair above the other ear, again only 5-10 seconds. THEN AGAIN adds more product to my hair............seriously?!! Then says he's done. A) it's freakin' cold outside B) my hair was STILL VERY WET, and the very little hair that he did dry was crunchy-what girls actully like that style? Maybe in the early 90's? How does this make sense? Remember, it's COLD and WINDY outside! He walked over to the receptionist to write me up and EVEN THE RECEPTIONIST asks if he was going to blow dry my hair. Needless to say, I wasn't happy. I didn't park close, so I was left having to run to my car with wet hair. I was given a 20% off card for my next visit. I do not know if this is done to all new clients, or if it was done because he knew he left me with wet hair and felt bad? The search for a new hair stylist continues..... read more

I'm giving them a 4 but maybe could gives 5. I had a sudden free Sunday afternoon where a job had cancelled so I got a hair cut much needed. I just got a marine style buzz cut about an inch long all over, which. I do maybe once or twice a year on my thick, wavy, fast growing hair. A simple request done well. I would need to get a "real" hair cut to know if they deserve a 5. My stylist was a very pretty woman recently moved from Arkansas who has a tattoo on her arm. I think Julie. Definitely ask for her she is very nice. read more

TLDR; Very much worth a visit, Bishara rocks and will blow out your hair like the pro he is I needed a haircut more than I needed oxygen. Problem: six months ago I went to Aveda Georgetown and they completely butchered my hair (think: choppy layers, uneven trim, and they 'blew out' my hair with a paddle brush so I walked out of Aveda Georgetown looking like I had a nasty mullet). Fast forward to September....I am desperate for a trim to bring my poor hair back to life. I perused Yelp for hours....and hours.....and was caught between Aveda Casal's and Jon David. I read some reviews...wasn't totally sure but pulled the trigger and made an appointment with Bishara. Hair. Bliss. He listened to me when I told him only 1-1.5 off, added in the long layers, and told me I should not ever ask for shorter layers because of my hair type -- very helpful. He was polite, asked me if I needed anything to drink twice, and overall awesome. He blows hair out so well -- he told me it would fall a little flatter after I left the salon (it did and looked great by the time I got home). Also, I have LONG, thick hair and the cut and style only took 45 minutes. I will definitely be back in Bishara's chair. Bishara gets a 5/5. Jon David gets a 4/5 because they only allow cash tips and their atm has a fee. read more
