As a client of Jon David's for nearly two years now, this review is incredibly overdue but I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this salon. I am sure many can empathize with how difficult it is to find a salon that caters to you and Jon David quickly became my favorite salon ever since my first appointment. Further evidence of their superb service is evident if you just make a Saturday appointment; you will be amazed at how busy the salon can be and the level of service provided by the wonderful staff.
My hair color has constantly changed over the past 14 years-from blonde to black to tones of red and burgundy....to even pink. You name it, I had it, but there was always something that I felt was "off" about my hair after it was done. Whether it be the color fades to a shade that I don't like or the cut is not flattering, it has taken me a long time to be happy with my hair. At my first appointment with David, I explained what look I wanted and he was very constructive with his opinions on how I can achieve that look. The first thing I immediately appreciated about David was that he was not going to *rush* my hair (I wanted to dye my naturally dark brown/black hair several shades lighter) but that he wanted to take a systematic, step by step approach to getting to my goal color. He introduced me to the ombre style which I fell in love with right away. It was flattering and it lightened my hair enough to fit Spring/Summer. Also, I have to add that David taking this "step" approach to hair color also made it a breeze when I wanted to darken my hair 6 months later!! I personally had little to no color fading/changes between trips to the salon and I cannot begin to express how amazing that is. You truly get your money's worth at this salon!
What I appreciate most about going to Jon David however is that whoever your stylist is, they will be the one to work on your hair. I know it sounds like such a small issue, but I have been to other salons where you make an appointment with one stylist, but someone else entirely does your hair until it is time for the actual haircut which happens to be the only time you actually *see* your stylist. This is not the case with Jon David. My appointments are always with David and he is the one who looks at my hair, oversees and handles the actual coloring of my hair in addition to cutting and styling my hair. Of course, depending on how busy it is at the salon, David will have someone help out (ie: getting colors mixed and blowdrying/shampoo), but for the most part, he is the one that works on my hair.
I have so many wonderful things to say about this salon. The entire staff is wonderful and very courteous. The shampoo girls are always a joy to talk to and when it comes to blowdrying/styling-Susan does a fantastic job giving that "voluminous glam" look. I can keep going on about how wonderful this salon is but this is already a lengthy review! I regularly recommend this salon to all of my friends and family. Although my regular stylist is David, I have seen the other stylists' work and I have yet to see a dissatisfied client leave the salon. Jon David salon aims for perfection and from all the compliments I receive on my hair, even 5 months after my last appointment, I believe it will be very difficult to find another salon in the NoVA area that can yield comparable results :D read more
