Great haircuts for my husband and me; we walk in without reservations and don't have to wait long, if at all. Very nice stylists

I've been going to Kama for years, first for my wedding day hair and now I bring my two small children. Both hair stylists do well with children. I must say I'm so impressed by their skills and professionalism - cutting children's hair is not easy but they do such a great job and charge reasonable prices. I highly recommend! read more

We bring our kids there and I get my haircut - always a great experience and always friendly. I also love supporting local small biz. Highly recommend. read more

A nice and clean salon for the residents of Fairfax city located on Old Pickett Rd. A very caring and knowledgeable staff who knows how to cut, style and color hair professionally. I went there for digital perms. I was satisfied with the end results. Perms were large and really pretty. Also the price was reasonable for the perm. It was worth coming here to get my hair done. It is a perfect place to digitally perm your hair no matter the size and at reasonable prices. Check out their photo. read more

Kama Hair Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Finally went to check out this hair salon that I've passed many times on my way to and from Lotte Plaza in Fairfax. Located on the second floor of the building that houses Kama Wedding Studios, the door opens noisily with a "front door open" notification for the people upstairs. Walked up the stairs to an open room on my left where 4 Korean women warmly greeted me and asked me if I wanted to get my hair done. I went on a Tuesday evening at 6:30pm, just looking for a list of their services but they didn't have one printed out. Nicely though, they explained to me that they were running a special 20% off of all services and explained how much everything was. The studio was empty at the time but they say that it fills up on the weekends. I was there an hour before closing but they insisted that that was enough time to get something done. I was primarily interested in the digital perm they had to offer but I've had one before and ended up with frizzy poodle-like hair and was worried. They brought me over to pictures and made sure to ask several times if I was sure that was what I wanted and they guided me to a hair style they believed would look good on me. It felt like I had four Asian aunts looking after me and while they were insistent, they didn't make me feel overwhelmed. They sat me down and Miss Joo started cutting the dead ends off my hair right away. From start to finish, the whole process took an hour, including hair cut, perm, wash and dry. The digital perm machine was interesting, tons of wires coming out of a metal rod on a rolling cart but it did the job quickly and with little mess. While she was taking care of my hair, they gave me magazines to read, a pillow to rest them on top of and some green tea. I was happy when it resulted in loose curls and healthy-looking hair. They put a really pretty smelling conditioner on it (from Korea) that you had the option of buying for $20. I chose not to and they didn't insist. The entire thing was only $120 with the discount they are running. I have to say that was a great price for the service, I haven't seen anything less around this area and it was quick. The ladies were really nice and I had a pleasant experience. Today, after washing and styling on my own, I'm liking the perm more, since it's calmed down and looks more natural. If you're looking for a place where they listen to what you want and take care of you, check this place out. read more

Kama Hair Studio - No curls left on the 4th day. - Hair Salons Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I got a digital perm here and it turned out pretty good. I'm not totally in love with it yet because my hair was cut a bit too much, but I can tell it'll be great when my hair grows out. I had very long hair down to my waist and I said to cut one inch off but after the perm my hair ends around my chest. I think it's because she was focused on cutting off all the damaged parts of my hair and ended up cutting way more than I had wanted. I think choi was the one who helped me and she was very nice. She was also quiet which I didn't mind. I came in and showed her a couple of long curly styled hair pictures and we talked about what I wanted. The process all together took about 2 hours which isn't bad for a digiperm. read more

I've also gotten a digital perm here, done by the owner. The hair stylists are all Korean, but they speak enough English to communicate what you want to do to your hair, they did a good job on my digital perm, and the price is much lower than anyone else I checked out. As a result, I would go back again. read more

I got my hair cut here more than 5 years. Great service and people. Also I realized many of my friends had been getting their hair done here. read more

Seems like an affordable salon - it was neat and tidy - giving a clean vibe. The staff were nice (pleasant small chat) and the haircut worked out well. Men's haircut is $15 and women's haircut is $25 read more

Choi is very good at what she does. I don't go anywhere else for a hair cut since they all look very bad after 3-4 weeks. I don't know how Choi does it but my hair stays layered nicely for a long time. Love it when she washes my hair. Very gentle, no pulling nor hurting. Very honest lady too. When I go there for a perm or dye, she would tell me i don't need a cut or a perm yet. Very pleasant manner too. She doesn't ask lot of questions. All her plants are doing really well. They add even more great vibe to the place. I do call before I come do I don't have to wait. Great business! read more

Worst hair cut in my life. Don't let the lady at the reception cut your hair. I really leave reviews but this is really bad. There is no layer what so ever. My hair now is like blocks in different lengths here and there. Cutting by myself can be better than this. I just wanted to trim a little bit with some layer and even lengths on both sides, because I wanted to grow long hair again. I ended having shoulder length hair now. Really sad. Won't go back. read more

Went to get my hair cut at every first time. That was Sunday afternoon, around 3:30. There was no customer in there, after 4, several customers walked in. Choi, an korean, cuts my hair. I just need to my hair thinner than before. She cut a lot of my hair but not much enough, so I asked her twice to cut it more. I spent $27 = $25 (long hair, no shampoo )+ $2 (tip). It turns out okay, but you can see the lay out clear. Men $12( no shampoo). read more

I didn't even know what a digital perm was 2 days ago. I originally was going to have my friend perm my hair since she's a cosmetologist in North Carolina. Then another friend suggested this place and told me I should get a digital perm because the curls were larger. I am so very happy that I had perm here. The look came out the way I wanted it to look and I did not have to stand in the bathroom curling my hair. Basically what a digital perm is one in which steam is used to break and reconstruct the hair. So you can't wash your hair for 48 hours or blow dry it with hot air for 48 hours. She washed my hair, then put a conditioner on my hair. Then the korean lady put the curling lotion in my hair, rolled it up and hooked the rollers to a heat steamer rack. They steamed my hair for 30 minutes, then let it cool down. Then she put neutralizer on my hair rollers and waited about 5 minutes. She then washed my hair again, no shampoo, just conditioner. Then it was done. The curls were large and really pretty. I usually have to wait about 6 weeks after a perm to get this look. The price was really reasonable for a perm. My old hairdresser charges $120 for a perm at Zoe. After reading all the reviews I thought the perm would cost me $200 but the korean lady here charged me $130 for a digital perm because my hair was shoulder length. So it was worth coming here to get my hair done. The korean lady was really nice and she didn't have to style my hair too much because it came out the way I wanted it. My hair looks healthier after the perm than before the perm (??? That never happens. Usually I get a couple of, "Did you stick your finger in the light socket??? Joke") My hair is soft and glossy and clean. I've already got 2 compliments. I would recommend getting a digital perm for asian hair because I'm really surprised by the results, my hair is not frizzy and considering that I was scared to get one just hours ago. It actually looks like natural curls, not curls from a box. read more

Have been going there for a men's haircut for many years now. Wait time is never long (best to call 1-2h ahead, but they take walk ins too). Complete consistent work done every time. Definitely a place to which I will return. read more

Terrible place! Messed up on my bangs, it was cut too short!! And the service was bad too! They really had a rude staff who could care less.

Beware of this older lady called Mrs Kim... I asked her to trim half an inch and she happily went about trimming 3-4 inches of it... and she gave her justification that it will make me look younger... i came out crying!! The younger stylists are better and more careful!!! read more

Been there a few times. Make sure you make an appointment with the owner lady if you want good cuts. Peace out.

I was referred to Kama Hair Studio by my best friend, and he always looks sharp. I am so glad I went! Nice barbers, best price. They take my hair (and breath) away! read more

I won't go there again. My haircut was terrible. So many random layers make me look bad. I don't think the lady knows what she's doing.

For a while, I've been looking for a salon that can cut Asian hair. Out of all the barbershops and salons I have visited, this one takes the cake. The two ladies there were very friendly and accomodating. I had a very vague idea of how I wanted my hair cut, but my stylist was very patient and helped walk me through the styling and cut. The price for my haircut can't be beat anywhere else. I will definitely be returning to this studio on a regular basis! read more

I received a digital perm from Kama Studio and had a great experience. This is the third digital perm I've received in the past 4 years. The first two times I followed a recommendation on Yelp and went to Lucy's Hair Salon. Lisa performed the first perm and was great at explaining every step, gave me recommendations for bang trim, roller size, etc. I liked the results. The second time, someone else took over the process and the perm came out okay but did not last as long. In both cases, the perm costed $150 with an additional $30 for accompanying haircut (excluding tip). My experiences with the hair cuts have been consistently terrible - uneven, rushed. Both times I had my regular stylist fix it. Recently I decided to try Kama. Kama charged $120 (excluding tip). The stylist went straight to it, asked no questions, gave no recommendations, used a single sized roller. I think the process took 1+ hours (at Lucy's it took the expected 3+ hrs). She didn't talk much and that was way okay by me as I am not a fan of small talk. The treatment seemed more like a cold/hot perm hybrid and I was a little concerned that the curls came out a little tighter than I expected. However, after giving it a few days to relax and a chance to play around with it, I feel really great about the digital perm from Kama- even better than Lucy's. I don't know how a digital perm should theoretically come out, but for me its curly when wet and curly when dry- but nothing like a cold perm. I can easily style it to give the longer wavier curls. The best part is that that no matter how I wear it, the retain the curls all day and even looks great after sleeping on it. Overall, my hair is now super easy/ fast to style and maintain. read more

I will NEVER go back to this salon and I will urge anyone not to either. I went there to get an ombre die. I have naturally black hair. I showed several pictures of what I wanted to the girl and spent several minutes explaining IN DETAIL what it should and should not look like. she insisted she understood what I meant. she started out by bleaching my hair without letting me know that was what she was doing. I had picked out a hair color so I thought it would be died. Then when she washed the bleach out I was horrified by the finished product. An ombre is supposed to go from dark to light and blend naturally in between. She had bleached almost all of my hair to a horrible brassy color and had simply left the roots black. It looked like I had bleached my own hair to a light orange color and not bothered to tough up the roots. Also there was no blending, there were harsh lines where it went straight from black to orange and a lot of random patches. I explained to them very politely that this was not what I asked for and what could they do to fix it. They were very rude and insisted that this was what the picture looked like (they looked totally different) and didnt offer to fix it or even apologize. DO NOT go here. At least for a die job. I havent had my hair cut there but I'm not wiling to risk it. Initially it was cheaper to go here but now Im going to have to go to a more expensive salon to fix it anyway so dont waste your time or money. read more
