I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I always look forward to my next appointment!! I have been going here for years. I have stepped out to other salons here and there, when someone else is running a deal or I can't get a quick appointment, but I always regret it and end up running back to Maude. I almost always go to Ashley. I started going to her when she was brand new out of their apprentice program, and now she is a super seasoned artist! I always change up my style and color, and she always communicates so well and is honest about how she thinks it will look on me. Her personality is so fun and bubbly. I have also had my hair done by Vanessa and Celeste, they are awesome and their haircuts last so long! They are so fun to talk to, they give the best advice! (hair, life, men!) Also Kristen and Lauren are great. I would agree with the reviewer that says their shampoo sinks are horrible and uncomfortable... I do wish they would do something about that! But space is limited and they are a full and busy salon (which speaks for itself) so I'm not sure if they have enough room to put in comfy sinks. The only complaint I have about them, is 3 different times over the years they have been out of a product I have wanted. All 3 times I left my name and phone number with the receptionist and she said she was going to call me when it was in... and all 3 times she never called me :( That is very frustrating especially considering I am a loyal customer and have spent a lot there over the years. I do wish they had followed through more with this. This really is one of the best salons in the area though as far as the stylists. I get compliments on my haircut all the time. One time I went to an apprentice there and didn't love how the color turned out. All I had to do was let one of the owners know I wasn't in love with it, and I returned and had the apprentice fix in the next day, I highly recommend Maude, you will have fun there, get an awesome cut and color, and leave wishing you could just hang out and talk about life with everyone there for the rest of the day!! read more

Maude is simply the best. The team at Maude are very high caliber with regard to their trade/abilities but are also a class act in the areas of philanthropy. The Maude team has willingly, respectfully, and gladly provided hair care to the Guest House (hypothermia shelter for those experiencing homelessness) at my church for several years now. Not only do the guests receive a haircut, but they enjoy conversation with people who treat them with dignity and respect. The twenty to thirty minutes invested in each individual (via conversation and hair care) likely means a boost to self-confidence and self-worth for days on end. Finding folks who are willing to engage fully and respectfully with those who have fallen on hard times can be very difficult, but the folks at Maude fit the role well. In addition to being amazing human beings and contributing positively to the world, the ladies at Maude do take excellent care of my hair. Vanessa cuts and colors my hair and Maude even provides free bang trims (and with crazy bangs like mine this is 100% essential). I am so thankful for a resource who is not only capable of cutting, coloring, and styling my hair but also teaches me how to better care for it. Vanessa knows I am always in a rush and am only able to invest so much in my hair - so she guides me to styles that will work well with my life. I have never experienced a team in a salon who cares so much about their community, their customers, and giving back to the world. The gifts they've given our neighbors are invaluable and I am so thankful for Maude's willingness to share with the community. Thanks, Maude team for being you and making lives better across NOVA. Thanks, Vanessa for taming my bangs, being you, and making my life better. read more

I began going to Maude over 5 years go based on a friend's recommendation (the last 2 salons I went too were always canceling appointments and were beyond expensive). The first time I walked in the door, I loved it! The cool fun vibe, super friendly and relatable stylists and staff, and the prices are great! It is so refreshing to consult with someone that is within my age group and has a good sense of style. I have trusted them with my many hair transformations over the years...very long to a bob, super blonde to auburn and brown and back to dirty blonde, my naturally curly hair to styled straight, up do's or down and styled...they can do it all! I have been to several stylist and have been very pleased with everyone. And the place is very popular with many of my friends (male and female) and coworkers. Kristin is my girl and I love her! I've also been very happy with Celeste, Claire, and Nikki. And although I haven't been to her myself, my friends are also very happy with Ashley. So, if you need a cool and affordable place to get your hair done (and love it) where you can relax with a drink and great conversation, Maude is the place! read more

I absolutely LOVE Maude. I honestly have stopped going to salons due to the fact every single one has complained about how curly and long my hair is and how difficult it is to straighten my hair. I always end up getting more hair chopped off than I asked for. At first I would go to Maude to get my amazingly unique feather extensions put in, and picked out feathers they had to offer ( which was a variety of beautiful feathers). I have had them put in by several of the stylists there. All which have been more than kind to me. I am always offered a beverage, and asked to have my coat taken and placed somewhere out of my way. And to add that their salon has a touch of creative style to itself. You MUST see for yourself! Finally I had the courage to get a hair trim, my first in 5 years! Kristin cut, layered, and styled my hair, and placed my feathers back into my hair. She did a FABULOUS job! I couldn't be happier with the hair cut and she could even straighten my curly hair!!!!! no complaints! One more thing, all of the ladies at Maude have beautiful hair!!! they do a wonderful job there and I recommend this salon to everyone!! read more

I was a little skeptical to try this salon as they haven't received the best reviews but I had a friend recommend it so I figured it was worth a try. The first thing I noticed is that receptionist was not very welcoming. When I walked in, I told them I was checking in for a 3:00 appt. with Val. The first thing she said was "okay, you can go put on a smock." I told her that this was my first time so I didn't know where they were. She said 'okay, I'll be with you in a minute.' It immediately made me not excited for the experience. However, as soon as I met my stylist Val, I knew I was in good hands. She was amazing!! She listened to everything I said and matched my color perfectly. I went in with longer hair and wanted to go shorter (which I was a little nervous about) She took off a little at a time and let me choose if I wanted to go shorter. It was so comforting to know it wasn't going to be something drastic. Overall, it was a good experience and like I said...Val was awesome!!! I will definitely be back to see her :-) read more

I am new to the area and went to Maude for a hair dye and cut, it was hard for me to go because I've been going to the same stylist in MO forever, but the experience at Maude's was worth it! I talked to the receptionist, Mary, who was very friendly and helpful about what I wanted and she recommended I use Madison for a hair dye/cut. When I went in tonight I received excellent service and everyone was attentive, I received not one, but two glasses of wine and everyone kept asking me if I needed anything. Madison did a wonderful job on my hair and really listened to what I wanted, the color/ highlights and cut turned out great! I also really enjoyed Val, she was really personable and did my root color. (plus we both have curly hair, so we had that to talk about). Since I was a first time customer, I received 20% off my color, which was great. I booked my next appt with Madison and am very glad I found such a great salon! Next time I'm going to check out their cute accessories collection as well! Thank you Maude! read more

I was just leaving Maude's tonight, and complimenting Kristin on yet another great cut, when she told me about this site. I couldn't believe the negative remarks! I've been going to Maude's since I moved to the area three years ago, and I absolutely love it there. The owners do an exceptional job training stylists, many of whom were professionally trained prior to joining the salon. First time I walked in there I asked for a trim. After a careful consultation, one of the owners talked me into a new style...and my "hair life" has never been the same since! I've never had anything but friendly, supportive and professional care from Maude's entire staff. They are a civic minded, talented group of professionals, and are worth every penny they charge. I always get asked about my stylist from friends and co-workers, and they all agree: you get what you pay for! I highly recommend Maude's to anyone who's looking for an atmosphere with no pretense, and a sure bet of walking out with a great style! read more

I have been going to Maude for over three years now and am thrilled with salon. I love all of the stylists, and am always happy with my hair when I leave! Claire and Lauren are some of the best stylists in the area, and are a steal at the prices charged. They humor by frequent style changes from short to long, bangs to no bangs, blonde to brunette, etc with great styling advice, hair health tips and enthusiasm. They explain what/why/how they are doing, and only suggest products I really need (i.e., splurge on the name-brand conditioning mask, but regular hairspray is okay, don't blow dry your hair on the hot setting, use medium or low and even the welcome advice, 'no, that won't look good, how about this instead..') I have recommended Maude to everyone know and always look forward to my next appointment. After all, what beats a little pampering and catching up with your stylists while drinking a complimentary glass of pinto grigio?? read more

I am not sure about these other reviews, but I have been going to Maude's for years and there is a reason. Quality, service, uniqueness and community. When I read some of those other reviews I immediately think of the previous salon I used to go to before Maude's. The one the owners wisely ditched and started Maude. I have never had bad service. In fact, from the front desk to my stylist - everyone is polite and friendly. It's kinda like visiting a familiar, community place where we all know each other in varying degrees and it is warm and inviting. That being said, the cut and the color are most important. I have never left Maude upset or frustrated. In fact, I have gone in, on a whim (never good when dealing with hair), and Vanessa Rose has talked me 'down'. All I know is I like being there, I feel comfortable and welcome and best of all, people compliment my cut and color. Enough said. read more

I was very excited about trying this salon! I thought the salon itself was adorable, hip, urban, and most of the stylists were very friendly to me...except MY stylist. I had to wait 15-20 mins even though I had scheduled an appointment. No one apologized for the wait... I was wearing a smock, but because of carelessness of the stylist several large globs of color went splattering on my expensive jeans. Again, I didn't get an apology or even a tissue to wipe it off. I wasn't thrilled about my color and it seemed like the cut and blow out was a "rush job". In the end, my hair looked OK, but I doubt I would pay over $100 again for such an experience. Especially when I have to buy new jeans now...Not sure if I even want to try again with another stylist at this place. In my opinion, I would try to avoid Kristin if you want to feel like someone is actually interested in you or making you look your best. read more

I read all the reviews online, and saw that for first time customers your haircut was free. Being new to the city I figured I'd give this a go seeing it's hard to find a good stylist and if they are guaranteeing a free cut, then they obviously have something to offer. I usually get a half head of highlights because I like the underneath to be dark, but the stylist said that she wanted to do the entire head, make it blonder and more natural. I liked what she did to my hair, and when i went to pay.....$360. I don't understand how a free haircut and highlights adds to $360. Of course they "forgot" to deduct the free haircut after I said something...and then it was $260. I still don't understand how it's $260 for a highlight but they assured me that it was. Unless they charged me for the highlight, the shampoo, and sitting in the chair for two hours. read more

HANDS DOWN the coolest salon in the area. The least pretentious and most comfortable, funky, chill atmosphere i have ever experienced in a salon. I have been going to Maude for over three years and I have gotten more compliments than I have ever gotten in my life. From the minuite you walk in the door to the second you leave the customer service is awesome!! Emily at the desk always takes good care of me and never lets me forget to book my appointments. Of course, the most important thing here is the hair in the entire time i have been coming here i have gotten the best color AND cut . I can always guarantee that my stylist will have a new idea for me everytime I sit in her chair! I will forvever reccomend this place to everyone i Know! (I keep business cards in my wallet!!) TOTALLY worth the drive no matter where you are coming from! read more

I have had too many bad hair cuts to count on all of my fingers and toes. I first saw Kristen when she came recommended by another short haired friend (short hair is a totally different ballgame than long). I was trying to get a horrible cut fixed (so much for taking my husband's recommendation on a hair dresser), it was so bad that I think my six year old sister could have done a better job. Actually, I've seen her do a better job on herself. Anyway, Kristen actually listened to me when I told her that I have curley/wavey hair even though it was straight when I walked in. She fixed the catastrophe created by the cheapo husband-recommended place, and pointed me in the direction of some good, albeit horribly expensive, hair products. The products were great, my hair looks great, my wallet.. not so great, but totally worth it. read more

I love going to Maude!!!!! It's like an urban Steel Magnolias- I feel right at home when I go in for my appointment. Lauren always gives me an awesome cut and color and I get OOH-ed & AAH-ed over by my husband and everyone at work the next day! The salon is very fashion forward and the stylists are always going to the "creme de la creme" of color and cutting workshops in NYC. The owners- Vanessa Celeste & Tina also give back to the community by supporting Reston Interfaith with their "No Mother Left Behind" campaign. This year they collected 200 beauty bags for local mothers in need. They also do Relay for Life, Helping Hungry Kids charity drive, support a local "no kill" shelter and countless other wonderful things. In 2011 Maude was named Best of Reston honoree for best small business leader. Go Maude Squad!!!!!! read more

I go to Kristin B. at Maude. If she isn't available I go to Nicky. BOTH are great. We actually have 16 people in our circle that go to them. Mothers, daughters, daughtesrinlaw, close friends etc. Knock wood, no mistakes as yet. Very good communication, and much cheaper on "those days" than going to a Psychiatrist! Very good listening. Very good spirit, I like the funky dressing and get lots of fashion ideas also. Tatoo art is prevelant but somehow appropriate in that frame work. Attention is always focused on you the client, no chatting in the "work/design" area. Love the birdcage tipping. Lots of points for purchasing products also. I too use to dread, now I sit back, have a beverage, and actually I have fallen asleep. You definitely get what you pay for! Sandy Belsley read more

Cienna from Maude does an excellent job with eyelash extensions and brow waxing. It was my first time getting extensions. I was preparing to wear them for my daughters wedding. She made me feel very comfortable and explained the process to me. She is extremely gentle. I didn't even feel the lashes being put on. She asked good questions and kept good notes on the computer. I bought a series of 4 re winks and would come in every two to three weeks for re winks. As a mother of the Bride, I looked forward to relaxing while having my lashes put on. It helped to relieve some of the stress in planning a wedding At times I fell asleep, to wake up to beautiful lashes I received many complements from family and friends at the wedding. I would highly recommend Cienna read more

this salon is every girls dream! to start off - the decor is amazing! It has a modern/soho vibe. Its a great escape for any women or man to get away for an hour or two! My haircut was on point. The color was great - they use Redken coloring. And the price was way less than i was paying at a few other salons. Ask for Kristina. She is great! I have had my hair cut, colored, and highlighted by Kristina. Love me some Maude. Oh and every time you get a service or refer a friend.. you get points. The points add up to dollars super fast and the money can be used on hair product! Its like getting free shampoo every 2 or 3 visits! If you book your next appt before you leave you get like 10% off the appt you book! Maude is the best salon. GO TO MAUDE! read more

Cienna is wonderful !! I have been getting eyelash extensions done for the last five months. Cienna explains the entire process to you, so you know what to expect. She is very gentle, I am completely relaxed during the process. The best part is my eyelashes look awesome, and I do not need to wear mascara at all. If you listen to Cienna, she will tell you the best way to take of your lashes, so they will last. I buy the 4 re-wink package, and re-lash every 2 to 4 weeks at a good price. I have found that purchasing the Longer Life Sealer really helps keep to my lashes on longer. i have had lashes done before by other people and no one does a better job than Cienna !!

I've been going to Maude Hair Salon for about 5 years. Ashley and Celeste are fantastic hair stylists - have always left the salon feeling like a million bucks and loving my hair - cut, color and highlights. The energy at Maude is great and being a hard working Mom, it always feels good to come to Maude and get pampered and I always feel like a do. I love the energy here - good music, complimentary refreshments, plenty of good magz to read, stylish contemporary decor....As a bonus, I like giving my $$$'s to a company that has a strong belief in philanthropy - they always seem to be doing something for our community and helping out those who are less fortunate.... read more
