Lauren did a fabulous job shaping up the mess on my head from a bad cut I had elsewhere months ago! We sat and discussed it a bit, and she really listened to what I was looking for! On top of being a fabulous hair dresser, she is super friendly - making the whole experience that much more enjoyable! I'll be back to visit soon! read more

Maude - Great cut, with a few curls added in by Lauren! - Hair Salons Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

See all

This is an AWESOME salon. I've been going there for years and recently, my stylist moved and I became heart broken. I tried other salons and found myself lacking the quality I wanted, so I put my big girl panties on and scheduled an appointment with the first person they had available. I was given a gal named Issys and immediately found myself in love with stylist techniques--bonus is that she is also fun to talk to. I've always been picky about who does my hair, but I was amazed and happy with her care that she gave me. She took extra steps, as I was her last client of the day and told her not to worry about styling or blow drying so she could go home. She didn't miss a beat and said while she was starving, she wanted to give me the quality I deserved. I'll definitely be back to see her! read more

I had almost decided to give this place a 'not so good' review because of one receptionist who messed up my appointment and was not willing to accomodate me or even compensate despite her mistake. I landed at the salon for my appt. only to realize that she had wrongly scheduled it for 3 weeks later. When she did not give me any option, i decided to reschedule my appt with a different stylist and come back the next day(And this was the very first time i had stepped into the salon). When i got there for my appt the next day, the receptionist was different, i told her everything that had happened with the earlier receptionist and she was shocked to hear about it. She was very apologetic and couldn't believe my first experience with the salon wasn't a pleasant one. She said she would go and inform vanessa (one of the owners) immediately and she did. While i was getting my haircut, vanessa came and spoke to me and was surprised to know that the receptionist did not inform her about the matter even though she was present in the salon that day! She could have dealt with the situation at that moment itself. Anyway, she was very sorry and even offered to compensate by giving me a generous discount. Well, moving on, i am happy i found this place, the salon is really cute, rustic yet contemporary. Everything in the decor is well thought of, right from the chairs and lights to the little tip holder at the counter. I love going to places which have a character and this is definitely one of those. Talking about the stylist, Ana...she was very sweet, she made sure she understood what i wanted and suggested a haircut that would suit my long tresses. Even after almost finishing the haircut she was willing to incorporate a few changes that i suggested and made sure i was satisfied with the look. I left the salon smiling and looking fabulous. I am definitely going to try their services again! read more

I couldn't be more thrilled with my recent change to Maude (via referral from Bubbles.....meaning I wasn't happy there - 2 locations tried). I only wish I had come here years ago. Vanessa did an awesome job shaping my hair with the first cut on a last minute reservation and today was the fun day of color! She couldn't have been more awesome and patient working with a previous color/highlight job to get me to a better color. Knowing I may need a touch up before the next appointment, she didn't hesitate to offer a walk in for that touch up. I know we will get past needing that touch up, but how awesome to have someone take several hours to get to a great color! I'm sold and agree with one of the other reviewers too...Rachel was awesome too! I look forward to having a hair home for a long time forward and love the urbanesque in the suburbs! Thanks Vanessa and Rachel! read more

I have been going to Maude for about 7 years and will continue to go as long as I love in the area. What's unique about this salon is that you have your choice of stylists based, not only on person, but by level of experience. It doesn't matter which level you choose, though, I have not come across a bad stylist here. The atmosphere in general us fantastic. The staff really make you feel at home. Upon arrival you are offered a beverage and the friendliness of everyone makes you want to stay all day. There is no better salon in the area! read more

Had a great cut from Maude hair salon! I don't remember the name of my stylist but she is a great job cutting it! The ambiance was pretty nice and they offer free drinks :) definitely recommend! read more

Everything about my trip to Maude today was great. The front desk was super helpful getting me in and very friendly. They offered me a drink while I waited. Which was lovely but not even needed, as my stylist Nini was ready for me exactly on time. Nini took the time to ask what I wanted, what kind of time I wanted to spend on up keep, and really understand my concerns with my difficulty hair. My hair isn't easy- its a mix of curl, wave and straight. I showed her a few pictures I liked and she pointed me to what would best suit my needs with the amount of time I have daily to style. She was personable and professional- and most importantly, gave me a cut I LOVE. I rarely leave a salon super happy. I usually feel like I didn't really get what I wanted. This was not the case at all, my new hair cut is way better than I had even hoped for. I have been getting compliments ever since I left the salon. The salon is very comfortable and has a very fun vibe. There are lots of products to chose from, from different brands than you normally see. The wall of magnets is amazing. I've walked by this place a few times, and I'm so glad I finally booked an appointment. It really is a gem. Oh, and I have to say- I felt the price was very fair for the fantastic cut I got. read more

I had a lovely time being taken care of by Val! I came in with purple hair desiring a more natural color for my grandfather's funeral. I wanted a deep red with some more orangeish red highlights (like my Mom's hair!). I had Val look at my Mom's hair (since she was with me) and now I love what she did! My hair is medium long, cost was $113 for the coloring and the tiny trim/layers she gave me. She was so nice and talkative, and even managed to juggle another client while I was still in my last half hour or so of coloring process. I don't think I will ever find another stylist so amazing, I wish I didn't live so far away!! read more

NO! this is not your mother's salon! But what the hell is it? A funky salon with attitude, yeah the attitude you don't want to pay for! I got an AWFUL cut by one of the owners at Maude. Came home tried to style it, one side was longer than the other. I called and made an appointment to return. Upon my arrival I was taken to the chair and the stylist looked and looked and finally said, "yeah, I made a mistake" she starts clipping my hair, it's dry and then looks again and says, okay you're done! I was appalled. No, shampooing and styling of the hair, NOTHING! This haircut cost me $75 bucks, this women came highly recommended for people with curly hair. I've never been treated so rudely and the lack of customer service certainly left something to be desired. She knew that I drove 30 minutes to see her. This place will never get my business and I'll make sure to bad mouth them to everyone I meet. I should known when I was looking around and I didn't see one stylist that had a good haircut going on. You know when you're in a salon and you see stylist cutting hair and then blow drying it or styling it and it just looks awesome! Yeah, that didn't happen here. Don't go out to the sticks for a cut stay in the city tons of places. Edited to add: Also don't express your dissatisfaction in writing! THE OWNER WILL BITCH SLAP YOU WITH CORRESPONDENCE. Guess they think they are puurrfect. Interesting to see people continue to patronize this place after all the bad reviews. Looks like they haven't a clue about customer service. Or the owner(s) don't know about Yelp. read more

After reading the reviews, I decided to try this salon out. First on my list was making an appointment with one of their experienced hair stylists for a haircut and partial highlights (meaning: a rather expensive haircut) and partial highlights. Warning #1: Turn off the volume on your computer before you log in to their site: it plays some loud and annoying song by default so you'd have have to turn in off by clicking "Quiet please" button on the right. Warning #2: Their scheduling system is very poorly and cheaply designed: I tried scheduling a haircut and partial highlights versus partial highlight+hc combined and got a difference of a week between the two selections even though it requires the same amount of time. Warning #3: Prepare to be intimidated by the staff and stylists. When I came in, I was greeted rather coldly like I owed the receptionist something. Not a very good first impression for someone who is willing to spend $200 to get a haircut and partial highlights. Warning #4: If you like your hair done a certain way, forget it at Maude. Your stylist is unlikely to listen, and, eve though they might pretend they understood, it would be done her way. The job was done by one of the owners and I could honestly say that I've had better experience in places like Bubbles. I'm taking my money elsewhere for a more pleasurable experience and better hair styling. read more

I went to Maude at the suggestion of a friend who has great hair. I stopped by here first and read the reviews, and had I not heard about it through my friend, I probably would have canceled, but I'm glad I didn't. My experience was the polar opposite of the negative nellies below. Kristin gave me a fabulous cut and color. All the staff were friendly, offered me tea numerous times and made friendly conversation. I was so happy, I set up my next appointment on the spot. I went from drab hair I wasn't happy with to walking out looking like I had fashion model hair. I'm bouncing in my shoes and I have Maude to thank. read more

I went and got a great cut but not a great highlight. Highlight was not a highlight but turned out to be a medium brown. Went back the next day to get more blonde put in but now it's just this brassy blonde. I've asked 3 of my friends what they thought and they all agreed it wasn't good. I won't be back. Things I look for when going to a salon: 1. That I'm the only one that's being taken care of by the stylist - not having to share my time with someone else. (When I'm paying $200 for a cut and highlight I don't want to feel I've got to compete for my stylist's time not to mention that it's too easy for them to get distracted by taking care of their other clients when I'm in the chair being over-processed or under-processed). 2. Set a timer when you start processing someone's hair. When I went the first time I knew I hadn't processed long enough yet my stylist was busy taking care of another client when this was my time so she had an apprentice (or newbee) take the foil out of my hair before it was even checked. 3. When I do have to go back for a re-do, the stylist should make sure the client is truly happy instead of worrying more about taking care of her other customer and leaving me in the hands of a newbee. Nope, I'm not happy with my hair but I'm not going back for any re-dos either. Why pay more (which I did) with going to a salon where they can't get it right the first time when I can go back to my old salon and pay $30 less and at least know what I'm going to get. Also, the lighting is terrible in there so I couldn't tell what my real color was until I got home so their lighting needs to be improved big time. Yes, I saw some nice cuts come out of there but I want not just a great cut but a great highlight the first time and more importantly it should have been done right (for certain) the second time I went back for the re-do. Take your chances. read more

This is the WORST salon I've ever been to in my life!!! I moved here in 2009 and used Angie's list to pick this place . The "funkiness" didn't bother me, and the prices were normal for where I came from. BUT the complete rudeness, and ignorance of cutting techniques is inexcusable. I would NEVER go back and would advise anyone to rethink going there. They did no know simple cutting techniques (checking the length 2 ways, etc) and I left with a reverse mullett. They did not apologize, just explained that the girl who cut my hair had only had her license 1 yr. Where I come from (S. FL), they don't charge those prices unless they have had at least 5 yrs training (washing, blowdrying, observing) experience in a high end salon, before they get a chance to cut someone's hair. She did a terrible job with the highlights as well. I cannot say enough bad things about this horrible place. read more

I was given the most hideous haircut here. She tried to fix it after I told her how much I hated it but it's still just awful. I made an appt to back on Thursday but at this point I just want my money back so I can go someplace else (where I'm going to have to go REALLY short, exactly what I didn't want to do). I cried all the way home from the salon. read more

Let's be honest, Yelp has a bad reputation. That's why i gave this place the benefit of the doubt that their low score here wasn't earned, but now that I've been there, I know I'll never recommend this place to even my worst enemy. The atmosphere was cool, the place was funky, but the true test lies in the haircut, right? My stylist's name was Kristina and she came off as a really nice girl, but she messed my hair up. Each hair was probably 4-5 inches long and I really came in open to new ideas but mainly for a trim. What I ended up with was uneven hair with jagged, unblended lines and patches of 1 inch long hairs in the crown of my head and the middle of my bangs. You could literally see an uneven line across the middle of my head as if I were wearing a helmet; think bowl cut. It was awful, and I don't know how you can cut that much hair off especially when I wanted to keep the length everywhere except the back. I thought that part of the communication was clear, but now I know that when she said "blend the bangs" she meant chop off 4 inches. She didn't cross check my hair either, but hey, she called it "edgy and different". No, just don't go here. Or at least don't take the stylist I had. read more

When it comes to a personal treat, hair is definitely at the top of most women's list. So why not "treat yo' self" at Maude. As long as you do not take away my appointment. I had not found a good hair dresser since I moved away from NC (and I had a great one there). The lady that did my hair in NC used Paul Mitchel color on my hair and she suggested that I find a salon that uses the same color...so I ended up going to the Paul Mitchel School at Tysons Corner. The first time was just okay, but I couldn't beat the price. The second time was slightly more disturbing, but I let it slide, again in order to give my wallet a break, and then the third time was a disaster. And when I say disaster, I mean disaster! They were supposed to touch up my roots and they made my roots orange. No seriously, orange, which would have been fine, if I had orange hair, or were a clown. But my hair is a light brunette. I got mad, no furious and hysterical( I was going to a wedding in Iowa the next weekend), and they attempted to fix it, and that didn't work. Oh, but you better believe they made me pay for the original appointment and when they tried to fix it. So that place scarred me and I will never go back, I am even afraid to go to Tysons, but that is a whole different Yelp, and don't worry, I will rip them a new one. Okay, back to Maude. I had met an acquaintance at a friends party a few months back who says she works at a salon and is starting to learn about hair. She said she would be thrilled to cut my hair and so I was able to get in touch with her the day of the disaster. She told me she could fix it before the wedding in 5 days and so I came in the next day (on a Sunday). Here is where the love affair began. This place takes a little bit to get to (28 minutes from my old place in Fairfax) and now 45 minutes from DC (yes I still go all the way out there for my hair). BUT IT IS WORTH IT! As soon as exit your car your nose is attacked by the delicious Great Harvest Bread Co. a few stores down...so you must hold back the urge to go there before your hair appointment. The first time I ever stepped foot inside of Maude, I immediately felt at home. The place is so eclectic and painted/decorated so funky. I LOVE IT. I have the same taste in decorations and I just feel at home. Some of the walls are a dark, sexy purple and the ceiling is black. So cool. You check in at the always inviting front desk girl, and she asks you if you want anything to drink. Now, she doesn't just mean water, she means soda or wine. I am starting to really love this place. Any place that offers me wine within two minutes of being there is already at the top of my list. So I cordially agree to some red. She brings me a BAP (big ass pour), and I am immediately greeted by my person. Ever since my first visit, I have not gone ANY WHERE else for my hair. I have had several stylist at Maude, just to try out new people. And I have never been disappointed with my hair. One time my shade turned out a touch darker than expected (I have very pourus hair), but after she blew it out and realized it was darker, she fixed it! All the girls that have done my hair have been so sweet, talkative, caring, attentive and well, just good. I have been using Val for my past 5 visits (at least, I am kind of loosing count), and I will continue to see her. Ladies, let's be honest, our hair takes a long time. Especially if you are getting color/touched up, cut AND blown out. So if you are at a place for that long you want to enjoy it. And I always feel like it is a mini vacation when I go in there. There are tons of things on the walls to look at, the magazines are endless and with so much variety. But my favorite thing to look at are the collection of magnets all over the place. They are on the beams in the middle of the salon, and out front for sale. They are hilarious and I have bought a few. Now, if you are squeamish with curse words, then don't read them, but if you love profanity as much as I do, then you will most likely laugh out loud (literally) a couple times...and don't worry, no one judges you at Maude. My hair always makes me happy. They even make you walk around to different parts of the salon for the change of light, and if you are not happy, they will fix it. Speaking of fixing hair. Rachel fixed my hair that first time I went..you know, when Paul Mitchell colored my hair orange? Yeah, that time. Rachel fixed it and I went to the wedding with a new fun color and no tears in my eyes. And don't worry, I went to Great Harvest Bread Co. after my appointment. Definitely go here, it may be out of the way, but it is worth it. Oh! I almost forgot about the pricing! You will NOT find a salon this nice for the prices you will pay. They are VERY VERY VERY reasonable and going to the hair salon will NOT put a huge dent in your wallet. You can go to some wineries while you are out there...that is what I do. read more

Do not go to Tina if you have long hair or if you have short hair you're growing out. She loves to cut, and not in a good way--I walked away from the chair twice with more than 3-4 inches cut which is a lot for a TRIM and I don't have damaged hair/ends! I made it really clear both times I was growing out my hair. After the second time I stalked down a previous stylist because I couldn't imagine going back to Tina. She is definitely a talented cutter, so if you have a short style go to her. She's also great with side swept bangs. Each stylist has their own price; I was paying around $70 for what Tina will tell you is "stripper long hair". Maude itself is pretty cool. Make an afternoon appointment so you can sip on free beer or wine. Sign up for the e-newsletter before your visit. Sometimes there are coupons for 10-20% off a service. BRING YOUR COUPON. Once I got gypped because I forgot to print it; and even though I was telling her about it, the receptionist wouldn't give me a deal. read more

I would love to give this place 5 stars because I used to come here a lot and the decor is just plain awesome. However, I have to be honest. The first time I came I was with Claire. The first time she did my hair it turned out very good, but the next few times were not good at all and way too subtle. I'm normally entirely too embarassed to tell a stylist if I don't like it and I hate making people feel bad. So I switched and I cannot remember her name for the life of me. When I came to see her I was in the middle of a very rough breakup and told her I needed a massive change and she took that and ran with it...in a good way! She completely transformed me from dark brown to very blonde with beautiful high and low lights. It was exactly what I needed (and it worked because the boyfriend and I got back together and are now engaged!). However, again, the next few times I came in to get my roots touched up it did not turn out well. It came out as some kind of reddish color and I was so unhappy that for the first time in my life I called them and had them do it over again, and it still didn't turn out well. I ended up retreating with my tail between my legs to my old, albeit very expensive, stylist who had me fixed up in no time. Like I said, I really hate giving this a low review but hopefully they will use this to improve. read more

The little known secret about Maude is that Cienna is here doing eyelash extensions! She is sweet, fast, and has the best prices in town. Her little spa room is so comfy and relaxing, and parking on Station St. is never a problem. She will make your eyes pop. Caution: lash extensions are addictive! Fortunately, Cienna will take great care of you and this is one addiction that you can feel good about indulging. read more

I love Maudes. Been coming for 12 years and have seen many of their stylists and never have been disappointed. Love that they serve drinks, great music and great energy! read more

I was VERY excited to find this place and had heard GREAT reviews about this place. The prices were good too and felt you couldn't beat it for living in NoVA. I am extremely picky with my hair and only have had a few stylists touch it through out my life. Moving out to NoVA, I had to find a hair stylist because I was due for a cut and definitely a color. My cut with my stylist (who I will not name) came out beautifully. No complaints there. However, my color was very very disappointing. When I left the salon you couldn't even tell that had just gotten a partial done. (Not exaggerating). I had said something about asking why all my roots were still showing. She asked if I had time to stay later, and it was already after 8 and I had been there for over 2 1/2 hrs. So I went home hoping maybe it was just the lighting. As she was blow drying my hair, she told me it was a salon school???? If I had known that I would have never gone. No offense, I understand people need practice, but this is exactly why. Nope, it sure wasn't. My co-workers even asked me how come I didn't get my hair done like I was suppose to. Regardless, I had called and told them that I needed it redone, because I had just dropped $90 and was very unreleased. Now I am pregnant, so I didn't want to get my hair done more than once before I gave birth so I was trying to go back to a natural color for LESS roots..... well when I came back the owner, Celeste came over and talked to me. She wasn't understanding what color I wanted and was kind of getting an attitude with me, which definitely came as a shock, with being the owner and me being an unsatisfied customer... her exact words were, "well if you had gotten a speeding ticket, do you want the cop to write, blonde or brunette on you ticket?" ????????????????????????? As I looked at her puzzled.... I responded with I JUST DON"T WANT ROOTS? Needless to say, the stylist fixed my hair, but made it a lot more blonde then I wanted... it has been 2 weeks and I can already see my roots, and not only can I see my roots but my hair is very dried out now from all the bleach that was used even though I told them BOTH, the Mentor and the stylist, that I wanted my hair darker to my natural color and now its light.... All I am saying is be careful before you go, If i knew it was a school I would have not gone. My hair is now dry and showing roots and I just lost $90. read more

I had a chronic sty problem for over a year and finally had to give up on wearing mascara and eyeliner. I had been researching other options and *thought* I wanted to try eyelash tint. I was in Maude having my hair done by Vanessa (side note: I am a Celeste lover, but due to a scheduling conflict I saw Vanessa, whom I also loved, but I cannot leave my Celeste!) and asked her about eyelash tint. She introduced me to Cienna, Maude's on-site esthetician, and we discussed options. She listened patiently. Seriously, she listened, she retained, she sympathized, and she responded with a recommendation based on her professional experience. She didn't automatically respond with "yes, let's do tint (because that's what you want)," but instead recommended I go with lash extensions. I told her I wasn't some Hollywood movie star and that seemed kinda extravagant for a girl like me. I WAS WRONG! Lash extensions are the greatest thing ever. Cienna walked me through the process, made recommendations based on my lifestyle (I am big outdoorsy girl and I run a ton), and I listened. I then agreed to try it out and the rest is history. I LOVE THEM! I look like I'm wearing mascara and that's prefect. She has different lash types, thicknesses, etc. Executive? Big party? Working it on the runway? She has the lashes for you! Beforehand she tests your skin to ensure you are not allergic to the adhesives. I have had no adverse effects, just happy giddy ones. Cienna is sweet and efficient. She has a separate little room that has a soothing vibe to it and is quite relaxing (I almost fell asleep during my appointment). I get the Le Naturel, which is a half-set of lashes. They make my eyes pop again. YEAH! I know lash extensions aren't a solution for everyone, but so far I am thrilled. Also, extensions are not cheap, but she offers packages you can purchase that provide savings. read more

My 11 year old loves this cool place. She won't go back the "beauty parlor" we went to before. They cut bangs for free! You can't beat that!

I spent $300 for a trim and barely noticeable purple streaks. They washed out in two days. I could have gotten a trim at The Hair Cuttery and went to Sally's for bleach and purple hair dye to do it myself. Good thing they serve wine or I would have given this place 1 star. Waste of money. read more

The first time I went to this salon I was so scared because I was leaving my favorite hair stylist of 3 years due to a move for a job. The receptionist put me with the owner, Valerie? Vanessa? And I left crying. So many people had referred me to this salon though, so I gave it another shot, and went to Kristen (no, I am not her, nor did I know her before moving back). I love her to pieces. I have also tried a girl she trained, Lauren, who is less expensive to go to, and she was amazing too!! I highly reccomend those two girls - I don't know about the rest. Oh, and if you are of age, you can have a glass of wine or a beer while getting your hair done, which is nice as well ;) read more

Maude is awesome with tons of great hairstylists. I have been going to Celeste for many years now. She is super great!!! She knows EXACTLY what works for me. She recommends styles, cuts or color. She listens to what I do or don't want. She is knowledgable of products and styles. She knows how to style hair. Other hairdressers I've gone to might know how to color and cut, but not style. She does it ALL!!! I have NEVER walked away unhappy. read more

I have been going here since 2004. I go to Tina. She is awesome. The atmosphere and people that work at Maude's make it great. Tina is a pleasure to talk to and is wonderful at what she does. I love how the place is decorated and how the staff kindly gets you a beverage. It is like a mini vacation when you spend a few hours at Maude. Oh, and their magazine selection is so good! read more

I have short hair. Short wavy hair. Finding someone who is really good at and really comfortable with cutting short hair is nearly impossible. I have been to a number of very expensive, very highly reviewed places throughout the area, requesting their "master stylists", and I have never been to any more than once. I am very specific about what I want. Asymmetrical length in the front, left side part, very short everywhere else, choppy and natural - not too clean, no product, no blow dry. Inevitably, they cut the structure of the bangs way too evenly, or I keep having to say "no, shorter" over and over again until I give up, or it will be a precision cut, or they insist on putting product in and blow drying, so I just have to go home and immediate wash and dry my hair to see what the cut actually looks like with my wave. And often times these cuts will take an hour or longer. A few months ago I was eating at the counter in Reston, and the two girls sitting at the bar next to me both had fabulous short hair. I ALWAYS ask anyone with a good short haircut where they got it done. The both told me they work at Maude, that it is a very cool salon, and that I should totally come in. I was really excited about it, and had planned to right away, but then I came here and some of the reviews put me off. So I went somewhere else, got another unsatisfactory hair cut. Then, after letting it grow out for a few months, I decided I should give Maude a shot, so I called and made an appointment with Nikki. The waiting room is very funky and comfortable, and someone came and offered me a beverage while I waited. I was given a glass of chill white wine in a very cute glass. When I met with Nikki I only had to spend a few seconds explaining to her what I wanted, and she understood right away. She got that because of the wave I don't need to blow dry or use product, and that a razor cut will give it a more natural look. She knew where it needed to be short, and how short. She didn't bother pushing any products on me, because she knew they wouldn't work with my hair. I really appreciated her desire to respect my hair over the need to upsell products. And she told me that if anytime in the next few days I was unhappy with the cut to come back and she would fix it whatever way I want. We also chatted through the entire cut and I think she is absolutely fabulous. I left with an awesome haircut and wanting to hang out with Nikki. This is the best hair cutting experience I have had in years, and I will definitely be bucking tradition and coming back to Nikki for my cuts from now on. I highly recommend her, especially to anyone with short hair. read more

I have been going to Maude for 7 years now and I LOVE them. I have always been happy with my hair and color but I also appreciate their customer service. They make it easy for me to schedule an appointment that suits my schedule. The girls are always friendly and welcoming. I recommend them to all my friends and family! read more

Always loved the vibe at Maude. Love the interior design and funky atmosphere. I have used several different stylists and they are all fantastic. I have never left feeling upset about a haircut. read more

Well I have to say my experience is mixed... The first time I went I tried to play it cheap and went to one of their part time fill ins to save a few bucks.... A mistake as the haircut was AWFUL... HIDEOUS and was something I could have accomplished myself while looking in the mirror. I called to have it fixed by another stylist the next day... I fully expected one of the owners to take over as a "customer service" issue... I find out later that I'm lucky they didn't... Maude has a TON of attitude... and I wouldn't in a million years want the owners cutting my hair from what I witnessed while there... she was def. a bit catty but I"m not sure which one it was...... but luckily I was routed to Claire... an adorable little bug who salvaged my maimed hair do. While there I saw Nikki put out some awesome cuts... So I would feel very comfortable referring friends to either one of those gals. Jennifer the receptionist is a delight... but she is just part time... The other one I met wasn't nearly as friendly and certainly had an attitude over the phone. I was always offered soda/wine and refills too... Claire made sure that I got three hot cups of Dunkin Donuts coffee on an early Sat. morning... I personally think they are not overly expensive for the area... a fair price... not cheap... but fair..... although the owners charge more for their services...and the newbies charge less.... read more

I actually brought my 17 month old twin boys to Maude for their first haircut. They have really curly hair and I was afraid a kids place would mess it up so I went all out with a salon. I know Maude isn't typically a place toddlers go for a cut but I was REALLY impressed with the entire staff. From the receptionist to Rachel their stylist to the owner who recommended product. Everyone was really warm and welcoming. Rachel hadn't cut anyone's hair this young before and my boys put up a good fight wiggling the whole time. She did an awesome job on their hair and was totally up for the challenge. I am sure it was stressful but she appeared calm and collected. Can't wait to go back for her to cut my hair. read more

Ive never felt more comfortable going to a salon. Kristin B knows what she's doing and I leave happy every single time! (and no she did not ask me to post this for her) I see clientele of all ages in this salon, men & women, so the "not your mothers salon" thing is very off. Get your color, hair cut and enjoy a glass of wine! read more

I have been coming here since they opened, love all of the women who work here... Great all around!

I love Maude. I've been going to Vanessa for 10+ years. I even let her take my normally blond hair to red and back. I am really shocked by all the negative reviews here. This salon deserves 5+ stars, not only for their great work, but for their support of the community and for women in general. The salon is owned by three female friends -- there is no cattiness, no b*tchiness and it just oozes positive feminine energy. read more

Great salon tried it out despite yelp reviews because it was chosen as Northern Va Mag's best salon. Fun, modern atmosphere with friendly staff. Competitively priced. You can get all the pricing info online as they explain all their policies. If you don't know why different stylists cost more, you haven't done the basic review of their website first. I usually ignore bad reviews that are more than 6 months old, super happy! Lauren did a fantastic job. I will be back! Think I finally found "my spot!" read more

A great salon that does much benevolent work for the community as well as beautifying Northern VA one head at a time! Although I have the type of hair that resembles a pulled out Q-Tip when the humidity is just right I always manage to walk out of Maude feeling like a rock star, no matter the weather. Celeste & Tina have even had the patience to teach me how to recreate the look at home! Cuts that follow the natural rhythm of your hair and natural looking color make me a very satisfied customer, indeed!! read more

I have been going to Maude since the day they opened their doors. Vanessa has been my stylist for a little over 13 years. I love both Vanessa and her shop. Every time I visit, I am treated professionally and personably. I will continue to patronize Vanessa and Maude as long as I live in NOVA. read more

My daughters and I have been going to Maude's for a while now and have always loved our haircuts. Today, my stylist was Anna and she was incredible. She listened to me and gave me what I asked for and more! She is super friendly and made the whole event fun and relaxing. read more

I. Love. This. Place. After 5 years of getting haircuts that aren't quite what I want, or just are straight up bad, I am so happy I found Maude. The staff are super nice, they offer you wine (!!!), and the decor is amazing. I had my first haircut there today with Madison, and she was the best! She took a good amount of time looking at the picture I brought and talking about how she would approach that cut on me, and was just all around really cool and really nice. I have never been this happy with a haircut, and it was worth every penny! read more
