Went in for my first haircut a couple days ago! The staff was SO nice. It was such a relaxing experience. It's nice that they have the massage, hand treatment and quiet room for everyone, no matter what you pay. They are also great because they work with everyone's budget. They have different tiers, $15, $30, $40, etc. so it was really easy to work into my budget. Maven is a lot different than any other place I've been to. The hair dressers don't have their own stations, which was strange to me. I'm used to places that feel more like you're at home. Even though Maven was a relaxing experience, it still just felt really uptight, if that makes sense. I may try it again in the future, but I feel like it might just be a one time experience for me. read more

Could not be more annoyed right now. I went in there naturally very blonde. All I needed was for them to fix my "money piece". Told her to leave my naturally bright blonde but just to fix my bangs, and that I have a black tie dinner in 4 days... I left with my whole head totally ashy, washed out, dark blonde- ish... which, by the way, I still have no money piece to. When I told her it was too dark she told me that I could schedule an appt in 3 months to add more blonde back to it. Then she proceeded to charge me $250. I will not be back. read more

Maven salon is great, as long as you're completely satisfied. However, if you're not and you ask for a touch up a day later they will ignore your texts & try anything to get you to not come back. I finally got them to give me a follow up appointment (an hours drive) @ 6pm. When I got there I wasn't offered coffee, water or anything. I was received with looks of disgust, like a pack of she devils. I was told my hair is exactly the color I wanted. I was told there was nothing they could do to "make me happy". How presumptuous of them to think they know what would make me happy. I was escorted to the door with a promise of a call from the manage and a refund, (yeah right). Two days later, no call & certainly no refund. This is one of those places that's run by snotty nose little bitches, and if you don't fit that mold you're not welcome. read more

What would I do without Mallory and Lacy Maven is so beautiful and has a great layout with comfy and bonus amenities (hello neck massage in the calming wash room!). Mallory had vision AND execution, keeping me happy and involved in every step. I wanted to lighten up my natural blonde hair and did in some Barbie highlights... mission accomplished! Mallory shaped me up with a razor cut and face framing while Lacy gave me a beautiful blowout with some soft, beachy curls. I will be a client for as long as I live here! I can't thank them enough read more

Went here for a haircut, loved my hair cut. I went back for my hair color and Katelyn ruined it. It was striped and all different color. I asked the salon for a refund they said no. See for yourself. I want my 240 dollars back. read more

Very expensive, good cut. Nice vibe, a little industrial and open so you see everyone else

Overall amazing experience amazing service. Super relaxing and great place. Washing room is super relaxing. Good up to date hair styles and knows the trends. read more

Very very expensive. I got the feeling that regardless of what she did it cost $315 each visit. It's all about the money and nothing to do with the satisfaction of the customer. If you're looking to pay a lot of money but get nothing you've asked fo, than this is your place. read more

Pricey for the experience of the staff. It is Lynchburg, VA. And they charge more than my experienced stylist/colorist of over 30 years in high rent Cambridge MA. I also saw someone, another more experienced stlylist in Sterling VA who charged clise to the same. I have short gray hair and ask for partial ash blond highlights on top and use a demi permanant on the bottom half and it costs over $200, i believe $230, and thats before a tip! I like to tip at least 25% but at those prices its hard ti afford. I go every 4-5 weeks and only asked for haircut and toner every other time and it was still about $160. Really liked my stylist even though her experience with color and creativity was fair im fine with that because i could tell she wanted to learn and improve. I feel badly im seeking out a new more experienced and more reasonably priced salon, but i have a real problem spending that amount of money in a town where the cost of living is souch lower than the other locations ive lived in and had my hair done on a regular basis. Also, these other salons had additional.services like waxing, threading, facials, etc and they really dont. They will.wax but nomdifferent than what you'd do at home. If you are young, habe long hair, want to experimemt with bright colors and need a place to get your hair done for a formal or wedding, i say go for it! But to be a regular client. Unless you only go a few times a year or money isnt an issue and you dont mimd spending more than what it is worth, go.for it! read more

In short: the best hair experience I've ever had. The employees are career hair stylists and their mastery shows. I've had my hair done by three different professionals at Maven over the past year, and find myself consistently impressed with their level of expertise and ability to know exactly what I want as I vaguely gesture at my head spouting references to celebrities and crayon colors. The atmosphere of the salon is warm and welcoming, not overwhelming at all. They have lockers for my jewelry and bags and offer complementary water, coffee and cookies. Their ability to work within a budget is a blessing and it is never at the expense of quality. read more

Katelyn is my girl! She always clarifies what I want if I decide to change it up and I trust her fully. Even when she took time off to have her baby she left me in capable hands with a detailed account for her fill-in to follow. It is expensive but I feel it's worth it for a fantastic job well done EVERY time- no nervous thoughts while in the chair. They will also tone the heck out of your blonde so it's never brassy and can do in 2 hrs what most salons would take double the time to accomplish since I have long hair. Great snacks and conditioner massages are just another added bonus. read more

I just moved here and was nervous to do anything with my hair since I had such a great stylist in California and I have a lot of hair. Called for a last minute appointment and they found space for me. When I got there it wasn't rushed at all, everyone was really friendly and I was offered water, coffee or wine. Perfect. They asked all the right questions and my hair turned out amazing! Even got a paraffin hand wax, head massage and face rub in the process. Would refer them to anyone. read more

Maven Salon - Before and after. Exactly what I was looking for. - Hair Salons Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

I am VERY picky with who does my hair and what products they use. When I moved to Lynchburg I found Mallory at Maven Salon and have never looked back. 1) Quality staff: Mallory is my go to stylist for cut, style, and color. I can show her a picture and let her run with what works best for my features and have not been disappointed. I get compliments daily on the cut and color. When Mallory was out for maternity leave I was taken care of by Deana who is also a wizard! 2) Quality service: all of my appts are booked out well in advance which is great for my schedule. I am offered a complimentary beverage (coffee, water, tea, wine). I usually also get a paraffin treatment with hand massage followed by a relaxing shampoo. I don't have to worry they take care of everything. 3) Commitment to guests: I brought a friend in once from out of town, without notice. She was going to wait for me and then we were going to dinner nearby. Katelyn had an opening and completed a cut and color for my friend who was ecstatic. Katelyn also worked her magic on my MOM when she was in town for vacation (on short notice). Without a doubt I would recommend this salon to anyone and everyone. The staff are also on the cutting edge of continuing education. Other services: facial, eyebrow waxing, and even my husband's beard trim read more

Coming from NYC, I wasn't sure what to expect. AMAZING salon experience. Katelyn is fabulous. That's an understatement. My friends said it was the best cut and color they have ever seen. It usually takes me a second to get used to drastic hair changes. Not this time. Love at first sight. Also, the dark room for hair washing and the hand massage was a lovely touch. You must try this salon and ask for Katelyn! :) read more

Maven Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

Everything was fantastic from the moment I walked in! The shampoo and massage was so nice, the atmosphere was clean and open, and the staff was great! Micah did an awesome job, and I love my haircut! Will definitely be coming back. read more

First time visiting Maven Salon. The staff were friendly. They have lockers with keys so I didn't have to hold everything in my lap. They have a spa-like room to wash your hair with ocean sounds and it was so relaxing. My hair dresser was Paige viar. She provided information about products I could use and did a great job with my very curly hair! read more

The salon itself was very nice. As a first time guest, they offered a free warm face towel, as well as a free paraffin hand wax. The environment was very professional and welcoming. However, I was scheduled with Mallory after my original stylist was unable to come into work that day, and the end result was NOT so nice... unless an uneven, choppy, 2005 "can I speak to a manager" mom haircut was what I was seeking. Noooot so much the case. Perhaps this woman should pursue a career in architecture because it looked as though she built some stairs into my haircut.... and to think that she is considered on the "higher end". I would hate to see the job that the "less experienced" stylists do... she ignored what I said when I attempted to tell her how I wanted it styled, and she straightened it despite my wearing my hair naturally curly every single day. Overall, my college roommate has done a better job than this "certified professional." Needless to say, I will not be returning & I would advise you to do the same. read more

Maven Salon - viewer discretion advised. - Hair Salons Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

I have gone to maven salon twice. My first time was great. Great color. Nice cut. A little bit on the pricey side but overall pretty happy with it. So I decided that I would like to go there again for some fresh color and a desperately needed cut. The interesting thing about this place is that they price your cut based off of the stylist's experience, but I believe I paid the same price every time (for a mid level experience stylist to the owner)?? However, this second time I could not tell the difference between what color i came in with and what color i left with. She only cut about 2 inches from my hair and my hair seriously needed some more than that. So here I am, almost $300 later, with a mediocre cut and a MEGA lived-in balayage. read more

I've had two cuts here, both really great cuts! The staff is super friendly when you come in, and throughout the entire stay. My stylist, Elizabeth, was easy to talk to and my haircut is freaking awesome. I couldn't be more satisfied. read more

I'm so happy to finally have a salon that I love going to. Maven is hands down the BEST! From the moment you walk in you're treated like royalty. Everyone there is so friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Whether you're looking for a quick trim, a pop of color or a complete makeover, they've got you covered. If you're looking for a new salon, Maven is where it's at! Oh, and ask for Katelyn!! read more

Maven Salon is what you would expect from a NYC salon but found here in Lynchburg! They carry and use Paul Mitchell products. All the staff are true professionals and exude it through the whole appointment process. Paige is my stylist and I would recommend her to anyone. Pamper your yourself, friend or loved one by giving Mavon Salon your business. You will thank yourself for the wise decision later. read more

Actually I've gotten many high end spa facials for about 60. It was just a recommendation to have a place for people to lie down, because it was extremely uncomfortable. read more

Nice place, friendly people. However, I got a simple cut - a trim on the sides and a little off on top. The cut took less than 15 minutes. I'm not sure how a simple shampoo and cut is considered the "maven" cut, which is their most expensive haircut option. I totally wasn't expecting to pay $45, especially since I asked them halfway through how much it would be and was told between $28 and $32. read more

"I moved here from the west coast, where I was used to the best of the best in hair salons. After much researching, Maven looked like the place for me. I nervously called to set an appointment for a cut and color, and by the time the date was set; Drew left me feeling more confident that I'd be in good hands. Two days later; I was in without a wait, and given a full tour of the salon and services by my new stylist, Deana. During my consultation, Deana understood my (picky) concerns, and made me feel comfortable right away with her knowledgeable suggestions, and her warm personality. I wasn't expecting the nice warm paraffin wax hand treatment, but I was told that's complimentary for your first visit, and every time you get color. The shampoo room is relaxing in itself, dim ambient light, quiet and a wonderful scalp massage. If I'd had the wine, instead of the coffee they offered, I probably could have fallen asleep! ;) As soon as Deana sat me down to dry my hair, someone else came over to remove my paraffin gloves, and then massaged my hands and lower arms.   Overall, I was impressed! I was Deana's #1, the whole time I was there, the cut and color were first rate, the salon is so clean, even the brush used to dry my hair was wrapped in cellophane prior to use! Beautiful and safe location, with tons of parking and restaurants within the same block.   Unfortunately, as I was leaving with my beautiful new hair; it was drizzling! Drew walked me to my car, keeping me dry under an umbrella! Too much, right?! Then I realized; they obviously don't overbook, or have people waiting forever in their waiting area, and it wasn't noisy, because although it may be a big salon, they have only four great stylists, and have no more than 3 to 4 clients in the whole place at any one time! No wonder they have time to make you feel so special! These people could teach the west coast a thing or two! ;)     I have found THE hair salon for me, and can't wait to go back!" read more

Paige is an amazing colorist! Her hair cuts are amazing as well, the past few times I've gone to see her she's done a perfect job! Can't wait to visit next! read more

I received excellent service while I was at Mavens. I attend Lynchburg College and unfortunately got held up there and was subsequently late for my appointment. Even though I was late, Mallory was able to do a great job despite the time constraint. She gave a great head massage while she shampooed and conditioned my hair and made sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable. She took off exactly how much I asked her to and trimmed up my bangs. She was very friendly and professional as well. I would definitely recommend her and Mavens to anyone looking for a great cut in a fun and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Katelyn is wonderful! The environment at Maven is welcoming, professional and friendly. Your time and privacy are respected. You'll definitely leave feeling refreshed and looking great! I also love all their services. read more

Excellent experience. Not only did Katelyn truly listen to what we wanted, but she utilized her expertise for my daughters and I to have beautiful hair. Looking forward to the next hair cut. read more

Katelyn did a lovely job adding some life to my dark brown hair by adding some tasteful but not so subtle highlights and finished up with a clean haircut. I wanted something and she delivered a huge compliment to my appearance. She was very attentive and thorough. The salon seemingly prides itself in professional, friendly service and cuts zero corners. I have paid more for similar services minus the end result. Very pleased with this salon and Katelyn. I highly recommend Katelyn and the experience you won't find in your current salon. read more

Just had a wonderful visit at Maven Salon! I followed Mallory from another salon in town and I'm so glad I made the switch!! She is so consistently excellent with her cuts and styles. The whole experience at Maven is top notch. From the customer service while booking your appointment to the quality final product, I have not found a better salon in town. The hair washing is the highlight of the experience and I don't think anyone could do it better. The dark room, the quality products, and the most comfortable chairs for shampooing EVER leave you relaxed and feeling pampered. This is the place to go for great service and quality styles. I won't be going anywhere else. read more

Absolutely over the moon with the service here. I'm very very particular about my hair and Katelyn was a dream to work with. She took into account all my wants and preferences and gave me a truly gorgeous haircut. I really can't say enough good things about this place! read more

Deana has been doing my hair for a few years now and I wouldn't ever go anywhere else! All of the stylists at Maven are awesome though and they go above and beyond when it comes to customer service! If your looking for a new salon check Maven out, you won't be disappointed! read more

This was the best hair-cutting experience of my life. Katelyn is super sweet and helpful, and she did a beautiful job with my hair. The salon is such a treat, with a super relaxing shampoo room, and the owner (Mallory) is really fun (and gives a great hand massage!). read more

I've enjoyed going to Maven for over a year now. The only reason I will not be going back is the salon is open only One Saturday per month. Logistically I am unable to visit during the week so when I offer up three available Saturdays in a month and those happen to be the ones they are not open and I am not available on the one in which they are, well, I cannot wait another four - six weeks for a color and cut. I'm not sure what I would do if I had a special event one Saturday night where I would like their services. You definitely need a backup weekend stylist elsewhere which is, unfortunately, what I've been forced to do. read more

I have very straight, blonde hair that can be difficult to cut. I have not had a cut I am this much in love with for the past 6 years. It's stressful going to a new salon but they definitely know what they're doing. I'll be back for sure! My hair is perfect!! read more

They have a "small child policy" that states that if you bring a child under the age of 13 they have to have a adult with them and you do not count as one. When I made the early appointment no one told me about it and I brought my 5 and 11 years old with me at 7 am in the morning. Then they said sorry we can't see you. We travel for my husbands job and I have no one else. read more

after being in lynchburg for 7 years for school, i finally decided to find a new hairdresser here in town. i chose maven because i had heard good things, and they blew me away. elizabeth lobbed my hair for me, and she did a fantastic job. i came as a walk-in and was able to get an appointment that same day since they were busy. they were hospitable and kind and more than just a business. i appreciate the little things they do, such as give you a locker for your things, offer you water and coffee, and make you as comfortable as possible. i will definitely be returning when it's time for another cut! read more

I had an appointment on April 8th with katelyn. It was my first time getting my hair done by a different hairdresser since I was 13, so I was definitely nervous and did my research before scheduling. Maven salon had the best reviews so I thought I would give them a chance. I went into my appointment, and showed Katelyn a picture of what I was thinking (a light blonde ombré with an even amount of roots on the top, and a golden blonde to link the two colors together). We spent 10 minutes discussing what I wanted, and she showed more pictures on her tablet of different things to try. When I scheduled the appointment I was told it would be around the $105 range, and during the appointment I was told that it could possibly get up to $165 depending on how many remixes they had to do. By the time I left my hair looked nothing like the picture and what we had discussed and my total was $195 (no explanation for how it got that expensive). The top part of my hair was yellow and the bottoms were orange with orange streaks down the back. I had no roots near the front, but in the back I had roots almost down to my ears, and it was all very mismatched. While coloring my hair she had someone come over and assist her, and you can see a very clear difference between the patches that each of them did. I actually cried in the chair while I was getting blowdried, and the best they could do was offer to have me come back and pay to fix it in a week. Not even an apology. My hair was so bad I did not want to be seen in public. I made an appointment with my old hairstylist to get it fixed, whom I never should've left in the first place. My visit was a disaster, I'm out almost $100 more than when I picked my price range in the phone, and my hair had never looked worse. read more
