I went here on a whim when I couldn't get an appointment at my normal place (Casals) for 3 months. The owner was able to take me quickly, and really listened to what I wanted for my hair. She did a great job on the cut. The ambiance here is a little less fancy than what you might find elsewhere, but everyone was so nice and made me really feel at home. I'll be back, especially when I want to be able to make an appointment without a ton of lead time. read more

Ray is the best stylist I have ever had! He is just outstanding when it comes to hip, feminine, modern pixie cuts, and he's given me dramatic color changes that have come out beautifully. I love him! read more

I am very lucky.... this is the first salon I went to when I moved to Arlington (just walked by and figured I would give it a shot). I haven't had to go to a different place since! Ray is very attentive, and all of the rest of the staff who I have encountered are very nice as well. I should note that I have only gone in for hair cuts. I've been a customer for about a year now. read more

I love this place! Voula is amazing. She always listens to exactly what you want, and gives great advice on your cut or style. The price is also spot on. Remember to bring cash for a tip! read more

i have been looking for a decently priced haircut place in the northern va area for YEARS. i haven't had an awesome haircut anywhere (tried a bunch of local salons and haircutteries, prices from 20 up to 60). i finally decided to yelp it, planning on trying every high-ranked place until i could finally find one. well i didn't have to search long!! i love miracles! :) i got an early appointment, so there was no waiting. the parking is a bit iffy (it's metered and on busy days, it might be hard to find something), but that's okay. voula was my stylist, and she's amazing. she was very VERY attentive to what i wanted, asking me every step of the way how short i wanted anything, where i parted my hair, how far my layers should be, etc. i also had her thin out my hair, and i thought voula did a great job (someone below said that she thinned out her hair too much) -- i think you just need to be specific about what you want. anyway, now i love my hair!!! i'm definitely planning on going back in the future, and i'm going to look into the deal with the haircut + coloring. yay! read more

I've been going to Miracles for 3 years now and I have no complaints. When I first started going, I was only $30. It has since jumped to $49, but that is still WAY below market value. If you go in the evenings, you are treated with a nice glass of wine, which is always a fun treat! I always go to Maria, and strongly recommend her services. Despite several months between visits, she ALWAYS remembers how she cut my hair the last time and what we discussed. read more

This is a really nice, low-key hair salon. I've gone for both hair cuts and blow outs, and the staff has always been very warm and competent at what they do. My favorite is Olympia, the owner--she listens very carefully to what you want and makes suggestions but always in line with what you want. The hair cut price is very reasonable--$35 I think. She also is great at blow outs and will dry it bouncy, straight, whatever you want. When she hasn't been available, I've gone to Ray, who also works at the salon. He's very good as well. read more

Such a bad haircut! I I am disappointed because the reviews were so positive. My bangs are at different lengths and he took way too much hair off. I am going elsewhere to see if my hair can be salvaged. Wish I could say I had a more positive experience. read more

Went in for a full highlight and cut & Maria did an amazing job. Friendly, fun and busy environment with a family-owned touch. I look forward to going back. read more

I have been coming to Miracles since I moved to the area in 2009. My old stylist left and I've been getting Voula to cut my hair for almost 3 years now. I always love the cut and she gives me her honest advice when I'm talking about changing things up. Voula is good at remembering what we talked about last time so we pick right back up where we left off. Nikos cuts my husbands hair and they get along great. He loves getting his hair cut there. They change hair washers a lot and some are better than others but overall I have loved getting my hair done there. read more

Can't say that I'm a "regular" here as I'm not in the area very often, but I've had haircuts done by Niko three times now, and he is easily one of my favorite barbers ever. Haircuts for men run about $29 plus tip for haircuts and a shampoo'ing, which is definitely the most I've spent on a haircut (still a fraction of what it costs the ladies, I'm sure). But money well spent for a haircut that comes out looking perfect every time. read more

Girls...if you're thinking of getting your hair colored here, DON'T DO IT!!! I went to Miracles 2 weeks ago for my first coloring experience. My hair had a lot of blonde left over from the summer since I've been growing it long. I just wanted it all to be all one light brown color. Nothing fancy, no highlights or anything. I just asked for "not too dark and NO RED" Well, fast forward to the end of my appointment when I left with DARK BROWN HAIR WITH RED UNDERTONES. It looked terrible and when I expressed it was not what I wanted, Eli ("Ee-ly") insisted it was my natural color and he didn't know what I was upset about. I waited a few days to see if it got better, but then decided to go back and have it fixed. They were wonderful about fitting me in., but I was disappointed I got the same guy again. He was really rude, again insisting that was my natural color. Eli was rough, rude, and it was clear he resented me coming back. I should've left bad enough alone, because when he finished "fixing it" it was BRIGHT orange. I'm not exaggerating. At this point it became obvious that he knew he was messing it up more, and some of the other girls that work there had to help him out. (They were lovely.) After three hours there, I ended up leaving with orange hair which I am still trying to get fixed. I have since gone to a different salon, and been told that Miracles really messed it up by using a red base for the color, and it will be really difficult to get it back to my normal brown color. Over all, this was a terrible experience. I not only felt like I wasted time and money, but that I was treated really poorly. Even the owner made a comment when I was getting my hair done that, "We can make it just brown, but I guarantee you'll come back BEGGING for highlights." Given that they couldn't just give me a plain brown color, I don't think I'll be begging them for anything. I'm pretty sure the only reason they offer you beer and wine is so you'll be too drunk to notice that Miracles has ruined your hair. I know lots of people have had positive experiences here (which is why I went in the first place) but I strongly urge you NOT to go to this guy Eli if you're getting color done. I gave them one star for the sisters (Monica and Voula, I think) who were sweet and tried to help out their idiot co-worker. Oh, and I should mention that I ended up with a red rash all over my neck and behind my ears from the chemicals where I was scrubbed so hard,. This fine gentleman also gave me a rag to hold over my face while he was working with the chemicals, which were so strong I was gagging. Awesome customer service!! read more

I had a great experience with Maria; she did a nice job and I didn't have to listen to any annoying stories. The deals on their website are excellent - $50 for a color gloss and a cut?!? Very friendly, no fuss. I'll definitely be back. read more

I have finally found a hairstylist in the DC area that knows how to cut a pixie style! Voula is a sweetheart who is talented and capable. She took the time to help me understand exactly what I wanted by patiently listening to what I did not want. She also recommended a most fun and funky color that has me rocking my short 'do! All this for the most reasonably priced haircut I've gotten in years. This family run business creates a fun vibe that has fully ensured my return! read more

Olympia was incredible! His professionalism and kindness exceeded any expectation. My full highlights was perfect. For two years I was looking for someone to do this job well, now I found! read more

Miracles is awesome. Their prices are low, they are very friendly and they do a great job. Ritu is excellent and so is Eli. Although make sure you are specific what you want with Eli or he does more what he wants. It was still a great haircut though so 4 stars! You really can't go wrong with this place. It's the best haircut you can get in this area for the best price. read more

Yes, the price is not nice, either compared with good old days here or the places close by. BUT, the service is really good!!! The best place you can get in this area.:) read more

All I want is for someone to wax my eyebrows who knows what they're doing and keeps them thick, natural, and SYMMETRICAL. I thought I'd try Miracles because of all the great reviews on here. So first I called and tried to make an appointment for waxing. They said their waxing room is "out of commission," whatever that means, and that they don't make appointments for threading. The woman on the phone advised me not to come in today because the threading woman was super backed up (even though she has no appointments...?). I went anyway because that just didn't make sense. I show up, and the guy sitting at the front desk was not the least bit welcoming. He just said "umm, can I help you...?" with a really worried look on his face. I told him I wanted my eyebrows threaded. He looks over to the girl who does the threading and gave a "PLEASE" kind of look. He then sent me over to her. She was the most unwelcoming, unfriendly person. I honestly felt like the biggest inconvenience to her. No "hi how are you, have you been here before, what would you like done, how do you like your eyebrows?" Nothing. Not a word. She also had me sit in a haircutting chair. Didn't even get to lay on a table. Just had to lean WAY back in a chair that was not made for leaning back in. Incredibly uncomfortable. And to top it all off, she did a terrible job. My eyebrows are too thin and uneven. I'm not sure how this place has such stellar reviews on here, but I had a horrible experience. NEVER GOING BACK! read more

Awesome! I went here based on the Yelp reviews and I was not disappointed....I will keep coming back. Maria is awesome, a wonderful person, did a great job on my hair. Reasonably priced, family business, we need more places like this in Arlington. read more

I'm going to average out my two experiences at this salon. Olympia, the owner of Miracles, was so sweet and offered to fix my hair. She was attentive and accommodating, so I would highly recommend getting your hair done by her...not sure if that's always possible, but I feel much better about the salon as a whole. She does a mean peek-a-boo highlights and apparently taught a course on it about six months ago, so the stylists should know how to do this if you're interested in this style. It was exactly what I wanted, and I love the way she did it. Thank you so much again, Olympia! read more

I only went here to get my eyebrows threaded but the lady did a great job with that. Unfortunately, I come from Texas where I only have to pay $5 there and at Miracles I had to pay around $12-15 (can't remember which one it was). But, the lady did a good job and the place is near a metro so I can't complain TOO much. I'd definitely go back to get some other things done. read more

Olympia gives a great consultation and was able to beautifully correct my hair color. She is personable and professional. The only reason this isn't a 5 star is that the shampoo girl does not give a great shampoo. Scalp and neck massage should be, in my opinion, part of every true salon experience. That's not enough to keep me away, though! Thank you for fixing me up! And thanks for the great Groupon deal! read more

I totally love it here. During my time in D.C., I have frequented about 5 different salons, ranging in price for a haircut from $30 - $150. Miracles is by far the best, and the most affordable! Everyone there is very friendly and welcoming. Maria is WONDERFUL and takes the take to make sure she knows what you want before she begins.I was very pleased with my haircut and it was exactly what I asked for. Maria is very precise and truly wants to make your hair perfect. I highly recommend this salon! read more

I went here because I was looking for a place to get my haircut that was conveniently located (right by Rosslyn metro) and was not going to cost me a small fortune. They gave me a great cut, especially for the price. Nothing spectacular, but no surprises either. read more

I used to love this place. Then they raised the prices 63% overnight. Before, it was a good (not great, but not bad) cut for the price, 3-4 stars. At the new prices, totally not worth it, thus the 1 star. I know the economy is bad (for me too though!), but at these prices, they're putting themselves in competition with the real hair salons, and I might as well go elsewhere and get a better cut. Check the dates on the reviews before you make a decision with this one, price matters. read more

I absolutely loved the place! The quality of my cut and the price (45 USD) were unbeatable! I tried many places in Clarendon and was always disappointed but now thanks to my friend's recommendation discovered a true miracle. My stylist was Ilie and he did a terrific job! I also hate small mindless chit chats during the cut and he did not bother me with any pointless questions Will definitely go back! read more

I was getting a partial highlight and the colorist did not listen to ONE word of what I wanted. When I showed up he was sitting there with the color ALREADY MIXED - I asked him why he mixed the color before we had a consultation and he just cut me off and said "no - this is what you need - you'll look beautiful!" I was looking for actual professional and thoughtful feedback and his answer to everything was this abrupt "you'll look beautiful!" every time I tried to talk about what I was looking for. I explained I wanted soft highlights with some lowlights (which I didn't get), I wanted a softer blond color (which I also didn't get - because he had clearly decided for me what I was getting before a word of discussion), and I wanted a nice blend of color at the roots (instead of a solid line so when it grows in, it's not as much contrast). I got NONE of these things - only that, of course at the end, according to the colorist, "it looked beautiful!" And it didn't. It was this brassy blond - WAY blonder than I wanted - it was ONE color - and of course, it had a very solid line application at the roots. I can't wait until 4 weeks from now to go somewhere else and not have this trashy blond hair anymore!! read more

I go to Elie on a regular basis for a cut and color. He is AMAZING! I have very thick, curly, crazy hair, and he is able to make it look gorgeous. And he'll blow dry my hair straight, and even if it's 80% humid outside, it stays straight. Worth every penny and more. The only thing I'm not too wild about is that the woman who usually washes hair in the back doesn't seem very experienced. A couple times, I've left the chair feeling like I just went swimming. read more

I've been to Miracles several times before and always enjoyed the salon. Great shampoo, good price for a haircut. This time, I got Mike, and he was fantastic. I did not have to give a lot of direction, which was great for me because I seem to have trouble explaining what I want with my hair. Mike could see it. Thinking about having my hair colored here next. Just a consistent level of quality without a crazy price tag. read more

I'm not really sure what to say about this place -- I wonder if maybe I visited on a bad day, since all of the other reviews are so glowing. I'll start off with the cons, and end with the pros. And, at the outset, I'll note that my "cons" are totally customer specific, and might not be problems for anyone else. CONS: - When I walked in, there was LOUD techno/dance music playing, no other customers in the store, and all the stylists just sort of sitting around doing nothing. The music was super annoying because I like to relax while I get my hair done, and just couldn't with the loud music (sometimes with vulgar lyrics). - While I was getting my hair done, the stylists that weren't working were loud, sometimes yelling at each other -- it seemed kind of unprofessional - My stylist didn't inspire a lot of confidence. While the final product (as I note below) was quite good, he just didn't seem highly capable. He kept on coming over trying to match my hair to a color chart, and when he did the highlights, it didn't seem like he'd done a lot... he just wasn't smooth, and as a result, it took longer and kind of hurt my hair because he was pulling so much. Same thing when he took the foils out -- just pulled so hard on them, I actually winced a few times. - the salon is a little dingy/dirty, and the guy in charge (I think I heard him say he's the owner's son) would just take a blow dryer and blow the hair on the floor into the center of the salon after each haircut, and then leave it for the hair washer to sweep up. a few times, he blew the hair directly under me, and it got on my purse, and was still there when i left, which I thought was kind of gross. - the blow dry I received was not the best. First of all, it hurt. Second of all, my stylist (I think his name was Hal) piled on a lot of product at the end, which I don't like. (Not a big deal since obviously this washes out immediately, and I didn't say I don't like hairspray). I'm not sure if all of these "cons" exist all the time. They did mention that the owner and most of her family were in Greece until September, so I don't know if they relaxed the rules of the salon for themselves while she was gone. - My hair did not turn out how I asked. I said I wanted "blonde highlights" and a "layered cut with slight angling at the chin". I got blondish and red highlights, and no angling of the hair. - There wasn't much of a consultation. My stylist didn't suggest options or ideas, which, while not major, kinda bummed me out. - I found it kind of weird that there were employees having wine/beer while I was there. They offered me some (after asking if I was driving) which I guess was nice, but I don't know. I'm sort of a little more straight laced and found it unprofessional. PROS: - My hair looks good. Even though it's not what I asked for, the color is really pretty and natural looking on me, and the cut is well done. On final product alone, I'd have to say, I would go back. - The prices are insane. $130 for a haircut and what I'd consider a VERY generous "partial highlight" is an abnormally low price for this area. - the location is great. 2 1/2 blocks from Rosslyn metro. - the online booking is a nice feature, and they were quick to confirm. - they seem pretty flexible. A few walk-ins came while I was there, and they did do a lot to accommodate them, which was really nice. - The staff is really friendly. I probably won't go back, because this isn't the only place I can get a good cut/color, and I don't mind paying a little extra for better "ambiance". If you don't care about the details I noted above in the "CONS" section, then I'd recommend this place. For the price, you cannot find a better final product, even if the time spent getting your hair done is less than enjoyable. read more

Elie took me in right before they closed. He was the last one to leave! He did a wonderful job on my trim, layers, angle. I went home very happy and will be back again! read more

The owner reached out to me and refunded the price of the haircut. I appreciated her gesture and professionalism.

I agree with a previous review about the eyebrow threading- the girl who does it (Ritu) is very nice, but my eyebrows are uneven and one of them has some empty patches. I did get a same-day appointment, and service was quick and friendly. Overall, however, I'm very disappointed with my eyebrows, especially after having gone to Nitasha at Dupont threading (who was great, and even noticed that my eyebrows are slightly uneven to begin with and corrected the problem). I think that I'll be making the trek to Dupont, despite the time suck, rather than going to Miracles again. read more

This is by far the best salon that I have been to in DC. I walked in with a "hair emergency", after I tried to dye my hair blonde... needless to say, it turned out horrific, and I was in desperate need of a fix. I was able to get an appointment right away. The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere of the whole salon was inviting and comfortable. As I began my conversation with the stylist, he was very attentive, as well as helpful with his advice. Throughout the (long) process, I didn't feel awkward just sitting there in the chair, but instead felt like I was having a chat with an old friend. When he was done, I was more than ecstatic about the result. It was exactly what I wanted when I bought the boxed dye the day before, and ogled the pretty blonde in the picture. What I loved the most, was the the owner (Olympia) was part of the process, and came off as one of the funnest people I ever met. I have already recommended to salon to every girl that has commented on my hair, (and it has been at least ten, and I just got it done today), and will continue recommending it to all my girlfriends. Needless to say, I will be back to Miracles time and time again! read more

I had Eli cut my hair and he was terrific. I have very stubborn, Asian hair that wants to be straight and flat, but Eli did a great job working with my hair to add some shape and texture. I've been getting tons of compliments from coworkers and even random strangers. I'll definitely be back. read more

It was time for a new 'do, so I decided to try Miracles. Ray sat me down, reviewed my thoughts, played with my hair and gave me a wonderful new haircut that I can even style myself! He was ready on time, was friendly and clearly knew what he was doing -- even with my thick, wavy hair -- and gave me an age-appropriate style. All for $30! I paid over $80 for my last cut and it wasn't anywhere near as stylish. I'm a convert and will now talk the rest of my family into switching to Miracles! read more

I've had my hair cut here twice by Maria. The first time I had a cut and highlights, which both turned out great. The second time my appointment was first thing in the morning, and I think Maria was a bit rushed, so I didn't feel as comfortable, but the cut still turned out well. read more

I called and got an appointment 30 minutes later with Hao. He was amazing (see other reviews here). I've had overpriced haircuts for the past two years in DC and Arlington, but thanks to Hao I was genuinely happy when I left. My hair looked great - got tons of compliments. Hao didn't rush and he didn't chit-chat, but he was very engaged in his work. For $30...plus tip. I'll be back! read more

I really like this place. I'm really happy with my color and my cut and everyone is friendly. Nikos did my hair, and he cut my two daughters' hair. It might be more impressive that he made them happy! I really liked that he listened to us, but also explained why he recommended something a little different (like trimming a little more off of my daughter's hair to really clean up the ends). He was right. read more

It's no mistake that the Greeks invented gods and goddesses of beauty. When I found Miracles Salon in Arlington, it was as if the gods had smiled upon me that day (or at least had noticed that I REALLY needed some help in the beauty department) and paved my way across Key Bridge to a fun and friendly salon on Arlington Blvd that changed my life. Miracles is a family-owned (a GREEK family-owned) business where the mother-daughter team of Olympia and Voula--if not the very physical incarnations of Greek goddesses, then darn close--greet you with a smile, maybe a glass of wine, often an open box of chocolates, and a dose of relief that you only experience when you find yourself in the capable hands of skilled artists. Miracles does just what the names says. You come out looking a whole lot better than you looked when you walked in. And if the end result is heavenly, then the experience along the way is divine. They talk to you like you've been in their family since Aphrodite first stepped from the foamy sea waters onto the island of Cyprus. No kidding. These people not only know you the minute you walk in the door, they actually love you the way only family can. And if the customer care is terrific, the services are even more miraculous. I've watched in amazement while Eli and his colleagues work on a head of hair with the focus and intensity of Rodin chiseling a masterpiece. The shop's whole staff is a cast of characters straight out of the best sitcom, where you get to play the role of the good-looking customer. Aaahhh stardom! You have to experience this place to believe it. Go and let them transform you. And if you don't believe in Miracles now, you will when it's over. read more
