First Yelp review because it was my first time ever going to a hair salon (I'm a recent college graduate and have now decided to graduate from Hair Cutteries) and this salon was praised by several friends so when I moved up here I decided to give it a shot. Laura did an excellent job at giving my hair more life and body without cutting off too much hair, which is usually my deepest fear with trims. Furthermore, I had never had much of anything done to my hair and she guided me to pick a toning treatment with a color boost to change up my hair as well as a restorative treatment to fix this porous ass hair of mine. I'm delighted to now be a client! Wish I could give it more stars. read more

I had a 12:00 appointment for PR at Partners in Gainesville, and this was my first visit. My husband also had a 12:00 appointment for a haircut and was taken right on time. I was asked to wait and ended up sitting there for 30 minutes with no communication or updates at all. No one explained the delay or checked in with me, so I eventually left and went across the street. I understand that delays happen, but not being acknowledged or communicated with as a first-time client was frustrating and disappointing. read more

PR is great. I am a little biased because I'm a. friend of the family so to speak but I have always gotten a great haircut from Chris. His assistant, Lucy, gives an absolutely dreamy scalp massage when she washes your hair. Like so amazing. What I mostly appreciate about Chris is that you aren't there forever. I think we have all had a never ending hair appointment, but every time I go Chris is prompt, does a great job, and I'm out of there in a normal amount of time. Taylor also gave me a great blowout and curl once when Chris wasn't available. All around great! read more

Where do I even start? I've been suffering from post surgery hair loss and I've always had really long beautiful hair. Well that obviously changed and I was in need of a change to help me hide my hair loss. From the moment I made my appointment, I felt very taken care of. Everyone from start to finish was absolutely amazing and on top of everything. I barely waited when I got to my appointment before I was taken back to get my hair taken care of. Chris completely transformed my hair into a cut with tons of body. You're sitting here asking why I care so much about this? When you've looked and felt terrible for who knows how long and you walk out in tears because you can't believe how amazing you look now? Yeah that's why I'm raving about this place! I've never walked away feeling this great after getting my hair cut. In fact that's why I often put it off for so long. This is the first time I've had a cut that made me feel like me again. I've never been taken care of like this before and I sincerely appreciate it. All I can say is Chris and the rest of the team is amazing and you should definitely give this place a shot if you're in need of a hair transformation (or any hair service really!). They will take care of you read more

Love this salon, especially my long time stylist Ryshelle! Great cuts and amazing color too!

I am a huge fan of Shohreh and have been following her Instagram @hairbyshohreh for some time now. I'm usually one who keeps the same hairstyle and I tend to get nervous and uncomfortable when it comes to color, however witnessing Shohreh's talent through her posts gave me the assurance I needed that she was the right stylist for me. She specializes in color and was able to educate me on the process of hair painting and helped me pick out a tone which truly compliments my complexion. The process took a while since I went in with very dark hair, however both Shohreh and her assistant Ashia were more than accommodating and patient with me through the process. The shampoo chairs recline and Ashia always made sure that I was comfortable by placing enough towels under my neck for support. The salon atmosphere is very trendy and fashion forward. If you need hair products, this is the place to be with their never ending supply of hair goodies!! I opted for a post color hair treatment by Kerestase which truly left my hair feeling shiny and so soft even after the lightening treatment. I've been wanting to go lighter for some time and I'm beyond pleased with the outcome :) I've been receiving compliments ALL DAY long and I have Shohreh and her team to thank!! I can't wait to go back for a hair cut and more treatments! I would HIGHLY recommend this team if you're looking for professionals who truly know what they're doing. It was worth the time and certainly worth the drive! read more

PR at Partners is kept clean and organized. Everyone who works there is super friendly and accommodating to all of their customers. Even when it's super busy they take their time! They did an amazing job for a low and reasonable price. I am very pleased with my visit! read more

I have been here to for hair services for a reeaallly long time! It's always a great experience and I love how Rychelle pays attention to detail and hears what I want! I started taking my son (teenager, so not always easy to please). I always leave happy with the results! read more

Been coming to Ashley here for a few years now and will be forever. Everyone's always professional and the salon is always clean too.

I am so happy I found Rychelle and PR at Partners when I moved to the area. The salon is clean and the employees are friendly. I also fine the prices to be reasonable. Rychelle is amazing! I like the fact that she really listens to what I want, makes thoughtful suggestions and explains what she is doing. read more

Ryshelle is the stylist I see and I am very satisfied with what she does. She listens, makes helpful suggestions, and then works her magic and makes the experience great! I have been booking with Ryshelle for at least 8 years and highly recommend. read more

My PR Partner stylist's salon service prices went WAY too high during this whole COVID ordeal. I can no longer afford going here. I found a great hairdresser twice as good and twice as personable at less than half of the PR Partner stylist's new prices, and she doesn't constantly slip in multiple upcharges on top of it. AND my hair isn't dry like straw like it always turns out at PR's. AND she doesn't always insist on cutting off at least 3" of my hair each visit, despite me insisting I'm trying to grow it out. read more

Ryshelle is amazing and I highly recommend her for any and all hair services! She is incredibly knowledgeable and will explain her recommendations in the perfect amount of detail, explain options and walk you through what she thinks is best - not just to look but for the health of your hair. I've been a loyal customer of hers for many years and have done everything from Brazilian blowouts to chopping all my hair off to growing it back and adding highlights, toner - a full range. I trust her 100% and always leave looking amazing. read more

I colored my hair for the first time with Kara and could not be more pleased with my Pink Hair. It was an enjoyable experience, and I left feeling confident and ready to fulfill my Pink hair dreams. I know I will be back! read more

I had been going to the same stylist to get my hair cut for over 10 years, and then she moved to Florida. Luckily my sister recommended PR in Gainesville and seeing Ryshelle. Not only does she do a great job, she also explains everything she is doing, why she thinks it is good for your hair/style, and she is extremely friendly. I highly recommend trusting her with your hair. read more

Wow!!!! I went to Katie For the first time on a recommendation from a friend and this is the first time in years that I have walked out of the salon and felt amazing! Usually I walk out feeling like I just wasted money on a haircut that stinks I could've put up the kitchen scissors and done myself. Not so here... My hair looks awesome !!!I have naturally curly hair and it's so hard to find someone that can take the time and attention to detail to get just the right shape to it and that's exactly what she did. I didn't like the way that we styled it that day but who cares ...once I get home and washed it once it was like having a new head of hair and I have been rocking the curly hair ever since!! Thank you so much, I finally feel like myself and I am no longer hiding behind a hair straightener The pictures do not even do this master cut justice read more

I started going to Ryshelle over a year ago, I'm happy I found her! She really takes the time to listen to what you want and will ask questions or give suggestions so you get the best service possible. She is very knowledgeable, professional and is a kind person, she really cares about her work and making sure you get exactly what you want! If you're in a rut with your current stylist or are new to the area, I highly recommend Ryshelle, you won't be disappointed! read more

Kara is absolutely amazing! I've been going to her for years now and I have never ever been disappointed. Whether it's a simple hair cut or full on balayage, she is literally THE BEST. I promise you, you will never be disappointed. Please book all your hair needs with Kara! read more

Everyone at this salon is very friendly. My stylist is always honest with me about the process and when I wanted to chop most of my hair off she started with baby steps to make sure that's in fact what I wanted. read more

PR at Partners - Gainesville - Love PR Gainesville. Miranda B is awesome, just look at that blend! - Hair Salons Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

Took a chance on another review touting Cara as a wonderful stylist, and I was not disappointed. She was sweet, and took her time listening to me and what I was looking for in a haircut. I lost my stylist that I had be going to since 1998, as she moved to FL recently so I HAD to find a new one. I was very nervous, but believe I have found my next long term stylist. I would highly recommend both her and PR at Partners in Gainesville, VA. read more

This is my favorite salon I've ever been to! I tell all my friends about Ryshelle, who has been doing my hair for years. She is very meticulous as well as committed to making sure my haircut is absolutely what I wanted. Everyone in the store is very nice and the booking system is seamless! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality haircut. read more

Experience was the worst ever in my life. Her name was Lauren Roberts. She came, called for me, and sat me down. No professionalism. She was dressed in tacky sweats and hair in a bun. I should have walked away then. She left me sitting with hair dye for an EXTRA 45 minutes. I almost lost it. NEVER AGAIN. Go to the Haymarket location. SOO much better. read more

It's been at least five years since anyone had cut my hair .. the last time I had anyone remotely professional touch it, I still lived in California. So I was a little bit nervous. Not a lot, because I really did want a change. My hair was just long, with no style, and I'd always just been wearing it up. When I called, the person who answered the phone was very helpful, asking me a few questions about what type of hair I had and what kind of services I was interested in. She recommended Olivia as a stylist, and I was able to get an appointment the same day. The salon is very clean looking and large, and although at first I was a little confused by where the reception desk was (it's hidden off to one side,) once I noticed it, things were smooth sailing. I filled out a little profile/questionnaire type thing, and then Olivia came out and she did her magic. I showed her a couple of pictures of hairstyles I liked, and decided to put my trust in her hands that she would do a good job (in the past, I have said things like "no layers!" to stylists. Their shampoo station is great, with automatic, massaging chairs. When Olivia gave me a scalp massage during the shampoo, I almost fell asleep, it was that relaxing. She overall had a great attitude, was very friendly and kept up a stream of comfortable chatter. I was very satisfied with my haircut, it's exactly the type of thing that works well for my casual style -- but also gives me an image that I actually care about how I look as well. I'll definitely be heading back here for my future hair needs! read more

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this salon! If I could give it 6 stars I would. I found PR at Partners after moving to Gainesville and was instantly impressed by how squeaky clean everything was, how friendly the entire staff was (they always offer me something to drink each time I go) and how perfect the location is too - right in the middle of Virginia Gateway with tons of local shops and places to eat while walking around. More specifically, I have had the BEST experience with Katie! She is the greatest stylist who has ever highlighted and cut my hair and I promise you, I can be extremely picky. Katie is always super sweet and instantly made me feel like her best friend upon my first visit. She even took the extra time after my hair was done to show me how to style and curl my new hairstyle - she always goes above and beyond with her clients! I've referred her to numerous people who continuously go back to her, including my mom who recently finished chemo and Katie gave her SOO much confidence to rock her new short hairstyle - it was the first time she went out in public without a wig in almost a year! I also must say that my shampoo experience is always amazing! The chairs are super comfortable with massage capabilities built in, they never get water in my eyes and always offer a rejuvenating or relaxing head massage - which feels incredible by the way! Amanda is the girl who usually helps out Katie and I simply ADORE her - although I've never had a bad experience with anyone working there! I also want to note that I love how they notify clients of appointments. You have the option of either a) receiving a telephone call the day before, b) a text message or c) an email. This is super convenient especially since I don't always answer my phone if I don't recognize the number and I can easily confirm my appointment via text or email. I HIGHLY recommend PR at Partners (*cough cough KATIE*) if you're looking for a completely enjoyable salon experience! I can't say enough great things!! read more

It's been several months since I wrote my last review and though I will never go back to this salon I wanted to write an update! After having my hair ruined at this salon I went to my regular PR at Partners and had my stylist try to repair my hair! She did the best she could but, the damage was so great that not much could be done without cutting my hair short! Still waiting for my hair to grow! read more

i've been getting my hair done by allison for years and she kills it's every single time!! my go to girl for that perfect shade of blonde and perfect blowout she's the best :) read more

Love my cut and color I got from Jackie not to mention my relaxing head massage. My eyebrow wax was properly the least painless one I ever had. Giving it 4 stars because of it being $$$ and only having 2 waiting chairs when I was told to come early to fill in papers and in the end never given. read more

Go see Carissa! She is an amazing stylist there at the salon and I never leave disappointed. She always listens to what I want while giving her professional opinion. Cut and color are ALWAYS on point! read more

This place is horrible they treat you so badly from the start advice just go to bubbles

Ashley is a miracle worker!! I've now gone to her for everything from cuts and color to updos, and she continues to amaze me every time! She really listens to what you say and makes sure you're on the same page the entire time. I've always hated going to get my hair done because of my experiences in the past, but Ashley makes me look forward to getting my hair done every time! read more

Kara is the best stylist i have ever been too. She walked through all the steps with me with the process of lightening my hair (i have super dark thick hair). Unfortunately i only had a 2 hour time span to get my hair done, what seemed impossible to get so much done in that little time, she managed to do! I'm so happy with the results of my first session with her, she was able to get my hair lightened more than i had originally thought it would in just those two short hours! I'm only giving 4 stars because Pr at Partners is kinda pricey, i paid 190$ for a full Balayage, just color no cut, with a color treatment. But i will definitely be willing to pay that again to have someone work wonder on my hair like Kara did! read more

I've been coming here pretty regularly, and while Margaret is no longer at PR, I've had the pleasure of working with Miranda for all of my hair needs and Carrianne for my skin care. Miranda has yet to lead me astray with my hair care - Kerastase hair treatments, beautiful handpainted highlights, and while I'm in the process of growing out my hair and have not "chopped" it, she trims it perfectly. My hair is happy and healthy and beautiful because of Miranda's good work and great advice. :) I've recently started a skin care regimen, thanks to my husband giving me a gift card specifically for a facial, and Carrianne is awesome. I had an esthetician in Annapolis named Samantha, who was amazing, and I can confidently say that Carrianne is my new Samantha. So far, my skin's been on the mend and is getting better and better with each treatment. She's not pushy with products and has given me great advice so far in clearing up my skin and correcting my hyperpigmentation. You can't go wrong with the people at PR. They're all incredibly nice and knowledgeable about their craft. I honestly think that PR is quite possibly the best salon/spa I've been to in my adult life. :) read more

Chris is the best stylist I've ever had- my hair always looks healthy, beautiful and feels amazing after our appointments. He always knows just what my hair needs- whether it be a special treatment that makes my hair amaaaazing for days or the right way to do color on me. He's the best - and a wonderful and funny person too. Love him and the salon- I highly recommend making an appointment. read more

Feeling disappointed in this establishment- not because of the hair stylist but because of the customer service. I've been a loyal customer of PR for over 3 years in Reston. Unfortunately, my hairstylist of 3 years left PR and moved further away so I decided to give this location a try because it's close to home and the reviews seemed decent. I booked my appointment about 2 weeks ago and asked the receptionist for the stylists prices and she stated $55 for a haircut and $25 for a toner and I was able to verify this on the website under the stylists profile. I left the establishment very confused because the total came out to $126 for a simple appointment. I paid without questioning and walked out very confused trying to add it all up in my head. I decided to call back and ask for a breakdown of the services. The stylist failed to inform me about a $35 treatment that was added while getting shampoo'd. I let the receptionist know that I was orginally told different prices by another receptionist. She quickly said "I'm not sure where you heard that but the prices have always been the same." I decided to simply thank her and apologize for my misunderstanding. I quickly looked up the stylist on the company website and found the exact same price that I was INITIALLY told. The stylist later took it to Instagram to state her prices had gone up conveniently an hour after I called the salon and her prices immediately changed on the website. It's not about the money for me it's simply a matter of principle. Not a trustworthy establishment whatsoever. Ask before you book! read more

I relocated from the SF Bay Area a year ago and the same person did my hair for the past 15 years so for any faithful salon goer you know replacing your hair god/goddess can be super difficult! Found this salon and Carissa via Instagram- I am SOLD! The entire staff is extremely nice even in the midst of a busy day. Carissa is awesome - she gives you options and puts a price to those which I personally appreciate. She and her team are great and have made my hair transition since the move great. I continuously get compliments on my hair at work. So don't walk - run and book your appointment! read more

Love the staff, everyone is friendly and work to make your visit pleasant. Shohreh did an amazing job with color cut and blow out. My hair is thick n naturally curly. She handled it w ease, turned my unruly mane into perfection! read more

Shelby was great but my only complaint is that she did not clean her round brush before blow drying my hair and it was filled with hair that wasn't mine. I also wish they had been more clear about prices. I was a first time client so they gave me $10 off and another $10 to write a review and I still paid $90 So that would've been $110 for a blowout and a trim. I just felt like for the price it could have been more thorough. But I did love the outcome of Shelbys work read more
