Carissa came highly recommended and she lived up to her reputation. I loved my hair and will be coming back to see her as long as she'll have me! Nicole her assistant is equally as awesome too! read more

Ryshelle is the best hair stylist I've ever had. I've been going to her for almost 2 years now. I started with my natural brunette hair and wanted to go back platinum blonde, and we've finally gotten there! She refused to do it in one sitting because she knew my hair was very fine and it would've damaged it beyond repair. While it has taken a long time, my hair is the color that I want and has never felt so healthy. She really takes her time and gets to know her clients. She even bought me lunch when my hair was processing!! She's the absolute best. As for eyebrows, no one on earth is better than Cari Anne. The kindest woman EVER and is a genius with eyebrows and eyelashes!!! This is the best hair salon/spa ever!! read more

Prices are reasonable. Cuts are a hit or miss depending on who you see! Make sure you bring cash for tips, they are not able to add it to your credit card charge. read more

Best experience ever! I usually have bad anxiety when it comes to cutting my hair or doing any major changes to it. After a year my hair was down to my belly button extremely dead. After a few weeks of messaging Lauren, I came in and got about 5-6 inches cut! She did an AMAZING JOB! Listened to EVERYTHING I asked for. She took her time and she was extremely careful. I can't wait to come back and get my hair done by Lauren again. read more

I have been to this location multiple times and fell in love with one of the stylist. However, apparently everyone else in Gainesville has to so, it's incredibly hard to get an appointment with her. I made an appointment with her three weeks in advance and took the day off work to see her specifically...a week prior to my appointment they called me and told me there was an error and she wasn't available. So, I agreed to see someone comparable. Well, this morning I received a call telling me that my appointment would have to be cancelled and now I took the day off of work for nothing and I won't be coming back. read more

Not super impressed. MOST expensive pedicure I've ever had. It was good but I ended up putting the same out of pocket (after my $40 gift card) as I would have if I'd gone to my regular place and there wasn't anything extra special, in fact they probably did less. :-/ read more

I received the worst haircut EVER at the Gainesville location. The first haircut made me look over 40 (much older). Another person tried correcting it & succeeded in making me look half mushroom & half chiwawa. I regret paying $55 for it. Don't go there!!!!!!!! Are they erasing reviews? I saw others this morning & 1 was also bad. read more

My mom had an appointment to get her hair done for her wedding at this PR location. You'd think that this would be a good idea right? yeah NO not at all. The day of her wedding she came in to get her hair done the stylist who she scheduled with JENNA never came in... My mom waited for over an hour till finally they had two other stylist try to do her. Unfortunately my mom hated how they did her hair and left in tears. Although we appreciate the girls trying this is completely unacceptable. I Advise everyone to not go to PR at all if its for a special occasion because something like this might happen to you as well. We were told we would get a gift basket as an apology but yeah go figure that didn't happen either. I would rate you guys zero stars if i could. read more

This salon is pretentious and rude. The only reason that I would pay their extravagant prices is to relax and come out with a great haircut - I came out with a decent cut, but my nerves were on edge. I just wanted out of their fancy hole. And I don't know about you, but I don't join having multiple hair care products pushed on me. Need I say more. read more

I walked in to inquire about the prices for my child and the two staff members behind the counter gave me a great view up their noses! They definitely lacked customer service skills. Super rude people so I walked out. Don't recommend them. I'd prefer to drive further and pay more money than go here, just so I don't feel like the scum of the earth for asking about a price estimate... read more

I had my haircut and dyed pink by Chris ((the color and cut wasn't even remotely close to the color i wanted, i was too pissed off to say, and the whole experience took forever... 4 hours, i didn't even want the cut)). They made fun of me for shaving the sides of my head, because i just wanted the cut and not the dye, which I clarified ((they is the staff and Chris, despite me accepting the jokes, still uncalled for)). Chris cut my hair because he couldn't manage it all into the bleach tins and now my hair has grown out, and it looks awful. I recently had to shave my head, because my hair was so damaged, i thought i had saved my hair, but i was wrong. The only plus about spending $302 on a terrible cut and dye, was i could easily strip the color and dye my hair another color. My hair was indeed dead on the back top of my head, and the hair only continued to dye, pretty sure that's why they recommended conditioners and shampoo, cause everyone knew my hair was horrible, but didn't want to admit it. Ps, the one star is for the customer service that is it. read more

Christy did a great job on my blonde highlights and style. Loved the shop and the massage at the shampoo bowl. Didn't like the $75 on products I got rope-a-doped into buying at the end. read more

I went in for the first time yesterday and had my hair cut by Nicole. I am very picky when it comes to getting my hair cut and I was searching for a new spot. Nicole really did a fantastic job! She really listened to what I wanted, asked questions and was very meticulous and detail oriented in her cutting. I was very impressed! The true test is always after you get home and play with it on your own and I'm happy to say that it's exactly what I was hoping for. Plus, Nicole was very fun to talk to! I will definitely be back to see her. read more

Shohreh always does an amazing job on my hair!!! She is very talented and professional. She takes her time to understand what you want and lets you know if it's possible or not. She doesn't give it a shot, giving you something you didn't ask for- which is much appreciated! I am so happy to have her as a hair stylist! read more

I kave to give Kaitlin a HUGE shout out here! Well, the whole place deserves a glowing review! From the very friendly staff (who booked me same day to repair my horrendous hair situation from the previous) day to Kaitlin who complely fixed my hait, not to mention very quickly! She did the hob in 1 hour, it was very fairly priced and she actaully gave me the look I was looking for. I will absolutely return, they also have great products (kerastace, which is hard to find!!) THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! read more

I can't rate all of PR at Partners, but Carissa gets five stars from me! I've been going to her for about a year and a half now and her cuts and colors are great. She spends plenty of time with you to understand what you want and then makes it happen. My hair was very damaged from all the processing at my last hairdresser and in the last year, Carissa has made it thicker and healthy again through her coloring methods and the products she recommended (as her about the "pink slime" if you have fine, damaged hair). Don't forget to schedule your appointment way in advance; she books up, which is a testament to her! read more

I highly recommend this salon. Everyone is super friendly and the vibe there is low key yet professional. Olivia does my hair and she is fantastic. I have thin long hair and she makes it look great. read more

I have been going to PR Partners for almost a year, and have been so incredibly happy with my stylist. Shoutout to Chris! He is phenomenal at his craft and truly makes you feel comfortable, confident, and sexy when you're ready to leave. I'm one of those girls that's open to change and more often then not want to do something different as soon as I log in to Pinterest and see something that sparks my eye. What I love about Chris is he's HONEST! He tells me what will look great, and more importantly what will keep my hair healthy. I have naturally curly hair but often straighten it -- hello conditioning and protein masks! With that being said, to watch out for the health of my hair, Chris will advise what we should do to get what I want while maintaining overall health. This review is LONG overdue, but I cannot say enough positive things about you Chris! Thank you for all that you do. read more

Ashley does my hair as well as both my daughters! She is an amazing colorist and can cut/style hir for a middle age Mom who wants to still look hip as well as a tween and a teen girl. Great products, super easy to get to, and above all else - great stylists - especially Ashley! read more

I'll start this by giving some background- my hair has been through a LOT. It's been bleached beyond belief, colored black, colored brown, highlighted, box dyed, etc. I have thin, damaged, expensive hair that falls victim to my hair color boredom very often. I was hesitant to try a new hair salon but I visited this location seeking to change my hair color from black to red. I was very impressed by the efficiency of this salon- I felt like everything was taken care of for me. Based on my history and what I was seeking, they suggested that I see Ryshelle, and she was a miracle worker. I've been to her twice now, and I've been amazed every time. She's very communicative, always makes sure I know what I want, and that she knows what I want. She explains the process and tells me what to expect (including prices), which I value. I don't like surprises when it comes to hair color. Honestly, I have nothing negative to say. The process for scheduling is simple (email, text, and phone calls are options, great for those of us who are forgetful). My hair looks incredible and has been brought back to life, which is really saying something for me. The staff are kind and attentive, salon is clean and nicely decorated. Prices are average and definitely fair for the services I've received. I'll be here a while! read more

Gennah at PR here is such a delight. She has been doing my hair now for the last few months. She is quiet the professional and knows her craft in color,cut, and styling. Very down to earth and again does such a nice job. If you are looking for a consistent stylist who pays attention to your likes and dislikes I would definitely come here and connect with Gennah. She is a keeper. read more

This is the best place ever to go for hair. Cut, color and any other service you cannot go wrong. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Amanda is the BEST stylist there. read more

I've been a PR customer for the last 7 years and ladies, you know once you find "your" stylist it would take Heaven an earth to go anywhere else. I've been seeing Shohreh since she was at the Bristow location, and I trust her with my hair. I mean TRUST. "Wanna chop it off and try something new?" Hey, why not. And of course, it always looks exactly as fabulous as I expect. I've had my hair cut, treated, dyed, and styled for events here and it's never disappointing. If I'm ever unhappy, which I'm not, I know they'd be quick to change that. Everyone there is friendly, remembers your name, and makes a real effort to make you feel welcome. And who can beat a reclining hair wash/massage? I know I'm going to get top notch treatment by people who know what they're doing, and I always leave with a little extra bounce in my step because I'm feelin' super fresh. Even if it's just to treat yourself once in a while, do it. Just do it. read more

Today was my first visit to PR Partners/Gainesville. Shannon did an AMAZING job restoring my blonde hair back to life. (I had a partial highlight, blow out and a Keratase hair treatment).I was so impressed by her product knowledge too! She took such great care of me and made sure I left thrilled about my hair. I booked my next appt. on my way out but will be stopping by next week to pick up some product. Thanks Shannon! :) read more

Amazing experience! My stylist was Ashia and she really did a great job! I have annoyingly thick hair and she made it look great. I would definitely recommend going to her. Super friendly, quick and did an amazing job! read more

I have been coming to PR at Partners, Gainesville VA location for the last 5 years. My favorite stylist is Chris and I always walk out of here feeling super special. This location is very respectful of the client's time and I get a lot of compliments for my hair and I tell my friends, it's because I have an awesome hair stylist! Chris will take the time to get to know you and your comfort level with trying new stuff with your hair and I've always ended up with the absolute best result. read more

This place sucks. And here are some reasons: 1) Too expensive. They have DC prices for a small town salon. 2) Unfriendly. I thought a receptionist job was to make you feel welcome. Guess I was wrong. 3) Odd set up. The carpet in the "rejuvenation room" has stains all over it. The waxing room is dimly lite and has weird dirty chairs. 4) Hair salon or ...? I agree with the first reviewer. Why do they have to sell me shampoo and conditioner? And I own the same brand! 5) Tips. They have the oddest system for tips. Why do I have to write separate checks for everyone? Never seen that before. In conclusion, I'm going to drive 40 mins to get my hair done. It's just not worth my new color or the wax job. read more

Finally found a great Salon! I love Ashley, she transitioned my gray hair growout project into a hip looking doo! Mission Accomplished!! Not an easy task! I always get a great cut and precise color of what I asked for! Bring extra cash for a tip, they do not let you add on a credit or debit card? read more

After having the same hairstyle for 10 years, and being the only one cutting, coloring and styling my hair, I was ready to venture out into the world of salons again. I'm not embarrassed to say that a friend told me about PR at Partners Gainesville, and that is where I began stalking the stylists, looking at their Instagram updates and trying to find the one that I thought would get me the most. Ryshelle was my choice and she did not disappoint. I wanted to leave feeling like myself, sexy, fun and a bit badass (IMHO), and having a style that suited that while I grow my already short cut out, and turn it into another fun and funky style - SUCCESS! Thank you Ryshelle for listening to me, taking the time to look at the pictures of styles I loved, and being on board with everything I wanted. Our vision was the same. I love my new cut and am looking forward to my next appointment - next up, some funky color!!! read more

Stylist Chris cuts curly hair, straight hair, short, long, and anything in between. Master stylist with emphasis on master.

I was looking for a salon with good reviews and a few came but I decided to go here. I made the right choice! Shelby did an awesome job! I love how my hair looks and feel! Thanks again! read more

Okay, I've tried to be patient and work with this salon, but here it goes. Back in Nov or Dec I went to this salon and had a very good experience with Olivia who cut and highlighted by hair. I have hair just below my shoulders and it's not the easiest to cut because it's fine. I wanted shaping and some layers so that there was movement. Olivia did a great job. And I was thrilled to find someone who knew what they were doing. I'm used to going to good salons in Los Angeles, Scottsdale and Sarasota - it's been a struggle to find people who know how to cut fine hair in Northern Virginia. When I called back PR Partners few months to get another cut, I learned Olivia quit and was referred to Margaret. What I got was streaky, chunky highlights that made the ends of my hair too blond because she didn't put in low lights. I even commented when she was doing my hair that it seemed like she worked faster than Olivia. I was surprised she was done with the highlighting so quickly. And, for the cut she just chopped at the ends - no shaping or movement. I was told my the nice counter person that I could always schedule a re-do. So, about a week later after trying to work with my hair myself, I called to schedule a re-do. This time I explained the situation to stylist Rayshelle (not sure of the spelling) about shaping and movement and light layers and I asked if she was comfortable cutting my hair. Because I don't want to keep getting my hair cut and it getting shorter and shorter and shorter. She said that since she had fine hair herself she knew exactly what I was talking about. I also told her of 2 bad experiences where people say they know how to cut fine hair and then hack it. Well, Rayshelle fixed my color (although it looks darker because of so many low lights) and then "texturized" the back of my hair - instead of putting in light layers. As she was cutting my hair, I even mentioned how Olivia cut my hair because it seemed that Rayshelle was just using scissors to shred the ends of my hair. My hair was not shaped or had movement - it looked like the back of my hair was a mess of split ends. Rayshelle did tell me if I wasn't happy with anything to give her a call back to give her the opportunity to fix it. I waited a week doing my hair myself, and the back of my hair was just hacked! Looks like I have damaged, split ends. I called Rayshelle to discuss and she said to call her back if I wanted her to re-cut it. Well.....after all this I'm extremely hesitant. I ended up calling the manager, Katie, to explain the situation. I thought it fair for me to come in and show her how my hair was cut -because it doesn't look like it was cut -it looks like I need a cut because I have split ends. Well, it took quite awhile to schedule an appointment and I had to cancel because something for my son came up. I called that day to cancel and explained the situation to a nice guy who answered the phone. He said he'd definitely get back with me in a few hours to reschedule. Well, it's been two days and I haven't heard anything. They really want you to chase them down. And, you know, it wasn't like I was mean to these stylists when they cut my hair. I gave Margaret a good tip - $20 - and even paid Reyshelle $30 for the re-do since I did take up some of her time. And, I purchased 3-4 products from Reyshelle. So, I was nice. I did leave the salon both times extremely relaxed - like I was on valium - since they do a good job with washing your hair in those massage chairs. I even told them that they could probably have given me a mohawk and I would have left happy since I was so relaxed -I think I almost fell asleep in their chairs. So, I just feel that I've tried to give them a few chances to fix my hair -which does look bad - and they don't seem to care. read more

I have had many great experiences at this PR at Partners! Appointments are always on time and plenty of care is taken to make customers happy. I love being offered a drink too. read more

Never again! I've been going here for a couple years and I've tried at least four different stylists. Some were better than others, but none very good at cutting hair. They are good at styling and product recommendations, which I suppose they have to be to cover up the terrible cuts. I still kept going back because I love the atmosphere and service. This last time was the last straw. I came in for a trim, since I'm growing my hair out it had been a few months since I'd last had my hair cut. I had an appointment with a stylist I'd never seen before, so we had a consultation first. I said I just wanted 1/2" taken off the ends and the framing around my face cleaned up but still below the chin at the shortest. I specifically said I didn't want layers because they don't work for my hair and I'm still trying to grow out previous layers. Let's just say that she pretty much ignored what I requested. I came in with hair about chest length. I left with hair a bunch of different lengths with the longest in the back about 2" shorter than before, and a bunch of random length chopped up layers (which I said I absolutely didn't want!), and the worst part, bangs! She gave me bangs on only one side of my head, weird below the eye half-bangs! I haven't had bangs since I was a teenager, I'm so upset, it's going to take years to grow them back. Now I have this piece of hair poking me in the eye constantly. And I have to pin it with bobby pins or barrettes like a little girl, not a good look for someone in their 30s! I honestly can't recommend this place because there have been too many disappointments and they don't listen to what you ask and the cuts and techniques are mediocre. You should only attempt razoring and random layers if you are very good at it and if the client's hair is appropriate for that style, but definitely not when someone specifically says they don't want it! Please if you care about your hair don't go here. Once mine grows back out I'll be looking for a new place to get my haircut. read more

I needed a color correction because another salon left my hair looking a mess. Carissa was recommended to me by a co-worker. Carissa is amazing! She listened to me and consulted to make sure she fully understood what I wanted and then she made it happen. She also took the time to give me styling tips and flat iron curled my hair! All of that already included in what I was paying. She is well worth her pricing. After months of being unhappy at another salon, I am so glad I switched and found Carissa! The salon itself is very clean and the front desk and assistants are wonderful too. I'd give this even more stars if I could! A++!!!! read more

I so miss OLIVIA she did my hair for about 1 year. I came to Pr Partners in January this year to find out Olivia is no longer working there. So they gave me a new hairdresser named Ashley, I told her I wanted light purple low lights she said no problem, we she started I felt my hair burning and told her about it. She got the manager and they said to me it must be the water at my house. Well its July and my new hairdresser is still working to get my hair back looking good. She burned my hair so bad, it fell out, plus its not light purple it was red. Please get Olivia back.... read more

Loved how Rychelle fixed a bad short haircut I got from another salon. She worked with it and made it look super cute and trendy. Now that's skills! Best of all the style is low maintenance and suits my face. Brought my daughter with really long hair and and her hair looks great! Highly recommend Rychelle she really listens to her clients and loves doing hair. So glad I found a local stylist I like. read more

My husband doesn't have the easiest hair, thin and a couple of cowlicks but he got great haircuts with a professional that understood hair. Then, because of logistics he started going to Carissa at PR partners in Gainesville. First time around wasn't bad as she just trimmed the original style. Second time, she had to do it all on her own and it was... Blah, the say the least. Third time, she just went for the clippers because she thought his hair looked 'weird' and gave my husband a $10 barbershop cut, but with a different price tag. He won't be going back. read more

Chris is a miracle worker! He fixed the "sun in" color that I've been living with for the last few months. He listened, asked questions and did exactly what I asked. I brought him pictures from magazines to show what color I wanted to end up with. We spent some time matching color swatches to my skin color. And BAAM! Chris got it right the first time. Hallelujah ! My husband actually noticed ...that's a good thing; ) Chris styled my hair and I felt great when I left. I would've given PR Partners five stars, except the shampoo person was rough, she did not turn on the massage chair and my head massage was nothing close to a massage...this is the first time I haven't tipped the shampoo girl; ( read more

I had a wonderful experience with Ryshelle. She was very helpful and sweet and listened to exactly what I wanted. I liked that she made recommendations and gave me good advice on maintaining my color and keeping my hair healthy. read more
