Vincent is a career professional unlike the countless nameless people you allow to savage your hair at any of the local places around Merrifield. I've referred a few friends to him and they've followed Vincent around as he moved into the Lofts in Dunn Lorring, I think that speaks volumes about his work. When you have a loyal clientele, it means you're doing something right and when I get non-stop compliments about my hair cut I know I've picked the right guy. Parking is free in the giant garage next door and from there it's a short walk to the Lofts.

She made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Most times the barber just see hair and they go willy nilly -- not her, she cut just the right amount. I'm very happy with the results!

I never thought I could be enraged by a haircut, but I've been proven wrong. I had been growing my hair out for 6 months and went in for a lineup. Asked for him to take it up off my ears and the guy shaved the side and back of my head with a number 3. And when I said something about it, the guy didn't even apologize, just told me to handle it at the front desk (like they were going to grow my hair back or something). Even if I had wanted my hair short, the haircut would still be comically bad; I honestly thought I was on an episode of Punk'd. I am soooo pissed off about this haircut and with this place. I obviously don't pay for the haircut, but that doesn't even begin to make up for this effed up amateur job; and now I have to pay some one to fix it.

When I first moved to the Fairfax area, I went around to a lot of the "best" shops looking for a…read morebarber I could trust. I saw varying levels of skill elsewhere--not necessarily bad work, just inconsistent--but Trieu is easily at the top of my list and has become my go-to. I barber as a hobby--not professionally, just for friends--so I look at haircuts a bit differently than the average client. I'm a pretty normal, low-maintenance guy regarding my own hair, but because I know the trade, it honestly kills me when I see professionals taking shortcuts or ignoring the fundamentals just to turn over the chair. I wanted someone who simply respects the craft, and that is Trieu. His technical approach is unique and demonstrates high-level skill: For medium length on top, he moves away from rote sectioning (holding hair between fingers). Instead, he combs along and against the grain to gauge the natural fall, cuts using a freehand sculpting technique, and thoroughly cross-checks. The Result: This method optimizes the cut for your specific head shape rather than just following a cookie-cutter pattern. It creates natural texture within the cut itself, saving time on point-cutting or texturizing later. Other details you will notice: * Sanitation: Hygiene is on point; he changes out his straight razor blades for every single client. * Detailing: He is efficient, but he doesn't rush the finish. He does multiple rounds of detailing with the trimmers to catch any strays and clean up the perimeter. * The Transition: His scissor work connects the top and sides smoothly for a solid blend. I wouldn't say the fades are 100% perfect, but they are a solid 98%. Given the volume he handles and his efficiency, the execution is exceptional. Like I said, I'm not vain about my hair, I just appreciate good work and quality care. I trust Trieu's skills completely.

I am responding to your claim that my communication today was "abusive" when I called about your…read moreuse of a debit card I had repeatedly asked you to remove from your system. I stated my concerns clearly, yet the first person I spoke with repeatedly talked over me and placed me on hold. While still on hold, I asked the second person I reached to speak with a manager; she stated she was out of town on business. Your attempt to characterize my communication as abusive appears to be an effort to deflect from the actual issue on your end: the retention and use of my debit card information without my express written consent, despite my asking on at least two prior occasions that it be removed and that only my AMEX remain on file. I am extremely concerned that your business continued to retain and use my debit card information without my authorization. Retaining a customer's payment information without explicit consent is inappropriate, raises serious privacy and security concerns, and may violate industry standards as well as applicable state consumer-protection regulations. I did not authorize your business to store my debit card information, nor was I informed that such retention would occur. To be clear: I will not tolerate false allegations about my behavior, nor improper handling of my personal financial information--especially when I contacted you specifically to address this issue. Your initial response--"You told us to bill you the late fee"--was both appalling and revealing. If you knew you had two cards on file, the appropriate course would have been to ask which card I preferred to use, particularly given our prior conversations. Instead, when I sought to understand why my bank card was still on file and used, I was met with a defensive and rude tone. You text patrons regularly; you could have just as easily texted me to confirm my preferred payment method. Had you extended that basic courtesy, I could have again reiterated my request to remove the debit card information. As I explained to the second individual, I was late to my appointment but had communicated this in advance to both the nail technician and the front desk via text. At no point did anyone respond to say, "Please do not come," in which case I would have turned around. Instead, I arrived at the establishment as scheduled, albeit late. During the course of our conversation, this individual repeatedly addressed me as "Dear" which was condescending and dismissive. I clearly stated that I do not wish to be addressed in that way--I am nearly 60 years old, and such familiarity in a conflict situation is inappropriate. Ultimately, my AMEX was charged $125 as a late/no-show fee--even though I did, in fact, show up late--and my debit card was supposedly credited, according to the second individual. The underlying concern remains: your business appears to retain all payment methods used by customers without obtaining express written consent or providing any disclosure in your text messages, receipts, or posted signage. I am fully aware of my rights under local and state consumer-protection laws, including the right to fair treatment, truthful interactions, and proper safeguarding of personal and financial information--which is precisely why I reached out in the first place. It is unfortunate that the initial staff member chose to become argumentative when I asked direct, legitimate questions and expressed understandable emotion. There is no justification for disrespectful treatment, nor for the false claim that I was asked to stop and refused. I will not accept being spoken to in a dismissive or unprofessional manner by any business that accepts my money yet fails to extend basic respect. I reiterated to the second person that my concern is fundamentally about being treated disrespectfully and about the unauthorized retention and use of my debit card. Your text message instructing me not to return carries no weight. The core issues are your handling of customer payment information and your staff's conduct--not my decision to raise valid concerns. To underscore that I was not upset about being rescheduled initially, I have attached the text exchange with my technician, which reflects a cooperative tone. My concern has consistently been the retention and use of a card I clearly asked you to remove. No one gave your business permission to keep that card on file after those requests.

I had a disaster happen to my hair from another stylist, and I came to Kai asking for a total redo of my reddish brown hair color to an ashy blonde combo. Kai did a full Balayage + full color correction and 4.5 hours later, my hair had a total make over! I couldn't believe it! Kai definitely under promised and over delivered on his abilities. He told me his honest feedback on what he can do and can't do. He was very realistic on what to expect because I had originally dyed my own hair with box color from CVS (don't ever do that BTW) Because he was honest, I already went into the appointment having a good idea on how long it would take and what color to expect. Although Kai keep his promises realistic, he went above and beyond with his technique and did a bombastic job on my hair!!! I would highly recommend him to family and friends! I really like the ashy brown blonde vibes with my new hair!!! Loving the way my hair came out because It looks so good, and I usually don't brag about my hair like this!

However, I have a concern about something that may annoy or even offend some of their customers. All of the barbers appear to have Vietnamese heritage. They are all totally fluent in English. But it is fairly common for some of them to engage in conversations entirely in their native language, including laughing, etc. I suspect this is all innocent back and forth among them, but I think it is fair to say that many Americans would consider it a bit rude. It would be unfortunate if this resulted in some customers deciding to go elsewhere. This is offered as constructive criticism and for no other reason.
