I had an appointment for a haircut. I am very pleased with the results. Stylist Cassandra took the time to hear how I wanted my hair cut. She evened out the layers from a previous bad haircut. My hair looked so nice that I made an appointment for haircoloring. read more

Cassandra did a fantastic job on both my hair and my daughter's, giving us exactly what we asked for. She was super friendly and sweet too, and somehow managed to get my very introverted teen to chat with her so easily - which never happens. The salon itself is very cute, nicely laid out and felt instantly welcoming. Everyone there was engaging and friendly. We will be back! read more

Cassandra cut my hair and she was wonderful! She was very helpful in providing tips and suggestions when I asked and always made sure I was satisfied with the direction the haircut was going before proceeding. The staff at Vanity is very warm and welcome; walking in makes you feel as though it's a comfortable space. So many times I've walked into a salon and felt very out of place but Vanity has a warmth to it that most don't have! The personality of the salon is perfect, and I will definitely be returning. read more

Spent over $200 for the most pathetic dye job of my life. Went in with awful roots because I'm so busy with work I dont have time for a 3hr hair appt. My only request to Cassandra was to get rid of my roots and throw in some highlights.... she said she could handle it. Please see pictures for how much she butchered my hair. One of the worst parts was she wasnt even competent enough to property shampoo me! When I left the salon, I ran my fingers through my hair and felt big clumps of thick sticky dye where my neck and head meet. I called the salon the next day. Nobody answered. Left a voicemail. No follow up. I'm hoping maybe this YELP post will trigger one of them to fix this awful situation, but I'm not very hopeful. read more

See all

After going to another salon in Fredericksburg for a cut a month ago and not loving the experience or their products (they seriously stank and did nothing for my hair - My husband thought I'd gone to a perfume counter and sprayed a bunch of stuff together), I looked up Vanity. I managed to get a same day appt for color and a cut - so nice for girls like me who tend to fly by the seat of their pants and wait to be fed up before doing something about their hair! I booked a 5:00pm appt with Caroline, and had the best experience. I wanted to get back to my natural color shade and take an inch off/trim up. Vanity is a Paul Mitchell salon, and I was thrilled with the results. Not too mention that a cut and all over color (along with styling) was very reasonable price-wise! I will definitely be coming back! read more

I got Cassandra and wow, is she amazing! She made my hair look better than it ever has and gave me the bangs I've always wanted! She told me a lot about my hair type-she definitely understands hair. This is going to be my new salon! Very pleased. read more

Absolutely recommend this salon! I read other reviews about this salon and decided to try it out. It's just as the reviews say! Lovely, friendly, talkative staff and a great location! I called around 1230 and spoke to Autumn. I told her I was visiting from out of town, currently have a perm in and wanted a shampoo/condition and style. She let me know a price and worked with me to get a good appointment time. I arrived 10 minutes early and she was finishing up with another client. She was available right on schedule! She had a lovely attitude in general and was really great to talk to. She gave me some great tips about how to style my hair--I LOVE when stylists share a bit of their vast knowledge :). For the final comments: My hair turned out PERFECT!! I gave her a quick run down on exactly what I wanted and she delivered!! I was super stoked for my date night and felt gorgeous for it as well :) I'd give 10 stars if I could!! Go try it out-you won't be sorry! read more

I enjoyed my visit to this salon. Cassandra is very warm and inviting hair stylist. I asked for a variation of the French Bob haircut that would suit my face type. She saw few of the picture samples I brought along with me for reference and made a suggestion of what would better on me. It's the first time I've actually not felt uncomfortable in a salon while getting my hair washed because the chair was comfortable and perfect for someone as short me. Cassandra was very patient when I wanted to make further changes to my hair after she cut and styled it. I am fully satisfied with my fresh new look for the summer. She's also a good conversationalist! I like the way the store is set up with plenty of greenery everywhere. Super clean restroom with variety of hand-wash liquids. Nice location set in heart of downtown Frederick. I enjoyed strolling around in warm sun after my visit to the salon. read more

Autumn was amazing! She knew exactly what I wanted when I didn't even know how to explain it Prices are great and she took her time

It's always scary going to a new stylist, but decided to give Vanity a try based on the reviews. Cassandra was my stylist. She listened to want I wanted, then gave recommendations on what would work for my hair type. I was still hesitant as she was cutting my hair, but afterwards I was very happy with the results! The simple changes gave my short bob a more modern touch. Would definitely recommend this salon! read more

I just got back from another visit with Daniela and as always, I feel like a million bucks. I have been a client for nearly 15 years. I have followed her as her career developed until she eventually became a salon owner. When I first started with her my hair was dry and broken. Within a very short period of time she not only helped repair the damage, she set me on a path of using quality products (that she carries in the salon), and scheduling appointments regularly that make my hair look amazing. It's actually sort of become my trademark. Long, dark, healthy and shiny hair. Besides helping me look my best, Daniela is an amazing soul. We became friends long ago, because she doesn't just treat you like a client but someone she's building a relationship with. A few other things to note. Her staff, Autumn and Cassandra are also kind, talented and capable stylists. Daniela would only work with the best. The salon has convenient hours, their prices are fair, the salon is always clean and well maintained and they are very accommodating. The ladies routinely attend hair conferences in order to keep with the latest trends, products, styles and solutions. Need a hair service? No need to continue your search. This is the best in town! read more

Autumn is Exceptional. She is hands above all the other colorists I have visited in the area. I went to her for low lights and color, and the results are simply amazing. After Autumn color and styled my hair, I fell in love with the results. I can't stop looking in the mirror. Autumn has done her magic on my hair before; however, this time was really exceptional. I can't thank her enough for her patience. I am very picky about my hair, and she just seems to know what to do. So, please don't hesitate to make an appointment at Vanity Salon and ask for Autumn. You won't be sorry!!!!! read more

I come here all the time, and everyone is amazing. Cassandra fixed my terrible hair dye from another local salon and got me the red hair color I was originally looking for. Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone. It's the only place I go now for haircuts or color. read more

Two terrific skilled ladies work here. The shop is well-done, clean, and there is an abundance of parking at this end of Caroline St. Both ladies schedule so they are ready to take you on time ~ no waiting. Highly recommend. read more

Highly recommend this business!!! After moving from overseas, and having a bad experience in Fredericksburg with another business, I was anxious to get my hair cut.

I LOVE how my hair turned out, and I will be back as a regular customer!!! Very professional little shop, friendly people, and a great atmosphere all around. Thank you for the foil and cut!!! I'll see you soon!!! read more

I am so thankful that Autumn answered the phone! She is amazing. Autumn listened to what I wanted and then performed even better than I expected! Autumn is attentive, talented, friendly and AWESOME! My hair was foiled and she was able to get out most of the warm blonde that I had as I wanted to go lighter. The cut was amazing too! She gave my hair some soft curls and I left the salon feeling better than I have in a long time with a beautiful color, great cut and softness...now she's stuck with me :) The salon is a full Paul Mitchell salon that provides the best products. Daniela and Brittany were both there and so friendly! They all created an inviting atmosphere of which is hard to find. I felt comfortable and happy. Win win! If you want someone who will listen to you and then provide you with top of the line service then Autumn at Vanity Salon is for you! Thanks Autumn!! read more

Jen has been taking care of my hair for the last 5 years, I don't trust my hair with just anybody. As a redhead it's hard to find someone who knows just what I need, but I can always trust Jen to tell me what's up! All the ladies at Vanity are great! I highly recommend stopping in to get your hair done. I send all my friends and family to see them! read more

I as well as others had just moved from California to Fredericksburg. I knew I wanted a Paul Mitchell Focus salon.

Just moved to the area and was a little apprehensive about having to find a new hair salon. So glad I found this place, Cassandra did an awesome job on my cut and color. read more

I was a bit uncertain about cutting my hair here as I always had it done in Asia thus has been holding on to the decision until today (my hair has reached my waist and I can feel it's strangling me at night). I read few reviews on Yelp about all the salon here and decided to give Vanity a go. My haircut turn out just the way I wanted and my hairstylist Caroline is just fabulous. She is super friendly and attentive and I would recommended her to anyone. So no nightmares there about scissor happy stylist! Definitely coming back for a bang in December! read more

Jen has cut both my husband's hair as well as mine for a little over a year. We're always very pleased with the outcome, and she and the rest of the staff are always very friendly and helpful. To use the words of my husband as he's looking in the mirror every three weeks: "Man, that Jen sure can cut hair!" read more

So glad I found this place! Autumn is amazing and I couldn't have asked for more perfect cut and color!! So pleased and will definitely be going back!! read more

This one is going to be a little long, just FYI. I had been going to Vanity for a while and was always beyond happy with my hair. I always saw a young woman who did a fantastic job, but as these things go, she moved. I was heart broken because as any woman knows it's hard to find a consistent stylist who is above the standard. So a few months go by and I am in need of a hair cut and had also decided to go from a natural brunette to a blonde (I had been planning this for quite a while and had multiple professional opinions on method and color. I take these things seriously). I made my appointment at Vanity and brought all of my pictures. I was ready to go. I will say now that I never expect my hair to look exactly like the celebrities in the pictures; I was aware that I wan't spending seven hundred dollars at a salon in Hollywood. However, I did expect the same general tone of the color which is what I wanted to make very clear. So I get there and get seated. I show the girl all of the pictures and established that I wanted to go completely blonde and I wanted a warm sandy color, as seen in the multiple pictures I was holding. She understood what I was telling her and explained that since my hair was all brown all she could really do was do a full foil. There would still be brown, but that I would come back in two to three weeks and have more foiling done; it would have to be done in stages. That wasn't really what I was going for, but I agreed since it was supposed to be easier on my hair. So she goes to work foiling away and sticks me under the heater for a while. I get pulled out, foiling out, hair washed, cut and dried. I looked in the mirror and it wasn't too bad. Not entirely what I was expecting, but manageable. I pay my $140 and head out to my dad's office a few minutes away to show him and my mom the new look and all. When I walked through the door I got the surprised "should-we-say-anything" look. So I went to the bathroom and discovered that my hair really didn't look like it did in the salon. Actually it looked a lot like Lindsay Lohan's. It was white in some places and green in others. When I put it back in a pony tail I had huge uneven and weirdly spaced chunks of brown among the blonde. I was pretty mortified. I decided to go back and ask for my money back for the foiling since I was obviously going to have to get it redone elsewhere. The owner (who was there as I was getting my hair done) said that they don't do refunds and that they would happily redo my hair. I appreciated the offer but didn't see the logic in allowing the same girl who had just murdered my hair to have a second go at it, especially since neither one of them saw anything wrong with the job she had done (by the way, for the next week I had complete strangers asking me what happened to my hair or if I had done it at home. Yeah). I made an appointment with a family friend in Northern VA and in the meantime tried every deep conditioning treatment I could since apparently heat and bleach turn a persons hair to brittle straw. When I got there Sammy and Gregory went to work on my hair. They were shocked to find not only green but also blue and silver tones in my hair, which was apparently caused my placing my foiled head under direct heat (something my stylist at Vanity did and the owner watched her do). During my re-do they had to color all the hair around the foiling, add two new tones of highlights, and put a rinse over all of it. The result: BEAUTIFUL! They managed to work the bleached out blonde into a gorgeous warm blonde with lots of depth and tone. It looks so natural that when people who don't know that I'm naturally a brunette find out, they are shocked. There is more than one stylist at Vanity, and I am sure that some of them do a fantastic job. But when you're paying over a hundred dollars for a dye job it should be expected that every stylist is excellent and knows what they are doing and that the owner is FOR the customer; as in not allowing their employee to create a chemical disaster on said customers head. read more

The Hairdresser did not match my current color, before I left I told her it was too dark. She followed up with me on Tuesday and said to give it "a few washes" for it to look okay. That is not how it works. They should have asked me to come in and to rectify the situation. It was the first and the last time I will go there! read more

Never really write these Yelp reviews but for this business I'll make an exception. After years of having my hair cut...sub par at best...I started going to see Autumn. She immediately turned it around and even once saved my butt when I was in a bind. My youngest niece had "styled" my hair and I ended up with basically a huge bald spot. Autumn to the rescue- she cut around it in a way that hid it and no one was the wiser. We still laugh about it in the shop. All the girls in here are pretty amazing and I know that as long as I am in the area I will continue to go see them. Do yourself a favor and go check it out! read more

Stay away! Regardless of Daniela's level of experience, she does not listen to the customer. In fact she will snap back if you ask for something different or to cooperate with your needs. Only recommended if you need to get in costume for a 1980s party. read more
