G&P Salon

Trang is such a friendly person. We talked about all sorts of things. A very important point I’d like to make; she cuts just the length that I specified unlike some other places. Other issues doesn’t annoys me as having my hair shorter than I asked for. She gave advices on hair care, but she doesn’t push products. I like that. I’m going to go back again and again.

Came in with my mother-​in-​law for haircuts by Trang since my brother-​in-​law and sister-​in-​law are regulars here. She was finishing up a short sleek cut on the previous client, and the finished product looked fantastic. She did a similar short cut but more refined and appropriate for my mother-​in-​law. Her cut was modern, glam and flawless.
I just wanted a trim with long layers for my cut, but she transformed a simple cut into a glamorous, flowy, styled masterpiece. She didn’t take too much length off, and took her time to layer and blow dry my thick hair. I’ve seen her professional and superior skills on different hair lengths, textures, and client ages. I definitely recommend Trang — her talent is exceptional!

Not bad.
I have now tried 5 different salons in this area to find a stylist who can give me a hip haircut using a picture of Michelle Williams, my all time favorite celebrity!!! She is my muse. Or maybe I’m just stalking her haha Anyways, I know that I don’t look anything like her b/​c I’m Asian for 1 thing, but I do look better in short hair than in long hair.
Trang was my stylist and she was pretty good. I got a cut, keratin treatment, and highlights. She gave me a REALLY good price! I did walk out feeling great! Didn’t wash my hair for 2 days as instructed, but still I had decided to wait 1 more extra day. And with every passing day, I loved it more. Once I washed it, not so much. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros:
1. AWESOME highlights! it is very hard to give an Asian girl highlights without looking like some sex slave in a foreign country. But she made mine look awesome and I was amazed!!!
2. hair cut didn’t really look like the picture but it was close enough.
3. very sweet lady
4. salon was not busy at all so I was sat as soon as I walked in.
Cons:
1. Keratin treatment did nothing for my hair. complete waste of my $ 160.
2. I’m finding all these really short cut pieces of hair mixed in through my head and it doesn’t work for my course, frizzy hair texture. As these short pieces are growing in, it makes my hair look more voluminous and I already have a problem with volume.
3. Getting water splashed in my face while washing. not to mention that the water temperature was on the colder side. And water dripping all down my face and neck when I got back to the hair b/​c she didn’t put a towel on my head.
Overall, it was a decent haircut, but it’s not growing in very nicely and I’m having a very hard time styling my hair when I have all these super short pieces everywhere.

Really bad experience. Cannot believe some people in review said Trang is friendly. NOT AT ALL! She told me I was late with a bad tone and I know I was 8 minutes late from my appointment but no one was there that morning and no one also waiting after me. What a very bad greeting to a new customer. Then she talked on the phone, I had to wait for few min and I was thinking to cancel the haircut, go back to Groupon to get refund due to her unfriendly attitude. She cut my hair just a regular bob, not per my request to have an angled bob. She did not trim my sides and just cut my hair at the back. She did not even care to make sure the sides on the same length. I prayed hard when she was doing the haircut that she won’t mess up my hair. Very not comfortable with her attitude and I did not to ask a lot of questions. I definitely WILL NOT go back and NOT recommend her to anyone. I am sorry but I don;t believe the business will run well unless there is other better hairdresser in that place than Trang and I believe she is the owner. You sell groupon to introduce your business and attract customers to go back but it won’t happen if you have that kind of manner.

Overall, a pretty good cut. The experience was pretty weird though, I called after they opened on Saturday or Sunday morning but no one picked up so I decided to just to try my luck and drop by the salon. The salon was completely empty except for I think it was Trang the owner, I told her I tried to call but no one picked up and was wondering if she was able to get me a cut. She was telling me that it was fine until she found out I had a Groupon and said that the Groupon was only for weekdays so despite the salon being completely empty, I had to schedule with her on a weekday. After getting yelled at for not following the rules, I made an appointment for later that week and came back. She mentioned that there was a $ 15 upcharge with my long hair. Someone washed my hair and she proceeded to cut it after, it was weird because she flipped my hair across the top of my head and over my face, it was still dripping a bit so I was getting pretty wet and proceeded to cut it. Despite coming out of the cut pretty soaked and seeing strange-​ish techniques, I think my cut turned out pretty well. I think $ 35 was reasonable for the cut ($ 20 groupon + $ 15 upcharge), not sure I would pay full price for that cut though.

Trang is the best, very friendly and professional. Clean and relaxing atmosphere and different with your regular hair salon.
Highly recommended, I would not go anywhere else.

Made an appointment after purchasing a Groupon for a haircut, shampoo, and blow dry. When I walked in, it wasn’t busy. Trang, who I booked my appointment with was just finishing up on another customer. So the wait wasn’t too long. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing. She informed me that since I have long hair it’s 25 $ extra and it was in the Groupon. Which I didn’t look, but I didn’t mind, I’m just happy she told me. When it was my turn she asked me how much I wanted off, while I was facing the mirror, she then gave me a mirror to look at the mirror behind me. I took a glance, and placed the mirror down for a bit, and she firmly told me «look!» in a harsh tone and asked me how much I wanted off again. It actually scared me a bit. When it came to shampooing, the girl was very nice and we chatted a bit. When it was time to cut and blow dry my hair, it looked great. Trang’s kids serenaded me in music and even wanted to dance for me. I’m guessing the package included free entertainment? Once my session was done, she didn’t put hairspray in so my curls didn’t even last 3 hours.

Love my new highlights she did an amazing job… usually I’m afraid to go to Asian salons but not anymore she knows how to work with my hair

My experience isn’t even worth one star. I came on time but had to wait 10 minute before the hairdresser came through the door. She did not even greet me and just told me to come sit down so she can examine my hair. I showed her a picture and she said she can’t cut it like that since I have layers in it. That doesn’t make sense since all I wanted was a lob and it doesn’t have to be all in one length. She suggested to cut it shorter in the back and longer in the front so I just went with it. She also mentioned that I would have to pay an additional $ 20 on top of my $ 20 groupon which is worth $ 35 since my hair is long. I said the lady on the phone said it would be $ 10 so she offered $ 15 on top instead. Throughout the cut she did not even try to ask if the length was ok or how I liked it so far. She didn’t even make ANY conversation. She seemed to be in a bad mood or something. Before I know it, she was done cutting. She didn’t even seem to put much effort into the cut since she just used the razor scissors and cut off random parts. My hair was barely any shorter, it was not a lob at all. This haircut was NOT worth $ 35+$ 15 on top! Hair cuttery would probably do a better job and half the price. I will ever come back or recommend this place to anyone.

Came in today to actually get a haircut, I don’t do well with other people cutting my hair I always had my best friend to cut my hair for me but since she moved far away I had nobody. I tried looking for a good reasonable price around my area and I saw a offer on groupon decided to try it out and it was this place I came a few minutes late to my appointment I didn’t think it would be a big deal, there was NOBODY there and I wanted to cut my hair the lady was so rude to me and was like no I can’t «yu late yu late» I apologized and said I’m sorry can I still go and she was like «no I have another appointment at 4» I was okay can I get it after hers can I wait she was like no no make another day. I was like really why? She was like because ur late. I was there till 4 and nobody was there yet for their appointment that person was late too… She was just a rude lady being so lazy that she looked when I came in. I was so happy to get a haircut for so long and getting out of there with rude service and not very good manners I was so disappointed with this place NEVER AM I COMING HERE and I recommend ppl not to come get there haircuts from here. There was this one girl who seemed very nice she was Spanish and I’m guessing a nail technician she apologized for what happened. Like I said very disappointed for someone who doesn’t usually go out her way to get a haircut. This place will go down soon with that bad attitude and service. Whoever was working August 8,2015 at 4pm that was Asian please be a little more respectful and stop being so damn lazy… I usually don’t write on to put reviews but don’t buy a groupon from this place just trying to help the people who want to consider this place just don’t. BEYOND disappointed!

After seeing the «good review» on Unilocal,I decided to buy the groupon deal. However, when I tried to make an appointment with the groupon deal, the staff who picked up the phone call was soooo rude! I asked if I can make an appointment on Saturday/​Sunday, she said no… then I asked if I can make it on Monday, she said no with a bad attitude. I was wondering if «NO» is the only word she can speak?! Definitely disappointed with their service and had to return the groupon.

Fantastic hair. Trang is the best — get the groupon for 20 $ incl haircut shampoo and blow dry

Trang is great. She always respects hair length. That’s my biggest issue with hair salons, they always cut more than I told them too. I forget to come in for monthly trims, and I usually remember to cut my hair like once every four to five months. I understand the damage that can happen when you live your life on the edge that way (lol) and I pretty much let you do what you want with my hair, as long as it’s below my shoulders when you’re done with it. I’ve been to Trang four times in a year and a half. I feel like that’s some serious commitment. I feel like Trang deserves an award for the amount of effort she put in my hair this last hair appointment so here’s the low down on how wonderful she is.
my hair: Naturally wavy, so I straighten every day. I also have a terrible habit of going from dark to light so I can go through life with some seriously crispy hair until I remember to cut it. I just went from dark brown to almost blonde. I think I also bleached my hair at some random point last year.
Trang’s reaction: She noticed how crispy my hair was, and offered my a hair conditioning treatment for half price. She had me sit under a hair dryer with deep conditioner for a while, than she proceeded to cut as much damage as she could while magically keeping the length. (obviously she’s a miracle worker) She also suggested shampoos and conditioners for me to use and she threw in a free shine serum to pretend my hair is healthy.
Pros: Trang really takes her time and puts extra effort in making sure you leave with great hair and she always styles my hair free of charge. Sometimes she straightens it to submission, other times she makes me have glam baywatch hair. It’s also open on Sundays while other salons are closed.
Cons: Service is great, but it’s definitely an experience. Make sure to be aware of where your purse is, do not come here with a time constraint, and be prepared to be a little soggy. It’s a very interactive experience with your wet hair kinda’ flying all over the place and dripping down your front. But honestly a little hair in your purse, and getting slapped a few times with wet hair is totally worth the hair cut.

After my last highlight episode, I was hoping that the great reviews from here would fix it. If they didn’t think it was fixable, they should have just told me so. My head is now a mixture of brown, black, blonde and white. They said with my white hair, it was better to highlight it, so I agreed. I have a white patch near the front of my head and they decided to patch it up with some blonde color, then highlighted parts of my hair brown. Then it was like taking a brush and just swiping my hair wherever they thought it needed color. I couldn’t cry in the shop, but when I came home my husband couldn’t stop laughing at me. What a waste of money. I should have just dyed it myself. Other than the dreadful highlighting, she cut the hair nicely and gave me tips on how to style it. Maybe it is a good place to go if you don’t have white hair… or prior highlights.

Such a great place! Relaxing, clean and cozy environment that smells like incense :) Trang is very friendly, gentle and precise with your hair needs! She listened to me and always consulted me before she moved forward to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. She gave me a shampoo, fresh trim + layers and even styled me up with a blowout for only $ 40! The place I went to before would charge me $ 65 without even a simple blowdry. Trang doesn’t push other services on you or try and sell you products like a lot of other salons either. I am excited to try other services here (she mentioned nails and massages — yay!) and will definitely be coming back in the future for their hair services!

After looking through Pinterest and seeing so many balayage ombré pics — I really, really wanted this look. I tried out another salon in Sterling, VA and they did not give me the look I wanted at all. So after a few months later (to give my hair a rest), I searched google and found G & P Salon. I saw that the reviews were really good and made an appointment right away. I live almost an hour away but the drive was worth it. As soon as I got there Trang greeted me and sat me down and made me some tea. She immediately asked me if I had some pictures to show her and I pulled up my pinterest page. To be honest, I was skeptical because of my previous experience at another shop. However, Trang did a fantastic job. My hair turned out so beautiful and I got so many compliments! It was cute how Trang was more excited about my hair than I was. We even did a mini photo shoot afterwards. Love, Love, Love my hair and will be going back for a touch up soon! Thank you Trang!

So great! I went in late for a manicure and the women did a fabulous job. Awesome price for a gel manicure and everyone was very nice. I will definitely be back :)

Randomly stopped by after my lunch at Kogiya last week. Figured I had about 50 minutes to kill between lunch and my haircut next door.
The place was nice and clean. However, in less than 1 week after my pedicure, it started chipping all over. My pedicures at other places usually remain perfectly intact for 1.5−2 weeks. So, needless to say, I’m not going back.

Great Job! Me and my Friend came and Jenny & Triang did such a wonderful job. Jenny put so much effort into making sure I got the right color/​job etc. was a great experience. They take extra effort in making you feel great. It’s a family run business and they take pride in making it a relaxing fun experience. I’ll be back

Life changing!
Before getting a haircut was just something for me to cross off my to-​do list so I’d buy a Groupon or some deal off living social and never go back to that place again… However, G&P Salon, in so many ways, swept me off my feet!
When you first walk-​in, the first thing you notice is how beautiful the place is! Its clean and the décor is just breathe taking. My stylist, Trang Nguyen, treated me like I was family and we talked up a storm. I didn’t even know she was the owner because we chatted so much! It was then I found out her centerpiece (which you will not miss!) was custom-​made.
Someone with that much creativity & thoughtfulness to detail, I knew right then & there I was in the right place and I was in good hands! Not only did I leave there amazed, I left feeling just beautiful! I can’t even explain how pleased & happy I am with my end results… So worth it! Every penny & second I spent in her salon!
She fulfilled everything from color to cut, seriously you will not be disappointed! Not to mention, just an overall great experience!
