Bubbles Hair Salon For Men & Women

I have long hair, about halfway down my back. I went in and asked for long layers and 3 inches off… what I would think is a simple haircut. 7 inches later, I regret ever stepping foot in this salon. I’m not sure what was wrong with my stylist that day, but she took a huge, uneven, laughable chunk of hair off on the right side of my head; hanging down to only my chin. It looks like a 4 year old got to my hair. My dog could do a better job.
I went to another salon nearby to have the situation remedied as best as possible. Bottom line, this Bubbles gave me the worst haircut I’ve ever had. Should have gone to the 4 year old instead. Please don’t go here.

I have never had a good haircut here even when I show them pictures of what I want. I am currently outgrowing last bad haircut and shouldn’t have gone back after the first.

Walked into the salon where 2 employees were at the front desk, looked at me and continued their private conversation. Once they were done, the lady simply asked «Can I help you.» I told her I had a 6:30 appointment with Mohammed, she told me she’d tell him I was here. That was it – she didn’t ask my name, confirm anything, or offer me something to drink or take my coat, like the next receptionist did with the man that walked in right behind me. They lose a star for front desk rudeness.
My color touch-​up with Mohammed was great! He introduced himself, assessed my hair, gave me the cost and went to make the color. I asked for a touch-​up, but he did full color, which I didn’t mind because the cost was still affordable ($ 65), the quality was great and I may return because I liked Mohammed’s touch and attention to my hair.

i asked for hair color they made my hair black i have a blond hair with high lights and they put another color to lift up just for route color i stayed for 4 hour to get the process done and fix, another time i took my relative it was for route color too after 45 min they washed her hair and her hair didn’t get color at all and we went back again to redone the the whole process the manager never been there, always they say he will be there tomorrow never call or show up !!!

Of all the things to do while you’re on vacation in the DC metro area, getting a haircut isn’t typically on the list. But why not? It was a tad humid and my hair gel failed me, so after a quick lunch at the mall, I decided to go for it.
Right off the bat the service was great. I was greeted and seated within five minutes despite the fact that the salon was busy. My hairdresser totally understood what I wanted even though she’s never cut my hair before. A shampoo was included in the price of the cut.
Speaking of price it’s on par with what I expect of a salon in San Francisco (my home turf). Service-​wise it was slightly better.
So if you’re a local and you want something stylish besides the usual Supercuts (do they have Supercuts in the DC metro area?), give this salon a try. They made me look good for the rest of my vacation.

Add to my previous review: after a few days, there are a number of stray hairs that aren’t cut to the same length as the rest of them that I’ve had to cut myself. The front is also uneven, not enough that you notice if you spend lots of time blowing it out but enough that you notice if you don’t spend time styling it which is really frustrating. For the price it wasn’t awful but I don’t know if I’ll go back next time I need a cut.

Have gone to Bubbles since I moved here in January. My first cut was with some lady that didn’t listen to what I wanted and hurried through my cut at the end cuz she had another appointment booked waiting on her. Not a great first impression. My hair turned out average nothing special.
I decided to go back in hopes I could find someone else and made sure I didn’t get the same lady again. I walked in and made an appointment with Jacquelyn. She listened to everything I explained and she took all the time needed. She even took the time to blow it and cut some more so that it laid just right. I have thick blond hair and always get an A line bob. It’s super cute when done just right and not so cute if not. Jackie did it exactly right. I have been to her three times now and swear I love it more every time! She’s gunna go far with her awesome talent :-)

I’ve been to Bubbles twice now, and had a great experience each time.
Now, for some background, I’m extremely nervous about haircuts. I have a condition called trichotillomania, which makes me compulsively pull out my own hair. That means that it’s frequently uneven, patchy, and a wreck. I’ve had bad experiences with stylists before who have been overly pushy and have made me feel worse about it.
After a few bad hair days in a row, I got up the nerve to come to Bubbles for a walk-​in. I saw Silvia, and she gave me the best haircut I’ve had in my life. No judgement here. She gave me a low-​maintenance haircut that works with my hair’s texture, and gave me styling tips to keep it from getting too frizzy.
It was the best haircut I’ve had in my life, and I’m very happy with it. I actually feel good about my hair now!
I came back for a second appointment with her a month or two later, and it was equally as awesome. I will definitely keep coming back here.
The only reason why this review is four and not five stars is that my second appointment (the one I planned in advance) was rescheduled more than one time. I’ve got a busy schedule, so having to move things around multiple times isn’t cool, even if the haircut itself is awesome.

I will admit that I generally know better than to trust a last minute appointment with a salon in this area. However, it had been so long since I got my haircut – having had the funds and time to do so, I broke down and decided I needed one today. I have had haircuts at other Bubbles chains in the past – those actually being decent experiences. Today I have what I can say is one of worst haircuts I’ve gone in the past two years and burn on my forehead.
I get a really really basic haircut for a woman. I wear my hair long and get low layers in the front. After explaining to my hairdresser what two inches was about three times, I only got more nervous. When we got to the stage with the long layers, I sort of stopped her and told her that I wear my hair parted to the side. Most hairdressers will ask that question before trimming – she started to and I had to cut in. She just sort of said, «Oh yeah that makes sense.» She then continued cutting with the part down and middle and then clarified where I wanted my part again. Naturally, she then had course correct and cut more – frankly not adjusting her work all that well – until it sort of sat well with a side part. What’s better is she said, «Oh yeah, I’m going to have to cut more to fix the part now.»
Finally, while I didn’t want a blow dry and hairdressers at Bubbles typically ask – she went in anyway, and I didn’t object because I wanted to see how the layers actually hung. I wasn’t impressed, but would have flagged the experience as mediocre, but then she whips out a curling iron. I told her, very directly: «No, thank you, I don’t want my hair to be styled.» She insisted, I said more, and then she actually put her hand on my shoulder – which at that point meant to me that I would let her proceed but say something at the front desk if I got charged more for styling. She could tell I wasn’t particularly comfortable and seemed to think that talking about how sultry my hair would look when I went out this evening would improve the situation (it was a bit awkward). About a few minutes in to the styling, without my moving, she thwacked me in the forehead with the hot iron. I know that these things happen, but honestly after saying no and finding her resistant to anything I asked the entire time it was just too much. I could hardly let her finish before I started standing up to leave.
My number one mistake here was to pay a tip. I regret doing that. She did not actually charge the full amount, and I think she made that call because she knew it wasn’t the best experience.
Bubbles, something to recommend to your stylists going forward – no means no. Sometimes a customer is not going to be great at explaining things, but if someone asks you not to do something there is no ambiguity there.
I will never go back to this location, and I sit here with a blister on my forehead, regretting paying at all.

Came by the other day in hurry, to get a simple hait cut. Person who cut my hair once before was not in, and Emily suppose to do the task. I had no time for washing, but she wanted to start cutting without even using a spray. Than she tried to detangle my hear without using a detangler. Than she cut it so bad, it looked worse than before. I am a low maintenance person, but this was below any criteria. And that costed 25 dollars. Their price with a wash is 35. I suppose I didn’t pay enough to get any attention? I could get far better treatment in any Hair Cuttery for 15 dollars.

I had a horrible experience here. I was very specific that I just wanted a simple trim and next thing I knew the stylist hacked off a huge chunk of the front of my hair (I have very thick curly hair, so it gets super short if it is shorter than shoulder length). She then proceeded to cut one very short layer and left the rest of it about 10 inches longer. I was in tears and didn’t want to pay to have it fixed again. It ended up costing me $ 50 and I have to wear my hair in a pony tail for the next few months. I recommend going somewhere slightly more expensive, but where someone will actually listen to your request.

Conveniently located in the mall. They recently updated the salon… looks great and is much more comfortable while waiting for your appointment. The hostess staff is courteous and efficient. I love that they call you the day before your appointment as a reminder… very helpful! Prices are not outrageous as they can be in some salons and I especially love that they do not hound you about buying products from them!!! They have a great assortment of hair care products available if you are interested and are happy to answer any questions you may have about them but they don’t push you to buy them. I highly recommend Mohammed as your stylist, he does a great job with cuts and coloring and is very friendly and punctual.

For background info: I usually come in to see Hilda. She is fabulous!!! She takes real good care of my hair needs/​wants. She gets all 5 Unilocal stars!
This review is for my most recent hair appt. I went in because I made the mistake of retouching my roots at home. I came in and had an appointment with Silvia. Her first comment was «you shouldn’t have done this to your hair.» I knew this and that’s why I was willing to pay money to get it fixed. Nonetheless the whole experience was nerve wrecking. She kept critiquing my hair and telling me all the issues with what I did wrong. (coming in my hair was ombré and I just retouched the roots and I wanted it to be all over light brown). I even provided her with a picture to show her the color I wanted to achieve.
As a client sitting in the chair I felt horrible because she kept making comments. Not very friendly. Next time you go in avoid seeing Silvia. Very unprofessional.

Really rude.
I was out shopping and running errands. Ran past this place and wanted to see if I get get a shampoo and trim. When I walked in the place looked empty, then a woman came from the back and yelled «SOMEONE IS HERE» and two more women peaked their heads out from a back hallway.
I asked if they would take a walk in for shampoo and trim. Her reply «It’s Father’s Day.» I asked if that meant they were closed for the day, he reply «No one is here. Everyone went home.» I look at the two women standing behind her, then back and her with an eyebrow raised. The lady tells me to have a good day, so I guess that was my queue to leave.
Pro tip: If you don’t have the staff to operate, lock your doors and close your store. Don’t allow people to come in, only to be turned away. We’ll just assume you don’t want to do our hair for other, more insidious reasons.

I rarely make an appointment more than a day ahead of time. I usually just walk in on a whim. The stylists are nice. They seem to take time to listen to my concerns. It is conveniently located inside the mall. If you park at Harris Teeter and put $ 1.00 worth of quarters in the meter, you have 2 hours worth of parking.

Needed an emergency trim for short hair and goatee as I came to town for a meeting. They took me right away and did a nice job. Price was not outlandish. I would recommend it for a mall establishment.

If you have any kind of problem with your hair (I meant it literally; any KIND), you don’t like it for any reason, or you feel there is something wrong with it, just
1-​Go directly to Washington DC area,
2-​Head toward Pentagon Mall
3-​On the first floor, find Bubbles salon and ask about Robin!
4-​Colse your eyes or take a short nap while she is doing her job.
5-​When she is done she will wake you up!
6-Don’t check your hair out!
7-Don’t even look at yourself in the mirror! just go directly to your distance, party, work, or home, you will definitely like it! everyone will ask you where did you get your hair done! I promise! she has a magical hands! she has to have a doctoral certificate in hairstyle.
But, be aware that they are a little bit expensive!

I’m originally from a place where the top hair stylists in a spa could give you a trim and a blowout for $ 45 (and good conversation). Mall cuts would usually run about $ 15, and you got what you payed for. These are mall cuts at salon prices. I have tried this place a few times with different hair stylists. Two did my ombré and a few others did some trims for me. My ombré’s were okay, but despite asking them NOT to paint them on, they both did and I ended up having to go back to my hometown to my old stylist for her to fix one of them. I thought, «I’m too busy and on too much of a budget to go to one of the salons in the area, so I’ll just get a different hair stylist and see what happens.» After today I will never, ever, ever go back to this place. Ever. It’s not that they are necessarily bad, but not one of my stylists have ever listened to what I’m telling them I want for MY HAIR! «Please no layers»…I got layers. «please don’t paint on my ombré»…it was painted. «I don’t want the treatment»…I get the treatment. «Don’t highlight around my face»…I look like a tiger. «I want frosty blonde, not golden blonde»…my hair is gold. My hometown stylist said the ombres I got from this place were done so poorly that it has ruined the structure of my hair and it’ll take growing my hair back out and cutting off all the bleached out ends for it to recover.
If you’re a guy with short hair, a child, or you seriously just need a quick trim, this place is okay. BUT, don’t go here expecting you’ll get exactly what you want. I never have and will never go back.

hi,
I went for hair cut at this salon like 3 weeks back, this woman called Chahira cut my hair and she had no idea of what layers are!!! i had some layers from my previous cut actually, she took out those layers and made my staright and now every time i see my hair i get so ANGRY and wanna beat her up!!!

This is NOT about Edgar, he’s GREAT and I still highly recommend him!
I was in a pinch and needed a hair cut on Sunday, so I went in and went to whomever they had available. It was Diane. Fine I thought… Edgar was so great so I figured the stylists here must be decent. NOT SO. She COMPLETELY IGNORED ME. I said PLEASE keep the length, I want a trim. I spent the better part of the last three years getting my hair to where it was. She asked me if I wanted the bangs done and I said «sure.» Meaning a TRIM! Also, I wanted something EASY. Not something I have to blow dry every darn day.
Well, I wear glasses and my vision sucks without them. So she was chatting and chatting and chatting and only using razors to cut my hair, and then I was kind of thinking, «gee that seems like a lot of cutting for a trim, and did she hear the three times I said my ENDS need help, so just a trim and keep the length?» But I figured these people are in customer service so she’s not going to ignore me… and let her trim.
SHE LOPPED OFF THREE INCHES OF MY HAIR! It doesn’t even hit my shoulders anymore and it’s a FOURTH GRADER’S hair cut! No style, no shape… I look like a geeky child! And I have a wave to my hair that looks ridiculous with this length unless I blow dry it, so now I HAVE to blow dry it every time I wash it. I have a one year old at home… I don’t have TIME to sit around under a blow dryer.
Plus??? I cannot go back to get it «fixed,» because she took so darn much off that I don’t want any more cut off!!! Then it would be a legitimate SHORT hair cut.
SO DO NOT just go to ANYONE there… Especially not Diane, she will not listen to what you want and just do whatever she wants to you. It’s going to take me six months to get it back to where it was.
I’m really, REALLY upset and disappointed. Thankfully, I can MOSTLY get it into a pony tail, which is where it’s going to be with a baseball cap until it doesn’t look like a kid’s bowl cut done by their mom.
I spent $ 43 ($ 35 and a $ 7 tip) on a crappy hair cut that I could have gotten at the Hair Cuttery for $ 18. I am NOT HAPPY.
