Hair Cuttery

The experience here is very dependent on who you get, but I’ve had the same stylist twice so my comments are based on this. I had one haircut by Lynn (not even sure she still works there; these places have really high turnover) that was outstanding but I’ve had 2 haircuts by Howie who seems to be there all the time. Very perfunctory, aggressive cool water shampoo, followed by «middle part cut it shorter» standard-​issue haircut. I don’t have high expectations but even so! I’ve just got your basic bob haircut, nothing complicated but there’s still good and mediocre ways to cut hair even in these places. For one thing he didn’t use any clips to section my hair which every other stylist has always used, so the resulting hair cut isn’t as layered as it could be – actually none of it is as blended as it could be so will take a few weeks of growing out to look better than a somewhat choppy DIY job in front of a mirror ;-). Maybe Howie is better at men’s hair? Given how fast he cuts and how non-​chit-​chatty he is (not necessarily a bad thing), I get the feeling that’s his primary clientele. Anyway my advice for ladies is to wait for someone else. Maybe Eva based on another review? I know I will next time. No hard feelings though Howie.

I have been getting my hair trimmed there for about 2 years now, usually by Eva, the master stylist. I pay a few dollars more for her, but have always been pretty happy with her cuts. I also used Tony one time, and was also pleased with him. I have fairly short hair, and go every 5 – 6 weeks and get what I pay for, a good basic trim. I was surprised to read so many negative reviews, as I have never been unhappy with their service.

I should have listened to the bad reviews, but I decided to experience it for myself. I am new to Virginia and was in search for a good place to get a haircut. This place was the closest, so I decided to give them a try. For a shampoo and haircut, it is $ 18. I wanted layers and straight bangs. When I entered, the lady at the front desk was busy doing something on the register and did not even acknowledge me until i asked where I sign in. She pointed to a kiosk behind me without even looking at me. Rude. I was seen within five minutes of getting there, so I thought, so far so good. The lady that cut my hair, I believe her name was Kim, seemed to have NO idea what she was doing. My bangs look horrible because she cut them too far back on my head and some of my layers looked like they were just cut straight across! Overall, I was very unsatisfied with my haircut and will not return.

I walked in at 1pm on Thursday for a shampoo & blowdry for $ 18. There were 3 stylists working, two taking walkins & one coloring. I waited 20 minutes but was helped by Howie who gave me a pretty aggressive shampoo (scrubbing vigorously). He used pretty much cold to cool water which I was ok with as it’s hot out. Blow dry was normal though the blow dryer wasn’t very hot. He did not ask how I parted my hair & he parted it down the middle. I parted it myself then walked towards the register like he was ready for me to pay &leave. He left the towel on my shoulder he walked away so fast! Parts of my hair are still damp near my ears and nape of my neck AND crown but whatever, it was $ 18 & the salon down the street wanted $ 45. I would go back for a quick wash if I were ever inclined.

I have extremely curly hair that is actually pretty easy to beat into submission.
I have NEVER walked out of a salon blow drying my hair and been THIS upset with it.
I have an event to attend and can’t even fix it. I paid to hate the job and want zero pictures at the event — and I’m a picture nut.
There are better options and the price is not as good as it appears.

Came in with all these photos on my phone because I wanted to finally try a new hairstyle with my big curly hair. The lady instead shears off sides and back and combs it back like I told her I’ve always done… and didn’t want to do anymore…
Any hair stylists that wanna actually show someone how to style hair? Every time I go to a different place nobody seems to want to style hair. I thought that’s what people learned at cosmetology :-/

I think I had Lisa cut my hair. I have long, frizzy/​curly hair and asked for her to just trim an inch off with longer layers. I explained I wear it both curly and straight so it had to look good both ways. She did a great job and it looked really decent for $ 16 or something. I did not get her to blow dry it and just left with it wet, which also saved me some money and time.
The people who are complaining about minor things really need to reevaluate where they are getting their hair cut. This is the Hair Cuttery, not a fancy salon. If you’re so picky or sensitive about your hair, go pay more for someone to do it elsewhere. It’s really illogical to me why you’d come here.

Took my 7 year old here on Saturday. Anh have her a fine trim. However Anh tried to lift her up onto a booster and told her she was heavy and the male stylist next to her said «just like your mother». We are average size people and this was offensive. They should be spoken to and learn some class.

I was a little nervous transitioning from high end haircutting to a budget salon when I went to Hair Cuttery at Mosaic. The Unilocal reviews didn’t help, but my years of stupidly paying $ 60+ for a haircut are over so I dragged myself in to this salon. Score! I will be a repeat costumer. I saw Lisa and was more pleased than I have ever been getting my haircut for the following reasons, she:
Gave me exactly what I asked for and even gave me a mirror during the cut to check in and make sure I was happy
Didn’t rush me, yet was very efficient and didn’t waste our time by washing and drying my hair (simple water bottle is all it takes!)
Didn’t push products on me
Take the chance on this salon and use the extra $ for dinner at Matchbox!

BEWARE! I am not the kind of person who feels it’s necessary to pay high prices to simply get a hair trim. Therefore, the Hair Cuttery seemed an ideal place to go. I went at the end of June and saw Parwin. I told her I wanted to get rid of the remaining layers i had so she just trimmed it and I was quite pleased. When October came around I thought it was time for another trim although my hair was healthy. I went to see Parwin again. I sat down told her I wanted to trim a half inch. She suggested an inch but since I am trying to grow out my hair I agreed to compromise at ¾ of an inch. She then asked me «Do you want layers?» (obv she did not remember me at all) to which I replied, «NO, my hair is too thin.» She starts cutting my hair and she appeared to cut it exactly the same way she did the first time. Since I was pleased the first time I didn’t feel nervous or distrusting of her. Although at one point I did say to her not to cut too much. My hair was blow dryed and I looked in the mirror to my horror. Basically everything I didn’t want for my hair was reflected back to me. My hair was layered and angled. It was also about 3 – 4 inches shorter at the front angles. She spins the chair for me to see the layers as if I am going to be pleased with her work. I could not hide my reaction. I wanted to run for the hills and I just remember saying, «this is not what I wanted.» All I wanted was a simple hair TRIM. Instead I got a ridiculously complicated cut resulting in a new hair style. I have spent YEARS growing out my layers and in an instant I am back at square 1 because of her unprofessionalism and lack of care for her client. I did not pay for the cut but it doesn’t make up for the time I will lose with this miserablely short hair-​do. Not to mention, I spent the following 2 days crying and for 2 weeks did nothing but go to work and go straight to bed. My hair takes FOREVER to grow out so this was very tramatic for me. Even now, every time I look in the mirror I get upset. It makes me sick to think that these people are licensed and they are not even competent enough to do as requested even when it is the easiest request possible. Due to this experience, I will NEVER again go to a salon. I want my hair to be a certain way and length. It is now clear to me that hair dressers don’t give a damn about their clients or what they want.

I came here because I was going out later and I need my eyebrows done STAT. I asked how long the wait would be and learned I could go right back. I was happy since I was low on time. The lady who waxed my eyebrows did just an okay job. I am very picky about my eyebrows because if you can’t get the job done with waxing then by all means tweeze! She did a few hairs with the tweezers and that was it. I got home where I could see the job in better natural lighting and it didn’t look good. I had to straighten things out before going out. Would I go again? Nah probably not.

Ha is awesome. Love the computer check in but only reason I come back is Ha and I’m particular about my hair.

As with the previous reviewer, I was a little hesitant to get my hair cut here. In my experience, low-​cost salons like this are hit or miss at best and I usually wind up feeling like I’ve been rushed through. considering what the stylists make per cut, it seems like they do that to maximize the. number of customers they serve and, therefore, bring in more money. It is understandable, but I like my haircut to be a relaxing and being rushed kind of prevents that. Thankfully, that was NOT my experience here. I coincidentally wound up with Tony, the stylist previously recommended, and he was excellent. He took the time to listen to me about what I wanted and then was meticulous about doing it perfectly. I’ve had high dollar salons not to as nice a job as he did. Will definitely be back.

I was terrified to go into this salon. I’m very picky about the way my hair is cut because it’s long and I have a LOT of hair. I went in and was seen by Tony. He listened to what I wanted with my hair and did EXACTLY what I asked for. On top of that, he did a GREAT blow dry on my hair. I couldn’t believe what an amazing job they did. I’ve recommended Tony to my mom and anyone that is looking for a nice and inexpensive place to get their hair done. For my long hair (which, if your hair is past your shoulders a blow dry is an extra $ 10) a shampoo, cut and blow dry was only $ 31. I COULD NOT believe what a great cut I got. Currently I know that Tony works Monday and Wednesday from 9a — 3p and Friday from 2p — 8p. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!!
