Bubbles Hair Salon

I am giving bubbles 5 stars because Toni is fantastic. I like to change my hair up often and she always has great color recommendations as well as tips for protecting and conditioning my hair. My last hair cut was also great. I showed her a picture and once she was done I looked picture perfect!

As a guy who prefers something a little nicer than Hair Cuttery I’ve been coming here intermittently throughout the years whenever I was home from college, and usually the stylists did a good job, some more than others.
For the last 6 months or so I’ve become a regular since meeting Meghan, who’s always super attentive, personable, and knew exactly what I wanted. She’s fantastic. Since coming more regularly I’ve noticed they’ve also stepped up their customer service game (ex. they didn’t used to call to confirm appointments).
I moved to Baltimore this past week and when I stopped in for my last appointment, Meghan told me that she had asked her coworkers for someone to refer me to and found me a stylist at the Bubbles in Towson who she thinks I’ll click with. I know every stylist is different at this place, and some are better than others depending on what you’re going for, but that kind of going above and beyond really made me feel taken care of. Definitely earned their 5 stars that day.

Moved back to the area recently and my usual hairstylist was no longer with Bubbles. I was apprehensive at trying out a different stylist, but Nadia has been great! I’ve seen her twice now and have been extremely satisfied with her both times. She was able to match my color and give me a long layers style that looks fantastic. I’ve had long layers before but they didn’t lay and move as nicely as the cut Nadia has given me. My second cut was so great that a few days later a total stranger came up to me while I was shopping to tell me how much she liked my hair style. Nadia is very friendly, easy to talk to and attentive.
If this review was only for Nadia it would be five stars but as it is for the Bubbles location as a whole I took other factors into consideration.
Bottom line, make your next appointment with Nadia Nassar!

I hardly ever write bad reviews but this place is terrible. I got butchered. She did not listen to what I wanted and cut all of my hair off. I got a haircut before my vacation and now I need to go hat shopping. Very untrained staff here. At least on Sunday evening

I had a great experience yesterday with tony! My hair needed a lot of TLC, she knew exactly what to do. New color, haircut, and a deep conditioning treatment has my hair looking and feeling so much better. I will be going back to see her!

Extremely disappointed with the up-​do service that was provided. We had a bridal party of four, and one of the bridesmaids decided that it would be better to have her hair not done than pay to have her hair look like the others turned out. I took in a loose picture, with a neat, tucked bun. I got a style that was hairsprayed to my head, flattened with a round brush, and the curls were messy and pin style instead of clean. It was awful. The bride’s hair was re-​done twice, and still had to be re-​done once we left. I would not recommend this salon to anyone for an up-​do, especially for the biggest day of their life.
We were told that we would have two stylists, however only one was there for the entire bridal party. This left us with not enough time to complete three styles. Very, very displeased.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Yesterday I had a scheduled appointment at 4:45, when I arrived I was told that the stylist was running about 20 minutes late and that a message had been left on my phone «about 30 minutes earlier». I informed the receptionist (Jordan) that I did not receive a message, she insisted that it had been left. I asked «what number?» She stated a number that was not mine, & I said, «no that’s not my number»; she said «it’s probably your home number»…I looked at her an said, I don’t have a land line… she insisted that she left a on my phone. I said I’d wait in the car and would call to see how late the stylist was running… when I called 15 minutes later she stated that the stylist had not even seen the customer that was scheduled before me and that it would be 30 to 40 minutes before she could see me… it was now 5:15, so I would not be seen until 6:30 for a scheduled 4:45 appointment!!! I asked to speak to the manager and Jordan stated she would not be in until Tuesday… I gave her my number and asked to be called, she said she’d give her my message. When I asked her to repeat my number she couldn’t, when I called her by name she asked for my number again and said she’d have her call me, I’m not going to hold my breath! Needless to say, I won’t be going anywhere near a Bubbles…

Great shop with professional and courteous stylists! I cannot say enough good things about Lauren!!!

First off, my wife is writing this: I think I have only written one other review on Unilocal,but I had to rave! Donita cut my hair today and she did an AMAZING job! It was the first time that I 1) initially LIKED the haircut while still being in the chair and 2) didn’t feel the need to run home and restyle it! We’re moving away from the area soon, but I will definitely make a way to come back for Donita! Thank you!

Have been coming here for 3 years — a hair salon record for me! But I keep coming back because of Donita. She is great with color and cut — my hair is just below my shoulders and she knows how to do a natural looking cut with layers. Easy to talk to — always a good thing when you’re sitting in a chair and can’t go anywhere for 2+ hours (when doing color). I like Bubbles, but it’s the stylist that really matters. I’ll follow Donita if she ever moves to another salon.

I get my hair colored and cut by Tyler and she is my FAV
Always appreciate all Tyler suggests/​offers
She does an excellent job on my hair every time!
Thnkx bubbles & Tyler

Bubbles has done a great job of accommodating me when I’ve come as a walk-​in – and also has worked me in with little notice for a double-​appointment. Brianna and Rhapsody have both done a good job with my thick, hard-​to-​manage hair. And they were personable and professional. The prices aren’t great at this salon – but I’ve seen worse also.

I come here regularly to have my stacked, A-​line bob touched up. At first, I really didn’t care which stylist did my hair, since I figured they were all professionals and could do about the same job. This worked for a while, and then I got my hair done by one of Bubbles’ male stylists who really messed up the back of my head. The difference wasn’t noticeable when I left, but after I showered for the first time after the cut, I was not satisfied.
I made an appointment for about five or so days later and was assigned to Tanya. I told her about what happened, and she listened to me intently. When I was done, she excused herself, and went to the back of the store to speak with a manager or coworker. When she returned, she told me that she was going to do my hair for me for free that day, and that she was very sorry for the bad experience I had during my last appointment. She touched up my bob perfectly, and now I will not see anyone but her at Bubbles!
Basically, if you are going in without knowing what your stylist is capable of, this salon is hit-​or-​miss. However, when you find your niche with one of their better stylists, it can be a great experience!

I’m updating my last review to say how much I still enjoy coming here. They rotate through stylists a lot but everyone I’ve had is great. I usually get a hair cut, lip wax and blowout.
This time around I got a discount from my points card which was a nice bonus. They have lowered the music too so it’s a much more relaxing experience now. It gets really crowded on the weekends here but I usually go after work on the weekday with an appointment and have never had a problem.
I’d still recommend this for a nice, cheap-​ish salon for good services!

If you’re going to choose Bubbles, at least pick the one in Sterling or the one in the Dulles mall. I used to go to the Leesburg one because it was the cheapest for what they give you. The guy I used was awesome but ended up leaving for whatever reason. I used Bahar after and she did great work with my inverted bob haircut.
Management is horrible! The last time I went (2 years ago) the computer system went down right before I had to pay, so the only option I had was to write them a check and the manager took it. A week later, they called me and said they lost my check and I would have to write another one or pay over the phone. How the hell they lost a check is beyond me because it seemed to have never existed to them. I then had to call the bank to cancel the check, which was a $ 30 fee from the bank. I told them about this cost and how I would have to pay for something that wasn’t my fault. She seemed confused and then said I could come in for a free haircut. I was beyond annoyed and never came back for a haircut. I have been to the Sterling and Dulles bubbles and they were great.

I think a good haircut is reflective of the stylist, not the salon. I’ve gone to top salons in NY, and gotten bad haircuts. And I’ve gone to Bubbles, and gotten great ones. Likewise, I’ve gotten stellar cuts in NY salons, and bad cuts at hair cutting chains.
That said — I think Brie is top notch. She cuts with confidence. And the haircut is always cute and current. I’ve also seen Melba, and she’s just as good. For $ 35, these cuts are a steal!

I have been to this bubbles (in Leesburg) about 5 different times and had 5 different stylists. Each stylist did an amazing job. They listened to what I wanted (which is always something different… long…short…blonde…brunette…you name it) and gave me advice on the best cuts and colors for my face and complexion. I love bubbles. They really invest the time and money to train and educate their employees on the latest fashions. And they’re half the price of red door spas. Seriously awesome!

I’ve gone to this Bubbles quite a few times. i had this page up when I made my appt. for today and saw the recommendation for Ruthie. I requested her and glad that I did. Great service and awesome haircut. She listened to what I wanted and gave her own input as well to make it all right. I would give her 5 stars.
Only giving the place 4 stars since my last hair cut there was horrible and chick, can’t remember the name, listened to nothing I wanted. Also, in the past I have used Rene and she is pretty good too.

Horrible service. I went on a Monday around one and I just wanted a trim. The receptionist passed my info to the first stylist and she mumbled something and she said wasn’t going to do it. The receptionist then walked the ticket to the other stylist in the back and that stylist said the other stylist needed to do it. The stylist who sits in the second seat to the left. I didn’t wait on a third stylist telling the receptionist no… Nonetheless I walked out, really who’s going to sit in the chair after that. Have some business etiquette!

I have been going to see Ruthie at Bubbles in Leesburg for about 6 months now and would highly recommend her! I have fairly difficult hair, long, thick, curly and she always gets the cut right. She is even better with color! She listens, records what she did the time before, and does not take offense to suggestions from her client. The cost is lower than I have paid at other salons (30 for cut, 50 for color) and the experience is just as good if not better.
