Hair Cuttery

For a trim (1 inches max), $ 18 isn’t bad at all. However, do not come here for a quality trim. Wait wasn’t long on a Saturday, which is a plus because I walked in on a whim to get a trim.
[Another tip: always ALWAYS do your research on who you want your hair stylist to be and NOT be because the experience can just make or break your day.]
I had Azie; she was pretty attentive and nice but I won’t be coming back because what I thought was an «okay» trim, turns out to be an uneven, choppy layered cut in the back. I’d rather make an appointment at the Aveda Training salon in downtown DC because they take their time to make the cut to your satisfaction and need to get it checked by their instructors, which is a plus for me.

I came here few times and is always some problem. I have extension which is very common in this times … Unfortunately they always try to get more money for me, the last time I went to blow dry my hair. They try to charge me 83 for blow dry my hair and curly. Crazy of course I said no… but is very over price I won’t come come back!

(3.5 stars)
My friend and I had some trouble with finding a hair appointment last minute, as well as finding an affordable one too. I actually was looking for a hair trim, and a lot of places priced their trims/​cuts at $ 50±-unfortunate because I just wanted an inch cut off. So we came across Hair Cuttery, which priced the hair trim for me at $ 18 at the lowest and for my friend, it was pricier because her hair was longer and she asked for the shampoo. I had my hair trimmed while it was dry since I didn’t want to pay extra for a shampoo and blowdry. Since it was a walk-​in, we got to wait only 30 minutes.
The hair stylist I was given didn’t smile or make much conversation with me when she started cutting. The lack of friendliness and communication was a reason why this place didn’t get another star from me, but she was accommodating to my requests and did an excellent job trimming my hair and making it more symmetrical (I used to have an asymmetrical long bob). I felt kind of uncomfortable with her straight face and the silence, but her work made up for it. She even did an excellent job at trimming my bangs without it being too long or too short!
On another note, the place seemed to lack proper air conditioning and it was so hot/​humid. My main concern was mostly the customer service, but if you’re looking for an affordable hair trim in the mall, this place is a steal!

WORST EXPERIENCE! WATCH OUT! YOU DON’T WANNA CRY!
Everyday I get up in the morning and blame myself for choosing this location for a haircut! If they are not able to provide the service, they should not put the catalogues or choices for customers! First of all, the promotions they have or the special offers they have are misleading, they will ask for extra money for some add ON which is compulsory. I went to get a haircut, no one really cared to greet or welcome, there was a chaos (never go on weekends, they don’t take appointments, so you are not in good hands for sure, only if you have anyone special that you like!).
Then these well groomed ladies, ask you to take a seat (hand over to whoever is available). I was amused to see the catalogue rack and picked up one, let me tell you it wasn’t that fancy even! Then I ask her to make my cut look similar, not even exact. She says, Nobody here can do that haircut, except the manager. (She went to her colleague telling something about the situation, and the other girl is giving me this dirty look! How can she even do that to their customers, just because they are incapable to provide service!) She tries to proceed without listening to me and wet my hair in haste. I told her, I just need the haircut which is the one I do regularly, I explained her how much to cut, but she is unable to communicate properly and asks me to wait for 10 minutes. I wait drying my hair for 25 minutes and then the manager arrives. I thought that’s ok, she will take care of me. She assured me that she can do the haircut that I wanted. And there she goes, cutting my hair more and more and more! I was telling her again and again that I need this much length, and she says, I am not finished yet! Yes, yes, I will do that! And she finished with a terrible length left over my head.
I am so not happy with them! NEVER GO HERE! NEVER EVER! Save your money, save your hair!
I won’t go here, even if they offer me a deluxe-​luxury-​complimentary-​special-​blah blah blah service to compensate! Sorry ladies, you ain’t touching my hair! No one from Hair cuttery!
(I gave her tip not for her horrible work but for the time she spent in my case, she tried to do something but ended up with bad everything!)

If you have short hair/​fade ask for Alina. She does a great job and is very friendly.

I will never go there anymore, I recently went to cut my hair there, guess what? Big mistake it was the worse hair cut I never had before, first my hair had a lot of gel and that lady washed it, but at the end I asked her can you wash my hair? She said, AGAIN??? I told her I have too much hair on me she said not your not, believe me, and obviously she DID NOT CUT my hair good, she is the worse hair stylist In the world, She shouldn’t work there!

I received good service from a very nice woman here. Nothing out of the ordinary but nothing bad either.

I got my hair cut here over the weekend. The stylist did a good job with the hair. She tried to upsale on the service, which I didn’t care for. Overall, not bad for the price.

I am generally not a fan of Hair Cuttery — been disappointed for the most part. But the last couple of times I have been to this location since it is close to work and the timings work for me.
I had Mandy cut my hair and she has been unlike any other stylist at Hair Cuttery (which is a good thing)!
She has cut my hair close to what I like and has been clean and good at her work too. both times, I wanted to be a tad bit shorter than what she did but both times she was reluctant to go the distance — and that is why just the 3 stars.
But the cut was still acceptable and I would go back to her again and see if third time will be the charm.
As for other stylists — I don’t know enough to say yay or nay.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Alaina cut my hair and she cut way too much off and was incredibly rude — terrible customer service and NO PROFESSIONALISM. Hair was all over my neck and forehead and I had to ask another person to help me wipe it off since Alaina did not.
She was AWFUL. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

I took my mother here and all I can say is AVOID MAI N!!! The cut is the worst. Also there were strands that were left unattended behind the ear and in the back, so random pieces that were 2 inches long that I had to point out and have cut for her.
I think the point of going to Hair Cuttery is to get an affordable cut, but in my opinion, it’s not that cheap and you walk away with an ugly haircut. I think her cut was $ 17 + tip.
Shop around. You can go to nice salons and get a cut for $ 30!!!

If you go to Haircuttery in Tyson’s Mall, Be sure to ask for Kimberly Cosmetology (I don’t think that’s her real last name) she is awesome! After you first see her she is soooo stylish and when you meet her you see the confidence she is amazing with all customer not only hers, she tries her best to help everyone and she is very very sweet. I was referred by a friend who could not stop talking about her color and fantastic style. When I saw my friend in person I knew that I had to get Kimberly to do my color. I was worried at first because my friend and I have different textures of hair but then I said to myself Just try her out. I am sooo glad that I did… Kimberly gave me a fantastic consultation before we did anything. This put me at ease because she told me from start to finish what she recommends and why as well as how much my total would be. After the walk through I decided I wanted it all, I have small children and us women deserve to be pampered. I got the whole package. I will never forget the color that I chose because the names sound so fun, it was called Sangria. Kimberly gave me an awesome treatment and trim not a cut and flat ironed my curly hair super straight. I don’t know if it was the color or what but my hair was soooo shiny and bouncy. I have referred all of my friends and I am def. going back to see Kimberly. I live in Maryland and for me she is sooo worth the drive. The only downside is that she can’t take appointments because she is not a master stylist, which I think is ridiculous, she should be a master stylist and she should be able to take appointments. When I went to see her on a Wednesday evening it was not a long wait!
¼/​2012 I went back to Kimberly for my Sangria Color Touch-​up, my hair still looks and feels Great! She really is Awesome! The downside is that the mall took out the stairs by Lord and Taylors its hard to find parking if you go later in the day, also she still does’nt take appoinntments.

Let me start off by saying this not the first, second, or even third place I would’ve thought of going to for a haircut.
For the last 2 years I was going to a high end salon and paying $ 200+ for cut and highlighting (not even styling). My last time there my stylist destroyed my hair, to say the least. It looked like I was trying to blend in with zebras with stripes in horrid hues of black and tainted blond. Not joking. I have to look good for my job and this place was not cutting it, no pun intended.
The next day, while at Tysons (obviously shopping makes everything better…) I went to the Hair Cuttery and was assigned to a master-​stylist named Kim.
Kim is good. I mean REALLY good. She has an eye for color and cut. And what makes it better is that her philosophy is to make her clients look good, because that — ultimately — is her business card. If that thought alone doesn’t sell you, then I don’t know what else will.
For those of you who like your hair done a certain way: take in all the photos you want: coloring, cut, and style. She’s great at adapting it to your hair.
For those of you who like trusting the experts: tell her what you’re looking to achieve, be it fashion forward, conservative, etc.

This place is good!
I was a bit worried when I saw the low scoring reviews, but it was an emergency and I had to find a place that was relatively cheap but still skilled enough to fix my problem.
You see, originally I went to ANOTHER place to get my hair cut for a wedding that’s coming up and they completely botched it. I asked for a fade and they gave me something that looked like a mini mushroom. (I noticed this AFTER I got home and washed out the product they put in my hair) Anyways, I digress, I had to find a way to fix my hair so I came here!
Walking in I was pleasantly surprised to see it bustling with activity. The moment I walked in someone asked if I needed help, I said I was here for a hair cut. She immediately got me a spot — keep in mind the place was packed! (Maybe I just got lucky).
To make a long story short I was very pleased with the results. I told the hair stylist, whose name is Freeba, my issue and she noticed it right away. I told her what I was trying to go for and she nodded her head, took out some sheers and went to work. As I watched her work I could see my hair transform into something way more presentable and in a style I wouldn’t mind showing off.
I also got lucky because she was one of the Master Stylists, who would’ve normally charged an extra few bucks (19 $ not including tip) but considering my situation I was charged the normal amount (16 $ not including tip), which also comes with a nice shampoo rub down. And to be perfectly honest, I would pay 19 $ any day for a hair cut that looked this good, as opposed to the 30 $ I paid at the OTHER place.
I can’t testify to how they do with women’s hair, although I did see quite a few women there, which must mean it’s pretty good; but GUYS, definitely check this place out if you’re looking for those nice, clean cuts. If you can, ask for Freeba (she may be by appointment only tho), she definitely knows what she’s doing and it’s only 3 bucks more — totally worth it!
Thanks for saving my life, Freeba! I’ll be back again!

I went to get a haircut yesterday and Mai Ngo said she’ll do it. I showed her what I wanted and what I have is in no way, even similar to the cut I showed her.
She left the righ side longer than the left, chopped a big chunk of hair behind my righ ear and the whole cut is uneven. I called the place to speak to the manager and Mai answer the phone. Explained to her what she had done and asked to speak to the manager, she and her co-​workers were laughing at me (yes, I actually heard all they said) and told the manager what happened and also to tell Mai to stop laughing, because I could hear everything they said. Don’t go to this place!
Now, I have to drive 20 miles to go there again to see if someone can fix this. By the time I’m done my hair will look incredibly short! Again, do not go there!!!

I wrote a letter to Better Business Bureau and Ratner Companies responded to my complaint. They reimbursed me for my $ 80 haircut and apologized for the terrible haircut. They said that my pictures were quite telling of the hack job that this woman did on my hair.
AGAIN…AVOID THE HAIR CUTTERY AT TYSONS CORNER MALL!!! Not all are bad… just this ONE!!!

Been here many times for a decent haircut. I’ve never had a bad haircut in this outlet, and I even have a regular person I see when I go there. I’m definitely a fan of this Haircuttery. Ask for Azie if you go.

Every time I go, I see the same person — Sokun. She takes me promptly, she’s on-​trend, she’s quick without rushing, and she doesn’t jabber at me. She’s offered me suggestions that have been complimentary to my look. She doesn’t try to talk me into a bunch of stuff that I don’t need.
I get in. I get a great hair cut. I walk out looking like a million bucks without spending a million bucks.
What more could I want? I think she’s fantastic; therefore, I think the shop is fantastic.
UPDATE — I’m still going to see Sokun (whose name I misspelled the first time I wrote — Sorry!) and apparently, three people have read this review and started going to see her! I just went to get a haircut over the weekend and she told me that three people have come in from seeing her name in my review on Unilocal and she has three new customers now! I’m so glad for her. She’s wonderful. I got a gift certificate to Bubbles and I wouldn’t use it for a hair cut. I went in and bought product, then I went upstairs to have Sokun cut my hair. I hope she never goes anywhere!
P. S. She didn’t cut my hair in the picture. :D (That’s not really a very good haircut. I’d hate to have her blamed for it.)

This review is a bit dated but now I finally have caught up to put pen to paper.
For those who have seen my reviews, note what I put at the bottom — five stars while Ash is there. However, he has since moved on and like Kyle said, the staff will give you a bullshit line and say they don’t know where he went. Well, like I do with the government for a living, let me help them find their ass with two hands — HE WENT NEXT DOOR TO LE SALON. There, I said it. When I went in and asked where he went in March, they gave me the song and dance that they didn’t know where he went, and yet, had the nerve to tell me to go to the same lady who screwed up my hair the first time I went. NO THANKS.
If you were Ash’s customer, go next door to Le Salon — if not, then take your chances with Hair Cuttery and see if you like them. I believe in fair shakes and while I had a bad experience, you might not.

I went to Hair Cuttery last year based off Jake’s recommendation that Ash was a great barber. After my visit I finally felt like I could stop searching for my one and only barber.
Unfortunately, something happened between Ash and the store and he no longer works there. Every time I inquire where he is, the current staff give me a mean look and say «we don’t know.»
I know they know where he is cutting now they just won’t tell anyone. This is why I will never go back to this hair cuttery. That and because no one else there can cut like Ash.
