KLS Studios

I love Kls! I’ve been going here for close to 3 years and never been disappointed. I love Karen (facials, waxing), Jeanette (cut, color), and Lucy for mani pedis. The products carried by this salon are really good. No one ever tries to push for any unnecessary services or products.
I highly recommend the salon. I always walk out smiling and content.

The very best Hair salon in the TriState area and very much in line with New York, Los Angeles, Milan, London and Paris Salons. The Business is spear headed by three very smart and qualified women who have built and nurtured a great team of women mavericks whom I refer to as very artistic, creative, and trail blazers in their profession. I have known many of the players at KLS for over ten years and my personal artist has served me for 10 years and she amazes me every time she does my hair. She is so good in her profession that over the years she has been invited by her clients to attend their wedding affairs and events outside the Continental USA. As I have observed these team of mavericks are Maestro in their profession and they accomplish it by listening to their clients, understanding their requirements and then proposing a style that addresses their needs. A very simple client focused no drama approach, built on integrity and the Trust factor. In summary KLS Business Model is a great example for those women leaders who maybe insecure to empower or support other women and those who believe in purely selling rather than first listening & understanding the customers’ needs. The leadership of this business stands behind their brand and they have instilled this mantra among their staff members too, hence if there is ever an issue with any services offered, the employee can take the necessary steps to rectify the issue and satisfy the client fully. I am a very tough client to please but my gifted stylist for long curly hair always does a superb job. This is a boutique intimate business and every member working here is open, flexible, disruptive in their styling mechanism and they do respect their clients preferences’ (whether a client wants to indulge in small talk or just stare and be quiet). In short I love this salon and the team members who work here. Thank you Shama

I’m just leaving KLS Studios today, before the major snowstorm hits us, after my first men’s hair cut from Jeanette.
Honestly, Jeanette is the best stylist I’ve ever been to (exception is SW)! The hair cut is inspired, and that’s not a word I use regularly :)
Plus, Jeanette is a gem, both professionally and personally. I liked her instantly and she was pleasant, not chatty (I prefer :), but had nice things to say, and is a great family person.
As a matter of fact, I made an appointment for my son with Jeanette and he’ll be equally thrilled.
Great job, Jeanette and thanks for much for such a nice, comfortable, non judgmental hair experience… important to us older dudes ;)
I’ll be back!
Thanks!

I recently moved here and searched for a good stylist which lead me to KLS and an appointment with Nicole. I’m extremely picky about my color and cut and used to pay $ 160 for color and cut which is an average price. While I have no reservations about Nicole’s haircutting and styling abilities and can honestly applaud her work what she lacks is customer service skills. She makes it seem like its a bother for her that you’re even in her chair. No small talk whatsoever. Not that I expect a lot of it because I like to sit and read a magazine. I felt like I could cut the air with a knife with her coolness and it was only the second time I’d been there. I’m not sure if it’s major PMS or personal problems but when your customer is paying $ 240+ you better be providing some good and happy customer service. While I can easily afford this price I believe it’s a lot to pay for a stylist who makes you feel like you shouldn’t be there. She needs to go to HAPPY school and polish up on her customer service skills. I understand everyone has bad days but if you had a bad day, call the customer and explain why. Sorry but you just lost a customer.

Most wonderful day spent at KLSStudios:) Thanks to Lucy for an amazing pedicure and Molly for a fantastic haircut and highlights. They both made my birthday weekend extra special. Very professional and heavenly! Thank you.

I’ve been going to KLS for over a year and it is wonderful every time. Friendly, competitively priced, and high quality service all around.

Had a great first experience at KLS Studios. Molly gives a great men’s cut and the services were top notch.

Work at a job where I have to travel at a moment’s notice so after having canceled numerous hair appointments last minute, I now just call when I’m in town and see who I can get, which is why I try and go to highly respected salons like KLS. I had my first color & cut with Jo Dene — great color but she cut my hair a bit too short (hey, it was the first time we’d met, totally understand). Was back in town last weekend, roots showing, so I called and with Jo Dene unavailable, was scheduled with Molly. Now KLS isn’t inexpensive ($ 250 for Jo Dene and $ 170 for Molly) and while I’m lucky to have the disposable income to pay, it’s not chump change. For that price, I expect a modicum of service… a cup of tea, nice shampoo service (and boy, they do GREAT shampoos) and some magazines or tv to keep my attention while the color process does its thing. So, I was a bit disappointed with Molly — no offer of tea, magazines or anything else that was beyond the focus of «cut & color». But what really disappoints me is that here wasn’t any personalized service. She assured me she’d talked to Jo Dene, had gotten the details on the color used previously, so set me down and went to work before taking the time to look at my hair, ask if the current color was working for me or if I wanted something different. Ok, must be a busy day, no problem. Sadly though, after I got home, I noticed my roots were much darker than the rest of my hair. Imagine auburn roots on a honey color head. Looked like I had a highlight job growing out — ugh. I was already back on travel so called and to KLS credit, was scheduled with Molly the following weekend. Molly had no problem adding some highlights to my bangs and took the time to offer tea/​water. She also alerted me that while the highlights were free, a full blow dry would cost but if all I wanted was to dry my bangs to check the color, she could do that. Sure — so imagine my surprise when after my shampoo I was sat in front of a mirror, given a basket of tools (including a hair dryer) and told to go for it. It’s when I’m sitting there wondering where to plug in the hairdryer in that I start chuckling. Really? It’s not like I was a demanding twit who asked for a whole do over — was it too much to expect some personalized attention to make sure that the highlights resolved my concerns? For the amount of $$, shouldn’t there be a comparable level of service? So in six weeks, when those roots are begging for color, will I return to KLS? Not sure.

I have been coming here ever since the salon opened. I followed Jeanette here — she is the BEST. She’s awesome with all hair types, she can do any color you want — she literally works with a magic wand. :-) I normally get a highlight, but the last time I went, she said «Let me try something new!» I totally trusted her, and my goodness, my hair has never looked so good. I got so many compliments from family, friends, and co-​workers on my hair. I can’t say enough good things about her — suffice it to say, being a client of hers for 10 years has been worth every penny.

Love this place and Jeannette is really great! She’s very fast and does a great job! I also love Yris the shampoo-​er. She is very good, massages your head and gives a little back rub at the end.
I followed Jeannette from salon nordine and really like KLS better because salon nordine was always very loud and this salon is smaller and a little quieter.
The color bar is great and the tv’share always tuned to HGTV which is my guilty pleasure which I never get to watch at home with my husband and son.
I highly recommend this place! I’ve only had my hair done and always by Jeannette but if you’re looking for a new place, try it out.
No tips on credit cards but you can write a check for cash to leave tips.

So I have been a client of Heather’s for many years, I followed her from a previous salon she worked at. She is the best stylist I have had in years, she knows how OCD I am about my hair, and she is great. I always get a perfect cut with her. Sometimes we do color and it always comes out looking good. In the past I have had her do extensions for me as well, she is an expert with them. I won’t go anywhere else, unless she does… :-)

If you have curly hair, Jeannette is one of the best stylists I have ever been to. She takes her time, studies your hair, and listens to what you want. She’s great. Yes, pricey, but curlies generally need their hair cut less often than straight haired girls, so I find it reasonable. I knocked one star off for the ambience of the salon. It’s very modern inside and I like that, but it is so LOUD and crowded every time I go. Not at all the relaxing experience getting a haircut should be.

Former client who never had a great experience here. My stylist always seemed distracted by her phone and other clients walking by, which left me feeling like a nuisance to her wedding planning or chatty-​time. I often felt like I’d just gotten a trim when I’d expected a freshened style, and at $ 65ish a visit (plus tip), I rarely felt satisfied.
One perk was the washing station, which is directly across from the color-​bar. The stations were comfortable with foot rests, and the staff there always did a nice wash and massage.
Small — but important — annoyances to me were the inability to add tip to credit card payments (you need cash or can write them a check to cash — who carries checks?!), and no appointment booking online (call-​in only).

Robyn is great at blonde color. I’ve moved from Cali and been to way to many hair salons in the past year in NoVa. I saw a random girl at a restaurant and asked her to share her stylist :). She referred me to Robyn.
Only thing I’ll mention negative is that I did have an appointment and had to cancel due to an emergency. Granted first time canceling with them. The receptionist was a little snarky with me saying that they have a 24hr policy. I apologized, but didn’t appreciate the attitude. I did make the time to call in a terrible personal situation.

Just tried to book a second haircut appointment and the receptionist who answered the call was terrible. She was not at all helpful and sounded both bored and annoyed as I tried repeatedly to help her help me find an appointment. Rather than offering any possible openings, she just kept telling me «no» as I proposed times. I liked the haircut I got last time from Robin, but I won’t be going back do to the lousy assistance in getting an appointment.

Heather is awesome! Not only does she know how to cut bangs and layers, but she is super nice too! I was just getting a bang trim and I asked her if she had time for a full haircut. She did not, but she just dry cut layers in my hair for free. It looks great and my hair feels so much lighter. Thanks Heather!

I have curly hair and I mean really curly! It’s so difficult to find a stylist who knows what to do with it rather than just suggesting a trim or a layer.
i walked into KLS and was greeted with by a cheery receptionist and out comes Jeanette to meet me… I must admit the first thing I did was look at her hair… it was curly! :) So she knew what i had to deal with on a daily basis.
I had a sort-​of vision of what i wanted and kind-​of did an ok job of explaining it to her but she totally got it! She made me a part of the process and it felt great to see the wonderful outcome…
The service is amazing… they served me wine while I was getting my hair color done and someone kept checking in… Overall a great experience and I’m gonna stick to Jeanette for my hairstyles!
Worth the price…

Jeanette. That’s all I need to say! If you want an artist with an eye who knows cut and color like someone from NYC, see Jeanette! As both former NYer’s –Jeanette gets it & knows hair. Mine is fine, curly, & grey — not the easiest to work with & she worked her miracles & made me look 10 years younger. At least I FEEL 10 years younger! My neighbor, who has thick gorgeous bob goes to her too. Multi-​talented, soothing & personable. The salon has a great set up & is non– intimidating. Not inexpensive, but not out outrageous here in NoVa. Very pleased.

Ehh, not worth the price for a haircut. Shampoo was so so, cut was nothing special, service good. If it wasn’t so pricey I would’ve given three stars. Definitely experienced better elsewhere.

I am not from Virginia and I needed to have a blow out during my stay. Both times I went, each time I had a different stylist (same one was not available) they both did a really nice job. Im sorry I forgot their names. Both were female, one was blonde, and one had reddish hair I believe. i have really long, thick, curly hair, and they managed to handle my mane well. Usually, when I go up to VA I feel like they are not used to doing my hair I’m hispanic and in Miami almost everyone is as well. And I was happy to see that KLS knew how to do a proper blow out, without overcharging me because I have a lot of hair but its beautiful when blown out.
