Reed Manning Aveda

I absolutely love this place, and will never go anywhere else. My mom is a loyal customer, and after I had a hair catastrophe in Fall 2013 while I was away at school in a neighboring city (and I had a formal event to be at the next night), JoAnn at Reed Manning was nice enough to squeeze me in in between her appointments to fix what another salon did. She chose the perfect fix and made my hair look absolutely GORGEOUS! Needless to say, JoAnn rocked it, saved me and my hair, and I received compliments on my hair the entire night at my event!
Since then I have been a loyal Reed Manning customer. I have been fortunate enough to be styled by JoAnn and Kassie and they have never ever done me wrong. Not only are these stylists awesome to talk to while I’m in the chair, they’re extremely knowledgeable (and masters) in their craft and the Aveda products, listen to what I want, make great suggestions, and make sure I leave the salon happy and beautiful. I also appreciate that the staff highlights each others strengths. For example, when I eventually became brave enough to get highlights again after my catastrophe, it was recommended that I go to Kassie because she does amazing natural looking highlights, and let me just say it was completely accurate. She knocked it out of the park, and I LOVED them.
JoAnn and Kassie are the only two people in the world who I will let near my hair now because they have only given me incredible experiences with cut, color, styling, and everything in between!
The receptionists are great, and booking appointments is never a hassle. My appointments are always able to be booked in reasonable amount of time. I love the Aveda products, and during my last appointment the receptionist was a really big help when I was choosing some new Aveda products to purchase.
All in all, I absolutely love this salon. I 100% recommend Aveda at Reed Manning to anyone looking for great hair and a great salon experience, and though I’m confident that every stylist in the salon is exceptional, you cannot go wrong with JoAnn or Kassie!

I absolutely love this salon! Every time I go, they do an amazing job with both my highlights and cut! Everyone is friendly and ready to help in any way. So thankful I found this salon!

I love this salon not only because of the Aveda products (which doesn’t include bleach with the blonde highlights), but also because of the stylist that I go to — Kassie. She’s awesome. Great haircut, great color, and she tells me no when she doesn’t think something is going to look good. She’s all around great! I highly recommend going here… and recommending Kassie! :-)

I don’t understand why this place does not have more recent reviews. I went in for the first time today and saw Kassie for highlights and a haircut. She absolutely did a great job! My highlights were exactly the color that I wanted and she cut and styled my hair very nicely as well.
When I called to make an appointment, I spoke to the owner and she matched me up with Kassie. I really appreciated that. I was treated well the entire time and my appointment was pleasant. I will definitely go back to this salon!

If you need a Brazilian Wax, ASHLEY at Reed Manning, is your girl! Saw her for the first time today, super sweet and friendly, and I was out in 20 something minutes. Not a stray hair in sight! She also has this «liquid gold» that she applies during waxing and I could barely feel a thing!
Been getting these waxes done for 10 years and this was by far the best experience!
This review is for the Red Mill Commons location!

I have been searching Hampton roads for years for a good colorist… Well after my consult with a stylist who «claimed» to be just that and $ 200 later, I’m still looking!!!
My dark hair was foiled and resulted in an awful red-​violent, not the rich chestnut I asked for! I’m so frustrated!
To top it off when I went back for correction, I was told I would be charged for the product? WTF… I’ve never heard of this!
I’ll never be back! So if anyone knows a great colorist please help!!!

Worst massage. The end.

Got me in quick. Great consultation with fantastic, thorough haircut. Some places skimp on guys’ cuts – not here! Lower price than my normal salon too.

Please don’t waste your time like I did. I just moved to the area from NYC. I’ve had plenty of salon experience (good, bad and ugly) and this was one of the worst. I called prior to making appointment to make sure there would be a stylist who could provide the type of services I usually get. After being put on hold for 10 minutes, I was assured there was an experienced stylist but they would need to book a separate consultation before booking the actually service. During the «consultation» I was passed around to different self-​proclaimed «master stylists» who had no idea what I was asking for nor what to do with my thick, curly hair. A master stylist should be able to handle any type of hair that comes through their salon, and be familiar with a multitude of treatments for different types of hair.
I should also mention most of the stylists there were sporting over-​processed, dry, and/​or unkempt hair. Also, the place was empty. That in itself should be a red flag.
