Sassoon Salon

"My 5 stars is only about the stylists, not colorists. I have been getting my hair cut at this salon for almost 10 years. My current stylist is Alexis Kim and she is wonderful. It really comes down to the details. Most stylists can generally do a good haircut, but Alexis points out where a slight change could make a big difference. She has suggested areas to grow out and areas not to layer towards the front where hair is thinner. And she always listens to my concerns and what I like and don’t like. And she’s just a lovely person in general. I used to do color here, too, but stopped for some of the reasons other reviewers mentioned. The last time I did a color there it was a touch up of the roots that had grown out about 1 inch. Instead of black like the rest of my hair it came out a dark brown, then within a couple weeks faded to like a medium reddish brown. They couldn’t get me in right away for a fix so by the time I got back in, I had mostly black hair, a medium red-brown stripe, then roots even lighter. The 3 distinct stripes made me look ridiculous and it was embarrassing. What was worse, when I got back to the salon, they still gave me a hard time and had a manager get involved. They eventually redid it, but it still wasn’t fully black. And it was pretty absurd how they gave me a hard time about it as if I had done something wrong. I never went back for color. I’ve had problems with the shampooers, too, who sometimes get your clothes soaking wet and get your makeup running down your face but that seems to have been fixed and I’ve had only wonderful shampooers in the last 2 years."

"I have been going to Sassoon salon for over 10 years now! Love Yoshiko for hair and jade for color. My hair is very healthy and shiny compared to some of my friends who go to other salons! They are very efficient and extremely pleasant"

"Had my bleach & tone done. Nathan deed an absolutely amazing job. Platinum blonde is very hard to achieve and to maintain but he made it possible. There was no line of demarcation or breakage at all! Thank you so much for your talent!"

"I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Sean McCracken. Not only is he a rare talent, he is kind, easy to communicate with, extremely professional and thoughtful. Sean took my long, tired, boring hair and cut off about 8 inches. Now I have a beautiful, stylish, classic bob, cut and styled perfectly. He intuitively knew what I wanted. I am extremely particular with how I like my bob cut. He executed it perfectly. I live in Florida, and would fly up to McLean to see him again. Highly highly recommend!"

"This salon is professional from the moment i walk in and speak to the receptionist to the consult with my hairdresser and then with the assistant who shampoos and treats my hair. I absolutely love my hairdresser olive and highly recommend her for anyone who wants to look great. Every time they leave the salon! She's so technically on point and artistic! She's also very nice and I love spending time at the salon with her!"
