LOVE this place! Went to get my gray covered and my daughters DIY bleach job toned. My very picky daughter wasn't happy the first time, so our stylist, Erik, re-colored not once, not twice, but THREE times to make her happy. This was super important to me as my wedding was 3 days later and I wanted everyone to feel beautiful. Erik made sure we were happy while laughing and smiling the entire time, he never made us feel like we were being too picky (even though we probably were). Bottom line is no more DIY color for us, Erik will be the only person touching our hair from now on.

I hardly write reviews but felt compelled to as Kim was very professional and patient dealing with me even though I was running late. She was knowledgable when answering specific questions and explained everything in-depth to establish clear expectations to help me feel comfortable. I definitely trust her process and I can tell she is very good at what she does as I can sense her work is top notch! I have a hard time when determining who to go to but I am excited to have her as my hair stylist moving forward!

I scheduled an appointment as a new client already 2 months ago.
Finally, the day came and when I arrived at the store, I was advised that the hairstylist I scheduled my appointment with would no longer take new clients. The font desk is totally incompetent! During my waiting time in the salon I overheard a phone call from an unhappy client and people needed to wait in line forever only to pay for a shampoo. Cannot recommend this salon at all!

I left in tears. My hair looks so bad. I sent an email the following morning (partially hoping it looked less dreadful in natural light) and no one reached out or followed up. I have two gray patches from where the bleach turned my hair gray and it looks like Im aging if I pull my hair up. In other spots, the color is brassy. I don't want to publicly shame the stylist because I think she partially to blame as she was rushed to do balayage in only 2 hours. Oh, and I left crying AND with wet hair. I left a generous tip because I thought I would be back to get it fixed. I expected better service and

I had been here once before and I really liked my haircut. But, my past experience has been horrible. I asked the stylist to cut my hair shoulder-length, but she ended up cutting it as a bob, cutting it nearly 3 inches shorter then what I asked for. Moreover, I asked her specifically to make sure all my hair can fit inside a ponytail. Not only can I not do that because a quarter of hair is so short that I can't put it up, I now have to spend the next couple of months pinning up the hair that doesn't fit (which takes a very long time because the hair is also uneven so it is difficult to pin everything

I booked a last minute appointment in June for a blowout. I called in the morning of and asked if they had any openings for this service. At that time, I thought I was lucky and was able to book an appointment later that afternoon.

I came in with my hair freshly washed and still wet as I was staying only five minutes away. This was to help me out with my time because I had a makeup appointment right after. During the blowout, the stylist asked if I wanted some waves/curls in, sure why not? But they didn't stay in. When she was done with the "blowout" there were no waves or curls

Found my new salon! I was extremely overdue for a hair cut and balayage and Claire was very accommodating and and had so much patience with my extremely long and unmanageable hair. She matched exactly what color and look I was going for and offered to do a hair treatment for me which completely saved my dry ends, a week later and I still see results with the texture. Claire was extremely sweet and great at listening to what I wanted, my hair took hours to do so the complimentary fresh fruit, cookies, and drinks kept me going! I feel much better about my hair, great stylists and great salon.

Bertha did my blow out and curl, she went above and beyond! I went here to get my hair done for a wedding and was so pleased with how nice everyone was, and the outcome of my hair. She did a phenomenal job and was able to do just what I requested. Highly recommend a blow dry by her!

I got my hair done by Michael and he is absolutely great doing blondes and other colors. I told him what I wanted and he did exactly how I wanted it to look like. It took me a long time trying to find someone who would do a good job with blonde colors and I finally found someone! Totally recommend michael for hair!

I love this place! Everyone there is so talented! What I love about this chain is 1) how reasonably they are priced 160 for hair cut AND partial balayage! 2) the individuals who work they take classes to learn new techniques and keep up to date with the best methods! - constantly learning 3) they are just so nice and want your hair to turn out the way you want

I see Mursal and she's amazing! Fun to talk to and knowledgeable.

I'm so glad I changed barbers! I never felt my hair was quite right until Richard Riffe at PR started styling my hair. I went from constantly changing products and shampoos to try and tame my hair, to just towel drying and walking out the door. I had no idea the cut was what made all the difference. It's been years now and my only regret is that I hadn't changed sooner! @RichardDoesHair @PRatPartnersMcLean #RichardDoesHair #PRatPartnersMclean

I was shocked to see that my 17 year old daughter who went in for a simple haircut and was charged $80.00. I called and was told that the stylist determines the amount to be charged and the website stated that the amount was between $40-$85 for a haircut. I am extremely disappointed and find this highly unethical. Taking advantage of a 17 year old, terrible. Will not be returning and the person I spoke with didn't offer any kind of resolution. Basically stole from my daughter by overcharging for a simple hair cut, 3 inches from the bottom, no layers. Stephanie, the stylist, should be

I'm never going anywhere else. Richard Riffe has been doing cut / color on my hair for over a year now and as someone who is extremely picky, I can honestly say he's the best stylist I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. My best friend recommended him to me and I was apprehensive after a series of bad cuts at a different salon, but I walked out SO IMPRESSED. I've since recommended him to a few friends who now say the same thing. I'm writing this review because I went to see Richard last night as my husband decided to chop his man bun off and I insisted that if he's going for it, Richard is the

DO NOT BOOK APPOINTMENT AT THIS SALON !Simply the worse experience I ever had with booking an appointment for my hair! I booked my appointment about one week to 10 days ago with John at PR at Partners in Oakton. I clearly mentioned as the receptionist questioned me what was my appointment will be for , that I needed a color ( balyage) and roots touch up! Arrived 30 minutes earlier than my appointment time and said my name and my appt , Rebecca in the front desk said the front desk who booked me only allowed 30 min w my stylist ! I had no idea why they would only allow 30 min , since i clearly mentioned

My experience with this salon was extremely disappointing. My hairdresser had appointments too closely booked, so despite spending $255 here today I am leaving with wet, curly hair. I have no idea what my haircut will look like, no idea what my highlights look like. There was really no effort to be accommodating, and for someone who doesn't throw around that kind of money this really was a true disappointment :(

I got an itch to cut my hair because I should be having my baby any day now and I came in to PR. They were awesome and took me right in considering they looked very busy and I was a walk in. My hair designer was Demian and I am so happy he was able to squeeze me in because I love my cut! I came in with an overgrown angled bob that had left over ombre in it and I walked out with a beautiful weightless cut that will be easy to manage once my baby is born. Demian was also very sweet and gave me awesome advice on becoming a parent! Thank you so much for being so awesome! I walked out feeling very

PR at Partners are really good, and they really appreciate their reputation. But... some of their stuff is awful. I went to Demian (he told me he had 20 years experience), and I explained him that I wanted to grow my hair out, and I just wanted to add some layers. Instead of doing that he just cut my hair to shoulders line. Fortunately, it looks good, and I'm glad with my haircut. He also colored my hair. I wanted balayage (blonde with some ash). He made my hair completely orange! And then tried to change it (the next day) using ash toner. Is that a professional way? I would say "No

I wish I could give them ZERO Stars. They clearly are above there customers and must not need any of our business. Three times they have failed my two daughters. The first two were when we sat in the salon and the stylist no-showed for my daughter when she had events that evening. I even booked both appointments in person not over the phone. There was no one trying to help trouble shoot the situation. They said "we'll have to reschedule you," both times. The first time it was my daughters swim and dive banquet and a Sunday morning. We had no where else to go. She has really

I have been coming here for about a year now ever since my barber has not been able to handle my hair since it got longer. Hero gives the freshest cuts. Everyone from the front of house staff to the hair washers to the owner are all very polite and attentive. I got recommended to go here by a couple friends who use Hero and I will continue to go to hi as long as I live in the area. Great with fades and basically any type of cut!

Once I moved to Vienna, I needed to find a new stylist. I had never even heard of PR at Partners until I started researching on the internet, but once I realized they had a location just down the road from me in Oakton and had good reviews (thanks Yelp!) I was determined to try it out.

Finding a new stylist can be tough, and I like that they have stylist profiles on their website so you can see who might be right for you. I picked a few that I was interested in from the descriptions and called the salon to talk it through. After mentioning who I'd seen, the person on the phone asked me a

At first, I felt a little guilty for cheating on my stylist at the PR at Partners in Tyson's, (he was booked for the week and being the impatient person I am, I couldn't wait) but after I finished my haircut with Hero, I don't regret it one bit! (plus they're both friends and Hero explained that most stylists don't get hard feelings if you go to another stylist!) I'm thankful that my friend referred me to him!

This past April, I decided to go with the ombre hair trend and opted for red. Unfortunately, red fades easily and after 3 weeks, I had to go tone the color
