I have been going here since before Covid hit, but the protocol during this time has been great. Everyone has to wear masks, have their temperatures taken coming in, and there is hand sanitizer. I see Lauren every 7 weeks for a haircut and I continued that consistently this past year. Lauren is an excellent beautician, and she listens. If I ever want some small change in my cut here or there, or have a question, she handles it all knowledgeably. She is also easy to talk to and always embodies a ray of sunshine. I love the location in downtown Arlington and the fact that there is plenty of parking

This salon is the best. I love Lauren, my stylist and coiffeuse! She introduced me to a new hairstyle, new hair products and an experience I’d never had elsewhere.
I learned a man can have a salon experience, just like a woman! The entire visit is something I look forward to. We chat, she clips my hair… we go over to the shampoo bar and we chat some more (while she’s massaging my scalp/neck/hands… then we head back over to the chair to clean it up with a fresh scissor cut.
They offer wine, beer, water or hot tea. The salon is an Aveda salon (duh), so they only offer their product line

This was my first time at this salon I got a color and cut by Bonnie. Bonnie is so sweet and really took the time to listen to what I wanted done. She was a total professional and her experience and knowledge is easily seen in her work. I am a hard to please customer and very picky and I left the salon happy. She did an amazing job! Highly recommend! 🙂

If i could give less than one star I would.
SCAMERS, be aware !!!
a hair stylist goes by Bonnie, charged me $170 for partial hi-lights, no roots touch up and no blow dry included, didn't even as much as comb my hair when she was done and my hair is shoulder length !!!!!!! I was shocked, the whole deal reeked of SCAM !! when I asked what's the $170 for they said it's for the hi-lights and 2 toners !! that's like saying "well I had to cut your hair twice on the same appointment " !!! all that crap for my medium length hair??? adding insult to injury, bonnie is a level

I wanted to get balayage hair for a long time and Taylor sent hair pictures of customers thru IG, then I decided to book with Taylor for balayage.
After we discussed about the color I wanted which was ashy brunette and after I agreed with the picture, Taylor proceeded to start working on my hair. My balayage color didn't turn out ashy at all but blonde and Taylor suggested I come back for touch up for toner after 2 months. I am not satisfied with the result as color was not what I wanted. If I had known that it would need more than 1 treatments, then I didn't have to take risk to drive

I'm only doing two stars because I spoke to the manager and was able to talk things out. Taylor at Maren Karsen did my hair, and I asked for a balayage and to bring it up. Here's my before and after and when it was straight. I was told that "she did bring" my balayage up. She was an affordable price but I was just disappointed.

Amber is absolutely amazing! She is able to understand my inability to do my own hair. She makes recommendations. I love it! I want someone to tell me how I'll look better. My first highlight in years had her turning me into a dishwater blonde into a strawberry blonde! I love it! I've booked for the year!

I, personally, patronized their salon primarily because we'd just recently moved into our new residence, and I'd requested that my daughter search online for a salon that was decent and fairly close to where we currently reside. My appointment vegan with a short consultation with a young stylist who listened intently as to my concerns, and proceeded to wash my hair in the exact manner in which I had requested; being extremely careful with steps in which she styled my hair, explaining to me why the product would be beneficial to my needs! Overall, upon completion of styling my hair, I received an

I requested an appointment and the man in the phone was polite and booked me for the next day with Amber. I was worried about getting my long hair cut after so long. I went into the Salon and it smelled great was my first impression. Clean and neat. Receptionist was very professional. She had me wait a moment for my stylist. I did not wait very long as Amber greeted me and we started bit earlier than my appointment. I definitely wish to compliment the fact that amber dressed and styled her hair impressively! My worry about my own hair being in untrained hands went away. She looked at my hair, asked

I walked in cold, having found the salon here on Yelp. I met Amber and explained my cut and color needs. She totally exceeded my expectations! I have never been happier with a salon experience, ever! She knew exactly what she was doing, from the expert color--highlights, repair previous color problem, etc. -- to the exact cut I wanted. I can't believe my good fortune. When I think of some of my previous bad experiences with salons in other places, this one is a real winner. Thank you, AMBER!!

Kay does my hair and she is amazing! She is incredibly professional and always takes the time to discuss everything we are going to do before she starts. Recently, I have been undergoing IVF treatments which have left me feeling run down, and unattractive. After Kay cut and colored my hair, I left the salon feeling "pretty" for the first time in a long time. The hair cut and color Kay did for me made me feel like myself again, which was a really emotional thing for me after feeling down for so long. Thank you Maren Karsen Salon and especially Kay!

This is the best place for any and every hair service, I wish I could give ten stars. Very clean and just a really nice place to go because you will be well taken care of 100%. Everyone there is so welcoming and friendly. They are incredibly gracious to all of their customers and never pressure you to buy their products. Bonnie is AMAZING. She is caring and attentive, definitely one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. I went to her for a full color/trim and I'm going back tomorrow for a blowout! She knew exactly what I wanted. Thank you Bonnie and Maren Karsen Aveda!!! :)

I have been going to Allie at Maren Karsen Salon for a few years now and I'm always happy with the cut and color she does on me. I love that she has great suggestions on what would compliment me perfectly and I love that she's not afraid to give me her honest opinion when I come to her with some hair brained color or cut idea lol. I've referred several friends to her and they love her just as much as I do! Also, the atmosphere at the salon is always positive, upbeat and happy. They offer great Aveda products at a reasonable price as well. I would highly recommend Allie and Maren

Allie is awesome! I'm always looking for cuts that are a little young and funky and she does a great job giving me cool cuts -- that I can still wear to work. She does a great job on my hubbie's hair, too. She's also just a great person -- I usually hate having to make small talk with stylists, but Allie is really nice and personable; I genuinely enjoy catching up with her. Highly recommend!

Went to this salon for the first time today. Awesome! I got there a few minutes before my 9am appt. One of the owners, Scott, invited me in. He had a fresh pot of coffee brewing that I am very sure was the best I have ever tasted! Very comfortable & relaxed atmosphere. Kay did a great job on my trim & the products are great. She said to come back to have my bangs trimmed at no charge if I need it before my next cut. Who does that? Left feeling great. Sure this will be my regular salon. Been looking for a hairdresser I like for a very long time. Only suggestion I could make is
