I have been a client of Heather and Reflections of You in Fairfax since the day they opened. I have always found the employees to be helpful, courteous and professional. The receptionist is especially patient in helping me find an appointment to fit my crazy schedule. In my opinion their prices are definitely competitive - I took my daugther to get her haircut at another place that was a little closer to home (and I assumed less expensive) and it was actually more expensive and the cut was not that great. I wont do that anymore! Heather knows me, knows my hair, and helps me create a look that works with my personality and lifestyle. I have sent countless numbers of friends (and people who just ask about my great haircut and color) to her and they have all become clients. Your hair is a "reflection of you" and you know a "bad suit" when you see one.. No bad suits here!!

I was long overdue for a haircut and desperate for a qualified stylist who actually understands what I want. I was able to secure an appointment with Heather as she was kind enough to squeeze me in at the end of her day. She was very gracious and surprisingly energetic for someone who had been on her feet all day. She listened carefully to what I wanted and then made a few suggestions based on the condition of my hair. The final result was better than I had hoped for and a wonderful experience all around. Everyone I had contact with was professional and personable. The whole time I was there I had no doubt that my satisfaction was their top priority and sadly these days that isn't common. I don't get my hair cut often enough but the next time I'm ready it will be with Heather. Thanks to all the staff that helped to make my visit so enjoyable.

After I spent quite some time browsing the web and reading reviews about the salons in the area, i decided to try ROY. I had thick heavy long hair for 3 years now, and I was a little afraid to trust someone in doing a good job cutting it to a medium length while giving it a nice shape. I'm the mom of a 10-months-old, and I'm starting nursing school next week, so I wanted something age(27) and school-appropriate, easy to manage, feminine, neat, but a little playful. I walked in to ROY without having an appointment. Lucky me, the place was quiet(Wednesday around noon), and the receptionist assigned me to Sarah. After introducing ourselves, she asked about the ways I usually treat/style my hair, and to try to describe in three words what I'd like my new hair to be. So, I told her the above mentioned attributes and it seemed that she got a grip of what I wanted. After a pretty good hair wash/massage(by Lale who offered to trim my eyebrows, but understood that that was not the purpose of my visit, so she didn't push it), Sarah started to cut my hair. I appreciated it that she took her time and always made sure that i was ok with what she was doing next and that I liked what she did so far. The whole experience from walking in to walking out probably took about 1.5-2 hours, but it definitely worth it, 'cause I got a great hair cut!!!! Also, I must mention that she had a professional attitude and she was gentle with my hair(not like the lady who pulled out half of may hair the last time I got a hair cut ). She did tell me about the products that would benefit my hair, but she was not pushy in any way. While getting ready to leave, I took a peak into the mirror again, and who I'm guessing is the owner or manager of the place, kindly asked me if everything was ok with my haircut. I said yes, i just needed to get used to it a bit (I got bangs- hadn't have them since high school). One more thing, I almost forgot, the price. The whole thing cost me 45 dollars - I say this is a pretty neat price for a wash, cut, dry, and style. I was/am extremely satisfied. I love my new look, and guess what? my husband likes it too. Ok, I hope I said it all....ROY- great place, Sarah-great stylist!!!

My hair is pretty easy to cut, color, and manage, therefore, I was never particular about where I went for my seasonal cut or color. A friend recommended a stylist named Adam at Reflections of You. He did a great job suggesting hair styles that would compliment my face shape. Love him and will continue to go to him.

We've all had at least one horriffic hair experience which traumatizes us for life. We end up frantic and running for a towel to cover our hideous rendition of our hair. I had such an experience a few months ago, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. During a weekend trip to New York, I thought I would get my hair colored. My coloring looked like my three-year old took some crayola markers and unevenly colored on my hair. I was a complete mess.
As soon as I came back, I called my friend whom recently had her hair done [which I loved] at Reflections of You. She ranted and raved about Adam, whom I was initially hesitant to use, since I lost all trust in any unfamiliar stylists. She was so confident that Adam could fix my coloring that she offered to pay if I didn't his work--how could I pass a deal like that up? I AM SO GLAD I LISTENED TO HER! Not only did he fix my coloring, but he is the ONLY person that is able to touch my hair from this point on!

I had my birthday this past weekend and Adam gave me an amazing updo that I will never forget. I felt so glamorous and trendy. He really made me feel beautiful and above all UNIQUE. I had endless compliments all night from strangers and friends. He did an amazing job.
I have been going to Adam for years now. He is incredible with color and has helped me transform my hair from a deep brown to a bright violet red to an auburn honey brown/blonde. I have always been happy with the results and I am usually pretty resistant change. I am usually very "plain Jane" but have a desire to be more adventurous with my look. Adam is aware of this fact and has managed to help me find a middle ground that has helped me stay trendy but not be too extreme where I feel that the hair does not suit me. Besides his amazing skills as a hairdresser Adam is also the sweetest person who really understands his clients.

I have been a client of Adam's for a few years now and traveled with him to Reflections of You. I couldn't be more pleased with both Adam as a stylist and ROY as a salon. Adam is able to keep a classic client like me very happy while keeping me abreast with all the latest trends of the hair world. He always recommends the BEST products and has new tips to share with me every time I see him. I HEART ADAM. Reflections of You is a chic salon...always clean, bright and inviting. The staff there is friendly and accommodating. What more can a girl ask for?

THICK, STRAIGHT AND COARSE are qualities that best define my hair. I have two choices with my hair, keeping it long or short. Being that I am a young professional man that has a clean-cut image, I like to keep my hair short and fresh. I find that most stylists are unable to work with my hair, since the smallest mistake is visible from miles away. Luckily I ran into Adam, who has the expertise to work with my difficult hair. Adam has been keeping a particular customer like myself, happy and satisfied for three-years.

You've got to visit this salon and you'll be sold! A great full service salon where you can relax with a massage or a pedicure and beautify with a facial and a new haircut, color or both! All the comforts of a trendy salon without the pretentious attitudes that tend to go with the fancy salons. The music is always soothing but never the same! They offer you your choice of coffee or wine. I love it!

For about 10 years now I've been a client of Heather's. She began by working to correct the color damage I'd caused using over the counter hair dye products and updated the style to take it into the 21st century. It's typically thick and frizzy with some stubborn waves. Heather was able to create a smooth & unfussy look that works both professionally and personally. Strangers frequently stop and ask who does my hair. One person even took a picture of it! More importantly, going into the salon is a break. The staff is so friendly, it's like visiting with a bunch of friends. Lalee is exceptional; simply the best!. My hair is so clean when she's done with it - you'll never find this quality anywhere else.

I have been going to ROY and Tisa for a few years now and I absolutely LOVE her!! What I really like about her and her technique is that each time I get a hair cut/color, she cuts it a bit differently and the outcome is always funky and cool....rock starish quality and that is what I am going for! Another thing I have to say about Tisa is that she can work with what I am asking of her. I often have grand ideas for my hair...sometimes unrealsitic, but Tisa listens, takes her time, puts her art into it , and always comes up with a solution that fits my personality and my look. She works magic and I think she must be telepathic in this way!! Additionally, she has great color-vision and foresight. Her advice has always been sound and she has been honest and up front with me every time. These are a few reasons why I keep going to her and to the salon.
I have also had a massage at ROY that was fabulous. They offer interesting facials, pedicures and manicures, massages, and services, involving chocolate ( can't go wrong with that). While I would agree that ROY's prices are a little steep, it has been worth it for me. The owners are wonderful people, too. I know that they help many high school students gain experience while working in the salon. I think that is tremendous community spirit! I think ROY keeps contemporary and competetive because the owners are constantly evolving and offering new and different specials and products. They are ahead of the game in their business sensibilities. Additionally, the physical setting of the salon is pleasing; bright, modern, and clean ( they even offer wine as you relax!!) . The massage chairs are heavenly and the shampoo assistant, Laleh, is my favorite human on the planet!! Her head massages while shampooing are incredible!! My head is left tingling and refreshed. I look forward to Laleh and I try to schedule my appointments when I know she is at the salon. No joke! The other stylists and receptionists are always friendly and helpful, too! The place is always bustling and everyone in the salon appears to be where they want to be......at ROY!

I have been with Reflections of you for almost 5 years now. For last couple times, when I got my hair cut done from there, I was very disappointed. I always book my appointments with senior stylist, it turns out that the senior stylist starts your hair cut but someone else completes it which is very unprofessional. I am not paying $66 for hair cut to get the blow dry and style done by a junior person. This happened to me second time now. My hair is completely messed up.If this is the way they treat their loyal customers, I am never going back there

I just got home from my first hair appointment with Rebecca at ROY, and I can not stop looking at my amazing hair!! Before I say anything else, I should say I have a lot of experience with BAD salons in this area, I have cried in my car after cuts and color more times than I'd like to admit. This was not that kind of experience.
From the moment I called to make an appointment I had high hopes. The receptionist, Kaitlyn is fabulous. She was so friendly on the phone and in person I immediately felt at ease. Then I met Rebecca. I am getting married in 7 months, and I was so unhappy with my hair and want it to look beautiful for our wedding. From bad color, terrible split ends and a mediocre cut I left with super model hair.
Rebecca sat down with me and went over everything she was going to do in detail and gave me the price for everything!! I have never had a salon do that before, I would always be surprised with a mystery number not previously discussed. She listened to everything I wanted and my concerns and was very realistic about what we'd be able to do.
Did I mention my color was awful before? It was a faded red (box job) and I wanted to go Reece Witherspoon blonde. What Rebecca did for my color is a miracle!! She revived my sad limp hair, and it is beautiful and far better than I could have expected. She was also very honest with me that if she made me as blonde as I wanted in one process, my hair would be fried. I'm happy she told me, so now we can do it in steps, and keep my hair from additional major damage. But this color doesn't look like an in-between color - it's beautiful!
Not only were Kaitlyn and Rebecca fantastic, the whole staff was friendly and cheerful. I made an appointment to come back in a month to keep my hair looking fantastic for our wedding. Now I am confident my hair will look the best it has in years for our wedding and I am so happy and excited. I've finally found a salon in NOVA that I want to keep going back to!

What a great place. I'm a guy who cares about how he looks but doesn't want to spend a ton of time on his appearance. Rebecca understood my needs and gave me exactly what I wanted. Her gregarious but not overbearing personality makes the experience enjoyable while her knowledge and talent make me look good. You'll pay a little bit more than at discount hair places, but it's definitely worth it. In fact, just after I moved here, I got a terrible haircut - one I thought was irreparable - for $14 right down the road. ROY fixed it and I've been going ever since.

My stylist is Rebecca. She deserves all the credit in the world! She is young, full of life and very personable. She had to take time off for a few short weeks (for an EXTREMELY understandable situation!!) While she was out she suggested I see another stylist (her name escapes my mind, but she did a nice job...) I really appreciated that Rebecca kept my information in the computer up-to-date so that the stylist could take care of me! The front desk called to let me know Rebecca will be returning to work this week and I was able to set up my next appointment. She is such a joy to be around and I am really looking forward to seeing her again! I am impressed by her ability to determine to perfect cut and color for me based on my skine tone and face shape. She takes in to accound that I don't like to spend hours on my hair in the morning. And she even TAUGHT me how to style my hair! I never write reviews, but I am just so thrilled that she is able to get back to work and I can't wait to see her again! Hm... Maybe I should schedule my appointment sooner!

just moved here and tried this salon out. I read the reviews on here and trusted that I would have a wonderful experience. While I enjoyed my glass of wine, polite chit-chat and rose upon my leaving, I feel as though my fee of $100 for partial/full foils was overpriced. The hair dresser did touch-up work to my highlights which had be done 6 weeks prior. she over bleached my hair (an entire foiled area that was turned white broke off!!) and left a strong line on my roots so that when i brush my hair back or put it up i have a noticeable line of where the new highlights were added.
I loved it initially but I did not get a full blow dry as that would cost $30 more dollars.. which is absurd!!
*** After posting this I was contacted and offered a complimentary appointment. But to be honest, why would anyone feel comfortable going back to a salon that messed up so badly in the first place? No refund was offered and it was just a caddy conversation with the receptionist. I would never suggest this place to anyone, especially as a salon calling themselves the "color specialists"
****** another update. After contacting the owner, I recieved a quick response and understanding to my situation. She offered a refund, and her apologies. I think this salon has great management, and atmosphere .. not everyone is perfect, and I guess it was my bad luck to stumble upon the people I did.
To each their own.

I am very happy with my hair- I got a shorter cut done by Sara a few days ago. First impressions are everything: She looked and acted professionally and had a really pretty hair style *that I now want!* She was pleasant and did a wonderful job...the real test was waking up the next day and being able to do it myself. My hair has more volume and body than it has had in a while. I often drive right by this salon, so I am glad I gave them a shot. Will definitely go back for her to do my color and will report here!

I have been going to Reflections of You Salon and Spa for about nine months now, and I love it!!! I moved to the area and I was very hesitant to try a new salon. The staff of ROY Salon made me feel very welcome and the salon is EXTREMELY clean, which is sometimes hard to find. They offer me a drink and some kind of dessert every time I go. I never feel out of place there! The environment is very relaxing and welcoming. Their shampoo chairs are amazing. They recline and massage!!!
I see a variety of stylists there, because I like the different points of views from different stylists. All of the people that have cut and colored my hair have done an amazing job, and for that I am very, very happy!!!
I also know that the stylists go to several styling and trend classes throughout the year, which is awesome. They are on top of the trends!!! Yaya!!! I love Reflections of You Salon and Spa!!!
