Classic Look

Go see Jenny! She is a sweetheart and knows about hair. She’s very patient, polite, and great conversationalist!

Jenny is the greatest! After moving here 7 months ago from NY, I was having a hard time finding someone to cut my short curly hair even slightly decently. Jenny saw me on a Sunday morning. She took 10 minutes just looking at my hair and asking me about it and the troubles I was having with it. She took her time and patiently cut my hair and tried to fix all the mistakes the prior people had made. The cut looked wonderful. Then she had me come back in 2 weeks for a touch-​up, where she basically gave me another whole cut at no charge. And also gave me some free product to try out. Would highly recommend this place.

Jenny is the best! She is patient, understanding, talented, and she really cares about her clients. When I came in, we discussed hair color options and she gave me her professional opinion. My hair color turned out fantastic and Jenny even gave me a few layers for style! I really enjoyed my experience at Classic Look and will definitely be back.

Bottom line up front: have Jenny do your hair and you’ll be very happy.
Jenny absolutely rocks! Jenny did my hair for me for five years before I moved out of the area. Seven years later we’ve finally come back and I was so excited that Jenny could do my hair again. She does an outstanding job on my color and cut. A little gray always popped out when other people did my hair, but not with Jenny. The color still looked great until my next appt., minus the new growth of course (bad on me, 2+ months later). As an added bonus, it only takes Jenny about an hour to do my color and cut vs. the 2+ hours it takes most other stylists (I have a lot of hair that’s about bottom of the shoulder blade in length).

Okay, I came into this shop based just on the proximity to my house and the rave reviews here on Unilocal but I will be a loyal customer from here on out. Jenny is the best! She has a passion for understanding different kinds of hair and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the highlights and haircut that she gave me. Her prices are reasonable especially considering the incredible skill and attention to detail Jenny shows in her work. I highly recommend this salon!

Went to Classic Look for the first time today. Got my hair cut by Jenny because of all the great Unilocal reviews she had. Jenny was great! She took the time to «get to know my hair» and really listened when I told her what I wanted. I LOVE my new cut! Plus she showed me a couple of new styling tricks that I’ve never seen before. I’ll be back.

Generally awesome for tinting & threading of brows/​lashes. What they lack in spa ambiance they well make up for in affordability.

I went to Classic Look today for my eyebrow wax. My eye brows are a little tricky to do (due to bad technicians over the last few years) and Jenny did a great job. She took the time to show me different styles and explained to me in detail how they would look on my particular face shape. Her customer service was amazing and I really appreciate her fitting me in today.
The only reason why I gave 4 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5 stars is because she did not clean off the wax after she finished my eyebrows and my skin was left sticky.
Other than that, I had a great experience. However, I think i’ll continue looking for a new eyebrow technician.

I had my hair done by Jenny today for the first time. She did such a wonderful job and gave me some pointers on how to style it. When she was done I mentioned that my eyebrows needed help and so she fit me in for a waxing and they look 100% better. She is wonderful! highly recommend.

Jenny and Lucy are absolutely AMAZING! My eyebrows were completely wrecked at first but they worked a MIRACLE on them and I am over thrilled with the results. I got my eyebrows threaded here and I can promise I will be going back. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

My first haircut with Jenny was amazing, so eight months later (when I was way overdue) I went back. Haircut number two with Jenny was serviceable, but not amazing. I’ll go back for number three in another few months and see if the difference wasn’t that she got to take off quite a bit the first time around and the last one was just a trim… I’m hoping for amazing again.

This salon/​spa is top-​notch. They will move mountains to accommodate the customer and their prices won’t break the bank. I love, love Lucy & Jenny and highly recommend a visit for haircuts, color massage, nails, eyebrows. you name it! This is a one stop shop that I will continue to frequent until I move from the area.

I’ve been here several times for a haircut. They always do a good job. Highly recommended.

Lucy has tinted and threaded my eyebrows for the better part of a year now. I have stubborn gray eyebrows hairs that had refused to be colored until I went to Classic Look. Not only does their tint actually cover the gray, but the gray stays covered for weeks at a time! Yes, the threading does sting, but the shaping is well worth the sting. I feel more feminine and attractive every time I leave Classic Look, and that is a wise way to spend my dollars.

Update! I made an appointment for a wax but then was suddenly instead given threading instead. Never tried threading before, so went ahead. It was much better than the waxing. I’ll be sticking with threading for now on.

Love Ms. Jenny! My daughter and I came in on a busy Saturday to get a trim, and Ms Jenny was very kind and took us both in between clients. I would definitely make an appointment on Saturdays since they are so busy, but a quality trim at a fair price and Ms Jenny is very kind and professional. Thank you for everything. We will surely visit again!

Well, let me start by saying OMG Jenny, you are awesome, sweet and a genius and Lucy you are the sweetest!!! Like I believe a lot of women with long, nice hair, I’ve been debating where to get a haircut because I’m extremely picky about my hair and not everyone touches it. I’ve been here in Alexandria for 5 years and and since I moved here, I couldn’t let go of my stylist in Orlando, FL (I used to go there every year to get it cut), who is the only person I trusted my hair until today…
I’m Puertorrican, I have curly hair so I relax it, it was down to my waist and I wanted to have a blunt, simple cut to even it out and most importantly, to get the cut dry to make sure I got it the length I wanted it. I did my research for a month because it was time for my haircut and I couldn’t go to Orlando this time so I needed someone I could trust. Every single hair salon from Alexandria all the way to Tysons Corner and Reston, had awful reviews. The ONLY and whoever reads this, read well– the ONLY salon that didn’t have bad reviews was Classic Look.
The moment Jenny saw me it was like, I think, an epiphany to her. I started explaining to her what I was looking for and told her about my fears but the moment she started talking to me, it was like she was reading my mind before I said anything to her!!! It was so surreal!!! She understood so perfectly what I wanted and she was like getting the words out of my mouth. Let me say, I was so nervous about not being able to go to my previous stylist that I had a really bad headache the moment I walked thru the door, but, by the time Jenny started talking to me, the headache slowly started to fade away. Believe it or not, that how it was.
I sat on the chair and Jenny kept talking to me, reassuring me that it was going to be ok and I knew because all I wanted to tell her about my hair, she got ahead and confirmed it. It was such a relief. My hair was very long so at some point I had to stand up so she could even it out perfectly since I had the front shorter and the back longer. All the time she kept me comfortable and telling me not to fear of anything.
By the time she was done, my headache was gone and she did exactly what I was expecting and better. She is very professional, she knows hair, she won’t go crazy with the scissors on you, she knows what she’s doing and most importantly, SHE LISTENS.
I couldn’t stop thanking her for being able to get done what apparently, most hairstylists in the northern VA area can’t accomplish… Have a client to trust her and have a happy result.
To all the women that are looking for a trim or a haircut and are stressed, nervous, afraid, horrified, terrified, not being able to trust and let go, that you will get your hair exactly the way you want it, please, go to Jenny with your eyes closed. The moment you sit on her chair and open your eyes, it will feel like you have been cutting your hair with her all your life. As for myself, I won’t have to go to Orlando anymore. Thank you Jenny from the bottom of my heart and for being so trustworthy!!! Will be back for my trims!!!

Always a little something extra. I’ve been going to Classic Look for 25 years and Jenny is always able to offer a surprise. Hot stone treatment during massage, a slight new twist to a tried and true cut, mini manicure while my hair is tinting, a tip for doing my own facial between visits, seasonal adjustment to my air color… I could go on and on. She is just a good friend who make you look and feel good. One time, a stranger in line behind me at Panera Bread commented on how good my cut was in the back. Who looks at the back! Jenny does and other people do. Thank Jenny! See you again soon.

I got a hair cut by a lady named Homa Farhad and I’m very pleased with the hair cut that I got and her professionalism.

So, I’m a guy. Decided that the usual Hair Cuttery haircuts just weren’t cutting it for me. I’m in my mid 20s, I’ve got a full-​time job… I should take myself for a big boy haircut. I went searching for a salon near my house and it doesn’t get much closer than just across the street. Small space since it’s pretty much in an office complex.
I called Friday afternoon and set up an appointment for Saturday morning, which surprised me considering I thought it’d be near impossible to get an appointment for Saturday. Homa (I think was her name?) was wonderful. I showed her a picture of what I was kind of looking for and she talked me through it.
Really pleasant experience all around. Will definitely be scheduling another appointment in 5 – 6 weeks.
PS — How freaking awesome is it that they each have iPads with credit card swiper attachments. It’s the little things.
