Jon David Salon

Both the front desk and the lady cut my hair were very nice. I made a 6:30PM appointment on a not so busy weekday. I waited for 20 minutes then got shampoo. For the hair cut itself, it didn’t turn out so well. I have the regular type of Asian hair, thicker and stronger texture. My new hair style turned out to be at a very strange length and hard to maintain. I would not recommend this place if you have similar texture as I do. It’s $ 60 for the haircut. So it’s not as pricy as those salons at Georgetown but not exactly cheap. It is kinda hard to find a good salon in DC. I guess for now, I will stick with those pricey Japanese salon for haircut at Georgetown until I find an alternative.

I love Rania. I have been going to her for YEARS, essentially since Jon David opened in Arlington. My hair and I have a love/​hate relationship and I’m wary of new stylists/​salons. I was recommended by a coworker, and loved her so much that I have continued the trend. Anytime anyone asks where I get my hair done, I tell them go to Rania at Jon David and tell her I sent you. Everyone has loved her and thanked me for sending them to her. One day I sent someone who had just had her hair butchered by fancy chain, to the point she was crying. She told me what happened and I told her to head to Jon David and meet with Rania. As soon as her appointment was over, she came back to me and said THANK YOU and had a huge smile on her face. Rania had reshaped the mess her poor hair was left in, and made her feel beautiful again.

Although my appointment was not originally scheduled with Julia, I am more than pleased with my haircut! She was extremely thorough, considerate and offered suggestions without being overly opinionated. I was simply there for a trim but wanted her opinion on shaping my otherwise long heavy hair. Admittedly, I am 8months pregnant and was caught between chopping a lot of hair and keeping it long. Without sharing her personal experience as a new mom herself, she let me talk through my ideas before opening up herself. Her technique was: cut hair while wet, followed by blow-​dry, and then shaping while dry. She even took the time to show me how to style it without charging me extra. The staff are extremely professional, HONEST and accommodating. I have now found a trusted stylist in the area who I will without a doubt return to — highly recommend!

I went in today (NYE) for a blow out. I am new to the area and my boyfriend booked the appointment for me as a little «pick me up» after the craziness of the holidays. I was a bit worried at first that this salon was going to be too uptight and snobbish (given this area) but my experience could not have been further from that. From the friendly greeting from reception to a great blow out from Laith, I feel like a million bucks. Laith was so friendly and did such a nice job that I booked a regular hair appointment with him for January before I left.

Please go see Sasha! She does the best cut and color. Jon David is trendy and relaxing inside, and never seems to take too long. I love my new haircut, and they do men’s haircuts incredibly well too. Finally found my favorite Arlington spot!

Great salon! I’ve been going to Carmen for about 3 years and she has always done a fantastic job with my hair. You do need to make a reservation about 2 weeks ahead of time as they book up early, but Jon David salon has always been a positive experience for me. As soon as you check in, whoever is at the front desk offers water, tea or coffee, and the staff is very friendly.
Definitely recommend :)

Zaid is amazing! Moved here 4 months ago from L.A. and did a lot of research to find the best person to do my blonde highlights and be able to cut hair. Zaid is the guy! I’ve been here twice now and absolutely love my hair! And amazingly, I’m in and out in less than 1 ½ hours which has happened since I was a kid. Today, I showed Zaid a picture and asked him if my hair could look like it. He cut and styled my hair exactly like the picture. I was so happy when I walked out of the salon! This place is very clean and all the employees are very professional and polite. So glad I found this salon!

It was a very busy Sunday, and I did not have an appointment. However, the amazing receptionist found a way to squeeze an appointment with Sasha in the next 15 minutes. She offered a drink as well.
Sasha is very professional. First she made me sit on a chair, and analyzed my hair/​face and asked questions about the style I am looking for, she gave her advice, and she explained in detail what she was going to do.
Then another person shampooed my hair and gave a pleasant skull massage.
The haircut was very successful, exactly what I wanted.
I also really appreciated that she taught me how to blow dry my new bangs, she showed me how to dissimulate them with bobby pins, and explained to me the role of each product she put on my hair.
Bang trims are for free too!
Overall, I was very impressed by this beauty salon and its personnel.
Definitely coming back.

So I was referred here by my boyfriends coworker, good thing I have her or I’d be lost! Love this place! It’s very easy to talk to everyone, and no ones super pushy to try to get you to try things you really don’t want or need. My appointment was early on a weekday, so I was able to park on the street, but plan ahead to park in a garage if you’re going during a busy time!

Struggling to find a blond hair stylist? Check out Sasha, she is amazing for highlights as well as a haircut.
My hair was extremely damaged and looked absolutely fake and unhealthy, it consisted at least of 4 colors: black on top than the orange line, than yellow and bleached damaged ends, so I lost a hope that blonde hair can look nice and healthy. But after visiting Sasha I finally have a feeling that my hair looks great. Sasha has done highlights and lowlights for my hair and put a toner on top which is close to my natural color and just a bit darker from the overall color, so whenever my hair starts to grow from the top there is no visible difference between my natural color and blonde. That was a very smart decision as my hair grows really fast and like in 2 weeks after visiting salon black routes at the top of my hair just look ugly, which I really hated. But this time for more than a month it looks like I’ve just colored my hair. So Sasha has done a great job on my hair, I’m absolutely happy with my new color and haircut, she pays attention into every detail, she will spend as much time as needed to get u the look that u came for. No doubt, will recommend to everybody and will be coming back on a monthly basis. And beside being a professional just a very pleasant person, so I give my 5 stars for Sasha at Jon David salon!

Since I was little, my hair has always been low maintenance. It worked no matter what you did to it.
Not so easy as I got older. Groupon and Livingsocial for hair stylists were just not going to work. After a number of butch sessions, I was off to Unilocal it was to find me a good salon and stylist and ran across Jon David Salon.
The last session I had before coming to this salon was a nightmare. Chunks of blonde hair in random areas against my dark brown locks made me feel like I was 5 again and cut my own hair. And then Carmen came into my life.
Carmen is amazing! Although very heavy on the wallet…
$ 225 later
4 hours down the drain
And a lot of effort and geniusness from Carmen, the blonde locks turned into a beautiful bouquet of toned down blended highlights of perfection.
The next few sessions were a little more pocket friendly. Full color and cut for $ 150. Sign up for their text messages and receive great deals. You’ll thank me later and love me even more when you see your head of hair.
I’m a believer.

This place is clean, convenient, and excellent service. I loved how it had the feeling of a fancy salon, but with affordable prices. Bishara did my blonde highlights and he was wonderful. I’ve struggled for three years to find a place to get my highlights done that end up looking natural and beautiful. FINALLY I achieved this with Bishara. Can’t wait for my next session.

I have not had a haircut in over a year due to a fear of salons. I love long hair, but usually what happens is that the stylist cuts my hair way to short and doesn’t blend well. I procrastinated a cut as long as possible but decided recently to give it a shot and try a new salon. I read the reviews on Unilocal about John Davids and scheduled an appointment with my twin sister. Bishara, an expert stylist with 13 years under his belt, cut and styled my hair. The same night as the appointment I had a hot date and the following morning I had my highschool graduation. My haircut stood against the time and elements and made me look so glamorous for both events! Two days later I washed my hair and the haircut flattered my natural waves. This is beyond anything I could have expected! Bishara from John Davids salon has completely changed my perspective on the haircut experience. I will recommend this Salon to everyone and will absolutely be coming back!
P.S the customer service is also impeccable!!!

I recently tried out Jon David after deciding that my usual Georgetown spot was too pricey and too hard to reach. I went in for a color and cut, and I have to say I was underwhelmed. I was satisfied with my cut, which admittedly was easy enough — just a two-​inch trim on longish hair. However, I cannot say the same about my color, which is probably one of the worst I’ve gotten in recent years.
The blonde came out streaky and so brassy that I was embarrassed to wear my hair down at work for the first few days. Even more, my hair felt drier than it ever has after coloring. It took a number of purple-​shampoo washings to finally tone down the yellow. My roots looked equally unnatural, with the blonde color ending in sharp line about ¼ inch away from my scalp. After a couple of couple of weeks, my roots were showing dramatically, and it looked like my hair hadn’t been colored in over a month. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend for blonde color; but, if you are looking for a low-​maintenance cut in the Rosslyn area at a decent price, then Jon David may work for you.

I walked into Jon David Salon during my Friday afternoon walk. I was thinking about how I needed a cut that morning, and figured I’d try my luck with a walk-​in appointment at what looked to be a pretty high end salon.
The staff there was really nice and accommodating and paired me up with junior stylist Laura. She was really great, made me feel comfortable, and knew exactly what she needed to do with my hair. Our conversation was great, and for one of the first times ever, my hair looked great the next day! I didn’t even need a settling in period. I have incredibly thick hair, and my haircut ended up being around $ 50. Not bad at all! It’s more expensive for the experts, but for a basic cut, I’d trust any of the junior stylists.
The salon itself was clean and well organized. You can tell they have loyal customers, which is always a good sign.

Aracely is amazing!
I have been coming to Jon David Salon since 2011. I first went to their Springfield location and moved to the Arlington Location in 2013. I have been extremely happy with every aspect of Jon David Salon. The staff is very polite, asking to take my coat, offering a drink, and going the extra mile to ensure a great experience. The atmosphere is very modern and chic.
Aracely has been my stylist since my first trip to Jon David in Arlington. She is excellent for men’s haircuts. She always asks what I would like and if there are any changes since my previous visit. I have had several hair styles and each cut has been flawless. I have received a number of compliments on my haircuts and it is all because of her! She is really friendly, and always makes for an enjoyable experience. She makes getting my haircut one of my favorite things to do!
I recommend Aracely, and Jon David Salon, to anyone! Keep up the great work!

Anyone struggling to find a good Blonde stylist in the DC Metro area– Go to Bishara!!!
I’m new to the DC area and have had a very hard time finding someone who could do blondes! After numerous failed attempts at finding a good stylist and having to fly home to Michigan a few times just to get my hair done — I’ve finally found someone!
I brought in a few pictures to help him get a good idea of what I wanted and he was spot on!
Another great thing about going to Bishara– you don’t have to pay $ 300 for a decent highlight job! For highlight, toner, cut, and blow dry it came out to be $ 170 which is very reasonable for this area!

The worst haircut I have ever had. The worst color I have ever had.
I asked for highlights and lowlights. I was told it was «too soon» for lowlights (what does that mean?) and was, instead, given partial highlights on the top of my head. The result? The crown of my head (only) is white blond and rest is significantly lighter. It doesn’t make sense and it looks terrible. I saw the stylist service two other customers during the short time I was there for my appointment. Now I know why my request for highlights and lowlights couldn’t be honored; he didn’t have time. I would have appreciated being told that so I could go elsewhere instead of him ruining my hair.
The cut is, somehow, even worse. I asked for the smallest trim possible (my hair was past my collar bones) and told the stylist to «keep the length.» He cut of at least 5 inches and did a bad job at that. Some places on my head are 3 inches long… others are 6 inches long. The haircut is a cross between a mullet and bowl cut. I am taking supplements to make this disaster grow out as soon as possible. All week people have been asking me «what happened to your hair?» I came to this salon, that’s what happened.
Stay as far away as possible from this salon.

It was almost 2 years since my last visit here and the woman who did a great job with my hair isn’t there anymore. I was scheduled with Bishara (hair expert). I got there 10 min early and the receptionist asked if she could take my coat and get me something to drink. She hung up my coat, got distracted by another staff person, and forgot about the drink she offered me. I sat for a few minutes until Bishara greeted me.
I was hesitant about working with a new hair dresser but it seemed like Bishara had some solid reviews. He was friendly and I told him I just wanted a trim and layers. I showed him a picture of how I usually style my hair since I didn’t do anything to it that day. Bishara was pretty aggressive and chopped at my hair without the same precision as other places I’ve been. Before he started drying, the receptionist came over and motioned that his next appt was waiting. It was a bit rude and I felt like he was trying to get me out of the chair after that. I reminded him I had a slight side part and he said, «Okay, I know.» I was nervous because I know my hair and the way he was drying it would make all my baby hairs stick straight up. Sure enough, that’s what happened and I asked if he had any product to keep the hairs down. He applied some hairspray and said it would flatten out in 30 min.
Overall, the cut was good. I wish Bishara and the receptionist gave a little more attention during the appointment, especially to ease the nerves of new clients. $ 64 for a wash/​cut/​dry wasn’t bad.

What can I say? I love Jon David Salon.
I’ve gotten my hair cut by Laith and Debbie and both times I have walked away feeling like a million bucks! Thank you for making me feel beautiful! They deeply care about what you are looking for in your hair cut and they give you their honest opinions on what they think would look/​work best for your type of hair. I’m so happy I found this Salon!
