Bubbles Woodland Park

06÷03÷16
This is my second visit to BUBBLES. This time I decided on something different for my hair. Layers and layers. I was a little nervous about cutting my long hair to layers. I haven’t changed my hair style over 3 years, so you can imagine. My hairstylist, Nora was fantastic. She assured me my new hairstyle was going to look amazing. And yes it does. I love it. Thank you, Nora for assuring me everything was going to be OK. I love my new look, you did an amazing job. For a wash, cut and blow dry it all equaled to $ 60.00 plus tip.
I have long, black, THICK hair, as you can imagine it takes a lot for me to manage, but since I have had this hair since I was born, I have learned to manage. Anyways, after 5 months of not taking care of my beautiful care I decided it was time. My ends looked like dead weeds and my hair was super dry. Bubbles being literally a few steps from my home I gave them a call early on a Saturday night and made an appointment for 12:00 pm. Finally! Around 11:55 I through on some sweatpants and a T-​Shirt and made my way down to the Salon. As soon as I entered I was welcomed by the receptionist, she asked me if I needed anything to drink. «No, I’m good. Thanks.» She then proceeded to tell me my hair stylist should be there in a few minutes. I looked down at my iPhone’s clock, 12:00. «Alright.» I made my way got the waiting area and waited for my stylist. (I know this might sound crazy but I am a very ‘on point’ type of person. When someone says to be there at 12:00 I am usually there at 12:00 exact. Not a minute later. It drives me insane. (I know, I know))so you can imagine, when it was about 12:10 I was furious. I told myself to calm the f*ck down and just wait a little longer. FINALLY, a nice girl walked up to me, «Ana?» YES, that’s me. I followed her to the chair and told her what I needed done. Simple. I also got a conditioning treatment. My stylists was not very talkative but she was professional. My hair finally looks healthier and feels AMAZING. She definitely dos a good job. For conditioning, hair cut, and blow dry it was $ 55.00. Not bad. I think I found my new salon. Also, if you want to make an appointment, you better drop your sh*t and book RIGHT NOW. The receptionist told me people have been trying to book their appointments since August.

Loved my stylist Becky! She took plenty of time learning about what kind of cut I wanted and issues I wanted to resolve with my hair. She was very friendly, welcoming, and super focused during the cut and style. I left with exactly the haircut I wanted, plus a style with lots of volume, shine and bounce. The receptionist was incredibly accommodating about making a same day appointment for me and was very friendly, but the overall reception once you arrive in the salon needs a little work. It would have been nice to be greeted, told where the waiting area is, and asked if my coat could be hung up. Either way, I’ll be going back to Becky for my haircuts!

The job was simple– I only needed tiny curls done a small wand. I had made this appointment in advance and reminded them when they called to confirm 2 days before, that this was a kid appointment for tiny curls. We arrive on time, and our stylist is 15 min late– meanwhile we’re on a schedule for an event that day– the receptionist was saying the stylist is coming– no apologies from anyone — when the stylist showed up — she walked in all relaxed not in any rush– clueless to timeframes. Also instead of looking for the smallest wand she lazily grabbed the bloody biggest one. I’m being nice and patient — totally disappointed in the way they do stuff here. I asked if she could look around– she’s like we don’t have thin wands– We did but we don’t know where they went. I’m thinking «o, God»
If I could walk out right now I would but still we are on a schedule– finally they found a medium wand after begging me to use a flat iron that I was against– are they kidding? The style is not what I wanted for my daughter but she still is beautiful no matter what. — — the point is they charge an arm and a leg and provide poor customer service and they do NOT have the latest salon tools and applications. We will not return to a place missing supplies. Two stars for finally figuring out how to curl using a curler rather than wide flat iron. PS this place doesn’t have WiFi and during the entire wait employees were in the back gossiping and laughing so loudly it was disruptive. We didn’t need that experience.

Belen is awesome. She really has some magic in her hands. Thank you so much. I would highly recommend her to all. She is so patient and listens to what we want and gives great output !!!

When I moved to the area about three years ago, I would call to see if anyone was available for a «same day» appointment because I wasn’t attached to any one stylist and my schedule was pretty unpredictable. I wasn’t disappointed with any of the stylists, but then the stars aligned and Kayleigh was available when I called one day. She understands exactly what I want and seems to read my mind when I try to describe styles to her. I’m always so happy when I leave the salon. My expectations are constantly exceeded. I’ve tried several different styles, from long layered hair, to balayage highlights, making a drastic cut into a chin length bob on a whim (Kayleigh responded like a pro to this surprise decision), growing out a little to a longer bob, and finally doing a rinse to make my balayage highlights a more caramel color. I have never received so many compliments on my hair! I trust Kayleigh to make me look great and she has never let me down. I brought my friend from out of town in to get balayage on her super long hair and she had a fantastic, positive experience as well. Can’t recommend Kayleigh enough!

The people who work here are really nice and personable, but the services and costs are terrible. I’ve gone 4 times and each time I’ve brought numerous pictures showing exactly what I wanted done. After I’ve shown the pictures to the stylist, I’ve always caveated it with «what’s your professional opinion? Would this look good on me? Is it something you’re able to do?» Each time I’ve been assured they’re able to do it yet every time I’ve walked out looking absolutely nothing like the picture.
The last time was so bad I called back and complained and the store manager had to fix it. Originally I asked for allover blonde hair with an inch or so of darker roots. My stylist bleached the bottom 4 inches of my hair and just the hair on the outside… the hair underneath was still light brown. Then she dyed my roots a really really dark shade of brown leaving 4 inches between the dark roots and the bleached hair. Then the whole time she kept trying to upsell me on products and deep conditioning treatments. She was going on and on about how much product my hair was soaking up and because my hair was «long,» she had to charge me for 2 additional bowls of bleach. Then I needed a toner. Then was I sure I didn’t want a deep conditioning treatment? After 3.5 hours I left with a $ 250 bill and my hair looking NOTHING like the picture.
I called a couple days later I called and the manager offered to fix it. What she did was better but still not what I wanted. I left with «blonde» hair that was more yellow and orange than blonde because she didn’t leave the bleach on long enough and then didn’t use a toner on it. Even while the manager was fixing my hair, she was trying to sell me on a deep conditioning treatment to fix hair that has been dyed. You may think with so much upselling on deep conditioning treatments, it may be because I have fried hair. Which I don’t. My hair is healthy and strong. So after now tipping the manager for her time, I had to go home and order a toner online just to make my hair tolerable. Ridiculous. I’ll never go back.
I firmly believe this Bubbles location is about making money upselling products and services to squeeze as much money as possible out of each customer without regard to what the customer actually is asking to be done.

I’ve gotten my hair cut here twice now. I work full time and this is one of the only salons I could find in the area open after 5 on weekdays.
The first time was a GREAT experience. They charged me $ 50 for a trim, cleaning up my long layers and face framing. My stylist was very friendly and nice and I walked away VERY happy with the results. Based on that cut, I’d give this place five stars.
My second time was average — at best. I had a new stylist this time around (maybe my fault for just making an appointment without asking to see the same stylist from before). I explained what I wanted (which included face framing beginning just below my cheekbones, a cut I’ve been getting for a while). She responded that she would start off by cutting my bangs longer, because she thought they’d look better long. Okay — I wouldn’t mind if she just wanted to keep them longer at first to have more room to trim later, but the fact that she said she was going to cut it based on what SHE liked was a little odd. Anyways, she gave me a trim then asked if I wanted a blowdry (which apparently is another $ 10). I assumed she meant a style and I said no thanks, but it turns out that literally meant drying my hair. She gave it a quick going-​over with a dryer but when I left my hair was still damp enough to drip on my shirt! I also had to ask her to fix my face framing to the length I’d asked for. That said, the cut looks okay now, but the experience wasn’t great and the cut didn’t actually impress me.

I’ve gone to bubbles twice: once for highlights and cut, and was left with 110% satisfaction. I’ve never felt so confident after such a drastic change to my hairstyle thanks to Jackie. She gave me beautiful highlights about a month ago and just cut my hair the shortest it’s ever been! Jackie always puts the customer’s satisfaction first. I definitely recommend her!

I had a bad experience with a haircut at another salon recently. I called the salon and the manager Kristen got on the phone and told me she would take care of me. She was wonderful. She made me feel relaxed and gave me tips on dying my own hair. I will definitely go back and ask for Kristen again!

Ugggghhhh. I just want to say that my experience was awful because I was turned away since there «wasn’t enough time» to do what I wanted.
I am pregnant and I’ve been waiting to do my hair for a long time. I went in really excited about my apt. I called ahead of time to schedule with someone with lots of experience and that was going to make me look awesome. I get there and she looks at my hair for like 5 minutes and then tells me she doesn’t have enough time.
Apparently they take 50 min to lighten dark roots to blonde. I have never in my life had to have color in my hair for that long.
When I schedule an apt I cannot be held accountable for how long to make the apt for. I’m not a hairstylist therefore I don’t know what I need to do or how long it takes. I never thought I would walk out disappointed since they had great reviews but I guess I have very bad luck with hairstylist.

I used to go to Christa for my highlights, but I now go to Katie only because her schedule works better with mine. I highly recommend both of these girls as they do an amazing job! I have naturally dark brown hair and both of them pull bright, blonde highlights for me every time without my hair being damaged when I leave! They both hold great conversations and make sitting in a chair for 2 hours much more enjoyable!

I moved to the area and had to find a new hair salon after having had the same person do my hair for the past 6 years. I am saw Katie and she cut bleached and dyed my hair. I was very happy with the cut and color. Despite having my roots bleached it all feels really good (not dry or brittle). It was also all reasonably priced.

Went in for a wash and blow dry. The price quotes on the website is $ 25, on the phone when I made the appointment was $ 30 and when I actually went in, they said its $ 35. I didn’t mind it but it would be nice to know ahead of time what you are going to pay.
I got a really sweet stylist — overall experience was great (don’t wanna name her). Once she saw my hair, we got talking and I asked her to also trim my hair ever so slightly WITHOUT changing the length of the hair at all (+$ 10). She said she will need at least ½ inch and I said ok but insisted multiple times that I didn’t want the hair shortened anything more than that. The whole experience was nice but my hair now is at least 2 inches short overall and 3 inches short in the front and she did weird layers. Even after the blow dry, she cut the hair again and I could SEE how much she as chopping off. I stopped her and said again that it looks more than a trim but she said it was just to add texture.
I am extremely extremely sad and upset :(. I understand that there is nothing that can be done now but at least I would like my money back.

I’m not one for a glamorous hair cut, or to pay 35 dollars for one either. I have short hair and just needed a LITTLE shaping. I think its a bit over priced, but most women tell me they usually pay that much or more (CRAZY to me). Besides the pricing, the women who cut my hair was very helpful and nice. She gave me a great hair cut that I later at work got a few compliments on.
I’d recommend it to people!

Been going here for awhile now! ²⁄₃ times a year. Shannon is great! I love the balayage highlights and long layered cut from her. I get compliments all the time on my hair (mostly from guys lol). I highly recommend going to this location for balayage ombré.
They’re also very friendly here! We usually chat about celeb hair styles and Guy Tang (the hair God!). They also offer you coffee and tea. Overall, great experience every time and if you don’t like the haircut, they’re willing to fix it for you.

I’m so torn. Do I write a good review because Christa absolutely deserves it or do I keep this secret to myself, so I can still get an appointment?
Christa is amazing. She is the best stylist I’ve ever had. You won’t get a better haircut for $ 45.00. She is sweet and engaging. I usually hate getting my hair cut. I get antsy, but because she’s so friendly the time flys by!
One other thing I love about Bubbles — they understand that some people like to keep their hair long. Most places will give you a hard time if you want to take off as little as possible. It’s as if your wasting the stylist’s time. When I come in and say I don’t want a lot taken off it always ends up looking better, healthy and the same length!

Worst customer service and scheduling!
I scheduled a consult for hair color. Salon called me the day of the appointment because my stylist cancelled. I was unhappy, but rescheduled because this place had good reviews overall on Unilocal.Consultant went well. Scheduled an appointment for color.
I got stuck in traffic and was 8 minutes late for my appointment. Upon arrival, I was informed I needed to reschedule because my stylist had squeezed someone else in. Understand I was late, but I have never experienced this level of inflexibility by an salon or stylist.
You just lost a potential lifetime customer and one of the best tippers.
I will be taking my business and money elsewhere and make sure to not refer your business or stylist.

I needed a change. All my life I had this boring, layered, natural dark brown hair and I was absolutely sick of it. I box dyed my hair about a year ago and it looked the same. I knew I needed some professional help.
I get my hair cuts from Bubbles and I knew I can trust them. I took it a step further by reading reviews for people who got their hair colored. The reviews looked great, but I was still hesitant. It could go horribly wrong. What if my hair turns a completely different color?! There was a chance it could turn out awesome too… I felt like being spontaneous one day and decided to make an appointment.
I didn’t know who I would be assigned to. All I knew is that I wanted my hair to look exactly like this picture I found online. It was Balayage. Ugh. Gorge. Anyway, so the big day came and I was so nervous. I was told Katy would be doing my hair that day. I had never met Katy before, but once I met her and discussed what I wanted, she really made me feel relaxed. I began to trust her more and more during the first hour. Oh I was so nervous about how it would turn out. We talked the whole time and she was such a sweet heart. Finally, it was time to wash the color out.
It turned out AMAZING. It was like the picture, but my own version. It was a new me! I got my hair trimmed after and blown out. Katy was excellent. She was also very informative and helpful with how to take care of my new hair and recommended hair products as well. I would definitely go see her! She is my official hair dresser!

I found a picture on Pinterest of a smokey lavender hair color and fell in love. I had been wanting to do something different for awhile so I figured I would go for it. Being new to the herndon area, I turned to Unilocal to find a hair salon and Bubbles had the best reviews. I had a consultation before my appointment just to make sure my hair could take the processing of the color.
My appointment was with Katy. Of course, there was a blizzard the day of my appointment, but Katie was super nice and didn’t seem rushed to get through the appointment. I showed her the picture I wanted and the end result was AMAZING. It was exactly what I wanted and turned out better than I could’ve hoped for! It was almost identical to the picture I showed her. I was very impressed! I highly recommend Bubbles of Woodland Park. Katy was amazing and explained everything she was doing along the way. I will definitely be going back!

I got full highlights for the first time in my life. I have naturally dark black hair and I’ve never dared to experiment too much with it. Even today as I walked in, I was really apprehensive about how it would turn out to be, if it’ll look too different and if it’ll suit me at all. Maura did a wonderful job. She was very patient with taking a note of my requirements, took 20 minutes to talk with me to be sure she understand what I want. When it comes to matters of looks, I love that. She treated my hair like her own! I am very very satisfied and definitely recommend Maura to anyone that is confused about changing their look.
Ambience of this place is wonderful. Doesn’t put a hole in your pocket. Big thumbs up. Definitely coming back to this place!
