Sun’s Hair Design

Been going here for years and they always get my hair right, no matter what style I ask for. My main hairstylist is Young Kim, but other hairstylists have also done a wonderful job when she is unavailable. Be sure to make an appointment beforehand. The employees are sweet and they really take care of you.

After searching for a couple of years, I finally found my perfect salon!
The staff there are all amazing! They are all very nice, friendly, and know how to listen to their clients. After every shampoo, they give me a quick, warm towel massage on my neck which is super relaxing. They listen to what you want for your hair and also give you expert advice depending on the damage on your hair. They care about what you want, but they also care about the health of your hair. I got my hair done with Tracey (or Soojung) and I’m really glad I went to her! I was recommended to go to Tracey from a family friend and I plan on getting my hair done from her from now on!
I first went to Tracey for a perm, and loved the results. I went back to her today for color, and I love it!
From my experience, I don’t think this is a place for a walk-​in because everyone takes down appointments and seemed pretty busy.

I just got my hair cut and full highlights and I’m pretty darned satisfied! Especially at the price I paid…100.00 total! That is a crazy bargain for a haircut, full highlights, and style.
Now on to details:
1. Salon décor & cleanliness — when I walked in I was very happy with the cleanliness and the over all look of the salon. Too many times I have walked into a «high end salon» to see hair everywhere (yes I know it’s a salon) and a general level of uncleanness that disappoints.
2. My stylist — young kim and I really liked her! I think she will become my go to hair stylist. She was friendly, professional, and just overall pleasant. She had other stylists helping her and they all were great to interact with and treated me well.
3. My haircut — I wanted to go from long hair (to my back) to a wavey MOB (medium bob). I showed Young Kim a pic and she said okay. At the end of it all she did a great job. She didn’t style it wavy like I wanted it (iw have naturally wavy hair) and I got nervous when she pulled out the flat iron but it looked good in the end. I can easily style it myself at hone after washing it.
4. The color — This was my only ‘not so happy’ moment. I wanted blonde highlights to lighten my hair. After the first round she had to go back after washing my hair to get the highlights lighter. Overall, the highlights are chunkier than I would want but it’s not something I couldn’t live with. I think I might try somewhere else next time if I want more subtle highlights.
Overall — I’m glad I tried this place out and will be making this my go to hair salon. You can’t beat the service, style, and price!

The only place I’ll go, and I live in MD! Yes, I drive all the way to Annandale, VA for my hair session with Juno. I’ve always had bad luck when it comes to my hair and I’m also very specific as to what I want. I hate it when I ask for a trim of 2inches and get a 5inch hair cut! Juno cuts my hair as to exactly what I want. I’m also very picky about my hair color but he understands my hair and always gets it right!
I love that shampoo & conditioning are included with pretty much anything you do. The place is clean and we’ll maintained.
I found this place because a girlfriend refuges to go to anyone else but Juno as well and referred me. I’ve been going there for about 3 years and will continue for as long as possible, he is the only person I trust with my hair!

My go-​to spot. I’m known for not sticking to the same stylist longer than a year or so, but Young Kim has been cutting my hair since 2009 now I think? I went to this place, at first, because a close friend had told me about it and, location-​wise, was very convenient for me then. Now, I go out of my way to see Young Kim. She’s awesome. Whatever she does to my hair, she always does it well. I never walk away feeling as if I should’ve told her to do this or that. It’s always spot-​on.
I do suggest bringing pictures of what you’d like. Appointments aren’t necessary, but Young Kim does book fast, so if you were looking to let her have a whack at your hair, I would call first. The other hairstylists are wonderful as well. I’ve heard good things about Tracy, as well as the man (i don’t know his name) from other people.

This is my go to hair salon as I have not found anything better. I only get a cut here. They charge $ 40 for haircut and wash (I have long hair).
The salon is clean and the staff is friendly.
They can get busy so I suggest making an appointment.

I have been coming to this place on and off for over 6 years. It costs $ 35 for haircut, which is pretty standard for an Asian salon. The $ 35 includes a free wash. Even though it’s a Korean hair salon, they do speak basic English, and don’t worry if you don’t speak Korean. I don’t speak Korean, and I have no problem communicating with my stylist. I usually go to Juno, and he’s the only guy in the salon, and he seems to be popular with men and children. He’s been there forever, and hence quite experienced and reliable.

I’ve been to Sun’s for four haircuts, and it’s been a pleasant experience each time with great results. I usually do NOTHING to my hair other than washing and combing, and cuts I get from here keep my hair manageable and neat for several weeks. I know that the stylists there, unlike other places, have been there for quite some time, and longevity is proof that they are doing things the right way.

Finally found someone that does hair right.. . Young Kim does a great job!

I went there a few times. I liked the hair designer did. She is good. I recommand this place. I didn’t need to wait for hair cut.

I went here once after this salon was recommended to me by someone after I complimented her on her hair color.
I had a Saturday late morning appointment. I was there for about five hours for a highlight on medium length hair! My fiancé was worried that I had been gone so long! I almost fell asleep in the chair and I didn’t see any magazines in English – all Korean magazines. I felt very out of place, even though I am Korean!
The service was horrible. The staff kept walking off to attend to other clients but would wander off for an hour, start drying my hair, then leave for 15 minutes, then come back, then go answer the phone, then dry my hair for 5 minutes, then wander off for 10 minutes.
The positive was that I was pleased with my hair color but the fact that it took almost 5 hours kinda negated that…

I find it really hard not to discriminate or pre-​judge the ability of a stylist by what they look like or how they present themselves. I should have known better! — I’m into the really trendy styles and cuts and let’s just say that none of the stylists here are younger than 30.
I came here because my friend recommended it; she claimed all of her friends went here. I don’t know if it’s because highlights are not their forte, but it came out looking really tacky. I wasn’t pleased at all. They didn’t do a terrible job, but I wasn’t happy either.

I started going to Sun’s Hair when I moved down here. I am Korean and wanted to try a Korean hair salon, they after all, do have the same type of hair as me.
It’s a small salon, I really like it there, I have been wanting to try different hair styles so I find a picture and bring it in. I went to this one lady first Young Kim, she did a really good job on my hair and I looked like the girl in the picture.
I went back again to do something different but Young Kim wasn’t in that week, so I went to Maria, she is very sweet, she doesn’t speak much English, and I don’t speak Korean so there was a language barrier, but we both got our point across and my hair turned out very nice, again I brought in a picture: D
I went to her again and got something a little crazy done, I bleached one side of my head and a small section of my bangs on the other side of my hair, it was cool looking, I was a bit nervous, but she did a great job, I did bring in a picture though, hehe. So far, I only go to Maria because she has done really nice work on my hair :) I like to keep one person: D
Overall, the ladies are so cute I really like it there, they are definitely reasonably priced, which is great! Cut, color, wash, blow dry is only $ 80! I didn’t know how much that usually costs because I hadn’t dyed my hair before, I called my mom and told her and she was like wow, because she pays $ 170 every time she gets her hair colored, cut, etc.
I have been there many times and I have not had a complaint yet, except when I have an 11am appointment, and I wake up at 10am go straight there, and smell delicious Korean food as they are eating for lunch! I want to say, Can I have a bite?
They take care of you there, meaning the offer to store your bag/​purse in a cabinet while your hair is done, give you magazines to read, it’s so nice. I recommend: D

I’ve been to Sun’s a handful of times, most recently earlier this week and will probably be back again.
PROS:
* Salon’s pretty clean.
* Wash (shampoo + conditioner) are included with the cut.
* They’re good with color. This time around, I got rid of my highlights and they did a good job getting me back to my natural hair color. I’ve also gotten highlights before and touching up highlights and both times, they did a good job with color.
CONS:
* Expect to use a lot of simple language if you don’t know Korean. Usually at least one person there knows more English and can help interpret, but your hair dresser probably won’t know too much English. I was OK with that, but some people aren’t.
* Don’t expect to be unloading to your hairdresser as she styles your hair b/​c, as mentioned, she usually doesn’t know that much English. I’m content with reading a magazine as she works, so it was fine with me.
* The wait. I’ve gone on weekends before and have waited up 30 – 60 min after my scheduled appt time before they finally got to me. Not great, esp if you don’t have a whole lot of time. For this, I recommend going at an off-​peak hour like on a weekday. I got my hair done on a weekday and actually had my hair appt start on time.

Pretty good place. I used to get my hair cut here all the time and they did a decent enough job, though I’m not too picky. Men’s cuts cost about $ 20. One problem I had with them is that they weren’t that great about keeping scheduled appointments. — sometimes I would schedule an appt for ten, but they wouldn’t see me for a half hour to an hour (sometimes, not often).
I now go to another place to get my hair cut, which costs $ 12 (like I said — I’m not too picky), but still I had no significant issues with this place and actually did like them.

Okay, now that I’ve been to this place a few times, I had to lower it one star to three. This place is very hit and miss. The first time was decent, the second time not bad, but this third time… yikes…my gawd… what did they do to my hair!!! And I’m really not that picky. Basically, it’s not a bad place, but it’s definitely not the find of the century. Good luck to all those who go…:)

Just got my first somewhat decent haircut in all of the DC metropolitan area and I’ve been living here for a while. If you’re Asian… and even if you’re not… you should check this place out. It’s in Annandale, VA and it seems to be filled with Korean people (clients and hair stylists), but they did a very decent job on my short hair with my uneven head.
The haircut was $ 20 and I had someone named Maria. Don’t expect excellent customer service (I didn’t get any of that), nor a super flashy/​friendly environment. Just expect a good haircut for those with super spiky, course hair.
