Hair Cuttery

Acceptable place. Choose your stylist and try and stick with them so they can remember your likes and dislikes. I have used Kim for 6 years and very pleased. Prices reasonable too. Guys fly in and out of there like lightening!

This Hair cuttery is a good place. My favorite stylists are Cindy, Jessica, and Caroline. They are all friendly and caring. I am satisfied most of the time!

Phuong is the best!!! He took his time to do my hair and it came out very nice! Definitely go back to him next time. Highly recommend Phuong! Just make sure you make appointment before you come!!!

Prices keep increasing, and the staff are usually in a rush and have a horrible attitude. Especially the sassy Asian guy, he’s the worst. Not worth the time or money.

Terrible customer service. I was literally next in line to get a haircut, the hair stylist even looked right at me as she was finishing up with another client, and she proceeded with another client that had literally just walked in. Unbelievable. I would definitely NOT recommend this place.

Great waiting room entertainment. 3 kids tackling eachother on the ground bumping into things and crawling up peoples legs. Definitely the best hair cut entertainment around. ²⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend. Also they have good hair cuts too.

No respect to queue; Phuong asked me to wait for 30 mins even though there was no one waiting; I put myself in wait list; I came after 25 mins and for my surprise he was cutting someone else hair: waited another 20 mins. Avoid them

Here’s an update. I went to Hair cuttery for the second time and this time it was a different lady who cut my hair. She gave me only 2 options — straight or one layer. She was rough while shampooing my hair and not paying heed to my grimacing. After the hair cut she didn’t even brush off the small pieces of cut hair from my shirt. I had gone there in the middle of the day and I came back to my office with small pieces of hair all over me.

Got my eye brows done, just as a tester… It took longer than expected but my stylist, Cindy, was very kind and gentle. Computer signing to replace front desk help is not a pleasant experience, maybe they looking for opportunities for advertisement but it felt like privacy invasion.

Very bad service and no courtesy. The staff asked people standing behind me to have seat and proceed for haircut. Ridiculous shop. No one came to our service even though there were staff in the shop.

My review is for Nolly!
She took out the time to listen to me and figure out EXACTLY what I wanted. I left impressed. I always feel nervous when a hair salon can take me the day I call, so I was not really expecting much out of it… but WOW was I surprised!
I got red highlights (she made them look super natural) and trimmed off my dead ends. She LISTENED to what I wanted and was honest about what she thought would look best with my skin tone. Thanks again to Nolly :) I’m a student at UMD and I left happy!

The worst! I had a terrible experience my first time here, including being cut pretty badly and having to deal with a «stylist» who seemed to have the unfortunate luck of being born without a personality. Decided to give it a second try, got the same lack-​luster life-​hating woman, got the same horrible service and terrible haircut and will NEVER EVER go back.

I have been going to the College Park Hair Cuttery for years, and for the most part have been satisfied with the service that I have received there … Until yesterday. The process went as normal. I don’t care what stylist does my hair. It is thin (ponytail circumference around the size of a dime), a little wavy, and not difficult. I requested a shampoo cut and blow dry, on the sign listed as $ 24. I was quoted $ 28 after getting my hair washed. The cut went fine… The blow dry took an hour. Leaving my hair incredibly dried out. The guy was literally taking just a few strands at a time. PAINFUL! When I got to the register the stylist had to ask another stylist (who has a glorified mullet) how much to charge me. She came over and charged me $ 28 for the blow dry and $ 18 for the hair cut. After complaining. I was told it was because my hair is long and curly. When stating the price was high. They told me that well that is the long hair price.
So long story short, a trim and blow dry that generally takes 20 minutes took an hour, and then I was charged $ 18 extra. I will not be going back.

Just returned from yet another wonderful experience with Nolly at the Hair Cuttery in College Park. This is the second time in two months that Nolly has swooped in to the rescue on my hair. The first time, I decided to revert to my college years and cut my hair with results one could expect with blunt scissors and no full reflective access to the back of my head. Nolly turned a pretty dire situation into a pixie cut that received a TON of compliments and one that I loved. It was my first time with such short hair, but Nolly made a risky cut into one that was feminine and flirty, soft and flexible – it was solid.
I made a mistake of not returning to her for a basic trim several weeks later, and was devastated that a trim turned into a frenzied cut-​fest without any regard for the style that was so professionally done. I came back today full of apologies and Nolly took it in stride. She also returned my hair to one that I can be proud of again.
I’ve never been a devout follower of any hair stylist until now. I trust Nolly completely – she listens, thinks creatively and discusses options, and knows what she is doing.
I highly recommend her (and the Hair Cuttery salon that supports her).

This is more of a review of the stylist than anything. James was fantastic! Funny, friendly, he did exactly what I wanted, nothing more, and asked to be sure of what I wanted before each cut. I usually want to cry after I get cut because it didn’t end up how I wanted but this was not the case with James. Definitely ask for him when you go!

Pretty disorganized. Me sitting in the waiting area seemed to confound multiple people, none of which asked if I was being helped. People who caught a staff member at the desk when they walked in were taken immediately. I waited to see how long it would take before anyone asked when it was obvious that I wasn’t going to be. I’m not the kind of person who makes a production out of not being serviced so I just walked out. Throughout my wait several staff sat in their chairs reading the newspaper or on their phones.

I’m interning in D.C. this summer and am not from around here, and being completely neurotic about my hair, I was worried about not going in to see my regular stylist at school. However, I had read some good things about Arthur and decided to give him a try, and I’m so glad I did! The other review that says he’s cut hair for 30 years is correct. He knows hair so well! I told him I was having trouble getting volume with really fine hair, and without upselling me, he proved that my drugstore shampoo was the root of the problem (no pun intended) and encouraged me to invest when I could. I had just gotten paid that day, so I decided to buy what he recommended (a Redken product) and it has worked beautifully.
So, now to comment on the cut — I went from a shoulder-​length, overgrown bob that would go limp in the humidity to an adorable, manageable pixie cut. He did a beautiful job with a razor — the same fine ends that used to drive me crazy now have lots of lift. All I have to do to it is wash it and lightly brush it, but he also showed me how to use my existing product to style this new cut on days that I feel like it. So again with not up-​selling me. I’m in school and I personally do not like it when stylists try to get me to buy the entire shelf of products — he simply recommended a higher quality shampoo, and taught me how to work with my existing finishing product. I brought a few pictures in to show him how I wanted my hair cut, and he was able to give me exactly what I had envisioned, somehow working within my budget constraints!
Also, he was incredibly professional, pleasant, and funny. It was a huge step for me to cut my hair this short, and I was clearly a wreck, but he was so patient and kind about the whole thing. I’m not sure if I’ll see him again, so I want to make sure he gets lots of other customers! Ask for Arthur!

Starting with the good stuff: My straight-​haired spouse always looks great after his hair cuts.
But he isn’t writing this review. I, the curly haired half of the equation, am writing this review. I’m really sorry to say this, I’ve had some excellent hair cuts there, but I must issue a Curly Hair Advisory Warning — Uncertain Results, for this HC.
Why? Because there is no way to tell what sort of haircut you’re going to get. Maybe excellent. Maybe OK. Maybe on par with the haircut you inflicted on yourself when you were young and very stupid.
So despite the cheap prices, the curled should avoid this place. If your hair is curly you can go forever without a haircut anyway.
Note to hairdressers who can’t handle curly hair: In an ideal world you would learn to cut and style curly hair because the DMV is the land of diverse hair types.
Since this is a less than perfect world, just tell the customer you can’t cut curly hair. OK? Please? This will avoid gnashing of teeth, bad online reviews and permanent loss of custom.

I have been to the Hair Cuttery several times with mediocre results (for lack of a better option in College Park), but will never go again. I have NEVER had my hair cut by someone who speaks english at this establishment. I don’t understand why anyone would employ workers that cannot speak english whose job it is to understand precisely what the customer has in mind.
That being said, the service I received this time was unacceptable. Instead of incessant snapping in broken english that I was accustomed to, today the woman who cut my hair would mumble to be a question, and after deciphering what she said I would respond. For example, when asked how short I wanted my hair to be on top, I responded, half the length it is now. She responded with a mumbled question and then just continued. I ended up with an uneven haphazard haircut (I did not ask for anything complicated) which she laughed at while showing me the back of my head.
To top it off, the usual $ 14 price has been raised to $ 16. Why?
Because it is now «haircut and shampoo» for $ 16.
«But I didn’t ask for shampoo».
«No you ask for haircut but shampoo free».
«But you never offered me a shampoo»
«I sorry, $ 16»
I am astounded that a place like this remains in business. All I am looking for is a decently priced simple haircut but apparently that is too much to ask for.

I totally hate the place!@!
The peole here will NEVER ever listen to what you want, instead give u what they think u need!
the lady who cut my hair did not even understand what I wanted her to do to my hair I believe, she was simply ‘scissor happy’, and wanted to get going on my hair! She had absolutely NO technique and I hated what she did.
The worst part, I came home only to have my aunt point out to me, a whole big section of my hair trailing below my new short length! I mean that lady FORGOT/​IGNORED a whole section of my hair, and left it un-​cut! My aunt took a scissor to it though!
well even after this experience, I decided to give them another chance (call it lack of option, maybe) and I ended up with another guy. It was like Déjà vu again! He listened, nodded and then proceeded to cut up my hair with a frenzy. I still regret the results. sigh! I am so sure he too did not understand a word of what I said. sigh!
When I was done, the guy glared at me for leaving only 10% in the tip! beat that now! Also, they keep this shelf of discounted hair care products, most of which are out dated and old :/​God knows WHY!
Totally to be avoided!
