Mothers avoid Scissors Salon – I received a great cut by Melanie. However, the customer relations in the salon was unpleasant. Due to circumstances, I had to bring my baby with me. Now he was in a stroller, not running around. It was made pretty clear to me that he was not wanted the moment I stepped into the door. He would occasionally make a few loud noises, but did I mention he is a "baby". Simone, the owner, actually yelled at my son (A BABY!!). I should've walked out right then. It was suggested to me that maybe I shoul... read more

We are happy that you are ejoying your new cut! Thank you for your feed back.. We understand being a mom with a 16 month old baby is challenging and I apoligize that you misunderstood my intention when I was trying to communicate with Aden. He was having tantrums while you were getting your hair cut and I stoped with my client and attempted to humor him.. I was not being mean.. I was trying to help you out... We really are okay with quite babys .Our small studio really is not a place for a baby that is loud and has the tenda... read more

Great First Experience – After walking around all summer as a HAIR DON'T, I had finally had enough! A co-worker recommended Simone and Scissors, so I gave her a call and she agreed to see me later in the week. When I walked in I was greated by the resident kitten, who had been rescued by Simone and decided to take up residence until a suitable home could be found. Simone also greeted me warmly and professionally and made a point to really listen to what I wanted to do with my hair. She sat down with me and talked about what ... read more

GREAT hair coloring – I have had my hair colored about five times by Simone, and each time I was extremely satisfied. I came into her salon today with bright orange hair (the result of a botched dye job) and she was able to completely fix my terrible "do". She did a remarkable job and my hair is FINALLY back to its natural color after three months of being carrot orange. Simone is very flexible; willing to talk in detail about what her clients want, and is happy to look at pictures of your "ideal hair" which many stylists ar... read more

Business response:

Thank you for the great review Whitney! I know that the drive from DC to Richmond is sometimes hard and we regret that you had a bad experience at a local DC shop.You are such a beautiful lady and the brassy orange really didnt suite you. It is a huge compliment and we really appreciate the fact that you drove all the way to Richmond to have us fix your orange hair. On your next visit, I would like to treat you to a manicure compliments of Scissors. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your review. Melanie is ou... read more

scissors – The best place ever to get your hair done is here! I have always done my own hair but i wanted to go short and i wanted to go blonde so i came to Scissors which was the best thing i have ever done for myself. The atmosphere at Scissors is relaxing and you feel at home. Simone does an excellent job on my hair. i would trust her to anything she wanted to do with my hair! oh and one other thing Simone if you ever leave the state i will have to follow you. you are my first hair stylist and my last!

Great cut and color ... very relaxing salon! – Thank you, Simone (and Melanie) - for a fantastic experience today! The salon is so eclectic and relaxing! Sorry you had to fix the "mess " I call hair, but you did a fabulous job matching my current color, and cutting my hair to start the process of actually acquiring some style - and it's so easy and fun to style! Loved "the upstairs" and will have to squeeze in some time for some of your other offerings, soon. Thanks again ... now I can enjoy my vacation and not worry that ot... read more

Business response:

don't understand all the hype – I was looking for a new hair salon and saw all of these amazing reviews. I thought it was a little suspicious when Scissors has way more reviews than any other salon, but, I listened to all of the glowing reviews and called for an appointment. To my surprise I was able to get an appointment the very same day. Lots of openings. Hmmmm...with such positive reviews, it sure was easy to get in. Later through conversation at the salon, I found out they encourage people to give reviews. I doubt other... read more

Business response:

Thank you for your feed back !We are sorry that you did not enjoy your experience or the decor at our salon as most of our clients do. I dont recall anyone ever having to wait 2 hours for a haircut at our salon. Thats is not possible..We do our best to help in choosing a style for our guests. We ask that our new clients come early and choose some photos of what they like.or bring some from home.. Not so sure why that is painstaking?? WE do have a no cellphone policy Sorry and you can always step outside if you need to talk o... read more

Air Brush Tanning is the way to go – I have been a client of Simone's for over 8 years now for great cuts and awesome color, but this is the first time I have received an air brush tan. Speaking from the land of very fair skin, this service gave me fabulous color in preparation for my engagement pictures that were being taken the next day. Be prepared to suffer through a night of not showering and looking like PigPen, but it is worth it--as the next day after I could shower, the color evened out and I had a gorgeous NON-ORAN... read more

Business response:

Thanks for the feedback.. Anyone interested to suffer in the hot sun for 10 days.. or 10 /20 minutes sessions in a tanning salon ?? Who has the times for that? You can have a fabulous tan in 20 minutes.... The cost we think is very reasonable!! We cant make more time and you will have amazing color in only 20 minutes... you dont have to sweat for or travel for... Yes, you might get alittle product that will rub off on your bed sheets or clothes.. (washes off) We ask you wear black loose clothes. The cost is $50.00 for a fabu... read more

How should I write this... – I know! With words of appreciation. Thank you Simone, for so many things. For creating a warm, inviting salon that made me feel totally at ease. Not only that, it has some great eye candy and I never once got bored with the scenery. Also, thanks sooo much for hiring Melanie and Jennifer. And while this might not have been very significant to you, dabbing the blue off my face while I was getting colorized was so unexpected...you weren't even my stylist! I apologize for not thanking you at the time... read more

Business response:

We really appreciate your trust in us. Having your hair colored for the first time can be scary .. and electic blue!! Melanie loves to do crazy colors .Thanks for letting her cut loose!!You were fun to have at the salon and thank you for all the very nice compliments.

Disappointed – After reading the reviews here I gave it a try. She talked me into color and I didn't even see a difference. The hair cut was a disaster. I looked like I had a mullet with layers on the top that were way too short. I'm not sure why my experience was so different. 

Business response:

As the owner of Scissors I would like to invite you to come back to the salon at no charge to help with your new hair cut.. Perhaps with some styling tips, you will be more comfortable with the layers.. The newer styles have lots of layers and if you are not used to that, you may have a hard time.. If you would like your color to have more punch, we can recolor your hair at no charge. We care about our clients and want you to love your hair. Communication is always so important. Perhaps your experience was different because ... read more
