D Rock Salon in Fairfax, VA

10000/10 for Daniela's service but docked off a star because of the wait. I requested Daniela for a 2pm appointment on Saturday and she did not disappoint! I haven't gotten a haircut in 3 years so I really did my research for which salon to go to. Since my appointment was at 2, I showed up around 1:50 (make sure to park in the retail parking garage!) and checked in with the receptionist. I noticed that the stylist comes to the waiting area and calls for your name so I just sat at the couch but when 35 minutes passed and nobody called for me I was pretty annoyed. When I went up to check with the receptionist (who had ear buds in and was on her phone the entire time), she said she would double check with Daniela. When she came back, she didn't tell me anything just sat right back down and went on her phone again. When Daniela finally came over, it was obvious that she had no idea I was here because the receptionist didn't let her know. Daniela apologized multiple times even though it wasn't her fault and made sure to ask me a lot of questions about the style and cut I wanted. Other than having to wait, I am very excited to come back here any time I want something done to my hair.

I live in Fairfax I don't live to far so I decided to try them out and If I could give them a zero I would. I had to wait so long on my appointment and no one even apologized for that, and when I was finally attended it took so long to do my hair. I wasn't even happy with the result and I got over charged.

Amazing service Donna is amazing! Love the babylights she gave me turned out the way I wanted. She was so sweet. The attention to detail was great as well, the color blends in so well, the dimension is unreal, looks so natural! Thank you Donna!! :)

My recent experience was a simple haircut and previously also did a balavage. For the cost of a haircut for a woman, it was super subpar. I do not recommend this place for hair. There's cheaper and better haircuts/hair bleaching elsewhere.

TLDR: Avoid this salon unless you have pin-straight hair and want minimal changes. I, with loosely curly hair, paid $400 for a coerced, rushed hairstyle that took 32 minutes of Christine's (the stylist) focused time. The color difference is only noticed in the sun, and haircut was choppy with my natural hair. I waited four months before posting this review, and I still regret my D-Rock experience. The barely noticeable highlights and bad haircut could've been done better by myself (I literally have no experience), saving $400. This salon is only suitable for those with pin-straight, brunette hair seeking minimal changes. I have loose, dark brown, curly hair and wanted to recreate the silver highlights I got two years ago. Despite specifying "silver highlights," on the website and calling to ensure its possibility, I walked into the appointment to hear the stylist say she would not do it as it was unsafe and impossible (despite past pictures of my hair proving its possibility). After 40 minutes of persuasion and a consultation from another stylist about the silver, I was coerced into light all-over highlights and a haircut. The entire process, including applying foils/color, washing/toner, and cutting/blow-drying, took 32 minutes from her, the other 28 were waiting. The haircut was terrible--uneven layers and length. When my hair curled, the unblended difference was evident. I paid $400 for a dye job barely visible even in the sun and a choppy-looking haircut that needed fixing. D-Rock coerced me into a style I didn't want. Before my appointment, I saw reviews about how the stylists are "realistic/honest" with what you want, but I do not think this is genuinely the case, in my experience, the stylist chose the style that required the least amount of effort and time from her and the style she could charge me the highest price for. I will not be coming back here, my experience has shown me the bad reviews were indeed correct, and also that the stylists only care about charging the most possible for the bare minimum. Anywhere else would've charged around $200 for this, I have asked friends and even got a consultation from my old stylist. If all of this is not enough to persuade you, I paid less for the silver hair I previously had, which took a total of 5 hours of my old stylists time, and with three hours of that being dedicated bleaching time. Please do not go here, your wallet and reflection will be in pain!!!
