Another wonderful hair experience at HairSmith & CO. today. I've never left disappointed from this salon. Not only do I receive a fantastic hair cut and color but it's also such a fun time with Lucette!
Katya is talented and kind. You will love what she does with your hair!🤩
I see Madison at HairSmith and have sent two of my friends to her, and now we're all regulars. I convinced my husband to try the salon, and he comes monthly to see Katya. Today I got a great blowout from Ashley. Big fan of the whole Hairsmith team!
Excellent
All staff is friendly and professional. My stylist Madi is always amazing with my color and cut and styling.
Meghan gives me the best haircut!
Lucette was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, the salon had such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the entire experience relaxing and enjoyable. Lucette’s talent, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stood out, and I left feeling refreshed, confident, and so happy with the results. I…
Timo is the best! And amazing with curly hair.
Lucette gave me a great curly hair cut today! She is very experienced and skilled, not to mention sweet and personable. Curly haired girls know how difficult it is to find a skilled stylist who knows how to cut curls to maximize them. Lucette is an expert! So glad I found her. Booking online was simple as was…
I have found my stylist! Lucette is wonderful! Not only did she give me a great cut, but she showed me how to dry it! I have never had that before!
great!
Timo’s curly cuts are amazing!!!
Ashley gave me a fabulous haircut that I absolutely love! Thanks to my favorite new hairdresser.
Love Madi!!!!
I have been going to Hairsmith for several years and love it! The vibe is relaxing, friendly, inviting. Everyone is professional while also feeling like friends. Madi is wonderful! She consults with me first to get my ideas and feelings before she does anything. Her skills are amazing. I always love what she does.…
My wife's stylist, Jax, is outstanding!
Megan is the best. I have been seeing her for years and couldn't be more impressed.
I drive 45mins because I love the warm, inviting ambience of the salon & Madi always does such a great job with my cut & color.
I have been going to see Madi at Hairsmith and Co. for the past 4 years. I absolutely adore her! I highly recommend you pay her a visit.
I had an amazing experience with Madison at HairSmith and Co.! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel comfortable and listened carefully to exactly what I wanted. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and talent truly exceeded my expectations. She took the time to explain the process, offered great…
Ashley was great! I love the color and hair style!!
Megan is the best - I have been going to her over 20 years! She has trained many people in her shop who get lots of hands on experience. She does all kinds of hair and is miraculous at using color. Highly recommend!!!
If you have curly, kinky or wavy hair, Timo is your girl! Her expertise with curls is top notch. Love the relaxed vibe and friendliness of everyone at Hairsmith!
Madi is amazing!! She has been doing my hair for years! She is talented and so attentive - highly recommend!
Savannah is the best! She’s great at baby lights and really takes the time to listen to what you want.
I had the same hairstylist for decades, and she tragically died of pancreatic cancer! It has been a struggle ever since to try to find someone who enjoys and has the ability to give short haircuts! This is my third with Ashley, and she really listens, questions, and refines the cut as she gets to know me! Love the…
Wow what a find! I did some review research before booking and Ashley was just as wonderful as the reviews said. As a new client I had a great consultation to understand what I was looking for and to match my color. The salon is lovely and thoughtful in the design. The coffee / tea station with snacks is a treat while waiting for color to process.
Fun salon, always a good vibe. Katya always makes me feel special while I’m in her chair. My color and cut consistently exceeds my expectations!
Katya has been cutting my hair for years and always does a great job! The salon has a very great environment. Wouldn’t go anywhere else
Beautiful space and talented stylists!
I was so happy with my soft blended highlights from Ashley. She really listened to me and did wonders with my very fine hair. Not an easy task! I was looking for something really natural because I only do color every six months or so. If you’re like me and you want something subtle that will grow out beautifully,…
Ashley is an amazing hairstylist. She styles my hair the way I ask for and makes great suggestions. Ashley is also fun to talk with, she’s such a nice person. I highly recommend her.
I wouldn't trust my curls to anyone else!
I’ve been going to Madi for 4 years now and I love her!!
Maddie is the best! She expertise on color, style and cuts is beyond extraordinary!
Had an appointment with Lucette. She was great. We came up with a great plan for my hair. I needed to cut after several weeks of recuperating from an operation. Left feeling like 1 million bucks. Great place, great cut, and style, Great Stylist!
Madi is terrific- she is knowledgeable and very sweet. I love that she offers suggestions but will totally do what you want regardless. Been coming here for about a year and half. Love it.
I've been coming here for years and get an excellent cut and excellent service every time. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Katya took the time to listen to my hair and face shape challenges and analyzed my hair. The cut she gave me frames my face perfectly and my soft curls are very happy!
Lucette is the BEST!!
Great staff!
Madi is the best - a communicative, attentive, highly attuned and skilled colorist who always accommodates my requests and executes the most beautiful, natural teasylights ever. She’s an artist of the highest caliber in aesthetic acuity, technique, and delivery. She consistently updates me on what to expect, what…
I simply wouldn't go anywhere else. Exceptional hair stylists who do a superb job across a wide range of hair textures, cuts, colors, and 'dos! The music and energy are always fun and the customer service is top notch. I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone else.
Megan is a most talented stylist, excellent with both color and cut. I’ve been her client for ten years and have never been happier with my hair.
Had a wonderful experience today with Katya. She gave such a wonderful and thorough consultation. She was the perfect mix of professional and personable. She is truly passionate about what she does and it radiates from her. I was looking for a new salon and I’ve absolutely found it. I walked out of the salon feeling…
Love this place! I feel so relaxed and the staff is great!
Enjoy talking w/Lucette ---very engaging.
Megan graciously got me in for a bang trim at short notice and as usual, she did a perfect job!
Love this salon! The staff are friendly and accommodating! They have coffee, snacks, sparkling water and comfy furniture. Katya is the best!!!
The hidden location belies a warm, welcoming group of stylists who are talented, lighthearted, and delightful to spend time with. And undoubtedly I leave looking SO MUCH BETTER than when I walked in!
Zoe always does a great job for me. They're never overly busy. Nice atmosphere, I'd recommend it
I have been coming to Hairsmith & Co for several years now. I love this salon. It's so unique and cozy and the vibes & energy there are ALWAYS positive. Ashley has been my stylist for a long time now and I adore her. She's so friendly and kind and extremely good at what she does. Every time I leave Ashley, I feel…
Madi is simply a delight - she listens, helps me figure out what I want and executes it perfectly every time! I have recommended her to many of my friends who love her work, too! Highly recommend this salon.
Posting a second review to say how great Lucette is! I’ve had wonderful experiences at Hair Smith - first with dear Chris - and now with the talented Lucette. She is quite an artist - knows the latest styles but also understands timeless elegance and what suits her clients’ individual style. In addition, Hair Smith…
I’ve seen Ashley twice now, one for cut and one for color, and she is AMAZING!!! I have been beyond happy both visits, and plan to see her from here on out. She does well with long lasting color and works really great with curly hair.
Katia always does such an excellent job and the environment is very relaxing. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a new stylist.
I love my cut!
I've been coming to HairSmith and Co for about a year and a half, and have worked with both Jordan and Ashley. I have had a great experience with both stylists, and also with the salon, which is friendly, welcoming, and professional. Stylists are caring and knowledgeable. Love HairSmith!
10/10 service & curl care :)
I can't say enough how obsessed I am with Ashley. She's so kind and fun, gives me great recommendations on how to best take care of my hair. Every time I get a haircut with her (I think I've had 4-5 now with her), people comment on how great my hair looks and it lasts for a long time! She really understands how to…
Lucette is a very talented hairstylist. She listens well and discusses what you are looking for in a cut. The staff in the shop are friendly and helpful. You can’t go wrong at this salon.
Megan is truly the best! I had such a great experience once again at my appointment today. She really listened to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and gave me a cut that looks even better than I imagined. Megan is top-notch--so detail-oriented, and so talented. I always leave feeling confident and refreshed. Highly recommend Megan!
Best salon in Cville! Great stylists with a welcoming vibe.
Love HairSmith and of course Miss. Timo! Wonderful salon with amazing stylists. I always walk out feeling great.
Got beautiful color at Hairsmith today. Thank you Ashley,!
Outstanding experience every time. The level of care, precision, and style here is unmatched. Timo brings true craftsmanship to every appointment. Consistently exceptional!
Willow rocks! She still rocks!
I’ve been going to Hairsmith for many years. All the stylists are skilled. The salon is relaxing and attractive.
I’ve been going to HairSmith for a couple of years. I’ve gotten everything from trims to bangs to full on chops and transformations, and their team always nails it! No doubt the entire team is great, but Timo and Jordan are the best curly hair specialists I’ve ever been to.
Katya is an artist and a beautiful human!!
Hair Smith is the best! The atmosphere is super fun and the stylist are all very friendly and talented.
Timo is the BEST!!
Best hair salon in Charlottesville! We recently moved from Arizona and I was looking for a new hair salon, I tried a few different places across town, but none were great until I found HairSmith and CO. They are truly experts in hair and their pricing I very fair. I couldn't be happier that I have found my forever hair salon! I would highly recommend!
i love my hair. thank you
Timo is always so so professional, detail oriented, and diligent in her work. She spent extra time with me to ensure my cut and style was not only beautiful in the salon but also functional for my everyday life. Amazing experience as always!
I love the atmosphere of this salon, and I highly recommend Kattya. She is kind, authentic, and she makes my straight, thin, lifeless hair look photoshoot worthy.
Cannot say enough great things about HairSmith and Jordan as my stylist!! She really takes her time, and it shows 110% in the finished product. From guiding me on how to properly care for and style my curls, to touching up my highlights, she was amazing every step of the way. At my first appointment I got product…
Madi has styled my hair for over two years, from the time she corrected an unfortunate brassy blonde color. She is outstanding at every aspect of haircare that I value. These include creating nuanced colors that are natural looking; precision cutting; finding products that treat frizzy, aging hair; and countering a…
Absolutely adore Megan. I came in with an unshaped, short, mop of a head of hair. She walked me through her suggestions, gave me the cutest haircut, recommended amazing products that will cater to my thin hair, and helped me a make a plan for the next few months to achieve my goal of growing my hair out. 10/10 recommend HairSmith and CO.
HairSmith and Co. is very clean, welcoming, and they use great products. Madi is an incredible stylist. She takes the time to explain what she’s doing, offers thoughtful suggestions for any hair concerns, and makes sure I’m comfortable throughout the appointment. I always leave feeling so happy with the results.
I’ve been going to Hair Smith & Co for about 3 years and have loved it. I’ve gone for curly cuts with Timo and she is amazing. Timo always takes the time to understand what I want done, but I honestly trust her to do anything. I’ve never left unhappy. They also offer bang and neck trims to keep my cut lasting…
I am so glad I found Ashley at HairSmith and Co. She's a talented stylist and takes time to listen before coming up with a plan. I'm always pleased when I leave the salon and how my haircut grows out - continues to look great!
Jordan is the best! I’ve been going to her for a while now and couldn’t be happier. Her expertise with hair color is second to none and I’m always so happy when my hair is done; it looks natural, silky and beautiful. Jordan always checks in with me before she begins the color process to see if I’m still happy with…
The BEST environment. I feel confident, beautiful, and refreshed every single time. Lucette is an absolute godsend, working toward my hair goals each time and leaving me with a full cup at the end of each appointment. She seriously knows her stuff:)
Excellent!!
HairSmith is awesome. Very talented staff that listens well to help you achieve the style you are going for.
i love this salon! timo does an amazing job on my curly hair, and jordan is incredible with color (and curly cuts!). always happy to come relax here and have my hair in such capable hands.
Relaxing atmosphere, wonderful stylists! Everyone is professional and friendly. I have had services with both Megan and Luciette and very happy with my results.
Hairsmith knows curly hair!! I found out curly hair should be dry cut then tweaked as necessary after styling and that’s what my hairdresser does. Thanks, Timo. If you’re after the same be sure to say because only a few are curly hair experts. I am ALWAYS happy with what Timo does with my hair!
Just got my third cut with Chris at HairSmith today and couldn't be happier with my new salon after moving to the area recently. The salon is cozy and welcoming and Chris does a great job with my short, wavy hair.
Quick and efficient making an appointment, Fantastic customer service with staff and couldn’t be happier with my haircut and consultation.
My hair is wavy/curly, depending on the weather - and the cut! I found this salon via social media and haven’t gone elsewhere since. Previously, I tried to two different local salons advertising wavy/curly hair specialists, and left with straight, blown-out hair, despite being up front about not wanting a blow out…
I love the positive vibe of this salon and have been a loyal customer for years. I highly recommend their excellent stylists. Timo is wonderful!
just perfect hair care and personal care. thank you sydna
I’ve been seeing Madi at Hairsmith & Co. for years, and she always does such a great job. My full foils and root shadow grow out beautifully and the color is always soft, blended, and natural. The whole salon has a great vibe—welcoming, stylish, and relaxed. Highly recommend!
Ashley did an amazing job! She taught me how to manage my curly hair, answered all my questions, and made the experience relaxing.
Lucette is absolutely amazing! She has a way of making you feel comfortable and listens intently to gain a good perspective of what you style you want and what is going on with your hair. Lucette is like talking to someone you have known forever and she executes the perfect hairstyle every time!
Loved my first curly cut appointment with Jordan! Working with her was a collaboration, not a set prescriptive. She took the time to really examine my curl pattern and figure out the best cut to work with it. She gave me very detailed instructions on the best way to care for it and made sure the products I was…
Fantastic place for haircuts and styling, Timo is especially amazing for curly cuts. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and supportive. The business is also very inclusive! My kids also both get their haircuts by Ashley who is just wonderful and does a great job.
Katya is the best! She has been doing my hair for years. She moved to the Hairsmith and Co. salon recently and it is a great fit. It is a groovy space with several stylists. I appreciate the indoor / outdoor seating, the lounge area, and the free beverage station.This visit I wanted calico coloring and she nailed it! Love my new doo!
Beautiful salon and vibe! Love everyone there. Customer service is excellent and top notch. My curl specialist Timo is EVERYTHING! She has definitely helped transform my curls and also educate me on taking care of them.
Megan first cut my hair over twenty years ago, at a fundraiser for the school where I was working. As always, an inviting atmosphere, friendly conversations, and I came out feeling great about how I look, even after all these years!
The vibe in this salon is wonderful! It's clean and very open and welcoming! Katya at HairSmith and Co. has taken the time to really understand my hair! I have thick hair that seemingly has a mind of it's own at times! Katya has worked with me to ensure that when I leave the comfort of her chair, I can properly…
Friendly, considerate staff, and Megan is magic with curly hair... I've been going to her for years!
I am the first to admit that for most of my life I switched hair salons every couple years. But not this time. I love my haircut every time, and I feel like Madi not only listens to me, but remembers my preferences and what works best for my hair.
Lucette is great. Takes her time, has a plan, and supports you through it. Happy
This hair salon is always welcoming and comfortable to walk into. I can tell by the banter that everyone, clients and hairstylists, enjoy each other and the beautiful space. AND I always leave with an amazing haircut!
I have been coming here for years and love this salon! It's a great space and Timo is the best! I also hired Daphne for my wedding hair and she did a great job! It took her about 2 hours to do hair for myself and 5 bridesmaids. She was easy to work with and everyone looked great!
Such a wonderful environment and friendly staff. I also love how they aim to use clean haircare products and provide lots of helpful recommendations and feedback!
I had such a great experience with Katya today! She was warm and friendly, efficient, and made my hair so beautiful! The interior of the salon is beautiful and relaxing, and all of the staff were friendly. Highly recommend!
Lucette was over-the-top a fantastic hair stylist ‼️ she styled my hair way better than the picture i showed her. Her demeanor was warm and inviting. Im hooked on her as she’s the best ‼️
I cannot highly enough recommend. I have worked with both Madi and Caroline and both are fantastic. The service is personalized, they listened to what I like and what I wanted my hair to look like. They also gave suggestions to help me figure out what would work best. They are attentive, but good at matching the vibe.
Timo does an amazing job cutting my curly hair! I always leave with it looking exactly how I hoped. Best haircuts I’ve ever had.
Amazing salon and amazing stylists- my whole family (including my two teenage daughters with their own ideas on style) see stylists at HairSmith and are always thrilled with the style!
Lucette is amazing! I get exactly what I ask for, and she's so friendly. Really knows what she's doing.
HairSmith and CO is a top notch salon and I can’t say enough great things about it. Megan is a professional who takes pride in her work and it shows in the detail and time she takes with my hair. I look forward to each salon day!
It is so hard to find someone who GETS curls, and Jordan does! I’ve loved each cut and she’s also so helpful with scalp/hair health concerns. Also the atmosphere is just kind and bright there, really lovely
A review for blondes! If I could give 100 stars to Madi, I would! The salon itself is clean, bright, and has a fun decor vibe, so it's an enjoyable place to spend time. The whole staff seems incredibly friendly and sociable! I have naturally medium blonde hair, and it is SO hard to find someone who can take my…
You know the cutt is good if someone asked for my number after I left. Thank you Zoe! 10/10
Jordan was fabulous and super knowledgeable!
I Look forward to my regularly scheduled cut every other month!Megan is a pro at hiding my aging flaws (thinning and fine grey hair) and giving me a stylish easy care cut! And my young adult kids come back to town to get haircuts at HairSmith and Co.
I loved my appointment with Jordan today! Jordan helped tame my curls and walked me through a curl care routine.
I had a fantastic curly haircut with Jordan. She taught me a lot about how to make my hair suit me, and I really thought I knew how to care for my hair to begin with. As a curly girl, there have been very few times in my life that I left a salon without the need to immediately “fix it.” This was one of those times.…
Bad cut and color was not what I wanted
Can’t recommend Jordan. Put money before client and also sent a text telling me to find another salon which was very unprofessional. Jordan lectured about expensive products I should be using that I told her I couldn’t afford and what I was doing wrong. This included a scolding about costing her time and money when…
I asked for classic curtain bangs and long layers for a haircut. I was not happy with how my bangs were cut and left unsatisfied the stylist did even try to rectify that I did not like my haircut.
Employees are absolute sweet hearts, and sociable!! They’re great listeners, and easy to communicate with. Update : If you love your hair and you’re looking into gettin bangs save yourself and don’t get it, no offense to my hair stylist, dresser, idk whatever they call it but I’ve been bawling my eyes out all day
HairSmith and Co is exactly what a salon should be. Zooey is a master at their craft and incredibly personable and charming to talk to. As a man with long, European curly hair, it has not always been easy for me to find stylists who know how to cut the kind of hair I have, much less educate me on taking care of it.…
I am so happy that I found Caroline and Hair Smith and Co! I recently moved to the Charlottesville area and found her work on her hair Instagram page. I absolutely love my hair! It’s exactly what I want. I naturally have very dark hair and she toned the balayage I already had and added in some highlights and lowlights and a root smudge and it’s perfect!!
I just got a haircut with Skye and I am completely blown away. I’m in my 30s and this was the best haircut experience I’ve ever had! First, the place is SUPER cute - aesthetically so pleasant and beautiful inside! Second, Skye was a gem! She was a pleasure to talk too, absolutely beautiful inside and out and took so…
Zooey is amazing and super sweet, they’re great working with you to figure out what’s going to work for your hair, even helping me try out new things. I’ve gotten hair cuts and colors I’m happy with every time !
HairSmith and Co. is fantastic! Zooey is an artist, not only did she give me a fabulous haircut, but she's so much fun to talk to. Can't recommend HairSmith and Co enough!
Hair is INCHES from being even.
Caroline did a fantastic job in turning my brown grey hair into a natural sun kissed blonde. Thank you!
I hadn't had a haircut in a few months and my curly hair (3A-3B) was in dire need of revitalization. Timo did a fantastic dry cut (helpful to understand each curl), then washed and styled my hair with all kinds of fun products. The salon itself is spacious with plants interspersed throughout the space. The dry cut…
