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!🤩
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…
jordan is never in a rush nor does she ever make me feel like an inconvenience. she is helping me to figure out how to go grey without roots and if I don't like it I can go back to my "should-have-been-a-redhead" color.. bonus points for knowing how to cut curly hair! Not everyone can cut curly hairs. In my books, Jordan is a star
I had an appointment for braids for over a month. When I arrived they told me no one braided. Failure to supply Services
Timo’s curly cuts are amazing!!!
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!
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…
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.
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.
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!
Maddie is the best! She expertise on color, style and cuts is beyond extraordinary!
Timo is very skilled, knowledgable, loves to teach about products/styling, and is fashionable in the coolest of ways. Truly an artist! Salon itself is tucked up in the treetops and makes it feel like a get-away in the middle of town.
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!
I always look forward to my appointments! Everybody there is super cool and easy going, yet very professional when it comes to their processes. Timo knows my hair better than I do! She’s really helped me find my true look. I don’t really want to recommend these folks too much because I already have to plan well ahead to get in there! Love these folks!
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.
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.
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!
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!
Really great and welcoming people
Willow rocks! She still rocks!
Katya is an artist and a beautiful human!!
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!
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.
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:)
HairSmith is awesome. Very talented staff that listens well to help you achieve the style you are going for.
Timo is the best! My wavy/curly combo hair, after years of frizz and me trying to figure out how to style it, has never looked so good. :)
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!
Amazing service as always.
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.
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…
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!
Always a pleasure to visit Hairsmith. It's such a pretty space with lots of light, plants and cute furnishings. I go for their curl expertise, but there's a diverse array of stylists all doing great work. They manage to maintain a balance between excellence and a relaxed vibe. Highly recommend!
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.
Megan and the Hairsmith staff always make me feel welcomed and appreciated. Great shop and fantastic service.
Depth of knowledge and willingness to listen to clients makes this place worth the trip. If you are a curly hair gal, Timo is the stylist to see!
Lucette is amazing! I get exactly what I ask for, and she's so friendly. Really knows what she's doing.
Phenomenal stylists and good humans
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!
Another perfect cut and color!
Chris always does an incredible job. I’m a huge fan and have been a client for years.
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
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!
Ashley is an amazing stylist who takes time to understand your hair and goals before providing an exceptional cut!
Can’t recommend Chris enough. Very fun to talk to and knows how to cut and color very well! I have dark hair which he always seamlessly blends into beautiful blonde full highlights. People seem to think it’s natural which is always a great sign. Also, HS&Co. has a really cozy feel inside and it’s quiet and relaxing.
First time in my life that I left a salon with my curls looking this good. If your hair needs a refresh and you’d like a Master Class on how to take care of your curls, this is the spot — Jordan was fantastic! I also loved that she wasn’t trying to sell me products the whole time; she was teaching foundational…
Timo truly knows curls!! I don’t let anyone else touch my hair. Service is also very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable.
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…
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 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 !
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…
Timo does a FABULOUS job! I have been so pleased with how my hair turns out after each service. I also appreciate the initial consultation process of what look I want to achieve. From start to finish- I would highly recommend Timo. She also gives the best blow outs! The space is super clean, welcoming and beautiful! 10/10!
