PR at Partners - Shirlington

Willie is amazing! My hair has never looked better, and I get so many compliments thanks to his incredible styling skills. He’s truly knowledgeable and knows exactly how to cut and shape hair to flatter your face. The front desk team is always helpful and courteous as well—especially Amaya, who consistently makes check-ins and scheduling a breeze. My only critique is the atmosphere. The salon feels a bit too sterile lately; the harsh lighting and newly emptied white walls have taken away the warm, bustling vibe my family used to love. A little more personality in the space would go a long way. Overall, the service and talent are top-notch, and Willie keeps my family and I coming back!

Andre is amazing. He has been doing my hair for years as well as dozens and dozens of my friends and patients' hair (I send everyone to him, and ending has been so happy). Not only has he cut my hair for years but he has styled my hair for events many times both at the salon and on location. He even saved my wedding photos by helping fix my bridesmaids very bad yellow highlights on black hair. He is truly a magician and goes above and beyond for his clients. Frankly he under charges for his skill level. He also makes appointments fun, and is like I'm catching up with an old friend. I also know many other stylists in the skin like Marlene and Robyn, and you are in good hands with everyone.

I usually go to the PR at Partners Old Town Alexandria location, but I booked an appointment in Shirlington due to the availability of my regular stylist. I've had haircuts from a few different people at this location, and they've been fine but not what I'd consider worth the price. Unfortunately, my experience this week was the same: I asked for a shag haircut and provided photo examples. I said that I prefer my hair messy and undone and I like to take time to style. During the appointment, the stylist was not particularly diplomatic about saying that I shouldn't color my own hair (I don't have the budget for repeated color appointments) or use hot tools. I did mention that I was looking in to getting my hair professionally done in a way to incorporate grays and she said there isn’t a way

Kylie is knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly talented. She gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had, 10/10 recommend. I have very curly hair and she did an amazing job with it.

★★★★★ Andre is hands-down the BEST hairstylist and colorist! I’ve been loyal to Andre for over 10 years (through every hair phase, life change, and questionable trend I’ve thrown at him), and I can honestly say no one else will ever touch my hair. His color work is pure magic—every single time I leave his chair I get stopped by strangers asking who does my hair. The dimension, the tone, the way it grows out flawlessly… it’s art. He just GETS it. I moved to Richmond five years ago and I still happily make the 2-hour + trip drive up to Shirlington because I refuse to let anyone else near my color. That’s how much I trust him. Actually, “trust” doesn’t even cover it—Andre is the only human I allow to have full creative control over my head and I’ve never once regretted it. Andre is hilarious
