I am always pleased with my time at Shear Design. Ultimate professionals from the reception desk, the shampoo people & the hair stylists. And during the pandemic the owner has made everyone feel safe & stay healthy.

By Shear Design Hair Studio and Spa provides hair cuts, color, nail and skin care services for men and women. The interior space is bright and colorful and the staff is warm and welcoming.Over the years, Ive been to several hair salons in Burke, McLean, and Springfield, but was never quite satisfied with the cut, color, or highlights I received. The last colorist I went to burned hair off the top and side of my head and that experience kept me away from hair salons for eight years. Tired of cutting my own hair with less than stellar results, I researched neighborhood hair salons and decided to make an appointment for a hair cut at By Shear Design.When I arrived, I was cordially greeted by the receptionist, Caitlin, who promptly notified my hair stylist, Karen, of my arrival. In addition to scheduling my appointment, Caitlin also added time for a consultation with Karen so I could describe my hair to ensure we were on the same page. I wore my hair in the style it was in every day to let Karen know what it looked like dry and how I dried it. I told her how my hair had been burned, characterized its texture, its health, and how much it frizzed depending upon the daily humidity. I talked about how much effort I put into styling my hair each day. I also brought pictures of myself with two different hair styles to ensure that the vision in my head matched the vision in Karens head.My hair was shampooed and conditioned and then Karen worked her magic. I have naturally curly/wavy thinning hair and prefer to air dry it. Karen cut it in layers to give my hair more volume and let my curls frame my face. She put a light gel on it, gently scrunched my hair and I was done.Im delighted with my hair and have received several compliments on it. Karen did a superb job of suiting my new hair style to my personal needs and not flash-in-the-pan trends. I highly recommend Karen for her highest quality hair styling skills and By Shear Design for its excellent customer service. I plan on being a loyal customer for years to come.
