I came here after deciding to get highlights for the first time in a very very very long time (about 10 years). Deana was awesome and made the experience very easy! She looked at my hair, determined what colors would look best with my skin tone, but still had me look through a book and decide for myself what color I wanted. She explained how the bleaching process works and how the highlights may look dark now, but it will get lighter, etc. She’s very knowledgeable, passionate about her work and easy to talk to. This salon is a great spot in Annandale!

After having my hair mangled by a stylist at another salon a friend of mine recommended I go to Erica at Paul Michael’s. I live in VA but go to a lot of charity events in DC. I have a highend stylist in DC who does blowouts for me but does not cut my hair.

Erica gave me a bob that was so perfect that my highend stylist in DC complimented her on it! He asked me who cut my hair and told me she had done a perfect job! It is rare when I highend stylist in DC compliments a stylist in the suburbs but he was right and I’ve gone back to her twice now and have had excellent results.

While the salon itself is in a little strip mall, it really delivers results. Go see Erica and you will be pleased with the results as well.

Wow, a lot of the reviews are all over the place. I usually don’t post reviews as I just use Yelp to have all of you lovely people tell me what’s good, but after my experience at Paul Michael’s, I had to! I’m not sure if there’s been a change in staffing or what, but I had an amazing experience there. I invest a lot of time and care into my hair, so after my stylist left to go back to the west coast a few years ago, I’ve been on a search. I’ve tried about 6 salons (no joke) and while a couple were okay, they never did what I actually wanted them to do. Finally, a friend of mine mentioned this particular place. I drive by it often to visit my folks, but never noticed it there. I called, made an appointment with Deana, and was ready for lucky number 7. I was thrilled! I asked her for an all over color and a cut to compliment my face (round, bleh) and she did an amazing job. She took the time to really talk to me about the color I wanted. I went for a very dark brown/black. It’s really exactly what I wanted. The color hasn’t washed out (which is always the case for me). As for the cut, she trimmed up my layers, and shaped my face really well. I have a ton of hair, so to have it feel lighter without looking like a weird mullet is difficult. It’s perfect. I’m happy that I’ll never have to go to anyone else ever again, yay! I’ve been recommending this place to all my friends, and to whoever is reading this.

I love going here. I am 30 and want a good cut and highlights for a young person. I love Erika or Deanna. They are both great and very friendly and fun. They are usually available too when I have a last minute cut/color to get in. I dont understand the negative reviews. usually people only complain on this website anyway so sometimes you dont get to always see the positive side of things. Def recommend this salon to friends and family!

Great place , found it online I saw Erica, she is so cool, and she did amazing job on my highlights and cut, I will be back for sure!

I have lived in Virginia for 12+ years and this is the first time I was VERY pleased when I walked out. Everyone loves the cut (done by Paul) on me and the color Paul was so sweet and considerate and did a great job! The color looks so natural and goes well with my skin tone.

Paul even had to fix what was done by another stylist form another salon and it still turned out cute!

I finally found a place I can go and not worry about what they are going to do to me! I would say it is well worth the $$$.

Best hairstylist in all of D.C area I travel from Maryland to Virginia just to have my hair done by Paul. Paul gives me the best highlights and the best haircuts , whatever he does ,the condition of my hair always feels great,Paul is amazingly talented, and I love the down to earth feel.
