Frederick is the best because he is kind and patient and really takes his time to collaborate with you throughout the process so that you can feel comfortable and confident in your hair. He is happy to share his knowledge with you to empower you to take care of your hair in between cuts. My hair always looks fantastic after seeing him, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!


Oct 06, 2024

Many years ago I went to Frederick for my hair and he never gave me a bad haircut or a color that I didn't love. For various reasons, I hadn't been to Frederick for many years. I am so glad to be back. I just had the best color job I've had in probably 25 years. As my daughter put it, he made me look so much younger. I could not be happier. He is worth every penny. If you want to feel good about how you look, go to Frederick.

Where do I start?! From the ease in scheduling, to our in-chair consultation, then LOVING the results of my hair…Frederick is so talented, incredibly kind and thoughtful, very professional, and fun! Delighted to have found a wonderful new stylist! Excellent location with plenty of parking.

Wonderful experience every time. Frederick is so knowledgeable and skilled. Really good with natural hair.


Sep 06, 2024

Frederick Ayers' salon is incredible. I came in hoping for a better cut for my fine hair. I got a fabulous cut and instructions about styling and maintaining it. Frederick listens and answers any questions you may have. He never tries to sell you on expensive services or products. Instead, he focuses on the customer and the customer's wants and needs. I highly recommend him.


Sep 06, 2024

I had such a great experience with Frederick’s curly cut service. My hair turned out amazing and I left feeling more confident and more knowledgeable about my hair and how to care for it! Definitely will be returning.


Sep 06, 2024

I'm new to the area and badly needed a great haircut. Discovered Frederick on the internet and totally lucked out. Frederick took the time to learn about my needs and my hair. He gave me a fabulous haircut with the style I wanted. He also suggested products to keep my hair from frizzing out with the humidity here. I'll be back. He's also super patient and a nice guy


Aug 06, 2024

This was my first cut by Frederic Ayers. My 'signature' is a very metro bob. He took the time necessary and gave me a perfect cut. I'll be a regular.


Jul 06, 2024

I loved my experience with Fredrick he and his space is so welcoming & it is so beautiful on the inside! I've seen Fredrick for many years for my hair needs, makeup and just recently my wedding and floral arrangements. He absolutely transforms my hair but he is truly a Jack of all trades. My hair is the best it's ever looked & I’m finally 100% “natural” (something I never thought I’d ever do) . He is absolutely the best 100/10 would recommend him !!!


Apr 06, 2024

As always Frederick is the best! I don’t trust anyone else with highlighting my hair.


Apr 06, 2024

Frederick is amazingly talented and inspirational! He truly cares about me as a client in addition to the health of my hair. I experienced more than just an appointment for hair care. There was positive vibes, encouraging dialogue, and a zenful aura…all the while, my hair & scalp were being treated resulting in large, soft wispy curls and layers that effortlessly bounce when simply walking. Book with Frederick and you will have healthy hair and so much more!


Apr 06, 2024

Frederick is an EXCELLENT stylist who cares about you, your opinion and your hair. For blondes such as myself, you can’t go wrong. He works in a relaxed calm space. Highly recommend.


Apr 06, 2024

Frederick is so good at what he does and he’s always a good time! We start each appointment talking about my hair questions and working together on the best way to achieve the look I want. He really goes the extra mile to make sure I am comfortable and he explains what he’s doing with my hair. He’s kind and gentle, and his knowledge of hair care really shines. I always walk away looking and feeling my best. It’s not just an appointment with Frederick - it’s an experience. Book him!


Apr 06, 2024

I had such an amazing experience at Frederick's salon! I came in because my hair was uneven and I wanted to cut it. Before we got started, Frederick spoke with me to get a sense of my usual hair routine and hair goals. He was patient, friendly, and understanding. Once we got started, it turns out we didn't have to cut off as much as I thought to give it a better shape, which was great news. It's so refreshing to have someone in this area who can cut and style natural hair. I went to the salon open to coloring my hair but my mind wasn't fully made up. After talking to Frederick, we decided to go for it and I'm so glad we did! We dyed my hair blonde and Frederick was careful about making sure we found a shade that wouldn't irritate my scalp from having to bleach it too long. After I left, Frederick sent me a list of products to get as well as clear instructions for maintenance in between appointments. I walked away happy with how my hair looked and feeling like I know how to take better care of it. Thank you again Frederick and I can't wait to come back!


Mar 06, 2024

Frederick is great! He spends a ton of time asking questions to truly understand what I am looking for. He has a great personality and is fun to chat with throughout the service. He does a great job and I very time I have gone to him, I came out happy that he actually listened to how I like my hair to be. He seems really dedicated to his work, as well as his new business and it’ll be exciting to see how his hard work pays off!


Mar 06, 2024

Frederick is more than a hairdresser. He is a hair educator! And as someone who has struggled finding the right “routine” I left my first appointment will new techniques and a product list to get me started! Would totally recommend him. Beautiful location and gives a lot of himself personally during an already long hair appointment. Five ⭐️


Mar 06, 2024

I was very pleased with my color and style. I had a great experience with Frederick. I truly recommend him.


Feb 06, 2024

For me, Frederick offers the perfect combination of styling, barber skills, and a positive experience. His skills are elevated and the result is a step up in quality, which i feel is often difficult to find for men. Fun person, great communicator, highly recommend!


Feb 06, 2024

Frederick Is awesome! The best color and haircut I have ever had!


Feb 06, 2024

Frederick gave me a wonderful short haircut that I love - even my mom only had compliments!


Feb 06, 2024

Frederick has been cutting/styling my hair since 2019. I am someone who meticulously researches my hairstylists. When I find one I like, I stick with them. In this scenario, I LOVE Frederick's work. He listens, he cares, he takes his time to make my cut exceptional each time. While extraordinarily professional, Frederick has also taken the time to learn about me and always takes an interest in my life. I truly could not ask for a better stylist.


Feb 06, 2024

Frederick has cut my hair for years; I've NEVER had a bad haircut nor a bad experience. He is so skilled and creative, and he listens with unusual care. He cares about his work. Oh, I should add that it isn't Frederick's fault that I don't routinely comb my hair.


Feb 06, 2024

Frederick is a gem of a human being and stylist! He took my curl and color game to a new level, all while making me feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. I’m sad he is no longer in the DMV full time, but he is worth the ride to Charlottesville!


Feb 06, 2024

Frederick is fabulous! He has been my stylist for over 10 years. He really listens to what the client wants and creates a work of art every time.


Feb 06, 2024

Frederick is the best hairstylist I’ve ever had. Period. Not only is he a master at cutting, coloring and styling my kinky curly hair, the experience with him is so personal and attentive. He doesn’t rush, he takes his time to understand exactly what I want for my hair and how it will fit into my life and lifestyle. I feel so beautiful every time I leave his shop. I am so grateful to know Frederick. He is truly a gift not only as a stylist but also as a person. Highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for the complete hair experience.


Feb 06, 2024

Frederick is the best stylist I have ever gone to. Not only can he give an amazing (and I truly mean amazing) cut, but his knowledge of hair is unmatched to any person in the area. Moreover, going to him is an experience in itself. It is not just about quickly getting your hair cut and leaving; but, it is an experience in which you lose track of time and connect with another human. I simply can not put any more words into this review other than to encourage you to go to him and let him work his magic on your hair.


Feb 06, 2024

Fredrick is the kind of hair stylist you dream of. He is not only a master of his craft but really listens to what his clients and together beautiful hair emerges. An appointment with Frederick is more than just a hair cut/color, it’s a co-creation session where the best you walks out of the salon.


Feb 06, 2024

Great hair experience from start to finish with Frederick. Once I sat in his chair, we talked about my hair in detail. Before he did anything, he wanted to know about my hair routine, good, bad and ugly. Throughout his process, he informed me of what he was doing and why. This made me feel comfortable but also allowed me to understand his work. In the end, I left feeling like I had made the right choice. I look forward to seeing him again. Definitely worth it! P.S. The picture shows my curls definition.


Feb 06, 2024

He did such an amazing job with my hair!!. I’ve really long and curly hair, and I was so grateful for his care and patience!


Feb 06, 2024

I always look forward to going in and feel great coming out. I can’t imagine going to anyone else.


Feb 06, 2024

I discovered Frederick just a few months ago, and I wholeheartedly recommend him. During the time I've been his client, I've come to genuinely appreciate his dedication to delivering high-quality results. Frederick is not only a skilled stylist but also radiates positivity and friendliness. He genuinely cares about making you happy with your hair, and he excels at it.


Feb 06, 2024

I have been going to see Frederick for a little over 3 years now, and I can confidently say he is the best hair stylist I have ever had!!! Going to see Frederick is more than just getting your hair done; he provides you with an experience. Frederick takes great care in his passion and makes you feel so comfortable during your visit. I oftentimes walk in giving him a general idea of what I want and he executes a vision every single time. Frederick's talent and customer service is definitely worth the visit. I leave feeling beautiful and refreshed every single time.


Feb 06, 2024

I have never met a stylist who listens so carefully to what their client wants and then delivers exactly what was discussed. From the initial consultation to the final styling, Frederick is supportive, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. His years of experience are evident in every step of the process, from the precision of his cuts to the way he delicately worked with my hair. Frederick truly has a gift for styling and a talent that is unparalleled. I always leave his salon feeling like a new person, with hair that looks and feel amazing. If you're looking for a stylist who cares deeply about their clients, has an eye for detail and is incredibly talented at what they do, then look no further than Frederick Ayers. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for beautiful, stylish and healthy hair. Thank you Frederick for everything!


Feb 06, 2024

I've been partnering with Frederick for many years to tackle getting an awesome haircut that meets my needs. I got a full head of hair that'll get those waves and a bit out of control. If I want to keep it long, he makes the wave work for me. If I want it short he makes my hair look awesome without the wave. I mean this with the highest praise, I thought initially it would be silly to "not just get a cheap haircut" and Frederick proved with his skill and care how much of a folly it was for me not to utilize his services earlier.


Feb 06, 2024

I’m not over-exaggerating when I say Fredrick Ayers is a godsend. After a box dye-related hair accident, I found myself scrambling to find someone to save my hair so I could show my face in public again. In came Fredrick to the rescue. I was not just struck by the amazing customer service during my appointment but before my appointment when Fredrick messaged me to ask about what needed to be done. On the day of the appointment, I arrived to find a girl profusely thanking Fredrick for saving her hair - I knew I had come to the right place. Upon seeing me, Fredrick immediately understood the brief. As a brown woman, I am always hesitant to go to hairdressers as I feel like they do not understand how to work with the texture of my hair or understand what matches my skin tone. But Fredrick got it, he set about working his magic by mixing the perfect combination to match my skin tone. He was careful to only apply the best products that suited my hair type. When he washed the dye out of my hair I was FLOORED even though I had opted for single processing, it somehow looked like I had gotten balayage done on my hair. This affirmed my faith that this guy is a true hair magician! I want to add not only is he great with hair he’s also a lovely person. Time flew by whilst I was getting my hair done in conversation with him. His salon is very quaint and it really feels like you are getting the most personalized luxury experience. After washing out the hair dye, he gave me the most beautiful blow-dry! I am unashamed to say I might have prolonged its effects by not showering for a few days LOL! Overall I had a 10/10 experience. If there were more stars available, I would give them to him!


Feb 06, 2024

Quite possibly the best haircut I've ever had. Frederick is a true pro. He walked me through what he was thinking to do and we were able to brainstorm styles together... and he perfectly executed the vision! Not to mention we had wonderful conversations throughout the whole time. Truly an enjoyable experience and I10/10 recommend.
