I know I am going to run the risk of losing my alone time with my favorite hair stylist, however I owe the YELP community for all  the on point reviews... 
Let me start with the particulars, I am an Asian female and a self-confessed salon junkie with 20 years of experience of self-dabbling in coloring my own hair and visiting dozens of salons with so called "Master Colorists, Master Stylists", trying to get my hair that perfect hue of blonde color that I envisioned.  My most recent color experience at a local salon turned out to be the worst color frightmare I have had in my 20 years of being an expert salon consumer. Long story short, I had disastrous results that resulted in 4-5 inches of damaged hair, multiple colors with levels of different hair products fighting against each other, and did I mention a sizably reduced bank statement.

Then I went to Mark Bursick of The Falls Salon in Great Falls, VA.   Lucky for me, Mark is always up for a challenge; and equally lucky for me, he excels where all others fail.  Not only did Mark reverse my recent color disaster effortlessly , he was very patient with me and was able to get my hair back to looking beautiful and the color PERFECT in just one visit.  He also cut my hair EXACTLY the way I wanted. This man truly knows what he is doing, many stylists boast that they are 'color experts/masters' but so far, Mark is the only one who lives up to the hype. Mark is truly a MASTER COLORIST/STYLIST. Guess that's what you get when you cross a highly motivated hair artist with a collegiate art major - perfection.

In closing, you cannot go wrong with Mark and his salon. The salon experience is truly fantastical. He, along with his staff, is patient, professional, experienced. Mark is an all around great guy and he genuinely cares.  Kudos Mark, you will always have my sincerest gratitude, and I will continue as a patron for as long as you will have me; even though I pass literally dozens of "master color salons" on my 45 minute journey to your establishment.  Well worth the trip.  Thank you, Mark. I will post pictures of my new do shortly...

FABULOUS experience. My girlfriends and I were warmly welcomed by the Falls staff. We all got our hair and makeup done. The makeup was understated and beautiful. The hair - exactly what we wanted. The prices, friendly service and the talented staff all add up to a salon that can be trusted.

 
THE BEST HAIR ARTISTS: 
You will not believe your hair after Mark brings out your bodacious brunette or blonde, or treats it to take out the frustrating frizz. He is an all-around artist, and their products are superb.
 
Ignorance is NOT bliss!  The best kept secret in town is the pampering I get from Body Bliss at The Falls Salon.  The deep tissue massage at the hands of Julian is the ultimate in tension relief (from stress and too many airports).  The fabulous facial by Rachel brought my skin back to life and hydration.  In fact, my face is smooth as a baby's (well--you know!).   If life's pressures and the weather are chaffing you,  I recommend Julian and Rachel to melt it away.  Take my word, but not MY appointment slot!!!

I just had the Keratin smoothing treatment done on my hair at the Falls Salon.
My hair has been a serious nightmare for me every summer my entire life.
The Washington humidity makes it a fright.
But now my hair is smooth and shiny.  The color even lasts longer.
i have to say that the three day wait to shampoo was a challenge but now
it was worth the trouble.
I'll never let my hair go without that treatment. Thanks guys for recommending
this service. WOW!

If you haven't been to The Falls Salon,
you have truly been missing out. 
I get so many compliments about my hair-the cut
is perfect and so easy to care for.  Mark & Ric
make you feel so special every time you come in.
I love letting everyone know where they should go to
make themselves beautiful!  If you are already
 a customer, I know you agree with my comments.
If you aren't, then you just have to try them - they are wonderful!!!

Mark and Ric have been keeping the Dierker girls beautitful since they
were cheerleaders at Langley.  Maggie, Annie and I all say we love
going because we walk out looking our best and feeling great after
terrific conversations.  We are so appreciative.

I first stepped into The Falls Salon in 2002 after a dear friend
and boss gave me a gift certificate with Mark for Christmas.  They
immediately took me in as I witness they do with all their
clients, and made me feel like a part of their family.  My hair was
in such a state of overprocessing and without delay, Mark took
me in hand and as politely as possible said."I'm going to fix this".
I walked out of there a new woman.  My hair has NEVER looked
healthier or looked better, ever!  People I have known for
years, and ones who haven't seen me for awhile are making 
comments like "your hair looks amazing, who's doing
your hair?"  I am always proud to refer the Falls Salon to anyone
who asks.  The entire staff is friendly and professional.
If you want the best cut, the best color and want to be treated 
with loving care, don't delay, seek out Mark and Ric and the rest
of the staff.

It's wonderful to find a salon that consistantly exceeds expectations.
I like many of their other clients. I am particular in choosing my
doctors, dentists and my haircare professionals.  Mark and Ric are
great listeners and very customer focused.  Their expansive talents
and years of experience can produce amazing results even on difficult
hair.
Their color work is natural, fresh and contemporary.  My husband was
so impressed with my results that now he is one of their loyal
customersas well.  I understand why they are considered the finest
salon in this area.

I have been to some of the best salons in the country including
Manhattan, Boston and even in Paris, France  and the Falls Salon
surpasses all of them. Mark and Ric are absolutely fabulous. 
Not only do they do a fantastic job on coloring and cutting
my hair they are absolutely irresistible.  
The entire services at the salon should not be missed.
You will love it!

You must come visit The Falls Salon.  It will be an
experience of a lifetime.  I know it was for me. 
The first time I walked in I was 20 years old and was
 appliying for my first job in the beauty industry.  I was one
of the best shampoo chicks The Falls Salon ever had! 
 That was only the beginning, the amazing team, 
lead by Ric Wagstaff, taught me everything I needed to
know and my career was off and running.  
I am proud to say, 21 years later, I am still great friends with
both Ric and Mark, and still a big fan of The Falls Salon,
and my Mom is of course still a loyal client.
