I have found my new stylist! So I got my hair done by Teresa and a half ago and it looks great but it just wasn't me. I was happy with overall the job she did but the color was a little to light. But the overall job was solid. I shared that and she was like come back and I will fix it. So I made an appointment totally expecting to pay for it. She was like uhm the color is free. I was like "say what". She did a great job this is more me, and I really think I am done trying to put color in my hair. She was very happy I gave her the chance to fix it. That to me meant a lot. Most stylists get tuddy when you point out things. Not Teresa she was like ok let me fix it, and she did just that. This is for sure my new salon! She cut it even too, it's a little shorter than I expected. However it will grow back faster that way, plus it's even:) I plan on returning to her to keep my hair right and tight. Per usual the service is always really good, and I enjoy talking to her. Stylists are counselors and don't even realize it lol. My daughter will be visiting soon and I will add pics! read more

I talked to Teresa and I feel so much better. She is an amazing stylist and is trying to grow her business. To be clear, Teresa didn't do my hair. I wish she did. I'm seriously considering have her do my hair soon. She was was honest, transparent, and warm -- everything I look for in a stylist. I was very impressed with her. read more

1208 Beauty Bar - My hair 30 min after her "silk press" - Hair Salons Near Me - Laurel , Maryland

See all

Scheduling: I called to schedule a shampoo and blow out. The receptionist informed me that appointments could only be scheduled online. The online scheduler on their website requires payment of more than 70% of the total cost of services upfront. I've never had to do that at any of the other salons I've been to but I paid it nevertheless. Checking in: I showed up five minutes before the scheduled appointment at 11am. However, the doors were still locked. I called and no one answered the phone. I waited around for a few minutes and lo and behold someone finally emerged to unlock the door. No greeting. No smile. Nothing. I signed in on the sign in sheet and the stylist proceeded to point at where she wanted me to sit. Process: The stylist shampooed and detangled my hair using way more detangler/styling products than my hair required. She then proceeded to get it bone dry without using a round brush. The result was a puffy mess with my hair sticking out in various directions. I was so shocked. I'm a person of color with wavy/curly hair so I don't have expect much when I go to a salon that caters to "white"/straight hair. However, they usually far exceed my expectations. On the other hand, THIS salon advertises itself as a place for people of color and claims to know how to deal with all hair types. Yet, the stylist had absolutely no idea how to even use a blow dryer. I don't say this a lot (if at all) but I could even done a better job than this lady. I left this place in tears. I've never left a salon feeling so embarrassed and ashamed. I now have to spend more time and effort to fix my hair myself. read more

So this review is WELL overdue! Teresa is amazing! Been a faithful client of hers for almost five years! She has never failed at any style I've asked for ( short cuts and colors). I entrusted her with my hair care and with both of my daughters. Come see and experience her professionalism and you won't be disappointed! read more

The attached pictures is of what I asked for vs what I got...NAILED IT!!! My puppy not to happy tho. read more

I wanted a fresh new hair style and I decided to look on yelp for a place that would help me. This was the first one that popped up and was 5 minutes from my apartment. I sent Teresa a messenge and she respond back within minutes. She was able to fit me in the next day at 730AM. I did not know the shop opened later and this time was too early. I got there and she had another client I felt bad, but she made it work out. I loved my hair cut, it made me look my age and plenty of people complimented me on it. I will be making another appointment here. read more

Where do I begin!!! Sooo, I was ecstatic to find a BLACK owned salon close to me that I could walk there if wanted to (I'm sure I'd have to Uber home so as not to wreck my style sweating and what not walking back home! LOL). I first emailed Teresa the owner and she informed me that for the style I wanted (crotchet) India is the stylist that does them. I was on my way home from work one day and decided to stop in and as luck would have it, met India. Told her what I wanted done and she assured me no problem. I made an appointment and today got my hair done. India was awesome!! She started out by checking my scalp for any scratches or abrasions, asking did I have any allergies and asking me what was my plan for my hair, what are you trying to achieve? Wow! I'd never been asked that and it made me think, what do I want for my hair.. still thinking... After shampooing and conditioning my hair we got to work. The way she blow dried my hair was meticulous and I could really see my length!! She then braided me down and got to crotcheting my faux locs in for me. All the while double checking how I was feeling and how did I want to wear my style. When I tell you my protective crotchet style is (check my pic...)!! I'm going to have her silk press me when I get the nerve to manage it LOL! Thank you India and I will be back!! read more

I haven't had my natural hair straightened in a few years. Teresa was very professional and made me feel really comfortable. I was satisfied with her work read more

Came here on a 911 situation New Year's Eve day. I had some threads pop on a brand new weave. Being from out of town I had to cold call around over and over looking for someone to help me. I kept getting denied because no one wanted to "work on other people's work" last minute, and on a holiday at that. But at last I found this place & they agreed to do it. On arrival I was seen almost immediately and the stylist made quick work of repairing my weave. It was a cute & clean salon I will definitely try this place out again when I need hair help in Laurel. read more

I am new to laurel and many of the hair places around here I've noticed are expensive for full weaves so I did some research and some yelp review reading and came across 1208 Beauty Bar and tried there for the first time. I am very impressed with how Teresa (my hair stylist) put in my full weave with a lace closure. I brought my own hair and paid 175 in total. I loved how she bleached my closure to make the lace part look more transparent. She also put a net on my head before weaving my hair in which helps prevent unneeded hair lost. I loved how Teresa educated me about hair and was very nice as well as professional. I did have to wait over an hour and a half for my appointment even though I scheduled in advance which I didn't care for but other then that, I will be returning! I left some close ups of my closure so you all can see how they do! read more

Got a Brazilian blowout. It was awesome. Also, have had highlights and roots done. All excellent! read more

My service was amazing. I called Monday morning about 1030, I was able to be seen at 12 for a silk press and trim for $95. I notice the prices on 1209 beauty bar and Annointed Touch don't match so be careful with that. Overall she was professional and dealt with my natural hair very well (didn't overpress or burn the hair). Definitely recommend and will be back!!! read more

Teresa was prompt and professional in her work. She did a great job with my girls hair.

So, I have trust issues when it comes to trying new people with my hair, but this was an emergency situation! I had done 6 months worth of damage to my hair during this pandemic (pre, during and post braids), my regular stylist wasn't available and I needed H-E-L-P! After searching the internet and reading reviews, I made the decision to reach out to Theresa at 1208 Beauty Bar. She responded to my internet inquiry right away, invited me to make an appointment for the next day and even recommended a service. When I tell you that contacting her was the best decision that I could have made that day... it is NOT an exaggeration! She was pleasant and super knowledgeable about what we needed to do in order to reverse what I had done to my hair. She gave me an treatment and an amazing cut (but didn't go scissor happy) and I walked away looking human! And feeling like a had a whole new HEALTHY head of hair! I would ABSOLUTELY return to this stylist, and will recommend her to others. Thanks, Theresa! read more

Came here last second- thank God they were able to take me and my daughter- as we needed hair done for my wedding the next day. This was a very welcoming salon with skilled stylists. I loved that this is a full service salon, great energy and music. And me and my daughter looked amazing! Thank you lovely ladies! read more

I love that Theresa is professional and experienced in hair. Very nice and accommodating. I went in there with half natural hair and half relaxed hair it was a jagged mess. Broken of in front and the back. She created a fierce pixie cut for me that I could slay in. She can cut some hair! Thank you read more

For my first experience here , all went well . Teresa is attentive and didn't mind making all that was being done clear to me , including cost , products used etc . .. I'll definitely return , and I do reccomend giving her a try . read more

I am all natural and never wear my hair straight, but I was in desperate need of a good trim. I heard about Teresa through a family friend and I was completely satisfied with her services! Teresa is talented, professional, and makes you feel extremely welcome. She had no one else scheduled for my time slot (something very hard to find!!) which made me extremely happy. She took care of my natural hair and gave me a trim, leaving my hair looking sleek and healthy. I would HIGHLY recommend this salon for any of your hair needs. I will be back! Thank you, Teresa!!!! read more

We were late because we went to the former location, Teresa was patient and polite. She still accepted us being late and didn't rush through it. We switched services last min from a virgin relaxer to a Brazilian blowout. The results are beautiful. What a great experience. The trip from Pennsylvania was well worth it! My daughters hair is mixed, not too many salons can do her hair and this woman SLAYED it! My daughter couldn't be happier! read more

I was in a bind being that I needed to get my hair done and most salons are closed on Monday. 1208 Beauty Bar is not closed on Mondays plus since they also had great reviews on Yelp I decided to try them. It was 6pm and Teresa was fine with me coming to get my hair done. I was so grateful! Teresa is so nice and we had great conversation. She gave me a great hair massage and I loved the shampoo she used. I had a silk press done and loved the way my hair came out! I will definitely be going back to Teresa. read more

This was my first time visiting this salon and it won't be my last. I went for a silk press and Teresa did an awesome job on my hair. I felt like she cared about my hair and me. I love the fact that she allows enough time for each appointment...there was no wait! I highly recommend this salon. read more

Teresa Slayedddd my hair cut squeezed me in for a last minute appointment and brought my hair back to life! I highly recommend her!

I really enjoyed this salon! My hair looks fiercer than it ever has in a long time. I will be back.

I found this gem via yelp thanks to reviews! I messaged Teresa about getting my hair done and she responded within an hour, maybe even 30 mins! So boom, we set an appointment for 2:30pm. I arrived and Teresa has excellent customer service! She kept the conversation going the whole time, meaning there was so silence or awkwardness. She has great conversation. She also helped me decide between perm rods or flexis. She gave great advice on what complimented my hair better and of course I took it. She just works efficiently and her time is well managed. The salon is nicely decorated and set up. She's open by appointment only. Fast forward, I sat under the drying for my flexis which didn't take long. She also accommodated me; my back was hurting due to pregnancy and she provided me with a pillow. My flexis came out SO Beautiful!!! And the key part is they were HARD! They were soft curls, full and did I say beautiful? I told her she definitely gained a customer! I will be back and recommend anyone in the area I know to come to her! I got so many compliments today in my hair:) thanks Teresa!!! read more

I am very particular about who does my hair because of it's hard to describe texture- (very fine, but looks bigger than it is.) Teresa took the time with me over the phone to do a consultation which put me at ease and begin building rapport before even arriving. Upon arrival, the salon is cozy and clean. She is warm and inviting and listens to you while offering her expert advice. Many times in the past I've felt like the stylist doesn't take into consideration that I'll have to go home and they won't be there to help, but she understood that. Teresa is engaging and her demeanor puts you at ease quickly. The energy in the salon is comforting and the clientele is friendly as well. Staff is knowledgeable, engaging, and funny without being distasteful or leaving their clients to listen while they talk amongst themselves as I've experienced in other salons; I don't think I've ever giggled so much in public and that says a lot as I'm an introvert. After all was over - my hair is amazing! It was exactly the way I asked her to mimic in a picture I presented to her. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

So happy with my hair. I've been natural for over five years, and it's been that long since I had my hair professionally straightened and cut. I made an appointment with Teresa, based on reviews; and I was not disappointed. She's kind, she's timely, she's personable, and she was so good for my hair. I made an appointment before my afternoon shift, and she took really good care of me, and got me out and off to work earlier than expected. 1208 Beauty Bar is bright, clean, and well kept. You can' t go wrong with Teresa. read more

This place is absolutely the bomb!!! The owner did my hair and she did a really good job. I went in thinking, man I hope my hair turns out right and then she exceeded my expectations. I'm natural 4c hair and she press my hair out like no other. It was silky and flowing and also had body for days. That was the first time I had my hair pressed out and my husband loved it. She gave me tips on how to grow my hair and was delicate with my hair. She trimmed my hair like I ask and I left happy. This was my first time coming to her and she is now my stylist forever! read more

I forgot to do this post on the day of service, but she did a great job with my trim (which actually turned into a cut). My hair was badly damaged in the back but I wanted to keep some length. She explained & showed me why I should go ahead & cut off all of the damaged hair & I felt comfortable with that. She cut it in a nice layered bob that turned out to be very cute. I'll definitely go back! read more
