I unfortunately had a pretty negative experience at this salon. I have been on a hair health…read morejourney for the last year and a half and have done ample research about protecting and nourishing my natural hair. Upon arrival, Lakeya was very rough with my hair in the wash process, ripping through small knots and swishing my hair around instead of scrubbing and massaging my scalp. The wash was not thorough and I still had buildup in my scalp. She then tried to detangle my hair with little to no product and because she had another client in the middle of a service, she slapped on very minimal conditioner in 4 sections and stuck my under the steamer. I had an inkling that I should derange my own hair to protect it from her harsh hand so I suggested that I would detangle while she finished pressing her client. I asked what conditioner she was using and she pointed to a tub titled "Silicon Mix", I can assure you, the products you use in your wash 100% effect your hair's health and this cheap product was absolutely not adequate to use on anybody wanting healthy hair. I asked to use another product to apply and she allowed it. After I detangled and put conditioner in (most of my hair was dry and had no product at all), she was ready to wash it out, I told her I needed to do a proper steam now that I had conditioner in my hair that needed time to hydrate my hair in the steam (I paid for a Hydration Steam Treatment). She let me steam for 10 min then when it was time to wash, she suggested that she put rubber bands on the ends of my twists to wash so that she "wouldn't have to detangle again" I told her absolutely not.. I was astounded she would even suggest such a harsh and damaging way to wash it.. she rinsed me out and was clearly upset that I had been vocal about my boundaries and requests about handling my hair. I told her I understood that it's hard to get feedback but I'm not letting someone damage my hair that's been through so much. And her strategy and thoughts on hair health were purely outdated and inaccurate. She then blew my hair out ,which was fine. I booked a trim and she was nervous about what I wanted and I told her, I just want whatever damaged and split ends you see to go. I double checked and asked if she saw where the splits were and she said yes and began to trim. She turned my chair so I couldn't see her trimming but I didn't want to offend her any further so I didn't ask her to turn me. After finishing, she put it in French braids and sent me on my way. When I got home and took the braids down, I realized my ends were still dry and brittle and I had splits all throughout my hair. I realized she barely trimmed my ends. I texted her because the sole reason I went was to get a good trim to maintain my hair's health and prevent accumulated damage. I sent her a photo of one obvious split and told her that I was very disappointed that my hair wasn't properly trimmed and she said that she was afraid to cut more because of my previous requests but I told her that a good trim is purposely to get rid of splits that can travel up the hair shaft and cause awful breakage. Now I have to go get another trim to make sure I don't have splits that continue up the hair shaft. She didn't reply to me and didn't even offer to send back any of the $100 I paid (even though I didn't get any of the services I wanted... a terrible wash, I deranged myself and had to put conditioner to even have an effective steam, and the trim did nothing). It could have been rectified with her offering to fix something but she refused accountability. Stylists need to be open minded to learn how to best care for natural hair. Our hair is fragile and needs hydration and proper care to grow healthy.

I have been looking for a salon for my niece and mom for a very long time. When I found Dream Salon…read moreon yelp and saw all the great reviews I said why not give it a shot. My niece made an appointment for the day before new years. She got a dream will press, we were happy she could fit my niece in for such a short time. The place is difficult to find since it was our first time, but located on the second floor of the parking garage in salon plaza. In the office building with other salons. Keya made my nieces hair soft and manageable, she could not stop taking picture's. We made another appointment for my mother. I was a little worried because my mother's hair was falling out and there was not much to work with, but Keya made it work. She gave us great advice on what to not use and how to properly maintain our hair. We will be coming here from now on. pros: it is located right across the Mall of Prince George's. So many restaurants around Keya is the greatest con: hard to find the place

Claudette's is the most professional, dedicated, and punctual hair braiding salon in the DMV…read more Claudette, the owner, welcoming and warm and she personally handles all appointment scheduling, and she is onsite each day. Her salon is in a great, safe location. It is classy and well-appointed and clean, with comfortable sofas and chairs and vending machines. But most importantly, she doesn't cut corners on hiring the best talent. She has gifted braiders who have been with her for over a decade, and it shows in the magnificent styles they can deliver flawlessly and consistently. I've been going for over 10+ years with my 2 daughters. We are out of the salon in less than 5 hours or less, no matter how intricate our styles are. Our favorites are Fatu and Maya. They love their craft and their customers. I can't recommend Claudette's highly enough. 5-stars

As someone who likes to do a lot of different things to my hair, it's nice to find a real one stop shop. There may be competitors that do things for less but I have found that many hair dressers have a long list of things they will NOT do. For example, I do not understand hair salons that install weaves but insist you walk in with clean and blowdried hair. That is absolutely ridiculous and this is not the case here. You need a press, you get a press. You need a weave, you get a weave. Also, they know how to CUT hair and when they give you a trim it's an actual trim and not something extreme. Kim dyed the scalp of a closure for me in like 3 minutes. As a 30ish year old woman with coarse 4b hair, this is the first time I have ever had my hair blowdried where it did not hurt. That alone is worth the money. Kim and her husband are a great duo.

My first search lead me to the Silver Spring area. It was kinda far for me with my schedule. So I went off to find a new hair dresser. After looking on Yelp I found a place and a recommendation for a lady who does great color. Well my hair is above my butt and full of high lights so I need a good colorist. I came in and immediately fell in love! Josefina was nice, polite and not afraid of my hair. And she took me on the spot. I always come so they can examine my hair but her, nope she was like this is what I do. In love. Closer to home and definitely my go to. Also, important to note that this is a multi cultural salon. You have the barbershop in the front and the salon area in the back. Love it! The barber was nice, said hi and how can I help you as soon as I walked in. My last hair stylist who turned into my bestie was a black American woman. So for me anyone should be able to do all kinds of hair but in the MD area it was hard for me. A stylist is a stylist. I found that most salons were not multicultural which for a mixed girl was kinda hard. Super glad this is multicultural. Love it! Owners were so nice too btw.
