I had my first appointment with Amia on 8/14, and after years of searching for a salon home in the DMV area that consistently delivers a full‑circle, professional experience, I'll admit I walked in a bit skeptical. That changed quickly.
Parking was easy, which already eased my mind, and the moment I stepped inside I was greeted warmly with a smile and a professional demeanor. After a smooth intake process, I was seated, and within minutes my stylist joined me for a thoughtful consultation. Shortly after, I was at the wash bowl enjoying an amazing shampoo scrub.
My appointment was at 12, and I was walking out in an appropriate amount of time based on my services. I am HAPPY and genuinely satisfied with the service, the atmosphere, and the price. I was also extremely relieved that I was not double‑booked. Having to wait while someone else is serviced during my appointment is a major pet peeve and a deal breaker for me, so the fact that my time was respected meant a lot. This was my first visit, and I'm already looking forward to my next one. My fingers are crossed that the professionalism and welcoming environment I experienced that day are part of their organizational culture, because it made all the difference. read more
