Noora E.

Can I give this company no stars?? Because this is absolutely the worst hair I have ever came across in my entire life! I made a review because the owner asked me to so being polite I did! BUT LET ME TELL YOO ABOUT THIS PERUVIAN DEEP WAVE HAIR! I bought three bundles in April.. wore it for 3 weeks and it turned into a matted dread lock! I mean literally there was no saving the hair or detangling it it was absolutely destroyed my hairstylist could not even detangler it for me. So moving forward I really loved how the hair blended with my natural curly hair but the actual quality of it seems like it's mixed with a horse hair or something because I have never in my entire life experiences with any type of hair. But because I loved how it blended with my hair so much I decided to give it another chance thinking that maybe possibly I just didn't take care of the hair the right way. So I came back, bought another three bundles and told them about my experience and he told me oh did you try to put silicone mix in it... Sir I did everything I could possibly freaking do to this hair!!! So I bought another three and here I am writing this review again three weeks later and my hair is matted up once again and it is almost impossible to remove these tangles, I understand that curly hair does get mad it up because clearly I have naturally curly hair but this is absolutely unacceptable and I will never ever give them my business again. They know exactly what they're doing and they know that the quality of their hair is not great a hair. And that's exactly why people stop shopping at essence boutique a long time ago. I don't need any nasty response from the company because you guys know exactly what you're doing when you're selling this hair run for your life this is the worst quality here ever you're better off going on Ali express in finding a cheap vendor because this hair is not worth it. I wasted so much money getting installs and redoing it! Worst experience ever.

I love my hair from Essence Hair Boutique. Hair is so soft and never ever tangles. I will be purchasing more hair in the near future.

I did not have a positive experience at Salon 809. My appointment did not begin at the scheduled…read moretime, and I waited approximately 45 minutes before my service started. When the stylist finally began, her attitude and overall demeanor were noticeably negative, which made the experience uncomfortable. Additionally, the stylist started blow-drying my hair without applying a heat protectant. I had to request that it be used, which should be standard practice. Clients should not have to ask for basic hair care measures. I also found the pricing to be excessive for the level of service provided. Certain treatments, such as deep conditioning, are not included in some services and come at an additional cost. During my appointment, the stylist was whispering and gossiping with another stylist, which felt unprofessional. Overall, the salon appears to charge for many add-ons while not delivering a level of service that justifies the cost. Due to the poor customer service and lack of value, I would not recommend this salon.

Finally made it back!! 5-25-25!! & Today was the Dominican Republic's Mother's Day so Happy…read moreMother's Day to all of you wonderful ladies!! I hope you all enjoy!.. I went today and met Mrs. feor she shampooed my hair and deep conditioned it . The products smelled soooo good!!, the shampoo was so relaxing I was dozing off,til my getting under the heated hair dryer. It wasn't as busy as yesterday Mrs feor told me I'm sure it was more packed when I left. My hair was so softer after my deep condition. Angelica finished out my hair she blow dried it and cornrows and the back straightened. I totally LOOOVEd my hair I plan to return in August for my Mama B day trip! But get added hair

My daughter traveled from Michigan to Maryland to get her hair done by a stylist operating here ("Naughty Locs / Naughty Hair Boutique"). What she experienced was absolutely unacceptable. The stylist took a $200 deposit, repeatedly canceled with excuses, lied about arrival times, and then completely disappeared on the day of the appointment -- leaving my daughter stranded in a city she doesn't know. When we requested a refund, the stylist sent a fake refund screenshot, and Cash App confirmed that no refund was ever issued. The money is gone, and the stylist refuses to correct the situation.

Two years after my "Big Chop", and I'd become anxious to add some color to my hair! Decided to…read more scout some salons, and happened upon Luxe Looks. Luckily, Michelle--the owner, was able to take me the same day! I arrived and was warmly greeted by Michelle herself. She began not long after I arrived, and when she was finished (in record time, I might add!), I was ecstatic! My highlights came out EXACTLY like I wanted! My finished style was bouncy and my hair looked/felt healthy. I'll definitely be back!

I've been in the DC area for about 8 years and struggled the first 3 years to find a stylist with whom I felt comfortable, was a top-notch professional and was respectful of others time. I eventually gave up, opting instead to go back and forth to NYC. It should be obvious that this option was not only expensive but time-consuming. Something had to give. Then, about 2 and half years ago, a friend gave me Luxe Looks card. While she had never visited the salon personally, she swore that anyone walking out always looked fabulous. She found out about Luxe by accident when she complemented and asked several strangers who their hair stylist was; no surprise they all said Luxe and gave her a business card. After a few weeks of debating with myself, I called and made an appointment and have been coming back every since, and that was more than two years ago. I have never been disappointed with the professionalism, service, experience and ultimate class displayed by all of the employees. My hair is healthier, longer and more vibrant. This is a must-try experience.

If we're being honest, good help and good hair is hard to find!…read more Enter Happy Tresses, where I found beautiful hair and an amazing stylist, Charisma, who also happens to be the owner. Charisma has the sweetest spirit, she listens to what you want, is extremely knowledgeable about hair, and I can't say enough about how fair the pricing is. You will be hard-pressed to get a sew-in for under $350 in the DC area, but you can tell Happy Tresses is mindful of the working woman's price-point and standard of quality. I should also add Charisma did the best cornrows I've EVER had in record time. My sew-in laid so flat, the style still looks brand new 5 weeks later--I honestly don't want to take it out, but I digress. I haven't tried the bundles yet (because I already had hair before I made the appointment), but the Brazilian Island Wave and Indian Steamed Curl are right up my alley and next on my list. She also makes some gorgeous/stylish wigs and I think I'm going to have to break down and buy one. Waldorf is a bit of a hike for many, but it has been absolutely worth it. I have a natural hairstylist already but Charisma definitely gained a loyal client for all my weaving needs. Thank you!
