I'm very picky about who touches my hair, and ever since I found Prime One and Roy and his team,…read moreI've been a true regular. I go at least once a week, and always before I fly out. Roy is the biggest reason. He's so detail-oriented and always gives me the perfect beachwaves. No matter how busy it is, he makes me feel like a priority. Jennifer has washed my hair most often and she's thorough, with a great scalp massage. She even lets me pick how long my blue shampoo sits (yes, I bring my own products, LOL). The rest of the team is just as attentive. The salon is spacious and clean, and the all-Asian team is warm and always does their best for you. I just wish I had taken my Mandarin lessons seriously so I could chat with them properly! Thank you Roy and team for always making me feel like a VIP customer. See you again in a few days!

I booked an appointment for this salon after seeing it recommended on Reddit, and after I read so…read moremany good reviews, I decided to give it a try. I booked a 3:30pm appointment for a root touch up with Roy. I arrived right before 3:30 pm and noticed Roy finishing up a men's haircut. When he saw me, he asked if I was there for a cut or color. I said color, and tried explaining I had an appointment, but was quickly sent off to the back of the salon, at which point I was told to sit in a chair. Roy was taking payment from his last customer and then was taking an Instagram photo of someone who had just gotten hair color/balayage/a blow out (from what I could tell). In the meantime, no one acknowledged me in the back of the salon. As we approached 3:45 pm, I think someone finally realized I was a little irritated to just be sitting there with zero acknowledgement. It wasn't like I was a walk-in; I scheduled this time to be here and showed up promptly. Roy finally walks over and asks what color I want and quotes me a price that was certainly not what I was prepared to spend for that day. I explained I wanted a root touch-up and he said that wouldn't really work out for my hair. He then reduced the original quoted price by $10 so that I would get a single process, full head, rather than just the roots. I agreed to that because I'm already there, and I do want to give this salon a fair shot. While Roy prepared the color in the bowl, they got me ready for the color process. I had a jacket with me on the back of the chair I was sitting in, and it was thrown onto the chair next to me - probably would be nice if they could offer to hang it on a hook somewhere. I was given a cup of water, and then once the color was ready, the color was applied (not by Roy, who I had booked). I sat for the standard 25-30 minutes and that is when someone different came over to wash and dry my hair. The shampoo was great, and thorough. However, I have curly hair, and it is clear to me that they do not know how to work with curly hair here at all. The assistant attempted to dry and shape my curls, but it was really not working out. Anyone with curly hair knows, the more you touch the hair, the frizzier it gets. By the time he was done, my hair was dry enough, but it was a frizzy, poofy mess. So, luxurious salon experience, this was not. I paid for the service and separately tipped the colorist and the assistant who shampooed/dried my hair, even though he truly had no idea what to do with my hair at all. Unless your hair meets their Instagram standard of beauty (straight/slight wavy & long hair) then you're better off finding a salon that actually caters to those with all varieties of hair textures. Edited to address Roy's comments: The jacket thrown onto the chair belonged to me (and was thrown on top of a staff member's jacket on that same chair) and since I wasn't properly acknowledged by staff when being sent to the back, that explains why no one asked to hang my jacket up which I suppose is a courtesy for other customers. I mentioned the courtesy of the price adjustment in my original review, and yes, I did agree to his suggestion and quoted price. That doesn't change the fact that Roy himself did not do the work, despite booking with him.

Great experience here! Got a wash and blowout $35, called an hour before and they took us right…read morewhen we got there. Hair looked amazing. Def recommend

My first experience here was phenomenal. They got very close to the platinum blonde I wanted, and I…read moreleft extremely happy. Because of that, I returned for what was supposed to be a simple root touch-up. Before starting the second appointment, I've received compliments from other hair stylists on how healthy my hair was. I've consistently been told my hair is thin but healthy, and I've worked very hard to maintain it. Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite experience. I was at the salon for over six hours, significantly longer than my first visit. Multiple stylists were working on and checking my hair throughout the process, and I trusted that everything was going smoothly. No one checked in with me to approve the color before beginning to blow dry. When I finally saw the result, it was far from the platinum blonde I requested. Instead, my hair was left an orange-toned blonde. I had gone in for a root retouch, but they dyed my entire head without discussing that with me first. After I expressed concern about the color, I was suddenly told my hair was "very damaged" and breaking easily -- despite having complimented its health before starting. I was then told I needed a keratin treatment in order to proceed. This was not something I requested or agreed to; I was told it was necessary after the damage had already been done. During the wash, I could physically feel excessive pulling, and when I stood up, I saw a significant amount of my hair had fallen out. It was heartbreaking, especially after taking so much care of my hair. They attempted to adjust the tone, and while it became somewhat more acceptable, I ultimately left just blonde -- not the platinum blonde I originally had and specifically asked for. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the distress caused, and no adjustment to the bill. I paid full price for a service I was deeply unhappy with. To make matters worse, I later received a voicemail asking me to return and pay for the keratin treatment -- something I never wanted and was told I "needed" after their mistake. Even in that message, there was no apology. My first experience was wonderful, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, after this visit, I will not be returning

Aleta colors and cuts my very curly hair, which I would only leave in the most capable hands! She's…read moreso knowledgeable, consistent, and is the ONLY stylist who has succeeded in helping me grow it out (instead of always making it look shorter when I leave). Not a day goes by without someone complimenting me on the street, and I can go for long stretches without it losing shape or the color fading. Thank you, Aleta!!

LOLOLOL I gave a 5 star rating to a Supercuts in San Diego and a Hair Cuttery in Gaithersburg,…read moreGigi. I'll even post those reviews here. Just admit it was a terrible job. I've had $20 cuts better than the $100 I spent on someone ignoring my photos and going full Edward Scissorhands on my head. Screwing up people's hair for $100 then saying they have to pay $90 to fix it is a scam. Berating people's hair quality because they don't use your Aveda product is a scam. Bribing clients with discounts for positive reviews is a scam, and flooding your yelp page with fake reviews is a scam. I reached out to you privately and professionally first via email. I requested to speak to you directly and you never returned my calls. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves and welcome people to check out my reviews and contact me directly (or even meet up for coffee if you want to see the back of my head). I genuinely wish I had read the google reviews of your salon before coming in. I also encourage everyone else to look at your multiple fake 5 star reviews from people with no profile picture and only a single review of your salon. Gigi Salon encourages people to post positive reviews in exchange for a 10% discount on products. Stack the deck much?

Oh my god, I went in with the possibility of getting my hair chopped off. I got my hair chopped…read moreoff. Went from virgin black Asian hair to platinum with lavender accents. I basically have a really cool faux hawk and I feel like a real silver unicorn. I've been toying with this idea for a while because I wanted a more androgynous or nonbinary look to present myself and feel good about myself. And for someone who doesn't feel good about themselves often, I feel fantastic! In particular, Lisa is hands-down amazing sauce. I first spoke with her via Yelp and then I went in the next day. I'm not in a good place financially, and Lisa worked with me to accommodate that. It was a lot of work and took all afternoon, but it was totally worth the money, time, and a burning head. Lisa turned things around when she noticed it wasn't exactly what I wanted due to a mutual misunderstanding. I was impressed by her willingness to do that and talent to do that. My hair is temperamental and does not like color. Lisa got it on the first shot, and I am so happy with it. Highly recommend this salon, and I highly, highly recommend Lisa. She said she loves doing fun things like this, so if you're looking for a really edgy or colorful look, ask for Lisa! She's warm, talented, and patient.

If you want a simple haircut or root touch up, sure. But if you need color correction or if you…read morehave a more complex job, this is not the salon for you. They over promise and under deliver. I went in for a color correction and full set of highlights. The results were appalling. The stylists have no clue what they're doing. This is a photo of the highlights done aka zebra stripes. The solution to this? The stylist, Elizabeth just added dye to cover up the highlights. The end result? Darker hair than I had previously. I could have easily bought a box of hair color and dyed my hair if I wanted this. Went to the owner to find some resolution, he was rude, arrogant and dismissive. Photo of the zebra striped highlights on the right and then the undesired end results on the left. Terrible job, and no compensation for a disgraceful job. I'm embarrassed for them.
