I moved to the area about three months ago. My hair was in desperate need of a cut and was becoming…read moredifficult for me to manage. I had read positive reviews for Crafted and called to make an appointment. I showed up to my appointment with my stylist, Byron. He was very friendly and took time to talk about options and figure out what would be best for my hair. I decided to take quite a lot off since warmer weather is coming and I wanted a change. He did an amazing job with my curls! I love the way they lay and look. I've had some bad experiences in the past with my hair ending up poofy when going short, but now it looks healthy and my curls are well defined. I'm excited to see Byron again soon for color which we talked about during my appointment. I definitely recommend Crafted!

If you have curly hair you NEED to see Juliet. I have 2C-3A curls and I've spent YEARS trying to…read morefigure out how to manage them. After a cut from Juliet, I feel like my curls can finally spring up to their potential. Juliet started out with a dry cut and she was so amazing answering all of my questions (which I had a lot). She was super knowledgeable as to the type of products that my hair could handle, and even let me know that my current shampoo/conditioner was probably too heavy for me which is why my curls were a bit lackluster. After the dry cut we moved onto the wash and some final snipping finishes. I'll probably never be able to recreate the final look that she achieved after diffusing but I'll make it my personal mission to get as close to it as possible. Long story short, if you want someone who's a solid conversationalist, gives great curly advice, and listens to the type of haircut you want I recommend Juliet!

I had my first curly cut with Ashley at Diaspora Salon and honestly ended up exactly where I was…read moresupposed to be. I had been putting it off for a while because curly cuts can get really expensive, especially with how popular they've become online lately, but this felt completely worth it and surprisingly affordable for the level of care and service I received. Ashley was wonderful from start to finish. She explained every product she used, what she was doing throughout the appointment, and gave me realistic guidance on how to maintain my curls at home. I never felt rushed, but I also appreciated that the appointment was efficient. I was in and out in about an hour and 45 minutes. The whole experience felt relaxing and thoughtful. Two shampoos, a head massage, great conversation, beautiful salon atmosphere. I genuinely felt taken care of. As someone with alopecia who doesn't go to salons often, trusting someone with my hair felt significant, and Ashley made me feel comfortable the entire time. I drove from Washington, DC and would absolutely do it again. I even bought products afterward because for the first time in a long time, my hair felt manageable and healthy in a way I could actually maintain myself. I'll definitely be back to see Ashley again for upkeep and maybe a fun style here and there too. Really grateful for this experience.

I booked a Curl Discovery Cut priced at $265, over $300 after tip, based on how the service is…read moredescribed and marketed: a premium, consultative experience that includes thoughtful shaping, education, and guidance tailored to the client's curl pattern. That is not what I received. I arrived with long, full, healthy hair that I had spent years growing and caring for. My hair was mid back length, and I communicated clearly that my priority was improving the shape while preserving as much length as possible. I did not request a dramatic cut. There was no thorough consultation. Yasmine hardly spoke to me throughout my appointment. She asked a few questions at the outset. There was no education component aside from attempting to sell me products at the conclusion of the service. Despite my very clear request to maintain my length, a significant amount of length was removed, far beyond what was discussed or was necessary to improve the shape of my hair. That loss is permanent. It will take years for my hair to fully recover, and there is nothing that can be done in a follow-up appointment to restore what was taken. Beyond the length loss, the cut itself lacked cohesion. It did not account for the different shrinkage rates across my curl patterns, which range from approximately 3C to 4B, and as a result the shape dried unevenly in an angular helmet shape with blunt awkward bangs, rather than nicely framing my face. The styling portion of the service further obscured the cut. Extremely heavy product was used, weighing my hair down and masking the actual shape. I was not given meaningful education or instruction on how to achieve my desired style at home, despite this being a central component of what differentiates a Curl Discovery Cut from a standard haircut. I left without clarity on how to properly style my own hair and with a result that looked nothing like what I had requested. In addition, the handling of my hair during the service was uncomfortably rough. In the days following my appointment, I experienced ongoing breakage that I had not been dealing with prior. After the appointment, I attempted to resolve the situation in good faith. The only option offered was an in-person assessment and potential adjustment under the salon's service guarantee. No refund, partial or otherwise, was considered. Given the extent of the length already removed, the lack of trust created by the initial experience, and the fact that additional cutting could not undo the damage, returning to the same chair did not feel like a meaningful or safe remedy. If they were genuinely sorry for what happened and the aspects of the service that were not delivered, they would offer a meaningful remedy, not a requirement to put my hair back into the same hands that already damaged it. After my experience, I read additional reviews and noticed a consistent pattern. Multiple clients describe receiving little to no actual consultation or education as part of the Curl Discovery Cut, despite that being a core part of how the service is marketed. Others note difficulty working with looser or mixed curl patterns, overly heavy styling that obscures the cut, failure to account for shrinkage, rough handling during detangling, and breakage following their visit. When concerns are raised, responses from ownership frequently rely on the service guarantee policy rather than acknowledging gaps in execution or offering a proportionate resolution. I am attaching photos with my face blurred showing my hair before the appointment, immediately after, and once fully dry. Based on the documentation and the irreversible nature of the length loss, I do not feel this service aligned with what was advertised or justified the premium price. I am sharing this so future clients can make an informed decision, especially those with long hair, mixed curl patterns, or those seeking true consultation, education, and careful length preservation.

The work: Clean cut, precise, and not rushed, they take time on the heads they're working on, don't really complain and have no attitude. The results: Great braids, and also very talented in other areas. While i was there i saw multiple styles offered and executed. The time: As you know braids or any hair braiding style take a long time. They offer you water and make sure you're comfortable. They are fast working and if the hands are available they will let more than one braider braid your hair at a time making the process go by faster. The overall experience: Really great, 10/10 recommend for braids and would come again. For pricing : $$ but also they supply the hair and will wash and dry if you ask.

I'm usually very hesitant to let anyone trim my hair--but Caryn earned my trust, and I'm so glad she did. The trim was perfect. She's not only incredibly skilled, but also has a warm, caring personality that makes you feel instantly comfortable.

I was skeptical about Lluminaire due to mixed reviews about the secretary and the pricing. To add, I've never left a review before but I felt the need to share my experience. I called to see if any salon could take me on my off day from work for a reasonable price. I wanted a partial - full highlight with face framing balayage pieces. I have medium length hair that hasn't been properly colored or cut in months. The secretary, Lisa, was helpful and informative when booking my appointment for me. She fit me in to see Layla since she had a last minute cancellation. Long story short, Layla is extremely talented and cosmetology is clearly her passion. She gave me a full consolation and even asked me to pull my mask down a little bit so she could see my bone structure and skin tone. I've never had someone so thorough do my hair! She truly earned her 'Master Stylist' title. She was professional while also down to earth, she asked me what budget I would like to stick to. I told her around $150 for the full high-light if possible. In short, Layla completely transformed my hair. She worked quickly and was extremely thorough; She wanted it to be perfect for me. She even gave me a complimentary blow dry so she could see the results of the color. Although the price is higher than I've ever paid, I really got what I paid for. I'm from a smaller town so this was definitely a new experience for me. I feel like Layla was a perfect fit for me. She didn't make me feel like she was taking advantage of me or rushing me. I appreciate how humble she is and I already have a follow up appointment booked. I don't have any great pictures of the transformation, but Leila took some. Her instagram is hairbyleilawj, the proof is in the pudding :)

It's a recession, and since my regular salon in Ellicott city has changed since Covid, I am always looking for a new Asian spot. I thought it would be $30ish but instead the bill was $60. Still not bad for a haircut but not at an Asian salon and not to mention this is a pretty dingy salon. My stylist first of all smelled like cigarette smoke and I asked him several times to wash his hands, and I came home smelling like cigarettes. I was also coughing inside the salon because I'm very very sensitive to cigarette smells. When I cough, the man brought me water, but there was hair in the water so I couldn't even drink it. Needless to say, I was really agitated after the haircut and extremely long blow dry where I felt like my scalp was burnt. If you are looking for an old-time, no no no frills vibe or very good customer service, this fits but honesty it's too expensive for what it is. Cigarette smells and also the man pulled several pieces out of hair while washing - it got caught on his rings and watch!
