    I started going to Jenn Shin Studios within this last year as my hairstyle Andrea began working there - previously I had always heard great things about Jenn/the studio itself and both definitely met my expectations! The studio is clean and decorated with plants which create a peaceful/welcoming environment. There's a snacks/drinks area provided by the studio which I thought was very considerate! The music is modern and I find myself always leaving with a new song to my playlist. Andrea is kind and her skills are magic! She asks questions to make sure she understand what I want & don't want, she always seems to remember our previous conversations and takes her time with me :) Recently made an appointment via text and it was so fast and convenient.

    I have to give it to Jenn; there's a difference when you operate a business with passion. After decades of not processing my hair I decided to go for something fun now that I have grays coming in. I was extremely indecisive, going in twice for both a colored extension consultation and a highlights+vivids color process consultation on my own hair. While I had Andrea for my stylist, Jenn is involved in the process and Jenn was able to break down the pros and cons in a clear manner for me to make a decision without regrets. Both were very patient. She is also able to offer nuanced advice that comes with doing specialty hair color that I don't think more main stream salons can offer. The location is tucked into a low-key shopping center on the pike with a cute Japanese grocery store and Taiwanese bubble tea place if you need refreshments while getting your hair done. The atmosphere is upbeat. Pricing is reasonable. Clientele and team while I was there are mostly under 40. Perhaps consider bringing your own music if you don't care to listen to rap for 2 hours;-) Attached is the final result taken with both an android and iPhone. The color varies depending on the lighting. I love it and am excited to show it off in photos this summer

    TL;DR: Professional, realistic, honest, and ridiculously skilled stylists! I always leave with amazing results! I've gone to Jenn Shin studios for almost 3 years now, so it's about time I wrote a review. 3 KEY THINGS TO KNOW (for any hair salon): 1. COMMUNICATE: talk to your stylist. Be honest and speak up (nicely). They're a human being, not robots. 2. MANAGE EXPECTATIONS: sometimes your current hair can't handle what you want (depending on box dye, past care, past treatments), unless you want more damage 3. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR/TIME IT TAKES: I learned this the hard way. You not getting that hair you saw on IG for $200 (it isn't 2001 anymore). Honor your stylist's skills and time and pay up! I also spend on average 9-10 hours at the salon, so prepare your butt. So when I go, I see Jenn, herself. She is AMAZING. She was able to do a full on color correction during my first visit, and the before and after was incredible. Thankfully, I have more coarse/stronger hair, so my hair didn't come out damaged! Since then, I've gone back for yearly foiliyages and toner sessions in between. Honestly, her whole salon is amazing. If you follow their social media, they can do it all, and EVERY stylist does it so well. So regardless of which stylist you choose to see, you won't leave disappointed.

    Absolutely love the service from JSS, they're so attentive, caring and flexible with rescheduling if you get sick! I never feel pressured to do anything with my hair and the vibe is always chill once you walk in through that door. I've only been with Jessica and Jenn personally, but everyone has such beautiful work I am certain I would not be disappointed! Make sure you request your appointment ahead of time as every stylist there gets booked fast.

    Let me start with this: I have NEVER left JSS feeling dissatisfied with my results or experience no matter the service. I have been in this studio from open to close completely jumping from one side of the color wheel to the other and I have also been in this studio for just a conditioning treatment. I am in love with my results every single time and this is why: The stylists will be REAL with you. They do an amazing job of setting realistic expectations and helping me understand what my hair may or may not be capable of, and they will always try their hardest to get me to my vision. I absolutely adore everyone at this salon and even those who have moved on to new adventures. I haven't gone to another salon in 5 years and I plan to keep it that way for as long as possible. I love this team, what they do, and what they stand for.

    The stylists here are hair magicians that also take the integrity of your hair into consideration. They have great customer service and are transparent when discussing costs & hair goals. Highly recommend!

    Jenn Shin and her team are the absolute best! They're incredibly knowledgeable about hair and are able to safely diagnose and work on even the most damaged hair. She gives personalized recommendations based on my lifestyle, job, and hair condition. Customer service is top notch. I'm really big on that kind of thing. Studio is really cute, clean, and Instagrammable. Jenn puts in WORK for sure. My very black hair takes many hours to lighten, and I've had 9 hour foliyage appointments. Throughout the process, the staff constantly check in to make sure I'm comfortable. The salon and staff are so pleasant though that it feels like a social visit with friends. They talk TO me, and not just over me. I've had the most contact with Jenn, Eric, and Christy personally! Eric's head massages are 10/10. Jenn, Eric, and Christy stayed to 8pm to finish styling my hair, even when they all must've been exhausted. They happily encouraged me to have that final curl (if it was what I wanted!). In the height of the pandemic, Jenn and her team quickly instated masking and disinfection procedures that made me (healthcare professional) feel safe enough to come get my hair done. I've recommended Jenn Shin studios to family and friends because I know she and her team care about their art.

    I've been trying to create what Cara at Jenn Shin Studios helped me to manifest today for a really long time. She saw what style I wanted from the pictures I showed her. She gave me her professional opinion on how far to push it. She even helped me to push it a little farther just because it's what I wanted. Cara is a miracle hair stylist! Now, it does take a long time in self reflection and you can't expect your hair dresser to read your mind. You have to understand your face shape. You have to understand that your haircut isn't going to transform you. You have to be very clear about what you want. But of course, it also comes down to an EXCEPTIONAL stylist with experience, intuition and artistic license to bring it out. CARA

    Ericka R.

    Love their work! Everyone here seems to have great talent and mentored well by the owner Jenn. I have been a repeat customer since Cara and Eric, who are now doing their own thing, but I still come back to this establishment. Difficult to get an appointment and high-end pricing, but they do such great work, I would rather stretch out months between my hair appointments than go anywhere else. The color fade out is beautiful anyways. chefs kiss

    Plenty of parking in the back... easy access to the salon. If you park in the front I think you'll have to walk to the back so park in the back :) There are two doors and you can enter through any door. In the middle is the front desk and you can check in there. Super friendly and great service. My sister had an appointment at 2 and we got there a little earlier cus I don't like being late even though I'm late most of the time. Anyway, she was ready for my sister a little after 2. I like that she's punctual because some places have you wait another 15-30 mins to be actually in a chair and be seen. I'm writing this review and it's 2:11 and my sister was talking to her and in a chair before :) I definitely want to get my hair done by her when in md and when I have time and money lol. I saw how she did a lot of different color corrections and I know I'm going to need that because I got my hair done in nyc and my hair is so bad right now.. I thought they'd be better in nyc but that's not true. I see some many asian girls with such bad color jobs :( and the same happened to me and I need it fixed but I also know it'll take almost the whole day. So if you need to get your hair fixed I'd get it done here cus I've seen lots of good hair corrections done by Jenn. I like that Jenn really took her time with cutting my sisters hair and told her what she thought. She took time to get to know her hair to see what would be best for her. I love that she also gives her opinion when asked because I personally never know what to do or know what would look good and she has more experience so she can really help. In the end, if I don't like it, it's on me since I asked her and she just tried to do what she thought was best. When she cut my sisters hair short I was kind of worried but after seeing the end product I was sooooooo obsessed with my sisters hair. She is so talented. It ended up being more work for my sister cus she needs to straighten and curl her hair depending but she knew she'd be doing that and it looks so good. I can't wait to get my hair done by her eventually. My friend also messaged me and said how she ONLY trusts Jenn to touch her hair. I get it because of my hair ordeal. If you know someone is good, you just have to stick with that person. I would say give Jenn a try because she seems to work miracles. Worth the time and money. I mean I don't know how much she charges for other things but your hair is attached to your face and hair does make a difference in my opinion :) I probably can't afford her right now so I am waiting for school to end and to make money to get my hair done by her ;)

    I really liked my haircut from Jenn Shin studios! Staffs were very nice, my stylist (Eriq) knew what he was doing. I wish we communicated more though, we only talked last 10 minutes ish but my neighbor client and the stylist seem to be talking the whole time so it was kind of awkward but not a big deal. They also had a dog in the stuido which i really appreciated Overall I recommend Jenn Shin studios!

    Jennifer C.

    I have been going to JSS for many years now and only trust Jenn and her staff to touch my hair. Every cut and color has turned out exactly as I had hoped and sometimes even better than anticipated.

    New hair!

    Andrea did a fantastic job with my hair! I have always been nervous about dying my hair because of how dark and thick it is, but they have a lot of expertise in this and do a great job. Highly recommend!

    I loved this look! This was all Jenn's creativity and I just went with it

    Can I get an idea on pricing? I am aware it depends on what you get done. A general idea would be helpful. Looking for fashion color or brunette to natural red color. Thanks!

    It will depend on the stylist you get and the other add-ons. The pricing on their website was recently updated and the drop down menus for each category have photo examples and stylist price ranges: https://www.jennshinstudios.com/services… 

    Does anyone here has Jenn Shin phone numbers? I would like to make app with them. Thanks so much

I had warned them about this beforehand, but no one ever seems to really take me seriously LOL. In order to not damage my hair Jane took an entire 5 hrs! working on it, and was very patient the entire time. This was both a pro and a con - pro in that my hair did not come out fried, as it often can, but con in that 5 hrs is a really long time to be spending sitting in a hair salon! They made sure I had water and a bathroom break, which was very considerate. Jane seemed very knowledgeable and specifically did different treatments for the parts of my hair that hadn't been permed before vs those that had. The top layer took very well. The cons: Again, 5 hrs... I very much appreciate them not wanting to fry my hair, but maybe a little speeding up could have been done? Also, while the top layer permed well, the bottom didn't really take - see photos. Also, just FYI, but there is no validated parking. It wasn't terrible to pay the garage, but just something to be aware of. Overall I really appreciated all the time and patience they took, to specially alter treatments for different parts of my hair, and try to not damage it. If there is some kind of middle ground to be able to do the perm and have it take completely in all the hair, and with less time, that would be ideal.

I do not get my hair done more than once every 4 years, but I will certainly be back for a nail appointment before then, and will be recommending this salon to all of my friends. My appointment was at 8am and I was given a generously full cup of hot coffee while I waited for my stylist to settle in. I was given a little tour of the salon and impressed with how much space they have, how modern all the equipment is, and that they even have a kids room! I currently struggle to find time to get my nails done as a mom, and at Progressions I could bring my kid and get some self-love time too. They also have a vegan polish line which fits with my lifestyle. Molly was my stylist and we talked the whole appointment! She is so friendly and I loved getting to know her and sharing some of my life with her. She started by preparing my hair for a hair donation. I found Progressions Salon because they are one of the few businesses that accept hair donations. Molly was able to cut three braided donations off and then pamper me at the hair washing station. Progressions Salon has a chair that massages both your back and your butt during the hair wash and shampoo stage of the appointment. It was the best shampoo experience of my life. After the hair washing Molly gave me a very cute layered bob that complimented my curls. It is hard to find a stylist knowledgeable about cutting curly hair and she nailed it! After the cut she styled my hair and I was set to meet my friends for brunch. I felt so fashion forward and confident with my new cut, and invigorated after such a luxurious experience: Thank you Progressions Salon for my hair cut and I cannot wait for my next visit!

I donated 15 inches of my hair, and she made the whole experience wonderful. This was my first time getting my hair cut by her, but my second time dealing with Molly.
