    Loc maintenance with two strand twists
    Etta H.

    Everyone at this business is thoughtful, kind and gives great consideration to who you are as a person. They are prompt and courteous with their care and you don't feel rushed as if you're just another means to an end. I really enjoy coming here and will recommend this salon to anyone who cares about quality service and their hair health. I came in with a considerable amount of color damage and hair breakage. I worked with Rasha and had a great experience. She was very knowledgeable about my hair health and what measures I should take to manage the color damage. She reassured me that I will eventually be able to re-color it later on the future, given proper maintenance and an expert technique with the next color. I really appreciated her thoughtful consideration and the extra time she took to address my concerns. I will definitely be coming back!

    I had the best experience with LocLov. I began my loc journey here and have no regrets. The shop is unassuming with a low key chill vibe. The first stop is the shampoo room and it was divine‼I received a 30 minute shampoo and conditioning that will put you to sleep . After the shampoo my stylist Dacari was simply amazing. He was gentle with my hair, explained how he would start my diamond pattern twists and engaged in witty conversation throughout the process. . I definitely recommend this place to start or maintain your locs.

    Update: they were too tight I had to take down & unravel them to take some pressure off my scalp. I want to keep my Locs yah know I really enjoy this black owned hair salon on Capitol Hill. I was in need of a real loctician & I found that on yelp on 4/15/2018. Ive been blessed with Bonnie because she was available ASAP. She's awesome, the first & second time I visited she repaired some of my locs first. Then I came back for a third and received an amazing, wonderful, caring wash by Billy & Bonnie whipped my hair into shape with a Maintenance & style. It's beautiful style too. Pictures coming soon I do recommend them. Dope energy, dope people & dope conversations!

    I'm new to the area, I took a chance I made the phone call the receptionists was very professional Taking time to listen answering any questions I had getting me with the right style that fit my needs. Walking through the door everyone was smiling they greet you This is a very upscale shop good products. The receptionist took time to walk me up stairs to the sitting Area. Shortly after the Two gentlemen are up there they acknowledge you they let you know they're going to wash your hair. Let me say this you feel like you're in A-day spa as you start getting your hair washed conditioned. They get a gold star. Went downstairs my Stylist was very professional my hair turned out wonderful. I cannot say enough wonderful things regarding my experience here other than to say I may my appointments for my next Visit. A little FYI Download the app for Parking$$

    I was referred to Loc Luv by a friend who is a friend of the owner. The person that I spoke with on the phone texted me and we exchanged pictures of how I wanted my hair cut. The first pictures are of how my hair was cut. The last two pictures are of what I wanted. And I had plenty of hair before the cut. I showed pictures to the stylist of what I wanted and she did something completely different. The staff is gracious and helpful but I would only let them do my hair if I had dreads.

    Where to start. I've been coming to Loc Lov for years now since they we're in DT Silver Spring. I've gotten maintenance from Anthony, washes from Billy, unmatched styling from owner Salih and multiple colors from master colorist Rasha. The first service I ever got from them was a full color to bring my dark brown locs to a blue green teal color. Then I did a strawberry blonde, had Salih cut and shave the sides and from there took them down to loose hair (see attached photos). I've never walked out of there feeling less than a million dollars. The staff is incredibly kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. There's a reason they're the best in the city and I wouldn't trust my hair needs to any other salon. 5 stars.

I've encountered this type of stylist before where if you don't give explicit instructions they will NOT ask any questions. these type of lazy barbers don't understand that they are altering something everyone will see when they look at your face and it is irreversible until your hair grows back. a good hair stylist puts time and consideration into making their client look and FEEL THEIR BEST. it was also ridiculously expensive and if she had an ounce of training or taste then she must not have cared about making me look good at all. anyone with a basic (let alone "professional") understanding of hair can see that she did a truly abhorrent job here.

    I LOVED bishops! I've been on the hunt for a gender inclusive hair salon for almost half a decade…read morein DC and I finally found one! Their staff is mostly BIPOC and as an Indian person, I frequently would go to hair salons with people who did not look like me and did not understand the importance of a good hair cut as a Brown person. As soon as I arrived, I knew this place was going to be great. The ambiance and decor of the space itself is so welcoming. I walked in, but I suggest making an appointment. I got there when they opened so I did not have to wait, but they quickly got pretty busy. One of their stylists, James took me back and asked what I wanted. I recently cut my hair extremely short and I needed it cleaned up. I told him what I wanted and what I didn't want, specifying a specific vibe I wanted and he not only delivered, but was a delight to experience about 20 minutes with in conversation. Prior to going, I also checked out their website. Something I noticed on their websites that is cool is their space is accessible, you can request a silent hair cut, they are locally owned, and they have a 7 day fix-it policy, so if you leave and realize you want something different, you can go back and get it fixed! I highly recommend this place, especially if you're queer!

    Edit: After reading other reviews, it's clear "the problem" my stylist had with me is homophobia. I…read moream not the first person to complain that the team here is avoidant about anything that they consider gender non-conforming. If you want to make this right refund my money, I don't wanna come back to your salon. You don't treat people like that. The price was OKish, but I got a really mediocre haircut. I'm a guy and I haven't gotten a haircut in a long time and I'm starting a new job soon and I needed to look professional. I needed some help like picking a shorter hairstyle and the stylist didn't want to help me make decisions at all. I had to ask for product at the end because she just wanted to kick me out with giant puffy hair because she brushed it when it was dry really really hard. I washed and brushed my hair right before I got in the car to go to the salon and there was no reason to brush out my hair like I was a kid before picture day. My hair feels so fried now. I have 3C curly hair and I left feel like my hair looks like a giant triangle. None of the staff would talk to me and everyone was really really hostile and unfriendly and when I was paying the owner started screaming (I think at me?) about how I didn't want to get a color on my hair like I had booked because they told me they were gonna charge me twice the price when I got there and then she complained that I was losing her business money. I'm gonna end up going to another salon somewhere else because my hair looks terrible. I asked for the bare minimum and she did less than that. I felt like she just didn't want to touch me or work on me. I don't know if they don't like cutting men's hair or if it's some other reason. I wanted a regular short men's haircut and instead I got this really weird bob cut. I asked the stylist why she left the back of my hair like 4 inches longer than the sides and she said it was because of my "curl pattern". I gave her the benefit of the doubt that it would look different once it relaxed or something, but it looks really uneven all over. I also had to ask her to even out her own work a few times because she would just leave random strands of hair three times the length of the other strands and like claim did not notice. I have to try to get it fixed before I start my new job because I don't want my boss to think that this is what I bring to the table. Who gives someone this weird asymmetrical cut when they just wanted everything the same length? I told her I didn't like my hair and she said "well, what do you want me to do about it?". She just kept asking me over and over again what I wanted and I kept telling her like how I wanted it fixed and she kept saying like she basically didn't know how to cut my hair. It wouldn't kill their staff to actually treat the people who come in through the door like human beings instead of like an imposition that they just want to go away. If they weren't going to do a good job for the price they quoted me online they shouldn't have taken my business. It's super awkward having your hair ripped out of your head repeatedly because someone won't just go get a wide tooth comb and they also won't speak to you. You don't brush 3C hair with a paddle brush as hard and as fast as you can and then claim you know how to handle curly hair. I really hate this haircut and I hate how much my scalp hurts right now because someone wouldn't take the time to comb my hair the right way. My stylist literally hid in the back of the salon for 20 minutes texting on her phone instead of cleaning her station like she said she was and she was late to my appointment. I don't know that she knows that I could see her reflection in the salon mirrors and I know she was avoiding me. The only time my stylist smiled or made any kind of conversation with me was when I was paying for my haircut and I got the feeling like she was just being nice so that I would tip. Thanks for making me look like Lord Farquad from Shrek. I don't know who hurt you, but I don't deserve this sloppy pageboy bob cut.

    JESSICA RAMOS SLAYED MY HAIR!…read more I came in for a new color&cut and my appointment was so good that Jessica is my new hair stylist! I had a great consultation prior to my appointment and Jessica was very knowledgeable. She took GREAT care of my curls and took my natural hair color of black to this GORGEOUS coppery color with NO bleach. The cut was awesome as well! She really cut into my hair got off all of the dead ends even at my shortest layer! Her attention to detail was overly appreciated. My curls are perfectly in tact under this blowout! I'm very pleased. The salon is gorgeous as well. Parking was pricey BUT Everyone was very polite, helpful and efficient! They were getting people in&out so fast! They offered complimentary coffee&etc as well.

I also have very curly hair, so my hair slips, slides, and unravel all the time. My girl really helped take care of my hair.

She was awesome, and this is the best my Hair has felt in quite some time. For context, I came to see her after not having proper maintenance for a while and taking an ocean field trip to Mexico. I went from looking like a criminal who escaped the penitentiary, to a corporate baddie in just a couple hours. I would highly recommend . Also, because this is a true salon, the vibes are pretty great for the most part. The music is kind of all over the place, but the place is clean and they have really great product offerings.
