I love going to Luxuria Salon. Katie B has been cutting my hair for many years. She does a wonderful job and I always leave feeling great. I love catching up with her each time I have an appointment. The staff are always kind and courteous. Margie, the owner, is a smart business woman and I will always be indebted to her. She "fixed" an at home color disaster that my daughter had during her first year of college about 25 years ago - before she opened Luxuria Salon. I have been a loyal customer since they opened their doors. read more

Emily was AWESOME! This was my first time at Luxuria, but I can assure you that it won't be my last. My color and cut are great and everyone in the salon was so nice and friendly. read more

Hi everyone! My name is Amy and I'm definitely not an expert in hair but I know I had a great time here. I'd like to share my first experience at Luxuria to give some insight for new/interested clients. First Impressions: To start off with a bit of background, Luxuria has been around for quite a while, servicing clients in the Olney-Laytonsville area. They moved to a new location roughly 3 years ago and it looks amazing! The owner, Margie, is such a lovely person. When I first walked in, I was greeted with a bunch of warm smiles and welcomed into a beautiful space. The interior was gorgeously furnished and all products were neatly organized. It was extremely clean, smelled wonderful (no harsh chemical smells!), and had such a wonderful vibe going on - stylists and clients were chatting and having a great time! I was offered a few different options for refreshments by multiple people as well. The Process: I came in with an idea on what I wanted to do, but Katie M. guided me towards a better direction. She gave me a price breakdown and explained everything beforehand, so I knew what I was getting into - which I really appreciate! I was going for an ash brown all over, but Katie was concerned with the integrity of my hair and we agreed we should do something a little less harsh since I'd be coming back before the fall semester. We agreed on highlights, a gloss, and a tone so I could have some color and begin the multi-step process to achieving the color I want. It really says something when businesses care more about you as a person rather than milking your pockets with as much random stuff as they can put on. The lightening process my was easy-peasy - nothing burned or hurt at all. We opted for a color gloss, which helps with shine, evens tone, and is a lot less damaging than regular dye (I did a quick google search so this is just to the best of my knowledge). Overall, everything went super smooth. Katie is incredibly knowledgeable and committed to her work, so I feel like I learned a lot about the process of coloring hair! Result: The suspense was killing me! We did a blow-dry and curl, and when my hair was finally dry, I finally got to see the finished look. It was the kind of nice and subtle "mushroom" color I was aiming for without being too BAM on my head. We weren't expecting it to be so light simply because of how dark my natural hair was, but wowie!! I was hoping it would turn out light and it really did. The highlights were super nice and added so much depth and definition into my hair, and definitely looked amazing in curls. I wasn't ever worried but Katie really just surpassed all of my expectations. Overall, my experience at Luxuria was definitely a 10/10. Katie M. is bright and lively, super funny, and knows her stuff. I don't know what more I could ask for! Thank you so much for restoring my faith in getting my hair done after so many horrible experiences with commercial hair salons. Support your local small businesses friends! read more

Luxuria Salon - after! :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Olney, Maryland

I called Luxuria and was able to get a same day appt. I had a cut with Katie, who was super sweet and did a great job. Very happy with the salon and will definitely be returning. read more

I've been going to Luxuria for a few years now. I have loved the cuts and high lights that I get here. But this review isn't about that. It's about the service! I called to reschedule an appointment. I hate having to do that - especially since the only times that I now had open were times my regular stylist (whom I love) didn't work! I was bummed about that- but my niece was home from college and could only get together for our traditional high tea on the day I was scheduled for a cut and highlight. The receptionist was more than understanding. She said it was no problem at all and even went out of her way to connect me with another stylist. The receptionist alone here gets 5 stars! Looking forward to getting my hair done. read more

I've been going to Luxuria for years and happy with stylist but their increasing prices are above my comfort level price point

I always feel welcomed at Luxuria. For many years, I was intimidated by salons but Luxuria makes me feel right at home. Katie B is warm and friendly! read more

Major hair color disaster, followed by childish high drama. I'll be looking for another salon.

1st timer at Luxuria Salon. Stephanie was my stylist and she's fantastic! Stephanie listened to my story, understood what I wanted and her easy going, gentle manner really put at ease. I felt comfortable with her which is huge. I love my new updated look. My hair looks and feels so much better. Great salon, and Stephanie is a wonderful stylist. Luxuria and Stephanie you've gained a new long term, loyal client! read more

Have been going to Luxuria for manicures and pedicures for years and have always been impressed by the quality of service and care that Megan and Gale can lavish on your nails. HIGHLY recommended. Katie styled my hair for an event and did my makeup. Also HIGHLY recommended. Gotta give 'em four stars only because of my first (and last) haircut I received from Keira. I had never gone for a haircut at Luxuria but I was incredibly excited because I had never seen anything less than stellar cuts and colors walking out of the salon. I didn't have a preference for a stylist, thought I'd be adventurous and make an appointment with whoever was available. While she was sweet and pleasant... Keira did a number to my hair! I brought in a picture from Vogue of an extremely edgy cut and she.... botched my hair. My fine hair is prone to being flat and limp... she somehow managed to deflate my hair to all-time new low. Let it grow out for two weeks and went elsewhere for a cut to fix the uneven layers and chunks she took out of my hair. CHUNKS. Bottom line: STAY AWAY FROM KEIRA! read more

Jenn at Luxuria is the only person I have ever trusted to color my hair. I have had other stylists do it 2 times and it's never as good. I have been going to Jenn since before she was at Luxuria (past 9-10 years). She is very good at what she does. Everything else at Luxuria is fabulous too. Gale and Megan do a fantastic job with nails. They only use quality materials and really take care of each customer. Rachel does fantastic facials and waxing. Everybody is very friendly. We hired Jewel to do updos and airbrush makeup for my wedding. She did an AMAZING job. Everybody looked gorgeous. I can't say enough good things!! read more

I am a new customer and I really like this salon in Olney. It is bright, cheery, , and comfortable. Everyone was friendly. Erin, my stylist, was friendly and did a great cut and blow dry. I would have given 5 stars but the prices are high--$70.00 for a cut and blow dry. read more

First time at this Salon at the beginning of May. I had Erin and I was happy with my cut. I was looking for a change and plan to return. Erin gave me a cut according to my instructions and pictures I bought in. I plan to use Erin again. The salon was nice and clean. read more

I am a fairly recent customer - convert to Luxuria. Many family members are Luxuria devotees and here's why - Katie Browning and outstanding customer service. Luxuria offers 5-Star services and the ambiance and comfort of downtown salons and considerate and professional staff. Katie B. provides thoughtful precision in her service. She is an excellent stylist and takes the time to listen and talk with her customers about their hair goals. Aside from a perfect cut every time - her coloring abilities are equally acute. And the color "bar" process is comfortable and congenial. Luxuria offers in town quality, services and appearance with the friendly atmosphere you would expect from Ashton location. It is nothing short of an ideal salon experience. read more

I went to Luxuria for the first time yesterday and I am so glad I did! I rarely write reviews but I just had to leave one for here. Upon entering, I noticed what a beautiful salon it is. The stylists all seemed wonderfully nice and professional. I came in with a half formed idea of what I wanted and the stylist picked up on it, went with it, and did wonders! My highlight and cut are the best I've had in years. She convinced me to go without bangs (well, for now, sweep them way to the side until they grow out). I thought, why not? I'm so glad she had a vision and I agreed! I love my hair! It was a lovely experience and I look forward to returning. read more

Not only is the environment incredibly welcoming, everyone is so nice! I saw Ashley today and left in tears because I was so incredibly happy with the results of my hair. I was anxious about cutting all of my hair off after it having been long for years. She did such a wonderful job and saved my curls! I've never had a stylist protect my curls and enhance them this way. Needless to say, I will be back. read more

The only thing luxurious about this salon is the prices. They don't value long time customers, and when they moved to their new, smaller location in Olney, the place lost its charm. Apparently it is common practice to raise the customer's prices when the hair stylist gets a promotion. I am all for promotions, especially when they are deserved, but I don't believe valued customers should be asked to bear that burden. read more

So this review isn't completely representative of Luxuria as a whole and is only really about the stylist Ashley. I've never had to do this before, but after showing a picture of what it is I wanted and getting a haircut, I had to shave my head completely because the haircut was unsalvageable. Once getting home I tried to see if I could make it better, but with the fact that I work in a corporate environment and can't possibly wear a mohawk to the office I made the decision to just cut it off since she cut my hair so short, so high up one side of my head. I should have gone back and asked for my money back but I wasn't willing to embarrass the stylist. I just figured I'd let other people know of the lack of skill and care that was taken while I was at Luxuria. read more

The reception has really BAD customer service. The treat you like they couldn't care whether you are a customer or not. I went for a mani & pedi When I asked the receptionist why they offered specials for the month and then did not have any appointments. . The reply I got was do you want off our mailing list. I then talked to the owner about how I felt and I got an explanation for the lack of appointments and a lopsided apology. Later I found out that the receptionist was the owners daughter. If service was what they prided themselves on then I guess it doesn't apply to family members. The reason I gave it 2 stars was that the Mani & pedi are fantastic. Gale and Megan are both outstanding. In the future I will make an appointment through them. Don't know about the other services but I sure hate to pay so much money to be treated like that. read more

What happened to the review I wrote a couple of years ago? I didn't think Yelp removed negative reviews. Luckily, my time there was memorable. The only nice room was the lobby. The hair salon area was was an overcrowded jumble of chairs and unprofessionally dressed stylists. One lady who was getting her hair highlighted had a head full of messily wrapped lumpy foil. The manicure and pedicure area was a very small dark space. Despite charging top dollar for their services--they didn't even have professional nail dryers. That had fans. The waxing area was tiny and grubby. It needed painting as did most of the other rooms. When I got home I noticed a whole line of eyebrow hairs that the technician missed--and I don't have particularly hairy eyebrows. This place was not relaxing or spa-like. A spa is supposed to be a tranquil and quiet place. Luxuria Salon and Spa was anthing but. I thought their prices were outrageous for the area. Unless you live just down the street you probably pass several nail and hair salons on the way there. Most of them will be better and less expensive. To be fair, I was there almost two yearsago. Maybe the management has improved the place. I don't know. I do understand how attached women get to their stylists--and will follow them anywhere. I have a friend who goes there and her hair looks wonderful. When I heard that her hair stylist works there I was very disappointed because I would not go there again. read more

I've been coming here for years and have to recommend Rachel for waxing and Jen for hair. Relaxing atmosphere; the ladies are very friendly; you get quality for the money you spend (and you do spend money, but let's face it--with salons, you need to give in order to receive). read more

Best salon I've tried so far!!! I have been looking for a salon for a quite a while and have finally found one!!! I even tried several in Bethesda that were supposedly ranked highly, however Luxuria beats them all! i went in for just a haircut but a rather drastic change...bangs! It turned out amazing though! Katie did an amazing job! I loved the way she cut my hair and finished my layers. (Brittany did my sisters hair for her wedding and it looked amazing!) They have great customer service by offering a $20 dollar discount for new customers which is great especially when your trying to find a new salon. Be sure to print online. And they give you a new customer goodie bag with samples and discounts for future services. I have found my new salon!!! read more

Kristin rocked my highlights today. And Katie did a great blow out! Atmosphere is friendly. I am making an official switch from my previous hairstylist (of 4 years) to this place! read more

I love this place. I decided to try it and went to Nicole instead of my regular stylist that I have had for past 8 years. Anyways, she was amazing and cut my hair perfectly! Not to short not to long, angled perfectly!! This is the first time in a long time that I have loved my hair!! Shout out to Nicole for hooking it up thanks girl!! Never been so happy! read more

I was there last week for the first time and I got a pedicure by Gale. Best decision I ever made! I was greeted at the front desk by a very nice young lady who offered me a beverage and took me to the back where the chairs were. Let me tell you this place is beautiful! So nice and clean and the staff is super friendly. I never had such an amazing pedicure too! I am totally coming back for more! Gale did an amazing job and my toes look amazing!!! It's a little bit of a hike for me since I love ok Gaithersburg but it's totally worth it. I am coming back again at least once a month to get my toes done there since I hate cutting my own nails lol read more

I love Luxuria! My hair looks awesome every time I get it done. I've been a customer since 2005, have been short, long, brown, blonde, love it all! read more

Luxuria is my go-to salon for great cuts and natural highlights. Margie does a fantastic job listening to me and giving me exactly what I want. She's not scissor-happy which is great. She amazes me by how little hair she cuts yet the result is a perfectly layered cut at just the right length for my face. Rachel does a great job waxing too! Luxuria is wonderful! read more

Found Luxuria thru a good friend's recommendation, and have loved them ever since. Kristen does my hair (a most wonderful stylist and lovely person), Megan and Gail do mani/pedis. The whole team is wonderful. Play hooky and spend a whole day there - it's worth it. read more

I come here for Rachel...she is a master at sculpting my eyebrows! I wouldn't trust them to anyone else :) Love this salon

I have been coming here for years and followed them from 3 different locations as their clientele grew and their services and staff expanded. My hair professional is Kathy and if she isn't available I ask for Katie. However, every person there is well trained, professional, client focused and friendly. read more

I was desperate for highlights and lowlights and a cut. The salon was surprisingly busy for mid day and all the customers appeared to be long time clients - a good sign. The salon was clean, but not designed for relaxation. If you like socializing you can hear lots of interesting conversations. But, for me, I just prefer to check out for a few hours to soothing music and no conversations. This is hard to find this anywhere. My first visit, but Erin was great! She listened to my needs and did not judge me for the apparent neglect (it had been 6 months since my last treatment). So without any history Erin blended my color perfectly. Also, the cut is great. Prices were reasonable. read more

We are repeat customers of Gale, Megan, and Phatima (sp?) for Pedis, and I've been seeing Ashley for my hair for a few visits. Love this place. Usually prompt, always clean, always profession so, and ALWAYS friendly! Feels like visiting family. Love it! read more

People literally stop me in the streets to find out who cuts my hair. When I tell them, they claim its to far to travel to Olney for a haircut. Okay then carry on with your whacked haircut and I will continue to travel to where the service is good and the haircut by Gale Bolds is incredible!! read more

I finally love my hair again! Katie is awesome and knew exactly what to do. All staff was friendly and professional.

I go here to get my nails and feet done. I've tried going other places but NOWHERE has been nearly as satisfactory. Gale treats her clients like family and uses unusual and soothing products to keep your nails looking their best. Yes it's more expensive than other nail places around but it is WORTH it. You get what you pay for. It's a stellar treatment for yourself. GO DO IT! read more

Hey folks - my negative review, reproduced below, was as charitable as I could manage. The fact that the store apparently had it removed makes me feel significantly less charitable. Here it is: This is the first negative review I have ever written in my life and I struggle to do it because the salon, service, and hair dresser were all lovely. This was a first visit and I was already looking forward to becoming a regular. However, I'm now in the frustrated, angry, and bitterly disappointed place of strongly warning you against visiting their newest - and apparently not tested - addition, Nicole. She is a lovely person I enjoyed meeting and talking to. But I can't look at or touch my hair without being enormously sad and angry. We agreed on a length past my shoulders and a basic blunt-edge with some long layers. My sense is that she kept trimming and trimming more to correct her mistakes. It is now up by my ears with outdated layers creating - at best - a dowdy, ugly, middle-aged soccer mom embarrassment. It will likely take most of a year before there is even enough hair to fix this terrible haircut, which will put it back to this very unbecoming length, then another two years to get back to my desired length. I am beyond angry, frustrated, and sad. Don't. Go. Here. read more

I've been a customer for almost 15 years, but over the last 2-3 years, the salon and services have really gone downhill. One hairdresser I had for a couple of years just up and walked out with no warning. The next hairdresser (Erin) I had, made my hair a horrible orange color and charged me almost $250 (not including the tip) and completely fried my hair. I've heard that they're moving the salon because business is so bad. Do NOT recommend. read more

Great salon! I've been going to Jen P. for over 9 years and followed her here 7 years ago. She's taken me from very short to very long and to medium again, and even some pretty classic prom styles, and my hair always looks good (unless I wait way too long, guilty as charged). I've read reviews about other stylists who lose inspiration with their clients after just a few cuts, and for Jen at least I can attest to the opposite. She'll clean up your layers or give you a trendy cut, and always does great color using the best dye--my hair is never fried. My hair is more fine and quite straight, and she never tries to force a curl or cut over zealous layers. She's not a mind reader but she'll listen if you're an air-dry kind of girl. Plus the cuts look even better after a week or two. The one I got yesterday was just to keep my long layers in check during the drying, gross, staticky winter, but every spring I get the itch to go blond. The salon is clean and organized, very professional. The aesthetician, Rachel, does fabulous facials and brows as well as a no-pain Brazilian. The prices are a bit spendy, but you're getting top-quality products and services. read more

First time at Luxuria today and I could not have left any happier. I just moved to the area and went based on the great Yelp reviews of the salon. Very pleased with my decision. Erin is outstanding with cut and color (full-highlights) and has a great demeanor/personality. I have long, very fine hair and she gave me a great cut that somehow gave new life to my hair. I have gone to many upscale salons in D.C. over the last 11 years and today's experience far surpassed any other. I highly recommend Luxuria. read more
