    My experience here I believe is very typical for any black girl to get her hair straightened. I didn't come here to get a look, but to only prepare for my hair to be braided. It's in the shopping center in the corner of the shopping center so it was a little difficult to locate the salon. It's not its own salon, there are other businesses shared. I do recommend going in early as possible, I had to wait for a little bit. I want to say no longer than 30 minutes to get seen. There was a line but they only accept walk-ins. Two beautiful ladies just doing hair, you get to choose either though roller set or the wash set, for the thick hair girls, You do have to get the wash set which I believe I paid $50 or $60 for because I also asked for a conditioner treatment. I got my hair washed then conditioned sat under the dryer for a little bit washed again sat under the dryer again then I got my hair blown out and straightened. She tried to style it, but I didn't really need a style. I loved the end results sometimes I feel like I can never really actually straighten my hair, but this is not something I would wear out and about just because my hair is so thick as soon as an ounce of heat touches it again it will poof up which it did that night. I would come back just to get my hair washed and straightened for another protective style.

    Always friendly and always professional. Since Meliisa is the only person actually blowing the hair out sometimes you have to wait but she is pretty fast and gets you in. My hair always looks fresh and pressed.

    Loving it.

    Loved the deep conditioning and the results. Melissa and her team are very sweet. My hair is weightless, soft and rejuvenated. Great thing it that they don't charge extra for natural hair or flat iron. Wash and Set $25 Mon to Thrusday for all hair. WOW They also have snacks for you to purchase as well and free water. I will definitely be coming back.

    Healthy, shiny and bouncy hair... Love it!

    Great experience at this salon. All the stylist are friendly, there is no long wait and the price is just right. After a horrible (first time) experience at a different Dominican salon, I was hesitant to try another but I'm glad I did. Pros: Good customer service Inexpensive Professional salon products used No extreme heat from hood dryer Complimentary bottle of water while under the dryer They can style and work with all hair types (I'm natural, no chemicals) I didn't feel the uncomfortable language barrier I experienced at the other salon. Melissa, her husband and a few other stylist speak enough English to communicate with non Spanish speaking customers. I brought in my own deep conditioner because the previous Dominican salon used a deep conditioner that left my hair matted, tangled and very hard to comb through. I didn't want to go through that again but Melissa convinced me to try out their deep conditioner free of charge and I wasn't disappointed. It worked at softening my hair, which helped in the detangling process. Cons: None I loved the way my hair looked and felt afterwards. I received many compliments from friends, family and coworkers. When my best friend came to visit me from out of town, she wanted to get her hair done here. The experience for her was consistent with mine...she loved the results! I will definitely be coming back to this salon!

    I received a wash and blow out and was extremely happy with the outcome ! Great service and staff. I will definitely be going back!

    Trim and deep conditioning after a very neglected summer filled with pool and beach visits. Set and dry and Melissa styled.

    Never disappointed here! Saturdays are priceless to me and usually get my hair done during the week. Today was the day I had to break my rule and was here at 8am. Wash, deep conditioning, hair trim, set. Sat in hair dryer for 55 minutes and got hair styled (minimal). I was done by 11:03am. For a busy Saturday, not bad at all! Will keep coming for sure!

    Loving my blown out bob

    There are a lot of Dominican Salons in the City of Laurel. But for me Melissa's is the best. First of all I had a 5pm appointment and I was sitting in the chair at 5:01pm. I was able to get a deep conditioner included in my service for free. Even though they use a lot of heat, I did not feel they were over processing my hair.THe salon suite is quaint and private which I like. It wasn't overcrowded and I was able to get in and out. I haven had my hair professionally done in a long time but I was past pleased. My hair looked so pretty. It has been about a week and I am still getting compliments. I have already recommended others and I will be back.

    Oldest kid before & after. Deep conditioning & blowout!

    I've been going here for a while now. It's a great place to drop in for a blow out. I prefer the owner because I love the way she does my hair. It always looks, feels, and moves so nicely afterwards. I do know that you get a free deep conditioning by checking in via the yelp app which is nice. I like the products they use and notice that some people bring in their favorite products for use occasionally which isn't really necessary, but the staff tries hard to accommodate. I do like that they realize the coarseness of my hair, and they don't try to set me under the dryer with rollers. That just doesn't work. Also they use proper tools for your hair. I've been to some places where the stylist tries to comb your hair out with a small tooth comb and that's a No-No. All natural hair ladies know better than that. You definitely need a wide tooth comb for detangling. They use the proper steps according to the grade and or type of hair you have. In my case, I'm really coarse i.e., nappy or a 4C in natural hair typing. Rollers wouldn't work well for me, so they detangle and clamp my hair into sections then let me get semi dry under the hooded dryer with medium heat. Afterwards, Melissa blows my hair out the rest of the way. I feel it decreases the amount of pulling and high heat with this method. Some shops go right to blowing out your hair which means more tugging, pulling and lots of heat!!! After a blowout here, my hair always returns to its curly, coily state which tells me NO heat damage, so this is my go to shop for blow outs on the fly no appointment necessary. Although if you have one, you maybe able to skip the line. The only down sides are that her business has definitely outgrown the salon suite she's in and sometimes there maybe a small language barrier so it's nice to have a pic of the style you want if it's that important. The only true need in my opinion is SPACE. She needs, needs, needs more space. Both my daughters also love Melissa too. We each have different textures, but our hair always turns out looking great!!! I feel comfort enough to leave them there and they use Melissa's phone to call when I should be on my way. Gives me a break from all these heads and allows me to run a few errands. We'll miss living close to this business.

    I have found my new stylist! So I got my hair done by Teresa and a half ago and it looks great but…read moreit just wasn't me. I was happy with overall the job she did but the color was a little to light. But the overall job was solid. I shared that and she was like come back and I will fix it. So I made an appointment totally expecting to pay for it. She was like uhm the color is free. I was like "say what". She did a great job this is more me, and I really think I am done trying to put color in my hair. She was very happy I gave her the chance to fix it. That to me meant a lot. Most stylists get tuddy when you point out things. Not Teresa she was like ok let me fix it, and she did just that. This is for sure my new salon! She cut it even too, it's a little shorter than I expected. However it will grow back faster that way, plus it's even:) I plan on returning to her to keep my hair right and tight. Per usual the service is always really good, and I enjoy talking to her. Stylists are counselors and don't even realize it lol. My daughter will be visiting soon and I will add pics!
