But, your children must be able to sit for service. They are busy and have a lot of clientele, so book your appointments in advance. I have only missed one hair appointment since 2019 and that was during COVID. I feel like Rapunzel because my hair has grown so long since 2019. I don't have one negative thing to say!! Definitely recommend trying to get it when they have availability. ‍

As a business owner in town for a major speaking event and conference, I wanted to get my hair done beforehand. I had tried calling the salon the day before but didn't get an answer, so I booked a same-day morning appointment. I kept the salon updated twice that I was running slightly behind schedule. When I asked the salon owner how long the process would take, she gave me an attitude and replied, "You have long hair. Why don't we just curl it?" I agreed and showed her pictures of the loose, shiny curls I wanted. She grabbed a jar of a thick grease like product, and when I asked for something lighter, her attitude worsened. She started curling my hair, but the first piece came out with completely straight ends. I politely gave feedback and asked for looser curls. After curling another piece, she abruptly told me she couldn't help me and kicked me out of the salon. I've never experienced anything like this. Stylists are supposed to take feedback and work with their clients, not respond with hostility. This was by far the worst salon experience I've ever had. If you have any specific preferences for your hair, avoid this place--they clearly operate on a "my way or the highway" mentality.

Being a woman with big hair is always a challenge when it's time to find a hair dresser…read more So I moved back to the DMV and my friend-stylist moved to Myrtle Beach so I had to find a new weave healer. My first search lead me to the Silver Spring area. It was kinda far for me with my schedule. So I went off to find a new hair dresser. After looking on Yelp I found a place and a recommendation for a lady who does great color. Well my hair is above my butt and full of high lights so I need a good colorist. I came in and immediately fell in love! Josefina was nice, polite and not afraid of my hair. And she took me on the spot. I always come so they can examine my hair but her, nope she was like this is what I do. In love. Closer to home and definitely my go to. Also, important to note that this is a multi cultural salon. You have the barbershop in the front and the salon area in the back. Love it! The barber was nice, said hi and how can I help you as soon as I walked in. My last hair stylist who turned into my bestie was a black American woman. So for me anyone should be able to do all kinds of hair but in the MD area it was hard for me. A stylist is a stylist. I found that most salons were not multicultural which for a mixed girl was kinda hard. Super glad this is multicultural. Love it! Owners were so nice too btw.

Charisma has the sweetest spirit, she listens to what you want, is extremely knowledgeable about hair, and I can't say enough about how fair the pricing is. You will be hard-pressed to get a sew-in for under $350 in the DC area, but you can tell Happy Tresses is mindful of the working woman's price-point and standard of quality. I should also add Charisma did the best cornrows I've EVER had in record time. My sew-in laid so flat, the style still looks brand new 5 weeks later--I honestly don't want to take it out, but I digress. I haven't tried the bundles yet (because I already had hair before I made the appointment), but the Brazilian Island Wave and Indian Steamed Curl are right up my alley and next on my list. She also makes some gorgeous/stylish wigs and I think I'm going to have to break down and buy one. Waldorf is a bit of a hike for many, but it has been absolutely worth it. I have a natural hairstylist already but Charisma definitely gained a loyal client for all my weaving needs. Thank you!
