I can't say enough wonderful things about my hair stylist and the exceptional care and service she has provided. During a particularly challenging time when my hair was experiencing significant damage related to an eczema condition, she was incredibly patient, understanding, and gentle. What I appreciated most was that she never made me feel self-conscious about the changes in my hair. Instead, she took the time to understand what I was experiencing, handled my hair with care, and I left her chair looking flawless. Gina worked with me to maintain its health and appearance and very patient when I want to try something new. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern matters, I especially appreciate how she follows up days after my appointment to make sure I'm still happy with my hair. This has made such a difference during a difficult period. She has a true gift for making you feel comfortable and confident, and I always leave her chair feeling cared for and looking my best. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist who combines exceptional skill with compassion and personalized attention. She is truly an outstanding stylist! read more

The owner was able to provide services at short notice. She provided excellent service, and my hair extensions were flawless. A snack and water were given since I missed lunch. The salon was clean and beautifully decorated. I rescheduled for additional hair services. I would definitely recommend this salon. read more

I've been going to Gina for my K-tip extensions roughly every three months for the past six and a half years. I truly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair extensions. Her application is absolutely flawless. Every time I have my hair colored or styled elsewhere, stylists comment on how exceptional her work is. That kind of outside validation says a lot. I have very fine, delicate hair, and Gina doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach. She adjusts placement and technique to protect my hair's health and always explains options when we problem-solve. We currently use Bellami K-tips. Gina custom blends three shades to match my highlights and she is always unbelievably patient throughout. She never rushes, even if we're past the appointment time. And if I ask for a small adjustment at the end, she is so kind and accommodating. She's incredibly professional, genuinely caring, and simply the best at what she does. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I've been going to Gina for my extensions for over 16 years, and she's truly amazing. Not only is she affordable, but she's also wonderful to work with. I always leave feeling happy and confident with my hair--she never disappoints! read more

I have had extensions done in top salons in the northwest none of which have come close to quality of work from Gina !! I've had my extensions for a month now and I'm Blown Away by how well they are placed and how strong the bonds are these are by far the best extensions I've ever had. And honestly when I was shopping around I was very discouraged because I kept calling salons and they were so outrageously expensive until I found her. She was extremely reasonable and took the time to talk with me and explain my options. She also squeezed me into her very busy schedule which I so appreciated. She is a breath of fresh air in an industry where sometimes the customers don't feel very valued. But she is so genuinely kind ,down to earth and honest and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone. Nancy read more

Had a full back sugaring session with the amazing Nina and had such an incredible experience. The hair on my back has always been an insecurity of mine so i decided to start shaving it. Worst mistake ever since I'm prone to breakouts on my back. Looked into different methods and realized that sugaring was a good way to get rid of the hair with less irritation while also also being more gentle on the skin. I gave sugaring a try and I'm absolutely in love. The results are amazing and my back has never felt more smooth, i could seriously never get this result with shaving. And because there are no irritations i can finally feel comfortable wearing strappy tops again when summer rolls around. I'm seriously so happy I tried this. Nina was so sweet, and her attention to detail is amazing, she was so thorough and made me feel so comfortable the whole time. Another pro is how easy and fun she is to talk to. It really made the service even more enjoyable and i can't wait to come back for my next session. I know this review is getting long but I just want to mention that i've also been going to Gina for my micro weft extensions for a while now and she seriously is the best. She does such an amazing job every time and I'm always so happy with the results, i couldn't imagine ever going to anyone else! Seriously! They are both the best duo for a lot of my beauty needs and I'm so glad i found them! read more

Gina is absolutely amazing!!! She is a great stylist who takes her time to ensure your satisfaction. I've never had a bad hairstyle since going to Gina 7 years ago. She stays abreast of what's trending and sets the trend for styles to come. Gina does extension methods other stylists in the DMV haven't heard of or mastered. Although I know Gina has other clients she makes me feel as if I'm the only one when I'm in her salon, which is glamorously decorated. I cannot say enough about this young lady. You'll not be disappointed. read more

Lifetime Client I have been going to Gina for over 2years! I had always had short hair and really felt like it was time to grow it out. I didn't want someone to just "style" my hair I needed someone to help me grow and maintain healthy hair. I started with a full sew in and after 10-12 weeks my hair growth was amazing! I had weaves before but this was different. I go in every 3 to 4 weeks for weave maintenance and I LOVE LOVE LOVE COLOR! Gina is very friendly and has a great personality! I always purchase my hair thru her and her vendors. I had been scammed so many times from companies advertising "human" hair. I receive nothing but compliments on my hair whether I spent 30 minutes on it or 5 Gina is the best read more

Gina is a phenomenal stylist with experience in a wide range of hair extensions and hair products. You should absolutely see her for a consultation to receive the best advice on making the right decisions regarding your hair's beautiful appearance and health. I first met Gina a few months before my wedding. She was incredibly thoughtful, booking my consultation directly behind a woman who was receiving similar, keratin bond extensions. I was able to not only hear her speak about how she could add length and volume but also see her work! (Special thanks to the woman who allowed me to watch a part of her appointment!) She not only discussed the different types of extensions she could install (which include sew-in and no-sew weaves, keratin bonds, tape in extensions, micro-link, and more), she also gave me an option in the brands she preferred and was honest about her own and her clients' experiences with each. I immediately booked my appointment to have SoCap Original extensions, and I have seen her for two more sets of extensions since! I looked beautiful at my wedding, and I feel gorgeous every day wearing these extensions (which get about 4-5 months of wear). Gina is an incredibly talented small business owner, and I proudly share her information with friends who ask who does my hair extensions. Her pricing is PHENOMENAL. I received quotes for extensions that were over twice as expensive as what Gina charges. However, unlike the more expensive salons, Gina only comes with the best reviews for her services and products. I would highly recommend Gina to any woman who is searching for a hair stylist that not only cares about her business but also her clients and their hair health. Thank you, Gina, for all you do! read more

I have been going to Gina for over 14 years! She is punctual, friendly and always on point with her work. I currently have a braid-less weave and it looks extremely natural. She colors, cuts and styles my hair regularly. Her new salon is beautiful. I am so happy she has moved! read more

Gina is a weave/hair maven! She works wonders and knows how to make a girl feel fabulous. She worked on my hair after a really bad previous experience with extensions (fusions). I decided to get microlink extensions per her suggestion - in an ombre (Gina color matched at a consult) shade. Not only does it blend beautifully, but it is super easy to take care of. Her pricing is great and she is very professional. read more

I came to get a sugar wax. The ambiance and energy of the salon was everything I needed on a Sunday! I usually frequent European Wax center for all waxing needs. At first I wasn't sure how "sugar waxing" worked and was nervous (like does it hurt more, is the wax really hot, etc). Nina was so calm, professional and experienced which made me feel right at ease! I ended up having my legs and underarms waxed and it was literally pain free and every single hair is gone. My skin feels like a baby and I had zero irritation. Usually with wax I'll have a weird reaction or bumps for a few days (from the wax heat or from the service). I'll definitely come back as a repeat customer and I straight up love her!! Thank you for your beautiful energy and kindness! Sending so much love! read more

I had a lot of hair damage from a previous poor salon experience and I did not feel comfortable wearing my hair out. My salon experience has me feeling much more confident with my hair! I will definitely be coming back again. The salon is clean and decorated nicely with friendly stylists. read more

This is the extension Diva in Maryland! I needed my mico-beads tightened and Gina did a fabulous job. She is a skilled professional, and I am thrilled I found her. Her customer service is impeccable, and your hair will be flawless as was mine. Great work Gina! read more

Nina did a great job sugar waxing. I had my chin, neck, and face done and my skin didn't break out the next day at all. She also did my chest and treasure trail and it just so smooth. I love her care and attention to detail. She's the best! read more

Gina is an outstanding stylist and on point with her extension installations. I'm so happy I found her on here and feel like I'll be a client for life. All she does are extensions so she is a pro and can do a bunch of different techniques. At the very beginning I came in with a sew-in that had grown out and the braid was showing in the back. She reinstalled with a braidless technique that's great for thinner, Caucasian hair. She really knows what she's doing and I'm super impressed. I buy my bundles of hair from her and the prices are insanely reasonable and high quality. The installation prices are very reasonable as well. Thank you for making me feel like a million bucks when I walk out and for teaching me how to curl my hair! Gina is the best. read more

Gina is absolutely amazing, and is one of the best stylist I know. She knows what she is doing and I trust her with my hair. I have known her for more than 1 year, and her way is consistent and favorable each and every time. I am picky about my hair and want it done with care, and she meets the expectation every time. Gina has done weaves on my hair, and most recently, what I thought was a challenging hair treatment on my own hair, and everything turns out Great with Gina. Healthy hair is her expertise as well, which is really awesome! Thanks for everything Gina, I sincerely appreciate your diligence, and you are an awesome hair stylist and professional... will definitely see you again soon! read more

I found Gina on CL and I would say that I was a little skeptical at first because I had some bad experiences with hair services from people on there. When I emailed her, she was professional all the way. She understood my concerns and eased them. She was extremely knowledgeable on all things weave and I cannot imagine going to someone else at this point. She is so responsive cause goodness knows I have worn her email out! Not only does she give you good hair care tips, but she even went as far to send me a product!!! I love my weaves and I love the hair that she purchases for the weaves. She is just overall a great hair stylist and she really cares about her clients. It is not about the buck, it is really about the experience. Another thing she does that I love is that she always follows up to see how things are going. I mean how many hairstylists do that?!?!?!? Outside of being a beautiful person inside and out, she is good at her craft. I am so glad that I took a chance because if I had not I am not sure what my hair would be looking like! I cannot say enough good things about Gina. She is worth every penny and I am glad that I have a stylist that I plan to be with for a long time. Check her out! You will be impressed!! See you in a couple months, Gina *flipping hair*! read more

I have been getting extensions for almost a year with Gina. She is the best. I like the privacy of the salon. Her extensions stay in and if they do fall out Gina is always willing to fit you in for a repair. I have always been pleased with her work and pleasant demeanor. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE Gina! Did I say LOVE enough LOL? She is a magician!!!! I am so excited over my hair! I am a frequent client and each and every time, Gina takes the time to properly complete my install, does not overbook, and is thorough. She is a perfectionist at her job, which I can truly appreciate! She takes you from beautiful to GLAMOROUS! I highly recommend her, as long as you don't take my standing appointment LOL! read more

I am updating my review because it's been 4 years since my first appointment with Gina. She is a truly gifted stylist and really puts a lot of time and effort into her work, I never feel rushed. She is super responsive by phone and email when it comes to answering my questions, addressing my concerns and discussing treatments and styles I'm interested in getting. She succeeds in balancing my requests with what the healthiest options are for my hair. I have gone to her for weave installations, keratin treatments, coloring and relaxers and am always satisfied. I have asked her over the years to make me look like Beyoncé and other celebrities and she delivers every time! All I have to do is show her a picture of what I want and she'll make it happen. Lastly, she really delivers when it comes to customer experience. While maintaining a high level of professionalism, she is also incredibly down to earth and talking to her is like hanging out with one of my girlfriends. Thanks Gina for your services, will be back soon! read more

Gina is the absolute best installer for weaves I have been to. She is skilled, professional and knowledgeable about hair. I have been going to her about 3 years and have never left her shop feeling bad about the experience. The shop is clean, cozy and for the most part private. I love the fact that she does not overbooked. I have never gone in and had to wait. I usually purchase my hair from her and have been able to keep and use the hair for long periods of time. No shedding, or tangling on any hair I've bought from her. The thing I love the most is that my hair always looks wonderful and people are always asking where I got it done and usually cannot tell its a weave. I usually get a full sew in and the tracks are flat, and the style flawless. Gina is cheerful, professional and knowledgeable about hair. She has given me great advice about my hair. She is educated about hair and goes to conferences and get certifications all the time. It may sound odd, but I'm proud of this young lady for handling her business and would recommend her to anyone! read more

I've been going to Glamour Hair Extentions Boutique for more than 6 months now for my extensions since moving up here from FL last June. Gina has been great! She is extremely knowledgable in hair and what kind of extensions will and won't work for your hair type. She also uses a variety of methods to suit her clients. She has a great personality (something you need from your stylist especially when you spend a few hours in a salon with her while she does your hair!). She also has reasonable pricing and has several options of hair types to choose from so it's really up to the client on how much you want to spend. I have been using the SoCap fusion extentions and the hair is definitely worth the money! I get compliments on my hair all the time. I love her new salon in Wheaton which is very nice and clean and has a TV! We spent the day watching movies while she removed my old extensions and replaced with new. She also uses an online system for booking appointments so it's easy and you get reminders via email! She's also very easy to reach if you have any questions about your new hair. With that said, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Glamour Hair Extensions Boutique for your hair extension needs!!! read more

Gina was great! I went to her for the first time a few weeks ago. I met with her a week prior for an impromptu consultation. Both encounters she was very friendly, very professional, and very informative. I would definitely recommend her. read more

I came to Gina after my original hair stylist moved to Miami. I was in dire need of getting my traditional sew-in removed but was nervous about having a new person remove what someone else put in. Gina was very professional and knowledgeable about the different extension methods. She was able to remove my old extensions gently and give me a simple trim and style which I was very pleased with. She did not chop off all of my hair during the trim like many other stylists do. Since her main specialty is weaving, and I was not getting another put in, she also recommended another stylist that can care for my hair. I definitely recommend anyone searching for a new extensionist see her. It's not everyday you find someone who is personable, knowledgeable, and attentive to each individual client's needs. I will be going back to her the next time I want extensions. read more

Amazing with all types of hair. I have very fine, Caucasian hair and she recommended which type of extensions would be best in my hair and she was right! Super professional and knowledgeable. read more

As a new client, I was very impressed by the services offered. First off, the owner, Gina was very knowledgeable with different textures and techniques. She was very personable and willing to answer all of my questions prior to my appointment which made it easier for me to trust her with getting my extensions done. She did an awesome job on my hair and could not be happier. The price was very reasonable also. read more

Best hairstylist I've had in my life. Gina is thorough and will work wonders with your hair, regardless of your particular hair issues. She keeps up with new hairstyling/weave and hair care techniques and is very creative. And Gina is very professional and fun to be around. Your time in the salon flies by. read more

I really enjoyed my experience getting Microlinks at Glamour Hair Extensions Boutique. This was my first time getting Microlinks and naturally I had plenty of questions about maintenance and what to expect. Gina was very kind and patient in answer my questions both before and during the installation. Once the hair was installed she worked her magic to make sure my hair blended well with the extensions. I am very happy with my microlink installation and all of my friends want to try it now! read more

I came to Gina due to this terrible experience from BRADLIEGH WORTHINGTON of Florence SC did a horrible job on a Malaysian weave. She was very nice and professional. She made me feel so comfortable as if I was a long time client. She did my Malaysian weave perfect and took out almost a half a bundle of hair that was not needed. I cried once I saw my hair because I was sooooooo happy! She willbe always and forever my new weavelogolist. read more

I've been going to this shop for about 3 or 4 years off an on to support an old classmate an over all I've been satisfied until about a month ago...I went in for a partial install (which is what I normally get) brand new bundles an noticed that she now had an assistant who braids the clients hair for her to speed up the process, however the pattern that she used was circular which the stylist never used before the assistant work was not tight at all, once the assistant completed the pattern the stylist began to install my weave an stated to me "I know you don't like your wefts cut!" I responded with "that is correct" *especially since I have brand new bundles* so the process contined , once the stylist reached the top of my head she stated "she would need to cut the wefts at the top" *which is understandable* I replied with "OK ." Once the install was complete she curled it an I was on my way. I noticed my hair was shedding excessively an I couldn't understand why (brand new hair) so about 3 weeks of the shedding I decided to take the install out, I discovered that 2 bundles of my hair was cut!!! Which explains the excessive shedding!! I was very disturbed an contacted the stylist (Gina) an told her what was going on an she stated "you said I could cut the wefs"I stated "I said you could cut the top not 2 bundles of my hair!!" Luckily the person that I purchased the hair from replaced the hair for me (thankful) an I went else where an got it installed! Bottomline -a stylist that charges what she charges (275 on up) should know how to install weave w/o cutting 2 bundles of wefts, secondly she needs to go back to doing the whole process herself, I believe the assistants braid pattern is the reason she had to cut up my hair. The stylist was a good installer which is why I continued to go back but not so good on the styling, which was OK because the foundation is everything!!! *its not always about the money it's about quality work!!* read more

After moving to the area, I researched stylists on Yelp. After reading all of the reviews, I decided to give Gina a try. I have now been going to Gina for almost a year, and I love her services. She only works on one client at a time so their is no one watching as you undergo your styling process. Additionally, she is open to creative. I wanted to try a new style that she had never done before and she was open to the ideal. The style turned out great!! Gina is an all around good person and stylist. read more

Fantastic!!!! I felt so horrible that I was almost an hour late but Gina was so understanding about it. She did an amazing job and was knowledgeable about hair extensions. She was the best, we had a great time talking like we were just hanging out. I'll definitely be back to get my beads moved up again! read more

Unfortunately I cannot give this place a positive review. Gina was very nice, unfortunately, personality is not what I paid her for. It was expensive and I do not recommend it if you have natural hair. I have natural hair and I went to Gina's for a protective weave after reading several positive reviews of Gina's work on yelp. The weave itched so badly, I wanted to rip it out of my scalp within a week, but did not because it cost almost $300. It took 5 hours for her to put it in and 2 hours to take out ( I went to another salon to have it removed because I no longer trusted her to touch my head.) The weave did not blend in well with my natural hair at all and was not flattering. It was a full closure and was unbearably hot. Verry, very hot, like an oven on my head. It was a horrible experience that I am certain to not try again. I am giving the one star because I felt Gina did not do a good job of looking at the texture of my natural hair and giving me advice about a weave that would blend in with my hair and fit my active lifestyle. Her advice to me probably should have been not to get a weave, but then that would not have been in her best interest. . . but I would have respected her. read more

Gina is the best! I am a first time client and Gina did a sew-in today. Let me just say that my hair has never looked better! I am African American with natural hair and Gina was able to blend my hair into the extensions seamlessly. I've already gotten so many compliment on my hair. Gina is professional, kind, and very talented. I am already looking forward to my next appointment with her! I strongly recommend her. read more

I started going to Gina about 4 or 5 months ago. I can honestly say that she is one of the most patient hair stylists I've ever been to. I did not know a lot about weaves/extensions when I first became a client, so she really had to hold my hand through everything and explain what she was doing. I really appreciate that. Her professionalism and technique keeps me coming back! I am really pleased with my new 'do :) read more
