The Shop Salon opened a new location. It is in downtown Bethesda off of Old Georgetown Road. It is…read moredesigned with beautiful, with a blend of bold colors, including black, white, and pink. Since, this salon was just renovated everything's brand new. I like the open air and modern concept. I am now familiar with the parking and directions to get to the building. It was a little tricky at first. But, my favorite part of the salon is my stylist, DK. He is an expert professional and does a precise job with cutting and styling my hair. I love the way my hair looks, feels, and it is really easy to take care of. So, beautiful new salon, my favorite stylist-DK, ... I will see you again in 4 weeks. Please note, The Shop Salon pictures on their site need to be updated. I am including my recent pictures. They reflect the way the salon looks and in real time. I hope they get the chance to reflect on the changes, especially since they are so much nicer, than their last location.

This place is a fixture in Wheaton and yet it took me 30 years to come here! I still don't know…read morewhat made me want to go blonde (though I feel like everyone imagines it at one point) but: 1) turning 30, 2) COVID crisis, and 3) having to postpone my wedding 3 times due to said COVID crisis were reasons enough. I made an appointment in September 2020 with Amanda (just looked on the website for a stylist) and prepared to go blonde. She had looked over the photos I sent and we spoke and came to a better idea of what I wanted/could achieve. I had about 3 years' worth of box dye on my head (2 inches of roots) and my natural color is a Level 2, the box dye put me at maybe Level 3 or 4. The process was long but that was to be expected and Amanda very thorough - hair is her passion and it shows! We got halfway to where I wanted to be in that session and she recommended me some products (that I bought and then later purchased again on my own - Kerastase, why does everything you make have to smell SO good?!?!) I've since gone twice more to get to the level of blonde I want (the lightest parts are basically Level 9 now!) I know there are bound to be people who complain about something, anything about the process but I don't have a single complaint. It's a given that such a huge transformation will take a long time and while my little tailbone is dead at the end, these stylists have had their arms up, standing and working for ~6 hours so us clients can have gorgeous hair! Amanda is super professional and personable - I can trust her with my hair and she's always willing to make things right (the first time the toner was too light it washed out almost immediately and she saw me the day after to get it a bit darker so it would fade better, at no charge). Plus, she has the best recommendations for restaurants in the county!

This was my first time at this salon, but not my first visit with Morgan! She's new to the salon &…read moreI followed with. HIGHLY recommend her. She always takes her time and is super meticulous, her attention to detail is so dope. My hair is very blonde but she keeps it so healthy! She's super honest and is very helpful if you're looking for product recommendations but never pushy to have you try things. I like my hair blunt cut and I'm always super happy with the cut as well. I can't say enough, she's a super kind person and a very talented stylist.

I've been three times now for haircut and blow-dry services with multiple of their stylists who all have been excellent. I'm new to coloring my hair and tried to for the first time today with Jasmin.

I already booked my next appointment which says volumes because I've never had a hair salon that I loved so much to do that before walking out the door. Can't recommend AZNA enough!

He was thoughtful and understanding and understood my wants; including time to explain to me how to maintain it. After providing guidance to his kind assistant, Quinn, to take over from there, I was given exactly what I wanted (and all within an hour!). I am super happy with how it turned out and I'd go back for sure - but definitely with Carlos/Quinn directly next time! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I really wanted to love this salon because of all the glowing reviews, but unfortunately it was a miss for me. After showing a picture of my color choice to the hairstylist, I walked out much blonder than I had hoped and a super brassy shade. When I went back to fix it two days later, I was charged (semi understandable) and it was still wrong. I should have known it wasn't going to be a fit when I asked my stylist how she would find a perfect color for a client and her response was "tough question. I don't know". Sigh. Having said that, everyone is super nice; sadly, I just didn't get what I wanted out of the experience.

Hair color magician. That's Adriane!…read more All in all a great experience! With two teens and a business it's been hard to keep up with my hair. I had been looking for the right stylist for about 2 years and it felt impossible to find someone who could bring me back to blonde. Scheduling was easy. I met for a consult and was able to book for a week later. Day off everything went smooth. The space is decorated nicely, plenty of parking and the location is convenient. Pricing is average, but her attitude and demeanor will make you feel right at home. My husband kept complimenting on how fantastic my hair turned out thanks to Adriane.

This review was written the day after my hair was done but held off on posting until now because I…read morehate to leave the review because Tosha is fantastic but I have to based on how I feel about my hair after an appointment that took months of researching what I wanted and hours on end looking at and saving pics to make sure hairstylist was on the same page with what I wanted. My hair didnt look anything like my inspiration pics. Highights didn't go further than top of head area even though I was told that if I get balayage, it would be the only way to get the color I wanted from roots to ends based on some previous color on my ends..(I was trying to avoid bleach and have had my entire head colored the same reddish/copperish color in the past with no bleach but I was told it couldnt be done) From the getgo I was saying how my key priority was keeping my hair healthy- hence why I wanted badly to avoid bleaching after years of growing out my thick hair. I was recommended partial balayage was only way to get a color lift. The color was not what I wanted ! Hilights were not placed like I was hoping in my inspo pics -My hair still looked overall dark even though I mentioned wanting it to stand out a bit and look like I got my hair done at my event. I received absolutely no compliments for the first time after getting my hair done and for the first time did not post a pic after to my social media as I usually do when getting my hair done.Placement almost makes it seem like grown out highlights that need to be redone and I am fully aware of technique used in balayage to make it look dimensional and natural (I worked in salon and have spent A LOT of time watching this be done -painted on- and I have a good eye for what looks good ) Now Im stuck with bleached hair with tons of broken flyaways and a color I don't like after years of growing out my natural hair and paid almost $300 to not like my hair. I have been recovering from 2 really bad hair experiences in the last 5yrs so this was a big step.I asked if she could give me different shades of the color so it looks more dimensional and it was acknowledged but not done I guess to avoid mixing up two separate bowls of color. Color looked worn out and almost like Ive washed it many times..It looks like the color when you know you need to go get your hair done again. It did not pop even in the money piece area as the inspo pics I showed-Unfortunately, I do not like it. I also left with alot of gray hairs which I later noticed around my face and in head that stand out..exactly what you don't want when coming home from the salon. If I am going to pay that much I need to come home with no grays which was one of my first concerns at the hair appointment. That being said, I did not want to leave this review. Tosha was great. She did a very thorough consult and has experience in her craft. The cut was not not the best Ive gotten,first time a hairdresser had razered off my very thick hair instead of cutting. Could have been more even in framed front pieces..that part was done too fast with not much attention at the end to make sure everything lines up. Framed front pieces were two different lengths.Also doesn't look like much of an angle cut now that I came home to inspect..barely an angle which is what I wanted just like the pic I showed her of her previous customer which had a good angle. Overall it was just OK Im not happy with the color or the spacing of highlights or the thickness of them making it look like only front top area is all one color not much contrast in between and color not coming down to ends regardless of being bleached. Back doesn't show much of anything. After deciding to bleach my hair to get what I wanted, I did not get that and now Im in the beginning of the same process of having to start my journey of growing out my hair AGAIN in my 40s! I just washed it today for the first time and I was in tears after. After 4hrs of working trying to tame it the hair texture was crazy frizzy and not like my normal hair The only way I can see myself coming out of the house is if I use a straightener &use high heat every single time I wash!I can imagine what Ill look like this summer at the beach with hair getting wet and beach saltiness. I just wanted to love my hair! The very same night I came home from hair appt, I felt sad and every time I look in the mirror, I feel as if I have to make another hair appointment already. Saw alot of family/friends and no one liked it :( I hate to leave this review as I absolutely loved Tosha. She was sooper nice and sweet and kind and educated you while she worked. She styles great -Regardless of our long consult, I just think there was a miscommunication on what exactly I wanted/expected. I showed her pics so many times just to make sure we were on the same page. The experience with her was great though.
