Whether you want a short, trendy hairstyle, or want to have hair installed, Richar will have you looking and feeling like a million dollars. All the stylists are friendly and I've been impressed with the work I've seen all of them do. If you are searching for a stylist, I HIGHLY recommend Bev & Co (Richar in particular). You will not be disappointed.

Capable of accepting patrons on a walk-in or by-appointment basis. Cash payments are preferred but…read morethere is a $5 charge if you opt to pay using your credit card. Not a lot of fanfare with decor and I found the lighting to be a bit dim but it didn't impair the braiders. There's a single television that loudly broadcasts religious content or African movies that I found to be easy to follow along with the plot. Thus far, two different ladies braided my hair. I complimented a lady in the grocery store and she gave me their business card. Their prices are lower than some other braid salons I've gone to and there aren't a lot of people waiting around. It appears that they have shampoo bowls if you want them to wash your hair before braid services. However, for many protective styles, I recommend you wash your hair thoroughly, deep condition to avoid damage. A braiding gel is applied but speak up if you feel like too much is being added making your hair feel bogged down by product. Many have issues with the parting of the hair, again, speak up and ask to see what's going on so that you're happy with your style. The lady who braided my hair had one braid higher than the others and when I pointed it out to her, she accommodated me without debate. DO NOT wait until the very end to complain about your hair if you've been watching all along. It's unfair to the braider and it can be resolved by pointing out what you're unhappy about. I would come back here to get my hair braided again as I have been pleased thus far. Take a photo of the style to help with your braid vision.

My daughter made an appointment with this salon by phone. The conversation with the person who…read moreanswered was relatively detailed because my daughter wanted to know if the had ombré hair. I heard the conversation. Yet, when we arrived on Saturday morning at 9:00, the "owner" was rude and said "When did you call?" The "owner" had total disregard for a potential customer; in fact, what we received was close to eye rolling. She apparently had not documented the appointment or gave it to someone else. We received no apology or any attempt to give my daughter another appointment. I guess they don't need the business. They surely won't ever get ours.

If you have locs, this is THE place to be!…read more Service: 10/10 - Kerri has been doing my hair for a little over two years now, and she never misses. Every single visit I leave saying "You did your BIG ONE, Kerri!!! " -- and this time was no different. I showed her a picture of the style I wanted and she delivered it exactly. No guessing, no compromises, just results. I have longer locs, so my appointment ran about 3 hours (shampoo, retwist, style, and dry time included) -- which is actually pretty quick for my length and services. Just keep in mind your time may vary depending on hair length and what you're getting done. I also had zero wait time, which I always appreciate. Chair-side manner: 10/10 - Now, Kerri's chair-side manner is truly something special. I've been to a lot of stylists over the years, and her personality and the way she makes you feel just hits different. I also want to shout out Torae, Tajae, and Freda -- both have shown me excellent service as well. This shop is full of talent. Vibes: 10/10 - The atmosphere is everything -- welcoming, cultural, clean, and just peaceful. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable about locs, and professional. They offer beverages and books to keep you comfortable, and they even send out newsletters with loc care tips, shop events, and local happenings. Little touches like that show they genuinely care about their clients beyond the chair. Overall: 10/10 - I've visited one other loc-centered salon in the DMV, and this one is in a league of its own. Every time I come back I can see the shop growing and leveling up in how they serve their clients. 10/10. Been coming here for years and I'm not going anywhere. Peace & Blessings, -Key

Seriously, I'm surprised how hard it has been to find someone who can color your hair and care for it in the DMV area. And let me say this...I am not the girl who likes to sit in the hair salon all day. If that's you, this is the place. She gets you in and out. Every time I come out of her salon, I get so many compliments! The shop is cute too. Very relaxing and friendly. C'Marie makes you feel welcome and has just the perfect balance of professional and familiar. Make an appointment, I promise you won't be disappointed.

I called Braids by Aminah on Friday night, AFTER hours, and left a message, Aminah called me back…read moreimmediately. She made an appointment for me, accommodating my schedule. As soon as I arrive, she assessed my hair and started the braiding process. She was professional, quick, efficient, and soft-handed. This was the first time I did not feel as if my scalp was being pulled from my head. I went through cancer treatment and my hair grew back except in one very noticeable spot. Aminah braided my hair so that that spot is covered. I've never been happier. She is a master of her craft. If you are looking for professionalism and someone to braid your hair, look no further, Braid by Aminah is the place to be! The shop is beautifully decorated and SHE HAS SNACKS! Thank's Aminah. I appreciate you!

I asked her if I could come on Wednesday, June 3rd, and she said yes. I am leaving to go out of the country on Thursday, June 4th. This appointment was very important to me. I arrived this morning right on time, but Aminah was not there. There were three women who was there in the shop. One of them called Aminah and informed her I was there. I spoke with Aminah and she informed me that "Binta" was going to do my hair. I responded, "Okay, no problem." Binta told me to sit in her chair. I showed her the style and she said, " I don't know how to do that style" She called Aminah back, and I guess she explained she couldn't do it (speaking French). Sidebar: if it involves me, please speak English. After speaking with Aminah, Binta said, Aminah said she can't come. I asked why she didn't call or text me, but nobody responded. Now I'm riding round looking for someone to braid my hair. TRUST ME, IF YOU HAVE ANYWHERE IMPORTANT TO GO, DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AMINAH; she is neither professional nor reliable.
