As a person with curly hair, I'm always wary when I go to a new salon, since it can be surprisingly…read morehard to find stylists who know how to work with curls (and don't charge extra for them). Having just moved to the DC area, I took a chance on Plane Jane, and I'm delighted to report that Amanda gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I asked for a '20s-style bob, and she did a thorough consultation before getting started. I had booked a silent appointment, which she respected, but she checked in periodically to make sure I was satisfied with how the haircut was proceeding. It's now been over a week since the cut and my hair still looks great and is easy to style. I'll definitely be going back!

What made the experience even better was how kind and personable everyone was. While I was waiting, Fred noticed I was tired and actually let me relax for a few minutes in one of the massage chairs, which I thought was really thoughtful. It's a family-run business, and you can really feel that warm atmosphere. His wife was there, I met his daughter, and even their beautiful dog Ginger made the place feel extra welcoming. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Fred is professional, friendly, and clearly cares about his customers. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

The salon has moved from their old address to the bottom of the 7500 Old Georgetown Road. The old…read moresalon was well-marked, the new one was much harder to find. The haircut was good but it was very hard to get in touch with them to find the door. The website still has the old address on the map, so I walked around Bethesda and almost did a walk-in appointment at a different salon. Once I was inside it was a nice experience. You can tell that they have a lot of regulars and good stylists.

That's a review for another day). My hair was so damaged, dry, and sad. I saw Bruno who was able to gently remove the old color, and put in a beautiful silvery lavender. I've seen him a bunch since then for haircuts, baliyage (or however you spell it), color, cut and a Brazilian blowout (chemical straightening, NOT the other kind of Brazilian.) I'm always so happy with my services, and they guarantee their work and will correct color if asked within 2 weeks. Bruno is amazing. He always gives me sick (a la 90s parlance) color. I usually get fantasy/unicorn colors and his actually last (which NEVER happens with purple). Plus, he's so nice! Y también, si hablas Español, puedes chismear juntos! Honestly, everyone there is personable and they work as a team. One of their owners, Kao, is very nice and professional, their master colorist, Crystal, has never steered us wrong, and Diana, at the front desk, is a GEM.

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.

Where I used to go the color would always stain my forehead (even when she would apply Vaseline or whatever) and the answer I would get was.."that's just the color and can't avoid it", maybe it could just be the brand they use. Anyway, Kara is very careful and I never have stains around my face after she colors. She has a good eye and knows exactly what to do and she LISTENS. My hair was damaged and I didn't really have a good cut so It has been a journey but I have to say that my hair now has a great style for my face and is so healthy. I really feel that she is on this journey with me and I love that. As for the salon, it's very clean, I love the vibe, and the girls at the front desk are polite and helpful.

But it'd be remiss of me to not give a shout-out to Chenelle, who has garnered so much of my trust with her cut, highlighting, and coloring skills over the past few years. The low-key transformations she's given to my hair always grow out beautifully, and she's fixed two unfortunate haircuts that I've gotten elsewhere while traveling. Logistics-wise, street parking can be competitive but there's a parking garage just a block away. I love that I can see availability online and book at-will. They basically have a loyal customer for life out of me, even though I no longer live as conveniently close as I used to!

My friend took me across the street to Salon Gerard to fix it, and despite me not having an appointment, Chenelle stayed late to trim my hair to fix the unevenness and cliffs and expertly calmed me down as I was still in shock. I really miss my long hair, but Chenelle styled it so well that I was not completely distraught and even gave me tips on how to preserve the blowout. She's not only highly talented as a stylist but also incredibly empathetic and reassuring in stressful situations. I would recommend her to everyone.
