What a gem of a human being and hair stylist. She listens, she is sensitive to your wishes, she is intelligent, well-spoken, kind. The place is quiet and relaxing without the annoying thumping loud music as at so many other salons. She did a perfect dry cut on my crazy wavy mop for $50 (of course I gave her a generous tip). Really a gem. So glad my neighbors recommended her! Thank you Mesu. I'll be back soon. read more

I scheduled an appointment, no problem. Received a call a few hours beforehand that they wanted to move it back thirty minutes, also fine. Then I drive over, park in DTSS, go in... and they cancel it all together! I thought they were kidding but no. The other haircut I had here was quick and efficient and I had been overall pleased with the place. but who cancels on you after you've already shown up?! read more

I used to go to Headlines, but had to switch after it closed because the new owner ran it into the ground. Spa Mesu has been a more than worthy replacement. Consuelo has cut my hair three times and all have been great. She's attentive and cuts it exactly how I want, and the hair wash is so relaxing. The price is also more than fair. I'll be back. Good place. read more

My partner and I just moved to the area, and have been looking for a new salon. Enter Spa Mesu, our new go to place for all our hair and spa needs. My experience at Spa Mesu was exception from the moment I stepped in the door. Mesu warmly greeted me and offered a beverage. She listened attentively to what I was looking for in my new hair style, and offered very keen insights and suggestions. We had a great chat while Mesu cut and styled my hair (she is super warm and friendly). I love the result, it is better than I could have imagined! The other stylist across the way also seemed friendly and skilled (her client's hair looked beautiful). I am thrilled to have found a great new salon for us! read more

The only place I go for a men's haircut. Consuela is the best. Good service, nice environment, convenient location.

Mesu does a fantastic job of cutting and styling my hair! My husband loved getting his hair cut by Consuelo, and he was really picky.

My 8 year old daughter and I both have had our hair cut at Mesu. I have additionally stopped by at other times to ask questions. Everyone has always been very nice and the service has always been excellent. read more

A wonderful place. Mesu has been terrific at making me look great. And customer service is fabulous. I love coming here.

I was given a Spa Mesu gift card for Christmas 2021. Unfortunately, when I reached out to book a facial I was told that right now they were only offering hair services (Covid-19). However, Mesu was amazingly accomodating and said that she would happily send me a check for the amount of my gift card so that I could find a facial service elsewhere. I didn't even have to ask - she offered that proactively. She sent the money out same day! I had to write a review because that kind of customer service should be celebrated. read more

Loved my haircut by Consuela. Highly recommended and great prices.

Because my bestie's hair always looks so good, when my stylist left the area, I asked for the contact info for my bestie's hair stylist. As she texted me the number she said, "Oh, I LOVE Mesu!" Now I understand her enthusiasm. I had the best hair styling and color treatment I've had in decades! Spa Mesu offers top-notch services in a serene, calming atmosphere. And the spa offers a full range of spa treatments at reasonable prices. Highly recommended! read more

With one exception, this was the best haircut OF MY LIFE. I am going on 10 weeks since the cut (going in this week). It was a gorgeous cut and grew out beautifully. When I pull it into a ponytail, it STILL looks like the ends were just cut yesterday. I was referred to mesu by my dentist, and holy crap am I glad I listened. This woman is a true artist. She sized up my hair, asked me in depth questions about the look I wanted and how I'd be planning to wear it...and she went to work! She layered and snipped and shaped, and then washed, and went through it again...doing one last round of angling and texturing my bangs again when my hair was dry again. It was the most thorough, careful haircut I've ever had. I don't think I had one hair even a centimeter off. And...there isn't anything I can even say about the color...see the pics for yourself. All I can say is I received more compliments over the last two months than for all my cut-n-colors combined. Be prepared to be in there a good two hours easy for cut and color....she does NOT rush you...and she keeps trimming until it lays and falls and swings just right. I have found my stylist for as long as I live in the DMV. Period. read more

Spa Mesu - Gorgeous color recommended by mesu - Hair Salons Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

See all

I originally came in on a Saturday around 2pm as a walk-in. They were unable to accommodate walk-ins because there was only one stylist that day. So I made an appointment, something I never do for hair. I'm the type of person who really only wants a haircut with no shampoo or blow dry or anything, which is apparently odd. But I made an appointment for the whole thing because i was in need of pampering. Mesu, the owner, did my cut, shampoo, and blow dry. We had a really good conversation, she offered me hot herbal tea, and she gave me a fabulous little scalp massage during the shampooing. I felt as if all the weight of the world was melting off me as she massaged my head. Mesu is very knowledgeable about hair and I received probably one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten. She cut my hair while it was dry (before the wash) which is something you don't often see. And a plus, we were the only ones in the salon so you really feel like you're being personally taken care of. I left feeling glamorous and pampered!!! A bit pricey at $75 but I think I'll definitely be back just because the customer service by Mesu was absolutely amazing. read more

If you want a pixie cut, come here! I wanted to chop off my shoulder length hair into a fun pixie cut for the summer. Mesu was awesome about adapting the pictures I provided into a cut that suited my face and my wavy hair. She spent some serious time focusing on how my waves laid and making sure I ended up a cut that looked amazing with almost no styling needed. Also, she gives fantastic head massages and the tea she serves is delicious. read more

Consuelo did a fantastic job with my cut and color. Just moved to the area and was looking for a reliable salon. Highly recommend Spa Mesu.

My 4 stars go to Mesu herself. Knowing my love for massages, my friend gave me a gift certificate to Spa Mesu. Although they list massages in their services, they never got a person in a year. Finally, Mesu kindly extended my gift certificate, and as the extension was about to expire I gave up and decided to get my hair done instead. I got coloring and haircut by a stylist that I cannot remember the name of. She was supposed to color my hair in a simple brown, and instead gave me orange roots. Her explanation was the heat of my scalp. Mesu noticed as I was talking to her and told me to come back. She fixed my hair free of charge and apologized. She is a wonderful lady but probably needs to revise her list of services and be careful with the stylists she hires. read more

I went to Spa Mesu looking to get a balayage done and it will be a decision I will regret for the rest of my life. DO NOT GO HERE FOR A BALAYAGE! After spending 9 hours at the salon, and having dye continuously added to my hair to "fix" the initial dye job, my once healthy hair is damaged beyond repair. I ended up having to dye my entire head of hair a color similar to my natural color just so I could walk out of there looking slightly presentable. The reason I was getting my hair done was for my wedding that is happening in a week and Mesu completely ruined my hair. I will not be back and I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Called - they don't have voicemail, emailed - no response. And they don't take walk-ins... not sure how you're supposed to get an appointment. read more

I was excited to come here after reading other reviews. I asked for the 50$ shampoo, cut, and blow dry advertised online and explained I wanted some longer layers and a trim. The description of the service is misleading, it's $50 to have a shampoo and a hair cut. It's $25 extra to have your hair blow dried with a round brush. At the end of the experience my hair looked nothing like the image I showed the stylist or what we verbally agreed on. It's the worst layers I've ever had. To her credit, the stylist tried to make the cut look better and eventually used a round brush on my hair (free of charge) because it looked so bad. read more

Consuelo did a great job with my undercut and a trim. Will definitely be back here!

Bravo Spa Mesu! You are a high-end, high class salon with wonderful prices and service. I needed Spa Mesu and didn't realize it until I sat and relaxed while drinking Ethiopian coffee (cinnamon, cloves, etc infused) and let Mesu treat me well. My cut is quite short, spiky, and unusual - Mesu had a blast with it - even telling me how she's seen me in the neighborhood and had admired my hair and look. There is no question - I have found my new local hairstylist - woo hoo! read more

Aleesha did my manicure and Rashida did my facial. Loved it! Ambiance: Very relaxing, spacious, and clean. The manicure was so nice! They have an ok selection of colors to choose from and the entire process took almost (if not more) a full hour. Aleesha was absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable about nail care, took her time, and gave me some really good nail maintenance tips. I will definitely be back to see her! My hour long facial was also a great experience. Rashida was very gentle and gave me a skin analysis and some helpful recommendations for my skin type. My skin looked great and it still feels awesome. Sidenote: They offered tea or coffee and the coffee was a cinnamon and herbs blend and it may have been the best coffee I've ever had. You have to try it! Loved this spa and I'll be back soon! read more

I went to Spa Mesu and Consuelo took care of me last Friday. I was not sure if she was able to help me cause my hair was a mess thanks to my last visit to a different hair salon where they burnt my hair. My head was divided in two sections, up my real color and down an ugly white-yellow-ish blond. It was breaking and falling off. Consuelo colored the blond-ish part and added some thin highlight on the top, cut a bit (couple of inches maybe less) and the result was amazing!! She really did a great job, even the boss was surprised of the final result. The price was a bit high for me, but taking into account all the work and the results, I found it fair enough. I highly recommend this place. And I am very picky choosing the person who is gonna take care of my hair, so I would not recommend any bad stylist to anyone. I will show you the results I got in Spa Mesu despite I do not like to show photos of myself hehe. read more

I've been driving by Mesu forever, but I stopped in for the first time yesterday when I needed my eyebrows done (or really, repaired) for a photo shoot. Paige is WONDERFUL - precise, communicative, and very, very sweet! Made my poor overplucked brows look like they belonged to someone human, and told me I could stop by for complimentary spot plucking in between waxes. Also, Mesu is really gorgeous inside. And they have a fantastic policy of offering free haircuts to anyone out of work who's prepping for a job interview. Love the spirit of this place. read more

SPA MESU IS THE BEST!!! Décor/ambiance and classy touch. The energy and atmosphere is superb...soothing music. I drive by the salon/spa frequently and I always had meant to google this place. Since 2014, I had read reviews and visited the website...and kept telling myself I was going to make an appointment. FINALLY!!! 2015: I contacted the salon on July 18, 2015, to schedule an appointment...I was able to be seen the same day at 2:30pm. I arrived 20 minutes before my appointment and when I walked in the energy was beaming to me...positive reinforcement, beautiful paint colors, lavish décor, beautiful art on the walls..white hand towels in the restroom I was REALLY impressed with the clean atmosphere and clean salon/spa. I was greeted by the receptionist and she offered me tea, coffee, or water...I chose the water and remind you it was HOT out there today. The receptionist came back with my water in a glass...NICE...I was impressed again. She had me complete a questionnaire in regards to your skin/nails. I apologize to the receptionist, I did not get her name but she was very polite and nice. She informed me that Tasha would be with me shortly... Ms. Mesu (owner) greeted me as well and told me that she was the lady on the phone that scheduled my appointment...I remembered her voice...she was so pleasant on the phone as well as in person. She informed me that Tasha would be providing the service for my Manicure/Pedicure. While I was patiently waiting...I kept looking at my feet thinking that they were WAY OUT DATED! My feet were tired some swelling and who knows what else. Just a few minutes later...I was greeted by Tasha (Nail Technician)...her smile and warm embrace was welcoming...I went in with rough...cracked feet, yellow bleached toes from cheap quality nail polish that had made my toe nails so hard and yellow and even cracks on my toe nails. My heels were rough, janky, cuticles were damaged and down into and under some of my toe nails...my feet were tore down...all jacked up... WOW, wow, wow, did Tasha not take my feet back to brand NEW! It was like she gave me new feet..my feet are soft now, nails are clean and immaculate conception...toe nails are so pure and white...just like they are supposed to be and look. I truly tell you she takes her time and she is a creative masterpiece in what she does. She applies the nail polish like an artist...smooth bright radiance colors and nails polish and feet on are point. NO DOUBT! Manicure is top notch...this is top shelf here! Superior quality...my Manicure/Pedicure looks like the pictures in the magazine. Every two weeks I will be a frequent client... See you in two weeks, Tasha thank you! Tasha you are the best! Ms. Mesu you are like my mom...love your salon/spa is so warm and inviting. read more

Where to begin... I originally came here for a waxing with Paige. She's an absolute delight and very professional. The room where she performs services is clean, quiet, and essential oils infused! Paige knows a lot about holistic medicine which was a pleasant surprise. She's a great conversationalist if you like to talk during your appointments but would also respect your privacy if you're on the shy side. My service was exceptional; she didn't miss a single hair and really took her time. You can tell she pays attention to detail. I came back again because she did such a wonderful job the first time and received the same exceptional service as the first time which is so rare to find. The second time I came back I also had my nails done by Tasha. BOOK HER ASAP of you live in the SS area. Just, wow. It's the best manicure I've ever gotten. I seriously don't know how she did such a great job but she thoroughly impressed me. My manicure lasted well over 2 weeks without chipping and as someone who uses my hands a lot I was impressed. I came back a second time which is rare for me. COME HERE!! read more

Tasha is a great technician. She knows nails and believes in healthy nails. She takes her time so give yourself time when making an appointment. She is not there to get you in and out but to give you a high end service. read more

I hate getting my hair cut--I just don't like sitting still at someone else's mercy I guess. And as a first-time mom with very little time, I just wanted to get it over with. I'm experiencing postpartum hair loss so my hair is even more difficult to deal with and it was finally time. The positive yelp reviews steered me here and luckily Daechele was there to give my hair a well-needed cut and TLC. The place is light and airy-feeling. Plus the owner stopped by to chat - so nice! My first visit won't be my last. read more

Tamisha is amazing! If I can help it, I'll never get a wax any place else. They took me as a walk in, it hardly hurt, and it's affordable.

I have been going to Spa Mesu for about five years now, and I absolutely love it. Of course I love it for the obvious reasons- there is a great laid-back-but-relaxing atmosphere, the head massage while shampooing is great, and I always get a great cut (I have seen Mesu and Consuelo) at a totally reasonable price (my cut and shampoo today was $45), but I also love it for a few reasons beyond that. First, it is locally owned by an absolutely wonderful woman (as you may guess by the name, Mesu is the owner). It is also incredibly convenient (walkable from my house and the silver spring metro), and offers free cuts to people going in for job interviews who can't afford to pay. All of these things combine to make me proud to be a long time Spa Mesu client. I highly recommend heading to Spa Mesu for your next service! I am looking forward to trying their skin and nail care soon. read more

Mesu is wonderful! She really listens to what you want and makes sure you're happy with the finished look.

Best pedicure I've ever had, and I've had a lot. Tasha was amazing, kind and did an incredible job. First of all, the spa itself is lovely, inviting and calming. They use great products, not your typical manicure products in the generic bottle. Tasha is a skilled technician who not only gives a great pedicure but is very kind as well. My feet have never looked and felt so good. I'm only going here from now on and you should too. read more

Spa Mesu is very closely following COVID-19 guidelines and has always been an immaculate and beautifully decorated salon. Mesu is also an outstanding hair stylist and person, who is always kind, professional, and demonstrates true hospitality by treating you with your favorite beverage while receiving services. I highly recommend Spa Mesu to new customers for high quality salon services in a comfortable and relaxing setting. read more

Begrudgingly writing this review because I'm selfish and I want to be able to get appointments but for Mesu I have to. Mesu is the sweetest little lady you ever want to see. She's always smiling, always welcoming, always cute. She's the type of woman you want to grow into as we get up in age. Oh and she runs a fabulous business! Located on Fenton street right in the hustle and bustle,but when you want in the place is quiet and still. You totally forget about that traffic that can be backed up on Fenton or nearby Georgia ave. You're always welcomed with a smile and great beverage options: cranberry juice & ginger ale combo, herbal tea (ridiculously good) or water. I've come for hair service before and Consuelo is great. They also use a great bowl to wash you hair where you tilt your head slightly back instead of almost breaking your neck to put your head deep down in a bowl. If you have a medium to large head like me, you really can appreciate this. What I come for most often is Ms. Tasha for a manicure/pedicure. Tasha has really changed the way I do things in terms of nails because she's fabulous and knowledgeable. You see I used to be a cheap skate, scurrying the town for that $25-$30 mani/pedi deal where yes I leave with freshly polished nails but the experience is less than relaxing. One trip to Tasha in August of 2015 based on a glowing review from another Yelper and I have not deviated from her since. The mani/pedi is affordably priced, more than the run of the mill nail salons, but the quality is like NOTHING I've ever seen before. One pedicure from Tasha and my pedicure lasts a month (not kidding). More importantly Tasha is actually concerned about the health of my nails. She strongly suggested that I go without polish on my toe nails, including clear polish, during the winter months. After several months of her mentioning this and detailing the importance for health reasons I did it- no toe nail polish for the first time since high school! The struggle was real but I saw the results for sure. My nails have never been longer or stronger, like ever, and I'm obsessed with my nails. Tasha uses high quality products, is meticulous when it comes to detail and is a pleasure to talk to. I look forward to seeing her every month because she's so sweet and really talented when it comes to healthy nails. Plus when I leave there I've had a nice tea, actually relaxed and my nails look amazing. Tasha is worth a trip to this salon any day! read more

Mesu is amazing. Gentle, talented. I relax as soon as I enter her salon, and always leave feeling renewed and beautiful.

My friend knew I was looking for a new hair stylist and recommended Salon Mesu and Mesu for a haircut. Mesu took one look at my hair and knew exactly what I needed. She gave me a haircut that I loved and as my hair grows bacK it will fall into place perfectly. The salon is very serene and super clean. The cost of the service was reasonable. I will come back every 8 -12 weeks . This was a pleasant surprise. read more

This was a pleasant surprise. I only found out about them via spa week and I'm glad I came. It's a peaceful full service salon (massage, nails, wax, facial, hair). The atmosphere is nice and clean with soothing music. I got a full body massage (very relaxing, the pressure was not to hard, the room was pretty quite, I wanted to fall asleep) and a mani/pedi (equally awesome, my feet feel super smooth they were rough going in) I also got a paraffin treatment which helped. Both the nail technician and the massage therapist were very friendly and professional. Although I got a deal for spa week the regular prices are very affordable and I will be going back! read more

Spa Mesu is a lovely salon conveniently located in downtown Silver Spring. I had Mesu as my stylist for a cut and blow dry and she did a fantastic job. This is the second time I've been there and both times I was very pleased with the outcome. Mesu is a true professional - kind and courteous and excellent at her craft. She truly listens and delivers what you want, but she is not afraid to tell you if a particular style or cut will not look good with your hair type. I love her and this salon! read more

I went to Salon Mesu because it is close to my house and received good reviews. My haircut was with Consuela who didn't talk at all, but that is fine with me. I asked her to cut my hair shorter in the back and longer in the front at about chin length. She seemed to have been confused and gave me a mullet. Not only did I have a mullet, but she cut the mullet differently on either side of my head! It was two different haircuts. I didn't completely realize this until I went home and inspected it. I called Salon Mesu and asked if I could please come back in and have it fixed. They were very nice and Consuela attempted to fix it, but to no avail. At least it was a little more even between the two sides and the mullet wasn't as drastic, but it was still uneven and not at all what I asked for. I ended up going to another salon to have it fixed. read more

I've had several haircuts with Mesu and she does a wonderful job. She consults with me about what I want, listens before ever washing or pulling out scissors. After my cut, if I feel pieces need extra trimming, she is willing to listen to me, and give me the perfect haircut I want. She's also doing my hair for my wedding, and I completely trust her with my style. In addition to a great cut, they are always professional, never pushy, provide me with a great cup of tea. I love going to Spa Mesu as it is the most relaxing day of my month. read more
