Who would have guessed it's in Bowie?! I stumbled upon this shop and Diane has been doing my hair for over 2 years now. I look back at my "pre-Diane" photo's and cringe at my hair (at the time I thought it was good - but now I know better!) I have very naturally curly hair and I finally took the plunge and had Diane give me the all-natural keratin treatment. I can't tell you what a god-send this has been! It literally saves me over 30 minutes each morning - yep... each morning! The best part is people actually comment on how nice my hair looks - and some even go so far as to say it makes me look younger - who doesn't love that compliment?! The true test came when I suggested my 20yr old daughter give Diane a twirl... she did and yep - my daughter loved her cut too. So much so that now she schedules an appointment at Wow U Salon when she comes into town. Trust me ladies... save yourself time, money and frustration. Go to Wow U Salon and I promise your friends and family will say "Wow U look fantastic."

I came in with waist-length hair and asked to have 4-6 inches removed. During the consultation, I…read morewas told the final length would still be past my shoulders, but I left with shoulder-length hair in a blunt cut, which was much shorter than discussed. The entire wash and cut appointment lasted about 20 minutes and there was very little consultation about how I wear my hair or what shape I wanted the cut to have. With thick hair, a blunt shoulder cut leaves the hair very heavy and difficult to manage. I did try to address my concerns after the appointment and Diane later offered a refund, which I appreciate, but the experience itself was still very disappointing given how much length was removed compared to what we discussed.

I absolutely love the outcome of my hair!

I was looking for a braid shop closer to home and I stumbled upon Donan Hair Braiding. I did my…read moreonline investigation and then contacted the owner via text to inquire about the price for medium sized Senegalese twists. I was quoted $180 which includes the hair. I inquired about the 25% off discount for new clients listed on Yelp and was informed that they can no longer offer it due to the impact of Covid. I received a confirmation text after booking my appointment with new Covid guidelines including wearing a mask and no use of blow dryers in the shop. The day before my appointment, I received a text reminder as well as a Covid screening questionnaire. I requested to receive a braider with a gentle touch and was ensured that I would. The day of my appointment, my braider was a few minutes late but the owner contacted me to let me know that she was running behind. However, when she arrived, she sanitized, put on PPE and began preparing to do my hair. Amy, my braider, started my hair at 9:30am and was finished around 1:30pm. It was just the two of us until about 12pm when another braider and customer arrived. At the end of the service, I was quoted $185 which was $5 more than the original quote but it wasn't too big a deal. The braids were a bit tight but manageable and I had to return the next day to fix one of the twists that was loose. I contacted the owner, Josie, who gave me an appointment for the next morning to fix the braid. The owner has great customer service and works hard to ensure that you have a great experience. Overall, I had a good experience at Donan Hair Braiding.

I have been given different pricing at the register for the same service I received 3 times. I had to ask why the price is different the to other 2 times I was there. We agreed to a price I was willing to pay. Lack of transparency in pricing seems to be common in braiding salons.
