Wow! I honestly can't say enough positive things about this place. Good thing I kept looking after my horrible experience last week at The Studio in DC. Night and day. This place was great. And only two blocks from my home. Stylist: AnaMaria Cons: Not one! Pros: 1) My appointment was scheduled for 3:30pm. There was a massive storm that day so at 12:00 I received a call from the salon. I just knew it was a call to cancel. Which I honestly would have understood. The receptionist was calling to see if I could come earlier. Ummmm, yeah! I arrived at about 12:45pm. I thought this was very thoughtful. 2) Upon entering the salon I was greeted by the receptionist who was very friendly. In fact EVERYONE was friendly!!! The entire staff was attentive. 3) I filled out a client card which I found to be an extremely nice touch. After a very short wait Ana came out and introduced herself. She took me to her chair and started her consultation. I told her about my experience last week. She looked, asked questions and listened. She told me exactly what she was going to do. Very good communication and extremely professional. 4) I got a basic wash, blow dry and style. The wash was great. And it came with a deep condition. The style was good as well. She had to cut my hair much shorter than it was but I didn't mind since I knew it was uneven and unhealthy looking. I like it a lot. Overall, this was a great experience. Ana was the consummate professional. The salon was clean and the services were top notch. The staff was friendly (I think I was offered a beverage about 5 times). And it seems like the focus is on hair care! I sooooo wish I found this place earlier. I'll be back for sure! read more

I absolutely love this salon; they treat you like family and roll out the "red carpet" with warm customer service, yummy snacks, and a "hip" and esthetically pleasing salon decor. I initially called/visited the salon, as I was in desperate need of a "makeover". I had been trying to grow my hair out, but it was taking a very long time - my hair tends to grow "out" vs. grow in length. Also, there were some areas where my hair was broken off - I felt very frumpy and unattractive. When I consulted with AnaMarie, she was extremely warm & she listened to me. I tried to explain what I wanted, but wasn't exactly sure. I just knew that I was not happy with the way I looked. I remember she said to me, "you want something edgy (spelling?), something with "zip". That was exactly correct- I couldn't explain what I wanted, but when she said that it resonated with me. Not only did she cut and style my hair where I was 100% satisfied, but she (and her staff) took the time to treat my lifelong "problem" scalp. Unbelievable!!!!!! Some of the salons I've been to in the past have either done a great job with styling my hair OR cleaning my scalp-not both. Edge Hair studio did / and continues to do both!!!!!!! Completely satisfied with the service here and you will be too. You must try one of their Botanical treatments, along with one of their natural color treatments. I definitely can say that I've gotten my "edgy/zip" and "sexy" back. Thank you AnaMarie, Jiselle, and the rest of the staff. Lea read more

I was looking for a salon that could help me tame my natural hair. I read some glowing reviews about the salon and the stylists so I decided to try it. The interesting thing is I've passed this salon many times and never noticed it. I went in and was greeted my a friendly young woman who asked me to fill out a client card. After a few minutes AnaMaria, master stylist, asked me sit in her chair and the magic began. I told her my struggle with my hair-dry and no shape. She listened to me then told me her recommendations. She is extremely knowledgeable about natural hair and how to take care of it. She suggested a cut that would compliment the shape of my face. I was so impressed by everything I saw and heard in that salon. The staff was friendly and professional in their treatment of the client and each other. The atmosphere is relaxing. The salon uses high quality hair products. I got the most flattering hair cut I've had in many years. I also bought the hair care products used on my head. She told me exactly how to use the products. I even got my eyebrows shaped and a young lady ( I didn't get her name but she's AnaMaria's daughter) used some concealer, blush and foundation on my face to open it up and highlight my cheeks. I got in there about 9:30 and left about 95 minutes later. The service, salon and staff are superior! They have made a new client-me! read more

First time ever at the salon and it was a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in. Originally I was only there accompanying and was sitting in the waiting area. I was offered some coffee/tea by a very friendly staff member. Shortly after another staff member asked if I wanted to get my eyebrows done by, Stacey. I hesitated for a moment, again, I was only there accompanying and although I needed to get them done, wasn't thinking about it. However the lady was so pleasant, not pushy (we all hate those type of people) that I quickly changed my mind. She did mention that "Stacey" was very good at it. I agreed to it and she quickly went back to notify her. Stacey was very friendly and got right to work. For a moment I felt like just getting up (we've all had jitters about getting our eyebrows messed up and walking out looking crazy!) but Stacey seemed very professional and in control. I decided to just go with it, closed my eyes and let it be. I was extremely impressed at how thorough she was. Again, it's my first time there so I don't know what I was expecting but I felt like she went above and beyond. Once it was all said and done, she offered a few tips and that was that. Needless to say, I'm PLEASED! I live far but now I know where to go if I need something done. Thank you, Stacey and the rest of the staff. read more

One word - Amazing!!! As a women of color It has been difficult finding a hair salon that styles your hair while also giving tips to maintain healthy growth. My inital appt was with Stacy and she was absolutely amazing. She provided a consultation and discussed prices BEFORE starting my hair. No pushy sales pitch and just genuine hair tips and recommendations. I was in and out rather quickly and was able to attend a dinner I had previously cancelled (because I thought I'd be in the salon for hoursss). Stacy discussed with me products I used at home, how much time I was willing to spend on my hair daily, gave me an amazing cut that I will spend minimal time maintaining each morning before work, and told me the name of each and every product she used on my hair during the visit. NEVER have I ever received this level of service at a hair salon. Even though this salon is 40 minutes away, it is well worth the drive. I've already recommended my sister to her with no reservations. Stacy thank you!!!! read more

Excellent Colors and Cuts After years of torturing my hair with DIY hair dyes, I ended up having 4-5 colors in my hair. (Aren't we all guilty of that ?!) My original hair color is dark brown; so naturally, it is quite challenging to go blonde. Because of this, I ended up having reds, browns, blondes in my hair, and most salons won't even touch it! After talking with a good friend who recommended The Edge, I decided to give it a try to get that one good, solid color and some nice thick bangs. Needless to say---they nailed it! The team was extremely patient and thorough during my consultation. In addition, they recommended the perfect shade to blend in all the colors I had in my hair. Oh, and, the bangs? They cut it almost as fast as a karate chop--- under 2 minutes, got a nice curve that compliments the shape of my face, and superb! Most importantly, it was exactly what I wanted! I couldn't thank these ladies for their excellent work: Ana Marie, Nara, and Sierra. I would definitely go back! read more

I had such a great first time experience at Edge salon! I moved into the area a couple of months ago from NJ, but found it hard to part ways with my hair stylist in NJ. I made the trips back and forth just to get my hair done. I finally decided to step out in faith and google a few salons near the silver spring area. I finally found Edge online and the remarkable reviews it received; especially for AnaMaria. I went in for my appointment today and couldn't have been more happier with the outcome. I went in for a relaxer touch up and a cut (I have short hair(. AnaMaria took the time to sit down with me to discuss my hair health and what I liked and disliked about my hair. She uses products that match perfectly with your hair type! My hair felt so soft and healthy when I left. The opposite of what it was when I walked in there. All I can say is exceptional service! It's a professional and friendly environment and AnaMaria took me right away! I would highly recommend this salon to anyone! read more

Need a refreshing change? The Edge and AnaMaria is the way to go! Ana has been my stylist for over 5 years and I have yet to be disappointed. Trust me when I say my hair has been through it all. She has cut, colored, permed and weaved my hair. I'm now natural and Ana is still taking very good care of me. I have never missed a fashion beat. She is absolutely amazing!!! She does my daughter's hair and when my mom and my sister visit from Florida, The Edge is a definite on their list of places to visit. Not only is the salon beautifully furnished, the service prompt and professional, but the staff treats you like family. Ana is an excellent stylist who is also concerned about the health of your hair. Everything used on your hair can be purchased in the salon. Treat your hair AND yourself...make an appointment today and visit AnaMaria at The Edge Hair Studio. read more

I relocated to the area about 2 months ago. After having the same hair-stylist for over 15 years, I was very apprehensive about finding a new one. I searched online came across The Edge. I emailed the staff and received a phone call very soon after. I scheduled an appointment for a consultation, and ended up getting service done on the same day. Words cannot express how happy I am. The staff was welcoming from the moment I stepped into the shop. The consultation with AnaMaria made me feel very, very comfortable. She listened to my concerns and was very genuine. Weizei was like magic at the shampoo bowl! I am a black female with natural hair (no relaxer in almost 3 years) so it's very difficult for me to trust just anyone with my hair. After just one visit, I trust The Edge. Very professional staff! Great vibes! Beautiful shop! read more

Aside from the absolutely beautiful hair and style I left the salon with, I will just list the many things that set The Edge apart from all other salons. The bright and stylish lobby. The professional and friendly greeting at the front desk. The cleanliness. The fresh smell. The expert stylist/owner's consultation and product education. The punctuality. The refreshments that were offered. The background music. The smiles and laughs. The warm and accommodating attention. Even being escorted across the very busy University Blvd for my safety when I left he salon (this does not happen anywhere else). I can't say enough about Ana Maria and her Dream Team of The Edge...thank you for being so special and talented and I wish you all many years of growth and success in the Beauty Industry. Take It Over!!!!! read more

Ever left a hair salon feeling like you could do a better job on your own? That was my reality until I found the The Edge Hair Studio, where a quality experience from start to finish really gives this salon the edge. Making my appointment was hassle-free! I was greeted warmly at the reception and offered a beverage while waiting. Shortly after, my amazing stylist Stacy took the time to analyze my hair, gave me a great relaxer, a thorough trim and style. Master stylist Ana Maria assisted with finishing touches, pin-curling my hair and shaping my eyebrows to perfection. I left the salon feeling absolutely fabulous! This time I was confident that the time and money spent was worth the result.I highly recommend The Edge Hair Studio and wish Stacy, Ana Maria and the team continued success! read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. The excellent service and professionalism that you'll receive at the edge is literally a cut above all other salons in the DMV area. The edge carries the best products and consistently trains their stylist on the latest hair care regimes and trends. About six months ago I was introduced to Phyto Specific products, specifically the relaxer and I absolutely LOVE the line. Phyto products provide a more natural approach to hair care. I workout on a daily basis and my relaxer never has an odor when I sweat and doesn't grow out nearly as quickly as other brands that I've used. Phyto's hair line has EVERYTHING you need to maintain your mane from hair mask to leave in conditioners. Make your appointment at the edge today! read more

Cedya is the BEST weaveologist in Maryland! Whenever she does my hair, I always love the result. She makes me feel more confident about myself and my hair. I explained what i wanted and how i wanted my hair done. Not only did she give me more than i wanted ( in a positive way ) she did it while making sure it wasnt going to damage my hair. She explained to me what my hair needed ( as in a treatment and such ) and how it was going to help. I have not been to any salon that is better than the edge. I also havent been to a better stylist for my weaves and natural styles. Cedya is literally the best. So if you want a weave, feed-in braids, crochet braids, or any other natural protective style .. Cedya should be the first person you ask for when you call The Edge. read more

Lois H. Been going to this salon for a couple of years. Ana Marie always takes great care of my hair. Yesterday I went in to have my hair colored for my "Summer Look". She did an excellent job on my hair. The color is absolutely gorgeous. My natural hair is a dark brown. She gave me a lighter brown as a base color then gave me highlights in a gradual variance of color. My hair color has depth which is what I love. Ana Marie is a master colorist. It looks like I have already spent time on the beach. In the past, the summer sun would give me steaks in my hair "free of charge." Now I go to Ana Marie to get them. The staff is courteous, professional and skilled. The establishment is classy with a modern decor and a nice vibe!! read more

I just moved into the neighborhood and Astra welcomes me with open arms. The decor, the products, and the customer service was great. I usually never write a review but my experience today compelled me to voice my satisfaction with this salon. And best of all.... she had me in and out with quality work. The hospitality was also a plus as i was able to have some sparkling water. I would also be remised if I did not comment on the very relaxing and thorough wash. I'm always pleased when I find a place that does a thorough was because I have locs and some places tend to short change you on the wash.... but not here. At least a quarter of the time that I was in the shop, I was under the bowl. I will definitely be back. Thanks. read more

Several years go, my hair became dull, dry, and brittle. A friend recommended a new hair stylist, Ana Maria, and I am so glad she did! Ana Maria has been attending to my hair needs since then, and after all these years, I can only use superlatives to describe Ana Maria,who has the knowledge and techniques of an absolutely phenomenal hair stylist. My hair is now the crowning beauty that it ought to be--it looks healthy, it is cut stylishly, it has wonderful color, and suits my life style. I look forward to an appointment at her modern salon to savor the new hair styles she models, her suggestions for ancillary beauty products, and her attention to keeping hair healthy and beautiful. For me, Ana Maria is the best! read more

The Edge Salon staff are friendly and professional. The stylists are experts at haircare with a flair! Before going to the Edge Salon, I experienced hair loss and thinning. During my first appointment, Anna Maria examined my hair and scalp. She determined that my thinning had been caused by natural hair styling that failed to allow sufficient oxygen to my scalp. She created a treatment plan to restore my hair and it has worked!! My natural has grown thicker and longer. The thinning patches have been replaced by new growth! Anna Maria can diagnose and treat any problem with your hair. She's an expert who continues to learn the latest innovations in haircare and styling! read more

Ana Marie is bomb the salon is bomb, nice and clean and welcoming with snacks and refreshments and music, everyone that works there is nice and friendly. I have been eyeing this salon for a while now and have been hesitant about making my first appointment but I'm so glad I finally took that leap a faith and made my appointment and was cut and styled by Ana Marie she is so nice and sweet and caring and understanding she was patient with me as I was scared to get my hair cut as short as I requested and was nervous as hell bc you know you can't let anyone cut your hair but she hooked me up and styled me so beautifully I believe I found my new home...YES!!! Lol read more

Upon arrival to the salon I was greeted very professionally with a hair diagnostic by my stylist, Mignon. She analyzed my hair which I needed because I'm in transition. She was very knowledgeable about my curl pattern and how to achieve the look. Everything was 5 star about the salon, from the complimentary snacks to the complimentary steam service. Mignon is a great stylist and her customer service is excellent, as she was patient and thorough with very thick and natural hair. I recommend this salon and Mignon. My flex rod style was fabulous and looked stylish. I can wear it different ways and Mignon suggested styles for me, what a plus read more
