I was a first time customer and I was highly impressed with her professionalism and talent. She was tender with my hair, not pulling or combing through roughly which I experienced with my other stylist. I was overly satisfied with my twist. I use to get twist regularly but the style would not turn out right with my twist being very small with no fullness well I didn't experience that this time. The twist were full like I prefer. I had been seeing my previous stylist for over 5 years and she hadn't been available the last two times I needed an appointment, our schedules didn't match up, so I had to seek service elsewhere and I saw Yelena's work on a family member so I decided to give her a try and I am glad I did. She also advised me that I had heat damage which I would have never known had I not visited her. If you are looking for someone who can deliver great results with your hair I highly recommend Yelena. read more

My friend recommended Yelena when I needed faux loc for a trip. I could not believe how amazing they looked! So much so, I ended up going to her when I decided to take that loc journey for real! She started them beautifully and healthy, and 11/2 years later, I have healthy, regal locs that had crazy amounts of growth. Yelena is always professional, creative and accommodating, more than I've ever known. She's a perfectionist, and I don't mind that one bit! I went to her for color recently and was very nervous. No need! She did a perfect ombré color! Miracle worker!! read more

Yelena is a superior stylist. Trust reviews; REAL reviews from people who have actually experienced her professionalism first hand. My daughters, my sister, my nieces, my best friend and I have been styled by Yelena for years. Braids, locs, silk press, even recently had my hair completely colored and I was absolutely amazed at how beautiful it was. I received so many compliments and there is nothing like getting your hair done and feeling uplifted by your appearance afterwards. That is what Yelena does. She works WITH her clients and FOR her clients. read more

Excellent service, particularly with timeliness. She made sure to stick to what was booked on the site without additional stuff that would mess up her time. I really liked the twist she did on my hair. Wanted to add hair to my twist to bulk it up, but that wasn't booked before so she stuck to her schedule. Appreciate this attitude since I won't want to be the one waiting as clients add stuff to their appointment. Very personable. Highly recommend. I would post the hairstyle, but I didn't have on makeup so won't do that. read more

My daughter goes to this salon all the time for her usual hair styles, she's always happy with the service and care that she receives from Yelena. My daughter was a crier and once yelena started doing her hair, we had no complaints. My daughter says Yelena always treats her like her own child and like royalty. If we have a hair issue/question that needs to be addressed Yelena has no problem helping out. Yelena has been my daughters stylist since 2019, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone! read more

I'm fussy about my hair. I don't just let anyone style my hair. I come to every new stylist with distrust in abundance. So I'm so happy I found Yelena because she handles my hair with the same level of care and patience that I handle my hair. The best stylists collaborate with you to care for your hair and to find the style that works with your hair (and the shape of your face) while fulfilling your hair vision/goals. Yelena does that for me. read more

Yelena is professional, from my initial contact to my appointment date. She is honest, her price list did not change from booking to appointment day. Yelena is thorough and seems very interested in providing clients with hair care, as opposed to providing a "cute" style. Yelena is a great example of a young Black business woman, and I look forward to my next booking. (Also, my crochet locs are just gorgeous; she'snot heavy handed at all). read more

Hair health is of the utmost importance to me. I am so glad to have found Yelena when I relocated to the DMV. Not only does she focus on your hair health, but she has a soft touch when it comes to braids and twists, your hair will not be pulled and stressed unnecessarily. I have had a variety of styles and services over the last couple of years and have always been pleased. I will be her customer as long as I live in the DMV. read more

Yelena is very professional and personable. I love that she doesn't overbook so she's not rushing to get each client out the door. Even with taking her time we are not in the shop for long. She does both of my daughter's hair and they are both slightly tender headed but Yelena has light but precise hands. We are so lucky to have found her so close to where we live. We are now repeat customers. read more

I went to Yelena Stylz to get a Starter Locs Package. My customer service from the shampoo bowl to the end of my starter locs session was impeccable! Yelena was very gentle with my hair. She gave professional care and suggestions as to how to maintain my locs until my next appointment. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone who wants professional styling with a gentle touch. read more

Today I got some boho locs done for the first time and i LOVE THEM. The first time Yelena did my hair I had Marley twists and then some Feed in braids. Always a professional environment and she is VERY TENDER when she braids. I have a tender scalp and its never painful. I always go to Yelena for protective styles....especially when I'm trying to grow my hair out or going on vacation. read more

I have been going to Yelena over 7 years. When I first started with her my hair was uneven, short and extremely damaged. Through her expertise, patience and professional expertise my hair has grown past my shoulders and I now enjoy having cornrows and flat twist hairstyles. Yelena is the only Hairstylist that I want working on my hair. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! read more

She is great at what she does and takes her time to get everything looking flawless. She is a kind and friendly lady. As my first time getting my hair done by her I was amazed because having Hispanic silky thin hair you would get denied by others and she will do her best to make your visions come true. I will definitely go again!!! read more
