I found Clara through her amazing reviews online, and am so glad I did. She is very kind and a great listener, and wants to make your hair exactly how you want it. I came in for a trim and slight reshaping of my curly hair, emphasizing I didn’t want to lose a ton of length, and she gave me the exact haircut I was…

Clara was amazing. My teenage son had 4+ inches cut off. He was very nervous but Clara put him at ease, listened to what he had to say and gave him what he wanted. He loves his new look!

This was my first time with Clara and she did a terrific job! I had a full head foil, toner/color correction, a hair treatment and cut. Clara was wonderful at listening to what I wanted and delivered top notch professional services. She's very warm and engaging and I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to her. Very happy to have found her!

Clara is absolutely amazing! I am not from Maryland, I didn’t know any hair stylist in the area but when I read her reviews I knew I wanted her to help me with my hair.

First time there, definitely going back. Totally got what I wanted and I thought my request was going to be difficult (dark on top and purple underneath), Clara got it done with ease! Would give 10 stars if possible, I'm super stoked.

Clara does a great job with my beard and my hair. Straight razor leaves me with clean face with no bumps. She's great taking care of her clients I felt like I was at a spa. 10/10 would recommend.
