Mary was phenomenal! She gave me awesome two strand twists within 2 hours! I also got my hair blowdried and trimmed perfectly by Maria. I highly recommend both of their services and plan to see them again in the future!

DMZ Hair Salon and Braiding is a great salon. I specifically went to hairstylist Mary to style my hair for my law school graduation photos and she did an excellent job! Mary works efficiently and effectively. I received many compliments on my hair from family members and friends.
