Amazing service and they got me in immediately, were very professional and quick. I’ve been back again and Senu got me all the way together, I got a sew-in with closure and she did so amazing! I love the results! So beautiful!
Senu did a great job on my sew in. She was speedy and I got exactly what I asked for. I will be back 💖✨💖
Liyu did a great job with my hair, very quick and cute!
Truly the best place if you want to get your hair done. I got a sew in with Liyu and I love it. Every staff is very friendly and nice. I truly recommend.
I visited this salon for the first time today after finding it on IG and it was great. I was able to make an appointment two days in advance. The customer service was great. I was immediately greeted when I walked in and the stylist, Senu, started on my hair. I got a sew in install and it turned out so good. I will…
Great Service!
Def the best sew in I’ve had in a long time, they will be seeing me again. Go see my girl Liyu!!!
Liy did an amazing job on my hair! I got a sew-in and she was able to add layers and sew in 4 bundles. She really took her time and it was a great price for the service.
I came as a walk in and even though they were busy they still accommodated me. I would say to definitely book an appointment but Liyu took real good care of me. She gave me an amazing wash and the braid down was neat but also not too tight. When she was curling my hair, I mentioned I had no idea how to curl and she…
This hair salon completely ruined my hair. When I went in, I mentioned I had very thin hair and sensitive scalp. They didn’t really care and kept working on my hair. They saw how uncomfortable I was and they kept making comments about me in their language that were obviously rude and funny to them. I’m traumatized.…
Had a wonderful appointment with Liyu! Came in with three bundles and a dream after messing up my at home color and she did a beautiful job of not only installing my sew in, but perfectly blending in my leave in
I went for a sew in and Liyou did an amazing job!! I will definitely come back
Liyu at DMZ Hair Salon did an absolutely amazing job on my hair! She was professional, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect. My hair came out even better than I imagined ! The entire experience was relaxing and enjoyable, and I left the salon feeling beautiful and confident. If you’re looking for a…
I had such a great experience with Liyu! I needed to get my hair done for my brother’s wedding this weekend, and I called that morning to see if they had any availability. They were able to fit me in last minute, and I’m so glad they did! My hair came out beautiful, and the price was so affordable. I only paid $200…
I had such a wonderful experience at DMZ Salon! ✨ From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, positive, and full of great energy. The vibes in the salon were AMAZING, and everyone made me feel comfortable and taken care of. A special shoutout to my stylist, Liyu! She was absolutely…
DO NOT GO! I got a sew in when I attended in January. I was passed between at least 3 different hair stylist. And they kept leaving because their friend’s daughter came in and wanted her hair done. They completely abandoned me to do her hair. My sew in (which usually takes 3-4 hours) took 9 goddamn hours. This was…
I had such an amazing experience at DMZ Hair Salon and I genuinely cannot say enough good things about my service. From beginning to end, everything was professional, welcoming, and such a positive experience. I needed my hair done pretty last minute and was able to get a same-day appointment, which I was extremely…
Experience was great ! Liyu was great she got me together after my hair was ruined by another stylist
liyu did my hair she did amazing and I will be coming back. My sew in is super flat and neat !
Horrible experience! I called a day ahead to check the price for a sew in and it was $160 and $120 for a bundle with an estimated total of $400. So I bought the hair and went just for the sew in. Never in my life, have I been more disappointed with the outcome of a sew in in my entire life. I was literally not sure…
I'm absolutely in love with my sew in. Definitely coming here from now on 😍 Liyu did my hair the second time and it was soooo amazing 👏🏽
10/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am SO happy I found this salon! This was a very last minute request. My regular stylist didn’t have availability for another three weeks, and I was out of town needing my weave redone or at least washed. Since I was looking for a Saturday appointment on short notice, I honestly figured I’d be…
Today I went to DMZ Hair salon in Silver Springs, Maryland. I really needed to find a hair salon that could take me last minute! The stylist I went to was Liyu, she was able to take me basically right there last minute, she gave me a good wash I didn’t get to record that I’d fallen asleep lol. I have naturally dense…
Specifically did my sew in to my hair type, listened to all my requests/concerns, very talented!
Had a bit of a rough start but the turnaround was beautiful. BIZU is that girl honestly, request her too 🫶🏾🫶🏾. She gives the best washes and blow-dry, has the most gorgeous technique and braid down style. 100/10!!
Great great experience! The foundation for my sew in was phenomenal! Will definitely be coming back!
I had a great experience! I was able to book a last-minute appointment, which was a huge plus. The service was excellent from start to finish, and everyone was friendly and professional. My braids were done super flat, which made my sew-in lay perfectly and look so natural. I was also in and out much faster than I…
10'ssssss ALL ACROSS THE BOARD !!!! I've had so many bad experiences with going to different walk in salons and having to take a risk with having different hands in your hair but BABY! For this to be my first time coming, My experience here at DMZ was a 10/10! My stylist was Liyu. She was excellent. Very patient ,…
Couldn’t blend my leave out hair is too bulky not flat what’s so I hate it it honestly seems like they just couldn’t do what I want and wouldn’t tell me because even the finished product looks terrible she didn’t even expect a tip because she knew how bad this looked. I am highly disappointed this was my birthday…
I had a great first appointment with Liyu! She was right on time for my 9:00 AM appointment, and I was in the shampoo chair by 9:03. She did a phenomenal job on my sew-in, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The shop was clean, quiet, and had a relaxing atmosphere. For reference, I visited on a Thursday…
I loved the service I had a wig install and added a bundle to my wig took about 3 1/2 hrs it was a last minute appt walk in really on a Thursday great service
Liyu was amazing ! She does my Sew ins and the shop itself is great :)
First time in the salon and I had a wonderful experience. The wash was amazing and my stylist was so gentle braiding my hair. I got crochet and my daughter got a sew in. Our hair came out beautiful and the entire experience was great. We will definitely be back again!!!
I had a great experience Mary did my hair. She did a bomb job!! Def will be coming back!!
Liyu did AMAZING! Please see her when you come ❤️
bizu was amazing great service and very quick!
They did a fantastic job at my sew in closure! I also booked only a day in advance and they were able to take me, and finish my hair in 3 hours (including wash, blowdry +braid down)
Great service and kind staff will be coming back for more styles
Professional, and very friendly people!!
I’ve been here twice to get knotless braids with extensions. Both times my braider did a fantastic job. The salon is pleasant, friendly, and quiet. I also think the prices are very reasonable considering that they shampoo, blow dry, and provide extensions. Finally, the location is super convenient by public transit or car.
Senu did an Excellent job! I drove up from Baltimore not sure of what to expect because my hair is growing out from a pixie cut so I have about 2-3 inches of hair in the back and about 4 on top. She was able to braid my hair without pulling it, she executed the style beautifully and even showed me a few new…
I got a sewing done for $180. The stylist worked on me right away. She did great. I will definitely be coming back to get braids later in the summer.
Amazing service! Came for a sew-in, they did an excellent work. Service was great as well! I’ll be back!!
Liyu was my stylist. The moment I walked in I was greeted and quickly set down. Liyu is patient and is very knowledgeable and talented when it comes to sew-ins. I love my hair! Thank you DMZ!
This salon has A1 service. I was greeted and sat as soon as I came in. The service included a wash and blow dry. The sewing technique was excellent. I will be back for sure !!
Word can’t describe how happy I am with my hair I can’t wait for my next appointment..
Liyu was the best. She took her time to braid my hair down. And she is a perfectionist. I recommend everybody go and see her for yall sew in. Here is the best part she is affordable I have found Me a new stylist thanks Liyu
Liyu was excellent. She was very sweet. She did my sewin seamlessly and has such amazing patience. I will definitely be coming back.

Great experience! Very professional! Liyu was great, she took her time and was careful. Great sew-in!
Liyu did my sew in and did an AMAZING job. It’s flat, not tight, didn’t take long and is so natural looking. I am obsessed with my hair and can’t wait to come back.
Excellent service
Good atmosphere. Take their time with everyone’s heads to perfection.
She curled my hair beautifully and got me right just before my prom!! She’s was so sweet as well, thank you!!
Got a traditional sew in for my graduation. Ruth did an amazing job! Very flat braid down and styling technique, affordable price and a really good scalp massage during the wash. I would definitely come back!
Ruth did amazing! I’m most definitely coming back. I got a sew in with curls and it’s beautiful and nice and tight so I know it’ll last.
I love this place, the girls are so professional and sweet.
Got a sew in from Liyu and it was absolutely beautiful. Will come back to see her again!!
My hair looks amazing and the service was top tier! I will be back for my sew ins and silk press!
Maybe because I got a closure but my experience and the outcome was disappointing. I've gotten sew-ins with closures before and they always looked good but this time at this place my hair looked a mess. I had her cut bangs to cover up how wild the lace looked and that was another mess. She (I think Mary) kept trying…
Liyu at DMZ SALON in Silver Sprung did another excellent traditional sew in. She has very gentle hands and listen to your request
Liyu did my sew-in. It came out beautifully. I have naturally long hair and got two bundles added. She completed it 2.5 hrs, braid down was immaculate, and final product was chef’s kiss. High recommend her.
I heard good things about this salon and decided to give it a try. Ruth did my sew in and it’s the BEST sew in I’ve had a long time. It’s flat and blends perfectly with my hair. I will definitely be coming back.
Ms. Mary did a great job installing my clip ins.
First time ever getting a sew-in and Liyu did AMAZING! She’s so kind, gentle, and makes sure that you’re satisfied throughout the appointment. I look forward to coming back!!
Went to DMZ salon today and I am very pleased with the service, my hairstyle and the time all of it took! I got a traditional sew-in by Liyu and this is my second time coming to her!

Ruth and Mary are amazing! I got sew-in maintenance and had a hot mess going on! They got me together in 2.5 hours! Flat and gorgeous.
I got a sew in from this place it didn’t last a week my scalp was so itching the tracks weren’t sewn in properly I was there forever and they kept having different people do my hair

Mary was amazing! I absolutely love coming here. Great neat work everytime
It was a great experience at this salon
First time getting a sew in and I was very nervous… they got me right, though! I’ll be back soon. Oh and I love the bundles!! So soft and bouncy :)
Mary is the best! She took great care of me and moved the fastest I’ve ever seen! Coming back for my next install!! Six bundles in 3 less than hours
Phenomenal services! Mary and her team did a wonderful job on my daughter’s hair from start to finish. The staff was friendly and Mary was attentive to the needs of my daughter—Her hands are truly blessed and she has a great spirit! I highly recommend checking out DMZ for your hair care needs!
No complaints. Service 10/10 styling 10/10. Definitely will be coming again.
My first sew in ever was great! Mary is so kind. She did an amazing job on my hair. It’s so flat!
I had the most amazing experience getting my sew-in and styling done at DMZ. From the moment I walked in, every single woman in that salon was warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming. My sew-in came out flawless — super neat, secure, and so natural-looking. They really took their time to make sure everything was perfect. I left beautiful, and 100% satisfied.
Amazing, quick service. I’ll definitely be back! Thanks, Mary!
Awesome service! I was able to get my hair washed and blow dried, in addition to the sew in. I was also able to get my black bundles dyed to my hair color the same day. I was serviced by Mary and Ruth.
I received a sew-in from DMZ Hair Salon, and this was my second time visiting and I keep going back. The service is outstanding. The owner, Mary, truly takes great care of her clients, and the staff does an excellent job with washing and blow-drying my hair. You can’t beat the price for the quality of service. I’m…
Did a natural sew-in and i absolutely love it! Thanks to Mary for the great service and kindness
Sew-in + wash was included! Booked with Liyu, they were able to accommodate me right before the holiday with less than 24h notice. was sat immediately service was lovely and she was so gentle with my hair (i’m tender headed) and made sure to put oil in the back of my braid down. Install was flat and the blend is…
I got a sew-in here and if I could give this place 10 stars I would! The service here was amazing!!! Top tier 10/10. My hair also came out so beautiful!!
Took me and my daughter at the last min service was amazing!!! Will be back!!!

I was on a time crunch and found DMZ on tiktok and called and came in same day! I installed my 30” bundles I had laying around and got 2 parts a side part and middle part for an amazing price!
Everyone is incredibly nice and welcoming. I got a Traditional sew-in by Liyu and she did a phenomenal job. Also wash and blow dryer was included in the price. Definitely coming back!
They did a fantastic job on my sew in! I was styled by Liyu who did my wash, blow dry, and braid down with great care and attention to details. The salon was also the most clean Ethiopian hair salon of the top 3 in the area. Will definitely be back when I’m in town for my next sew in or silk press!
2nd time coming to this salon, it a very welcoming salon and 10/10 service
Absolutely perfect. I didn’t know this shop was even here and I am so glad that I was sent and Mary’s way. I will be returning
