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!

I really wanted to love this salon, but unfortunately I had a bad experience both times I visited. The first time, my service felt extremely rushed.

I would not recommend this salon to anyone with Type 4 natural hair that cares about the health of their hair. I came in earlier this week for a closure sew in (which is my fault because I hadn’t seen their previous work with closures, but I was desperate). They started off by washing my hair, but it was clear they…

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.
This place gave me the best cornrows I’ve ever gotten and I am going to become a regular customer, as well as a crisp line up
I went to Mary for a last minute sew in for my birthday — she did absolutely amazing and the ambiance of the shop was perfect. A few days later I brought my boyfriend to one of the barbers (Adolf) — he also was great! Would definitely recommend DMZ salon.
