Salon EFX

I really wanted to love this place! I booked a hair cut appointment online based on reviews with one staff member but was asked to come in early. When I did come in early, I was given a different staff member who was very nice but had limited skills in cutting hair or styling. She gave a me mullet that I had to get… Read full review

Yesenia did a beautiful job with my hair at my first appointment with her a few months ago and today as well.

For more than 2 years, Emily has been our top choice for a salon haircut. Emily is great! She is personable and made my hair look fantastic. Highly recommend!

I've been coming to Salon EFX for 15 years and have recommended Zena many times. She's a great all-around stylist for scissor or razor cuts, long hair or short, highlights, color or whatever else you need. She's careful to consider each customer's unique style and needs, and always makes good recommendations. I'd give her more stars if I could!

My wife has always had a good experience with Yesenia, always caring and attentive to her.

Yesenia assisted us and did an excellent job. We were all very pleased with her service and professionalism. I highly recommend Yesenia and the salon to all of my friends. It was a wonderful experience

Yesenia was amazing! She was so thorough and patient getting my daughter's hair color and cut absolutely perfect.

Yesenia is an amazing stylist. After going through several stylists, she’s the one who truly listened to me and gave me the best cut for my hair and for my face. Additionally, she does wonders with colors and highlights. And finally, she’s just one of the nicest humans you will ever meet and she truly cares about her clients.

I have been getting haircuts from Yesenia now for more than two years . The reason I keep going to her is because she pays close attention to my concerns and gives enough time to go over pictures and ideas before cutting my hair. She makes sure you get the haircut you wanted and adjusts any changes you want after… Read full review

Emily is AMAZING! Two of my adult kids (and now one of their boyfriend’s) also go to her. She’s great for haircuts, color, whatever you ask for!

The right color and cut can make you feel beautiful and confident for weeks and at times make you believe that hair is your “Super Power!” Zena has the skills to truly understand the chemistry that goes into making color look genuine and gives a haircut that fits a face and personality. Besides being an exceptional… Read full review

My family and I have gotten our hair done by Emily here for years with nothing but amazing results. My most recent cut is the best I've ever had. She's extremely welcoming and receptive. I've always left with my exact desired styles!!

Always fantastic consistent haircuts

As a dad, I'm always a little nervous about trusting someone with my daughter's hair--especially when it involves her very first color experience. From the moment I called, I knew we were in good hands. Ryan, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful. He took the time to understand exactly what my daughter… Read full review

I love SalonEFX and Zena- she's the best! I started going to Zena a few years on the recommendation from a friend, she really takes care of me and my hair, always making thoughtful and helpful suggestions so that my hair is looking great.

I was very pleased with my first visit to Tina, recommended to us by our recently retired hairdresser. Tina’s a keeper, and I’m sure my husband will also be happy with her.

Salon EFX has really expanded! I’ve been taking my 88 yo mom there for a few years and Emily is the best! She is very sweet with my mom, who can be very picky! And my mom loves her :)

First time visit. Clean friendly environment. Tina did a great job on my hair. She didn't use too much & I like that!

Emily does an absolutely amazing job with my hair color every single time. I’ve gone lighter with bleaching, and my hair still feels healthy, soft, and strong, no damage at all! which is so hard to find. She really knows what she’s doing and takes the time to make sure everything comes out perfect. You can tell she… Read full review

Had a wonderful experience at this salon! Everyone was kind and welcoming. Yesenia talked through what I needed and delivered! I’m so glad salons like this still exist ☺️

My daughter is very particular so we have taken a while to find someone to cut her hair. We were referred to Jameise. Jameise’s skills shine and the cut and style that my 10year old got had me walking right to the desk to schedule an appointment for myself. Gorgeous layers so professionally done, with side swept… Read full review

After decades with the same stylist, who retired, I had to find someone new. Salon EFX set me up with Tina, for a men’s haircut, and I was completely satisfied. Thank you!!

Emily was amazing for my appt today. I'm two weeks postpartum and needing something that felt light/fun and MAN did she deliver. I love my short hair and she was a gem the entire appointment. Thanks so much Emily!

Moved to Maryland recently and have been nervous about finding a new stylist. Jameise was absolutely wonderful. Made me feel comfortable and seemed to immediately understand my special needs hair. Highly recommend.

My daughter recommended this Salon after my longtime stylist from another Salon disappeared. I had tried to cut my hair myself a few times with disastrous results. Yesenia was able to fix my mistakes and put everything back into a cute style. Even though my hair is very short she spent a great deal of time… Read full review

Yesinia was wonderful. Did my hair exactly the way I wanted it.

Disappointed after my visit. Came in for a haircut, curl treatment, and brows. When going over what I wanted for the haircut, I showed multiple photos of what I was thinking. I wanted layers so my curls can pop. No layers were cut. I got a curly hair treatment, stylist asked if I wanted my hair left curly and I said… Read full review

I’m so happy I found this place! The people here are so great and did an amazing job on my hair! Definitely coming back!

Everyone was so nice and welcoming. This is my new favorite salon!

They said they do pixie haircuts, so I made an appointment to get one. When I went to the salon on my appointment day, the lady told me she couldn't do a pixie haircut and canceled my appointment. Very disappointing.

Emily is my go-to for my curly cuts. She listens to what I want but also gives her recommendations and I always leave happy with my cuts. 10/10 recommend Emily!

Really great service and my hair looks so much healthier after the gloss treatment!!

Emily was wonderful and did such a great job with my haircut and blowing it out after. I will definitely be visiting again!

Best cut

I’ve been going to Salon EFX for a haircut and highlighting for 2 years and couldn’t recommend her more highly. She does a wonderful job and is a pleasure to be with during the time I’m there.

My family recently moved to this area & took our 90 year old grandmother with us. She used to picky and prefers her hair & nails done a certain way to her liking. This place has been lovely to her. They are friendly, attentive & accommodating. She has really enjoyed her haircuts & hair coloring. Thank you to the… Read full review

Tina is an experienced professional and always styles my hair so that I look hip and professional. She listens, cares and is personable.

Friendly, welcoming and attentive.

I recently booked a haircut (includes wash, blowout, and style) with Yesenia. She was professional, attentive, and did an amazing job. The entire appointment was relaxing and stress-free. I highly recommend Yesenia!!

It has been around 2 months since I started going to this place. I’ve had experiences with Yesenia , Emily and Belqis . All were kind, experienced and listened to what I needed carefully. Also, the management is very friendly and accommodated my late requests accordingly.

I had a highlighting and cut session with Emily and she was great! She took her time, was super bubbly, and I would go back again.

Today was my first visit to the salon. I booked a cut and balayage with Yesenia - I cannot recommend her enough! She was kind, patient, communicative and gave feedback on what I initially thought I wanted and suggested a different shade that came out great. I’m posting a before (taken 1 week before) and an after.… Read full review

2nd time getting my hair cut and styled by Emily. She's amazing :)! So kind, helpful, and fun to chat with! She taught me how to properly care for my wavy/curlyish hair and gave great suggestions for my cut (especially since my hair is thin and could use volume). We took off some length, did a bit of layering, and did curtain bangs :).

This was hands down one of the best salon experiences I’ve had. I had my haircut by Yesenia. She listened to my vague description of what I wanted and gave me that and more. She took her time at each step and made me feel pampered. She is fabulous at her job and I am SO happy with the results. Everyone in the salon… Read full review

Zena is a goddess who can tame the wildest of hair, I would kiss her feet but I think that borders on impropriety these days. Can’t imagine that you wouldn’t be spectacularly impressed. On top of all that, she’s the stylist for ‘Miss Silver Spring’ who could likely have her hair done anywhere!

Very nice salon with excellent staff! I love my hair. This is definitely my new spot. Dariana did exactly what I wanted and left my hair feeling soft and luxurious. I was offered refreshments and my appointment started right on time. Easy to book online. More than fairly priced.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Tina work on my hair after a previous experience with another hairstylist that left me feeling discouraged. From the moment I sat in her chair, Tina made me feel completely at ease. She took the time to really listen to my concerns, understood what I was looking for, and gave me… Read full review

Emily is my go-to! She’s just great.

Zena always does an amazing job coloring and cutting my hair. Beautiful natural color blending. The salon atmosphere is inviting and friendly.

I had an amazing experience getting my haircut with Yesenia! She is incredibly professional and friendly, making the whole process enjoyable. I really appreciate how she takes the time to explain each product she uses on my hair, which shows her expertise and attention to detail. My hair looks and feels great, and… Read full review

I've been coming to this Salon for 2ish years now, and won't go anywhere else. My stylist Emily is amazing with vivid colors, and makes the most knowledgeable suggestions. I totally recommend ☺️

My go to spot for whenever I’m in need of a trim or clean up for important dates, Emily is always reliable and very nice to have conversations with.

Yes this is the place. I have been coming here for many years and Emily is been the only one doing my hair. You can tell by looking at some photos i will upload below. I feel home here, they are all welcoming and friendly. Elena does an awesome job as well for my nails, massages and skin care.
