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.…

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 :).

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!

Service was running on time and my stylist was very nice. She shared her professional opinions and helped me return my hair to a healthy state. She was also let me see exactly how much she was cutting to make sure I was happy. The appointment was a little longer than expected so take into account the length and amount of hair you are looking to get styled.
