I happened to be nearby on a Monday when most salons are closed but these hard-working ladies are here every day according to posted hours, and "walk-ins are welcome." I'm not Dominican and have fine thin hair that I like to keep simple with a shoulder-length blunt cut and $60 seemed reasonable for DT Silver Spring (although I pay $40 in the suburbs). I was given a terrific massaging shampoo and condition but then after a short towel dry, my hair was clipped on top of my head and I was mysteriously placed under a dryer! That's a first! After 15 minutes I was about to liberate myself from the dryer when the stylist who arrived 15 minutes prior appeared and cut my hair. She did a good job although was too pushy about what length was best for me and left it a little longer than I would have liked. Still, all in all I'd return -- I'd just inquire if the stylist was here or when she'd be available lol.

Easy, friendly, fast, good prices and no one is loud on the phone or trying to up sell you on products. I had 2 hours while on travel and I was in and out with a deep conditioner too boot in that time. Bring cash as they don't take credit cards or Apple Pay. I paid $65 for my wash, set, blow dry and deep conditioner in early November 2022. I have natural curly hair normally and no perm. Quick addition: 11/29/22 Alas they are good but not consistent on days open and closed or times. Don't look at the door or Yelp to help. Go old fashioned and call to ensure they are there and that free conditioner thingy on Yelp check-in (nope not so much here).

I came into the salon to get a shampoo, blow dry and style with a flat iron. I ended up receiving a complimentary deep condition as well, it was very nice. They have many dryers and even steamers in salon that I thought was very cool. The women who work there were very kind and made me feel very comfortable. It's always tough going to a new salon but I'm glad I found one just up the street. I paid about $55 after tip for my service which was definitely a steal.
