    Box braids

    Yaa is a great braider and she is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She has gentle hands and beat braiding

    My hair

    It was just me, no other customers, and she did a great job. Definitely going back. My twist only took 4 hours, great service

    Twists. Yaa is the best. The braids are not tight. Neat and beautiful. Fairly priced.

    I appreciate The shop owners transparent communication if running late , or to adjust appointment time. She follows the mask mandate as a precautionary measure. Very nice and professional Have been going to her salon about two years, and never disappoints

    Yaa is the braider and owner, this is my first time getting braided by her and she cared about my comfort and hair. This is so important since there are so many braided who braid too tight and don't care. You can tell Yaa whatever you need to and she will adjust for you, she cares about your hair. Her little shop on 17th is cute and comfortable.

    Yaa, you are the BEST!!!! You booked me on very short notice and did an amazingly unique style of Cornrow Tree Braids. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!

    Adom did a great job on my tree braids! She is so kind and pleasant to be around and works great with human hair!

    So, I came here on a whim during the summer of 2016 after my natural hair was just getting too difficult to manage. I looked up Adom Hair Braiding and was willing to take the chance. I was not disappointed at all Yaa took amazing care of me then. So much so that I came back this year again. These pictures are from the last time she did my hair. I'll be sure to upload the new ones when she's finished!

    I used to have my braids done at World of Braids which is now out of business (not a surprise based on the horrible customer service). So I was on the look out for a new braider and came across Yaa at Adom. Really appreciate the pictures and comments posted by Tamika which is why I took a chance with Yaa. Love my braids, love Yaa's professionalism and sweet personality. Really appreciate that she excuses herself to conduct additional business while in the midst of braiding instead of taking for granted that I don't mind the 'divided' attention. And she is a very fast braider - full head of singles done in just under 5 hours! Yaa, thanks for the fabulous new look :0)

    Love it!

    Love my new hair! Adom is great, nice, talented and has great time management. I can't wait to come back!

    Hello All! If you are looking for a place to get your braids, twists, etc. done and done right. This is the place. I am starting my first year of college in DC and wanted to get my hair in Senegalese Twists. 1. They are definitely in style. 2. I've been wearing weaves for two years and am absolutely tired of getting up to do my hair. So I finally decided to go for it. I searched o Yelp for hair braiders in the area, specifically ones with expertise in this style. I cam across Adom Hair Braiding and gave the shop a call. I spoke with Yaa a week in advance and she was able to get me in 4 days before my flight to DC. Perfect timing! Yaa was great with communicated. She called be twice. Once to confirm some days before and again the night before. I came in early and we discussed the size, length, and type of hair I wanted for my twists. I also showed her a picture of exactly how I wanted them. Now, I was very nervous. I hadn't had my hair in anything but a weave in two years and did remember some of the negative reviews on her page. But I am here to say, my experience was nothing but perfect. She turned on the TV and encouraged me to get comfy. She started on my head at about 10:15 am and after the first twist, she trimmed it up and asked if that was how I wanted it. I told her yes, and boy did she get to work. Now I was in no rush so I told her to take a break for calls or food but she always asked first. We both took a lunch break and made great conversation. I know some prefer to just go in and get their hair done for relaxation and she can do that too. I am a talker so I would ask her questions and strike conversation every now and then. After every couple of hours, Yaa went twist by twist trimming the sides making sure they looked great. I really admired that and felt she never rushed through my hair. Now, I have a lot of hair so in terms of time, it did take her longer than expected to twist my hair, but she still did not rush. She was planning on picking up her son but called her husband to do it just so she could take time on my head. In total, it was about 7 hours including a good lunch break, but honestly, it didn't feel long. After all the twists were done, she went one by one snipping and trimming excess hairs again and then dipped them. She also put a nice oil sheen on my hair. I appreciated her thoroughness and communication about what she was doing, what she was putting on my hair and suggestions for how to maintain them. Yaa, you are the best. Thank you so much!!

He reached out for a conversation before I came in and I knew I was in good hands. And then I was BLOWN AWAY by what he was able to achieve!! I had expected it would take a few visits to get there. Justin knows hair!! There is a science and an art to color, especially for those of us wanting dimensional color. Justin has both expertise and artistry!! I'm just delighted. I want to also mention that the salon itself is lovely. Spacious and airy, with a sweet back patio. I loved the art, too. The whole experience was uplifting! Justin is easy to talk to, the vibes are chill. I'm including before and after photos in hopes that my review might help someone else in a similarly desperate situation. You can trust Justin at Salon 1500!! He's awesome!!

    Hair done by Masooda My experience here was very…read moredisappointing. My hair was 100% virgin hair and had never been dyed before. I naturally have dark brown hair, and I came in with an inspiration picture asking for an autumn copper-brown reddish color. They were very confident that they could make the color I wanted happen, which made me feel comfortable moving forward with the service. After the first round, she was already getting ready to send me home, but I told her I was not happy with the results because my hair barely looked different from when I came in. It stayed mostly the same dark brown, except for some patchy plum-colored areas. I paid $120 for that first service. After I explained that I was unhappy, she recommended bleaching my hair to get me closer to the lighter copper-brown reddish color I originally asked for. What bothered me was that before starting the bleach, she never told me she would also be doing another client's hair color at the same time. While the bleach was sitting in my hair, there was one point where she was away for about 40 minutes. I was so nervous about the bleach sitting in my hair that I actually started a timer myself because I did not want anything to happen to my hair. She was also leaving at other times in between for around 20 to 30 minutes while working on the other client. I really wish my hair had been monitored more closely throughout the bleaching process, especially because of how light it ended up becoming. Instead of the autumn copper-brown reddish color from my inspiration picture, I ended up with orange and blonde hair. I paid another $230 for the second service, bringing my total to $350. I am extremely disappointed that I spent $350, went through two rounds of color and bleaching on previously virgin hair, and still did not receive anything close to what I originally asked for. If you have naturally dark virgin hair and are looking to go lighter, based on my experience, I would definitely not recommend this place.

From the moment we met, she made me feel comfortable, listened closely to what I wanted, and was incredibly responsive. Marilyn has the range to create everything from minimalistic looks to full glam, and I appreciated that she never pushed me in either direction. We found the perfect in-between, and during the trial, she patiently worked with me to tweak my makeup and try different hairstyles until it felt just right. Marilyn is also such a wonderful person. She's warm, easy to talk to, and made both the trial and my wedding morning feel calm and enjoyable. She's also part of a network of artists who can step in if something unexpected happens, which gave me extra peace of mind leading up to the big day. Marilyn an incredibly talented artist, and I feel so lucky she was the one who helped me get ready for my wedding day. Thanks Marilyn!

Pricy but worth it, I think I'll get a haircut with more layers next time for the price that is charged :) Would definitely come back, you can tell she is trained very well and really listens to what you want. So happy I found her salon because the last one I went to near Lake Merritt messed up my haircut pretty bad. Would recommend!
