I've been avoiding salons due to COVID but my hair was suffering (sore scalp, breakage, itching,…read moreetc). I'd wasted lots of time and money on products that didn't help and I needed a solution fast to avoid further damage to my coils. I took the leap of faith and booked with Terri and I have no regrets. She was punctual, her shop was immaculate, I was the only customer, she was masked and sanitized throughout my stay. She really took her time to explain her steps and really transformed my hair. I will see her in 3 months!

Terri is amazing! I am very picky when it comes to people cutting and styling my hair and I decided…read moreto give T2 a try after seeing an amazing deal on the Groupon. Terri was so nice and took me in even though I was late to my appointment (by the way, if you don't know where her salon is, it's in the mall, tucked away, like a gem, in the Salon Plaza stall (which is what you will look up in the mall directory). Besides her genuine kindness and being very personable, which made me feel very comfortable, Terri knows what she is doing! She provided me with a consultation and helped me decide what style to get that compliments my face well, what will look good for my hair, in the long run. I'm definitely not the expert, and Terri IS! She knew what I was thinking and was able to tell me that what I had in mind wouldn't work and when I went with her advice, it was exactly the cut I was envisioning in my head but Terri, the expert, did her magic! In addition, she added her touch by taking good care of my hair and offering advice to care for it. She finished off by taking the time to style it to make it look so good. When choosing to trust a hairstylist, I'd rather have someone take time on my hair to make it look beautiful and make sure that I am happy with it, rather than someone who wants to accommodate as many customers that they are not concerned about how the client feels about her hair. Teri takes her time and it the after product is beautiful. I walked out of that salon and right away was receiving so many compliments from random people around the mall! It was awesome!

Review for The Art of SMP by Chris Herrera, Kensington, MD…read more From a woman with alopecia I've had alopecia for a few years now, and after trying different wigs, fibers, concealers, even seeing dermatologists, nothing gave me the kind of confidence boost I was hoping for. I finally decided to try scalp micropigmentation (SMP) with Chris Herrera at The Art of SMP in Kensington, MD -- and I'm so glad I did! Kindness, Respect & Comfort From the first consultation, Chris and his team made me feel seen & heard. They listened to my concerns (uneven patches, sensitive scalp, what my "look" goals were) without rushing me. The environment is professional but warm. Staff were gentle and respectful. Because of the patchiness I had, I was anxious but Chris guided me through what realistic expectations are, and didn't overpromise. They reassured me about pain, healing, colour matching, which helped a lot. They know how emotionally heavy hair loss is, especially for women, and they treated it not just like a cosmetic fix but something that matters deeply. The price point is perfect, Given the durability of the work (touch‑ups needed but not often), I feel like it was worth every dollar!!! This is not a paid review or discount review, I'm a real female with alopecia living in Virginia. I wish I knew of this years ago.

I first had my SMP procedure in 2013 by Scalp Aesthetics in New York. They did a really good job…read morebut the ink had faded over the years so it was time for a rework. I did not want to go back to NY for another procedure because of the risk of catching Covid, so I was very relieved to find Chris near me. When I went to meet Chris's I was impressed with how clean and professional looking his office was. Chris did an analysis of my head and recommended a treatment plan. The treatment plan was exactly what I was looking for. Chris did a rework of my head and restored it to its former glory. I have met many artist before and honestly believe that Chris is the most talented and skilled artist I have ever met. If you live in the DC area and are looking for an artist who has the integrity to keep his appointments, is a perfectionist, and will make your head look as natural and undetectable as possible, then Chris is the only solution. Thank you Chris for the amazing job you did. You exceeded my expectations!
