My review is based on my experience with Kirstie at Naked Waxing Spa…read more I did a quick Yelp search for "best wax" and Naked Waxing Spa was the first to pop up. Given the 5 stars I was immediately interested. Finding the salon was a little difficult as it is located behind the Cvs & Chipotle in Gaithersburg Square. My GPS kept telling me I had arrived when in fact I hadn't lol parking was also a pain as I had to loop around 3 times before someone finally left. I've been to the Symmetry Salon in Bethesda once before so I knew stylists had their own private space. I honestly prefer it over a loud, hectic salon. Your stylist can truly give you their undivided attention. This location also sells Balmain products. Super chic. You can help yourself to coffee, water and snacks while you wait. There is an ATM located inside as well just in case you forget cash to tip! All payments are made through your stylist not the front desk. I believe the receptionist is there to mostly direct clients and to book appointments. Kirstie was fantastic! I truly mean that. If you are looking for waxing, look no further and book an appointment today! She's friendly and professional. I will definitely be returning!

Review for BROW WOW THREADING ONLY. Absolute WORST threading /waxing I've ever recieved. It was so…read moregod damn painful. The woman who saw me (younger of the two) asked what I wanted, I responded and she started to work on my brows. From the second she put the thread on my skin it was painful and I felt like my eyebrows were being ripped off and bleeding. Later I saw that I did have a scar and bruise above my eyes. It felt like she was bitter and purposely putting all her anger into ripping my eyebrow hair out. That's how bad the pain was. Disclaimer here, I am from a similar area of the world where I also get my eyebrows threaded and NO, I am not some sissy person who is new to threading. My mother was a professional threader and I've had my eyebrows touched by BOTH novices and experts and I NEVER had any pain like this. I am very thick skinned and my pain tolerance is high but this threading stop in the salon run by these two Indian women....go somewhere else. I don't want to shit on the other salons in here and I will probably go here to try another salon but the threading...NO. Just full stop. She was rude too. I don't usually give a damn about that if you service me well. But the pain was too much to come back. And the result was mediocre. Not worth it for me to drive an hour for it.

I've gotten a couple of recommendations from my friends to go to Pinky for a haircut. I've been…read moregoing to Ulta for years, but they've raised their prices so I decided to check out this salon. I called in a couple of days prior to see if I can get an appointment with Pinky. Luckily she had availability the next week at a perfect time for me! I walked in and was greeted right away. It was a bit chaotic, but I was able to get a wash easily. Unfortunately once Pinky started combing thru my hair, she saw that there was still some residue of conditioner left, so we had to rinse again. No problem, though. Onto the cut- I told her exactly what I wanted, how many inches off, and showed her an inspo picture! She blew dried my hair and started styling and omgoodness, it was better than the inspo picture! I was genuinely so impressed by her work, I couldn't stop taking selfies! Pinky now has a loyal customer! Thank you so much for making me feel so glam!

I'll be back!! *Terminators voice*…read more I was searching yelp reviews all day in hopes of finding a beautician to do my hair. I was not having any luck and was about to try doing my own hair, when I stumbled across "Hair Elegance by Chanelle". Let me just say, I called mid-afternoon on a Wednesday (knowing that her shop was closing at 7pm) asking if she had any openings within a few hours... She made time to see me and stayed late!! (plus 1 star lol) I let Chanelle know that I needed a trim, wash and blowout... Lord knows I was LONG overdue for one!!! My hair is natural, thick and had some straggly heat damaged ends. Chanelle performed some magic on my little "beads", because when she was finished, my hair was silky-smooth, shiny and super bouncy. Owww! *hair flip* (plus 2 stars) This was the FIRST time that I've gone to a beautician and they styled my hair perfectly! I usually have to change it up (a little) to my own look; I did not have to do that at all! She happened to style my hair EXACTLY how I wear it... without me saying nada in advance. Whoot whoot! Chanelle was very personable and friendly; I happen to be a yapper, so chatting with her was nice, I kind of felt like I had already known her for years. Hasta la vista!

I have finally found a hair dresser!…read more So I've been going to Chanelle for about three months and she has been amazing! During my first visit, she spoke to me about the goals that I have for my hair and came up with a regimen to get me there! My hair was breaking pretty badly, I needed a trim and a dependable stylist to help me maintain my hair for the long term. So far Chanelle has fulfilled the criteria. In this short time, my hair is healthy, growing, shiny and I am happy! Chanelle also stays up to date with hair products, styles and best practices so I'm always excited to absorb any knowledge that she shares. If you are looking for a great stylist that focuses on healthy African American hair while keeping you cute and trendy, in upper Montgomery County, then you should schedule some time with Chanelle! You will not be disappointed.
