Today was my first experience/time at ON:U Hair salon in Ellicott City. I am so delighted to say…read morethat I had a wonderful experience! I have had such a difficult time finding a hair stylist that was able to cut my hair the way I envisioned. My search is over!!! I wish I had found this place sooner! The woman who cut my hair, who I believe is the owner (?), was so sweet and efficient. I wish I asked for her name but she was wonderful! Her assistant was also very kind and I found them to be a great team! The owner asked what I wanted and for inspiration photos, which I had ready. She then asked several other questions based on what I said I wanted and the photos I showed her. I wanted face framing layers, a V-cut on the back of my hair, and some bang styling that was appropriate for my face shape. From sitting down, to walking out the door, my haircut took only 40-45 mins! AMAZING! I feel like I have a lot of hair and I wanted layers so I was impressed by how efficiently everything was done, including the washing of my hair & curling after! I also found the price to be very fair and reasonable for what my end-product was with my hair. I highly recommend ON:U if you are in the search for a women's haircut!!! Seriously such an amazing experience ‍ P.S. If you'd like to tip the assistant, please bring cash! I didn't know this beforehand and I felt bad when I left because I don't carry cash on me. But very sweet people!!

I reached out to Michelle for a tone touch up, originally. She was very accommodating with my…read moreschedule. When I arrived, she had me wear a robe to protect my clothes then placed another robe on top. We went over what I wanted/expectations management. She went over what she can do and what she couldn't based in my hair type (Asian straight hair) and previous hair coloring/balayage. I went with her first solution to do a partial highlight to blend in my previous balayage. She did suggest to do a re-tone if I didn't want to spend more time and money on my hair. She took her time and I never felt rushed. I am really pleased with how my hair turned out. I recommend reaching out to Michelle and book your appointment ahead of time! P.S.- If you're a dog person, you'll be meet Cookie, the salon pup. She very sweet and loves being petted.

This was my first time visiting the salon since the first COVID lockdown. Even though it's been…read moresuch a long time since I saw Michelle, she remembered how I like my haircut and knew exactly what I wanted! She really cares for her clients and it really shows. The salon was clean, everyone was required to wear a face mask, and clients were socially distanced.

I had a great experience getting my haircut with Jaime! This was actually my first time at a hair…read moresalon, so I was already feeling pretty nervousespecially after running late. My appointment was at 10:00 AM, but due to traffic I didn't arrive until 10:25. I felt awful, but Jaime was incredibly kind and understanding, and still took me in right away without any frustration. Once in the chair, everything went smoothly. She gave me a relaxing wash and a quick but thorough cut that turned out just how I wanted. She even shared helpful tips on how to maintain the style at home. Despite my late arrival, I was out by 11:18. The whole experience was efficient, pleasant, and professional. I tipped her well and will definitely be coming back, next time on time!

I booked Alex for a cut and perm. The cut was great. Alex listened to my needs and he was open to…read morecommunicate in turns of aesthetics and stuff. I was surprised that my hair weren't shampooed at all during my service. I did a perm so he rinsed my hair a couple times.. but no shampoo before or after. The worst thing is their towel on the washing bed (the one that would contact with your neck). It smells (like dirty towels) and the location got contact with it felt itchy afterwards the smell from the dirty towel remains on my neck as well until I shower at home this should never happen at a four dollar sign salon. Besides that, the store was clean and quiet. My appointment was 1PM - 4 PM. Only two people were working at that time--the two owners. Tbh it was the first time I saw a hairdresser do everything himself--all the preparation, cut, perming, washing, etc. The limitation of staff resulted in lack of attentiveness. During the perm, the medicine touched my face, and overall the experience was not up to the standard. I really hope that they can improve because hair coco has lots of potentials.

She will advise on what style and cut will suit your type of hair and your face, etc. I did a full on color job last time and she really evened out my color from my last lifts.

She's also super nice and it's always pleasant to spend time with her. :)

Thankfully my hair was long enough to learn through trial and error thank goodness for YouTube! Amy started by washing my hair, which was so relaxing. I showed her a haircut inspiration photo I found on Google, and she quickly assessed my hair and honestly explained how it would look if she copied it exactly. That level of professionalism really stood out. Her hands were so light and gentle, and I felt relaxed the whole time. She also shared helpful tips for styling my thinning hair. We had great conversation, she recommended lunch spots, and even offered coffee. Truly a 10-star experience. Thank you, Amy, for making me feel confident and refreshed again!

I'm a very particular person and I've gone to many stylist because its very hard to find one who…read morecan consider my skin tone, hair texture, wide forhead, an square shaped head. It takes a long time for me to find one who can actually achieve my desired outcome... and I think I found one stylist who actually exceeded my expectations. Amy takes a good look at your inspiration photo, and she would give you her professional opinion whether it suits your faceshape, and hair texture. She would tell you the possible outcome if she was to proceed with such style. Even if your face shape is not the same as the model in the photo, she would adjust the cut so that you could have the similar or better outcome that suits you. Sometimes when a different stylist cuts my hair short, it usually doesn't grow quite nicely. But when Amy cut my hair short (above shoulders) my hair grew beautifully even when it already passed my mid back. I just came back to her to get my hair colored. She trimmed my hair, got rid of the damage parts, gave me an awesome scalp massage and shared tips on how to style my thinning hair. She also shared some knowledge about hair care, and certain things to do specially for hair. The color was on point and evenly distributed. She also would check on my well-being and would ask if my scalp was feeling okay.. Now my thin hair somehow looks fuller and also looks healthier. She also gave me some cookies and prepared me some green tea. Amy is a rare talent indeed. Her years of experience & expertise clearly shows in her work. Great customer service with an amazing vibe. I think Amy has magic hands!
