She has…read morecompletely transformed my hair--it's healthier, stronger, and has grown so much over the years. Amanda doesn't just style your hair; she genuinely cares about its health and takes the time to teach you how to maintain it at home. Her product recommendations and personalized advice for my hair type have made a world of difference. Not only does she take care of my hair, but she also takes care of my daughter's long, beautiful hair. Amanda keeps her up to date with regular trims to maintain its health and shine, making sure it continues to grow strong and healthy. My daughter loves how gentle and knowledgeable Amanda is, and I love the results! If you're looking for a stylist who is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about the long-term health of your hair, Amanda is the one to go to. I can't imagine trusting anyone else with our hair!

This was my first time getting my hair professionally done at a salon and I couldn't be more than…read morehappier with the results of my dark brown balyage. I recently moved to the DMV from NY for school and decided to go with her salon because I wanted to support a small business and the other reviews were great! Booking the appointment was seamless. Annum was able to accommodate an earlier appointment time for me since I had a scheduled meeting later that afternoon. I visited her almost a month ago on April 6th, 2021 so here is my comprehensive review. My balayage took a little under 1.5 hours to complete. She was very efficient while also ensuring that my hair retained its natural moisture and health. She made sure that she respected my time due to my meeting later that evening. When I returned home, I did notice that the toner didn't take on a small but noticeable section of my hair that was noticeably blonde. I immediately texted Annum to let her know and she squeezed me in the same day to reapply the toner for the area, which was a very quick fix. Not every hair stylist would show this level of dedication to ensure that I had the best experience. After a month, the color has held up beautifully and I've received endless compliments on her work. In terms of parking, there are public parking garages on the same street that are affordable and accessible (~$1.25/hr). Highly recommend booking her, she's very professional, honest, and genuinely takes care of her clients! Support your small businesses and book her!!

Annum is THE person to go for all your hair related needs. I promise you, you won't go anywhere…read moreelse after seeing her. Long story short, I came to Annum after nearly 2 years of not letting anyone touch my hair because of a disaster that left me in tears with shoulder length hair when I was supposed to only get an inch off my super long hair (obvs, this wasn't her who did it). Now I literally only trust Annum to do my hair and recommend her to all my coworkers, friends, and family. Not only is she precise with all her cuts and color, she can also recommend what she thinks will be flattering for you which is especially nice for people who may not come in with inspo pictures. After she brought life back to my sad hair, I trusted her to finally go ahead and give me some color with a balayage. I haven't looked back since then and have only been going lighter with each visit! The best part is that even several months later, my balayage looks fresh and perfect despite my hair growing out. I personally give her creative freedom and trust her with whatever color she thinks is gonna look great on me but you can always bring/show her what you want and she'll recreate it to the best of her abilities! Remember folks, every artist is different and uses different techniques so an exact recreation isn't really possible. She's great at listening to what you want while also protecting your hair from any unnecessary damage and if you aren't happy with it (which I'm sure is rare) she'll fix it! Annum herself is a delight to come in and see. She's always so sweet and sociable - it's always fun to talk to her while she's working her magic on my locks! I appreciate that she has her own private suite in a salon with other artists which does make her hijabi friendly BUT bear in mind that there are men who will walk around as they probably work there too. I have hijabi friends who don't see this as a problem but to each their own. In terms of pricing, I think her rates are very fair especially considering what some other salons (super side-eye to yall) charge for balayages and color services that aren't even close to beauty that she creates. Again, bear in mind that while it isn't cheap - no hair stylist gives you a refund for services already done! Common sense right? Apparently not. Like I said before, if you aren't happy for whatever reason; let her know and she'll fix it. You'll be hard pressed to try and find ANY salon or stylist that'll refund you for any reason. Booking is easy but she does book super fast so make sure you make your appts well in advance! My thick desi hair won't let anyone else touch it so seriously, treat yoself and get your hair blessed by Annum and her magical hands!

I brought in photos of the color I wanted, the approximate length, and a verbal description of what I was looking for in a style. I was worried it would not come out well because I've had really bad experiences with getting my hair cut (see previous review of Fringe), but this place went above and beyond. I got the exact cut I wanted and the color is spot-on. Apparently this salon is pretty new (only open for a few months). But if you're considering coming here - do it. You won't regret it. Isis spent A LOT of time on my cut and color (almost 3.5 hours) and it only cost $85!! Amazing. Even with the $20 tip, that's still significantly less than most places in D.C. would charge. She was thorough, very nice, and continually asked me if I was okay (is the water too warm or cold when shampooing? How long would you like the side-sweep? Do you want some water?). It's rare to find this level of professionalism, courtesy, and talent with such a reasonable price tag. Especially in the D.C. area. I needed a stylish, yet professional cut with a rich and vibrant color. I got it. I'm so ecstatic with this haircut. It's gorgeous. I will definitely be coming back.

My hair was uneven and she refuse to fix it when I was there and I told her it wasn't right! It's thin on top as if the weave is going bald! Also much thinner on one side than the other!

I wouldn't recommend her services to my worst enemy! I invested a lot of money in this style and got bamboozled! Do not go here! She kept trying to convince me the style looks like the pic I asked her to do! It looked nothing like the pic! I'm so upset and embarrassed! This is the worse looking weave I've ever seen! Christine offered 12 days later to fix my hair after I kept reaching out to her. She had the opportunity before I left her salon but refuse to fix it and told me it's fine and sent me away with extra hair! So very disappointed that I didn't go by my instincts from the red flags!

I want to thank Christine for not only making my vision come to fruition but exceeding it. When I…read moretell you the feeling of no longer feeling self conscious of the state of my hair is priceless. When I walked into her salon I was terrified she would tell me there was nothing she could do BUT Christine reassured me of what my options were and what would be best and realistic for me and made me feel so comfortable and most importantly listened to my concerns/ fears. When I tell you to wake up this morning and not have check my bald spot to see what I have to fill in and not see black pencil on my pillow because of my sides being bald was a wonderful feeling. What she does is not simply "do hair" she s an ARTIST! Christine gave me a feeling of beauty when I have felt ugly for so long. I could go on and on. Bottom line she is wonderful! and I will be seeing her again in a few months

I still have five feet of that stuff left. Whew hew. Today, when I stopped by for a new satin pillow case ($3.99) (heh, just got my 'hur did'), I also found myself drawn to a pair of neon pink lurex leggings. You know, Mardi Gras is coming. In the end, I did not buy them because they didn't have my size. They are a tiny bit skittish about pictures inside so don't look for a lot of those but I will be back to this place again and again.

It looks like they are replacing the old staff with people who do not speak sufficient English, know little to nothing about hair/weave, and are only interested in selling "something" to a customer, instead of helping them find exactly what they're looking for. I came in looking for good quality glue-in hair to match my highlights (which had gone from a ghastly fuchsia to a really cute 1B 33). I also wanted loose curls or loose waves, since I was going on vacation. After roaming around the store for a few minutes, I finally found someone who worked there and asked her to send someone over to assist me. She sends over this Asian woman who spoke hardly any English. Great... After much gesturing, I was able to communicate what I was looking for. She disappeared behind a set of boxes behind the counter and I thought she was looking for the hair I asked for. She was gone an unusually long time, so I walked over to see what she found for me. Turns out, homegirl was on the phone having a personal conversation. I looked at her like "Really?" and she had the nerve to smile and give me the "Hold on, I'll only be a minute" hand. No ma'am. After several more minutes of waiting for her to get off the damn phone, I finally asked the girl at the register to help me. She walked behind the counter and the Asian woman told her she helping me. I said to her, "No, you're on the phone" and told the Ethiopian lady what I needed. She was not much better. I told her the color and style I wanted, showed her my hair, and she proceeded to pull out everything I did not want. I asked for 1B 33 hair, she showed me a pack of the ugliest "33" hair I've ever seen. No 1B in it at all. And it was straight. I specifically said (several times) that I did not want straight hair. She proceeds to pull out other styles that clearly do not match my color. Finally she told me, "Well you should just get 30 or 430, because that's all we have". Wait...let me get this straight. Since your supply is inadequate and insufficient, I should just go out with my hair not matching and looking a hot mess because 'that's all you have'? Ok... The experience I had here was unacceptable. And it is not the first time the customer service has been lacking, but this has definitely been the worst. If you don't have what I need, then say so. If you need to take a call, then say so. Sistas spend way too much damn money in here to be bothered with this kind of foolishness. The customer service was the main reason I'd travel unfathomable distances to spend my money here. Those days have come to an end. They can kiss my money goodbye.

I then asked if I could schedule an appointment, but the person who answered hung up right after I asked. I called back to try again, and the individual on the phone was still very rude. They said they had a 6:00 PM slot available. I confirmed that 6:00 worked for me, but they repeated multiple times that they close at 7 and that 6:00 was the only time available. Each time I confirmed that 6:00 was fine. At this point I started to get agitated that I had to repeat myself 3 times just to confirm the time. They then asked for a phone number to confirm the appointment. I said that if they could see the number I was calling from, that number was fine to use. After a moment of silence, instead of responding normally, the person suddenly yelled "HELLOOOO?" into the phone. I explained that I thought they might already have my number, but I could provide it if needed.
