Of all the other salons that I've been to in the area, this was the first time a hairstylist had ever asked me questions to really understand what I was really looking for, and also very truthful on what I would be getting into! I appreciate how easy and honest the process was. (and also love my haircut too!!) -- I had Katie as my person :) They have a lot of beverages / snacks while you wait (aka diet coke).

I had my first curly cut with Ashley at Diaspora Salon and honestly ended up exactly where I was…read moresupposed to be. I had been putting it off for a while because curly cuts can get really expensive, especially with how popular they've become online lately, but this felt completely worth it and surprisingly affordable for the level of care and service I received. Ashley was wonderful from start to finish. She explained every product she used, what she was doing throughout the appointment, and gave me realistic guidance on how to maintain my curls at home. I never felt rushed, but I also appreciated that the appointment was efficient. I was in and out in about an hour and 45 minutes. The whole experience felt relaxing and thoughtful. Two shampoos, a head massage, great conversation, beautiful salon atmosphere. I genuinely felt taken care of. As someone with alopecia who doesn't go to salons often, trusting someone with my hair felt significant, and Ashley made me feel comfortable the entire time. I drove from Washington, DC and would absolutely do it again. I even bought products afterward because for the first time in a long time, my hair felt manageable and healthy in a way I could actually maintain myself. I'll definitely be back to see Ashley again for upkeep and maybe a fun style here and there too. Really grateful for this experience.

I booked a Curl Discovery Cut priced at $265, over $300 after tip, based on how the service is…read moredescribed and marketed: a premium, consultative experience that includes thoughtful shaping, education, and guidance tailored to the client's curl pattern. That is not what I received. I arrived with long, full, healthy hair that I had spent years growing and caring for. My hair was mid back length, and I communicated clearly that my priority was improving the shape while preserving as much length as possible. I did not request a dramatic cut. There was no thorough consultation. Yasmine hardly spoke to me throughout my appointment. She asked a few questions at the outset. There was no education component aside from attempting to sell me products at the conclusion of the service. Despite my very clear request to maintain my length, a significant amount of length was removed, far beyond what was discussed or was necessary to improve the shape of my hair. That loss is permanent. It will take years for my hair to fully recover, and there is nothing that can be done in a follow-up appointment to restore what was taken. Beyond the length loss, the cut itself lacked cohesion. It did not account for the different shrinkage rates across my curl patterns, which range from approximately 3C to 4B, and as a result the shape dried unevenly in an angular helmet shape with blunt awkward bangs, rather than nicely framing my face. The styling portion of the service further obscured the cut. Extremely heavy product was used, weighing my hair down and masking the actual shape. I was not given meaningful education or instruction on how to achieve my desired style at home, despite this being a central component of what differentiates a Curl Discovery Cut from a standard haircut. I left without clarity on how to properly style my own hair and with a result that looked nothing like what I had requested. In addition, the handling of my hair during the service was uncomfortably rough. In the days following my appointment, I experienced ongoing breakage that I had not been dealing with prior. After the appointment, I attempted to resolve the situation in good faith. The only option offered was an in-person assessment and potential adjustment under the salon's service guarantee. No refund, partial or otherwise, was considered. Given the extent of the length already removed, the lack of trust created by the initial experience, and the fact that additional cutting could not undo the damage, returning to the same chair did not feel like a meaningful or safe remedy. If they were genuinely sorry for what happened and the aspects of the service that were not delivered, they would offer a meaningful remedy, not a requirement to put my hair back into the same hands that already damaged it. After my experience, I read additional reviews and noticed a consistent pattern. Multiple clients describe receiving little to no actual consultation or education as part of the Curl Discovery Cut, despite that being a core part of how the service is marketed. Others note difficulty working with looser or mixed curl patterns, overly heavy styling that obscures the cut, failure to account for shrinkage, rough handling during detangling, and breakage following their visit. When concerns are raised, responses from ownership frequently rely on the service guarantee policy rather than acknowledging gaps in execution or offering a proportionate resolution. I am attaching photos with my face blurred showing my hair before the appointment, immediately after, and once fully dry. Based on the documentation and the irreversible nature of the length loss, I do not feel this service aligned with what was advertised or justified the premium price. I am sharing this so future clients can make an informed decision, especially those with long hair, mixed curl patterns, or those seeking true consultation, education, and careful length preservation.

If you cancel within 24 hrs they charge you the entire amount of the service you didn't get. I had to switch an appointment at the last minute last Saturday. It was a long story and entirely my fault. While the front desk girl was nice and polite the stylist gave me the stink face the entire time. Would not crack a smile once, and the vibes eminating off of her were hostile at best. I understand she was disappointed to lose a slot on a Saturday but she should not be sitting near the front desk if she can't control her face. After a horrible week I decided to eat the charge because the thought of having her near my hair was enough to make me never want to go back.

Nathan is hands down the best I have found in my search! The first appointment, he asked about my previous experiences and what I wanted rather than just diving in for a generic wax. He mapped my brows and showed me what shape would work best for my face, checking in at every step of the process before moving forward. I also got them tinted and we came up with the perfect shade that wouldn't overpower my light complexion. As far as facials go, the variety of treatments for various skin concerns can be overwhelming, but Nathan helped guide me in the right direction in what to choose. Everything from the express to the signature facial is a full treatment that will leave you feeling amazing. Nathan's attention to detail is amazing and suggests products to use without pushing to buy. My skin has never been clearer or brighter! Finally, the salon's COVID safety protocols are great, staff are vaccinated, but due to the close nature of their services, temp checks and masks are still in effect.
