I came to New Wave Salon because my aesthetician, Susan Ali, joinEd the team there. I have enjoyed…read moreSusan's facials for at least the past 20 years. I have been a massage therapist in private practice and also a teacher of massage for the past 38 years. I am here to tell you that I am simply blown away at the quality of Susan's massage techniques during a facial. One of my favorite things is the facial massage I receive. After having taught for a number of years, I absolutely would give Susan an "A" grade if she were my student. I will be a client for life. If you are looking for both relaxation and a fabulous facial, go see Susan Ali. Accept no substitutes.

Missy has been my hair stylist for over 20 years and I always walk out of the salon feeling…read morebeautiful. Missy is extremely talented and artistic. From my personal experience, she excels with color, highlights, cuts and blowdrys. She is honest, trustworthy and treats you like family. New Wave hair salon is just as amazing as Missy. From the moment you walk into the salon you are surrounded by many busy, talented stylists performing magic. It really is mesmerizing to watch. You are greeted promptly with a smile and checked in quickly. I can't rave enough about the shampoo/scalp massages given. Carolena is amazing! I am so fortunate Missy came into my life and I am very happy with new wave salon. I would recommend both Missy and the salon to anyone who wants to listen.

I went to Sung Lim for a cut and color recently and was so impressed by his genuine attention to…read moredetail. He is a very rare stylist who thoughtfully curates a hairstyle to each individual and not simply copy/paste the same style. I particularly appreciated that he wasn't afraid to give me recommendations and take me out of my comfort zone without being too pushy. And so glad I trusted him with this recent style! Highly recommend seeing Sung if you want that personalized type of expert experience.

I donated 15 inches of my hair, and she made the whole experience wonderful. This was my first time getting my hair cut by her, but my second time dealing with Molly.

Thank you Molly !

I cannot rave enough about my visit at Progressions Salon. From the front of house hospitality to…read morethe friendliness and talent of my stylist I was truly blown away. I do not get my hair done more than once every 4 years, but I will certainly be back for a nail appointment before then, and will be recommending this salon to all of my friends. My appointment was at 8am and I was given a generously full cup of hot coffee while I waited for my stylist to settle in. I was given a little tour of the salon and impressed with how much space they have, how modern all the equipment is, and that they even have a kids room! I currently struggle to find time to get my nails done as a mom, and at Progressions I could bring my kid and get some self-love time too. They also have a vegan polish line which fits with my lifestyle. Molly was my stylist and we talked the whole appointment! She is so friendly and I loved getting to know her and sharing some of my life with her. She started by preparing my hair for a hair donation. I found Progressions Salon because they are one of the few businesses that accept hair donations. Molly was able to cut three braided donations off and then pamper me at the hair washing station. Progressions Salon has a chair that massages both your back and your butt during the hair wash and shampoo stage of the appointment. It was the best shampoo experience of my life. After the hair washing Molly gave me a very cute layered bob that complimented my curls. It is hard to find a stylist knowledgeable about cutting curly hair and she nailed it! After the cut she styled my hair and I was set to meet my friends for brunch. I felt so fashion forward and confident with my new cut, and invigorated after such a luxurious experience: Thank you Progressions Salon for my hair cut and I cannot wait for my next visit!

The waiting room offers a nice place to relax in between your sessions. There is a variety of tea, coffee, and fruit infused water available as well as biscoff cookies which are my favorite. The chairs in the waiting room have feet elevation and rotating properties. The estheticians and masseuse are highly knowledgable and are very attentive to your body needs! They even gave us a gift bag at the end of our session that included free samples and goodies. 10 out 10, would highly recommend!

The spa itself is very open, bright, and welcoming without feeling overwhelming. The location at the Pike and Rose area is easy to find and already sets the tone, The salon is thoughtfully designed, modern, very clean, and visually stunning. The open layout and lounge areas are especially inviting. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely kind. I told them that I was a bit nervous about trying the robotic massage for the first time, and both the spa director and her team went out of their way to give me reassurance that it was going to be fine. As for the robotic massage itself, it was incredible! I can honestly say it was one of the best massages I have ever had. Being able to adjust the pressure in real time, guide the focus areas, and enjoyed the entire experience. Everything felt intuitive and precise, and I had to fight the urge to fall asleep because I was so completely relaxed. This was truly a phenomenal experience from start to finish. I would rate it far beyond a perfect score, and I am already looking forward to returning. I will absolutely be bringing friends and family with me in the future to enjoy the wide range of spa services offered. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, as every detail, from the space to the people to the experience itself, was exceptional.

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!

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!!

I've often driven past Jenn Shin Studio when I'm in Rockville, and since I was looking for a new…read morestylist, I decided to finally reach out. From my first conversation with Jenn to scheduling my appointment, she was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional. She truly cares about her clients -- even though she wasn't accepting new ones, she took the time to recommend stylists at her studio who would be a great fit for my needs. I ended up booking with Cindy, and she did not disappoint! She was so sweet and did an amazing job with both my cut and color. I asked for layers and a color that would blend my grays, and she nailed it! I highly recommend Jenn Shin Studio -- and especially Cindy!

Was my hair in desperation or what. I allowed my hair to grow since last visiting in January and…read morethe color was pretty but very long overdue for a cut and refresh. I wanted to go darker, shorter and mature. Jessica has always been my girl and she did an amazing job getting me to where I wanted. I would definitely say we cut at least 6 inches off. It did take a while (8 hours to be exact), but if that's what it takes to get my hair looking amazing then so be it. They have plenty of snacks and drinks available or you can always order food for delivery. Went yesterday and it was super quiet. So I highly recommend going on a week day if you can so it's not as packed. The salon is very clean and inviting. Everyone who works here is very sweet. I haven't tried their scalp/head massage station since they've added it but heard good things.

Maayan is fantastic! She is honestly one of the calmest hair stylists I've ever met. She listens to…read moreyour needs and feedback without judgment. I started seeing Maayan for my hair extensions about a year or so ago. I wanted to find someone who used Bellami hair as that is what I was familiar with and liked. While on the expensive side, it is great quality. I first started doing tape in's with her as that is what I had been previously doing. We talked a few times about doing sew in wefts but she never pressured me. I eventually tried it and loved it. It's definitely less maintenance and less mess! I've not had to color my hair as the extensions luckily match but if I were to color or highlight my hair, I would definitely trust Maayan. She's also particular and does great work. She does book up quickly so I would recommend booking in advance. You won't be disappointed!

Even when I have unrealistic expectations for my hair, she's always honest with me and gives me options that are relatively close to what I want (always turns out better than the pictures I show her); she also takes into consideration of what would suit me best, so I'm always open to hear what she has to say. I was there this past weekend, and I've received SOOO many compliments on my hair; without fail, every single person kept reiterating my hair suits me so well! It's always a fun and exciting experience getting my hair done by Lexy, she's truly so much fun. She's always booked up, and for good reason, so you definitely want to book now! Side note - the picture does NOT do it justice

Review for Maggie Kassimis Maggie is an amazing professional…read morestylist and colorist. She has transformed my hair color to look natural along with blending my roots. She will listen and only work with one client at a time to maximize your experience and satisfaction. I just wish I found her years ago as getting my hair done is now a pleasure rather than a task. Maggie is a perfectionist and has wonderful suggestions. All of her hair color products are natural. I no longer need to sit in a salon breathing toxic fumes and have an itching/burning scalp. She genuinely wants her clients to love their hair and over the last 6 months she has given me advice on products, a fairly inexpensive hair dryer (salon perfection), and general pointers that are invaluable. For the first time, I am wearing my hair down more than ever because her style cut makes my hair manageable. The compliments on my cut, shine and color have been countless. Being a working mom, Maggie understands my schedule and has appointments that work for me. I now look forward to getting my hair done and it no longer takes countless hours.

I rarely have people comment on my hair, but now I am getting constant comments on how great it looks. Maggie has guided me through growing my hair for a longer softer look as well as trying a Brazilian Blow Out as I have frizzy natural curly hair. I love the feel and ease of caring for my hair since the Blow Out. Her rates are fair and reasonable. Did I mention she is a wonderful caring witty person. I enjoy my visits as I feel I am seeing an old friend and catching with them. I highly recommend Maggie!
