She's conveniently located on Branch Avenue less than 10 minutes from the metro where I park to go into DC everyday. I made the appointment and confirmed online. I arrived on time and she offered to let me sit in the kitchen to finish the food I'd brought. She did have a head in her chair at the time, but I wasn't over surprised. It was a cold, rainy Thursday evening. She got me in quickly and shampooed and conditioned me herself to sit under the dryer (of course) and then she quickly wrapped one client before me and got me in the chair. All-in-all I was out in under 2-1/2 hours and I consider that a complete win. My hair was LAID and I absolutely loved my curls. Whitney does an excellent job with natural hair. I don't need a whole silk press because my hair, while curly, is fine (3c/4a) but she still did a good job of determining the heat setting from my iron (I always bring my own now) and was willing to use my heat protectant, which I appreciated. 10/10

I found out about Jemistry Hair Studio on Facebook when I was looking for recommendations for a…read morehair stylist who could do weave sew ins. After looking at Jemistry's Instagram page and seeing her flawless work, I decided to book an appointment with her. Despite her busy schedule, Jemistry was able to squeeze me in for an appointment. My original bundles and lace closure, which I provided, did not have the same color. Thus, Jemistry accommodated me and did a color correction on my bundles so that the color would match the color of my lace closure. And these are my results of the lace closure Install! I love how my hair looks and feels, and I'm really amazed at the results. For expert coloring, last minute appointment accommodations and amazing work, book Jemistry hair studio! She will not disappoint. P.S. I also appreciate the refreshments that were offered to me during my appointment. Can't get my hair done without a good ol' snack to chomp on :-).

THE WORST SALON EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE WITH DANA! This was my first time going to this…read moresalon and there were so many red flags I ignored. First red flag was her scheduling a video consultation yet never calling and claims she forgot about it yet she set the date and time. Next the 100 dollar deposit which I tried to just role with even though to me that's very steep. Next I come on time for my appointment and there no receptionist. I text to let her know I'm here and she comes out and says I think your my client. Like what? Wouldn't most professionals say ex Ashley? Idk small indicators was pointing towards the unprofessionalism ahead of time. I promise I came in at 11 am and was nearly having my hair bleached until a good 1 to 2 o'clock before any other work started which was highly questionable to me but could be standard but was unheard method to me but I tried to trust the "professional". And next berating me and raising her voice at me like I was her child because I didn't like her work so far after asking if my hair color would stay as bright while she was adding the color on and could easily just make the changes. Her disgusting attitude persist after I just try to ask can she wash it out and she tells me no without explanation rudely while sipping on a drink. I go to the bathroom to wash the dripping color that she failed to wipe off the cape and then came back to yell some more about getting under a dryer like I'm a kid and washing my hands for 30 seconds due to her sloppy work would ruin things. I came in for midnight blue hair and this lady gives a dark skin woman blue blue hair. It was so unflattering but it didn't matter to her to put her name on what the customer felt unflattering because it's about the money for her. Even another customer in the shop looks over who was unaware and asked is that royal blue? Exactly royal blue and midnight blue two different colors. A good stylist would reassure you through the process and work with you but she fanned the flame by saying well that's what you asked for don't blame me! Yelling, you over her giving me all this attitude! Mind you I said nothing nothing prior to her tangent but surely my face did because its my hair! Been natural for years and its not what I asked for. When I did nothing but ask a simple question. She was very rough with my natural hair the entire time roughly raking the comb from the top to bottom. Any African American knows with black hair to detangle you start from the bottom middle and THEN top to detangle with a comb. She was so very obnoxious. Very disrespectful. Tried to do something nice for myself and just role with it and trust a "professional" and ended up with the experience from Hell. By 3 pm which the blow drying process would have just started after being there for the longest I just opted out, I had enough of the disrespect and just wanted to pay her for services so far and just be on my way. In which at first she tried it and to say I would still have to pay her for all services and my response is yeah only for what you've already done. Then there was comments about me messing up the screen because it close out during payment on my way out even doing that. I swear to God I was boiling. Thank God my sister was able to help me after leaving the shop with my hair and color to level things out. This is the exact reason people are leery of supporting black businesses because that representation right there. I love my people but I'm so tired of encountering this same archetype hairstylist everywhere! Very disappointing experience.

Sadly a bad experience. I found them online, called ahead regarding natural hair braid down. I…read moreultimately felt I would've had to teach every part of my service to get it done to licensed standard. Of course I don't want to offend so I can't do that, instead "trust" their process. The issues: 1. My wash was not to standard. I did a scratch test & under my nails showed a lot of buildup still. A scalp should be clean after a wash. I told the girl not to be shy to scrub my scalp...I was only saying it once; I don't think she is licensed. 2. The braid down was horrendous, questionable, laughable. She "finished" and one braid was sticking out on one side, another braid on the other. I asked why didn't she connect all the braids as we agreed - that's how you protect the hair. She said "I tried but.." at that point I'm like you never tell a client you "tried but" there's no way she's licensed and should be doing hair. The braiding she did was loose also fuzzy & not clean. She gets flustered and turns me to tell the owner. The moment I ask the owners name (Mahogany btw) the owner became defensive even though I smiled relaxed just hoping for understanding & a solution. The "expert braider" is sent over to help. She says she can sew or crochet my loose natural braids into the other natural braids. I was confused as I'd NEVER heard that so asked clarifying questions which seemed to frustrate them. Totally over complicating a simple braid down lol. LSS she undos my entire braid down I noticed...mind you I had somewhere to be so without asking we reached hour 3 of a simple wash/natural braid on jaw length hair!!! Tired of the back n forth, misunderstanding, & pride/embarrassment they were all unnecessarily conveying I let her continue with the odd silence filling the air. She crochets my own hair and end pieces are sticking out its fuzzy I said I wasn't happy. 3. I got a trim. The blowout for the trim was not stretched straight and the owner proceeded to clip ends in that puffy state. The brushing of my hair felt rough throughout the trimming process. I've never had someone trim hair in that state. 4. The defensiveness, lack of listening to care therefore lack of comprehension, and pride was so not what I hoped when this is the exact persona ppl place on all black women/bwob that gives us a bad rep. I felt uncomfortable by the back n forth explaining and answering then the wild questions after "Do you want oil? Do you want oil sheen?" Would you seriously not oil a clients scalp as part of service how is that not standard? I had already noted my hair feeling dry. then before I even got out the chair the first girl had my payment on screen $58 asking how I'm paying when the expert braider turns my chair around. Terrible service handling. They can't handle constructive experiences which means they're no good for business. I cannot recommend.
