This is actually a review for Hair by Rick in David's Beautiful People, but considering it's more or less the same thing... I found Rick through Groupon of all things! I was desperate for a touch up and had a teeny tiny budget (if I had a bigger one, I would have gone to Grazia at The Shop). At any rate, my gamble paid off. Rick is another true artist with hair and I always come out looking amazing (well, to the best of his or any human's ability without actual plastic)! He is upfront about what he plans on doing, as well as the cost. He also tries to work with you if you are a good client who is "financially challenged." Granted, one should never take advantage of anyone's kindness, and I have a strict rule that my parents taught me when I was young which is: "If you can't afford to provide a decent tip (as in 18-20% or more), you can't afford to have the service!" I always try to tip on the "rack rate" if the rate seems less than usual. I appreciate the fact that he is honest and upfront about his services and cost as it helps me budget for something I may want later but can't afford now. Rick also seems to have his little client family, which I really appreciate. It shows how much he really cares about and respects his clients. After all, it is seriously a good idea to have a good relationship with the person who is wielding a sharp object near your head for a living, the rest is obvious! The staff at David's is polite, pleasant, and helpful. This includes everyone from the person at the front desk to the shampoo people. There is one shampoo lady who gives the most amazing head and neck massages! The environment is welcoming and clean. They have self serve bagels and cream cheese *in the morning, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and filtered water always, clean bathrooms, and plenty of sinks to wash your hands in. It makes for a nice little "happy" place! * I'm not sure how the current Covid 19 pandemic might affect the morning "bagel bar." That could be a goner... read more

I found this salon online when looking for a new stylist and I'm SO happy I did. Came across Morgan's profile when I was checking the salon out on Instagram and loved her work. Texted her for an app and she had an opening that weekend luckily. I showed her some pics and told her about what I was looking for, and she killed it. She really took her time with my hair and her skills are crazy good she's so talented. Love the cut, love the color, cannot wait to go back again. Highly recommend! read more

Emilia cut my very thick overgrown hair and styled it beautifully. My regular stylist is out of the country. It was less expensive than anticipated. Will visit them at their new location at 5224 Nicholson Lane in N Bethesda. read more

I came into this salon originally for a curly perm. When the hair dresser came to greet me "20 minutes late" she said that I didn't need a perm but what I needed was to fix my roots and a hair cut. I was really hesitant at first but she was persistent. When I asked if I could go for a reddish brown or something natural looking She kept insisting I go more of a fusia color. I mean she INSISTED And sort of made it feel impossible to help me out with what color I had in mind. Low and behold the hair comes out very purple Ish brown and to top it off they didn't wash it all out so I had red splotches on my head and all over my roots. I will say that the hair cut did come out really nice. But I left paying for a 200 dollar color and cut And I was not a fan of the color at all I wanted something natural and left with a color I felt was forced upon me and very purple. read more

I went to David's for the first time yesterday and had my hair done by Philip. The experience was great. I arrived a little earlier than my appointment time. The receptionist greeted me right away and Philip was ready for me. I haven't been to a salon in over a year because I'm trying natural ways to care for my naturally curly hair. I was really hesitant to go to a salon but Philip really eased that for me. He took care of my hair gently and offered ways to take care of it at home too. He trimmed my hair with care and then styled it in loose waves, exactly like in the inspiration photo that I showed him on my phone. I felt really pretty after my appointment and I'm looking forward to making more appointments with him to help keep my hair in good shape! Will definitely return! read more

David's Beautiful People - Loved my hair done by Philip! - Hair Salons Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Awful haircut that I received about a month ago. My hair looks like an uneven thinned out mushroom, and I have no idea how I'm supposed to correct this. Not the first time I've received a poor haircut from them, but I kept coming back hoping things would be better (my haircuts started out great, but kept getting progressively worse). I went to two separate stylists Emilia, and LouisAnne and had poor experiences after the first few haircuts, with both stylists. Frankly I would not recommend this salon for men's haircuts, and the women's haircuts seemed to be for an older crowd which should have told me something. read more

I have been going to this salon since it opened. My stylist is Diane and she is fantastic. She's professional. She replicates my hair into any picture I Show her. Without a picture, Diane knows exactly what to do when I explain to her what I need. She's socially very adept and courteous. She's meticulous and precise when cutting the hair, focusing on strands and sections while not rushing through the process. I feel like a million dollars when I walk out of the salon, every time! read more

Love it! I had hair hair cuts from Luanna for years and the cuts have always been on trend.

I'm always wary of a salon groupon but my genius of a hair stylist has disappeared without a trace... so, I've been forced to scout out new places, and I went ahead and bought the latest groupon to this place: $99 for a haircut-and-highlights package (up to a $285 total value) Haircut, blow-dry, and style (up to a $95 value) Full balayage or ombre highlights (up to a $155 value) Conditioning Nanokeratin treatment (a $35 value) Of course, I was assigned a junior stylist who had only been there 8 months (Alex), but my consult included a discussion with his manager (a senior stylist... Val?) and I felt I was in good hands. 2 hours later: I LOVE MY HAIR!!! Alex was super friendly and clearly in love with his work. We were complimented by several other stylists during my haircut/blowdry so that was a fun bonus :) I'm hesitant to pay full price for the service because $300 seems very expensive for a trip to the hair salon but I would definitely go back to David's next time I want a major change. I'm actually very curious why the yelp reviews are so bad and why David's chose to advertise via Groupon... there are at least 10-15 stylists there and everyone single person was booked when I showed up. Business seemed booming and everyone around me looked like regulars (I think I was the only Groupon redeemer!). Lucky for me, I scored on this deal! I definitely hope to see another deal from David's! :D read more

I recently purchased a Groupon for a manicure/pedicure and I made an appointment with Jessica for my service. I was on my way to the appointment and got a phone call that she was running behind. No biggie... it happens. I got there and she still wasn't ready for me so the salon offered me a free hair service (blowout) for the inconvenience. Although I was disappointed that I had to wait, I was impressed with the customer service because: 1. They took the time to call initially to let me know the manicurist was running late; and, 2. They offered me a free service since I had to wait (quite awhile) after arriving. Btw, this was not their fault.. I later found out that they were short staffed that day...which is why they were running behind. I needed to run other errands anyway, so I told them I'd just stop back and asked if I could use the free service the following day since I had a wedding to attend. They agreed and booked the appointment. So,back to the mani/pedi experience... I came back after running a few errands and Jessica got started with me. I think they could have offered more polish choices; there wasn't a lot to choose from (in comparison to other nail salons I've been to) so I decided to go with the classic French manicure/pedicure per the manicurist's recommendation. Jessica took her time (despite being short staffed that day & running behind) and did a great job overall. She was also really sweet :-) I tipped her well and left a happy customer. The following day, I arrived (a few minutes late) for my blowout with Adelia. I arrived slightly panicked and I explained that I didn't have a lot of time to work with since I had to be at a wedding in just over an hour that was in D.C. She explained to the shampoo assistant that I was pressed for time so the assistant got started right away. This really put me at ease. I didn't bring a photo for Adelia and since it was my 1st time with her, she didn't know what my preferences were. That said, I was really impressed that she styled my hair exactly how I would have styled it.. but way better! It looked simple & classy which is exactly what I wanted. Adelia did an awesome job and she was really pleasant as well. She made my whole day :-) In closing, I agree with some of the other reviewers that the salon could use some updating. They've been around for a few decades and it shows. However, I liked the vibe in this place...every staff member that I interacted with was really nice and I was treated well from the time I first stepped foot in the door. This place doesn't have a luxurious spa atmosphere but it also doesn't have the pretentiousness that typically goes along with those types of establishments and I found that to be refreshing. read more

This is the third time or so that I've gotten my hair done here. I've seen Fatma every time - The first time I had a balayage done. I went from a pretty dark brown and Fatma was able to get my hair pretty light, which is what I wanted. I've been hooked on the blonde since then and have come back twice already to get the it touched up and lightened some more. It took the second appointment to get to the level of blonde I am now and I love it! Fatma does an amazing job and is very detail-oriented, which I love. She keeps my hair looking and feeling amazing and healthy. Cannot recommend her enough and already looking forward to my next appointment! read more

My hair was a mess and Alex at David's Beautiful People fixed it. I had grown out color, crooked layers, blunt uneven bangs...and Alex fixed it all! I decided to take all the rave reviews on Alex from his other Yelp clients and make an appointment. I bought a Groupon and was booked for a next day appointment. When I showed up, I was a bit warm from my hike to the salon and Alex gave me a hair dryer set on cool so I could cool off. This immediately made me feel at ease and I cooled down and felt much better. I got Balayage hight lights and they look amazing! I couldn't be happier! Alex is adorable, personable, and amazing at what he does. I'll definitely be back! read more

I've gone a few times now and though I've always had Rick do my hair, the interactions I've seen between other stylists and their customers seem equally positive. There seem to be many long-time customers who come to the salon, always a good sign, and though a woman at the front desk was once rude to me a while back, the people that are typically there are very friendly and helpful. One of the things that rates this place a 5 instead of 4 star place for me is the woman who shampoos your hair-she also massages your neck and it's amazing! I know a relationship with one's stylist is a personal thing, but I personally recommend Rick. He listens, and he's friendly, experienced and professional. read more

I wish I could give the place 0 star. I came here because I was given a Groupon as gifts. I was really worried as there are a lot of negative reviews for Groupon from this place. They were right! The stylist: He doesn't speak English fluently and I had a hard time explaining what I want. He was unprofessional and didn't know what to do based on the pictures I showed him. During the process, he showed his impatience for each step, one significant one was when he applied the dye. After bleaching, my hair showed a bright blonde undertone. He applied the grey dye he mixed and said wait 25 minutes. Every 10 minutes he came back and check the color. By the second time, he straight up applied more BLACK dye and said this would be quicker. The result: - My hair is 3 inches shorter than originally agreed upon. - My hair color is yellow and green, no sign of grey. It looks as if I dyed my hair years ago and now the color is fading away. - The conditioning on Groupon is technically a 10 minutes with conditioner, my hair is now brittle and dry. Now I'm sitting in front of the salon crying and wishing I had never come here to get my hair done. read more

Rick is a nice guy and good stylist; however, after he cut my hair, he left saying "let me walk her back," walked over to the reception and didn't return for over 10 minutes and I had no idea why, I expect that when I make an appointment for a cut that costs $90 that the stylist should respect the time. read more

If you want quality extensions, go see Scarlett!! My naturally curly hair was pretty short and a little damaged from the a previous weave and extensions from another salon that were glued/fusioned into my hair/bad!! Scarlett cured my hair with a healthy keratin treatment and healthy Dreamcatchers extensions! My hair has miraculously grown many inches since I've had the extensions and to the point that we've taken the majority of them out because now I have the links! Thank you Scarlett! read more

I am so particular about my hair and criticize almost every haircut I have ever had - then I met Ghee - a few years ago. Since then I have been getting keratin treatments and haircuts from him and have never been unhappy. He is meticulous executing the keratin treatment - he is patient and thorough. The treatment lasts twice as long as any other place I have been. His haircuts are equally meticulous - he reviews and perfects each haircut. Over the last 3 or 4 years I have loved every haircut, and always get compliments on my hair. read more

So, I've decided that my final review of this place is going to be based on my next visit here. (My second time with a different stylist, to be totally fair to David's.) Some background, my hair is naturally blonde and pretty thin. I like the colour a bit on the lighter side of my natural colour. Usually I get highlights and roots done. But I'm new to the area, and was hesitant about finding someone I trusted with my hair color. (Especially because I was due to get married in a week at that point and it was a destination wedding.) So I asked around, and one of my colleagues recommend Morgan at David's. I looked up her Instagram, and I loved the pictures of her work. After googling, I also learned that they had a pretty good Groupon deal going on for what I needed. It wasn't a cheap Groupon at $150, but it seemed like a great value. So I thought, why not? After buying the Groupon, I called to make the appointment. (This was back in November '17) I was told that, like other people here have said, the Groupon actually only applies to certain stylists. Morgan was not one of them. In fact, the Groupon actually applies to students who are not totally finished with their supervision hours. There was nothing written about this, so now I had this Groupon and was sort of stuck. The girl on the phone was very nice, and said she would put me with someone who she thought would do a great job. So I decided to take the chance, thinking they could fix it if it ended up being not what I wanted. Day of the appointment rolls around. The place is actually around an hour and a half from where I live in traffic, but at the time I was willing to go anywhere to get my hair the way I wanted. When I got there, David's was super busy. It really is a very popular place! My stylist was a very sweet girl in her early 20s. I showed her pictures of what I was looking for, and the shade that I wanted my hair. And then she got to work. Everything was fine until she put the colour in with the foils. After sitting under the dryer for a bit, she checked my hair a few times and then called over the stylist that was supervising her. They poked at my hair for a bit and I sort of got the idea that the colour ended up being a bit different than she had expected it to be. The stylist recommended that she use a toner to take the colour down a notch. So, back into the sink. The whole process took around four hours, and I started to get worried because I know usually it doesn't take this long to put highlights in. When everything was done, she blew out only the front of it with the dryer so I could see it. (I don't know if she was strapped on time, or if they don't blow dry finished hair out, but this was the first time I left a place with wet hair.) Even though the stylist did a really good job with the spacing of the highlights and the coverage, the colour was not what I wanted. Normally my blonde is golden, and that day it was ashy and what she called a "silver-blonde." I was pretty disappointed at the end and I didn't really know what to say after four hours in the chair. I thanked her and paid, and let it roll around in my mind for a bit. When I got home, I called the salon back and let them know I was unhappy with it. David's was super prompt in getting back with me. They apologized and immediately set my hair up to be fixed without charge. They said the same girl would be fixing it, but there would be a senior stylist supervising more closely. (Which I get it, that's how they learn of course. But I didn't set out to be colouring practice a week before my wedding.) The next day I did end up going back, and the two stylists were able to change the colour a bit. It still was not exactly what I had hoped for in terms of colour, but it was close enough and I took it as a personal lesson to avoid trying to cut costs with my hair. After that visit, I'm giving David's a 3/5 stars. The reasons being that the staff was extremely nice and polite. They dealt with my issues in a timely and professional manner, and they cared about my satisfaction. I didn't like that they had specific unwritten rules on the Groupon policy, or that it can only be applied when you use a student stylist. It's still pricey, and if you pay around $200 for highlights with a tip, I think the quality should be there. However, I think I'm not totally faultless in this. I should have just paid outright and booked with Morgan like I originally wanted to. So, my experience did not deter me from going to David's again in the future and booking with a different stylist. As of now, I have an appointment booked with another stylist, Enrique, for tomorrow (no Groupon) and I will update this review accordingly. ***Updated: So, I have to change the star rating now. Enrique did an absolutely AMAZING job on my hair. It was pricey, but well worth it. So, here's an extra star just for employing Enrique. read more

I am so glad I went to this place!! I purchased the Balayage deal from Groupon but after reading all the terrible comments I was quite skeptical. However, after I met my stylist Kristine I decided to take a chance. Kristine is very friendly and knows what she is doing. She did a great job!! read more

I went into David's to darker my hair color with Philip, and got the perfect color, cut, and blow out! He was great with fixing my horrid reddish/orangey highlights into a subtle, luscious dark brown!! He did amazing, definitely recommend him and will be coming back soon!! Thanks Philip!! :) read more

Great job by a great staff! I appreciate Enrique and all that he does to make it a positive experience. This salon is under new ownership since last year, and the improvement is notable. read more

My mom came here today and they did a horrible job. They missed a complete spot coloring her hair. We went back right after we saw it in the day light immediately after leaving. Morgan who was helping her ended up having the blow dry girl fix the missing spot??? Further they proceeded to only blow dry the spot they missed and fixed after exposing the hair to moisture ... really bad experience after spending $100 bucks ... their remedy was to just come back and we will fix it. You should have blow dried the whole head not one spot!! Time is valuable and you waisted so much time when it should have been done right the first time if you are professionals... people can't just come back and wait. I feel like they took advantage of her because she is old. I got treated well on my visit. My advice don't go here. read more

I think it really depends who you go to here. But the one stylist that I stuck with did OK. I called in to ask who would be a great colorist for asian hair, and she was recommended to me. She is a very friendly stylist but I think as far as younger hair trends goes, she's not the right person for it. I expressed my desire for darker brown highlights and she strongly advocated a little lighter, so I ttrusted her since she ensured me that it would come out great. It came out very light brown with BLONDE highlights. I had to wait several months before redoing the color (it was $100+ so I couldn't afford to splurge again.) I know blonde highlights work on some Asians, but on me, it looked so unnatural. My friend came with me for support and afterwards she was kind of baffled by my new hair color. I also did not attain the perfect side swept bangs I wanted. Also, my experience with a washer wasn't good. when I was ready to get my hair cut, after I was put under the slow hair dryer for a hair treatment (the thing where you put a dome over your head) the hair washer neglected to tell me when it was done nearly after 30+ minutes. I kept asking the other washers where my washer was, and if I was supposed to shut it off, and what I was supposed to do. They tried looking for her and said that she was coming right away. I had waited so long before she rushed back in... turns out she was on a cigarette break. She seemed SLIGHTLY apologetic, but not really--needless to say, I didn't tip her. Overall, nice stylists but not my style. I've heard good things about the leading sylists but I won't be back...I can't cheat on a stylist in the same place! read more

If I could give this place less than 1 star, I would. This is an update from my previous Review. I bought a Groupon and tried out the place. Posted a review, trying to get someone to take care of the situation. Instead of getting an apology and further questioning about the Rusty nail utensils, I get called a "liar, rude and ignorant" by the owner. Mr. David, I know exactly what I saw. When I say I saw rust... I saw it! Don't you worry about it, go tell the Asian lady who did my nails to replace them as soon as possible, because I will send a friend to get her nails done at your place JUST so I can snap that picture and post it in here. Don't call me a liar and say that I'm crazy and rude, because I let you know of the things that you aren't aware of. I have spoken to several people at my workplace who have gone to go get their nails done at your salon and they have told me the exact same thing. So please, instead of being an asshole to your costumers, go into your hair salon and check the nail utensils because they ARE INDEED RUSTY! I was going to say wonders about your costumer service and your front desk, because they are really nice friendly ladies. But I see how much you value your costumers just by reading your comment. You probably haven't even heard of the word costumer service in your life! I will never go back to your saloon, because I don't need any kinds of illnesses on my hands or fingers, just like I would never refer any of my friends to your place. But what I WILL do is get that picture and post in here... you just wait. Oh, and instead of focusing on my spelling, focus on your business and the critics that you get. If your place was so grandiose and fantastic, you would not get so many bad reviews on yelp. Look at it?!! It barely gets 21/2 stars. Wake up, you clients aren't happy and you need to sign up for the course Courtesy 101 read more

Until my normal stylist left, I always had great experiences at David's. When my stylist unexpectedly quit, I was assigned to a new stylist. She barely spoke English and didn't understand what I wanted despite the fact that I brought in several photos. I decided that I would have better luck with a different stylist who sort of snaked me away from the first. This stylist has been with the company for over 10 years and the fact that she clearly knew what I wanted made her an obvious candidate to cut my hair. I'm not sure what went wrong that day. She cut my hair, didn't put any product in it and blow-dried it with her hands instead of a brush. The finishing technique was later explained as a disconnect. Furthermore, she told me that she didn't use hair products and honestly didn't really know anything about them. I thought this was odd, but her decade of experience excused it in my head. Then, I went over to Ulta and asked the lead stylist there for suggestions on hair products. After a short conversation about how I usually style my hair (I didn't know at that point because I had just gotten 5+ inches cut off!) she asked to look at it and then told me to sit down. She proceeded to show me the back of my head, where my hair was clearly uneven and she spent the next hour fixing my hair--for free. I was really upset and just going to cut my losses at Davids, but my sister convinced me that spending $70 on a haircut that has to be fixed is completely unacceptable. I wrote David an email describing my situation and told him that I was very upset and he refunded my money and told me my next haircut is on the house. I think he handled the situation beautifully. He called me just a few hours after I sent him the email and I really do appreciate his dedication to customer service. I, however do not intend to go back to Davids. read more

I had the worst hair salon experience of my entire life here. I had a very simple request for getting my hair cut and colored, and it was a complete disaster. After attempting to go back and have the problem resolved, I am left with a chunk of GREY hair that looks absolutely terrible--all of the color has been pulled out of it, and it's damaged to all heck. I would not go back to this place, ever. read more

I went to see Rick using a Groupon he created to gain new clientele. To clarify I went twice; the first time was to get a haircut and redeem the groupon for a new style consult and cut with the Moroccan oil treatment. After my first visit there I would have rated my experience a solid 2.5-3 stars, because Rick gave me a decent cut, but he missed a few spots in framing my face and bothered me because my frame and bangs weren't even - my fringe bangs actually looked pretty OK in terms of length, though. So, because I promised him that if there was a correction that I felt needed to be made, I would come to him, I did just that.... That was my biggest mistake! I walked in to get some extra framing on the sides done and even out the look, and he chopped my bangs wayyyy shorter. It looks terrible! I can't control my bangs and it looks like I have a mullet. What's worse is that he told me he's been giving this cut to other women who walked in with the groupon. :-/ I'm traumatized by this experience and have no intention of going back to Rick ever again. read more

I would never go back here. I bought a Groupin and my mother swears by David, so I thought I'd give it a try. For starters, I found the front desk extremely unresponsive--no one greeted me, and I had to wait 10 minutes before I could check out. The guy who did my Brazilian Blow-Out rushed the job; it lasted at most 2 weeks. PLUS he did not recommend the proper shampoo and conditioner for maintaining it (I've had it done before, somewhere else, so at least one of us had a clue). The place is just too big with too many stylists. There is no way the owner or senior stylist can really keep track of quality control. On the plus side, the woman who washed my hair was nice. read more

I used a Groupon to get a cut and highlights. This business ended up charging me extra $60! with no receipt for what I expected to be included in my deal. And informing me about an additional cost as I was preparing to leave. The only reason i'm not giving 1 star is because haircut turned out to be ok. Highlighting was disappointing. You can't really see it from the front, but as i turn around on the sides and back it looks like I'm wearing a wig with hair sticking out or bad extensions that don't really match. Plus the hair washing lady was pulling my hair with a brush so hard that my scull still hurts a day later. Update: I came back for a color correction to see Alex. He was really nice and did a good job fixing my bleached out bottom hair (def wish i saw him the first time around). Bottom line: after 2 hair treatments, 5h in the salon and 4h in commute I still don't have a color that I had in mind when I walked in the salon :( read more

I had a coupon for Keratin treatment so I went to Davids. Emilia did the straightening and she did such a great job. 5 stars for Emilia .... 4 stars over all because the salon needs a little upgrading. But who cares about that if you have good service from people who know what they are doing. Emilia did my hair for 3 1/2 hours( I have long really frizzy hair ) . She did such a good job. My hair went from looking like Diana Ross to a girl in a Pantene Pro V commercial. I got the treatment done in May so I am a bit overdue for this review. I wanted to get it done for a wedding and I received so many compliments on how great my hair looked. Emilia was not pushy on buying extra Keratin products and my overall experience was wonderful. One thing to mention.... I had Virgin Hair (never treated or Dyed), the treatment lasted about a month. I did not go in expecting it to last for 3 months as I was told that on virgin hair it does not last as long. It is always important to keep that in mind going in. read more

I had to come and write a rave review for Alejandro (Alex) from David's! I went in with a Groupon for a cut, style, balayge highlights, and a conditioning treatment. I used to have a pixie and attempted to grow it out for the last year and decided I wanted to go back. I showed him one old pic and he got exactly what I wanted. Throughout, Alejandro was friendly, energetic, attentive, and a perfectionist. I will definitely be returning for the upkeep on my fresh cut. I enjoyed the whole experience down to the scalp massage during washings and the whole staff and clientele. read more

David's Beautiful People - Before "bye bye" to dull hair, after and loving it! - Hair Salons Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

David, the owner, sent me an email and offered his apologies for my disappointment and told me that i would like to do what he could to remedy the situation. I didn't write my review for any reason other than to share my experience with others interested in visiting David's, so i was pleased and impressed by Davids high level of professionalism and commitment to customer service. I ended up making an appointment and returning to the salon. Enrique did my hair this time and was excellent. He took the time to talk to me and to offer me a variety of options that would fix what i was unhappy with. These guys are good business people, not only because they care about the customer, but also because they care about their reputation enough to follow up and make things right. They now have a new repeat customer in me. read more

I was first drawn by David's Beautiful People salon by its website. I then went in for a consultation with Victor Roa.. Because I was coming in from out of town, I had no need for the trial do AND an updo for my wedding date. Over the phone, Victor and I agreed that he would give me a deal, and just charge me for my wedding date updo. On my wedding date, I brought all the bridesmaids, mother and grandmother in law here. All the staff were professional and friendly, and did such an amazing job! I absolutely loved my hair! I also had fresh calla lilies in my hair, that Victor delicately put in my hair. My sister has since gone back to get red highlights, and loves it! This place can definitely take care of your wedding day needs. read more

I called to receive the $27 Groupon rate for a blowout (after I already used the groupon) and had a great experience the first time. The front desk booker said of course I could come in again for that rate and booked my apt. When I was about to be washed the manager comes over and tells me that my hair will cost $10 extra because it's longer. Excuse me?! Nobody charged me this "long hair fee" last time and nobody mentioned this on the phone when booking an apt. After I told the manager how upset she was making me she kept telling me how it was heir policy and how it's in the fine print of the Groupon. Whatever happened to keeping a customer happy? Oh, and they lost the record of me coming in a month ago so the salon couldn't see that I was only charged $27 last time. Buyer be warned about this ridiculous upcharge and rude staff read more

I wanted to update my earlier review because sadly my second experience wasn't as good. This time I saw Alejandro for a keratin straightening. He is a nice man but he didn't listen to my concerns at all. I have had many keratin treatments over the years, and find that if the stylist dries my hair 100% before applying the product, I get way better, longer lasting, results. He said that my hair needed to be damp in order to protect it. In fact when he was applying the product, he kept turning around to chat it up with other stylists/patrons and missed a few spots at the roots around my face (a frizzy area). I just wish he had complied with my request to dry my hair completely (like his colleague Adelia did during previous keratins). The treatment this time did not produce great results, and didn't last as long as when Adelia did it. A couple other things that were disappointing this time but not a huge deal: I was never offered water or coffee after my hair was washed, as I have in the past. Also, it may have just been a hectic day but it was really messy in the salon, and I just remember it being a lot classier. Lastly, there was a really creepy man (looked like a cross between Garry Busey and Bruce Jenner) who seemed to know everyone, who was walking around with his hair in foils, trying to distract the stylists and annoy the clients. No one asked him to sit down at his own station when he was clearly bothering me. read more

Update: I went to another salon and they did a GREAT job. Actually did what I wanted in the first place. They could not correct the short bangs (understandable) but corrected the blonde to orange faded highlights. The reason I did not go back to David's was because of a review I saw on here. I wanted to start fresh and the salon I went too to fix the issue went above and beyond and only charged a fraction of the price. I appreciate the owner of David's commenting on my original post; however I give a place a one time chance as first impressions are everything especially when paying hundreds of dollars for salon services. Unfortunately, David's was just not the place for me. Disappointed. Went with a groupon. Hair cut looks straight from the 80s with "wispy" bangs. Not what was agreed upon. I wanted color and cut but the stylist said highlights would be better. The color is terrible and already faded after 2 weeks. I paid $150 for this mess and am having another salon fix. read more

I've had a least three Brazilian Blowouts gone bad. What's worse than spending $300-500 on a hair treatment that doesn't work but calling back and having endless excuses as to why it didn't work without any mention of rebate or coming back in to having it fixed. I first tried David's Beautiful People because I bought a Groupon deal. I have very thick hair with tough curls in the back that are hard to tame. My initial appt I was scheduled with Mahshid. Since my first appt I have gone back to her and only her for my Brazilian Blowouts! It worked. She understands my hair, is consistent with her work (which is great) and I never feel as though she is rushing. I would recommend her to anyone. After moving out of DC I now drive 2 hours for my Brazilian Blowouts. Mahshid rocks and I won't be going anywhere else for a Brazilian Blowout ever. read more

Having moved to the area from Miami, FL; I was in dire need of finding a good salon and a stylist I could trust with my hair. I was very fortunate to have gotten Alejandro ("Alex") to do my hair. Not only is he a top-notch stylist, he is an artist! His personality is also a plus. I highly recommend Alex. If you feel you need a little help, (or a "miracle" ) with your look, Alex will not disappoint. His skilled artistry left a great impression on me, and I will return to David's Beautiful People over and over again!!! Patricia A. From Miami, FL to DC/VA/MD read more
