The ladies at the front desk were friendly and professional. The best part was Dr Kindred, she has great bedside manners, very knowledgeable and she even did a diagram for me as she was explaining to me what was going on. I feel safe in her care, which is so important when it comes to healthcare providers for me. I did not feel like I had to do anything that I was uncomfortable doing. I am looking forward to many great experiences.

Stay away unless you want excuses and last minute cancellations. Daniel appears to be a genuine guy…read morewhen he is around to perform work, but consistently cancels at the last minute within an hour of the appointment and will disappear without rendering service. Had other SMP artists warm me about him and having to complete his work, but Daniel seemed to have good reviews at the time and the initial consultation and first service went well. Moving forward into my second SMP session, I would shave my head prior to arriving at an appointment to make things faster for SMP, and I would get a call or text with excuses that 1.) his house burnt down, 2.) He was not feeling well, 3.) Had to make a last minute trip to Miami for business. While some personal issues may be true and warranted (having sympathy for him during difficult times), it was too many to count. He then stopped communicating with me and never completed my third-session...not fulfilling his services. Nothing upsets me more than being ghosted and my money stolen. Overall, based on my personal experience, I don't recommend him. Look for artists who showcase professionalism and not broadcast how much bling they have on the Internet. For someone who has had such a great run in this business, I don't think the excitement or passion is there anymore. As a last note: I've noticed his business name has changed several times over the past few years and the one on Google doesn't match his Scalp Allure website

I have not seen any other artists capable of producing results like Daniel. He is very passionate about his art & helping others. Daniel has changed my life for ever with his scalp micro-pigmentation procedure. I have never felt as confident & handsome as I do now. I could never repay him for what he has given me. When doing a procedure like this you want only the best. Daniel is the best there is without a doubt. Do not choose any artist besides Daniel Yerenburg at Scalp Allure.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel like this needs to be said. The receptionist was, without…read morequestion, the most unfriendly and unwelcoming customer-facing person I've ever encountered. From the moment I walked in, their tone was cold, dismissive, and at times outright rude. Simple questions were met with visible annoyance, and there was little to no effort to be helpful or even polite. It made an already stressful situation feel even more uncomfortable. That said, once I got past the front desk, my experience completely changed. The PA and the technician in the back were absolutely wonderful--kind, friendly, and professional. They took the time to listen, made me feel at ease, and provided great care. It's unfortunate that the first point of contact left such a negative impression, because the clinical staff truly deserve recognition for the positive experience they provide. I hope management takes a closer look at the front desk experience, because it doesn't reflect the level of care happening behind the scenes.

I met with Dr. Blumenthal in person and he told me I'm equally fit for FUT or FUE, maybe a little…read moremore FUT, but that wherever I go, I should only go to somewhere that does both. Then when I emailed with the general manager Jerry, he only gave me FUT prices, and told me Dr. Blumenthal says FUT was best. When I asked if they even do FUE procedures, I got no response. I did not go further as they had lost my trust at this point, and by Dr. Blumenthal's own advice, people should not go there. If you look at the website, you see the term "HUE" thrown around a lot, which also seems misleading as it is not FUE but actually FUT.

Felt like I was at home! You can tell they all love what they do. Best part was I didnt feel any pain! I'm grateful to get this done through them and i would absolutely recommend them to others.

I would travel for this luxury. The spa is in a building with a bunch of other small hair salon businesses. The lobby area is small, you can in when you're there and she will buzz you in. She was finishing up with a previous client. Her salon is very cozy! Love the ambiance and you felt immediately zen. Anna Mae also has a very calming demeanor which is nice. She was very sweet from the start and throughout the entire process making sure I was comfortable. She offered me snacks and beverages as well. She started by looking at my scalp up close with her camera and I was shook with how much build up and nasty stuff was on my scalp. I'd been having itchiness and flakiness for the past 6 months so that's also why I was really looking forward to this scalp detox. She taught me so much about things I can do to better my scalp help which can go such a long way. She also shed light that the products I'm using are harming my hair which I would've never known. She's very knowledgeable and it was relieving to know what has been causing my scalp issues and how to fix it. She did a did deep scalp detox and cleanse which was very relaxing. Some of the solutions felt tingly on my scalp but I liked that feeling. The vibration scalp massage was my favorite part. After she did the entire scalp detox and treatment, she showed me the aftermath and all the build up was gone. You could even see new hair follicles already which was crazy. After she showed me that, she blew out my hair and made it all pretty. She recommended I come back in 2 weeks to follow up and see the progression. if I continue to see her within 6 weeks, the scalp detoxes are free which is nice. It is expensive but it's worth it. The scalp detox is $155, and the deep cleaning was an extra $125. The blowout was $65.

Parking & Location This was located at a strip mall so the parking was plentiful. It was a huge parking lot so I see no one having issues finding a parking spot. This was located in a suite of salons located in Woodbridge, VA. Ambiance The entrance was very secure as it was double doors and you needed to call your stylists before being granted entry to the actual suites. In between the double doors is a small sitting area. I used the directory to dial Anna Mae and she responded fast. She was out to greet me within minutes. I followed her back to her private salon where I was surprised to see that there were no other clients. Normally, at any salon you'll have one person under the hair dryer, another waiting, and one still in the chair finishing up. This was already a plus because it was a custom experience. Experience She begun by introducing herself to me and showing me as well as telling me about her certifications. She is not only a Licensed Cosmetologist but also a Certified Japanese Head Spa Specialist. Next she offered me snacks and chai tea....happily excepted all of the above. I mean these were the good snacks, kind bars, Olli Pop soda, RXBAR protein/granola bars, and fresh chai tea. She explained the service options and possible add-ons. I opted for the deep cleaning option. Then she brought out the camera and showed me my scalp that I do not grease but looked like it hadn't been washed in a long while. She proceeded to take me over to the shampoo table, yes you lay down to get your hair washed. She provided me with a steam warm eye patch to place over my eyes, and I got under a big cozy blanket. She put a pillow under my legs so I would be comfortable. She was very gentle as I have type 4 natural hair and she took her time to separate my hair into sections, detangle, and used her finger pads to scrub my head. As if that was not enough, she asked permission to massage my feet and later my back. Consent is so important and she definitely understood that. Of course I agreed and was basically in heaven. I believe the massagers were percussion massagers so they had some power to them. When I was all washed, I went back to the chair and received a scalp massage as well. Then she showed me my scalp again on the camera and explained the treatment to me. It looked like someone else's head based on the earlier video. I could even see where some of the follicles were trapped and unable to grow from the previous build up and had now been freed (if that makes sense). I opted for the blow dry add on because why not. She'd been so gentle with my type 4 hair and I figured I would milk it. LOL the experience was immaculate and Anna Mae was a wonderful stylist!! Ten out of Ten would absolutely recommend her services. I will be back for special occasions or treats :).

I've been avoiding salons due to COVID but my hair was suffering (sore scalp, breakage, itching,…read moreetc). I'd wasted lots of time and money on products that didn't help and I needed a solution fast to avoid further damage to my coils. I took the leap of faith and booked with Terri and I have no regrets.

Terri was so nice and took me in even though I was late to my appointment (by the way, if you don't know where her salon is, it's in the mall, tucked away, like a gem, in the Salon Plaza stall (which is what you will look up in the mall directory). Besides her genuine kindness and being very personable, which made me feel very comfortable, Terri knows what she is doing! She provided me with a consultation and helped me decide what style to get that compliments my face well, what will look good for my hair, in the long run. I'm definitely not the expert, and Terri IS! She knew what I was thinking and was able to tell me that what I had in mind wouldn't work and when I went with her advice, it was exactly the cut I was envisioning in my head but Terri, the expert, did her magic! In addition, she added her touch by taking good care of my hair and offering advice to care for it. She finished off by taking the time to style it to make it look so good. When choosing to trust a hairstylist, I'd rather have someone take time on my hair to make it look beautiful and make sure that I am happy with it, rather than someone who wants to accommodate as many customers that they are not concerned about how the client feels about her hair. Teri takes her time and it the after product is beautiful. I walked out of that salon and right away was receiving so many compliments from random people around the mall! It was awesome!

Review for The Art of SMP by Chris Herrera, Kensington, MD…read more From a woman with alopecia I've had alopecia for a few years now, and after trying different wigs, fibers, concealers, even seeing dermatologists, nothing gave me the kind of confidence boost I was hoping for. I finally decided to try scalp micropigmentation (SMP) with Chris Herrera at The Art of SMP in Kensington, MD -- and I'm so glad I did! Kindness, Respect & Comfort From the first consultation, Chris and his team made me feel seen & heard. They listened to my concerns (uneven patches, sensitive scalp, what my "look" goals were) without rushing me. The environment is professional but warm. Staff were gentle and respectful. Because of the patchiness I had, I was anxious but Chris guided me through what realistic expectations are, and didn't overpromise. They reassured me about pain, healing, colour matching, which helped a lot. They know how emotionally heavy hair loss is, especially for women, and they treated it not just like a cosmetic fix but something that matters deeply. The price point is perfect, Given the durability of the work (touch‑ups needed but not often), I feel like it was worth every dollar!!! This is not a paid review or discount review, I'm a real female with alopecia living in Virginia. I wish I knew of this years ago.

I did not want to go back to NY for another procedure because of the risk of catching Covid, so I was very relieved to find Chris near me. When I went to meet Chris's I was impressed with how clean and professional looking his office was. Chris did an analysis of my head and recommended a treatment plan. The treatment plan was exactly what I was looking for. Chris did a rework of my head and restored it to its former glory. I have met many artist before and honestly believe that Chris is the most talented and skilled artist I have ever met. If you live in the DC area and are looking for an artist who has the integrity to keep his appointments, is a perfectionist, and will make your head look as natural and undetectable as possible, then Chris is the only solution. Thank you Chris for the amazing job you did. You exceeded my expectations!
