    It's not been three months. I just wanted to update my review from March. Management's response on Google conveniently made it seem that they were going to do something to rectify the situation. They never once contacted me. Not to offer a free treatment for my fried hair or to fix the color that was messed up by Tayla. It's not been three months and my hair has grown out. I just wanted to post a picture of how terribly my hair was damaged. You can see that I completely lost my curl pattern on one side of my head. This is due to Tayla's negligence when lifting my hair with bleach. You can VERY clearly tell what side was in the plastic wrap (which I still think is an insane way to safely lift hair and so do the other stylists I discussed this with when I went to get my hair fixed) for far too long. Disappointing that I was not personally contacted at all to fix this... just a general reply. Clearly they don't care about customers. Take your business elsewhere. I went to Pink dynamite and had my botched hair color fixed by Theresa whose prices were incredibly fair. If you're reading this, go there.

    I had a wonderful experience at the salon. Tayla is amazing. She is attentive, professional and very skilled. She will make sure you are happy! She checks in with you every step of the way and has a great eye. I LOVED my balayage and my hair cut. It's great and rare to find an amazing stylist and a salon with a great environment.

    Insane experience. DO NOT GO HERE for blonde hair. Manager is additionally not going to help if they do something crazy to your hair. I went in to have brassiness in blonde hair corrected. Stylist suggested going darker then lightening. I agreed to a dark blonde toner. Below are before and after photos and the vision photo I gave them. I have now learned that this plan was NOT an advisable plan to begin with as dying bleached hair and then immediate-bleaching you cannot predict the outcome. Additionally it will kill your hair. Lastly, it looks like he mistakenly chose a very red color. Manager was incredibly unprofessional. Save your money. Save your hair. Don't go here- there are too many great salons in Georgetown.

    Do not go here for color unless you want patchy, brassy and uneven hair. This was a major lesson for me in doing research into salons before showing up. I asked for subtle, ashy brown highlights. The pictures here should speak for themselves. I had to go in twice to try to get it fixed and each time it got worse. I'm currently at another salon fixing the damage and I was asked if the person who did this has a license. On top of everything, I was overcharged. Definitely never going back.

    Do not go to Aveda in Georgetown unless you want to pay $150 for a choppy and uneven haircut. What a waste of time and money! I'm going to have to go to a different salon in a few weeks just to get this fixed! Update: Aveda called me and gave me a full refund for the haircut. Good customer service on this front.

    Finished product- long layers done by Zak!

    I would not recommend a facial here--in the days following I've had redness and pimples in the treated areas that were not there before.

    this place is very dependent on the threader(is that what they are called?) i like this location…read morebecause of its proximity and plenty of free parking nearby, some of the threaders(yeah im just gonna keep using that term) are good, but some are exquisitely bad. the one today was in the latter category. i have full, thick brows and they look good even when they are NOT threaded(hey i tried to be humble, but ...it...didnt..work..). on occasion, i will get them threaded for a more refined look. the threader today did not do that. one of my brows got hair removed excessively and looked uneven by comparison and there were no sharp lines. i did point this out to the threader(who willl remain nameless) who insisted everything was good. she also applied lotion to my brows without asking me first, which is made my face all itchy and i washed it off immediately. i usually get an astringent like witch hazel, which P.E. has too but the threader usually will ask me first what I want. gee, gosh damn , is that so hard? anyway, once a threader messes up, i do NOT want them to fix it, bc that usually makes it worse...way worse. so i will have to get creative with my pencil and mascara brush. and honestly, im very irritated. im putting my pic from today and one from another salon where i got my brows done before.picture is worth a thousand brows after all. btw, i PREFER the P.E. in tysons corner mall, i have NEVER had any issues there.

    I love love love this place. I've been going to this place to get my lashes done for almost three…read moreyears. I get the yumi keratin lash lift done every 10-12 weeks. I use to get them done every 8 weeks, but now that my lashes are longer I noticed they can last up to 10-12 weeks. I also noticed my lashes got so much longer after I was doing these lifts for a year. Semra is amazing. She's always gentle with my lashes and takes amazing care to make sure they look good. I always leave satisfied with my lashes. My eyes are usually very sensitive as well. When I use to get regular lash lifts, my eyes would get irritated. But with the yumi lash lifts, my eyes aren't irritated. I think the chemicals are more gentle than regular lash lifts. Also I love the natural look of these lashes. They're so curly and long and just naturally pretty. I also got my brows done twice here. I usually don't get my brows done because I don't really care about my brows as much as I do my lashes lol, but Semra made my brows look really nice as well. I was impressed by how different I look with them shaped better. I will think about doing my brows more often here

    TL;DR (long version in the photos)--I never write reviews of businesses, let alone small businesses…read morebut I am hoping that doing this will save someone else what I went through. I visited Semra's studio twice and she gave me a severe allergic reaction (Google PPD allergic reaction and HD Brows and BrowSculpt) that left me with severe hives on my face and extreme swelling of the eyes/ face for which I had to see three doctors and had to use six separate medications. It took me over a month to fully recover (I visited her salon Sept. 17, and am only now fully recovered as of late Oct.). After I told her about it, the only apology she gave me was "sorry to hear about it :(" I asked her for a refund and she refused, not even refunding me the tip or the cost of the service that caused the allergic reaction. On top of that, when I sent her the pictures, her reaction most generously could be understood as ignorance about a very common allergy that occurs due to the chemicals she uses in the line of work she's been in for ~30 years and at worst as accusing me of lying. She refused to take any accountability even when her actions seriously harmed a customer. I'll let you draw whatever conclusions you believe appropriate from my experience.
