Since I was in Harford County and in need of a haircut, I knew exactly where to go! The location is still perfect--next to the park and across from the fire station, with easy access and parking. They've expanded since I was last there, and they now have a spa area. Mags, who told me she's been there for four years, cut and styled my frizzy, wavy hair, and it looks great! The price was reasonable, though not cheap, and worth it. Beware though--there was a sign on the counter that said the prices are rising "slightly" on 11-15.

Atmosphere - You can't get any better. The atmosphere is very friendly, yet chic. Really…read morecomfortable couches as you wait, all the refreshments you could want and then some, spacious and polished feel, staff is very nice, and the bathroom even has floss picks - as a dentist this is key (haha). It's a gem that somehow perfectly combines the feeling of being in the middle of center city and being in a very private salon. Haircut - You have to ask for Sarah, you would be a fool not to. If you don't know exactly what you want coming in, she'll work with you to figure that out. She is meticulous with a great attention to detail - even though there's usually someone waiting, she takes her time with you until it's perfect. And it's not like other salons I've been to where I feel pressured by other people waiting to get their haircuts; because it's so big and spacious I cannot physically see anyone waiting, so I feel calm and peaceful the entire time. Then, as you walk out you see the people waiting, not because the stylists are running late, but because people just get here early because this place rocks. The haircut Sarah gave made me feel so confident - like a new person, which is right on time seeing as how I have interviews coming up! I will definitely be going back to Sarah for another bangin' haircut!

My hair was a complete mess due to letting less than experienced barbers cut my hair for a whole year. My confidence is back at 10, he got your boy looking like a whole SNACK, LOL! Y'all need to come check Mr. Anthony and Mr. Hosea out!! Every visit has been nothing short of amazing. Also, the venue is recently being remodeled and each room is sectioned off so it's not in the typical layout like most shops where you are in a open bay. I think all of that makes a difference and considering what climate we are in today.

My appointment was at 10:00 AM, but due to traffic I didn't arrive until 10:25. I felt awful, but Jaime was incredibly kind and understanding, and still took me in right away without any frustration. Once in the chair, everything went smoothly. She gave me a relaxing wash and a quick but thorough cut that turned out just how I wanted. She even shared helpful tips on how to maintain the style at home. Despite my late arrival, I was out by 11:18. The whole experience was efficient, pleasant, and professional. I tipped her well and will definitely be coming back, next time on time!

I booked Alex for a cut and perm. The cut was great. Alex listened to my needs and he was open to…read morecommunicate in turns of aesthetics and stuff. I was surprised that my hair weren't shampooed at all during my service. I did a perm so he rinsed my hair a couple times.. but no shampoo before or after. The worst thing is their towel on the washing bed (the one that would contact with your neck). It smells (like dirty towels) and the location got contact with it felt itchy afterwards the smell from the dirty towel remains on my neck as well until I shower at home this should never happen at a four dollar sign salon. Besides that, the store was clean and quiet. My appointment was 1PM - 4 PM. Only two people were working at that time--the two owners. Tbh it was the first time I saw a hairdresser do everything himself--all the preparation, cut, perming, washing, etc. The limitation of staff resulted in lack of attentiveness. During the perm, the medicine touched my face, and overall the experience was not up to the standard. I really hope that they can improve because hair coco has lots of potentials.

Very courteous, professional and skilled. I arranged for a manicure for my mom and pedicure for my dad, both done by Jacqueline. She was very warm, polite and professional from start to finish.

I treated myself to the Premium Haircut with Lawrence and the Premium Pedicure with a talented young lady whose name I, unfortunately, forgot--but her skill and care were unforgettable. Lawrence delivered a top-tier grooming experience with the Premium Cut. Every detail was handled with precision--from the razor outline and warm foam to the aftershave massage and relaxing lavender-infused hot towel. I walked out looking and feeling my absolute best. The Premium Pedicure was equally indulgent. From the warm soak and peppermint sugar scrub to the massage and paraffin wrap, every step was designed for total relaxation and care. My feet have never felt better. I also enjoyed the Premium Manicure, which was the perfect finishing touch. The exfoliation, hydration, and attention to detail were exceptional. To top it all off, I was offered complimentary beers, which added to the upscale, laid-back vibe. Hammer & Nails isn't just a grooming spot--it's an experience. I left feeling refreshed, pampered, and appreciated. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their self-care routine. I even purchased my membership. On a side note: I would like to have one closer to me in Gaithersburg.
