Gywana knows exactly how to cut my hair and I now have an attractive, manageable style. I literally am stopped on the street at least once a month for a compliment on my hair. Besides her amazing hair cutting expertise, G has a great eye for color and I love the highlights she gives me. She is an organized, polite professional who is also tons of fun to talk to. I highly recommend her.

As a guy looking for a good haircut, I have found my go-to place. I've been coming here for…read morehaircuts for over a year now, and have always received great service. I've only had hair cuts with Michelle, who is also the owner. She's fast, friendly and professional. The only other service I've had is a shave with a straight razor. Ruby does an excellent job. Afterward, she says I have a smooth face "like a baby". Walk-ins are accepted, and I've seen the waiting area lined up with guys on Friday and Saturday afternoons. There's a large waiting area and flat screen TVs. The prices are listed clearly on the wall out front. Most of the staff are fluent in both Spanish and English. To beat the crowds, I come early in the morning and call for an appointment. Guys come here for the reasonable prices, quick turnaround and the bevy of attractive women working at the shop.

So I guess she assumed because I was black that I just wanted it straight. No I like body! I mean I got what I paid for. Hair is bone straight. So she did a good job with that I guess if that is what you like. Then she said, you should get Keratin. Umm negative...I have pretty good hair I must say so. This pic shows for itself how it normally looks.

The owner's name is Nanah and when I tell you my experience was the greatest, it truly was everything in more. This was my first time at the salon so to say I was a little nervous is an understatement. I braid hair myself and normally I would just do my hair but because it is my birthday my husband decided to pay for me to have it done. I arrived at the Salon at 10:15 am my appointment wasn't until 10:30 am and at 10:30 am we got started. I had washed my hair but if you choose not to they have a department available to take care of that first. What also got my attention was that if you have a certain type of shampoo you would prefer just bring it with you they don't mind. The salon was clean and very inviting. The young lady who did my hair asked all the right questions before she got started, evening asking if I had a photo which I did. My style was medium box braids. I did supply my hair but you can also purchase hair from the salon. I had three people working on my hair and I surely didn't mind given the time in which they finished. These ladies never stopped and nor did I ask for a break. I'm so happy with the outcome. I'm beyond satisfied. The price was incredible considering I got 32 inches of hair in my head. I did tip each person I only wish I could have given them more but a girl is on a budget. My husband loved my hair. My daughters were happy for me knowing that I usually don't do things like this anymore. I'm just so happy with the way it feels, look and length. I truly will return and recommend that you give them the same opportunity I did. My only negative take-a-way was that I didn't remember the young ladies name that braided my hair but blame it on my nerves. So I had to text the owner for her name because she deserves to be acknowledged for an awesome job done. Her name is Khadija you can call her at 703-370-2550 So indulge ladies you will be completely satisfied.

I want to update my original review because Anna and Leo have been amazing over these past few…read moremonths! After I got my vaccine and was past the mandatory waiting time, I made an appointment with Anna for a haircut. From the beginning, they've been wearing masks and face shields, checking temperatures, and ensuring they can engage in contact tracing if necessary. They also require appointments and keep the door locked between customers to cut down on the number of people in the shop at any given time. I felt very safe coming back. Because it had been over a year since my last cut, my hair was kind of a mess. Anna did an amazing job, getting rid of all my split ends and uneven layers. It felt amazing to finally get a haircut again and have my hair in a manageable state. In April, I broke my leg and it soon became clear that there wouldn't be a way for me to wash my hair at home with our shower setup. I made several appointments to get my hair washed here instead. The prices for a wash were very reasonable so I could get one every few days while my leg was healing. Vicky did an awesome job and Leo was available on the days Vicky was out. It made such a difference for my mental health on the days when I had a fresh wash! Finally, I made an appointment with Leo to fix my color after months of quarantine box dye experiments. My hair was about four different colors and it simply wasn't looking good. Leo did an amazing job of lifting some of the darker color with foils and fixing the top part so everything blended together perfectly. There's no way I could have fixed the color myself and it looks great now. Leo even kept a card with my color blend so we can remember what he did last time. Everyone is always so friendly and professional here. No matter what services I've needed, they've done an excellent job each time. The prices are quite reasonable, especially for the quality outcomes. I highly recommend Anna and Leo!

I write this after a gentle washing and combing, whereupon I am still losing copious hair…read more It's been three weeks since Leo destroyed it. It was meant to be a routine highlight foil touchup of my roots. I don't know what went wrong. What he did differently. Why he was so negligent. But I left, running my fingers through my hair to find that it was coming out in fistfuls. Also, my scalp was burning. Was it the toner? Was the bleach too close to the scalp? On for too long? My guess is that he left the bleach on for too long because he overbooked clients after having to close the shop for so long at the beginning of the pandemic. Maybe they were trying to make up for lost time and money. I don't know. It's not my job to know. It's the job of someone I paid who is supposed to be a professional to know - and to avoid. I was horrified. And that horror has only amplified each time I wash or try to gently brush my hair and more falls out. My already fine and thin hair which was finally growing out and getting thicker is now reduced to a rat tail. And now, I can see bald spots. That day, I left with half the hair I walked in with. Now, I have about a quarter. Maybe less. I try not to make a big deal of it. It seems so vain. But, for women, our hair is a very big deal. Otherwise we wouldn't be bothering to visit the salon at all, pay money to treat it, or read these reviews. I've become extremely depressed over the past few weeks. I don't want to go out with my friends or see anyone. I try to hide how little hair I have with long ribbons which look ridiculous and unflattering. This has destroyed my self-esteem and ruined my confidence. I deliberated for a while about whether to leave a review, knowing that it might have a negative affect on a business for a family who seems otherwise nice and is probably financially hurting after having to close for Covid. However, I also work at a business that is family owned. We too have been left bad reviews many times. And, while we don't like them, it has forced us to change our professional practice so that we don't make the same mistakes again. It has made us better. My hope is that the owners of La Lana salon will do the same and reflect deeply on what it is they did to destroy my hair so that nobody else has to ever go through what I am right now. I decided to leave a review here on yelp because they managed to get my google review taken down I guess to save face and business. Not exactly ethical...
