Everything is beautiful and they often have a little section of sale items. Keep in mind that Monsoon is a UK-based store so all the sizes are British sizes. Definitely visit this store if you are going to be at Union Station.

Absolutely love this place! Couldn't believe my eyes when I walked in...it was heaven. Everything…read morewas so cute and adorable, but most importantly, it was all very ME. 100 times better than Claire's. Very helpful, friendly employees. My only complaint is the prices. They are a bit high. But I suppose not everywhere can be as cheap as Forever 21, and perhaps I'll be getting more for my money. I waited until the after-Christmas sale when everything was 50% off. Needless to say, I went crazy.

If only this place wasn't located in the Dulles Town Center Mall. UGH!…read more While I have only been in this store once, I have sent multiple people in here for the purchase of body oils, incense, sage, shea butter, and other imported items from Africa. They have this one brand of Shea butter that is infused with coconut and mango. It smells so lovely, I sometimes find myself about to lick my skin. The prices are reasonable as compared to other stores that sell it but since I lived in Africa for a stint, I realize how much they are really getting over on us. But I understand the hustle. The male that works there was very helpful and let me sample various oils and educated on the many uses of the products I was eyeing. According to him, there are multiple uses for each item. And even though he could have been selling me a dream, that is music to my ears. If you are in the area, please support them. I would hate for this store to go under as most people aren't even aware they are located in the mall.

I found my new go-to hair salon!…read more Cherrell did thorough work coloring my hair exactly as I wanted it to look. I asked for a new style that was rather adventurous for me, but she did such a nice job that I felt comfortable with my decision walking out the door. The style is very posh, and I am enjoying lots of compliments on it! This was my first dry haircut, and I am very satisfied with the results. My ends definitely look healthier and more even. The salon environment is cute and comfortable. The salon is well-decorated, the staff provide drinks such as coffee with yummy creamer, and there is a private parking lot where you don't have to worry about getting ticketed in DC.

On August 24, I received a "nift" gift card valued at $30 for salon services here. I have never…read morebeen here before but was very excited to try a new salon, and hopeful that this may even become my home base salon - as I super need one in the DC area. That day, I called Salon Le Fini, and spoke with the front desk manager who told me that Victoria would be seeing me on Saturday Sept 1st at 10 am. I confirmed the date, location, time, etc and put the information in my phone. This past Saturday, I arrived at the salon, and was greeted warmly by the front desk manager - however, found it QUITE odd that the salon was open by no stylists were there yet (with multiple people already waiting). After 10:15ish, the front desk manager, sat down next to me and apologized. Stating that Victoria was on her way, that I would be seen as soon as she arrived, and that "it was her mistake as she only wrote down my appointment, but forget to put it in the actual calendar." Feeling a little dismayed, but knowing that we are all human and mistakes happen, I stated I understood and continued waiting. 10:30 rolled around, and I got another apology. 10:45, and yet another apology. 11 am rolled around, and i was feeling my patience wear thin. About 11:15, I had a stylist named Victoria come up to me and introduce herself. (She had already arrived and started on TWO other people, even though I was assured I would be seen first!!!!) Victoria's behavior was so rude and abrasive it is almost appalling. Victoria approached me, *told* me my appointment wasn't until 2 pm, that I was inconviencing her by arriving so early. (Mind you at this point I had already waited almost an hour and a half!) I politely stated, excuse me but my appointment was for 10 am. Victoria then brought me up to the computer system and processed to confirm my contact information - i verified that all of that contact information was correct. To which she stated, I should have received confirmation texts and emails. Note: Those were NEVER received (even in junk inboxes). I informed Victoria of that and she said that isn't her fault and I should know my appointment time. Trying to stay polite, I said, "ma'am, I do know my appointment time, I made it for 10 am, then wrote it down, and put it in my calendar on my phone; I wouldn't have made an appointment for 2 pm because I am NOT free at that time." Victoria proceeded to argue with me and tell me that it is not her fault if I got the time wrong or didn't get the reminders. I informed her that not receiving the reminders is not my fault either, and means they should probably verify their system is working, that i have now been told multiple stories by multiple people, so it appears they are LYING to cover their behinds about forgetting to put me into the system, and that it has now been almost two hours of my time completely wasted. I would NEVER recommend anyone to book services through this salon - unless you want to waste multiple hours of your day and not receive anything but lies, argument, rude/abrasive customer service, and no services.

If you're seeing this RUNNNN! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!…read more I had a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! I set up an appointment for this past Wednesday for her $200 ANY SIZE ANY LENGTH special. I asked if I needed to provide hair she told me no. So the day of my appointment she sees my hair and goes "oh no there's no way that's all your hair" I said "it is haha" then we go to her tiny 4x4 suite with her 2 children & husband (overly crowded). I sit down and she only has TWO packs of hair??? And not even the color I requested... so I told her that's not what I wanted & she said "oh you have to go get it yourself then" so I go to the hair store and I texted her to see what brand to get & she told me then proceeded to say "and since you have a lot of hair you need to get a big container of this gel too" ??? Excuse me??! Just because I have a lot of hair doesn't mean I am going to do your job and buy the products that YOU should have already purchased. She was also VERY ROUGH RIPPING through my hair! No care in the world for anyone's hair & very unprofessional! Also I requested SMALL KNOTLESS (Any size any length!???) even sent her a picture of the style and she said she can do it. But guess what she put in my head MEDIUM BRAIDS????? DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!! GO TO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE HEALTH OF YOUR HAIR!
