My aunt moved from NY to MD and she had me searching for a Dominican Hair Salon and we didn't have to look too far, 8mins away from our home. Angelica was very nice and helpful and my aunt loved her hair. I highly recommend this hair salon. read more

Es una experiencia tan humillante cuando sabes que tienes (pelo malo) un cabello corto y entras a un salón y el dueño y el personal hablan de ti porque piensan que eres estadounidense y no entienden, esto no hace que esté bien que hablen de tu cabello frente a ti todo el tiempo mientras te sonríen mientras te peinan. Este salón hace un gran trabajo en mi cabello, pero no regresaré debido a lo humillante que es que hablen de mí y que el dueño me tome una foto de mi cabello cuando pensó que no lo vi. It's such a humiliating experience when you know you have short course hair and you walk into a salon and the owner and staff talk over you because they think you're American and don't understand. This doesn't make it okay for them to talk about your hair in front of you all the time while smiling at you while they style your hair. This salon does a great job on my hair, but I won't be going back because of how humiliating it is to be talked over and for the owner to take a picture of my hair when she thought I didn't see it. read more

Visite ese salón en Diciembre y mi hija tenía el pelo natural y rizo muy bonito y le aplicaron algo que se lo dejó lacio y se le ha salido todo, también la señora Maite no para de hablar en el celular yo no he vuelto y jamás voy a volver gracias a Dios a mi niña le está creciendo el pelo otra vez, pero son muy poco profesionales. read more

I was recommended Luisa by my sister and absolutely love how she treated, cut, and styled my hair. Coming in, my hair was very long (down my butt) but also very heat damaged so when I asked for dynamic layers I was fully prepared to lose a lot of length but Luisa was able to deliver the perfect layers and treat the damage instead of cutting it which let me keep a lot of length too. Idk what these other reviews are talking about tbh, I had a great experience and I'm not usually easy to please. Everything was very clear - she went above and beyond explaining the treatments and why she recommended PlexForte for me over a hydrating treatment. I felt listened to when I explained what I wanted and the end result exceeded my expectations. I even had a hot cup of coffee at some point. Thank you Luisa!! See you in three months. read more

Real Dominican Salon - Bald spot due to blowout. - Hair Salons Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

DO NOT GO HERE! JUST LET THEM GO OUT OF BUSINESS. My hair is badly damaged. So badly damaged. Scared I may have to cut off all my hair. They RACKED at my hair under the washer and used damaging products that smelled nice. Didn't even give me what I wanted and tried to UPCHARGE ME until I said something. read more

I've been living in Maryland For about a year , and I've been scared to go to a salon after 16 years of going to the same Person/Salon in Brooklyn. I started searching for a Dominican hair Salon (because in my experience carribeans do hair best) , and I found this one. Their customer service is excellent. The owner colored and washed my hair. And two other very nice ladies did my rollers and blowout. My hair Looked silky Beautiful when they were done ; so I didn't mind Paying the $110 I was charged (I regularly pay $60, or $35 without The coloríng) .... now I rated 3 stars because although I loved my hair when I left the salon ; it literally only lasted a day. About a week after my visit ; when I washed my hair ALL THE DYE CAME OUT. My hair was brown again. This has never happened to me. Not even with beauty supply box hair dye. I'd never ever go to this salon again ,not worth the expensive prices at all. read more

I called this morning for an appointment. I was able to walk in the same day. The service was impeccable. The hair stylist was friendly and flexible. She was almost done with my hair when I requested a trim. She amicable to my request. I was so pleased with the service and the atmosphere was clean and neat. I highly recommend this salon. read more

Real Dominican Salon - Great trim - Hair Salons Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Went for the first time today and am very happy with the results. I called first and they were super nice. When I came in it was big, quiet and clean. No kids running around or food smells, which gets on my nerves when I'm coming to be pampered. Celeste took me right away and gave a really good wash and deep condition. She even massaged my scalp which I really appreciated. One of my fears about going to Dominican salon's is that the blow dryer is always super hot and they never usually listen when I tell them don't make it too hot. Well, Celeste actually listened and styled my hair exactly how I wanted it. This will be my new salon going forward. read more

I just left and my hair looks great! Mari belle was my stylist and she was quick and skilled. The shop is nice, the staff is very pleasant. I appreciated the fact that I was taken care of by one person the whole time, unlike many Dominican salons where 3 -4 people work on your head. I HIGHLY recommend this salon and I will be returning! read more

I moved to MD from NJ where I used to go get a "dooby" at the Dominican salon on the regular. I have had the hardest time finding a good Dominican salon down this way until I came here. The stylists here are so kind and professional. They do great work, just like back home. I definitely recommend this spot to anyone! read more

Went to dye my hair and have a blow out i have natural hair the only thing i put on my hair is color to cover my grays but this place gave me a trashy blow out that when i went outside my hair was puffy the stylist dry my hair with the blower and use a comb brush no blow dryer brush didnt work on my hair with the blower to manage my curls and my edges after an hour my hair was puffy and up the stylist told me that my hair was going to last 15 days when realy last for an hour read more

We walked in on a Monday with no appointment at 2pm and my daughter was out by 4:30pm with a fresh perm on her previously very short (natural) hair. My daughter is in the United States Marine Corps and must have a neat and clean look - they gave her that (and her smile back). She had to be somewhere at 5pm and they got her in and out quickly with smiles and good attitudes. I can't say enough about customer service - it can make or break where I go or where I will take family and friends. They were efficient and just nice folks PLUS they did a great job on my daughter's hair right before she heads back to NC. thx Real Dominican Salon - she will be back when in town and I will be back in 2 weeks. read more

I absolutely love this salon! I recently moved to Maryland from New York and thought I could dye my own hair from a box. Well that was a big mistake on my end. So I googled Dominican Salon and this salon popped up. I went there and I met Mari and she has been amazing!! She took me right away and fixed my hair beautifully!! I can't thank her enough! The salon is so nice in there and so clean! They make you feel so welcomed! I highly recommend this salon!! read more

my hair is completely destroyed. it looked good after the blowout, but 4 years of natural hair is now utterly fried. no deep conditioner or protein treatment can stop the hair fall. I will have to start over...again. read more

I absolutely love this salon! I've been coming to this salon for about a year. I'm always satisfied with the results. I recently put permanent color in my hair (for the first time) and I've gotten so many compliments! I recommended this salon to a few friends and coworkers and they were just as pleased with their new do's. The stylists are always professional and polite. They take their time when styling and always make sure the customer is happy. They also give incentives to loyal customers. I would recommend this salon to anyone! read more

Every time I visit the salon I am very pleased. I feel very fresh and energized as opposed to clean hair and tired because I've been in the salon for 3 1/2 hours never is that the case at the Real Dominican salon. I really hope more people begin to patronize this business. Mary and the other lady thank you very much for the expert cut read more

Maria did an amazing job with my thick, curly, natural hair. Took her time detangling before my blow out!

I went in literally at the last minute to get my hair done for a huge fundraiser that evening. I required the works. Instead of them saying that they could not accommodate me, they took care of. My hair looked better than it has ever looked and most of all it looked heathy. Thank you for making me feel beautiful. O read more

This is the best Dominican salon in the DMV - hands down!! I actually stumbled upon this place by accident on my way to another salon in Silver Spring and I'm so glad I saw this instead!! Now I'm a regular. As someone who stills gets relaxers (and is unashamed) I'm very picky about who I let put chemicals in my hair. But I assure you, this is the ONLY place to get anything serious done. Mari is the best and she is very meticulous with her work. I had my hair cut a few weeks ago and I'm still impressed with my hair. It falls so perfectly, and it was layered better than I've ever had it done before. I have been going for almost a year and I've never been disappointed by this salon. No one compares to Real Dominican Salon! read more

They are so friendly and the prices are very reasonable. This salon offers a variety of hair treatment for natural hair. I was very impressed with how my hair turned out, and i will be going back. read more

They did a great job in my natural hair. They didn't fry it. They have specials every week. Staff and owner are really nice.

I've been to this salon once before and had decent service and so I decided to try them again. I called to schedule an appointment a week in advance for 4pm August 22. I arrived and they had no record of me scheduling although they had taken all of my information when I had called to schedule. They sent me away and I was not able to get my hair done. Unprofessional. read more

Warning....they have baby roaches crawling around the floor. Don't take any extra items inside and shake yourself off when you leave. Also the barbers do not sweep between customers which I thought was gross. I'm giving 2 stars because they are nice people and I like my hair. read more

They charged me $50 for something my fiancé with his hands tied to his back and no hair experience could do. Very disappointed.

A little too overpriced and the blow dry is pretty weak. I have natural hair (don't know what hair type because I don't bother to look and I'm still transitioning) and they charged almost $50 for a wash and set. I like a hard blow dry and this was pretty weak. Needless to say I haven't been back since. read more

WARNING: This place is just waiting for a law suit to happen. Ashley their "lash extension specialist" is NOT even one bit qualified. My aunt had her lashed done by Ashley and her eyes were on FIRE during the process and after. She would send me pictures and video. THEY LOOKED hideous. The quality is not even good!! All Ashley would say was that it was normal (my aunt never had them done before so she didnt really know). She called her back and told her she needed them off bc her eyes were burning and she told her if she could go in at X time and my aunt replied that she wouldn't make it. What was Ashleys response ? "well since you can come in at the time im going to charge you extra for another day". Like YOU ARE NOT EVEN QUALIFIED. This salon however does do hair very nice. HOWEVER, they need to get rid of their "lash extension specialist" unless they want a law suit. Shes cheap bc shes HORRIBLE. Your eyes will burnnnnn, just check out her Instagram page : @BCGLASH and YOU WILL SEE! She tells you that they "last a good 2 months" YES BC YOU GLUE THEM WITH WHAT IS EQUIVALENT TO SUPER GLUE (thats what the person told my aunt that Ashley used to glue them) Which is horrible, i rather pay $160+ for quality extension at a place a friend of mine gets it done which look amazing. NEVER AGAIIINNNNNNN. Just remember, whats cheap always ends up more expensive. read more

I read prior reviews on Yelp and decided to try this place to get my daughter's hair done. Everything positive that I read was true! They were super nice and very accommodating. My daughter loved her hair! She was given a free trim and the stylist did a good job making sure to only cut the hair that was damaged and did not go crazy chopping her hair. They pin curled her hair before she left to ensure her curls lasted the next day for her pictures at school. We will be back! read more

Came in with my hair dry and brittle. Got the deep condition with a blowout and my hair has been brought back to life! Thank you Mari! Would highly recommend. read more

I am so late to write a review but I need to let everyone know how awesome this salon is and the customer service was so genuine. I needed to get my hair done so I checked out yelp to find some salons. So I came across this salon and I Iwas like let me check it out. I went in and the owner was so kind and she definitely informed me of my hair care and what I needed. This is my go to shop in MD now. I will travel from DC to get my hair done here. Thank you Real Dominican Salon for making me feel beautiful with exceptional customer service. read more

After around 3 weeks of wearing my hair straight, I washed my hair. My natural curls were gone. It took me 2 years to get my natural hair to grow. I didn't know that a blow-out would mean my hair would not return to the natural state again. I'm starting over and would not recommend getting a blow out if you love your natural hair. read more

I'll start by saying the ambience of the place is nice. It's very welcoming. The staff is quite courteous and they ensure are comfortable. However i feel like if you have 4c hair type, then this might not be the place for you. The amount of heat used is excessive. I understand because of the summer humidity they have to blow dry each section repeatedly, but the time used to blow dry my hair (above shoulder length) was just too much. It could've been reduced in my opinion. I also asked for Mari, but I wasn't able to get her.. but she was there when the excessive blow drying was done and didn't say a word. Also for naturals, flat iron had more than 3 passes on each section. It's a comfortable place to do your hair though! read more

I love this place! The customer service is always amazing! Norelys and Mari always make me feel right at home! My hair wasn't growing and it was just dry! In less than 3-4 months Norelys had my hair growing so much and shining! I recommend you check them out! Love you girls read more

I have been coming to this salon for over 2 years and I have not been disappointed with my results. Although I haven't been going on the regular every time I return there is always a new and updated look which gives the salon a more pampered look. They have outstanding customer service unlike any other salon I been too. The stylist are very knowledgeable about your hair and how to keep it healthy. I asked for a trim and got exactly what I was looking for and my hair looked amazing. I'll take a picture next time I go. :) This is a good quality salon that any women should have the pleasure of visiting. Thank you and I appreciate your service. read more

Every time I visit this hair salon, I get attention, I am greeted. And I always feel like coming back. Thanks

I just got an amazing Dominican blowout done here. This is my first time in Maryland. The cost was inexpensive. The stylist and the lady who washed my head allowed me to have a pleasant experience. The most pleasant was that they blow dryer heat and the dryer heat was low and tolerable. The shampoo left my hair feeling great. I just loved it. Words alone could not express the quality in which I experienced. I will definitely be coming back. read more
