    My first haircut a few months postpartum -- she layered it to hide the thin patches and regrowth situation and it made a huge difference
    Maya W.

    Ruby is absolutely incredible! She's been cutting my husband's (unruly, difficult, wavy/curly with several cowlicks!) and my (very straight and slippery) hair since we moved here almost 5 years ago, and I've recommended her to every friend who's moved to the area. (My friends' younger sister, who lives over an hour away, scheduled a haircut with Ruby to coincide with a visit to see us because she trusted Ruby to give her a good pixie cut since she's seen the results on her sisters' hair.) She could honestly be charging way more for her services and doing the Washington bigwigs' hair, but her prices are very affordable and she's incredibly talented. Ruby has been very supportive of my family's COVID precautions too; she always masks during our appointments, and when we told her we want to have her give our baby his first haircut, she suggested we can come in for an appointment first thing in the morning to make sure he's breathing the cleanest air possible since he's not old enough yet to wear his own mask. She's basically part of our family now, and I would recommend Ruby's Hair Design to literally anyone (just make sure to treat her extra well please!) Also: she worked absolute wonders on my postpartum hair (iykyk)

    Five stars!!!!!! Okay so I'm home but my old hair dresser has moved to Ocean City so I had to search for a new hair healer. Yes, my term for hair dressers, weave healers, hair healers, hair magicians. All the above! So I'm looking and looking and for the life of me could not find any consistent reviews. Then I happen to find this one.... Everyone rated Ruby 5 stars! Say it ain't so! No way! Wow! Okay so I decide that I am going to try her out. I book my appointment and come in. She was attentive and also made it a point to text me to confirm my visit. I came in and she sees my madness. She says she can't do it. I'm devastated! I'm almost in tears. I was doing highlights and a touch up. She says she needs more time and I was a little late. Ugh! She also says that the color I told her was not correct! Ahhhhhhhhhh! So I asked her just to straighten it. She did an amazing job! After talking to her and learning how intelligent she was about hair I rebooked my appointment. Boy am I glad I did! She is the real deal! No seriously! She knows her stuff! My hair was perfect without a toner! That has never never ever happened to me! Had the bleach on to perfection! Impressive! I'm in love! I already told her she can never leave me! You want a true professional, you got it in her! Way to go!!!!!!

    I had my hair colored by Ruby last week and LOVE it! She took the time to listen to my questions and helped me make a good decision based on what she recommended. I am very pleased with the end result. I will come back again!

    Ruby is an AMAZING hair stylist!! I happened upon her salon because of previous yelp reviews and was skeptical to try something new, but she did not disappoint! She truly listens to your desires and also offers a great professional opinion on what she believes will look best for your hair! I got a shampoo, cut, color, and blow dry and my hair looked fantastic! She is such a kind, honest, and sweet lady and my salon experience with her was one of the best I had! Honestly, I believe the prices of her salon offerings do not match the quality she provides! Her prices are SO reasonable and the quality of her work cannot be beat! I HIGHLY recommend going to Ruby, whether it's for a cut, color, etc. She's going to be my go-to hair dresser from now on!

    I have had the worst experience with hair dressers until today. Scrambling to find a short hair stylist I visited two different salons before I found the amazing, Ruby. I texted her in advance and to my surprise we she had availability. Her directions were easy to follow and the salon is conveniently located at Wheaton mall. She was extremely patient and made sure I explained thoroughly what I wanted before we started anything. Informed me of what best suits my hair, helped educate me with styling. Our conversation wasn't forced our awkward. I'm so in love with the shape and texture. I no longer have a mushroom head. She was gentle throughout the process and never once rushed. I have nothing but positive feedback and would highly recommend her as a stylist for short and long hair alike.

    Inexpensive and wonderful. I have thick, wavy hair with weak individual strands and she gave me a great cut.

    I love Iye!!! My blowout was STUNNING and lasted through the blood, sweat, and tears of a wedding…read moredance floor. I also just had a blast hanging and chatting with Iye while she worked. Her prices are affordable, the quality is REMARKABLE, and she offers so many different services. Iye also kept her mask on the whole time which was a nice bonus for me. I might just have to get myself invited to a black tie event just so I can get another blowout! The online scheduling system is another added bonus to make your appointment with ease.

    I went in for a tape in extensions and asked for a long style and a middle part. This is the final…read morecut.....I did not see how bad the cut was before leaving because of the loose curls/bump at the end, but it was very evident once I start to comb through the hair once I got home. My head start pounding, so I take a look....Once parting through the hair we noticed that tape ins were improperly placed directly on the skin of the scalp, in no organized method, which resulted in major hair damage and bleeding patches throughout my scalp. The tape ins started to come out with my skin and hair follicles attached. Despite the horrible cut and hair damage, I experienced the worse shampoo I've ever had. I actually had to stop her in the middle of the shampoo and ask her to stop rubbing and scrubbing so hard because it really felt as if she was scrubbing every follicle out of my head. It's gets worse.....I won't get into all the details but please be sure to ask this woman about the fees associated with purchasing hair from her "vendor." I was told the hair cost one price but when the receipt was sent to me, it showed that the hair was in fact half the price she actually took from me. When confronted she basically told me that I should be okay with a 50% mark up because she needed to make a profit and most salons do the same things. Oh and I did my research on this woman....I normally don't like to leave negative reviews but I have tried speaking to this woman amicably for weeks, and I still have no resolve. Now she's decided to "not engage with me" because she owes me "no clarification." I wouldn't want any one to experience this so I thought I'd share.
