We were referred to Shelton's Salon & Spa by angels disguised as traffic...really. While waiting for a car ahead of me to make a turn, I looked to my left and saw their sign. I was startled by the name match, but I then made a turn onto their parking lot (YES, free parking!!) and I'm so thankful that I did! The clients leaving had the best styles on the healthiest hair as evidence of their work. My teenage daughter was suffering from hair disaster; Mr. Shelton and his daughter Lisa analyzed my daughter's hair from the scalp to the ends and shared product remedies, different style options, and precision cuts which would benefit her. With 47 years of experience, Mr. Shelton gave her a precision style and cut, Lisa used the products which were most effective for her hair and scalp, and she also had a deep-steam conditioning. This entire process took less than 2 hours and my daughter went into an ULTRA, GENERATION Z EXCITEMENT with jumps, cheers, and acronym hollers when she saw her hair!! They are TRULY SKILLED and TALENTED STYLISTS! Her follow-up and my new appointments were made before we left. I can hardly wait! read more

I love the way the Shelton cuts my hair.... He is the only person that I allow to drastically cut and style my hair... He just knows hair... Always love the look. R.B. read more

When did the price of color and a roller set rocket up to $150?!!! No way.

I love this salon. Joy Lisa is my stylist! I've been here a few times. She is very professional and it is a lovely environment. I am guaranteed to get my hair done at the specific time of my appointment and in a very timely manner. I love that I do not have to wait long hours and that the staff are so friendly. My hair looks absolutely flawless when I leave and I have referred several of my friends to the shop. My hair has been so healthy and much easier to manage since I've been coming here! read more

A wonderful gem of a salon! Talented and passionate. I don't think I have ever had a haircut I liked so much and I didn't even have a clear idea of what I wanted going in. They are just great at their craft and my hair is shiny and soft, has a great new style and looks amazing. read more

I walked into Shelton's Salon and Spa to get my hair colored. I got a professional full service with an accommodating attentive attitude. Shelton was flexible and had me sit in his chair working me into his busy schedule. The staff is friendly, the space, and tools are clean and the atmosphere is relaxed. The place has a positive vibe. I referred my classy model friend (who is hard to please) to Shelton's trusting hands and she was very satisfied. I continue to tell my circle of influence about this salon to with great feedback. I'm confident Shelton's Hair Salon will meet your beauty needs. My old salon is Hair Cuttery in Bethesda and this contrast is a pleasant one. I'm kind of high maintenance when it comes to my hair, Shelton's salon feels like home. Thanks read more

They have since moved to Silver Spring 3015628311 I don't care what your hair texture or lifestyle "Olympia" will save you. It doesn't get any better than her. Originally from the Dominican Republic she knows how to look at your scalp's growth pattern, face structure and customize a cut just for you. I have never had a hair dresser that understands me like her. Everytime I send someone to her I get thanked and rethanked! She's pricy but worth every penny. AND you dont have to keep coming back every six to eight weeks for a trim. Her cuts continue to grow evenly into different styles. Even sistas say she performs miracles! I think she is the best hair dresser in DC. Make sure you ask for Olympia the dominican hair dresser ! read more

I have been curious about this neoghborhood establishment for years and finally decided to try it. I called to ask about scheduling a cut and they offered to work me in for a same-day appointment. I explained I have a frizzy mop that is overdue to be cut and asked how much they charge. They quoted me a price. I came in, still curious. A man asked me if I wanted my hair shampooed. I was in a rush and responded I wanted whatever is quickest. He said "shampoo." I got a shampoo. He cut my hair. He took out all the layering and spent a half hour blow drying it straight. It looks beautiful. I have no idea what it will look like curly. They charged me 40% more than the quoted price for the shampoo and style. Because of the tine it took to blow my hair straight, I was late for my work appointment. I also spent money I had not budgeted because of services I did not want or need. I tried to discuss this and gaslighted me and refused to adjust the price. I paid and left in tears, feeling I had been taken advantage of. Wish the pricing and service options had been more clearly explained at the outset--they could have gained a loyal customer with better communication. If you go, budget plenty of time, ask to see the price list, and know that a shampoo costs $25 and is purely optional. read more

The worst massage I have ever tried to get. Abominable. First, the massage therapist had clearly just smoked a cigarette and smelled terrible. I told her so and she disappeared for over ten minutes, leaving me alone naked under only a sheet after I had specifically asked for a blanket. When she finally returned in a bathrobe, she told me there were no blankets so she would cover me with small towels. (!!!) A few minutes in to her massage (cold hands, cold cream), I realized I was so incredibly cold that I was shaking and there was no way this was going to turn around and get any better. So, I got up and put on my clothes and walked out. I have never done that in all the massages over the years Ive gotten. As you can see this place wants to call itself a "spa" http://www.sheltonssalonandspa.com/index.htm But it seems to be just an old hair salon cheaply trying to add other services. About an hour after I left the owner called my cellphone and told me that if I had wanted a warm room for my massage I should have specified that when I called and made the appt, as "there are plenty of people who like cold rooms" and he doesn't know what the customer wants unless specified. Yeah right. I let him know my Yelp review would reflect that he called me to school me on the way I should have custom ordered my massage (instead of him calling to make amends). Worst. Massage. Ever. read more

Literally as good as it gets and then some! Every single texture. They know what they're doing. ESP Olympia. Ask for her. She doesn't just go by the book, she looks at your face and starts from there. Soft, heathy and sexy... non-sacrificial cut. One cut grows into another one... its perpetual bliss. C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Nice hair cut, not exactly what I was going for, still nice cut, and relaxer was a disappointment, hair was pretty in shop, once my hair was it had a very dry look. $$$ read more

I've known Shelton for years and FINALLY went to the salon to get my hair done along with my daughter. I must say that the attention and care that they gave us was OUTSTANDING. Geoffrey did a GREAT job with our hair. Would highly recommend this Salon. read more

Yes, this is as Good As It Gets! Shelton has been doing my hair for almost 30 years. I've tried others but always come back to him. Great cuts, superb color and the best styling around bar none. Good location near Silver Spring Metro Station. Friendly and inviting vibe to boot. read more

Shelton is the best stylist I have ever encountered (and I've worked with many). He is a true professional who knows his craft. He is progressive in his thinking and a lifelong learner. I have been a loyal customer for almost two decades.The salon has a warm, friendly, and family atmosphere. I really enjoys my visits and always have a few good laughs and leave feeling good with great looking hair! read more

Professional and considerate of your time. Shelton has been doing my hair for over 25 years!!! I recommend him to everyone.

Shelton is an expert hair stylist. I travel from Queens, New York to get one of his haircuts, and I am always very pleased with the results! read more

I Love Shelton! He is an awesome hair professional. I have been going to Shelton's Hair Salon for over 30 years back in the day when he was located in downtown Washington DC on Connecticut Avenue, NW. Shelton and his assistants, Pam and Grace, are warm, compassionate and loving individuals. Shelton has cut my hair in many styles especially now that I am wearing it naturally in which he created a color just for my hair. So when I visit Shelton's for a cut/color, I'm leaving his shop as a walking Billboard...what an honor! Keep the blessings coming!! Thank you Shelton!! Tijuania read more

Shelton is the best stylist around. Decades of experience yet stays current! He does it all great cuts, coloring and styling! I go there whenever I'm in town. read more

Check out Debbie Smith who will soon be coming to Shelton's. She has been doing my cut and color for a number of years and she is amazing! I am almost completely gray by now and no one would guess. I get lots of comments about my hair and people assume that color is natural which is just the way I want it. Debbie also cuts my son's hair. Los Angeles' loss is Silver Springs gain. I will miss you! read more

one of the finest stylists I have ever known. His enjoyment of his craft is evident from the care he takes to the big smile on his face at all times. read more

This is my first time leaving a review on Yelp and I wish it could be a better one! I had my first appointment last December with Lisa at Shelton's and she was an hour late, but I know DC traffic is rough and she did a wonderful job with my hair and I was really happy with the quality of the service. So I decided to try them again. I made an appointment last week and today when I showed up the woman at the front desk said Lisa wasn't there yet. After waiting 15min I prompted "So do you know when she might be arriving?" And the response was "No. I'm not sure if she knows she has a client today. Hopefully she looked in the book". There was no follow-up or reassurance. So another 5min pass and I ask "Do you have a way to contact her to know if she's coming?" and the answer was "No. I don't have her number." So I wait a few more minutes and ask "Well, is there a way you could get her number?". So the woman at the front makes some calls and finally reaches Lisa, who apparently doesn't pick up. So at this point I've been waiting for 30min with no reassurance or apologies. The woman at the front offered that someone "might be coming at at 3 who could do your hair". My appointment was for 12. So at 12:45 I left. I told the woman at the front desk that I couldn't wait any longer and kindly voiced my annoyance and she didn't even offer an apology, she just said "I don't run the place, so it's not my fault." It was ridiculous that they did not have a way to contact one of their stylists when she was running late and super unprofessional and frustrating that she didn't bother showing up or notifying anyone that she would be late. I'm generally an understanding person and brushed off my appointment being an hour late last time, but this was just so annoying. I've never had such poor service. I will not be returning. Again, it was nothing about the quality, she really did a wonderful job and was very warm and kind in person, which is why I was excited to return, but if she can't show up on time or show up at all, I can't be a client. read more

I don't know why Jessica M. was so disappointed, maybe it's because she has such high expectations. I read some of her other reviews before writing my own and she seems like a "crying critic" I have more things to do than say good or bad things about businesses, especially ones that have stood the test of time, like Sheton's Hair Gallery. I have been a customer of his for over 25 years and always recommend him and his staff to visiting friends and celebrities when they are in the D.C. area and want a discreet professional experience. You cannot please everyone, but you can be sure Shelton's Hair Gallery will try their best, as they have done for more than 30 years. read more
