Review for Maggie Kassimis Maggie is an amazing professional stylist and colorist. She has transformed my hair color to look natural along with blending my roots. She will listen and only work with one client at a time to maximize your experience and satisfaction. I just wish I found her years ago as getting my hair done is now a pleasure rather than a task. Maggie is a perfectionist and has wonderful suggestions. All of her hair color products are natural. I no longer need to sit in a salon breathing toxic fumes and have an itching/burning scalp. She genuinely wants her clients to love their hair and over the last 6 months she has given me advice on products, a fairly inexpensive hair dryer (salon perfection), and general pointers that are invaluable. For the first time, I am wearing my hair down more than ever because her style cut makes my hair manageable. The compliments on my cut, shine and color have been countless. Being a working mom, Maggie understands my schedule and has appointments that work for me. I now look forward to getting my hair done and it no longer takes countless hours. read more

This review is for Maggie Kassimis. I found her when I moved near her shop on Fisher Lane. She is amazing - my hair has never looked better. I rarely have people comment on my hair, but now I am getting constant comments on how great it looks. Maggie has guided me through growing my hair for a longer softer look as well as trying a Brazilian Blow Out as I have frizzy natural curly hair. I love the feel and ease of caring for my hair since the Blow Out. Her rates are fair and reasonable. Did I mention she is a wonderful caring witty person. I enjoy my visits as I feel I am seeing an old friend and catching with them. I highly recommend Maggie! read more

I've seen Gladys twice now for a Keratin treatment and a cut. She is amazing! My hair is shiny and very healthy. Her salon space is very clean and organized. She is very professional and knowledgeable. Also her prices are pretty reasonable. The salon itself is very large with separate rooms stylist use so it doesn't feel like you are waiting hours to be seen or don't know who will be providing your service. read more

RJ used to be the best around the DMV but now she's trash. Don't bother making an appointment she will take walk ins first!

A friend recommended Jennifer and I saw her earlier this morning. She is so lovely and did such a phenomenal job with my hair! Highly recommend :) Side note- this salon was so unique, instead of it being an open-air space, each stylist had their own room. Really good set up for anyone wanting to minimize covid risk or who may have sensitivity to loud noises. read more

I write to recommend Maggie K, who is not only a terrific hair stylist but also a lovely person. After our initial consultation, I felt very comfortable that she understood how I wanted my short/medium length hair cut and highlighted to look natural, and I'm delighted to report that she did a great job with both. I took a chance based on her stellar reviews and am happy to add yet one more! read more

Mike Perez is a super talented hairdresser. Always recommend to my friends...known him a very long time and the talent sure runs in the family....he's not only talented but has a Heart of Gold!! Xo read more

After being referred to Maggie at Symmetry salon from a friend, I can not say enough great things! The place is convenient, welcoming, nicely decorated and sparkling clean. Parking is a breeze. Making an appointmet with Maggie was quick and efficient. Maggie is talented, warm and clearly was focused on what I wanted and with her expertise absolutley gave me great cut and color. I left the salon feeling happy and confident! read more

Mahshid has been doing my hair for about 5 years now. I've gotten haircuts, keratin treatments, highlights, balayage, and dyed my hair at her salon. She has nice clean space. She does a great job communicating with her clients and takes the time to make sure she understands the look you're going for. It's obvious she prioritizes doing quality work that last because I get compliments on my hair even long after a color or cut grows out. Mahshid is also just an incredibly sweet person to talk to and makes hair appointments very enjoyable !! read more

TL; DR - Maggie Kissimis is amazing. If you are looking for a stylist who is both a technical expert and passionate about their craft, she's your person. I needed both a cut and color so I booked an appointment with Maggie based on positive word of mouth from acquaintances. I cannot express how thrilled I am with the results! Maggie is not only a true artist but also a skilled professional who listened attentively to what I wanted. After discussing my concerns about a previous color mishap, she thoroughly explained the correction process and set realistic expectations. She gave me options for the color correction that varied based on cost and level of follow-up maintenance which gave me the information to make an informed choice. She also took the time to educate me about maintaining my color and style and provided tips for ensuring the longevity of her work once I was home. Maggie's confidence and expertise immediately put me at ease. The cut was beautiful and the color correction was fantastic. The end result exceeded my expectations. Maggie has earned my trust and loyalty. read more

When you think of somewhere to do some relaxation, decompression, and do some self-care, Symmetry Salons does not disappoint. Symmetry is made up of lots of individually-owned cosmologists-ish (most hair, but other stuff as well, like cryotherapy and waxing). I've been seeing Athanasia for over a decade and I'm so glad she moved here; I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone and you should let either. She literally touches your hair and just knows, that is Hair God status. Once in awhile, I'll get loopy and ask for something crazy (Like cutting off all my hair or an insane color that's just too time-consuming for me personally to manage and while she's always happy to oblige, she does warn me first (Like: "are you sure you want to chop it all off? I can, but you might regret it") The place is modern, spacious, and clean. They've always got coffee, water and soda in the waiting room. Def worth checking her out! read more

I've been going here for years and have always enjoyed my experiences, but my last visit stood out so much that I had to write a review. I made an appointment with Maggie and although it was my first time seeing her, it felt like I had been going to her for years. She was so patient and helpful and put a lot of thought into what she thought would be best for me and my hair. She gave me soooo many tips and suggestions that I had never thought of trying. My hair has changed a lot after having kids so I have felt overwhelmed and a little lost as to what to do with it, but Maggie managed to give me the exact look I wanted and tips on how to manage it. Now, we all know it feels great to walk out of a salon with a fresh cut that looks amazing, but I am always a little hesitant to get too excited because I find myself thinking "What is this going to look like when I do it myself?" But after seeing Maggie, for the first time in my life, I got a haircut that not only looked great on the first day, but also on the second day, and when I let it dry naturally, and also when I tried to style it myself! I am honestly soooo pleased with this haircut. It was such a great experience for so many reasons. I haven't worn my hair down for years because I just never have time to do it, or it never looks right, etc. but since I saw Maggie I have worn it down almost every day and have gotten so many compliments. Which also never happens to me after I get a haircut! If you have young kids you know it's so easy to get in a rut and just kind of give up on putting any effort into what you look like but let me tell you, it is AMAZING what a good haircut can do for you!! I feel like a new woman! Thank you Maggie!! read more

I loved visiting Symmetry Salon in Rockville. I had the best experience with Rae Baker. She's really talented and very professional hair stylist. I had such a wonderful experience for my hair. She repaired my hair with a trim and balayage, and now it looks great. read more

I had a terrible experience with a hair dresser there Jammie. She burned all my hair totally destroyed to the point that I am know bald. Even though she said she took full responsibility for it but reimbursed me only 50% back blaming me for making the choice of Chopin my hair totally ignored my feelings and distress in having hair falling through my hands , floors, pillows at night , itching scalp etc...I reached out to the management of the building and they said they are not responsible for the hairdresser and their work because they are independent workers. So if you're going to a place that you're thinking that you will have people to back you up incase of any physical or emotional disaster this is not the place for you. Be aware. read more

I just had another great appointment with Maggie Kassimis. All I can say is wow! I started working with her last summer & my hair has never been healthier or looked better! Maggie is a true professional and incredibly talented & experienced. It's wonderful to just be able to go & relax & tell her to do what she thinks - because her instincts are always on point. I'm in love with the dimension in my hair color. She's helped make me the best version of myself. I highly recommend her! If you're waiting from a sign from the universe, this is it for you to make an appointment with her. read more

Overview: if you have thick, frizzy, curly-ish hair that's unmanageable, go to Anne T. I have A LOT of hair. I'm talking normal-sized strands but a lot of them which makes my hair super thick. It's also frizzy and lands somewhere in between curly and wavy. It's chaos most of the time. I've gone to Anne twice now and she is awesome at dealing with this monstrosity called my hair. She takes her time with washing and cutting, and is super friendly, fun to talk to, and knowledgeable. She does not pressure products to buy, but gives feedback and recommendations based on the health of the hair and typical upkeep (I.e. applied heat) if you ask. Oh yeah, she also is very meticulous when it comes to shaving. I have an undercut and she takes the time to reshape and carefully trim the undercut to my liking. It turns out great and with fresh lines every time! Her prices are very fair, and you can really tell she cares for her clients and enjoys her work! I can't recommend her more highly :) P.S. she asked if I wanted to leave with my hair curly or straight. The first time I said curly so she put products in and scrunched and diffused, and the second time she blew it out and straightened (shown in pics) read more

Mahshid Hosseini has been doing my hair for a few years now and she is the best! I recently transitioned to embracing my grays and she has made it a great experience! Mahshid is a great colorist and my haircuts are always awesome! I appreciate she always hears my ideas and works towards achieving a great hairstyle. Mahshid is up to date on latest trends! If you are looking for a new hairstyle I highly recommend Mahshid. read more

Bottom line: Maggie was fantastic. I am new to the area and looking for a new stylist. Making an appointment and communicating with her was easy, and she was very responsive. At the visit she gave me a hair consultation, discussed what I was looking for in a cut, and she gave me her recommendations based on my hair type. She also told me what products would be best without giving me the hard sell. The cut was perfect, the style was beautiful, and she even showed me several ways to wear my hair. I could not be happier with my visit. I highly recommend Maggie. read more

Maggie is the best! She has given me an amazing haircut and color. She is very responsive as well as proactive. Before I went to her, I'd had trouble finding a stylist who is not afraid to be honest and give recommendations for more flattering styles; everyone always seemed to want to play it safe and make minimal or no changes. But if I don't ever try something different, I'll never know if I would look better with a different cut! So I really appreciate Maggie's honesty, confidence, and most importantly SKILLS!! And she is also great to talk to! read more

Symmetry is always an enjoyable experience from the minute I walk through the door. Maggie Kassimis is one of the most talented stylists I know! She's been cutting and coloring my hair for over 20 years. People often stop and ask me where I get my hair done. I swim in chlorine regularly but Maggie knows how to keep my hair healthy and shiny. She always has the magic touch to make me feel special when I'm sitting in her chair. Maggie has impeccable taste for hair design and her studio is so cheerful. It's tough to find a stylist who you trust let alone building such an amazing friendship as I have with Maggie. If five stars is the best rating then I give Maggie a six. read more

Maggie is such a good stylist. She got my hair color exactly right and the haircut was fabulous and easy to style. I'm so glad I found someone close to where I live that I can totally trust to make my hair beautiful !! read more

Love the threading RJ does! She's nice, professional, explains what she does, is relatively quick and painless. I'll be going back to her again. There's convenient garage parking on the side or street parking out front, and an ATM and Keurig by the receptionist. read more

Great stylist . Best cut and color ever.Linda Sweetman did a fabulous job . I highly recommend.

I saw a stylist just before the quarantine started, so it was a crazy time! Michael Perez seemed nice at first. As the appointment progressed, my comfort level made a sharp decline. I just wanted to get my hair done and bliss out and feel good about myself. My hair looked great but I couldn't leave fast enough. I thought that it was really strange that he and his assistant went to great lengths to ask me about my ethnicity and heritage. Awkward. Anyone been asked if they were Azerbaijani? Me! I guess there is a first time for any question. He repeatedly made a statement SEVERAL times, "I HOPE THERE IS NO WUHAN UP IN HERE!!!". I was handed a big stack of photos from a trip to India and was given instructions on how to look at them. I am thinking to myself when will this be over???? Really, I just wanted to relax and forget about the impending doom for just one hour...which did not happen while I was in Michael Perez's chair. I left feeling stressed out but my hair looked great. Looking back, I should have just stayed home. read more

Finally decided to get my hair done locally because I can't travel home to my usual stylist. I was hesitant to try someone new but was so impressed with Nicole's work! She was contentious and mindful of all regulations in place for COVID, and brought my hair back to life after months of neglect She transformed my grown out highlights into a natural-looking, multidimensional blonde. Not to mention a great haircut that suits both my (naturally) curly or straightened hair. I will be back to learn more about maintaining my natural texture in this humidity and to keep up this color. read more

Maggie is amazing! Like others I found her through online recommendations. She really took time to listen and give advice and she has such a caring personality. The cut and color were exactly what I wanted and I'm already looking forward to my next appointment! read more

Maggie is the best ! - I found her using Groupon, and I am so happy. Since moving back to the area I have been to 3 other salons and all were a huge disappointment. Maggie understands texture, color and hair health and will transform your look into something stylish and sexy. Above her amazing talent is her warm & personable demeanor. She truly wants you to be happy and listens ! I highly recommend "cheating" on your current hair dresser if you feel like you are in a rut! ----Girls we all know sometimes a change can bring amazing things. read more

Maggie is a dream come true! I've been going to her for years and always leave feeling incredibly cared for. I am the type of client that walks in looking for suggestions and she always takes the time to come up with fun, new looks. Her honesty, creativity, talent and professionalism will keep me coming back for years to come. read more

Maggie is amazing. She coloured my hair and it looks amazing now. She is a joy to be around and has fantastic technique! I finally have a hair stylist, I can trust with my dark Indian hair phew.... Update: Again, Maggie is awesome. But I have started using our hair sessions as therapy sessions instead. Wanna pour your heart out, feel empowered, get some great life advice and walk out with sexy hair. Come see MAGGIE!!! read more

This review is for Nazly hair stylist, who is wonderful! What keeps me coming back is that Nazly specializes in hair coloring and really cares about hair health. She takes the time to make recommendations and takes pride in her profession, whereas other salons never seemed to offer a personalized approach. I had chunky, somewhat outdated highlights when I first went to Nazly, and we've gradually updated the look. Before, my hair was not in the best condition and I just thought that not getting your comb through your hair smoothly was a by-product of highlights. Not so anymore. Now I have highlighted hair that is smooth and shiny and in amazing condition! And Nazly is so fun and nice to hang out with, just like girlfriend time. (This entire space is a really cool concept, by the way, as it's a collection of individual salons in one space that offers one stop shopping. I had a wait while my hair color set and was able to get a my nails done with another salon with Hannah Kim right there while I waited. Hannah was also amazing - a true professional, she did a great job, and you've never seen such a CLEAN salon). read more

I had my hair appointment with Maggie Kassimas today. It was the best haircut experience I've ever had! Maggie was so knowledgeable about 'hair'! She took time to listen to my needs and made great recommendations based on my hair quality and quantity. She was thorough and very patient. As she styled my hair, she explained the products she used and what it did. She showed me how to do simple styling at home since I really don't do any at home. She really helped me understand how to manage my hair. Thank you so much Maggie!! read more

Maggie, thanks so much I feel fabulous!!! Fantastic color highlights and cut!!!! Tracy read more

I wanted to give Maggie a HUGE shoutout for the best haircut of my life! I have received so many compliments and my cut is easy to style and my hair looks and feels so much healthier. She is kind, patient and a really talented stylist. Do yourself a favor and go see her. You won't regret it and your hair will look fabulous! read more

This is for Rj at perfect arch eyebrows. Ive seen the sign plenty of times I've gone to this location for other services so I decided to try a new threader. I've had my eyebrows threaded since I was 18 - im 24 now, I know the process pretty well. NEVER have I ever bled during a session until my session with Rj. She's pretty slow at it too and she uses such thick threads so it hurt so badly when pressed down so slowly. I told her specifically to keep my eyebrows thick and just clean up around them to avoid making it thin. She took off a piece in the middle of my right eyebrow. She also took away my arch on my right eyebrow. There's a small hole in the front of my left one. My eyebrows look like I did them which is not what I was looking for coming into a salon to have a professional provide the service. She was polite and nice but honestly I just wanted to get out there asap. I paid and tipped bc I know how hard it is for small business owners and I didn't want to be mean and point out what was wrong to her so I just took this loss and left. I won't be back and won't be recommending her. read more

I love this place for brows and threading! I purchased a Groupon deal for $20 for 5 session of eyebrow threading with RJ, and it was the best decision ever. She is an amazing artist, and my brows have never looked better. She is also super nice and really listens to what you want. I specifically asked for them not to be too thin. Been growing them forever trying to get a fuller brow, and now they are perfect. She also does full face, upper lip, etc. She's a master. Making Appointments: You can make appointments online, but I think it's a little buggy. I would call to make an appointment the first couple times, until you find the stylist you like. Sometimes I can't make appointments with RJ online, even though they had openings. I think it's just a glitch. You pay the stylish directly. This salon really treats its employees like independent contractors so don't book with the wrong person only to go to someone else. They end up losing the business, and it's awkward for everyone. Overall pros: I can't say enough good things about this place. Cute waiting area with free coffee and drinks. Super nice receptionists who really try to help you. Great, personable stylists. Modern facility. ATM onsite. Each stylist has their own "office," so you aren't out in the open, making it a more personal experience (also quieter). Cheap garage parking next door. Easy to find. Twinbrook Metro also right next door. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Maggie for a couple of years now, and she's really the best. She listens and gets to know both you and your hair, and I always leave with a beautiful cut and style. Highly recommend! read more

My mom and I have both been getting our hair cut by Amy M. for years. I actually wait until I come in from Nashville to get my hair cut by her. I will not let anyone else cut my hair! Our hair always looks great and she listens carefully to what we want done. Amy is a great conversationalist and we always have fun chatting with her while we get our hair done. Symmetry itself is a clean, classy salon. Each stylist has their own space in a room with a door, which allows for privacy. They offer hair styling, nail services, and waxing services, although I can only speak to the hair services. Making appointments is easy, and the front desk staff are always friendly. They have complimentary soda and coffee in the waiting area as well, which is nice. My family greatly enjoys getting our hair done at Symmetry and will continue to go here as long as Amy is here! We highly recommend her. read more

I got a Brazilian from Shayla. She was quick and thorough. She was also super sweet and made me feel comfortable. I also got my eyebrows threaded by RJ. I've been going to her for years, just realized she worked here. She is also very skilled and experienced in her craft. read more
