There's nothing like the confidence boost you get after a fresh fade, dapper haircut, or…read moreprofessional beard grooming. An excellent barber can boost a person's confidence by 72%**! The problem is: you don't know when you are missing out. There's an unspoken loyalty code when it comes to men... you don't stray from your Barber. But plot twist: Diego is actually your Barber! It has something to do with quantum mechanics, time and space, blah, blah, blah, fourth dimension... I don't have time to explain. While Diego's a new addition to MK Salon, he has been my barber for several years now. Diego is first-rate in his craft and his passion is evident. (I'm not giving him much to work with, but somehow, I get compliments after my appointments with him.) His talent is clearly recognized by other professionals, so you don't have to take my word. Diego was originally recommended by another barber. Whether I'm going for my "everyday" haircut or want to try something different, Diego always delivers! It's obvious he stays up-to-date and adapts his techniques, too. I've seen the quality of his work in his other customers as well. MK Salon is an excellent location. It's directly across the street from the Hard Times Cafe (with the iconic horse-in-truck) so you can't miss it. It's convenient whether you are wandering from King Street Metro to the waterfront, headed to one of the many restaurants in the area, or window shopping. I've only had positive interactions with other employees there. MK is cozy, but clean. Somehow, I missed MK prior to Diego working at MK. While walk-ins are welcome during his hours, but I recommend making an appointment. The MK website may be a bit confusing though. For scheduling appointments with Diego, use the website: https://MK-Salon-and-Spa.Square.Site or https://dot.cards/Diego_Perez **Okay, okay. I made-up the statistics. But common... you know it *feels* that way.

I've been coming to Shawn for YEARS! I was introduced to her services through a friend and I've…read morenever looked back. I mainly use Shawn for bikini waxes but I've also used her lash services. Shawn is friendly, professional, and down to earth. If you're looking for a new wax spot definitely book with her.

https://www.yelp.com/biz/shawn-marie-beauty-arlington?hrid=_x9hj79TEKwTKU9JbiYe6w&utm_source=ishare&…read moretm_content=review It's been 2 years since my initial review and I apologize for the delay! I have been seeing Shawn for 5 years now and I honestly couldn't think of going anyplace else to get a vag shape-up. I provided screenshots of my initial review of Shawn from the first year I started going to her. After a 2yr long wait, I can confidently say that NOTHING in that review has changed except for her using a hard wax (it's my fav now), the place she waxes, and her being her own boss. Outside of those things, my girl has still be on her game and I braved through the quarantine lockdown just to see my favorite "Barber of Vag" again (that's real love if you didn't know). Now while I want all women who are on the lookout for a bomb esthetician to find comfort in knowing that Shawn is definitely the right esthy for you... I specifically like to give info for my fellow black women/people, WOC/POC. LOOK NO FURTHER LADIES!! I know how daunting it is to seek out services that have people like us in mind as well. I hear you, I see you, and I am with you. Some background about myself: I am a 25yr old light skin black woman with really course,curly, and dark body and facial hair. If you were able to check out my review in the screenshots provided, you will know that I consider myself to posses a "wolf-gene" (lol) see how much appreciation and love I have for Shawn for taking care of me and helping me to regain my confidence and get my hair under control. I have suffered from excessive and fast hair growth since 6th grade and my self confidence and skin took a hit from it. A skillful barber specializing in the mons pubis, Shawn is also a bomb a** lash tech as well. It's been a year since I started getting my lashes done by her and I'm not sure if I can go back to not having them. While everyone's experience will be different based on a variety of factors (how strong your natural lashes are, if you wear makeup consistently, how will you take care of them, etc) I personally have great retention from her lash work and nobody can really tell that they aren't mine. Shawn makes sure that her clients have at least a basic knowledge on aftercare and general health of the areas she is providing service to as well. All-in-all, if you are looking for a new esthy for your next vag shape-up, or want to try out some lashes to kick off your "Hot Girl Fall", look no further! It's important for you to feel like you can build a good working relationship with your service providers. Your esthetician is no different and you definitely won't have a problem building that with Shawn. She has such a beautiful spirit and excellent professionalism that I know you won't have any complaints. So what are you waiting for?! Book with Shawn Marie Beauty and tell her Najah sent you!
