Best Hair Salons In Bethesda

“I had a great cut with Jameise! She was very knowledgeable, helpful, and non judgmental. She listened to me and trusted that I knew my body and hair and brought my curls back to life. I will definitely be back!“

“I couldn’t be happier with my hair and makeup for my wedding! Mona did an absolutely amazing job, everything was perfect and exactly what I had envisioned. The trial beforehand was such a great way to prepare; it made the wedding day smooth and stress-free because she already knew exactly what worked best for me. Mona and her team were so kind, calm, and professional throughout the entire process, and I truly felt my best. I can’t recommend her enough!“

“Hands down one of the best haircut experiences out here. The shop is clean, professional, and the atmosphere is relaxed without feeling rushed or chaotic. Everyone there knows what they’re doing, and the attention to detail really shows.

Highly recommend going to Emma being that she’s a boss with both clippers and scissors! Been going here and to her for quite a while and I don’t expect to switch it up any time soon.“

“Sharon came highly recommended so I was exited to see her work. She listened and gave me exactly what I was looking for. It’s been a long time since I’ve found such a talented colorist. She truly understands color, how different hair types require different approaches, and how to create a truly natural look. I’m so happy I found Sharon. She truly enjoys her craft, and it shines through in the careful work that she does.“

“Amazing experience! Had the headspa treatment and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Luisa. She was above and beyond amazing!! Truly felt like such a serene experience. I’ve also had wonderful haircuts with Franz and Yoonski! Would highly recommend this salon :)“

“Johannie is brillant. She asks questions, listens well, and will find and show you pics of different haircuts to make sure you get exactly what you want. She was very considerate of my lifestyle, hair habits and routine, face shape, and hair type when cutting my hair. I couldn't be happier. This may be the best hair cut I've ever received. Even my husband noticed the quality of the cut and how well it suited me--in the 5 years I've known him, he's never made a comment like this before! Book with Johannie, you won't regret it.“

“Amazing! So perfect w attention to every detail. I know I’ll love it as much as I did the first time I came here!“

“Gal is amazing. Thanks to her, my hair is absolutely gorgeous and healthy. If you have curly hair, your hair needs her. Check out her Instagram for pics.“

“I couldn't find an email to send this information directly to the salon. First, everyone was nice, and it was a good experience. Second, my old hairstylist had moved out of the area, so I asked her what to ask her. She told me to put in writing (so there was no confusion) when I made my appointment that I've done partial highlights with hi-lift color, I have fine hair, and it lifts easily. It's between levels 8 and 9 in terms of my natural blonde. When I met the stylist, she said she had read what I wrote in my appointment request. I rarely get my hair done, so it wasn't until I thought I was getting the wash that I realized we had bleached my hair, instead of using high lift color and were then toning it. At the end, I couldn't quite express what looked wrong, but it was that the highlights were much more yellow (look like stereotypical bleaching) than I am used to, and the toner really contrasted with it, instead of the natural look of the high-lift color. It's okay, it will grow out and the toner will wash out, the stylist did offer to correct it but speaking with my old stylist she said there is not much I can do since it's now been bleached and the color striped. I do really think that if you're going to use bleach on someone's hair, you should tell them since it does cause more damage. Like "Hey I read your request and actually I don't agree with it, I'm using bleach instead." I've never used bleach on my hair the scent (of that or the toner) for the remainder of the day was kind of nauseating my scalp broke out in a rash, and my eyes are still swollen. The first picture was my hair, the ones after are with the bleach. I have naturally frizzy hair and it’s also really dried my hair out.“

“Forget just a good hair day, a visit to Hair by Moses is an experience that transcends the typical salon appointment. From the moment you step into the serene and stylish space, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of care and artistry. Moses himself possesses a rare blend of technical mastery and intuitive understanding of hair. It's not just about a cut or color; it's about Moses crafting a look that perfectly complements your individual features and lifestyle. He has the best assistants I have ever seen, very professional knowledgeable and super friendly.
I recently entrusted Moses with a complete color correction that had been botched elsewhere, and the results were nothing short of miraculous. He patiently listened to my concerns, expertly analyzed my hair's condition, and then, with the precision of a sculptor and the eye of an artist, he worked his magic. The transformation was breathtaking. My hair now boasts a rich, vibrant, and natural-looking color with incredible dimension and shine. Beyond the technical brilliance, Moses' warm and engaging personality makes the entire process a joy. He offers insightful advice, explains his techniques with clarity, and ensures you feel completely comfortable and confident throughout.
The salon itself is a haven of tranquility, using only top-of-the-line products that leave your hair feeling healthy and luxurious. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the personalized consultation to the final styling touches. Leaving Hair by Moses, I didn't just have beautiful hair; I felt like a revitalized and more confident version of myself. If you're seeking a truly exceptional hair experience with a stylist who is a true master of their craft, look no further than Hair by Moses. It's an investment in yourself that you won't regret.“

“Lay is an exceptional stylist! I discovered her through the IBE website while searching for a certified extension specialist, and her impressive credentials stood out right away. She delivered exactly the look I was hoping for while prioritizing the health of my scalp and hair, something that’s especially important to me given how fine my hair is. I’m so thankful to have found her and will absolutely remain a loyal client. Highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love Aveda Bethesda! The spa is always spotless, beautifully maintained, and has such a welcoming and relaxing ambiance. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, which makes every visit such a great experience. I usually book my waxing appointments with Sherri, and she is amazing and always makes me feel comfortable and does a flawless job every single time. I can’t recommend this spa enough if you’re looking for a clean, professional, and truly welcoming place for self-care.“

“I’ve had 3 haircuts now with Paula and her team and they do a really nice job. I always walk out looking good and feeling pampered! There are parking spots behind the building, the customer service is tip-top, and my appointments are always punctual.“

“My wife recommends Jean as she did a wonderful job coloring, cutting and waxing her eyebrows.“

“I am always happy with my visit and my results when I come to this salon. My whole family comes here. Friendly staff and great customer service keeps us coming back!!!“

“I went to the original Hannah's on Norfolk Ave when I was a single 20-something and continue to stop in when back in Bethesda. We just dragged our nephew there this morning and the boy left looking amazing like in the movies soon... The strength/speciality of Hannah's has always been the same: consistency/depth of their professionals and the care they put into the work. You could/can drop in and whoever does your hair will do a good job. It's like Hannah has done the vetting for you and you don't have to hunt around Bethesda for a barber/stylist you can trust and hope to keep in touch... an example are some of the Hannah-alumni who setup their own shops in Bethesda - they are good but usually their shops don't have the depth so it is hit/miss on appointments or being available in a pinch.“

“Plane Jane is the most comfortable salon I have been to. I have followed my stylist, Amanda, for years from her previous salons. I was so excited the first time I visited her at PJ and I did not get my hopes up for nothing! Scheduling was a breeze and I got a quick response when I booked my appointment. I’ve experimented myself with box dyes but Amanda was able to color correct my hair to be the exact shade I had in mind. It also didn’t take multiple appointments over the course of months, she’s very quick and precise. She’s also very attentive to my hair cut too. I asked for layers and a trim on my bangs and she made sure I was happy with the cut/shape before just saying she was finished. I can’t wait to go back and see what transformation the Plane Jane team has for me!“

“I am always greeted with a smile and a drink offering. I'm made to feel welcome and love my stylist Mckendree. The price is very reasonable for the quality

Hair type: Thick and wavy“

“Beautiful space. Fantastic salon. Everyone was so kind and professional. Carole did an amazing job on my hair. I look like a new person!“

“Hiwot is amazing!!!!! I’ve been coming to her for years, from one location to the current. Hiwot cares about the health of your hair. I trust her completely - even when she gets me to try new things. She is friendly and super efficient. Hiwot doesn’t double book or keep you waiting hours and hours. You get in and out and feel amazing. Give her a try, you won’t regret it.“

“I got my hair cut and for the price it made sense, overall pretty good, the quality of the session was nice. Vibe was nice, no one was mean“

“Chloe did an amazing job highlighting and blow drying my hair! I definitely recommend going to her!“

“I cannot recommend Crystal enough! From the very first appointment, I felt truly heard—which is so rare to find in a stylist. I’ve seen her twice this past year for toning, and each time she’s helped me achieve the exact color I’ve been describing to stylists for years. I have very dark brown hair, and it’s easy for it to fall flat without the right dimension—but Crystal absolutely nailed it.

She’s incredibly patient and genuinely listens to what you want without pushing unnecessary treatments or color changes. Instead, she gives honest, thoughtful advice and explains everything clearly. Thanks to her tips, my hair has never been healthier. I always leave her chair feeling confident and cared for.

If you’re looking for someone who combines skill, honesty, and a true understanding of your vision—Crystal is the one!“

“Niana was amazing! I struggle to find a good hairstylist and get the haircut I want 80% of the time. Niana took the time to listen, explain, and clarify any questions I had during the consultation. Very professional and good at her craft. Already booked my next appointment.“
