Best Hair Salons In Germantown

“We were looking for a place to maintain and style my wife’s locs and booked a morning consultation with Sonia at Empresstyles Beauty Salon. From the moment we met her, Sonia’s knowledge and passion for natural loc care truly stood out. We originally planned to go with interlocking, but after she educated us on the different methods, we decided to go with palm rolling and styling instead.

When I saw my wife’s hair after the appointment, I was stunned—in the best way. The transformation was beautiful, and Sonia's styling was nothing short of magical. She truly a pro in her field.

Even though we live in Urbana, where options for loc care are limited, our search brought us to Gaithersburg, MD—and we’re so glad it did. I’ll definitely be bringing our teens here as well. If you have locs, don’t waste time going anywhere else. Visit Empresstyles Beauty Salon and ask for Sonia - You will be impressed.“

“I’ve always searched for the right treatment for my hair and have often been disappointed. But when I came to this place, I was truly impressed.

Most importantly, she gave me a thorough explanation of the different options and made me feel completely comfortable. The products she used were high quality, and my hair looked like it came out of a magazine!
I can confidently say—I’ll definitely be coming back.“

I had another wonderful experience at Ulta thanks to Tessa. She has helped me on multiple visits, and each time I leave feeling more confident and knowledgeable about makeup.

On a previous visit, Tessa helped me select lip gloss products and showed me how to apply eye makeup. She also encouraged me to watch tutorials and videos to learn different techniques, which I really appreciated.

During my most recent visit, she helped me find the perfect bronzer and contour products for my skin tone and took the time to demonstrate how to apply them correctly. What impresses me most is her ability to match products to a wide variety of complexions and skin tones. She has a great eye for color and truly understands how different products work on different people.

Tessa is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in helping customers find what works best for them. Her recommendations have always been spot on, and she makes the shopping experience enjoyable and educational. Ulta is fortunate to have someone with her expertise and customer service skills on their team.

On another visit, I had such a great experience getting help with makeup from Kiana! She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and really took the time to help me find the right products and shades that truly complemented me. I never felt rushed, and she made the whole process easy and enjoyable.

She even showed me how to apply the new products I didn’t have experience with, which made a huge difference and gave me so much more confidence using them on my own.

If you need help, I highly recommend going in on a Saturday and asking for Kiana. She will point you in the right direction, and you will leave feeling confident and satisfied with your choices!“

“Today was a great day ! I had some color for the first time on my hair with LoAn, very knowledgeable and professional on what she does, and I am very happy with the outcome, she is very creative as I am expected. Definitely I will recommend my family and friends to go to her. ? it is good to have a hairstylist that can communicate effectively with you for having good results.
Thank you LoAn.“

“This place is amazing! Cassandra did such a beautiful job with my balayage/highlights, even though my hair had been box-dyed before. She listened to everything I asked for and was so sweet. The salon is also super friendly and clean, I highly recommend!“

“In all of my years getting a high skin fade, has anyone blended a line like Jimenna. I'm from FL and came to visit and saw my cousin's cut and was like No Way. Went, got my cut and had to double her pay. She is that good. Quick too, clean place, calm atmosphere. 10⭐️s.“
