Best Hair Salons In Rockville

“I've often driven past Jenn Shin Studio when I'm in Rockville, and since I was looking for a new stylist, I decided to finally reach out. From my first conversation with Jenn to scheduling my appointment, she was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional. She truly cares about her clients -- even though she wasn't accepting new ones, she took the time to recommend stylists at her studio who would be a great fit for my needs. I ended up booking with Cindy, and she did not disappoint! She was so sweet and did an amazing job with both my cut and color. I asked for layers and a color that would blend my grays, and she nailed it! I highly recommend Jenn Shin Studio -- and especially Cindy!“

“Gabi Kim has been cutting my hair for many years. When she moved from Logan Circle I followed her. I used to walk around the block and now I drive 2 hours round trip. She’s absolutely worth it. She always checks in to see what I want her to do. She’s meticulous. I always know my hair will turn out great in her hands.“

“First time going to Ana and it was absolutely a great experience. I got an all over hair color, cut and a gloss and it was exactly what I wanted and imagined. Not only was the hair perfect, but Ana’s personality and hospitality were such a big reason as to why I felt so comfortable and confident during my appointment. Definitely recommended her and her services!“

“Debbie at 4&Co is the best! She styled my hair for my wedding and did a fabulous job, and I keep going back to her for all my special events, as well as regular hair appointments. I've recommended Debbie to many friends and relatives over the years and they have all been thrilled.“

“The service here is exceptional! Aniya went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied and I looked amazing! SHE IS talented! From the champagne I was graciously served to this flawless blowout !!!!! I’m coming back !“

“I love getting haircuts from
Christina’s mom for above shoulders women’s haircut. Speed isn’t her forte, however she’s meticulous and her cuts are quite stylish for my super thick hair!“

“A+ customer service. Quality services, if you know you know—the best salon in Rockville, MD, PERIOD. Get your hair done. My favorite salon. What are you waiting on? Book that appointment.“

“Love my haircut from Zulma! She did a great job of listening to what I wanted, was lovely to chat with, and the studio is beautiful. Also a great value. I’ll definitely be back for hair and to check out the other services that will be available soon!“

“Toddler‘s first haircut was a perfect experience - great quality cut and a fun, smooth, easy experience. 120% recommend!“

“Gladys has been my hair stylist for over 20+ years for good reason: I trust her completely to know what I can and cannot pull off. She takes the time and has the expertise to explain why a color or style can work with my lifestyle, coloring, age, and willingness (or lack of!) for any level of maintenance. I have come to her with photos I have liked, and she will find the essence of the look and tailor it to me, so that I always feel myself. I have gone through long, short, bangs, and colors, and she has made every age look fabulous. She knows her stuff! She is a true professional. She has been and is a partner as I move through the decades gracefully.“

“I got my hair cut on a whim due to wanting a fresh start for the lunar new year. I really had no clear vision of what would look good on me but was able to find some clear inspiration pictures on Pinterest. Peng was very helpful in helping me come to a decision!

The haircut:
Peng was my stylist and I believe he did a great job. He was very approachable and skilled. We started with a hair wash, blow dry. Peng then blew my hair out, and finished with the haircut. I think this allowed for an easier way for me to see the vision. I am very pleased with how my hair turned out, and I’m glad I came to this salon.

As many reviews have mentioned: this is a primarily Chinese-speaking salon. This did present some communication barriers for me as Peng and I were unable to communicate as well as we would have wanted. Google translate did help a bit.

The space:
Tucked away on the side of a shopping center, the salon was a tad outdated and stuck to essentials. Otherwise clean and spacious. I also noticed that a lot of the brushes and scissors weren’t put into Barbicide. I’m not sure what the process of cleaning tools between clients is, so this is why I deducted 1 star due to me feeling a bit off about that.

Overall, I think my $75 haircut was well worth it for the amount of hair I cut off and getting to work with the pleasant Peng. If they up their cleanliness, I’d be sure to go back! Thank you, InStyle!“

“What a great hair salon. Apparently this is a new group and hey are part of Aveda. Great professional service done in a timely fashion. Color, cut and a style at a fair price! I am new from NYC, and I have found my new favorite place!!“

“Went to Annum after needing to correct my hair. It was over processed and bleached and what I didn’t want from my precious stylist after moving here from San Diego! I showed her some pictures of what I wanted and she nailed it. Her professionalism, expertise, and artistic skills are amazing! My hair now looks beautiful and I would Recommend her over and over again! Shes the best!“

“Kat was very pleasant to work with! First time getting my hair and make up done by her and I will definitely be back for sure. She was very sweet to talk to, easy to communicate with and her work was exceptionally amazing! ?“

“Hands down one of the best layered haircuts I've ever gotten! My stylist did an amazing job with the face-framing and long layers. Highly recommend!“

“I have been a client of the L’or Salon since it opened in 2014. Before that, I have been a client of two of the three owners of the salon for nearly 25 years. Today, even though I have long since moved from D.C., I take a plane and fly across the country to see Nami at least once a year. I believe she may the best stylist in the country, and she has perfected the Japanese thermal conditioning treatment. Beyond that, Nami has become a trusted personal friend for whom I have the highest respect and admiration.

The salon is extremely clean in a beautiful area of Rockville. Tools are sanitized frequently. Nami is frankly OCD about cleanliness, as am I. In our post-Covid era, this is very important.

The staff is very friendly, and they go out of their way to welcome their clients. They know everyone’s personal story and make customers feel like family. I am especially happy to support the salon because it is owned, operated, and staffed by the most diverse team I ever have encountered in the beauty industry.

Nami will take the time that you need to give you flawless hair, whether you are seeing her for a haircut, color, updo, or treatment. For example, if you have long, wavy hair, expect to spend at least five hours in the salon undergoing the Japanese thermal conditioning treatment. But your hair will be straight, shiny, and strong, when you emerge from the salon, and the treatment will last for the life of that hair. You will need to be treated again when significant new hair growth occurs, but most people will not need more than 1-2 treatments per year.

On a personal note, Nami is friendly but not intrusive. She is discrete, trustworthy, and sophisticated. Nami takes the time to listen and respond to each client’s personal preferences. She will make recommendations, but she is not overbearing. She is fair-minded about pricing. She takes good care of her clients because it is a reflection of her own character but also because she genuinely cares. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Nami, and I fully intend to be a lifelong client.

I am proud to refer friends and family member to Nami, Victor, Paul, and Elba at the L’or Salon because they are exceptionally good at what they do. They care about their clients. And they work incredibly hard to get the last hair in place. If you are looking for perfectionists who will take the time to create lovely hair, then the L’or Hair Salon is the salon for you.

Anyone can write anything on the internet. I have taken the time to write this review because I have longtime personal experience with Nami and the team at the L’or salon, and they have earned my loyalty. The L’or salon is a small business that is excellent at its craft and deserves to be supported.“

“Excellent! I really love my hair cut, color and gloss treatment. She listens to your needs and gives great recommendations. I appreciate that she takes great care to make my hair look amazing ?.“

“I've been a client of Anne's for years and love her new salon. The location is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking. I love how Anne cuts my hair, which tends to be fine and she finds ways to add back volume. She always gives me a head massage during the shampoo and it really relieves the tension in my head and neck. She is super responsive to text messages which is great because my work schedule is a little demanding and I've had to reschedule hair appointments at the last minute. Anne's always been very flexible with my scheduling needs. She is a super nice person too!“

“I loved my curly haircut with Inessa. I have used a blow dryer for years, and when I didn't, my hair was a curly mess because it was always cut using techniques appropriate for straight hair. Inessa' skill in identifying a correct technique for individual curly hair is undeniable. She studies your hair and face to come up with the haircut that enhances your face, not upstaging it. If you have curly hair, do yourself a favor and get a curly cut by Inessa.“

“Angelina is a wonderful stylist and fabulous with kids! Her new salon is a gem and we feel fortunate to have found her.“

“I have been coming to Oasis Hair Salon since 2011, absolutely love the experience, it truly excellent from start to finish. The salon itself has a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Everything feels thoughtfully designed to create a positive experience.

I had my appointment with Kenya, and she did an outstanding job. She took the time to listen carefully to what I wanted and offered thoughtful suggestions tailored to my hair type and daily routine. Her attention to detail and precision throughout the appointment gave me complete confidence in her work.

The difference in quality at Oasis is clear, especially with the products they use. Every product felt high-end and nourishing, and my hair has never looked or felt healthier. Instead of the temporary results I’ve experienced at other salons, my hair left the appointment feeling soft, strong, and noticeably revitalized.

Kenya’s professionalism, skill, and genuine care made this one of the best salon experiences I’ve ever had. I left feeling refreshed and confident, and I have already received many compliments on my hair.

I highly recommend Oasis Hair Salon, and particularly Kenya, to anyone looking for exceptional service and top-quality care.

I would recommend any curly haired person to check out this salon. You will not be disappointed!“

“Wow, can't say enough good things. Worth supporting this individually owned hair salon. I needed a Men's haircut before an event and stopped by here because of the recommendation of a friend. Mayda gave me such a good cut, and I was out within 30min. She is very clearly good at what she does. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area“

“Samantha is amazing. I have been going to her for years. She is incredibly talented— especially with color. Highly recommend!“
