EYMA Salon & Spa

Jackie is so wonderful! She has been cutting and highlighting my hair for about two years now and it always looks perfect! She is always attentive and takes her time and really cares about doing a good job!

I’ve been getting my hair done at Eyma salon Jackie Paez for five years and even more so when she was at other salons. She is an awesome stylist and has your best interests in mind. I have extremely thick and curly hair and she is an expert in giving a shapely cut and accentuating the curls! She also has good insight as to what color looks good on you depending on your complexion. I highly recommend Jackie and Eyma salon!!!

Jackie has been doing my hair for a year and a half (cut and color) and it’s never looked better. Highly recommend this place. Joann is also fantastic! Great service.

My review is for eyelash extensions. I got them on yesterday and they look so natural and beautiful. For a long time I have researched about the different techniques and products available on the market and also wanted to find the right place. Finally I decided on EYMA and it was a perfect choice!!! A big thanks goes to SUE whom is their certified professional specialized in this field.

This is such a nice salon — my daughter came here for an Ombré/​fire hair look after Bella Salon in Bethesda was not competent to execute it. We were able to get an appointment within a day of calling, and the work was done quickly and expertly. Plus the rates are much more favorable than other places in Bethesda. We will definitely be back.

was told to go to this salon, to see a girl name sini, who’s supposed to be amazing. come to find out, an old love kathy also works there. now my chose ??? g.v.

EYMA is a fabulous Hair Sain in Bethesda. Quality Hair experts and I am very selective with hair salons & stylists; Eyal gives the best haircuts & hair treatments. My hair is in excellent condition now. Everyone in the salon is friendly & helpful.
Rosa is my favorite nail person; she spends time doing a great job & pampers the nails
Joanne is a superb Esthician from Dublin, Ireland. Her facial will improve your skin & I fall asleep it is so relaxing. You do not need a therapist or wine when you leave EYMA, you will be relaxed, recharged & look great!!!

Sinia Cruz gave my 11 year old son the best haircut he has ever had in his life! She listened to his desire to keep it long yet shaped and thinned it for manageability. He has the preteen style that he wanted and she made it look amazing! We are back for another cut and he trusts she will not over cut. She is also very engaging with him.

I interviewed for a job at this salon and during the interview I was asked if I had any children because apparently they’d had issues with employees with unreliable childcare. Not only is this discriminatory but it’s also illegal. I would not support this business, much less work there.

I went to Sinia twice. The first time, she was 45 minutes late. The other stylists and owner refused to do my hair noting that they didn’t want to take her client. Ironic, considering she would likely lose me given her late arrival. I have her a chance, as the owner assured me this never happens with sinia. Well, Sinia apologized profusely yet after giving me a «complimentary» hair masque treatment, had me sit for another hour and a half while she took her client scheduled after me. The hair cut was, however, fabulous. So, I have her another chance. I am here sitting waiting for her to arrive. She is thirty minutes late. I am about to leave. Sinia has lost my business as she is irresponsible and completely apathetic regarding the treatment if her customers. The staff is wholly unsympathetic and does not seem apologetic at all.

I have followed Sinia (or Sini) for years now and am always blown away by her work. I have gone to Sini for highlights, lowlights, color, cut and style. She has taken my natural dark brown hair and transformed it into the dirty blonde «beach babe» hair that I have always wanted. The technique she uses allows it grows out beautifully to where I can go 2 – 3 months without and ugly looking line of roots. She takes the time to make sure my hair stays healthy so I am able to continue to grow it out.
Sinia has always listened to exactly what I want and will always give me her honest, professional advice when consulting with me. She always takes my hair to the exact perfect shade of blonde for my skin, eyes and the time of year. She also listens to exactly what I want in a haircut. I have never once felt «chopped» by her like I have with many other stylists.
Every time I leave her chair I feel like I have super model hair! Her warm and caring personality always makes you feel comfortable and truly cared for. I would recommend Sini to anyone!
This was my first time at Eyma Salon and I was very impressed. Front desk staff was very friendly, location and parking were easy, and the store itself was clean and nicely maintained.

Disaster! Please read!!! I wish I read and took seriously some of the reviews below, I would have avoided the embarrassment I experienced today.
I decided to get my hair colored today and my regular spot was closed (Sunday) so I decided to go here. I called and asked about the cost for color and was quoted $ 70. I said deal, I’m on my way.
As I sat down in the chair and the stylist struggled to explain to me what she was going to do I got a gut feeling that I should just walk out, instead of listening, and against my better judgment I stayed. We decided to do OMBRÉ. I told her I didn’t want to go to light and she agreed
While waiting for my color I noticed the receptionist walked out on a smoke break, I know this because she paraded with a cigarette in her mouth through the salon. So distasteful ! I don’t care that she smokes but I don’t want to see the cig in your mouth while you’re inside.
The stylist seemed like she didn’t know what she was doing. Her hands shook and it made me feel uncomfortable. But at that point it was too late. After my color was done she put a toner on my dyed hair as well as my natural hair which lightened my natural color. I asked her about it and she said it was fine and that my natural color won’t be affected. After a wash it was clear that the hair changed color (I have med brown natural hair) now it was dark blonde. She still denied it and said it was just the light that made it seem that way and I should wait till she blow dries it. Fine.
She dried my hair and I thought I was going to cry. My hair did change color, and the ends were bleach blonde!!! but the worst part was that I had a STRAIGHT line in the back. I told her about the line and she denied it AGAIN, and claimed there was no line. We went back and forth and only after I started to lose my cool she admitted to the line and said that she will fix it by putting some highlights.
At that point I didn’t care what she was going to do I just didn’t want to walk out with a straight line. She did my highlights and it didn’t help at all. She created another straight line on top of my head now. She said that she will FIX IT AGAIN but I have to come back another day.
By then it was 3:00pm (I got there at 11am) and I was over this whole experience, I said I’m ok and decided to leave.
At checkout the receptionist informed me that I should pay $ 165.00 and not the original $ 70 I was quoted. I asked for a manager and she said she was it (Mellissa-​the smoker) I asked if she is really going to charge me $ 165 for this disaster on my head and she said yes. Maybe they should have let me know the cost before she started this whole fiasco. I would have definitely not agreed to it. Not because I mind paying but because I had a bad feeling about that place and it would be a reason for me to leave and avoid all of this.
In the end I’m stuck with the most horrific ombré (actually u can’t even call it that) and I have to go to my regular stylist and try to salvage this.
I am going to contact the owner and see if there is something he can do to rectify this for me, and will be updating this review.
You will be better off letting a 5 year old doing your hair than waste money here.
Do NOT GO HERE unless you like looking like a joke.
Update: I got in touch with the other manager Lisa (much more professional than the one I encountered during my first visit) and she offered for me to come in and get my hair fixed by Gloria. I went today and got a great color, she pretty much gave me the ombré I originally wanted. I am changing my star rating from 1 to 3 because I feel like they really fixed this for me. If you’re going to go there ask for GLoria only!!! Do not trust Jackie to do your hair.

Got a keratin treatment here. After washing the product out my hair, the smell is absolutely disgusting… like sulfur and wet dog. I’ve washed repeatedly and the smell is still there. I’ve had numerous keratin treatments from a variety of other brands and never experienced anything like this before. I would highly recommend NOT getting a keratin treatment here. The stylist mentioned that the salon uses their own keratin product line and all I can say is… ew. So gross.
I gave eyma two stars because the front desk staff was so efficient and courteous.

I followed Kathy back to here and she and the Salon never disappoints. They have always been prompt, on time, and courteous.

I will follow DeeDee to the ends of the earth.
After color or cut by her, I walk out feeling fantastic. She has an amazing artistic sense, knows exactly what I will like, and is fun to talk to to boot. I gave the salon 4 stars just because of the Bethesda vibe in there that is a little uncomfortable but DeeDee is 5 stars all the way!

Yes, that’s right, EYMA gets five star rating from this loyal customer for years. I first met Eyal and Mossimo when they were out on Rockville Pike at David’s. I moved with them as they transitioned into their new environment and friendly atmosphere on Woodmont Avenue in Bethesda.
I’ve been with Mossimo and Eyal for years now and that says a lot. I am not an easily satisfied customer when it comes to hair cuts. I am picky, but aren’t we all when it comes to our hair? When I first moved to the area back, I returned home (Knoxville, TN.) driving 500 miles to get my hair cut. Fortunately, I found David’s and Mossimo and Eyal and eliminated that long drive.
As previously stated, I am very, very picky when it comes to my hair cuts and given the time I’ve been with Mossimo and Eyal I suppose this proves I am a satisfied customer. There have been the occasional times when I’ve not been happy with some aspect of the cut but neither of them feels threatened or dissed if I tell them. We work together to ensure it’s exactly what I want. I even stop in between cuts to get my bangs trimmed at no cost. What more could a customer ask for.
If you haven’t been to EYMA, check it out. You’ll get one of the best haircuts in town. I can guarantee 100% customer satisfaction. They’re good. No I am not on the payroll. Just a loyal fan.

Not The greatest experience here. Got my roots touched up and yes my hair turned out nicely which is what it most important so that gets them the extra star but that’s where it ends. I told my hair stylist I had to be out by a certain time she assured me that would be fine but of course it didnt happen. I told them to be careful applying the color to my hair BC my skin burns easily they weren’t. I asked them to dye my eye brows to match they didn’t.

A little while ago I got a gift card for the wife and asked at the desk, if I could specify services so when she came in, she would get the package I picked. Of course I could, I was assured, so I told my wife that she should just go there and I already picked the services she would receive. I also confirmed that the gift card would never expire, since we were planning a longer trip out of the country but weren’t quite sure when.
When my wife went there, she came home very mad because instead of the spa treatments I picked, she got a haircut by someone who «accidentally» gave her a buzz cut in the front. So I went back to Eyma with her to talk to the owner. He said they would fix it, I asked for the money back. He said that was not possible, but assured that fixing it would not be a problem. How exactly do you fix hair that one of your hairdressers just cut army style in the front? He said to let it grow out and come back. We came back once it had grown out and were told that now it was too late to fix it. Seriously?
Since we were about to leave the country for half a year on an extended vacation, we did not feel like arguing. I asked the owner again if we could at least use the remainder of the gift card once we returned, and was assured that this was the case.
So we went on our vacation and when we came back I decided to get a massage for what was left on the gift card. So I called in beforehand, made an appointment, told the lady on the phone that I still had an old gift card and she once again assured me that their gift cards never expire and hence it was still valid (for the third time now) and they would be happy to see me.
Once I got there, I handed the girl at the counter the gift card upon which she told me that it expired (mind you, these cards don’t have an expiration date on them). I asked to speak to the owner who condescendingly said they would not accept the gift card anymore. Upon asking him why not, since it doesn’t have an expiration date and he personally assured me that it wouldn’t expire, he responded that they don’t have to.
Ultimately, I don’t do business with people who I don’t trust and based on having been lied to by the owner several times, this tells me all I need to know about this place.

When heading to Eyma, I’ve only had Natalee at my stylist. But now that she’s no longer with the salon, and the salon still has the absolute perfect color formula for my hair in their records (a combination of red, gold and my base color of brown), I decided to go back. I saw on Unilocal that Didi got great reviews, so I chose her. I soon found out that she helped mentor Natalee as well. Both were very thorough in their work, and absolute perfectionists, which is HUGE for me, considering I am putting a high level of trust in them.
I was not disappointed with my decision. Even though I agreed to go short when she asked me twice, it took a bit of getting used to (12 hours), but now that it has grown on me, I realize that I finally look my age!
When I had long hair (below my shoulders) people would mistake me for being 22, when I am 28 and a nonprofit manager in DC. With the color of my hair and the fun, texturized, long layered, and cut with short face-​framing angles, she didn’t stop working on my hair until it was perfect and until I was very happy with it, I look sophisticated and professional. She started out with a conservative cut, and I couldn’t believe it, but I asked her to cut it shorter and shorter! Finally, she taught me each step of how to style my new short hair, was extremely patient with all my questions, and she showed me how to make sure my shampoo doesn’t strip my color so quickly.
This cut and color have brought out my face and bone structure more (especially my EYES) and while I worried that my physical look would be more professional, and less hot, that is apparently not true (according to several guys in my life) :)
Check out my picture to see her work.

I love u Didi… warm person very outgoing she made me feel like family. I never talk much with my hair stylist like that. She made me feel very comfortable and safe. (Entrusting your hair its a big deal for me) she did all she could to please me when it came to my hair cut color and high lites. It took quite some time but she made me feel beautiful again. The end product I give her a million stars.
Didi im back today and I know we will have lots of fun… Yey. oh by the way price wise was very good for all she did for me.

Denise is WONDERFUL. 5 stars for her, (4 for the price, but it is definitely worth it). She is very sweet and will help you figure out where to go with your hair! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, especially those with long hair. She also did an incredible updo for my wedding and for all my bridesmaids too — if you need wedding hair she is a total pro.
