A-List Salon

I did not have a good experience at this place at all. I went for a roller set. I have been transitioning for 8 months. Usually I do my own roller sets but decided to go to a salon this particular time. Anyway, I could have gotten better results had I done my own hair. After one day my hair was back in a ponytail. I paid 40 dollars. Absolutely over priced. If you have natural hair this salon is not for you. Save your money. In response to Valerie below, I didn’t tip actually the stylist gave me a discount. Yes the ladies were respectful and accommodating but my review is based on the stylists ability to do hair. I was not satisfied at all, especially for the price I was charged.

For my tl;dr folks… my experience was amazing! Everyone should get their hair done by Valerie! She’s crazy funny and also super professional and I haven’t felt this in love my hair in a long time!
I usually use Unilocal to find cheap and awesome new food places but this is the first time I actually wanted to write a review! I’d recently traveled to MD to visit some friends after having moved out of state last year. Since I didn’t have time before flying over I wanted to get my hair done… especially since I hadn’t had it professionally done in a while. One of my friends mentioned that there was a new salon near Bowie State University, BSU!!! Which was awesome because I was actually on my way there to say hello to some of my old professors!
When I got to the A-​list Salon I was greet by Valerie who (to my embracement as I just walked right in with out looking at the sign) informed me that they weren’t quite open yet but didn’t mind taking care of me! While she got her station ready she brought me a delicious Pina Colada (non-​alcoholic of course!) in a real glass. Later Valerie talked about the salon and what I was looking to do with my hair especially since I’d hadn’t had it professionally cared for the past couple months. My gosh! How I’d missed getting my hair professionally washed and Valerie talked to me about the different products they used and how my hair would benefit from them (and not in that buy this stuff kind of way).
A-​List Salon also offers two incentive packages, the VIP Membership and the All-​Access Pass. I actually got the All-​Access Pass since I’m not living in MD anymore but visit frequently, which would give me a discount on my next 3 visits! That’ll definitely come in handy as I’m attending a wedding in 2 months as well!
Even though I’m back home now my hair still feels AMAZING! I had a great experience, I’ve always been a little weary of heat damage but I felt Valerie handled my hair with the utmost professionalism and care. I definitely can’t want to come back and see her!
