Célia's Salon Bethesda MD

The salon operates two studios. The Washington, DC location is on MacArthur Boulevard, with hours of 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Tuesdays through Saturdays; it is closed Sundays and Mondays. The Bethesda studio, in Suite 200 at 5400 Westbard Avenue, keeps longer weekday hours of 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM from Monday to Friday, closes at 5:00 PM on Saturdays, and opens Sundays from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Bethesda is therefore the only location open on Sundays.

The salon says it takes time to listen to each client and shape every service around their lifestyle and what they want. It describes its team as internationally diverse, with many members having run their own businesses before joining. Owner and Master Stylist Célia is actively involved at both locations.

Color is a major part of the menu: balayage and fashion tones, color glosses that add shine and tone, root touchups matched to the existing shade, all-over color, face-framing highlights, and partial or full highlights. Partial highlights are hand-painted through select sections. Haircuts are offered for women, men, girls and boys, with women's cuts shaped to texture, face shape and lifestyle. Shampoo + Blow Dry is the salon's signature styling service. Prices are listed as starting amounts and vary by service and stylist, so the salon asks clients to contact the location or check the booking page for a quote.

Treatments include keratin and keratin thermal straightening, Brazilian Blowout, thermal straightening and permanent waves. Head spa treatments use a scalp massage with botanicals, starting at $160 and offered at Westbard, where spa add-ons such as exfoliating treatments and head spa rituals are also available. Facials include Célia's Relaxing Signature Facial at $169 and Célia's Therapeutic Oxygen Facial at $250, which is available at Bethesda. Bethesda also offers a dermaplaning facial, and options such as lymphatic massage vary by location.

The salon takes time to understand each client's lifestyle and goals, then tailors each service to them.

The salon describes its atmosphere as chic and welcoming.
