About

Plum's Hair Gallery describes itself as a natural beauty salon. It works with curly, kinky, coiled, straight, wavy and mixed hair, and says its stylists have in-depth knowledge across those textures. Natural hair care is a focus, including instruction on caring for natural hair at home.

The salon covers a wide range of hair services. Color options include highlights, lowlights, balayage, babylights, ammonia-free color, glazes and pastels, color for braids, and grey coverage with a root touch-up. Extension work includes interlocking, fusion, weaves, net weaves and sew-ins. Human hair extensions, described as never chemically treated, can be dyed, highlighted, cut or permed to match a client's own hair, and synthetic extensions are also offered. Relaxing is available as a semi-permanent straightening treatment that reduces frizz, and silk press is offered for those who want to change their natural texture without chemical relaxers.

A barbershop operates alongside the salon, serving men of all ages and backgrounds, including those with thinning or receding hair. The shop describes itself as a blend of a classic barbershop and a creative space. Cuts include short and long styles, buzz cuts, crew cuts and fades, along with line ups for a clean hairline, beard and mustache trims, hot towel shaves and grey blending color. Designs can be worked into the side of a fade.

Dreadlock services cover interlocking, crocheting, palm rolling, natural locking, backcombing and extensions. Repair is offered for dreads that are too heavy, coming loose, breaking, irritating the scalp or needing hydration. Repair can include splitting overly thick dreads into two or three pieces, relocking, applying hydrating serums and fixing breaks. Dreadlock appointments can take up to six hours, and the length is estimated at the consultation. At-home care guidance covers light products, keeping hair clean, covering hair at night and letting dreads dry fully after showering.

Every new client is asked to have a consultation before the first appointment, which the salon describes as central to matching clients with the right stylist. Consultations cover hair texture, thickness, length and health, and for dreadlocks, the locking method. According to the Rockville barbershop page, consultations are free for new clients. Color services require an in-depth consultation first, and barbershop clients are matched with a barber. Some services take a few hours. Pricing is described as transparent and affordable. Hours are Sunday and Monday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Tuesday to Thursday 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Friday 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Appointments are booked by calling the salon or visiting in person.

Each visit starts with a consultation, and the salon chooses services such as dreadlock methods based on hair thickness, length and natural texture.

The studio is described as warm, relaxed and welcoming.
