The salon is at 9906 River Rd. in Potomac and opened at its current address in April 2018, after a major renovation. The salon describes itself as a premier salon and spa. It is open Wednesday through Saturday, 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, and is closed Sunday through Tuesday.

About

The hair menu is grouped into color, enhance, highlight, style, cut, smooth, bridal and extensions. Color runs from root touch-ups and glosses or toners to single and double process, partial highlights and color correction for a previous service that did not turn out as wanted. Balayage is hand-painted so the color blends through the hair. Highlight prices may be adjusted during consultation to match the specific request, and hair extensions are priced after a consultation.

Smoothing options include the Keratin Complex, which lessens frizz and curl and shortens styling time for results lasting up to five months. The Magic Sleek straightening system is designed for damaged hair and is made with omega 3s and vitamin E. Also offered are an advanced glycolic treatment and an express blowout. For weddings, the salon provides a hair trial for the bride, styling on the wedding day, and a package covering the bride and her wedding party, with pricing available on inquiry.

The nail menu offers a signature manicure with soak, clean-up, exfoliating scrub, mask and an essential oil lotion massage, along with a gel manicure that is UV lamp-applied, soak-off and lasts up to 14 days. Pedicures, a combined gel manicure and pedicure, and a paired hands-and-feet option are also offered, with add-ons such as paraffin dips, callus relief, gel removal and extra massage time.

To book, clients can use the contact form on the website or reach the salon by phone or email.
