About

Thrive by Rachel is a hair salon at 5801 Fishers Lane in Rockville, Maryland, owned by Rachel Waks. Services are grouped into color, haircuts, styling and treatments, and the salon is open Monday through Friday with Wednesday closing earlier than the other days; it is closed on weekends.

The color menu runs from gloss, lowlights and vivid color to root touch-ups, all-over color, face framing highlights, partial and full highlights, and air touch balayage. Vivid color begins with a consultation covering the look, lightening process, maintenance, pricing and number of appointments needed. Color correction starts with a consultation on current condition, color history and desired result, then a customized plan; pricing varies. Color removal takes out artificial color or fashion shades, and any new color or toning is booked separately. Color services such as all-over color, balayage, highlights, gloss, lowlights, root touch-up, vivid color and color correction include a K18 treatment.

Haircut options include cuts for children 13 and under, men's haircuts, buzz cuts done with clippers that include a personalized consultation and precise edging, curly haircuts, and short and long cuts. Bang trims and beard trims are also offered; the beard trim covers trimming, detailing and cleanup of the beard, neckline and cheek lines.

Styling includes a blow dry finish, which is typically added to a haircut, color or chemical service, and the Thrive Blowout, which combines a shampoo, conditioning and a customized round-brush blow-dry in a smooth, bouncy or voluminous finish. Treatments include deep conditioning and two keratin smoothing services. Express Keratin is the shorter option, meant to reduce frizz and add shine, with results the site says typically last 4 to 6 weeks depending on hair type and home care. Keratin Treatment is the longer smoothing service, aimed at reducing frizz and improving hair health, with results that vary by hair type and home maintenance.

Clients who cannot keep an appointment are asked to notify the salon as soon as possible to reschedule. The About page lists 16 reviews on the booking platform.
