About

Uniq Salons, also called Uniq Hair Braiding Salon, is based on Olde Towne Avenue in Gaithersburg and names Gaithersburg and Montgomery Village as its service area. According to the salon, it has more than 400 satisfied clients, more than eight expert braiders, and over 50 braiding styles.

Appointments can be booked online. A $25 non-refundable deposit secures the time and is included in the final total. Prices are not fixed: most styles are quoted as a range, and the final cost depends on the braid length chosen, which is confirmed by email. Time estimates are posted by length, so micro braids, knotless braids and twist styles run from about 3 to 8 hours, French braids take 1 to 2 hours, men's braids take 1 to 3 hours, and a locs retwist takes about 2 hours.

Clients are asked to detangle their hair gently before the visit and to arrive with it washed and blow-dried, or to add a hair wash to the appointment. The balance is paid after the service by cash, credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or CashApp. The salon does not give refunds, so any hair concerns should be raised before leaving. Rescheduling is possible online or by phone at least 48 hours ahead, and late arrivals should be reported by call or text. Photos or videos may be taken for social media, and clients can opt out or have their identity obscured.

For anyone unsure which style suits them, the salon offers a virtual consultation with an expert braider over Google Meet, aimed at personalized style advice. The salon also sells body and hair butter, wild growth scalp oil, satin bonnets, and braided wigs.

The salon's stated values centre on creative and precise work, respect for diversity, and client satisfaction.

Styles are tailored to each client's hair and preferences, and a virtual consultation is available for those who want guidance first.

The salon describes its space as welcoming, comfortable and cozy, with a modern feel.
