Melania Hair Design Dominican Salon & Barbershop 2221 Defense Highway, Crofton, MD 21114

"My last visit was so disappointing. They did what I didn't ask for and overcharged me. They do a good job but you have to be sure u r getting what you asked for else they do something else for you."

"Great location. The perk of being open on a Sunday morning (appt made prior of course) Thanks to the staff, I like the look and my hair feels great!"

"I have been going to Melania’s for almost 10 years all of my daughters and myself go. I am very particular and have lots of allergies and sensitivities and the hair stylists were so kind and patient and made me feel at ease. I had bad experiences with other salons where the stylist would talk about me and my dandruff, but that was not the case at Melania’s! The owner takes pride in the professionalism of his stylists and the salon! They offer beverages and if you don’t like something, tell him and he will make it right! Every visit has not been perfect, but Daniel makes sure I am happy each time I leave! That is why I keep coming back!"

"walking in- i walked in and looked around there was a blonde lady in a chair so i called her name and i honestly don’t think she heard me so i did some looking for myself, i saw the sign in tablet and it wouldn’t let me enter my email so i was just calling her over like “hi!” “excuse me!”, i eventually called the hair salon (yes while i was in the salon) and the man who answered told me he would take care of it, i’m not sure what he did because to me it didn’t look like he was in the salon (he was in the back) so i was just like confused. so then she finally gets up and walked over and told me to sign in on the paper, which i did and then i follow her back to the wash section. wash-we walk over to the washing bowl and she was very gentle. humming and singing asking if the water was okay, used all the normal products and washed/combed thoroughly. not much to say here just was thorough yet gentle and was receptive to the things i did (i.e. stopped moving my head so i could wipe my ear,stopped moving so i could adjust myself in the chair,etc.) we wrapped up and it was about thirty minutes/forty minutes and then we walked over to the chair behind the washing center and i sit in the chair. roller/detangling- my mom detangled my hair beforehand so i didn’t really have to worry about it but i am a victim to shrinkage and that can cause the hair to tangle up again, so she combed through as usual and there really was nothing to note about that part of the experience. she was very gentle and there was little to no pain really so she put the rollers in and we continued like normal and then i was walked over to the dryer dryer-i sat under the dryer for about x amount of minutes and listened to a podcast, i was led over to the other chair afterwards. blow dryer- very quick and thorough, split the hair into little sections which made it easier to detangle and blow dry+brush. flat iron-she only flat ironed some parts in order to do the curls so i don’t have much to say about that. curling process-curling process was just the larger flat iron turned over and right side up, very quick and no pain. she was very considerate end credits-in conclusion, out of ten i’d give it a 9 star experience. i was very pleased with the result and the process was very quick to say the least (arrived at 11:20,left at 2:05), Aida was very considerate and making sure i was comfortable while also getting the job done. the only reason it’s not a ten is because of the beginning when i walked in and i was standing there for some time, otherwise it was a very great experience! i got a roller set and asked her to only curl the ends and it came out to 60$! very cheap and worth it!!"

"This was the worst salon experience I’ve ever had after not putting heat or dying my hair for a year I decided to go to this salon per a friend telling me about and the owner was not in there. The guy at the front asked me what I wanted I showed a picture he said yes we can do this for you. I showed the older lady that was doing my hair a picture of it and she said yes she could do it. Then she proceeds to give me the color book and tell me too choose a color and I have no knowledge of color so I told I came to you to get my hair done I don’t know what color it is. She says okay and proceeds to put a copper red on my hair when I asked for a champagne brown with highlights. I showed them multiple times the picture of what I wanted and they didn’t know what they where doing the lady that washes hair she was extremely rude and ruff with my hair. When they put the dye on my hair my scalp was burning and itching to the point I wanted to scream. I left with an ugly color in my hair and had to pay $90 for something I didn’t want. I left with my hair wet and my forehead and ear full with color cause they did a sloppy job of dying my hair. Then I proceeded to have an allergic reaction for days breaking out on the sides of my face. Also my nails got messed up from having to freaking scratch my scalp because it was burning so bad and the lady wasn’t trying to help but told me it’s supposed to itch. I had dye all over my hands. There’s a picture of what I wanted it’s like a champagne brown light brown."
