I posted this question a while back perhaps do a search and you'll find the places that were mentioned. However my friend who is married to a Salvadorean gets his haircut at Golden Scissors Unisex Salon in DC where the women who has cut his hair for the last 15 years is Dominican... I don't have her name but my husband is looking for a Dominican hairdresser/barber, so far everyone else has managed to butcher his hair....

Lady,
I live in Alexandria. My wife, a dominicana, has tried several salons in Northern Virginia with dominicanas in them, but often goes back to one in Mt. Pleasant (DC) whose name escapes me just now. But I think she just found a place 2 weeks ago here in Virginia that she was reasonably satisified with. I'll inquire and report back to you.
Regards,
Keith

I used to go to two different salons in d.c., one dominican salon in adams morgan. I am looking for one in N. VA because I don't want to travel to dc every week.

There is a place in Arlington called Lucy La Domincana. I can't remember the name of the street it is on but she has a website. It is www.lucyladominicana.com. Lucia is a very friendly lady.

Yes, Lucia (Lucy) does speak Spanish. She also speaks English. If you call and when they answer the phone in Spanish. Just ask for Lucy and you'll be on your way.

Cool

As one who is traveling this month to DR for the first time, what is it that Dominican hairdressers specialize in doing? It is obvious that you value the service you get!

Default Looking For $$ Hair Salon Silver Spring/Wheaton MD

I need to relax my hair desperately, I had it done in Brooklyn just before Thanksgiving - they did a great job. Now I just moved to Wheaton MD I I don't speak Spanish, so I can't seem to find a DR salon. So far I received price quotes of $85 for a perm/relaxer. This is just way too expensive for my budget. Please can anyone recommend a moderately priced salon in Wheaton/Silver Spring MD area. Thanks so much.
