About Odalis Hair Salon

Odalis Hair Salon is an owner-led beauty salon in Gaithersburg, Maryland, at 107 Washington Grove Ln. The owner is also the main stylist, and the work centers on silk press and roller set styling for thick, long hair. A hair wash is part of the service, and deep conditioning and trims for clipped ends are also on the list. Many clients have kept coming back for years, which suits a salon run by one stylist who handles the main work herself. Visits are by appointment. The salon is open Monday to Saturday and closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the owner's hands-on styling, especially straightening thick, long natural hair, which one longtime client says comes out right every time. Close behind are the kind, courteous staff, with several describing a relaxing wash, a deep condition and roller set, and a trim that left dry, brittle hair shiny and bouncy. One parent says the owner made both her and her daughter happy in the same visit, and a few say walk-ins were taken without an appointment. The complaints are serious and cluster around pricing and hair handling. One reviewer says a phone quote for a blowout over extensions ended well above the range at checkout, that a rough wash tangled and matted the extensions, that a flat iron was set to 400 degrees, and that the owner refused a refund. Another says the wash and detangling of type 4 hair caused extreme matting, and a third objects to paying for a full service when only styling was done. One walk-in who left for an emergency came back and was still taken care of.

    “This was one of the most unprofessional salon experiences I have ever had. The day before my appointment, I called specifically to ask for pricing on a blowout with my extensions installed. I was asked how long my extensions were and was quoted $75–$85. I was never told “and up,” nor was I informed that prices are not given over the phone. During my appointment, my hair was washed extremely roughly, which caused my extensions to tangle. I had to correct the person washing my hair and explain how my extensions should be handled. After being placed under the dryer, no one checked on me when I was finished. Before my hair was even completed, I was asked to pay. I was then told the total was $120, which was significantly higher than the price I was quoted. When I questioned this, I was told it was “$75–$85 and up,” which was never communicated beforehand. This is misleading and unacceptable. The next morning, I woke up to my hair matted and tangled into my natural hair, forcing me to return to the salon. When I expressed my concerns and asked about either receiving a refund or having my hair fixed, I was told to come back in. When I returned, the flat iron was set to 400 degrees. I had to stop the stylist and tell her not to use that temperature because it would burn my extensions. This should not have been necessary—proper heat settings and hair protection should be standard practice. While there, I observed staff preparing to overcharge another client. I spoke up and explained that the reason I was back was due to being overcharged myself. At that point, a man entered the conversation, claimed he was the owner, and stated that they do not give prices over the phone. I explained that I wasn’t given a price range, and the situation escalated, making it seem as though I was being accused of lying. I clearly stated that this would be my last time ever coming to this salon. The owner responded that he didn’t care, became argumentative, and refused to issue a refund. His behavior was dismissive, hostile, and completely unprofessional. Although my hair was fixed during that visit, the lack of accountability, careless handling of hair, misleading pricing, and disrespectful treatment by management ensures that I will never return. I will also be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and other appropriate agencies.”

    “There is absolutely no need to charge for a full service when only styling was done. I was offered no treatment, no hair washing or trimming yet I paid for a full service. The charge is ridiculous compared to what was done. In addition, my …”

    “I got a deep condition and roller set with no appointment and was taking care of immediately. Everyone is so nice and efficient. I had to leave for an emergency and came back and I was still taking care of 6 hours later! Such a great spot I will be returning frequently”
