Urban Natural Silver Spring

I tried to book an appointment with Davina and was super excited to see her. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to book online because my neighborhood is a new development and my address can be hard to verify with online purchases. I called the salon to book over the phone and the woman refused to allow me to book because I couldn’t complete the consult form with online booking. Complete let down.

Beautiful salon! Davina always gets me right with the hair treatment and natural twists - she also does my sisters loc retwist and style - never disappoints!

This is a cozy little natural hair salon specializing in natural black hair. The salon smells amazing. The aroma of sweet Shea butter hits you as soon as you walk in the door. It will never smell like relaxer since it's a natural hair salon! The decor is wooden with purple accents. It's a quaint space that makes you feel comfortable and at home. It is located on Bonifant street - home of many local mom and pop joints. The stylists are very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. They answer questions and help people transition from chemically treated hair to natural hair. They also assist in making the decision to "big chop". I first saw Lauren who cut all of my hair off in 2011, then had my locs started by Shameka in 2012, and then Dee who has been doing my hair for the past 6 years. Dee does such a great job and I constantly receive compliments. They use natural products like shea butter and black soap, but if you use any prescription products like medicated shampoo or oil, they can use that as well. I have an itchy scalp condition so I love the shampoo process. It is very soothing and it ends with an herbal rinse. The loc retwisting process includes a GENEROUS amount of your favorite Shea butter so be prepared for your hair to be shining and hella hydrated. The Shea butter is my favorite part! The people are cool too but it's really the Shea butter that brings me back, lol. Depending on your hair type and length, you can have it styled accordingly. I get my hair styled and then sit under the dryer. My hair is very thick and runs down my back so the drying process takes a long time - about 2hrs. Bring a book or your favorite electronic and a charger if you're like me. This salon is appointment only, so don't expect to be seen if you just roll up there wanting your hair done before your dinner party. You can make consult appointments online if you're not sure what you want to do with your hair. The stylists are helpful and typically run on schedule. They also have seminars or events occasionally where you can take a class or get your hair done photos taken. I give this place 5 stars because of the knowledgeable and friendly staff, the excellent service, and after 7 years my locs look amazing. Thanks ladies!

Dee is an excellent stylist and salon manager. The salon has a soothing atmosphere, wonderful aroma, and gives an amazing shampoo. Great hygiene past the pandemic. Affordable prices. Any concerns are readily addressed in a professional and personable way.

The atmosphere is warm and very inviting. The receptionist is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They will provide top of the line Products. The owner shampooed my hair and let me tell you it was extremely relaxing and very thorough. They use a detox shampoo that was very stimulating to the scalp. They provide essential oils and and herbal rinse as well on your scalp doing the shampoo. They are not just about the final results they provide excellent hair care as well. You will not be disappointed. Make your appointment soon. Dinah

I had the most wonderful hair experience in a very very long time. On Friday, May 4, 2018, I had the pleasure of meeting owner Dee, and experienced first hand service/treatment. She provided me with a shampoo out of this world, talk about invigorating, it brought my scalp to life and the conditioning was equally as good with a quality conditioner and to top it off, a hot towel. It set the tone for my hair styling which she helped me pick a style that complimented my face and at the end of my service she gave me a regime on how to care for my hair (type), a "written receipe" until my next appointment. I look forward to returning in two weeks . She gave me the one on one undivided attention I was so deserving. The facility was clean, soft music and very accommodating . Thank you Dee for my first experience , First impressions are lasting.

Salon is beautiful. My stylist was trash and I blame myself for not speaking up. The picture I added is immediately after appointment for curls and sitting under the dryer for over two hours. This was supposed to be my birthday hair! 😖 I will not be getting my hair done here again.
