RAH Hair Studio in Laurel, MD

I have type 4 hair (I think 4a?) and have been natural for 9yrs. In this time, I've only straightened my hair once a year at most for a length check and/or to clip my ends. My hair is also very thick and long (about halfway down my back), so as you can imagine, I am very careful about who I go to for blowouts. I recently moved near Main St right before quarantine and after clipping my ends on my own, decided I needed to find a salon to go to when they opened back up LOL I found the studio via Google and Yelp and decided to take a leap of faith. My experience at the salon was amazing! Chantell was very professional and made me feel safe with her COVID precautions. She started on my hair right away and was kind and very gentle with my THICK hair. I've NEVER had such a pain-free experience in a salon EVER. She washed my hair with steam and carefully detangled my hair while conditioning and throughout the straightening process. I was very comfortable the entire experience and trusted her recommendations. The time flew by and even though she was able to fit in another customer while working with me, I never felt like I was pushed to the side like other stylists tend to do because of how much hair I have. I purchased a serum from her to help keep my strands in check, which worked perfectly and allowed me to wear my pressed style confidently for over 2wks and when I finally did wash it, my curls were the softest they have been after a blowout. I was truly impressed. Most stylists have suggested that I get my hair straightened and ends clipped more, but I have not trusted them enough to actually do so. However, after this wonderful experience, I will be seeing Chantell throughout the year for silk presses and steam treatments in between.

Love the atmosphere nice and laid back. The stylists are very professional as well as prompt. Not to mention I love my hair. And I will be returning.

Have been seeing Chantell for about three years now. She takes great care of my hair- color, relaxer, etc.- she does everything strategically to make sure the hair is not damaged or compromised.

Healthy Stylish Hair go here! I like going here because I will not be in the salon for a long time. She is considerate of her clients time. She makes the health of my hair a priority. But at the same time make it stylish and fabulous!!

I've been going to Chantell for 4 years, and her services are wonderful. She keeps the atmosphere relaxing and friendly. I really enjoy my experience at her salon. She has you in and out. Some salons have you there all day, but she can work through her clientele efficiently and thoroughly. Everyone walks out looking fly.
