Probably the worst hair cut experience I have ever had. I usually go to an upscale Hair Salon in DC, but I decided to try for a more reasonable haircut this time around. I noticed Oasis when I was driving down Rockville Pike, and decided to take a look. I have very curly hair, and they have a sign in the window that says "Calling all Curly Girls." Supposedly they have a special way of "cutting" curly hair that was more representative of a trim and thinning of my hair. First, they convinced me that cutting curly hair dry was better for the cut. I believed them, but I have never heard anything like that in my entire life! She had me tilting my head forwards, from side to side, and then completely flipping my head over so she could cut it upside down. I felt like a barbie doll in the hands of a 3 year old. When I walked in at 1:00, I told her I had to be out by 2:30, which I thought was plenty of time for a cut. After all the flipping she had me do which almost broke my neck, she set me in the sink and started washing my hair. She then told me that it was really dry and tried to push a "Damage Control" treatment on me. I reminded her that as long as I was out by 2:30, she could do whatever she wanted. I ended up sitting in the sink for 45 minutes while she took another customer. By that time it was 2:20 and she hadnt even began to cut or style my hair. I said that I had to leave and she told me to come back tomorrow. No way. Save yourself a nightmare. Never go to Oasis.

I base my review off of service. I booked an appointment with the stylist Kelly in January for the morning of February. After great anticipation and waiting The Saturday of my appointment finally arrives. My appointment is at 9:45 am so to prepare my thick curly hair (wash/ comb/ condition and dry) I get up at 6:30am to allow diffusing and air drying time. All is done and Im ready to go to my appointment. At 9:02am I get a call from the salon saying that Kelly is not going to be in today!!! I am pissed! How do you cancel an appointment not only the day of but minutes before? Im even more upset that the salon has the nerve to say clients must cancel 24hrs in advance or will be charged! This is ridiculous. And then the receptionist (who was nice I will not take that away from her) went on to say that if I wanted to be rebooked with Kelly It may be very far out as if I didnt already have to wait far out for this first appointment. I have never been here and was excited for my first appointment. I am so upset. This is ridiculous. Wasted my Saturday morning in which I could have slept in to nurse this cold.

I got my hair cut and partially highlighted by Kelly. She was amazing, skilled, and so down to earth. I had about 8 inches cut from my hair and Im so happy it was with Kelly; cutting that much hair can be stressful! She made sure I wanted to cut my hair that short, which I thought was cool she made sure it wasnt an impulse decision and possibly something I would regret later. I went in to work and EVERYONE loved my hair. I didnt expect so many compliments. The compliments ranged from "I love the way it frames your face" to "that color looks so nice". Kelly really knew how to cut my hair so that it would fit me. Im going to keep my hair short now and I truly believe a huge part of that decision is because of how well she cut my hair. Also, I had her pick out the highlights, I just gave her an idea and those came out great. I would highly recommend her to curly girlies! Shes a great person and stylist.

Ive had my hair highlighted by so many different people over the past 5 years, and I can confidentially say that Celeste is the BEST. I stumbled across Oasis after researching hair salons that specialize in curly hair, and decided to try it out. Even after I moved to Arlington, I still metro back out to Rockville just to get my hair done! Everyone on staff is really friendly, and the salon itself is very clean and decorated nicely. Celeste hand paints the highlights on my curls, and always knows exactly how long to leave me under the dryer. Ive had some hairdressers leave me under for too long, which makes the highlights too blonde. Id recommend Celeste to anyone who is looking to get expertly painted highlights on their curly hair.

If you have curly hair, there is no place to go but Oasis. I tried several salons, and many places dont know how to cut curly. The stylists at Oasis are DevaCurl trained. As a guy, I often feel uncomfortable in the salon setting, but the folks at Oasis are welcoming and down-to-earth. They are knowledgeable, but dont look down their noses at the client. They pamper you in a friendly, fun way. My stylist, Yolanda, was wonderful. She spent a lot of time listening to my concerns, and teaching me techniques to deal with my hair. Make sure to block a decent amount of time. It would not be ideal for a quick cut on your lunch break, but I really felt the time spent was worth it. (Sure it will shorten with subsequent visits.)

I took my 11 year old daughter in for her first curly cut/tutorial with Celeste and it couldnt have been better. The salon is warm and inviting (with her name on a welcome board as we walked in!) and everyone made us feel like long-time clients. Celeste listened to what my daughter wanted and explained everything she was doing (how to shampoo and condition properly, how to "squish" gel into the curls, etc.). My daughter looked like a different girl when we left - gorgeous curls, head held high, and told me, "Mom, that is the BEST salon ever. I need to tell my friends at school about it because they have curly hair too!" Huge thumbs-up from both mom & daughter...well definitely be back!

I had my first appointment just a few months ago and was so pleased. This was my first curly girl hair cut, and for the first time in my life, I left the salon excited about my curly hair. I looked like a movie star. The best part is that they walked me through the process so I can recreate the look at home. I get so many compliments on my curly hair now, and it looks healthy. Its definitely worth the extra money to go to a salon that understands curly hair and how to treat it. Also, they were so friendly and kind, the salon was clean, and the atmosphere was nice. Ive already booked my next appointment.

Ive been going to this salon for over 10 years. Ive never been disappointed. Everyone is very well trained. They are experts at doing curly hair, but Ive got stick straight fine hair and they do a fantastic job with it too. They stay up to date in all cutting edge hair and color techniques. You can get an appointment with anyone there and you will be happy. Ive had my hair done by all of them at one point or another and like I said, I always walk out happy
