For the love of god do not call these folks in a time of need. They will Jack up the price and leave you waiting for hours. Never showed up for me and threatened me with a 50-100% cancellation fee.

I really love this place! I have come here several times and I enjoy the conversations I have with Clare, the cut I get, and the great products they use. They are a Davines salon, which I researched a lot after my first visit. It's a natural brand from Italy, and the results are as good as more mainstream brands. The first visit we did a chop to make sure all my hair was healthy, and this time I got the most amazing layers. I haven't gotten any treatments yet, but my cuts are around $60, which is some of the most affordable in the area. Also this place is sooo cute inside (this is obviously not as important as the cut, but seriously cute). I also really enjoy the height of the shampoo areas, no neck cramping during a rinse! So if you are interested in good conversation, a good hairstyle, and natural products, I would highly recommend!

Today was my first visit to Sweet Hairafter. It was a great experience! Alexi was my stylist. I really appreciated the questions he asked me about my hair, his attention to detail, and general hair know how. He also took the time to explain different color processes and techniques. I loved the color and the cut so I will be back!

I took my daughter to see Alexi and he did an amazing job with her hair. He colored her hair red faded to pink. We also took advantage of the Brazilian Blowout special they were running. She has a lot of hair so it took a long time and he was very patient through all of it. It is absolutely beautiful and my daughter loves it! I can't say enough wonderful things about this place and Alexi. He went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell he really loved his job. If you are looking for a new salon, this is it.

I recently had a haircut with Alexi and I think I found my new stylist! He seemed really knowledgeable about his craft and had great suggestions for what would suit my face/hair type when I walked in with only a vague idea of what I wanted. He seemed to use some pretty innovative techniques, which he was happy to explain why when I asked, and I loved the end result! He also went out of his way to give me some great styling tips using tools and stuff that I already owned, so I feel like every day this haircut is able to live up to its full potential. The salon was very cute, nice ambience, and finding parking was easy!

Alexi did a great job cutting my husband's hair a few weeks ago! We were feeling uncomfortable about getting a haircut inside at any barber shop or salon. Alexi came over to our house (no additional travel fee) and cut his hair outside on our patio. First haircut in 4 months. Alexi wore a mask (so did my husband), did a temperature check first, and gave him a much-needed haircut in the open air! Appointments were easy, he was communicative, and payment was through the salon's system on his phone (everyone hand-sanitized afterwards). Highly recommend, really nice service in these times.

What a fabulous experience! Today I got a much needed haircut after months of quarantine. Scheduling online was easy breezy. I saw Angelina today and was so happy with her exceptional skills! I told her what I wanted and boy did she deliver. I told her I wanted a healthy trim with about 2 inches cut off. She suggested a few things and I appreciated her professional insights. She delivered exactly what I wanted. The salon is beautiful, light and airy. I appreciated all the precautions and sanitation they are implementing in light of Covid. Everyone had a mask on inside and they provided them if you don't have one. The location is right in the heart of Kensington with ample street parking. I would highly recommend this place and Angelina. She's awesome!

I just had my second appointment with Kylie and I can't say enough about how talented she is. The first time I visited she did color, highlights and cut. I have never gotten so many compliments in my life! Then, I came back six weeks later and like some kind of magical hair wizard she was able to simply touch up my roots, add a quick glaze and cut off a few split ends in the front and it looks incredible again. The highlights look as good as the first time she did them! Angelina also did a fabulous job cutting my little girl's hair and made the whole experience so fun for her. I highly recommend this salon!

If I take the time to write an online review, it is because it's 5 stars ... I had the honor of booking Alexi for my daughters first hair cut - the cut is impeccable, I helicoptered like paparazzi & he stayed engaged with my girl... we gave her a ring pop when she was done & she handed it immediately to Alexi :) wow ... says a LOT I sort of picked his brain ... I am a low maintenance lady, with my Pinterest tricks to get rid of split ends, I mentioned I wasn't a "salon" girl - he smiled & taught me how to properly brush my hair !!! WHICH WAS EVERYTHING ... he truly listened & heard me - I did what he said with the brush & weirdly I feel fancy this morning - to find a stylist who is special, works well with kids & doesn't push all the junk pretentious salon BS on you is rare ... unicorn rare

This is my second time visiting this salon. I have never found "my salon" before. Always bounced around. But finally I have found my place!! The vibe, staff and mission of the salon is perfect and beautiful. Very aligned with the type of place I want to support. Kylie, the owner, is so helpful and does everything she can to give you the hair you want. And alexi (my hair stylist) is the most ideal. I go for a colour. Each time I have visited, I have brought pictures of the exact colour I want. And both times, the colour ended up matching perfectly! Alexi (my hair stylist) worked for so long on my colour the first time! It did not come out as I had hoped when he first coloured it so he spent another 2 hours with me to make sure it was right. Then on the second visit, a similar thing happened (I like a specific colour of red, and red is SO hard to get exactly right). Both times, Alexi worked out his schedule to either have me stay longer or come in the next day to make sure the colour was what I had hoped. To be honest, both visits, the colour it turned out initially was beautiful! But just not what I had in mind. So it was so incredible of Alexi to still work with me to get it aligned with my particular vision. I have had this happen with other salons before who just basically say "oh well" when it doesn't turn out like the picture. Or they charge an incredible extra amount to fix it. But Sweet Hairafter did not :) Alexi is officially my hair stylist. So grateful to have found him. From his attitude to his execution, couldn't ask for more.

First time at the salon. First impression: super cute, relaxing ambience/music and convenient location. I was a bit nervous because I honestly wasn't too sure about what to do with my hair, I sometimes feel a bit self conscious especially when a hairstylist gives me professional "advise" on what to do with my hair. I appreciated Jules approach, she was receptive to my ideas, gave me honest advice and was gentle with my hair. I am planning on visiting again for some color. Very excited!!

I started going here a couple a weeks ago because my amazing stylist moved to Columbia, MD and with a newborn I wanted to find something closer to home. Sweet Hairafter is an amazing salon. Both of the owners really put pride into the place and follow sustainable practices which I really appreciate. I've been seeing Maxine who has done some blow outs and styled my hair beautifully. She is so kind, and I love relaxing while she does my hair. I highly recommend if you are in the Kensington area!

Alexi is very good at working with you to give you what you want. Definitely someone I would refer all my friends to! And he's fun to chat with, too! I moved here from Wisconsin and have had the same stylist for 10 years. It was scary finding someone new. I am so glad I found Sweet Hairafter and Alexi! Bonus-the salon is very chill, everyone will feel super comfortable and welcomed!
