I went to Danielle once in the beginning of July 2024, she did my hair just fine I was happy with it. I went to her again in mid-November 2024 as I was planning my first ever vacation & wanted to ensure my hair had 2 weeks to grow out before leaving for Hawaii so my hair would not be too fresh & choppy (how it goes of course).
She absolutely botched my bangs in November, and while I did get upset with a few tears falling down, I kept myself best composed while talking to her letting her know I was simply unhappy with the bangs as they were lopsided & choppy, and as that I had previously explained to her- a very important haircut. I even reassured her that I was not upset with her for the mishap, but that I was upset about the situation & pressure of the trip.
I apologized multiple times for being upset (I shouldn’t have) & she did not apologize once for messing up my hair, just saying she would try to fix it. Eventually she said we should wait the two weeks & fix them the day before I left & did not charge me for the service (the least she could have done, the curtain bangs were horrible). I still tipped $20 or $25 for her time & later went back to have my bangs fixed- tipped her $15 on a $10 service for the adjustment.
Nonetheless I continuously recommended both Danielle & the salon to many people at work, social events, out in the city, etc.
I have still stopped by the salon to buy products (I’ve spent about $1500 at this salon) & they have welcomed me each time so they at least get sales.
When asking for Daniel’s availability (in the middle of 2025 summer) so I would be able to get another haircut, I was told she was booked out 4 months in advance. I was kind of shocked but nonetheless happily got on the waitlist then. I called again just a week or so ago & was told she was still booked 3 months out.
I go on their website for the first time & she had SEVERAL appointments available within the next three weeks. Booked the appointment and paid it. A week and some change go by and I just today received a call (7 days before the appointment I’ve been long awaiting) saying my deposit has been refunded as “Danielle does not feel comfortable being my stylist & no one else is a good fit in the salon for me.”
… I’m sorry ?? What the hell is that about?. She botched my service, I momentarily cried but apologized that it was my anxiety, still tipped her very well, and I was overly kind and very understanding of her complete mishandling of my hair.
The stylist & receptionist put me off and lied to me about availability for almost 5 months but happily took my money for hair / other beauty products.
I would have been more understanding had she, or any one, said something when I came in for the bang adjustment rather than dodging someone who was being a happily patient client for 9 months.
From this experience Danielle is unprofessional, doesn’t understand how to be an adult with communication when there is an issue, or accountability for how someone IS allowed to be upset when she messes up.
As I like the owner & a shampoo they sell- hopefully I won’t be banned from the store for expressing my opinion because shunning people seems to be their thing. Disappointing.

Kimberley is great! I was paying way too much for a less than average service. Kimberley explained that I didn’t need a toner as she got the colour perfectly balanced.
Great service and affordable (especially for the amount of hair I have and the time I’m in the chair).

Kimberly A is phenomenal! I always enjoy my appointments, and leave looking and feeling great. She is very kind, does a beautiful job, and always asks questions to make sure we’re on the same page about my hair goals. She’s also been great at recommending the right products for my hair type.
Overall, this salon has been a lovely experience every time so far :)

Kimberly is the only person I trust to touch my hair!!! I have been working with her for over a year now and every single time I leave absolutely satisfied and confident. As someone with curly and frizzier hair it can be scary to find someone that can work with my hair type and she again blows me away. Between communicating each step of the way and answering any questions I have— I feel total trust. I go in with a vague description of what I want and Kimberly delivers the best color and cut imaginable. I cannot recommend her enough and I feel so pleased to have found someone I can fully trust to do my hair.

I highly recommend Bowie salon and specifically Kimberly!! She is so fun and friendly and I always have a great time talking books and shows with her. She completely transformed my hair in time for my wedding after a botched dye job from a different salon. She is thorough and very talented, and communicates very well about your hair goals. Book an appointment with her!!

This is my second cut and style with Kimberly & I’ll definitely be back!
I’ve got really thin flat hair and the cut she gave me is so fun and bouncy! She’s great to chat with and made me feel really comfortable

After getting an unsatisfactory hair color at another salon, i decided to go to Bowie to get my hair trimmed and curtain bangs done. I'd been growing out my bangs for 4 months. The lady that was doing my hair, i had great conversation with. I showed her my reference photos and explained that I put my hair up for work and would like cute curtain bangs. My hair is in layers and has a V shape at the ends of my hair, she says she'll cut like 1.5 inch from the bottom which I agree to.
When we finished i liked the way it looked at the salon but when I went home to play around and take a closer look at my hair, I was quite disappointed because my face framing was uneven, not as seamless as I'd hoped and harder to work with than before I went in for the cut. Also the bottom of my hair was now a blunt cut and uneven. When I put my hair up you can see how blocky it is now.
If I was to fix my bangs and the bottom of my hair, I'd lose the length that I love and have short curtain bangs which i do not want.
The price i paid for this trim and bangs cut, is not worth the outcome I was stuck with.

Though the work done was okay, the technique to bleach my hair was not desirable. I admit that I picked the wrong color, but the way they bleached my hair - not from the roots but half way - didn’t make the color even from the roots up. I initially booked for the main stylist, and I should’ve pushed for it even if it cost double. But it really seemed she had plans that day and was really trying her best to push for another. I learned my lesson to not settle for an alternative. That said, ended up re-coloring my hair at a salon close to theirs. (In addition, they also missed the hairline.)

They were able to get me in that day! I very stupidly decided to do my own hair at home and Kimberly A was able to fix what I had done and do exactly what I was aiming to do in the first place. Everyone was very nice and helpful as well!! Highly recommend this place and Kimberly A!
