    Before you book highlights in Bethesda

    Do

  • Bring two or three reference photos, including one of what you don't want.
  • Ask for a consultation before a large color change or a major cut.
  • Book ahead and note the cancellation window when you do.
  • Read the newest reviews, not only the average. They describe the team working there now.
  • Don't

  • Don't assume walk-ins are welcome; call or book first.
  • Don't hold back allergies, medications or skin sensitivities at check-in.
  • Don't choose on stars alone. A 4.7 from 900 reviews and a 5.0 from 12 reviews are different kinds of evidence.
  • Follow

  • Wait 48 to 72 hours before washing newly colored hair, and switch to a sulfate-free shampoo.
  • Tip 15 to 20 percent where tipping is customary, and check whether the business includes service charges.
  • Keep any written aftercare you are given and follow it for the full period.
