Cristina O Dominican Salon & Nails Spa

This is the best place ever!!! It’s like being in the Dominican salons in Jersey! Francis is my stylist and is very big on hair care! Sandra gives the best pedicures in Laurel! They are never closed and even open on Sunday! I never wait a long time and I get a pedicure and a wash and set at the same time! Truly amazing, you’ve gotta try it!

Initially hard to find as it is tricky using your GPS to locate the shop. It is actually on the back of a series of businesses next door to a dental office.
This was my first visit and came about because the other Dominican shop I frequented didn’t feel like coming in and I needed my hair washed. I called and talked to the employee and got directions. Quoted one price on the phone and was informed about the free deep conditioner for new customers. I’m like Aiight cool, this gonna work out. Well, my hair was washed, deep conditioned, rolled and blown straight with no issues. I go to pay and I’m told because my hair is longer (no it’s not, I did the big chop so it’s now chin length) that I’ll have to pay more. So I’m standing there like WTF. Why do you think I should just fork over money when you’ve had well over two hours to express this to me.
They have snacks and water for customers but I wasn’t offered either.
The owner and the lady who did my blow out were nice enough but I’m at capacity for Dominican salons trying pencil whip me with the bait and switch games.
This shop is spacious and was maintained. I just need you to honor the prices you post and recite. Appreciate the free deep conditioner but um… bye Christina.

I usually have a good time here and I won’t let one rude person stop me from coming, but idk who this new lady is. .but nah I highly doubt she’ll do my hair again. She’s not very personal and she let my hair dryer stop, and didn’t acknowledge me… yeah Def not letting her do my hair, I didn’t get her name but she’s not bibi or cristina. along with everything else it was fine

The salon did a great job. Hair lasted three weeks

As i walked in, they told me to hang my coat and take a seat to be called for shampooing. I didn’t wait long for the owner to come over and introduce herself and offer to begin my shampoo. She did my first wash then another young girl came and finished up the shampoo and conditioning. The experience was pretty good. I was taken to a chair where another stylist (Bella) set my hair and put me under the dryers. The dryer experience was a bit more than I could take the dryer was set too high. She lowered the dryer after my complaint but she was not really happy about it. Which is why I give a 4* instead of 5. The costumer couldn’t take that much heat so I think she should have understood. The blow dry and flat iron was great and I loved how my hair looked after she completed my style. I had her to pin curl it since it was late and I knew I was going home to end my evening before bed.

Love this place. They are always prompt and I have never left disappointed. After moving down here I have tried three other local salons before finding this place. They leave your hair silky, straight and shiny. I would not go anywhere else.

My daughter and I came in on a Sunday and were seen right away. We were greeted promptly and taken to the shampoo area to get our hair thoroughly washed and deep conditioned. My daughter and I are totally natural so the level of care that was taken with our hair was remarkable. They even offer snacks and water for guests which is a really nice touch. We will definitely be returning to this gem in Laurel.

I’m new to the area and this was my first time at a Dominican salon. Biby was great! I know my hair is SUPER dry but she really made it look and feel great. She washed me 3 times and deep conditioned my hair with heat. I have no idea how they work their magic, but I walked out with smooth, silky hair. I went on a Monday and had a wash, set, and blow out. It was only $ 35!!! I have definitely found my hair home! Thank you so much!

Ok, I’ve been frequenting this salon for a couple months now and I’m pretty sure I have found my permanent ‘mane’ home. The salon itself is clean and set up pretty well. There’s space in the back for ladies to get a manicure and pedicure. Outside is an abundance of parking since it’s near a bunch of medical offices.
Cristina (the stylist, although Cristina O the owner is pretty cool too!) is amazing! She’s been doing my hair for a few years and my hair is always bouncing, flowing and swanging whenever I leave her chair. Not to mention she pays careful attention to the health of your hair and is very good at recommending treatments to improve your hair.
As a natural, I have a healthy fear of flat irons (I have fried my curls straight more than a couple times lol) so I prefer the old school rolos n blow dry routine. Cristina is a master at this. I appreciate the time she takes to painstakingly blow dry and pin curl my hair –it’s definitely time consuming! But she does it with a smile and I always leave the salon feeling great.
Go check them out ladies!

I retired the creamy crack and have been #TeamNatural for the last two years and normally wear my hair in protective styles (braids, weaves, wigs). Every now and then I do wear my natural hair out, so I go to a Dominican Salon. Cristina O Dominican Salon is conveniently located next to the Laurel Lakes shopping center. The layout of the salon is really nice. I got a wash and set with a deep conditioner. Cristina is really great stylist. She wasn’t intimidated by my natural roots and didn’t try to convince me to relax my hair like some other stylists that I’ve dealt with. They work with all different hair types which I love. When I left my hair was full with a lot of body, just the way I like it. I would definitely suggest this salon and Cristina if you’re looking for a quality wash and set in the DC Metro Area.
