Scalped Salon and Spa

I have always been very pleased with services here. I lean toward going there, however, because I know that part of what I’m paying for is the range of services they volunteer to people with major illnesses.

The stylists are all excellent and accommodating — Ami (
), in particular is a stand-​out pro. They have always been supremely professional, kind and on the ball.
My wife and I have been coming here since 2006 — and we’ve never had a bad experience.
Highly Recommended.

Visited Scalped for the first time. Joanna cut my hair and did a great job. My hair is curly and uncooperative; Joanna listened to my concerns, and did a great job working with my quirks. Very happy with my new haircut!
Couple of things about this place — folks are very friendly and helpful. When I made the appointment, indicating it was my first time, I was told to download a coupon for $ 20 off. I also left with a packet of coupons. Needless to say, I will be back!

There are several good stylists at this salon; however, I had a really horrible experience where my stylist literally yelled at me when she didn’t understand what I wanted for my hair. It was extremely unprofessional, and I ended up needing to pay to get my hair done again by someone else who knew how to do what I wanted. Overall, I would definitely not recommend this salon to anyone if they asked. Unprofessional employees and overpriced for the quality of service that you receive.

I got my hair cut by Adria yesterday. She took the time to sit down with me and was patient when I showed her pictures. I mentioned the haircut I wanted (Ginnifer Goodwin pixie cut) and she seemed to already know something about the cut. She was very bubbly and talkative.
I am very happy with my cut. She took her time and checked back in with me during the cut to make sure I was happy with what we were doing. She also told me that if I had any places that didn’t lay correctly, I could come back and get them fixed immediately. She was great.
So why didn’t I give it 5 stars? The salon is kind of overwhelming… the receptionist took me on a tour before my appointment and it was awkward. I’ve never been given a tour of a salon before. I think it was just a way to let me know how many other services they offer. I was also offered drinks by everyone who walked by, which was nice but excessive. I also got a ton of coupons, referral cards and a pamphlet of services when I left. That is really pushy to me. It all seemed a little pretentious and staged, but I will be back because Adria and the haircut were great.

Just went to Scalped Salon yesterday to get my hair done. I went there based on a referral from my sister who hasn’t been there in forever (she doesn’t really get her hair done but maybe once a year). I made an appt with Adria. I arrived ½ hr early because I wasn’t sure about traffic. While waiting they have a ton of hair products and little things to look at and when you’re ready to sit they have a kitchen table with super comfy chairs.
Adria came up to greet me and was so cheerful and warm. In most salons they sit you in front of the mirror to try and explain what you want. Adria sat with me right at the table to talk to me face to face. I told her I wanted to try to go back to my natural color. She went and got some swatches and matched my hair in the natural window sunlight (awesome bc the vanity lights always look off to me). The shampoo girl, Lauren was so sweet and did a really good massaging when shampooing! Adria was very talkative the whole time, it didn’t feel like awkward conversation at all which is such a relief. She took her time coloring my hair (which came out to be EXACTLY what I wanted) and the cut is amazing.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Scalped because of Adria and Lauren. Needless to say, I’ll definitely be coming back!

I have been searching for a good salon for awhile and decided to give this place a try. When I first walked in everyone was very professional and nice mannered, I was actually quite pleased to see good service skills for once. I have long black/​brown hair and decided I needed a pick me up, so decided to get highlights. I did not want blonde highlights, just nice brown caramel highlights. Well boy was I in for a surprise! After 3 hrs of being there, once seated back at the station, the towel was removed and I thought I was going to DIE.
My hair was so blonde that it had no pigment left, actually it was so bad it looked grey!!! Not only that the highlights were so uneven you could see splotches all over my hair! I have more highlights in the back of my head then I do upfront. I tried to hold it together and just bit by tongue and just asked her to blow dry it so I can leave. I ended up paying a lovely $ 186.00 for just a full head of highlights, no cut or anything! The price isn’t the issue, if i was to pay for a high end salon I expect alot! I did not even receive a nice head massage with my shampoo, it was just wash and out and done! so the next day after calming down a bit I called the stylist and told her the problem, she was kind about it and asked me to come back in so the repairs can be done. I understand stuff happens and everything is fixable, however when i came back the owner got involved this time, and this time i showed her a photo of what I was talking about what I wanted to begin with, well the owner definitely set the tone of my review of this place. She talked to me like I was an idiot, I felt so belittled by this women it was horrible! so to fix it what did they do? they pretty much just slapped a dark color over my hair, it looked like what i originally had when i first walked in! $ 186 dollars for what? no apology from the owner no refund no nothing!
all I can say is a month or so later now I am still upset and cannot believe this had happened. I will not be going back, nor would i recommend this place to anyone!

I recently moved to Calvert County and needed to find a new hair salon. Discovered Scalped Salon and Spa through Unilocal.Checked out their website and Facebook page, and discovered they do their own photo shoots and advertising. Thought that was neat so decided to give the place a try.
Amye-​Leigh was my stylist and I’m so glad I found her! She turned my drab hair into something great and made me feel beautiful.
I highly recommend Scalped Salon & Spa.

I’ve been going to Scalped since they were in Upper Marlboro (now in Prince Frederick) and I love them for the most past. Kathleen (hair) is great although difficult to get an appointment with. She (as do all of the stylists at Scalped) don’t just jump into cutting/​color but they spend time finding out what you are looking for before start. Kathleen also did my hair/​make-​up (well they did the whole wedding party) for my wedding last year and everything was great.
I also love Erin (facials and waxing) and Michelle (nails) they are both great and again take time to help you achieve the look/​result you want.
The salon itself is set-​up nicely, spacious and always clean. I’ve referred many people over the years without hesitation, a great salon in Calvert County.

I can’t say enough bout this place. I’m so excited about my new find. I’m have just moved to the area and I’ve been neglecting my hair because I’m really picky, and like funky and fresh places that don’t scream cheap cuts that all look like some chain.
The reception area and retail area is very nice and warm it makes you feel very welcome and they even offer beverages while you wait.
The spa and massage area are quiet and offer so many services and packages you could spend the entire day there and you won’t mind.
I followed the advise off the previous reviewers and went to Ami, she was awesome. She made very great suggestions and really helped make suggestions without making me look crazy. as I have listened to stylist in the past.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this salon to anyone.

Hip has found it’s way to Southern Maryland kids… and it looks like a blonde bombshell with pink bangs.
I followed the previous reviewer’s advice in search of a hipper look with less Southern Fried hair to Ami @ Scalped. I love my former stylist… but we were in a rut and I kept looking more and more like a soccer-​mom-​slipping-​out-​of-​milfdom than the punky hardass artist I am.
But Ami fixed all that. And in gorgeous surroundings. I told her what I wanted… and what I DIDN’T want and she gave me what I asked for. Actually, I wasn’t really sure she gave me what I asked for… until I worked with myself. Voila! Hair I can STYLE MYSELF!!! It really was low key. It really was punky. It’s perfect!
The salon itself is a great mix of circus, class, style, and self indulgence. I’m looking forward to the day when I win the lottery and can spend a day in the sumptuous spa that rivals anything created here in the District. Kristie, shampoo goddlette and counter lovely, gave me a tour and I knew this was a good choice. Ami… scissor wielder extraordinaire, is a fantastic conversationalist, talented photographer, and all round ball of fire… was just the person I was looking for.
Damn, I love my hair!

Note: Scalped has now relocated to Prince Frederick MD. New address info here:
I was the victim of a bad relationship. My old salon B*bb**s had canceled an appointment that I desperately needed because I was stuck in traffic — even after calling ahead of time and explaining that I was stuck in traffic and that I had a «hair emergency” – no dice. This after getting way too expensive colors and cuts that never held shape or color I was ready for a new salon.
From my memory came Scalped — a salon with a name and a logo that takes MOXIE to proudly sport. I had driven by the salon a few times and a few people had mentioned it. I decided to give it a try.
I called and explained my hair emergency. Chris the salon coordinator soothed me, commiserated with me and did everything she could to fit me in — in fact she found me a spot 30 minutes after I called!
I was booked with Ami. She looked like Gwen Stefani with white-​blonde 40’s pin-​up hair — bangs dyed hot pink. She had sparkle eyeshadow, punk rock miniskirt, a sequin belt and a warm charming personality. I had an immediate fashion crush! I was gone! She could have shaved my head and I would have loved it. But she didn’t — she took my fine, frizzy in the morning, limp in the evening, over-​processed hair and tamed it into a symphony of layers. She gave me a cut that lasted past the stylist’s chair, after the first wash and HECK up to 4 months later!!! (Which was important because at the time I was on a student’s budget so I needed my cuts to hold their shape for a few months.)
Since then – she’s kept my look fresh. I’ve gone from short layers to long, highlighted to natural and back again. With each cut and color Ami has done a superb job taking my styling habits into account and never giving me a cut I couldn’t handle – all the while – looking quite stylish herself. Being someone I could look to for style inspiration and bravery to push my style envelope! (Sorry but there is NOTHING worse than going to a stylist with a bad cut or an outdated look — I want inspiration when I walk into a salon!)
But aside from great cuts — I NEVER had that «hapless fashion victim at a make-​up counter being over-​sold cosmetics I don’t need» feeling from this salon. I got a gift bag on my first visit full of hair goodies to try… but since then I’ve not been goaded into buying unnecessary products. I’ve never been made to feel as if I was an ugly duckling no matter what condition I was in when I walked into the salon – and usually I walk in looking as ugly as a potato pulled fresh from the dirt!
When my husband decided to cut his super-​long hair and go for super short business man chic – after years of no salon exposure they soothed his nerves and eased his transition. He now swears by Margaret, the salon owner, to cut his hair.
Aside from our cut experience with Margaret and Ami — each and every stylist at Scalped is friendly and personable. I’ve yet to see someone walk out with a bad cut.
With:
* new posh and creatively stylish yet comfortable digs,
*the prettiest salon restroom in all of Maryland,
*wine and refreshments offered and
*lots of pretty girl accessories to look at while my foils are in
going to Scalped makes me feel pampered without hating myself in the morning.
Love this Salon! Love my Stylist!
