Belleza Hair & Nail Studio

Today me and my dollface friend Laura went here to get a full set and manicure. We had a private room and were offered refreshments. The ladies doing our nails seem nice. When I first arrived I noticed they had a display window that was colorful and festive. They also have a small parking area. The layout of the salon is nice. And chandeliers are everywhere, I loved it ! The have seating in front if you have to wait. We did not wait because we had an appointment. Overall it was a great experience.

Each and every time that I’ve been here it has been a positive experience. The cuts are always to perfection!!! The cost may… and I emphasize «may» be a tad more expensive than others in the area, but the way that I see it, you get what you pay for :)

I have been going to Danielle for 5 years now. I have been very satisfied every single time and take my daughters there too. The entire staff is very welcoming and super polite and professional. I did notice one reviewer posted a pretty negative comment about the salon and receptionist. I found this to be very out of character for the salon. Then it all made sense, she did not have hardly any positive reviews for any place.

I called to schedule based the good Unilocal reviews. The front desk was pleasant enough. I jotted down the time for Wed last week. I get a call on Tue for what I thought was to confirm my appt, but instead was a where are you your appt is today
appointment was rescheduled for Wed at 7. Fast forward to Wed and around 620 or so I go let the dogs out go to the door to put them in and get ready to leave and the door is locked. Super!Locked out of my house. I quickly called the salon and let them know that a key was on the way and I would most likely be on time but might be 10 or so minutes late but if they would like to reschedule we could. She opted to reschedule for Sat given that I might be late which was ironic since she was about 20 minutes late for that appt.
Sat I showed up for my 330 appt around 315. I checked in and did not receive the same warm welcome that others pointed out in reviews. I wasn’t offered water or anything while I waited, not a huge deal but was not something that was extended to me. I patiently waited in the lobby, 330 comes by still not ready, 340 comes by still not ready around 345 one of the girls at the front desk comes by and asks if I am waiting on Sarah, which I confirm, she states she will check on her and goes to do
no point is there an «I’m sorry for the wait» or «Would you like something while you wait?» from the receptionist. After the receptionist went to check on Sarah she didn’t let me know how much longer it would be. Around 350 Sarah came up to get me and was apologetic for the wait letting me know it was a crazy day with bridal parties. Not a huge deal.
The haircut itself, wash, cut, style was pretty standard. A short consultation followed by a wash, cut, blow dry, then some retouching of the cut while it was
the end Sarah asked me how I liked the cut, I let her know it was nice but I wasn’t really sure I liked the front. She touched it up a bit, but I still wasn’t too sure I liked it. Realizing you can always cut more off but can’t put it back once it’s gone I asked Sarah if it would be okay for me to go home and see how I feel given a chance to live with it and wash/​style my own. She seemed fine but her response was slightly off it didn’t seem like the main concern was my satisfaction with the cut when she let me know that’s fine but you need to come back within a week. Nothing to the point of we can do that, we want you to be happy with the cut, etc. but would need to know within a week if you wanted it fixed. There was a way to work in that information while still keeping the customer in mind.
So today I called back this afternoon and spoke a very polite receptionist, I believe named Abby, explained the situation and she let me know available dates to come in for a retouch. I asked to check a day/​time and call her back. Upon calling back a shift change must have occurred as I got a different (and not as polite) receptionist. I explained I had just called and spoke to Abby yada yada. The receptionist informed me that there is not time for a cut and style and she doesn’t know why someone would have told me that. Okay… I attempted to explain this was touch up not a new cut. I was put on hold she came back saying that she has 30 mins that day/​time slot hat should be enough time. I tried to explain to cut down on confusion that this was for a touch up I was in Saturday for a cut. Before I could open my mouth to get the third word out the receptionist quickly and quite rudely cut me off and told me «I know, I know».I was taken aback by that, I have been in some facet of customer service based work for a long time and would never speak to a customer/​client that way. I decided right then that I would rather go somewhere else and pay someone else to fix that then deal with subpar customer service that quite frankly was rude. I let the her know I didn’t need the time slot and would go somewhere else.
Shortly after starting this I received a call back from Ryan, the receptionist I had spoken to, calling to apologize if I had thought they weren’t trying to find available times for me. I thanked her for calling but et her know I was not upset by the lack of appts. I understand theres only so much time in the day and that I am not making it easy with my limited schedule. I did let her know what I was upset with was how she chose to handle the call. When she decided it was okay to cut me off abruptly. I told her I would never choose to speak to a customer that way. She very quickly snapped back with a tone (negating her ‘I’m not rude argument…”) that she wasn’t but that at times on the phone when two people are talking you need to cut someone off… interesting since I was the only one talking when she cut me off I guess I missed that portion of customer service training. Deciding the call was going nowhere I thanked her for calling and said bye. Based largely on my dealings with Ryan but also the salon as a whole I wouldn’t go back nor recommend this salon to anyone.

Have cut/​color every three weeks… never disappointed. The staff are what make the experience great! Always fun and friendly atmosphere. Very flexible and accommodating.

I visited Belleza for a cut and color this past Saturday. Danielle is a super star! This is the best haircut I’ve ever had in my life and the color is perfect too. She put an amazing amount of effort into taking my dyed brown hair blonde and it’s awesome. The cut is perfect for my face and I gave her the minimal guidance since I have a history of crappy haircuts. I seriously have lost years with this cut! Danielle gets 10 out of 5 stars! The salon itself is fairly nice. Some things could have been a bit more on point — I know they had coffee and water for customers but no one ever bothered to ask if I needed either, small mar in the experience. A bigger problem is that they do not allow you to put your tip on your credit card so I had to walk down to the bank and back to tip my excellent stylist. I really think it’s crazy in this day and age to say no tips on the credit card and if that is the policy they should let you know before you come. Anyway back to the most important point — Danielle is a genius and will have my business from here on out!

Love this salon! Olivia is a color expert. She has been doing my hair for years and I couldn’t be more satisfied with her amazing results every time! If you are looking for someone who truly listens to your color and cut needs and does everything to carry those out– Olivia is the BEST! The salon itself is beautiful and clean. The staff are all very warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!

I found this place from other Unilocal reviews and am happy I did! Long overdue for a haircut, i was fed up and needed my haircut like now! I called in the morning for an appt late afternoon and thankfully they had availability. I made an appt for a cut for my daughter and myself. The atmosphere is chic and the staff is friendly. I had a great hair wash (the best part) and cut by Melony and she did a great job on my daughters hair too. It’s not overpriced, but it’s not cheap either. The only thing that would have made it 5 stars is if we had been offered coffee tea or water to complete the experience. Regardless, we will be back because ultimately it’s about a great haircut!

I am new to the Frederick area having just moved here in April. Let me start by saying I am super picky about who cuts my hair, styles it and even touches it. With that said I was nervous to have to find a new place. After reading the reviews on this salon I was convinced that I could trust this place and boy was I right.
I went back in the begining of July and walking in you see how clean and polished it is. I was greeted with a smile. They ran on time and the place is cute. Lauren cut my hair and was really sweet. I got a simple cut with side bangs and layers but got 6 inches cut off. It was so cute and felt so much lighter.
I often get my nails done and because of how great they were with my hair I would be willing to try them. I also would definitely go here to get my hair styled. I can tell there is a lot of creativity.
Another really cool thing. instead of tons of emails and annoying «visit us soon» postcards I got a hand writting thank you note from Lauren thanking me for choosing them and inviting me back any time. I will be back and I will ask for Lauren!

Danielle gave me a great cut and my two boys surfer-​dude cuts. The cuts were perfect. Danielle is so nice, and they offered me wine. Whaa? haha! Maybe if I were walking home. It’s half the price of our cuts in Bethesda. So maybe I can take a limo next time. ;-) JK

I must say I really like this place. But it’s a little pricey. I get my hair cut by Melanie. & she’s great. I have a pixie cut and she was also the one that chopped my hair off ! Lol. She charged me $ 40 when I cut my long hair. But when coming back for a trim. I still paid $ 40 again … So I was confused on how a trim and a hair cut would cost the same? Oh well. & I just recently got my hair colored. By Judith. I got partial highlights and she used a toner. She did a great job. But for the little hair that I do have now & not getting full highlights? I paid $ 129. Yeah … Very pricey. I love this place but I don’t know how much I love the prices.

Let me start by saying that I had a long and stressful day. Plus, I was suppose to have a date the following night and my split ends were out of control and made me look as dull as they come!
My girlfriend said — not to worry I know where to send you! And scheduled me an appointment at Belleza.
It’s in downtown Frederick, directly across the main Post office location and this hair salon has a parking lot, which is a pain around that area! Plus as soon as I walked in I was greater and offered a drink… I guess I looked so stressed and so bad that when I initially refused, the front desk boy said «are you sure? We have wine… red, white or pink». I mean, who can say no to that? With a glass of red I proceeded to my stylist Daniell Eaves. A very nice girl that tried to save my horribly split ends and the icky remains of the layers I once had put in… She did a very good job! I was pleased, relaxed after a glass of wine and even got brave enough to cut more than I would typically cut off my length and got a deep conditioning treatment. Overall — I was very pleased!
One NOTE though, these guys don’t let you leave tips on credit cards (I had no cash on me, but super glad that I had a checkbook in my purse).
Another NOTE, if you are a new client, print out a $ 5 off coupon off their website. It’s quite helpful and can go towards an extra tip for a great service ;)
I’d definitely consider going back there.

I was here for an updo with a bridal party and really enjoyed my experience! I had Lauren who was super nice and was great with the challenges of my hair (it doesn’t hold curl very well and never stays in place!). The finished product was adorable and it stayed for the wedding and the reception and still looked great when I got home which is absolutely amazing! The other bridesmaids and the bride all had different stylists and everyone had a positive experience. Definitely coming back here for more services in the future!

I just showed my stylist a photo of the hairstyle that I like and she delivered exactly what I wanted! Beautiful salon and friendly staff. Make sure you bring cash for tip.

This is, by far, the best place I’ve ever been for nails. I didn’t get my hair done while here, but I did see an entire wedding party get theirs done — and it was freaking amazing!
Anyway, I went here with my sister and stepmother before my bachelorette party to get a manicure and my very first ever pedicure. Because of my experience here, I am now in love with pedicures… what took me so long?!
The ladies who did our nails were so nice and professional. They did not at ALL make me feel uncomfortable being new and not really knowing what I was doing. My stepsister and stepmom had complimentary glasses of wine while they were getting their pedicures done. Really just… fantastic service and amazing job on my nails.
My gellish manicure lasted for over 2 weeks — I got it a full week before my wedding, and it was still perfect for my wedding!
My pedicure lasted for months! Oh, and when I left the salon and accidentally bonked my toe on a brick, scraping up my pedicure, I was able to walk back into the salon and they fixed it right up for me no questions asked :)
I can’t wait to go back!

Belleza is not necessarily expensive but it’s pricier than I expected in Frederick since I paid $ 147 for partial highlights and a haircut. Eh, maybe I’m just being cheap because I wouldn’t bat an eye for the same services in Bethesda or DC.
Having never been there, when I called for an appointment I asked the receptionist to recommend someone and he booked me with Melissa. She was nice and didn’t mind that I arrived 10 minutes late after getting a little lost. She listened to my ideas and looked at the picture I brought and made the suggestion of partial highlights so it didn’t seem like she was trying to tack on extra services. She was quiet while she worked on me but I kind of liked that because I was still half asleep at 9 a.m. on a Saturday.
The coppery highlights look nice and I’ve gotten compliments (okay a compliment) and the cut looks good and even as well. I also liked the blowout and flat ironing job Melissa did. Best of all, I was out the door in less than 90 minutes!
I’d have to return to decide if I love the salon or merely like it but I recommend trying it out.

I went to Belleza again on Saturday for my second time and was more in love with it this visit than before!
Luis runs the front desk and has impeccable customer service. The salon not only calls to remind you of your appointment, but also emails. I love it! They are also able to tell me who I saw my last visit, what I had done, what products I bought, and how much it cost.
I saw Daniell this visit and I loved her! She was knowledgeable and I enjoyed talking to her. I am not very hair savvy and she gave me great tips that have been easy to implement. She sold me products and I was incredibly surprised to find out how affordable the items were!
The atmosphere in the salon is very relaxed and the staff all help each other. Everyone is friendly and approachable rather than stuffy like some other salons in the area. The salon was very clean. I saw several stylists sweeping and several others change the barbicide at their station. (Usually I notice how dirty a jar is and the hair clogging the inside, but none of that here!)
I have recommended this salon to several friends and family members. I will certainly be returning!

*3.5 stars*
Not having been too thrilled with my last Belleza experience, but willing to give them another try by seeing another stylist, I made an appointment with Sarah.
At 9am on a Saturday the salon was quite empty, which was both kind of nice and strange. All of the stylists who did not have clients gathered at the front of the salon and gossiped — not all of it particularly nice gossip.
I liked Sarah. It will be a few more days before I can say whether I am pleased with the cut or not. I will say that Belleza doesn’t seem to get into the pampering aspect much — my shampoo was very sudsy and thorough, but did not include any kind of massage. I did appreciate that Sarah did a nice job on styling my hair — she whipped out the straight iron to finish the job. At $ 45, her price point is less expensive than most in MoCo, and when I need to run other errands in this area, I’ll consider seeing her again.

I’ve finally gotten around to writing a review for Belleza after having been here three times. (Obviously, I like it here; given the 5* rating)
I’m in the beauty industry, so I expect top notch everything, be it; customer service, sanitation, quality of products and/​or quality of work.
Impressed by the system they use to track which stylist each client has had work done with because I have the memory of a gold fish. Very pleased with the cleanliness and organization of the salon as sanitation plays a HUGE role in ratings. Receptionist is super friendly, I’ve had my hair cut by a different stylist each time & I have yet to be unsatisfied.
Ample customer parking on side of building *thumbs up

I lived right behind this place for about 5 years before I actually went in. Since I work in Bethesda, I continued going to the salon I always went to when I lived in Montgomery County. At the urging of my neighbor, I took my daughter in for a hair cut and I loved the way it turned out. She wanted a pixie cut that was shorter in back and longer in the front.
Danielle, the woman who cut her hair, did a fantastic job – my daughter’s hair looks great no matter what she does to it… it just hangs nicely and looks like a really expensive cut (which it was not). I was so happy with my daughter’s hair that I went back and asked Danielle to cut my hair too. I was very happy with it, and the prices were not bad at all. I plan to give Belleza all of my hair-​cutting business for the foreseeable future. I have heard that all of the stylists are great, but I do recommend Danielle if she’s available!
