Six East Salon&Spa

I had a nose, ears, and eyebrow waxing. They were very flexible at accomodating my short term request for an appt. Morgan the waxer was one of the best waxers I have used if not the best. The place is close to a parking garage. They have a no-​tip policy which removes that part of the ackward check-​out. I definitely recommend them for waxing if you are in the downtown Frederick area.

For a pedicure there is nothing special to note. Nothing sets it apart; can go to a strip mall and get a pedi for the same price with more bells and whistles. The person doing the pedi was very nice. The place was clean and their customer service was very good.

I stumbled upon Six East because I work downtown and wanted a place that was an easy walk at the end of the workday. It’s in a very unique old building and the salon part is in an old alleyway. When you get your hair washed you can look up to the original balcony and home windows which is kind of neat. As mentioned in other reviews, when you are a newbie they give you a tour and show you all the neat things about the home. At first I was like, this is weird, I just want my hair done. But, I think it’s a good service for the salon to get to know their customers and show them around. Everyone is really kind and welcoming.
I was a bit concerned at first about paying $ 60 (but no tips!) for my hair. I’m growing out a pixie cut and usually people are done in 15 – 20 minutes on my hair. However, my stylist, Beth was amazing! She really had an attention to detail and was creative. She spent close to an hour on my hair and I walked out in LOVE with my new cut. I’ve been back to her for highlights and was really impressed with the natural look she gave me.
My facial was long over due and very needed. It was relaxing and I left so refreshed. I’ll be back again for a longer one in a few weeks. I appreciated Morgan knowledge on how to properly care for skin and what she recommended for my facial needs.

I am a new resident of Frederick and after researching online to see who I could use as my new hair stylist, I gave 6 East a chance. I’ve been there twice to get my hair done by Ashley and she’s exactly what I was looking for! I’ve been ecstatic both times. I have short, blonde, thin hair and she gives me a very flattering, clean but stylish cut that grows out amazing (no awkward phase) and they use Wella dye products and BB hair products which I love! She makes my highlights look natural and I trust her with any of her color or style suggestions. She also gave me tips on how to blow dry and style my hair which I have incorporated into my routine. She’s very sweet and the rest of the staff are also very friendly. Great, shabby chic salon and I like the new custom of no-​tipping. I will not be going anywhere else!

Priding itself as a no tip salon this is perhaps the reason it doesn’t work.
As a person who loves to get facials this was one of the worst facial experiences I’ve ever had.
There were so many things that went wrong I don’t know where to start.
It was supposed to be an hour long but between the tour of the salon, the explanations of the mural on the wall, the tour of the bathroom which she claimed was her «favorite part of the house» it was by no means an hour long. My tour guide/​esthetician tried her best but the sales pitch was very impersonal and robotic.
I’ve never had a facial where the products were stored in another location for starters.
It took her at least 10 – 15 minutes to gather supplies while I waited in a cold room with Irish sounding music. When I first entered the room I couldn’t hear what she was saying because the music was so loud so I requested she turn it down.
After she returned with product the whole session felt a bit uncomfortable because no water was used and very little product. Truthfully the whole experience was a waste of time and not pleasurable at all. When I returned home my husband asked me what was all over my face. I then went to look in the mirror only to discover that part of the mask she used was still on my face and in my hair.
It was so far from a good/​decent experience it would take many changes to even consider going back. Needless to say I could never recommend this spa to anyone.

I recently had the opportunity to be a model for a pixie cut by Beth Senio at Six East. She gave me an amazing cut that looks great and works well with my difficult hair. She was very pleasant and listened to a few special requests I had. The atmosphere was very nice and the massage chairs in the hair wash area were wonderful. I highly recommend Beth Senio at Six East!

Beth Senio is amazing. She is new to Six East salon, but don’t let her short tenure fool you. Right off the bat her smile and hospitality made me feel right at home. I came in there knowing that I needed a cut and color and let her decide what would look best on me personally. I am in love with her choices for me. My hair feels so healthy and better than it has felt in a long time. Beth’s precision and attention to detail all while being so kind… and using her creative juices was completely impressive to me. Oh and the shampoo chair gives you a back massage! Getting my hair cut by Beth was the best decision. I feel like she is one of downtown Frederick’s best secrets. Part of me doesn’t want to share about her because I don’t want her to become too popular for me:)

Scott M is incredibly talented and I always leave his chair with my favorite hair. He is very skilled and very thoughtful about what looks good on your face. Plus, he is lovely to speak with. Go see Scott!

I was originally recommended to a different salon, but they’re always booked. So after reading reviews, and six east being the only location that had all 5 star reviews I decided to try them. I absolutely loved it! When you first walk in you’re like «oh crap, this is going to cost me an arm and a leg» paintings all over the walls, stained glass window, beautiful interior with wooden historic floors, very professional appearance of the staff. However it was actually quite affordable and 6 $ cheaper than my other salon. I will definitely be coming here from now on. The shampoo man (I think his name was Scott) was very warm and welcoming, complimented my eye shadow, and gave me what felt like a 15 minute long head massage as he shampooed/​conditioned. No complaints what so ever in that area (I say that because last time at a different salon it was a gentleman as well, and he was very rough and tugged on my tangles) but not here! Wonderful job!
Ashley did my hair. She is very sweet, a little quiet at first but we warmed up to each other. I am bad with choosing what I want and she was very helpful in that area. Professional opinion and personal opinions were offered to me. And my hair looked wonderful afterward. I wanted my bangs back which I had let grow out a few years ago, and also received a trim all around. Did a lovely job on both. Everyone there continued to compliment how good it looked as well. I offered her a tip at the end but they refused and said they do not accept and to use that tip to tip someone else off about the great time I had there. A+

Love going here for pedicures, facials, waxing (never come out with red eyebrows) and candle body treatments. Debra is super nice, and I always come out relaxed. The pedicures last a long time. Love that it does not smell like a nail salon and that they don’t push the products. No tipping is nice since you know the flat rate (cost is comparable when you add a tip.
The only downside is that I wish they had 2 staff members so that I could get the services done at the same time as a guest. Their loss I guess because I could have booked 4 services instead of just 2.

Recently moving to Frederick, I found this salon by doing a search and could not be more pleased. When first meeting Ashley she had great suggestions on how to get my hair into better condition. I’m super happy with my hair color, cut and style, and get lots of compliments on the new look. They also carry my favorite makeup Jane Iredale and appreciated the extra help from Kelsey and crew, she really took the time to be sure the colors matched and worked well with my skin color.

I had my first visit to the salon today and will not go anywhere else. The staff is super friendly and Kristin was fabulous. I wanted a totally new look and brought in a photo of what I had in mind. She listened to what I wanted and my concerns. We found the perfect color then the best cut ever. It was a great experience. I love having such an upscale salon in our little city.

The staff here were really lovely. The ambiance is great. My cut, on the other hand was not $ 60 quality — I would give it 2 stars. I came in wanting a trim and was upfront about having aging extensions when making the appointment. The day of my appointment was pushed back because the stylist didn’t feel well, which was inconvenient but nice of the salon to accommodate employees as such. When I arrived I was given a tour and taken back about 15 mins after my scheduled time. They stylist was friendly, but didn’t give a ton of time/​interest to what I was looking for. We settled on a trim up and cleaning up of layers. She was very gentle which was fine, but it didn’t ensure the hair was laying correctly. After the cut my hair was about half dry and I was ushered to the front to pay and leave… Which surprised me as it was only about a half hour for the whole experience wash/​cut/​dry-​ish. When I got home to style I noticed the layers were very blunt — like chopped — meaning I can’t just leave the house it needs a curl every time. Later I noticed a piece about one inch longer than the rest just hanging out. I’d have gone back to have it fixed, but I wasn’t confident in the particular stylist. Surprising given so many positive reviews. I understand she wasn’t feeling well and dealing with extensions isn’t particularly fun but if there’s any lack of confidence there I’d rather have someone say they can’t accommodate me than take my money and give a mediocre result.
I’d try this salon for other services though. I also saw another woman finishing a great cut and style while I was there.

I love this salon! Kristin is the stylist I use and she is just fabulous! Has great attention to detail and amazing suggestions. She has a great skill for coloring along with cut and style! You can tell this is her passion and she truly enjoys what she does. The salon is a gorgeous historic spot in downtown Frederick. It’s a nice environment with great prices and quality products such as Oribe.

I had my first visit at this salon yesterday. The appointment was for nail service. I decided to treat myself to a manicure; an employee by the name of Deborah provided this service to me. I have gotten many manicures over the years and this was WONDERFUL service. Deborah took her time and did a meticulous job. Not a speck of nail polish ended up on my cuticles and she provided a great hand massage and moisturizing treatment on my skin. I have had manicures in the past where nail techs have cut and scraped my skin when trimming cuticles — and even given abrasions around the nail beds from the emery board when filing my nails. Deborah was careful and gentle during this service and didn’t cut, nip, or irritate my hands/​skin with any instruments. I make note of this because it is a source of aggravation to me when this happens… I find it disappointing when I pay for professional salon nail service and walk out the door with bloody nips and cuts — and red skin from emery boards filing skin and not nails. Deborah was also VERY kind, friendly and professional, using clean technique and made me feel like a friend during my time with her. She offered a tour of the lovely salon and I liked her very much. I plan to return to her for a facial; hopefully soon.

To me it’s excellent. Starting from the location and the interior and to its personnel. I do hair with Kristin and I am always content with the result I get. It is a pleasant experience in whole: drinking nice tea, chatting, getting professional service! And after salon run into one of the great restaurants of Frederick to complete a pleasant day.

Love the salon and the service provided there. Roxanne has been cutting my hair better than anyone in the last 20 years. Debra gave me a pedicure that was amazing. The staff goes out of their way to provide extra service for you, including putting money in your meter and running to the local coffeehouse for coffee and bagels. All are so nice, and just can’t do enough to please you. I highly recommend the salon. ann b

I visited Six East yesterday for the first time and had a positive experience. I was greeted and welcomed as soon as I walked in the door. The salon is in a beautiful historical 1840 house with gorgeous wood floors and hand painted murals on the walls. I enjoyed an EXCELLENT pedicure w/​Deborah, who I highly recommend!

Had my hair cut by Roxanne last night.
I love it! I wanted a change and she gave me a chic, smart shorter cut that swirls and sways with the wind. It was not scary at all, like you would think going much shorter would be. I trusted Roxanne completely and am so glad that I did!
The building is amazing with the original paintings all over the walls, done by the past owners. Very cool, very hip. Great karma to the place. Thanks, O’Hair/Six East!
