Let’s Prep Salon

I had a wonderful experience with Caitlin at Let’s Prep. I have wavy/​curly, coarse, THICK hair and it was long and heavy. Caitlin has the exact same texture to her hair so she completely understood what I wanted and how to achieve that (maximal curl, no «Christmas tree» head). We had a great time chatting while she cut my hair. Caitlin suggested products without pushing them on me, and the price was so great (both for the cut and the product) that I bought it.
While I have only had a hair cut so far, I booked one of their package deals for next month. They even let me sub services on the package, and because two of the services can’t be done on the same day they are allowing me to have my wax two days ahead. That is amazing service!
Main Street is great, and I am so happy to see such a sophisticated salon join the neighborhood. With better prices and way better service than the chain salons, I think going here is a no brainier :)

Great Customer Service! The staff is friendly and professional. I’m so glad I found this place!

Had such a wonderful experience! Definitely coming back!
Christa is awesome! Thank you so much for everything! :)

As a first time customer I was beyond scared to try a new salon, but I was in desperate need of something to fix my at home bleach job. Caitlin did an amazing job on my hair color and cut! She was so personable and actually listened to my concerns and wants. I will be a returning customer!

I’m so glad I decided to call for an appointment today! After bouncing from salon to salon and leaving unhappy, I’ve found my stylist! Caitlin was incredibly friendly, patient, and listened to my thoughts about what I wanted to do with my hair. She, and the staff there, put me at ease and made me feel at home in their salon. And, what a salon! The décor is gorgeous. Prep gives you that special, luxurious feeling lacking in so many «cookie-​cutter» salons and the environment (and Caitlyn) made the stress of the work week melt away. Again, fantastic cut by Caitlyn and I’ve already scheduled my next appointment. Glad to find such a special place in the heart of Laurel’s Main Street.

Great environment from when you walk in the door it’s in the historical part of laurel Very professional Kara made sure I liked my haircut focused on my goals for my hair and gave me tips to grow my hair very relaxing environment

I got a facial by Jen and it was the absolute best! Not only was the entire experience relaxing, but the result for my skin was remarkable. She did an amazing job of addressing my skin concerns and tailoring the facial to meet my needs. She was also able to give me excellent advice on aftercare and product usage as well as some general skincare tips that I didn’t know about! My skin has drastically improved thanks to her services and advice. I would absolutely recommend facials with Jen.

I love this Salon… they make you feel welcome from the minute you walk in, they are up to date on styles and color, they will work with you until you are satisified when you leave. I saw Caitlyn and I cant say enough good things about her… shes fun, easy to communicate with and very talented. I have recommended my friends to check this salon out.

Got a mani/​pedi there today by Krista! It was wonderful, she did a great job & was so friendly. I love how my nails look & would definitely come again! They allowed me & 5 of my friends to use the space upstairs to eat/​drink etc while waiting & getting services done. Highly recommend!

Amazing salon and spa. All the ladies are extremely friendly and professional. So far I have had a facial, Brazilian wax, and highlights. All services were spot on! My Brazilian wax was one of the best I have ever had, Stephanie did an amazing job and made me feel extremely comfortable. The salon and spa is also very clean and decorated really nice. This salon and spa is a hidden gem.

I became a fan of Prep-​Salon yesterday. My sister, Sugar, took me as a gift. I was searching for a talented stylist in the DMV and found Caitlin. When we arrived, we received a warm greeting from the receptionist. My sister received spa treatment while I received a professional hair consultation. Caitlin not only gave me star treatment, she explained options for self hair care as well as what she could provide. I am very pleased with my cut, style, body/​volume, moisture and silky feel of my hair. I will return. I have already referred friends.

This salon does some of the best hair and makeup I have ever experienced! Especially for special events. I had my hair and makeup done for a good friend’s wedding and they have tons of experience to back up their great work. I have very fine hair and wanted a style that required thicker hair, for a low braid leading down to a side bun. They were able to fluff up my hair so that it could really take on that form that was needed. I loved how it turned out. The makeup I had done was just enough to enhance all of my features for a natural look, but not overdone. I had a great time hanging out with the staff and getting to know them while they made me beautiful! Overall the service and experience was wonderful. I look forward to more hairdos from them in the future!

I absolutely love PREP Salon and Alison Harper & Co. I used them for my wedding and bridal party, and have since reused them for a number of formal events. Every single time the experience has been flawless! I have had my hair done by Caitlin, Gabriela, And Alison herself! My makeup has been done by Tiera and Jenn and both do fabulous jobs! Though I’ve only used these team members, I am beyond confident that any member of the Alison Harper team at PREP or for your event on-​site will do an absolutely stellar job! If you’re in need of hair, makeup, spa or nail services, definitely go to PREP! The girls here are great, friendly, and invested in making sure you feel and look your best on the most important day of your life (or just a formal event)!

A great experience all the way through with Alison, Caitlin, and Tiera for my best friend’s wedding. They did a great job with hair and makeup and everyone looked perfect. The most beautiful of course was my best friend, who looked so amazing that I teared up a few times throughout the day just looking at her and how happy she was. She’s not one for makeup, but she wanted to look like the best version of herself on her big day, and PREP did just that.
Not only were the services great, but the ladies were also a pleasure to be around. Very bright, happy, and accommodating. They did everything they could to make sure everyone, especially the bride, felt special and taken care of. Very happy to have been able to use this service for such a special day.
