Plane Jane Salon

I’m really tough with reviews so giving this salon and the employees five stars is already enough said. From the time I walked in the door and the time I left, I was treated with such care. Max is definitely my go-​to from now on. Not only did he recognize my presence when I arrived but also acknowledged and understood that everyone had their phase with experimenting with their hair (people like me. lol). Though he may be busy, he gets the job done (I got everything I wanted!!!). Jinnie and Paris was also PHENOMENAL. I swear Max knows how to pick them. You can feel a sense of security when you feel like you can trust every hand on your head, which is awesome! Other than that, I’m coming back tomorrow for a new cut, and I am super excited.

Jinnie saved my hair! My hair had been damaged by perming and coloring. So I wanted to cut it short but still look feminine somehow. Jinnie understood exactly what I wanted. And she made some really good suggestions so my haircut turned out to be a lot better than I even expected. She’s super friendly and helpful.

I normally don’t make comments about places unless it’s necessary but I have to give a shout out to Angela and the crew at Plane Jane. Just started coming to get my hair colored by Angela. She is the BOMB! She definitely knew what I was wanting done to my hair and it always comes out perfect. I’m always cautious about my hair but totally trust Angela and the team there. The atmosphere is very laid back and the crew are always fun to chat with. Thanks again Angela for my beautiful hair!!! Glee

Today was my 2^nd time back and I must admit choosing Kylie to be my stylist for the day was the best choice-​ever! My hair was dark and plain when I walked in and booom, right to the very ends of my hair she got exactly what I wanted, my highlights were on point and I was so happy with how it turned out, I will be coming back for Kylie.
The salon and the staff in general is great, everyone was friendly and upbeat. Loved it! Shared my positive vibes with Ali and Kylie too. It was just the perfect day to be at the salon. Will definitely share and refer to family and friends!

I LOVE this salon and Max is tops. He’s a genius with my difficult thick mane which he cuts with skill. Best ALL TIME!!! Plus he’s a hell of a nice guy.

Been on the hunt for a great local salon. Max was amazing, attentive and skilled. High-​end service while also humoring my 3-​year-​old (it was a Tuesday afternoon). Extremely appreciative of the great cut and the understanding owner & staff. Max was extremely honest about what I should do with my cut/​style and didn’t try to up-​sell me. Total trust for return visit.

Any way I style my cut from Max it looks incredible! Blown out, air dry, or curled — I’m obsessed. Max took the time to listen to what I wanted, something stylish, but also low maintenance since I often am running out the door with wet hair. He also made some great product suggestions that have helped my low maintenance game, without pushing me to purchase products from the salon. I’m looking forward to being a client for a long time.

I don’t know how it has taken me this long to write a review of this salon. Kylie, one of the stylists here, has been doing my hair for over 10 years now. Since she started doing business within Plane Jane, I have been able to see not only the work she does, but the work of all the other stylists working here. They are all outstanding in their work, as well as a lot of fun to talk and laugh with. If you are looking for a fun group of true artists in their craft, check out Plane Jane!

This place was highly recommended by a friend and I was new to the area so a little nervous to try a new salon but I just had an amazing cut and color from Kylie. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and all of the stylist were friendly as well. I was told that Max and Kylie are the best but frankly I’d let any of them do my hair Love this place and it’s going to be a keeper!

I’ve had Kylie cut my hair for years and when she’s not around mAx does an equally great job. I’ll be going there well after I’m bald.

I’ve been coming here for over a year to get my hair done by Angela, and it’s always fantastic! She’s stuck with me through blonde, purple, and now brown — giving me great haircuts and gorgeous color that LASTS.
She listens to what you want and is SUPER chill — I highly highly recommend her. Max is also excellent, and I’ve sent many friends to Plane Jane after my great experiences! I highly recommend you check them out :)
They also use exclusively Oribe products, which have revolutionized my hair — taking it from a dry, straw-​like mess to gorgeous, healthy hair. Love it!

If you want cool, funky hair, Kylie Hoben is hands down the best in the DC area. I searched for seven years for someone who would give me the perfect shaggy mullet before finding Kylie. She’s talented and consistently good, not a one hit wonder like some hair cutters (ahem Urban Style Lab). If you fear the faux hawk or don’t do mullets, she won’t force it on. She’s just as good at cutting hair for people who like to play it safe. If you’re not sure what you want she’ll come up with ideas. She’s also super nice.

One of my relatives had her hair cut recently at Plane Jane and she was very happy with the result. Max is an accomplished stylist and a great guy! Cannot wait to get my hair cut there, too!

Did a wonderful job and gave me the haircut that I needed (not what I thought I wanted). Of course, he asked first, but he was doing what was in my best interest. Highly recommend!

Kylie is incredible. She reads people very well, and makes the whole process easy, comfortable, and fun. She has given me just about every cut and color under the sun (I’ve been a client of hers for 12 years), and it always looks phenomenal. She can do things as creative or conservative as you prefer, but it’s always beautiful.
The salon itself is very laid back and comfortable. It’s open and airy, and the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend Kylie Hoben at Plane Jane!

I visited for the first time today based on reviews here on Unilocal!Max was super nice and the salon only does hair — seems to be a rarity in DMV. I walked out with the best color — highlights and touchup — that i’ve had in years and a new style which happens never — looking forward to my visit next month and seeing my new style grow! So glad I found plane jane!

I recently visited Plane Jane salon to get my pixie cut washed and styled. Paris was my stylist and she was phenomenal. She was extremely diligent and paid close attention to the needs of my hair. I have a pixie cut similar to Rihanna circa 2010. I have a curl pattern so it takes work keeping my hair straight. Plus, I’m very particular about who I left near my hair with scissors, but Paris set me at ease.
I was extremely pleased with her professionalism and styling ability. Also, everyone at Plane Jane was kind and attentive. The salon is contemporary, well kept and conveniently located in downtown Bethesda, MD.
I will be going back and look forward to having Paris as my new regular stylist.

Love my hair cut! For years nobody had gotten it right until now. Thanks Angela! I’ve already gotten so many complements.

Paris is THE best cutter and stylist I have ever had, hands-​down. For reference, I have Halle Berry-​short, relaxed hair, and Paris is the only stylist who can relax AND cut it so that it is laid to the gods from the moment I leave to the week before my next relaxer/​trim appointment. I’ve been with her since she trained at Paul Mitchell and had no hesitation moving to this new salon in the heart of downtown Bethesda. She’s the only stylist who, when I sit in the chair, I just tell her to do whatever she feels at that moment. THAT’S the level of trust I have in her. She’s also a sweetheart.

Maybe I need to come in for dramatic change versus the trim I got but this place a-​OK. I had been frantically looking for a salon for about 7 months now since moving here from California and I AM PICKY about my hair because it grows like molasses. I had been researching for salons who can master Asian hair in the area but found not enough to persuade me. So I said, fine, I’ll just take whatever place that will take me … with high ratings on Unilocal of course.
Couple of my friends suggested other places, like the Robert Lewis Salon inside the White Flint Mall, but when I went by, it was BUSY! So that was ruled out. The photos on Unilocal convinced me that this place would not be stuffy so I went on the website, signed up for some kind of appointment service and made an appointment with Angela for the same day, at 4:30 PM.
Nervous to my appointment, I arrived at 4:30 PM. The salon has a lot of open space and basically there’s no privacy for each customer. It is more of a communal feeling, which was confirmed by the group conversation the staff was having. The girl at the register greeted me and offered me a glass jar of water. Then that was it. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to wait a little bit more or anything, but I figured Angela was still with a customer, which she was.
Angela greeted me and instantly I knew she was s u p e r c h i l l. I told her I just wanted to get side swept bangs back and a 2 inch or so trim. She asked me which side of my part I was comfortable with, washed my hair and sat me on a chair. There was just a small chit chat. Nothing super enthusiastic, which was fine. i wasn’t here to gossip or vent about anything.
My haircut was going great. I knew it was going to be amazing until she started to have some problems with my bangs. She said she cut it so that I could part my bangs on both sides of my head, but when styling, it wouldn’t stay on the part I wanted. I told her it was fine to do the other side, but she apologized and took out the scissors to fix the problem. She curled my hair to add some body and I was out of there in about 45 minutes.
Check out was easy. Everything was on the iPad and because I had set up that account, my cc info was already on file and all I had to do was select the tip % and sign.
I’m writing this review a few weeks after because I wanted to see if my haircut lasted and lasted it did. I just wish there was more umph on the top of my head but I guess that’s up to me when styling.
