Six East Salon and Spa

When a client walks into Six East Salon and Spa, all of their worries from home or work quickly melt away, and they walk out with heads held high.

The salon is located in a historic Downtown Frederick home dating back to 1847; the same location housed another salon beginning in 2007, with Six East Salon and Spa officially opening in 2012.

Cicala worked with a salon in Gaithersburg, before coming to Frederick. “We loved the community and felt like it was a good place for us to fit in,” she says.

The style scholars at Six East are schooled in the latest techniques, offering haircuts as well as styling for special events. Color and texture services are the most popular, including full and partial foils, color correction, single process color and creative color techniques. The spa at Six East has a full menu of waxing services, as well as makeup services for special events and weddings. Each product is carefully selected with a focus on current trends in wellness and beauty.

Six East is a non-tipping salon, mostly since multiple staff members may work with a client during each visit. Cicala said clients shouldn’t have to worry about who to tip and when, instead they should focus on their personal treatment experience.

Cicala notes the best tip a staff member can receive is for clients to tell others about their experience either through word of mouth or social media.

“We love to create raving fans,” she says.

The salon’s approach is curated to focus on each client’s lifestyle. Cicala said every staff member aims to give clients an uplifting, rejuvenating experience every time they visit.

“As a team this is something that is really important to us,” she says.
