Salon 809 is proud to share an exciting milestone in our journey. We were recently featured in The Washington Informer as a standout local business in Prince George’s County. Being recognized by a respected publication is an honor that reflects not only our growth, but the strength of the community that supports us.

Earlier this year, Salon 809 was recognized at the prestigious PGCOC Excellence in Business Awards Gala. The Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce has been supporting and advocating for local businesses for 100 years, making this recognition even more meaningful.

At the gala, Salon 809 was awarded the PGCOC Emerging Business Award, a distinction that celebrates innovation, growth, leadership, and impact within the community.

What makes this achievement especially significant is that Salon 809 was the first business in the beauty industry to receive this award. On top of that, we are incredibly proud to be the first Dominican salon to earn this recognition.

For us, this award represents more than business success. It represents culture, resilience, entrepreneurship, and the power of community.

As a Dominican salon in Prince George’s County, our mission has always been clear: deliver exceptional hair care services while creating a welcoming space where culture and beauty meet.

From silk presses and color services to healthy hair treatments, Salon 809 has grown into a trusted hair salon in Prince George’s County known for quality, professionalism, and consistency.

Receiving the PGCOC Emerging Business Award affirms that the beauty industry plays a vital role in the local economy. It also shows that minority-owned businesses and Dominican entrepreneurs are making lasting contributions to the region.

Being highlighted in The Washington Informer amplifies this milestone even further. The article recognizes the growth of local businesses and the impact of the Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce within the community.
