In today’s rushed world, a haircut appointment can be very relaxing. You are able to spend some time sitting in a comfortable chair, enjoying a bit of “down time” while the stylist offers a warm shampoo treatment, then brushes, combs, clips, gently tugs, and dries your hair. While a haircut is one of those necessary things in life, an hour with your hairstylist is often like a visit with a good friend – especially if you get your locks trimmed at Cuttin Loose!

Located at 12100 Charles Street in La Plata, Maryland, Cuttin Loose is a small but cozy shop that provides a myriad of hair and beauty services to the local community. Cyndi Basulto, owner and proprietor, operates a simple, efficient one-woman salon that welcomes a family of regular customers on a regular basis.

As a child styling the hair of her dolls, Cyndi never dreamed that she would own her own hair salon!  She was born in Washington, D.C., and her family moved several times during her childhood years to follow her father’s career – from Florida to Michigan, then to California, where she obtained her license. In 1997 she moved back east to Maryland.  Shortly after getting settled, Cyndi walked into Cuttin Loose for a haircut, and within weeks she was working as a stylist in the salon. By 2006 she had purchased the shop and has been cutting and styling there ever since.

Cyndi and her husband, a native Californian, and her two teenaged children live in the community and among the customers that she serves.  After 23 years in the business, she still enjoys cutting and styling hair.  “I cut hair because I love my customers,” she says.  She considers them her extended family.

Cuttin Loose offers hair cuts, hair color and highlights, permanent waves and waxing. A manicurist is also available by appointment. Fancy up-do hairstyles for weddings, proms, and dances are also available.
