Absolutely loved my experience with Hava! She really listened to what I wanted and absolutely nailed the color and cut. She gave my brunette hair so much beautiful, natural-looking dimension while keeping it rich and healthy-looking. Everything blends so seamlessly and the final result feels polished, soft, and so…
Yvonne did an amazing job on my keratin treatment. Her attention to detail is incredible, I highly recommend!
I had a great experience with stylist Vasti-Bernard! She did a blow-dry and style, and my hair looked amazing. She was easy to talk to and charged a very reasonable $60, even though I have long hair. Some salons start at $60 and charge extra based on length, so I really appreciated that there was no extra charge.…
Edit: Since Google won’t let me leave another review, I’m adding to my original. A year later, and I still can’t recommend Yvonne and this salon enough. Each time I come, I know that I will be happy with the cut and color. Yvonne is highly knowledgeable, friendly, and makes sure that she understands what you want so…
Thank you Hava for this beautiful haircut and such amazing service!! Cannot wait to see you again
New to area so it’s my first time coming here. I wanted something not too light as I don’t normally get my hair colored. Hava gave me exactly what I wanted. I wanted dimensions on my hair, so she gave me a full balayage with medium brown color. Found my go-to salon 😌

My daughter and I just had our hair done at this amazing little gem of a salon and had the best experience! It is a 5 minute drive from the Washington Hilton where we are staying for the NIAF Gala. The owners are talented , professional, and fast. I highly recommend this salon!

I get my hair cut by Hava Le and she’s absolutely amazing and such a sweet and kind person. I love my new haircut! Hair update: highlights done by Hava! Love love it!
I discovered Cavalry Salon this past summer, 2026. I am one who highlights her hair every 3 to 5 months and am very picky. After years at another salon, I decided to try a new colorist. Yvonne is the one! My hair turned out literally the perfect blonde for me. She also did a hair cut and blow dry. Also, loved the hair cut! I highly recommend Yvonne and this salon, if you want your hair to look beautiful!

Hi Nicole Thank you so much for your recommendation. We are so happy you found us. Please help us by spread the words out to all your friends would be wonderful.
Yvonne is absolutely amazing! I recently got my highlights done by her, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My highlights look incredible and turned out even better than I expected. The salon itself has such a welcoming atmosphere. It’s stylish, cute, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend her and her salon to anyone looking for beautiful hair and a great experience. I’ll definitely be back!
