Do not get your haircut here, especially by Yvonne. Terrible haircut. She cannot do layers well. Did not check to make sure I liked the length. Didn’t even show my me haircut afterwards. Layers are not even and way too short! I had to ask to see it. She didn’t blow it out. The salon handed me off to someone highly…

A shot in the dark turned out be a gem! I booked with Hava, who is amazing! 10/10! I walked in with a mis-shapen mass of hair, dead ends, and just general unruliness. Hava gave me the cutest shoulder length bob, with the most amazing gentle sloping layers from all of the detailed point-cut shaping she did. The…

If you are looking to get your hair done, come here and ask for Gladys!! She is very good at what she does and takes her time with your hair. She was also very receptive to feedback and makes you feel comfortable about asking. I’m very happy with my hair! The price was also fairly reasonable compared to other DC salons.
