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…
This was my first appointment. I came to Yvonne with a case of a really bad hair box dye accident. She was able to completely transform my hair. Her assistant, Zianni did a wonderful job with hair wash, treatments and the blow out. Despite being an introvert, I felt very comfortable. The salon has a lovely…
I got partial highlights with Hava and she was great! She told me exactly what would look the best and worked quickly and very well. Will definitely be coming back.
Yvonne is unbelievably amazing for blondes, and that’s an understatement. I’ve had some bad experiences with stylists who didn’t understand that I have very fine hair and need someone who cares about the longterm. I move around a lot, and always find it challenging to book with someone experienced with ash blonde,…
Yvonne is fantastic! I’ve been to her twice now for blonde baby lights and each time has been exactly what I wanted. The color blends great and looks super natural like I asked for. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a blonde colorist in the DC area.
Yvonne Le is truly a hair artist! She has an amazing eye for style and always knows what works best for my hair. Her attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched. Every time I leave her chair, I feel more confident and absolutely love my hair. Highly recommend Yvonne to anyone looking for a talented hairstylist! ★★★★★
Update — I’ve been going to Yvonne / Calvary Salon for almost a year and I couldn’t be happier. They truly are the best!! My hair is healthier than it’s ever been!! Yvonne was absolutely incredible!!! She transformed by hair and I’m so impressed!!! She definitely lives up to the hype!!
I have a summer update: I got a keratin done with Hava and i’m obsessed with it. She did so amazing and I will always be back here for any of my hair needs. 😍 Hava is the BEST. When I came here my hair was literally box dyed black and someone how made magic and I left here looking like this. if you ever need your…
Hava always does the most amazing job with my hair. Whether it’s a cut, style, or coloring she always does exactly what I ask and beyond. The results are incredible. She is so sweet and lovely and the rest of the staff are amazing as well. I always look forward to going back. July 1st - UPDATE new summer hair by…
Hava is a wonderful stylist! My red hair color had faded, but Hava refreshed my color and had me looking ready for summer vacation. ❤️ She’s also very kind and a joy to talk to. I’ll keep coming back to her for all of my hair needs!!
Yvonne has been my go to for years and now she is my teenagers’ go to, as well! She is so patient and really works to understand everyone desires. Checkbook this cut and color!
Had my hair done by Yvonne and Z. Fantastic hair color and service! My color was perfect! And my hair was styled the best I have ever had. I’m very happy.
The best hairstyle I have ever had!! Last year I got blonde baby lights, now after a year, they’ve transformed into a full blown balayage!! When I came for my treatment last year, Yvonne told me “just wait, in a year your hair will grow into an even more beautiful style.” And she couldn’t have been more right!! She…
Beautiful transformation!!!! Thank you Hava❤️
Went to Hava for haircut and dye and she did an amazing job and was great during consultation. Best hair cut I’ve received in years, and I’ve now been going to her ever since. She helped me go from brown to red to black, helping to pick hues and tones that best suit me. Recommend her for all dye and cut needs!
Hava is the best hair stylist I have ever been to. She UNDERSTANDS hair in a way that only comes from 30 years of experience. Hava is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, talented, and fun! I can’t recommend her and Cavalry salon enough!
I’ve been to this hair salon twice now,and I’ve had my hair dyed by the wonderful Carlos! He is the sweetest person and he does an excellent job. He got my color the exact way I wanted and gave me an excellent blow dry and the prices are pretty reasonable. I will definitely be going to him from now on.
Carlos is the Wizard of Hair and an absolute scientist when it comes to color. He knows exactly how to get it right every single time and never misses the mark. Carlos works miracles on hair — he really is like a physician who can diagnose and treat whatever your hair needs, no matter who you are or what your…
Hava is an ARTIST!!! She is truly a master colorist and gave my hair life I didn’t know it needed. I have been getting balayage for years, but she has given me the hair I’ve always dreamed of. She was extremely meticulous; no detail was overlooked — you can tell she focuses on delivering top-notch results. I…
Carlos Reyes is a balayage god! My hair always looks amazing and it can grow out for months while still looking perfect. I get compliments everywhere I go and I have sent multiple people here to fix other hairstylists' color. He also gives fabulous long layer cuts and is an all around great human. Highly recommend!
After trying several salons and never quite getting the blonde I had been hoping for, I was starting to think it just wasn’t meant to be. Then I found Yvonne through her amazing Google reviews and now I completely understand why everyone raves about her! I came in with a general idea of what I wanted, but when I…
Hava is incredible!! I’ve been going to Cavalry religiously everyone three months for about five years — I love it! Hava always knows exactly what my hair needs. I get a Diva cut and either highlights or single-process color, and she always delivers perfection. The salon is so bright and happy and I don’t go anywhere else since I discovered Cavalry ❤️
Amazing service, color and cut! Vasti does it all! A++
This salon is a little gem, and I’m glad to have found @bernardvasti again. She is the best!
This is the second time I’ve seen Hava and she is always so kind and is a master at hair! I don’t always know what I want but I came in wanting darker (closer to my natural color) and some layers. As always, she did a fantastic job!!! Make sure you check out her instagram @havalestylist for more inspo!
I was happy to follow my favorite stylist Vasti Bernard to this salon. The products and services are top-notch and the space is designed to reduce noise and create a sense of privacy.
Yvonne does an exceptional job with color correction and blonde highlights. After my first appointment with her, my highlights blended so much better with my dark brown hair. I was able to let it grow out for 5 months because of how well it was blended (I’ve never been able to do that before.) I think the pictures…
Hava at Cavalry Salon does the most amazing haircuts, styling, and balayage—I’ve been coming here for several years and always come away loving my hair and feeling confident, even after just a trim! She’s an incredibly skilled and lovely hair stylist and I can’t say enough good things about her work. My hair tends…
Hava is amazing! She was super sweet and did a great job on my cut and color. I will be going in the future to Hava!
Got a dead end trim, olaplex treatment and some coloring done by Hava! She was great at listening while also giving advice, also did an amazing job at ensuring I wasn’t in the chair too long. So happy with the results! Great salon, friendly staff and a super cute salon dog as a bonus perk! Before and after below
Yvonne is an amazing hairstylist who truly cares about her work and her clients. I received so many compliments on the gray blending she did for me. A great experience overall!
YVONNE! hair color and cut by Yvonne, she did an amazing job!!! will be coming back ❤️❤️ She did it again. Truly an artist when it comes to hair. This red is gorgeous and now i’m ready to celebrate the holiday!
Yvonne is amazing! She gave me beautiful baby highlights - highly recommend her for highlights, coloring and styling.
Yvonne is amazing! She gave me the perfect haircut! I also love my hair color. This is my new go to salon! Thanks Yvonne!
I had a great experience getting blonde babylights with Yvonne! She matched the color I already had from previous highlights and blended them well so they are subtle and look natural. Yvonne and the rest of the staff were all so kind and welcoming!
Hava does such an amazing job with my color and cut! And she is so kind. I can’t recommend her enough! Before and after pictures included!
Hava is absolutely amazing! She transformed my grown out, yellow-y hair into the most beautifully blended blonde! i got full balayage, toner, haircut/blowdry. I am so happy!! She is masterful with color! Update! I came back to Hava and couldn't be happier! Update again! Always looks incredible! Went darker this time and Hava did an amazing job :)
Hava is literally the best!!! She worked a miracle on my hair and gave me the most fabulous honey blonde ever. 1000000/10 will always recommend!!
I have been on the hunt for a hairdresser in dc for ages and I’ve been so happy to have found Yvonne. I’ve even gotten my hair dyed for the first time and I now trust her completely! Cindy also does a fab job with blow dry and styling. Highly recommend!
Wow! I am so happy with my hair - new to the area and nervous about finding a new salon, this is definitely a winner. Yvonne and Cindy took AMAZING care of my hair, listened to my voice, and after getting my hair dyed for the first time I couldn’t be more pleased. Definitely recommend!!
