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 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,…
Best salon in DC !!! Yvonne and Z are miracle workers
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! ★★★★★
I came to Cavalry Salon in May 2026 for a partial balayage with Yvonne, the salon owner. I brought clear inspiration photos — including photos of my own hair from 2022 — showing a soft, dimensional brunette with preserved natural depth and a darker root. My goal was subtle dimension added to my natural brunette, not…
Best highlights in DC. Ivonne is fantastic, I’ve been there 3 times, and every single time is better than the last time. They are very accommodating. I would recommend Ivonne to anyone who wants to fix their hair or have amazing highlights.
Hava did a very amazing job with my highlights and they turned out so nice 😊. I recommend coming here to get hair color because Hava does it very well!
Hava is the best! She is AMAZING- the only person I trust with my hair. She has great vision and always nails it. My latest look — cocoa brown highlights, perfect look for the summer!
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!
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…
It was my first time here, I’m so happy with the results! Thank you so much Yvonne and her team. 🤍 She did an amazing job, she combined a color of my choosing and another one she chose. I was really nervous, but they were reassuring, and really attentive. Awesome service from everyone. Definitely coming back in the future.
Beautiful transformation!!!! Thank you Hava❤️
Great service and vibe!

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!
Yvonne is the best! She knows exactly I want for my hair. She gives me her professional advice. She has been moving to different locations in DC and I have been chasing her around to find her. I highly recommend her.
So so happy with my hair!! Yvonne is great and works so efficiently. Would absolutely recommend

Hava was the absolute best, I came in for a partial highlight and she completely transformed my hair. She also. Cut and styled my hair and made it come back to life!
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…
