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 schedule an hour long appointment for an updo. The stylist literally took 15 minutes from start to finish and I looked like a Mormon child bride. I didn’t realize just how bad it was until I got back to my hotel. It was the absolute worst updo I’ve ever had and I took it out 30 minutes later. Spent over $150 for nothing. DO NOT COME HERE!

I am from California and found Yvonne and have been coming back to her when I come to DC for 4 years! She is the most talented in DC and I highly recommend her for highlight, updos, and extensions. Her updos are so creative and I am blown away every single time! Come see her 😊

Yvonne is the only person I trust with my hair in DC. She is a master at her craft and helps you achieve your hair goals. It was the first time I showed a picture of what I wanted and it was executed perfectly. Never before have I received as many compliments on my hair.
