This is truly the best salon I’ve ever been to! I’ve seen Eli for many years and she always does an exceptional job with my hair. The salon is beautiful, and all of the stylists are professional and talented.

I have been seeing Ali for years, and even though I have moved out of DC I make sure when I visit home he’s ALWAYS a stop on my itinerary. I genuinely don’t trust anyone else with my hair color or cut - I think most blondes can related. The salon that Eli and Ali have created has a relaxing and inviting atmosphere…

I’ve lived in DC for nearly 10 years and have tried many salons and stylists and no one comes close to Eli Ali Salon. Ive been seeing Eli for a few months and she is amazing! Was really thoughtful in figuring out how to fix my outgrown color, and always does such a nice job. The salon is really cute and always clean…
