Luis is great to work with, he is very patient with talking you through consultations, and does an excellent job with balayage and highlights.
I’m new to Washington and had been looking for a hair salon where I could feel comfortable and confident, especially for my hair color. After a lot of searching, I chose Amanda based on her profile and the services offered on the salon’s website, and I’m so happy I did! The whole team was so welcoming and…
This place is great and calming. Gorkem has created an incredible salon that has outstanding services but it feels like family not a cold sterile fancy salon. He listens to his customers and does exactly what they ask for no surprises. I’m so lucky to have him as my stylist.
Illusions of Goergetown is ALWAYS my go to hair salon! Gorkem does AMAZINGGG with my balayage and knows how to put a smile on my face each time I come! I always get compliments after he does my hair! The salon also has a garage with valet parking, so i'm not struggeling to look for parking before my appointment on…
I got my hair done today with Rissel and as always, she did an amazing job. I’ve been doing my hair with her for a very long time.Today I got a balayage, and it turned out beautiful she’s truly so talented and consistent. She offers so many services, makeup for all type of events, balayage, hair coloring, hair…
Rissel has been my hairstylist for the past four years, and she never disappoints. She’s incredibly professional and always goes above and beyond. My hair looks and feels healthier after every visit. Highly recommend her!
If you’re looking for the perfect blowout, Suelene is your girl! I recently moved to the city and was searching for a new hairstylist when I came across Illusions of Georgetown. From the moment I sat in her chair, Suelene truly listened to what I wanted and went above and beyond to deliver it. I now only trust her…
Gorkem worked literal magic on my hair. See the before after pics of the balayage - night and day difference. Only coming back to this salon from now because they really emphasize hair health and I have always walked out with my hair looking incredible.
Kayla is an artist! I’ve been going to her for the last 5ish years and I would follow her wherever she goes. She is great at color and haircut. We’ve done balayage a couple of times, and now highlights, and I’m always super satisfied with the results. She does a great job at understanding what you need and does a…
This place is absolutely amazing! I struggled with my hair for so long & Kayla saved me! I am obsessed! Everyone there is so knowledgeable. I’m telling you, you won’t regret coming here!! Thank you so much!
I never write reviews but this place is amazing. I’ve done a haircut and a partial highlights with William and both times he took the time to understand what I wanted and delivered PERFECT results. William even stayed 2 and half hours over closing time just so I could finish up my hair the way I wanted. I am so…
Kayla is a dream come true! I met Kayla when she was at Illusions Shirlington and have kept going back to her ever since. She does an amazing job with my Balayage every single time. I highly recommend you go see her!! You'll have the best experience!!
One of the best salon experiences I've had. Very kind staff, great location, and free parking. Gorkem took the time to listen to my vision and offer his advice on the direction I should take my hair. The cut and color turned out amazing! I look forward to coming back.
Gorkem has excellent attention to detail for natural healthy look.
If you are looking for perfect haircut or impeccable balayage, Gorkem/Jon is the person you are looking for! He is very professional, attentive and details oriented. He will make your dream hairstyle to come true and consult you on last trends, helping to find the perfect look ( if you haven’t picked one yet) Come…
Gorkem is amazing! He was able to recreate the looks I asked for. He gives me advice based off my complexion and my hair length. He always thinks of my hairs future and making sure we do what’s healthy too. I highly recommend him for all your hair needs! He knows what he’s doing and is always honest.
I have been looking for my go to stylist since I moved to the DMV from the northeast in 2020, and after today I am confident I have found him! Jon at illusions has done exceptional work both times I scheduled appointments with him (once for highlights and once for balayage). I spend a lot of money on my hair, and I…
