Luis is heaven-sent! As a type-B bride, I was panicking only two months away from my wedding day trying to find a hair and makeup artist who was talented yet affordable. I stumbled upon Illusions, and Luis was happy to take on not only my hair & makeup but also some of my friends and family as well. He exceeded my…
I highly recommend Luis! He specializes in blonde coloring and highly values hair health. Each appointment we discuss my personal hair goals and he customizes each session to make sure we are always making progress to meet them.
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…
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!

I had an excellent experience with my stylist (Rissel). They truly listened to what I wanted and delivered even better results than I expected. The attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly attitude made the entire visit outstanding. I highly recommend their services!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love going to Illusions in Georgetown! The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive to my needs. I especially love seeing Rissel — she’s been doing my hair for over 10 years and is truly a curly hair expert. She always knows exactly how to cut and style my curls so they fall…
I’ve been coming to Gorkem for more than three years! He is the best colorist and hairstylist I’ve ever been to. They are extremely customer focused and I’ve never had a bad experience. He even cut my toddlers hair because I was saying how bad the haircut he got was. Now my husband goes to him as well! It’s an…
i am so very happy i literally ran out of work in the middle of the day to ask a stranger where she got her hair done because that’s how i found rissel! i am a transplant from los angeles and had been with my hairdresser for 10 years before moving here. i went through about six stylists prior to coming upon rissel…
Very professional, attentive, and truly talented. Melek did an amazing job and understood exactly what I wanted. I’m very happy with the result and would definitely recommend her.

Melek Balikci did my hair and it turned out perfect! Loved the color and cut!!
I go to Georgetown Illusions Salon to maintain my blonde hair (as someone with naturally Black hair), and Rissel is absolutely amazing! She always does such a beautiful job keeping the color bright and healthy. I always trust her vision, and she somehow makes it look even better than I imagined every time. I can’t…
Gorkem is a magician but all the staff is terrific.
Rissell has colored my hair for years. She is quite skilled, but also friendly, funny, easy-going, and creative.
I've been coming to Illusions for years. All of the hair stylists are amazing. I personally like Graham's work and find him incredibly talented, especially with cut and color.
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.
Went to illusions for the first time today. My hair was totally fried from bleach, delicate from hormonal changes, with an uneven color and severely grown out highlights. The online booking process was really simple. From the minute I sat down in Kayla’s chair, she made me feel at ease. Her understanding of my hair…
The color and blowout I got ftom Kayla made me love my hair again. She works wonders!
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 was my first time visiting, Rissel did a full head of highlights and tone on me for my brown turned blonde hair and she did an incredible job. It’s perfectly blended and the exact color I showed her in my inspo pic. She’s also incredibly pleasant to talk to and made the time go by fast! The blow out after was…
