Gaby immediately made me feel comfortable and listened to what I had in mind for my hair. She was incredibly patient even with my thick hair elongating the work required. I highly recommend you go see Gaby and have your hair done by her!
Camelia was great! She took her time in understanding the color that I wanted and executed it beautifully! So thank you so much to her! I will be recommending her to others! Thank you so much!!
Great experience! Jayson is super accommodating and walked me through my first coloring. Very happy with the results.
I have been going to Alyssa at Inizio for years, and - I mean the pictures speak for themselves, right?! (And they’re unedited y’all!) She's a genius with color, including and especially blonde. She is even styling my hair for my courthouse wedding ceremony - like she is THE BEST! Alyssa is not only a master of…
I have been going to Inizio for almost five years. From major life moments to ordinary Tuesdays, it has been the place I come to reset, recharge, and feel like myself again. The energy is always warm, the conversations are real, and they lovingly tolerate all of my random, dramatic, sometimes unhinged topics while…
INIZIO SALON in D.C - This hair salon provides terrible services. They did the worse job with my hair cut and hair color with very high cost. I do not recommend the INIZIO SALON in D.C to anyone who care about her/his hair. Very rude, impolite and unprofessional manager and staff. If there was any option of no…
Alyssa brought me back to life! She colored and cut my hair and it looked wonderful after. Very happy I found her!
Chevelle revived my hair! (For background, I have curly 3A hair and was in the process of getting it healthy again but all of that was undone by a different stylist elsewhere. I also would normally just contact the stylist to rectify issues but I didn't want to risk anymore damage. My hair had lots of banding,…
Hunter is great and did a wonderful job with my hair! The prices were also very reasonable. :)
I had a fantastic experience with Chevelle! I am not someone who gets their hair done often so I came in a bit unsure of all that would be involved to achieve what I had in my head 😅… but Chevelle was so patient & amazing! She worked with me to pull off the color I was going for… absolutely so happy with the final result
This place is amazing! Everyone was so nice and they have massage chairs at the shampoo station and bubbles 🥂Best of all, my color turned out flawless!! Brennan worked magic and I couldn't recommend him enough!
This salon is awesome. They are experts and always make you feel welcome like an old friend. Seriously, they know what they are doing and you will look and feel amazing.
Elena did an outstanding job with my hair! A previous visit to another salon had left my hair with an unwanted reddish tone, but Elena’s expert recommendations and precise process restored it beautifully to my natural color. I couldn’t be happier with the results!
I love this place! Jayson takes such attention to detail and is great. I made the mistake of going to a new salon when I moved to NoVA but now drive back to Shaw for my hair to go here.
Brennan has been working magic on my hair for more than a decade. He is extremely skilled and intuitive and always seems to know the cuts and color that will help me look my best. The salon is also cozy and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Jayson is my ride or die… have followed him around DC for more than 10 years at this point. He listens to what I ask for, and I leave with a great cut /color every time!
Love this salon! Very cozy and friendly. I have been going to Brennan for years and he does an amazing cut and balayage.
This is a friendly place. Great online booking experience with text and email reminders. I see Alyssa for my cut and color. Love her! I’ve also seen Elaina for color. My hair looks great. I get lots of compliments!
I had the most amazing balayage done with Elena. She really took care to ensuring I loved how it looked with my skin tone, and made my hair feel healthier than it’s been in a longgggh time. 100/10 would recommend !
Inizio is a great salon! I had been looking for a good salon in DC for a while before finding Inizio and have now been going there for several years. All of the stylists and staff are kind and friendly. You can tell they all love what they do & they care a lot about their clients. The salon itself is always clean.…
