I am always happy after my cut with Alyssa.
Hunter always does a fantastic job with my 2B curly hair. She is super nice, too.
Brennan was fantastic, as usual! The atmosphere overall relaxing, from the wash through leaving the salon. Everyone is friendly and happy to join in a chat, which makes it a fun time.
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!
Chevelle did my hair and did not disappoint! She was kind, took her time, and executed exactly what I wanted. Thankful I found this awesome salon!
I loved my experience at Inizio salon. I was greeted and given water. Elena listened closely as I described what I hoped for in my haircut and my journey learning how to style my wavy hair. She executed with ease and gave me tips on how to style to get the results I’d like in the future. I’m very happy with the results!
I got the best curly cut of my life here. Hunter was fantastic - attentive, careful, patient, gentle and really thorough. I've never had such a good curly cut that looks great even with minimal styling and gives the appearance of having more hair and more/well-defined curls (something very difficult to do with my…
Went to Brennan for a cut, and he did a great job taking care of my 3B/3C curls! The salon is great! Clean and bright, staff are friendly, and the massage chairs during hairwashing are the best. I highly recommend Inizio for all your needs!
I’ve been coming to Alyssa for 3 years and she never fails to impress me! Great cut and color and she always takes the time to discuss what you want, what would look best on you, and fix anything you aren’t sold on. The salon is clean and a fun environment.
This is my third time at the salon and this time I got a haircut from Hunter. They were very friendly and receptive to what I was looking for and executed it perfectly. I am very happy with my haircut and will definitely keep coming back in!
I love my haircut and my overall experience at the salon was fabulous. Fresh and inviting cozy atmosphere, professional and friendly staff, and a massage chair at the wash sink! (I'm a sucker for the little things). I highly recommend Brennon. While I have pretty fine straight hair, his client prior to me left…
Hunter was great! Had a wonderful experience, they were very attentive and helpful with any questions I had. They got me right fr
I went to Inizio for a haircut. Hunter did my hair and I absolutely loved my cut and the overall experience. Hunter was really patient and made sure that my haircut was exactly how I described. I highly recommend this salon. This will definitely by my go-to place in dc.
Hunter did an amazing cut with face framing highlights! Reasonable price and consistent results- I always come here for my mullet. Highly recommend.
I had a great experience. Hunter listened to what I wanted with my hair cut and checked in frequently to be sure we were achieving my goal. I’m very happy with how my hair turned out! :)
Hunter is great and did a wonderful job with my hair! The prices were also very reasonable. :)
I have been going to Inizio hair salon for years to get my haircut and I could not possibly be happier. I have seen several hairstylist including Jayson and Elena. My experience is always superb and they always do an excellent job with my hair. One of the things I really love about them is that they are so…
Got my haircut by name twin, Hunter, and they did a phenomenal job. This was the first haircut I’ve had where I felt like it was a whole experience, not just having my hair cut! They took their time and cut with care. My hair has never felt and looked better—I can’t wait to go back!
Thank you, Elena, for a fantastic haircut. You know exactly how to work with my curls. Happy curls, happy girl!
I went in to get a curly cut by Chevelle and it was a lovely experience. As someone who has had negative experiences with curly cuts before, I was nervous trying a new salon but needed to find someone in the area after moving from out of state. Chevelle immediately made me feel comfortable, asking about my past…
