Kiss Salon for balayage
Clear ✕All 12 Google reviews tagged “Balayage”
I never received compliments on my hair until I started going to Nunzio four years ago. Now I get them all the time. He is a master colorist with an eye for the extra details that add dimension to the color and style so it stands out. The staff at Kiss Salon are also great and very welcoming.
Luxurious experience from the moment you step foot in the door —the team is so caring and passionate. I love it all!!!
I’m a dirty blonde who loves a golden balayage, and when Aaron left The Wharf to work at Kiss Salon, I followed him— because he is an absolute legend! No matter the occasion, I always look like I just walked off the red carpet every time I leave his chair. I am so grateful to have booked him at Bella Moda at The…
I followed Jin from Georgetown to Kiss in Foggy Bottom due to her world class bob and balayage skills. She keeps my cut sharp and stylish, iterating with the trends and seasons. She understands how to keep you looking professional and modern. The new products she uses for color at Kiss are amazingly gentle and luxe.…
Victoria is amazing! I love the color and how quick the balayage service is without compromising on the quality. This is my go-to place whenever I’m in DC!
If you’re thinking of booking an appointment at Kiss Salon, you should absolutely do it! I’m a new client and will now never go anywhere else to get highlights. Jean Claude was incredibly welcoming and kind, even providing glasses of Crémant while we discussed what I was looking for with my hair. The highlights then…
Brandon James is a great hair stylist for my wavy hair. His color and cuts are chic and he listens to what you want. He is very talented and provides practical advice that helps you get the best out of your style at home.highly recommend trusting him with your hair!
I’ve been coming to Jean Claude for my hair (cut, color, highlights) for almost a year now and couldn’t be happier. The results are always great, the products are high quality and the ambiance is classy but fun. Highly recommend you try Jean Claude at Kiss Salon!
Victoria is an incredible hairstylist, her color and haircut quality is unmatched in my experience and I would highly recommend her salon to those in the DC area. I have been going to her for over 10 years now. Not only are her services great, but the salon atmosphere and professionalism is exceptional. Victoria had…
I’ve been searching for a new hair salon for months and was terrified to let somebody new touch my hair after my hairstylist of 20 years turned my hair yellow and brassy blonde. Living in West End, I pass Kiss on a daily basis and decided to check out the website. Victoria’s bio spoke to me and I called the same day…
I’ve been seeing Jean Claude for years. In fact I travel from all over the country just to see him for haircut, balayage and gloss. I originally found him when my hair was fried from getting it over bleached from another place, and he assisted me in color correction and repairing my hair. Now, he has his own Salon…
Can’t recommend Kiss Salon enough! I met Jean Claude when he was working at a salon in Georgetown and he’s been my go to ever since. He’s a talented colorist, great conversationalist and really cares about making his clients happy. Love the new space he’s in and the products they use!
