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.

I came to dc for a trip and needed to get a haircut and I was presented with none other than the amazing Nakia. Nakia made sure that everything was good from simply cutting my hair to giving me tips on how to maintain great hair and the conversation was so great and natural. Nakia showed very great energy and made…

I cannot recommend Maria Fratus at Kiss Salon enough! I came to her feeling self-conscious because my hair had thinned noticeably due to GLP-1 medication. From the very first appointment, she took the time to listen, explain options clearly, and create a plan to help my hair look natural, full, and healthy again.…

Abigail does such a fantastic and professional job! I have been to her multiple times and highly recommend her. I've had her do the following services and was happy with all of them: blowout's, highlights, dusted my ends (trim), layers, nails, and recommendations on products. She's very kind and a great person to talk to.

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.…

This salon is top tier. Victoria is the BEST! She is excellent for blondes - highlights and balayage, I leave the salon feeling confident yet it looks natural. It's a true treat to come here. She also is so kind and fun, which makes you want to come back even more! I have had multiple people compliment my hair since coming here.

First time at Kiss Salon and had a fantastic experience. Jean Claude did amazing blonde highlights. He took the time to chat with me and understood what I wanted. I forgot to sign up for a blowdry online and Brandon squeezed me in which was so nice! Love this place and will be back
