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 am so grateful to have the most amazing colorist and friend in Claudia. Without a doubt, Claudia is the most talented colorist I’ve ever met. In my opinion, only Julien Farel in New York can compare to her exceptional talent. No matter what your hair goals are, I highly recommend Claudia. She has an incredible…

I’ve been going to Kiss Salon and I always see Jean-Claude. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. He did my full color with blonde highlights a few months ago, and I was genuinely thrilled with the result. I recently came back for my root touch-up, and once again, everything is perfect. Jean-Claude is…

Always look my best after a color and style from Jean Claude. And KiSS Salon is now my go-to for all my hair products. I’m crazy for the Oribe line so be sure to ask which product works best for your hair. He has guided me perfectly and I love having the right product at home to get a salon look. Cut today was also great!

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.

If you’re looking for the best hair cut, style and color you’ve ever had, you have to have Jin as your stylist. She is amazing! I can hardly believe how great my hair looks. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

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.…

Maria F did such a wonderful job with my hair cut and color!! She cut my bangs exactly how I wanted and the color turned out beautiful.
