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 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!
Aaron/Harun is an excellent hairdresser and colorist, i travel across town to see him. The salon is also excellent with superb service and clean facilities.
Wonderful staff. Modern cuts. Lots of positive feedback by other guests. 2 people in the fam going there. Great for both of us. Ask for Alex.
Alexandra is a wonderful stylist! Creative but attentive to your style.highly recommend!
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. She went the extra mile by ordering champagne to the salon since they had just run out! And to top it all off, she made sure I had an Uber home so my hair didn’t get ruined, since…
My experience at Kiss Salon was wonderful! Everyone was so attentive and friendly. Jean Claude is a master at his art! He explained what was needed for my hair in regards to color since my natural color is fairly dark (which is something other salons haven't done for me in the past) and then I proceeded to…
Great service. Elle is fantastic.
This salon is very professional and provides excellent services. I recommend it (and especially Dmitri) to everyone!!
KISS is a great place to go for a haircut and color. Very professional. Even the shampoos are wonderful!!
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!
Brandon has been cutting my hair (very curly) for a few years now and he's amazing.
Paul is a master. Every cut perfect, every color and highlight done masterfully. It’s all done with artistry.
Victoria is amazing! She have been making my hair fabulous for years!! I have recommended friends go to her and they are always so happy and love her too!! Highly highly recommend Victoria and especially for highlights!!
Victoria does my highlights and haircut and does such an amazing job every time!! I have never been to a better salon or had a better experience! Highly recommend!!
Love love love kiss! Victoria cuts and colors my hair and it always looks amazing. All of the salon staff are so kind and professional. Would 100% recommend for a haircut or color!
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.
Victoria is the bomb! She goes to great lengths to make her clients happy. I have very difficult hair to blow out and she surpasses all my expectations. Victoria and her salon, the Kiss Salon is a treasure in the West End.
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
Victoria is absolutely incredible, and I highly recommend her hair services! The salon is also very comfortable, and everyone is always very welcoming.
I’ve been a client of Victoria’s for years and always look forward to my visits. She is a master stylist in every sense of the word and I always feel terrific after leaving the salon. She is very honest about what will look best on her clients as well as perceptive to when they might not be feeling their best on a…
Jean Claude is a master colorist and stylist. The level of service at the salon is amazing. I can't imagine going anywhere else!
I would definitely recommend Kiss Salon. Hairstylist Jean-Claude is not only super pro, but he genuinely cares about his clients. Everyone there is very friendly and the place is clean and relaxing. A bit of soft music, nice deco, why the rush!? "Would you like some coffee or tea?"... A real treat!
Came here to see Brandon James- as a curly girl, he has NEVER let me down with my color or cut- even when I don't know what I want, he always cuts my hair so thoughtfully and I always love the outcome TL: DR: So worth every penny especially for my curly girls out there
Jean Claude is an AMAZING hairstylist. I have been going to him for 9 years and he always does a fantastic job on my cut, color, and style. Kiss Salon is professional, clean, and everyone is so friendly. I can't recommend this salon or Jean Claude enough. I have never been disappointed in a single service from him…
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!
Beautiful blonde highlights from Victoria. Would not get my hair done by anyone else.
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…
Best salon in all of DC! I have long blonde hair and Victoria does my highlights and blow dry each time I come- she does an incredible job. By far the best salon experience and best color I’ve had. Highly recommend!!!
Jean-Claude is excellent. First class hair coloring and superb haircut. When I arrived my hair was in terrible shape and dry because of bleaching. After a year and a half, my hair recovered its softness and the waves came back. The coloring always looks natural and the haircut lasts for months. I definitely recommend Jean-Claude at Kiss salon.
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!
