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.

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.

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 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.…

Jean Claude is the best with color and cut. He knows how to cut my hair with layers that makes it easy to do myself. His blonde highlights are the best in town. I have followed him around for years and I’m so happy to see he has his own salon now.

Jean Claude has been doing my highlights and haircut for more than 20 years - I have followed him to whatever salon he has worked at, he is that good! Beautiful, natural color and and an immaculate cut every time. Now he has opened his own brand new salon and it is beautiful and serene. Highly recommend!
