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!!!
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.…
Alexandra goes the extra mile for her clients! Excellent stylist - always walk away satisfied! Thanks, Alexandra!
Brandon is the best at doing my hair glosses and blow drys. Salon is super convenient to GW students as well!
I had an amazing experience at Kiss Salon in Washington DC! Jean Claude is truly one of the best in the business. His attention to detail and skill is unmatched, and I left feeling completely satisfied with my service. The atmosphere at the salon is welcoming, and the entire team makes you feel right at home. I…
KISS is a great place to go for a haircut and color. Very professional. Even the shampoos are wonderful!!
My friend recommended Jean-Claude and thought I would give a cut a try. 6 weeks after the cut I'm still very happy with the results. Jean-Claude is a natural and efficient with the scissors. He looked at a couple photos of what I wanted and executed it well. I was in an out in a little over an hour. The cut has…
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!
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!!
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.
6 stars!! My husband wants to re-marry me, I feel a million bucks, my hair hasn’t been compromised and is feeling lush and thick, I learnt heaps of tips and am extremely excited to continue my journey with Jean Claude! Kiss kiss xx !! Long strong hair here we come!!
Phenomenal experience, very personable and accommodating, great service, lovely accessories. Many thanks!
Victoria is absolutely incredible, and I highly recommend her hair services! The salon is also very comfortable, and everyone is always very welcoming.
Great cut in friendly chic salon. Couldn’t be better. Jean- Claude is a master!
Absolutely the best hair salon experience. Brandon really gives a thoughtful review of what your hair needs, and the shampooing is glorious.
Curly haired humans: please go see Brandon!
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…
Victoria's cut and blonde color are absolutely spot on! She is super warm and kind and listened to me with what I wanted for my blonde (cool and bright) and for my cut (long but lots of flowy layers). She also helped me figure out a regime to keep it looking healthy. The salon is very pretty inside (the wallpaper in…
Victoria has been my stylist for almost 20 years and I am so thrilled she is at Kiss Salon. It’s conveniently located with a great staff and the highest quality service and products. Every visit is like a spa day. Victoria is a great listener and I always leave with exactly what I wanted my hair to look like.…
Jean Claude is a master colorist and stylist. The level of service at the salon is amazing. I can't imagine going anywhere else!
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…
After trying to find a hair stylist for many months after we’ve moved to DC, we finally found Jean Claude at Kiss Salon. The whole experience was marvelous, starting from the politeness of the lady that scheduled the appointment by phone. The head wash by Maria sets the tone, with a relaxing massage to the head. And…
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 was the first to cut/style both my and my husband's hair after 2 years of "at home cuts" or lack there of for my husband - and I think the best thing I can say is we were so very thrilled with his work that we are now permanent clients. The full salon offers excellent service from the appointment,…
Hands-down the best haircut of any salon in Washington DC. Can say this as I’ve been with Jean Claude for over 25 years! Convenient location and very reasonably priced.
Use Kiss when I am in town. They are professional and Jean Claude is excellent at his craft. I highly recommend this salon in DC!
Kiss Salon is outstanding in every way, and I highly recommend Jean Claude. I've had my hair cut and styled at many salons in many cities over the years, and Jean Claude is absolutely the very best. I've been his client for over 2 years and his work has been consistent and excellent.
I had never been to a hair salon before, but Jean Claude set me up with a consultation to discuss what I wanted and have him take a look at my hair, and then a few days later I returned for my appointment to get full highlights to even out my hair a bit. I was very satisfied with the work he did and he (along with…
I was in town for a black tie wedding so I scheduled an appointment with Jean Claude to blow dry and style my hair! He was so professional, kind, and incredibly talented! I felt like a million bucks! Thank you so much!
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!
