I really wanted to love this place! I booked a hair cut appointment online based on reviews with one staff member but was asked to come in early. When I did come in early, I was given a different staff member who was very nice but had limited skills in cutting hair or styling. She gave a me mullet that I had to get…
val did an AMAZING job working with me and my inspo videos to create exactly what I wanted

Great, comfortable, friendly, confident expertise. Quite satisfied with result .......stylist Xena
Yesenia did a beautiful job with my hair at my first appointment with her a few months ago and today as well.
For more than 2 years, Emily has been our top choice for a salon haircut. Emily is great! She is personable and made my hair look fantastic. Highly recommend!
I've been coming to Salon EFX for 15 years and have recommended Zena many times. She's a great all-around stylist for scissor or razor cuts, long hair or short, highlights, color or whatever else you need. She's careful to consider each customer's unique style and needs, and always makes good recommendations. I'd give her more stars if I could!
My wife has always had a good experience with Yesenia, always caring and attentive to her.
Yesenia assisted us and did an excellent job. We were all very pleased with her service and professionalism. I highly recommend Yesenia and the salon to all of my friends. It was a wonderful experience
Yesenia was amazing! She was so thorough and patient getting my daughter's hair color and cut absolutely perfect.
Yesenia is an amazing stylist. After going through several stylists, she’s the one who truly listened to me and gave me the best cut for my hair and for my face. Additionally, she does wonders with colors and highlights. And finally, she’s just one of the nicest humans you will ever meet and she truly cares about her clients.
I have been getting haircuts from Yesenia now for more than two years . The reason I keep going to her is because she pays close attention to my concerns and gives enough time to go over pictures and ideas before cutting my hair. She makes sure you get the haircut you wanted and adjusts any changes you want after…
Emily is AMAZING! Two of my adult kids (and now one of their boyfriend’s) also go to her. She’s great for haircuts, color, whatever you ask for!
The right color and cut can make you feel beautiful and confident for weeks and at times make you believe that hair is your “Super Power!” Zena has the skills to truly understand the chemistry that goes into making color look genuine and gives a haircut that fits a face and personality. Besides being an exceptional…

Zena is the best! I’ve never had anything but an excellent cut and highlight experience with her.
This shop is amazing. I saw Zena today and have been going to her for a number of years. She always does a great job with my hair.

Zena has been doing a great job of taking care of my hair for several years. I get it cut and colored every 3 weeks. Zena genuinely listens to my feedback and incorporates my wishes. That is not the case with every stylist. I couldn't be happier!

I've been going to Zena for many years! I have never been disappointed with the outcome of my hair! Her professionalism, patience and kindness make her an asset to her profession! I would recommend her to anyone that might be ready for a change for the better. You won't be disappointed!!
The best Salon anywhere in the DMV. I have been seeing the same stylist, Zena, for more years than I can count. She is professional, talented, kind - don’t have enough positive adjectives to describe her.
Zena was incredibly friendly and patient, alongside gentle with the hair when styling. She checked in to make sure everything looked good on my end, and it was highly appreciated!

She is incredibly talented, professional, and always takes the time to understand exactly what we want. She makes us feel comfortable, cared for, and always leaves…
I’ve been along time customer of Zena, just about 20 years now. She has seen and serviced my hair in my many phases of hair transformations. From full bleach, to highlights, to full bob cuts, I’ve had the pleasure of having her by my side and fully entrusted the process. As someone who has family that is in the…
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ms. Emily Pham. I’ve been a client of Emily’s for many years and she is and has always been so professional, kind, considerate and engaging. She listens to her customers and in my case has always exceeded my expectations. She transformed my look just recently, today in fact…
Emily did an awesome job! I went in for a color correction with highlights and she was very thorough with her consultation. I love the end result and she took time to teach me about how to maintain my color better.
I always receive excellent service from Ms. Emily Pham. She knows how to cut my hair. She is friendly and very gracious.
My family and I have gotten our hair done by Emily here for years with nothing but amazing results. My most recent cut is the best I've ever had. She's extremely welcoming and receptive. I've always left with my exact desired styles!!
Emily is absolutely amazing! So sweet, caring, and talented. She always makes me feel comfortable, and I’ve never been disappointed with my hair. I highly recommend her! ❤️

Yescnia has been doing my hair for a couple of years she is the best. Very friendly and knows how to make my hair look good every time.
