Rodrigo is my go-to barber! He’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. He takes great care of my hair, always listens to my requests, and makes sure I’m happy with the results. I always leave feeling very satisfied. Highly recommended! 😊
Excellent consult and execution of the style . Clean friendly salon . Highly recommend rogrigo !
I had a great experience and was well taken care of! Definitely recommend!
I have found my new hairstylist!! Rodrigo is such a gem—everyone was so welcoming and friendly. He saved my life and revived my hair! :)
Rodrigo was amazing! I love my haircut!
Emmanuel is amazing! I got exactly the haircut I wanted, and the communication was excellent. I highly recommend him!
Since I moved to DC I think this is the best barbershop I’ve ever been. Thank you you guys did a great job and also the staff is very friendly :)
Emmanuel does a terrific job. He does a great job at talking with you to understand exactly what you want, and gives an awesome cut. He clearly knows a ton about hair and hairstyles. Really friendly guy too.
Gladys is skilled and kind!
I had such a great experience with Rodrigo! He speaks both English and Spanish, and he was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to detail. I honestly wasn’t sure what haircut I wanted or what would work best for me, but Rodrigo quickly recommended a style that suited me so well. He really listened to what I…
I loved my experience here! I am only in DC for a week and popped in for a deep condition, haircut, and blowout. Gladys did an excellent job helping me figure out what I wanted, and the service was top notch. The prices are super reasonable as well. Definitely check them out!
Best haircut i’ve gotten in a loooong time, easily top 3 I’ve ever gotten. Emmanuel is a master of his craft. After I showed him my reference pictures, he explained multiple different ways we could try to attain the look I was going for. We settled on one and he executed it to perfection. Genuinely, my hair looks…
Moved to Arlington recently and tried one of the typical premium barbers in the area. The cut was uneven, the fade was off and it was overpriced for the level/quality of service that you receive. I have medium length hair that’s overall thick and wavy . Emmanuel was a completely different experience. He took the…
Came here for a men’s cut, my hair is very thick and straight so it’s always tricky for barbers to get it right. Rodrigo was very attentive and was careful to ask exactly how short I wanted different sides of my hair to be. Along with a nice salon wash, this place is worth it for the price. I was able to get seated…
One of the best haircuts I’ve ever had — styled in a totally new way for me! Emmanuel was kind and a great conversationalist. Will be heading back for a trim soon!
Susana did a wonderful job!
Gladys did SO good! I’m very particular about my hair & have been flying to Texas every few months to get it done but Gladys and the staff at the salon have me as a forever client now🤍🤍
Excellent salon, with an incredible service, punctual and with great recommendation. Special mention to Emmanuel, who helped decide on a way to change my haircut and was incredible with all the suggestions. Also, prices are really reasonable and exactly match the experience and quality of service!
I was drawn to Emmanuel's salon by his great reviews, and he didn't disappoint. It's a very well run salon which results in great flow and a very efficient experience. I'm very happy with my haircut and I'll be back.
Gladys is nothing short of the BEST!!! She’s truly just a m a z i n g. I had such a lovely appointment with her this afternoon and she couldn’t be more welcoming. Even threw in a gloss and blowout for free since it was my first time at the salon! Everyone else was the kindest too, from front desk staff to the hair…
Highly recommend! Emmanuel was super attentive to details and gave a me a great haircut
I got a haircut and beard trim. Emmanuel really knows his craft. He suggested using scissors instead for my long hair and I couldn’t be happier. The haircut also comes with a hair wash. Highly recommend this spot.
I had the best haircut experience today! I scheduled an appointment online and my stylist Susana gave me exactly what I was looking for. Excellent service and beautiful inclusive salon space! 10/10 would recommend for your next cut.
I came for a regular men’s haircut. Emmanuel was extremely kind and was very personable and adjusted our conversation topic towards something I was very interested in. Overall, the appointment went super smoothly with Emmanuel both listening and working with me in order to get the hairstyle I desired. Overall, 10/10.
Best ever experience Professional and sooo friendly team I loved Susana work and really appreciate it
Gladys was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I️ asked for a medium length with long face framing layers and she delivered more than I️ could have asked for! I️ can part my hair in any place and the style looks great. The best haircut I’ve ever had, I’ll be back again to see her in a few months!
Gladys did an amazing job with my butterfly cut and blow out! Salon has super friendly and is very clean. Will be coming back
Rodrigo is incredibly talented! I went in for a pretty significant change, and he absolutely nailed it. He listened to what I wanted, was meticulous with the details, and gave me exactly the look I had in mind. I’m genuinely so happy with how my hair turned out. He’s clearly a master at what he does, and I wouldn’t…
Rodrigo was our stylist and he did an amazing job, I can’t help but keep looking in the mirror!! He did exactly what I wanted and he was also very kind. I will definitely rebook with him.
This was my first time here and I loved it!! Rodrigo cut my hair and he did it exactly as I showed him the picture!! He is so nice and great at his job 👏🏼👏🏼

I came in with super long hair, I hadn’t gotten a cut in about a year. Gladys did an an amazing job my cut & blowout was gorgeous!!
They are very patient and kind. The lady who cut my hair definitely knew what she was doing and I have no complaints.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rodrigo is truly an exceptional hairstylist! I’ve been going to him for a while now, and the difference in my hair has been incredible. Not only does every haircut look amazing, but my hair has become healthier, stronger, and has grown so much under his care. He doesn’t just give you a great haircut—he…
I got my haircut with Susana, and I had a great experience. My hair was pretty damaged, so I wanted to cut it into a long bob. I showed Susana a few reference photos, and she also gave me some helpful suggestions based on my hair. The final result turned out really well, and I’m very happy with my haircut. She…
I had such a great experience! Rodrigue did an amazing job on my haircut. He really took the time to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. The front desk staff was also so kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I recommend this salon if you're looking for great service in a…
Great service from Susana and everyone at the location! :)
This is the best hair salon in DC! Inclusive service for everyone with knowledgeable staff. You can get virtually any service or cut here, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend, I've been coming here since it opened!
Perfect bouncy cut in record timing. Would highly recommend Gladys and will be back!
I changed my hairstyle about a year ago, and this haircut was one of the best I’ve gotten since then. Great styling technique and conversation!
Been here several times. Always a great experience. They always have far better ideas than I come in with!
The salon staff were really nice, and I liked my hairstylist Rodrigo. The haircut was fine, nothing incredible. He was supposed to diffuse it but mostly left it wet which made it really frizzy. That's fine if you're doing a wet cut but I paid $120 for a cut and style so would've expected the hair to be dry and…
I love my hair cut, they did an amazing job!
Susana she was amazing, I have been looking for a good scisor cut in DC area and I got it.
I finally found my hairstylist! Susana was amazing from start to finish. She truly listened to what I wanted, was incredibly patient throughout the process, and delivered something even better than I had envisioned. She did my color, cut, and blowout, and the results are absolutely stunning. I have thick, naturally…
Got me in on short notice and did a great job. Kind, professional. Service above and beyond.
booked an appointment on the same day with Gladys for a haircut. she did an amazing job with layers and blowout. loved the end result.
Phenomenal job Susana!!
Gladys did such an amazing job and gave me exactly what I wanted :) Good prices, clean, it was fairly quick too with my long hair and she still made sure to take her time with my hair. Parking was also fairly easy street parking. Gladys is so sweet and has a wonderful smile!! She brightened up my day! Thank you Salon Emmanuel!
All the 5 stars are right, Gladys is amazing!! I was so grateful to find her before a big trip, she cut my hair perfectly and it was very relaxing! If you are looking around DC for a haircut, this is the place!
Emanuel is amazing best cut in DC!
Absolutely loved my experience getting a haircut with Gladys. 20 stars! Their affordable prices ($65 wash/cut/diffuser) and her client reviews brought me in and I couldn't be happier. Amazing service, friendly staff, and relaxing salon. I went in to cut my hair to donate (12+ inches). I wanted a cut that would have…

Wonderful salon and great prices

Great experience overall, would go back again. Emmanuel really knows his stuff, and is a nice guy
Emmanuel gave me a fantastic haircut recently. I really appreciated that before the cut, he consulted me and offered advice as to what decisions made sense for my hair type and head shape. The cut itself was precise and professional, couldn’t recommend this place more!
emmanuel cut my hair and it was a great experience! he was very friendly and attentive to my needs and what i wanted, and my hair came out great. i will be coming back for sure
Emmanual was so attentive and explained everything and helped me get my waves back
Glady’s does a great job with blowouts and cuts. The first time I went there she fixed a bad cut I had at another salon. I’ve been back 3 times and have not been disappointed! The salon is clean, booking an appointment is easy, and prices are reasonable.
Chase was fantastic and created a great experience not only getting a haircut, but changing up my style exactly how I wanted it. Place was very clean, welcoming, affordable, and a great experience all around. The website is very easy to navigate and accurately shows pricing. Highly recommend!
Great haircut. Very hospitable.
Lovely salon! My stylist, Gladys, was amazing — very friendly and attentive. She made sure to check in about the amount of length we were taking off. She also took off all my dead ends and left my hair looking great. 100% recommend!
Had my first haircut with Emmanuel, he is the salon owner. Very precise, patient, friendly and understands your needs and style. I will highly recommend to set up an appointment with him. Surely coming back for another haircut. Thanks Emmanuel, a good cut makes the mood better!!
Great experience! Gladys was excellent — she made me feel so comfortable and relaxed especially when I decided to take the plunge and get bangs/layers with nearly 6-7 inches chopped away. We looked at photos together and she brought the inspo to real life! Will 100% return — thank you, Gladys!!
gladys was so sweet and did the most beautiful job cutting and styling my hair. 🫶❤️ highly recommend !!!
Gladys gave me an AMAZING haircut and blow dry/styling!! My hair looks great! Highly recommend.
Highly recommend. Gladys was fantastic!
Emmanuel is great! I've been seeing him for years, and it was very convenient to follow him when he opened his own salon. He has been a great trusted partner as I've gotten a little more adventurous in my own hair journey, and I'm excited to keep going!
Emmanuel gives the best haircut in the city. 10/10 he always gets it right
Got my hair cut yesterday by Gladys Corrales and she treated my curly hair like gold. Very kind and sweet spanish speaking lady who brought my curls back to life with a haircut, some styling products and a diffuser. I was amazed at how bouncy my curls were after the cut. Nice, clean space with friendly staff.
Emmanuel was great. Took great care to give me a perfect haircut. Will be back. Highly recommend!
Gladys did a *fantastic* job, gave me exactly the cut I wanted, and a gorgeous big bouncy blow out. This is my new favorite hair place!
Great place to get a haircut in DuPont.
My daughter found them on TikTok so we made our reservations and drove an hour. The time and effort was worth it! Gladys did an amazing job and we were highly satisfied! Would definitely recommend and come again!
Impeccable service. Emmanuel really knows what he's doing and is very accommodating when it comes to the customer's wants. Excellent conversationalist, too. Can't recommend this place enough!
Excellent service and Emmanuel was knowledgeable and gave a great cut
Amazing!! Great vibes!!!
Emmanuel is my go to for a fresh cut. He always delivers and the service is really great! Highly recommend.
I love the cut & color that Gladys gives me when I visit Salon Emmanuel! I have been a number of times now & loved the results every time! Gladys is so nice, always on time, and really knows what she is doing.
Always have an amazing experience with Emmanuel. I have changed my hairstyle a few times with him and always am ecstatic with how it turns out!
Amazing service! Gladys took care of us and she was the best. She totally got what my daughter wanted, gave her some great tips for her new look, and the haircut turned out spectacular. The salon has such a cool vibe and everyone was super friendly. We’re definitely coming back!
Very impressed by Emmanuel
Had a really nice experience here. He was friendly, talkative, and made me feel comfortable right away. Took his time and did a great job on the haircut—I’m really happy with the result. Highly recommend!
I've been thinking for the longest time to get my hair color a little different and I'm so happy with my experience here! Carmen was very helpful while choosing my hair tone when I was very indecisive. She gave me a massage while washing my hair which felt very nice. And she didn't cut too much of my hair, such a…
Highly recommend. Emmanuel talks you through different styles and options for the best cut, paying great attention to detail. A very good experience.
Chase was amazing
Emmanuel was amazing! I felt heard during the consultation and he quickly delivered an expert cut!
Chase is an amazing barber and hairstylist. Living in Washington, D.C. for 19 years, I’ve never found a salon that made me feel comfortable. However, Chase’s upbeat personality and aura left an impression on me. He’s kept up with the latest hairstyle trends, providing a clear understanding of your desired style and…
Gladys was amazing with a haircut and diffuse. Everyone was so nice and welcoming in the salon! Will definitely be back!
