My previous stylist had left the area so I spent a long time searching for someone new. Stumbled upon Fouziya and am so relieved to have found someone who I can trust with my hair. Her wealth of knowledge put me at ease right away. She was quick to deduce what colours/cuts/styles would best compliment my face and…

Zia is AMAZING!!! I have very thick, corse, curly, dark hair, and basically stopped going to salons because I kept leaving super disappointed with fried hair and bad haircuts… even though I didn’t bring a picture for reference, she did exactly what I wanted, it turned out even better than I had hoped. She really…

I highly recommend Kate at Salon Leau! She has a mastery of hair color, color correction, and balayage. In addition to doing my color and cut, she has helped me take my dry thinning hair back to being healthy and thick. I had so much trust in Kate that she took me from blonde to red! She truly is the best, I would…

I saw Kate at Salon L'Eau for balayage, and she is by FAR the best colorist I've been to in DC. I've lived here my entire life, had my hair colored for 20+ years by 10+ different colorists, and not one was nearly as good as Kate. She's skilled, professional, she listens, and she knows how to execute what you want. I…

The salon itself is beautiful and clean. Very good vibes from the staff. My stylist is Tasha Renee. She specializes in EVERYTHING and ALL TYPES OF HAIR. Tasha Renee installs my extensions for me... most of the time she has to talk me into color because I'm so plain jane. My hairstyles always look natural and she…

I’ve been coming to Salon L’eau for years. The service and atmosphere are exceptional. Kate Dinia is my stylist and has been for over a decade. She is beyond talented and is always up to date on products and trends. She’s also incredibly kind and professional. I always look forward to seeing her!
