    First time at this beautiful sunny salon
    Sasha M.

    First time customer! I found this salon because I've been going to the waxing studio that's attached. I desperately needed color correction before attending Electric Forest and after reading reviews I was able to book a next day appointment with Ana. Street meter parking was very available. I was greeted warmly upon arrival. The salon is clean and beautiful. Ana was very sweet and attentive. I felt really good after we had a detailed conversation after my needs and concerns and she made me feel really safe. She has so much knowledge I feel so lucky to have found her! I'm really satisfied with my color cut and blow-dry. Prices are actually very moderate and fair for the DMV area. Definitely recommend BGs for color, cuts, and smoothing treatments. They also carry a really nice selection of products. Thanks I'll be back

    Got a Brazilian Blowout with Zeynep. She was really nice and this was my second time doing it with her. Would recommend and I will definitely be coming back!

    I came here on a whim. I needed my hair done and this place was close, plus it had stellar reviews. I LOVE this place. It's cute and cozy and the people are incredibly nice. They offered me water, tea or a Turkish coffee. I was gonna go for tea, but I love Turkish coffee so I picked that. It came out in this cute little teacup and saucer. It was yummy too. BG did my hair and she did an awesome job. I usually ask people to frame my face, but they have no idea what I'm talking about so I've stopped asking. BG asked if I wanted my face framed and I was like OMG yes! After that, I knew this was the place for me. I got my hair shampooed, cut, styled and dried and it was only $75. I love this place. I will definitely be coming back. I'm so happy with my hair.

    I got a groupon for a haircut and balayage coloring and scheduled an appointment for a Saturday morning. I was the first one there and was greeted warmly and quickly and BG sat me down to start looking at my hair and asking what I wanted. Honestly, I'm glad she steered me in a different direction from what I originally wanted as far as color. She was honest with her opinion without being insulting. She was upfront with the extra cost (I ended up paying $100 more that the groupon for the toner and blow dry options... which honestly considering how much hair I have and what I was asking, really wasn't too bad. Just something to be aware of) and I agreed and she got to work! BG is a really nice person and did a beautiful job. Honestly one of the best haircuts and coloring jobs I've received since moving up to the DMV area in 2017. And I have really thick, difficult to cut hair. I left feeling amazing and pampered and despite spending more than I anticipated, I felt like she was worth every penny.

    This salon fit me in last minute and they even opened early for me! They were very kind when I had to change my service from root color to balayage -- it was totally my fault as I told them the wrong thing, but they were gracious and gave me more time in the chair. They also brought me delicious Turkish coffee. Highly recommend. Their customer service is top of the line.

    Thank you BG!

    I have very fine hair that had been box colored for several years, I wanted a lighter color and decided to go with a balayage. Thanks to BG's expertise my hair turned out exactly the way I had hoped for and no damage. The salon has a very warm and welcome atmosphere and BG was very gentle and accommodating. I am very pleased with the result and will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank

    I came in with a Groupon for Haircut and Balayage. Mitia was welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately I'm really unhappy with the result. I expected fancy fashionable balayage, and came out with regular old highlights, that also are brassy and multicolored and poorly done (I asked for reddish tone). The haircut is just ok.

    UPDATE: Just look as his ridiculous responses to my review: Yelp does not allow me to use the…read morewords I would use to describe this kind of behavior: As you can see from the screenshot, in our private conversations, he said it was a balayage for $260. And I tipped $20 for $280. Yet when I complained that it felt like a ripoff bacuse the work was so poor, he invented this new story that: (1) I received a "retouch on my roots" that I should have paid extra for (2) in a perfect world I should pay EXTRA (WHAT?) for bringing my own dye in (because Arctic Fox is so controversial??!?) (3) that "the area is expensive" (4) that apparently i need an ongoing longterm relationship to have a dye job that doesn't leave me feeling ripped off (5) that "we always have free dialog" so that "you can alawys get alterations to your service complimentary of course" -- this is the biggest sticking point. Oh really? You have a dialog for complimentary alterations? When I messaged my complaint directly on Yelp, there was no response. The same inbox that booked my appointments suddenly went silent. Why was I not offered free alterations if I don't like my service? BECUASE THAT'S A STORY YOU TELL ONLY ON YELP. THAT OPTION WAS NEVER GIVEN TO ME. This is a man who tells one story to the public, and another in private. Personally, I call that LYING and DISHONEST. ---- He then said "i DID WHAT WAS NEEDED" to explain a bad job that was unsatisfying. So was MICROWAVING FISH AND EATING IT IN FRONT OF ME needed? Because most of the work wasn't even done by you, it was done by a subordinate. Anyone with 1/2 a brain should be able to see the level of ego just dripping off his response. Now go look at the other people with unsatisfied balayages. They were smart enough to take pictures and you can see how terrible some of them are. I'm tempted to go dig up my pictures. ORIGINAL REVIEW: tbh i won't be returning after that $280 dye job + cut where you used the scissor to make like 2 cuts, and where i had visible roots walking out of the place, where it was obvious y'all just wanted me to go because you closed up afterward and were rushing me out. Yeah... as friendly as y'all were ... Visible roots?!?!? No discount for bringing my own dye? Literally every time a friend has come to my house i've had less roots than the one time i paid So what was the point of paying? There was none. I had a wedding emergency and a friend who stole hair products from me. I had no choice but to find SOMEBODY that day. Everyone loves my hair, but i feel ripped the f off. P.S. If you update your response to my review again, i WILL go dig up the pictures and attach them.

    So I first off want to clarify that I was fortunate enough to win their Instagram balayage…read moregiveaway. But I swear that despite that, my review is 100% completely honest!! So when I went in, I already had blonde hair but I hadn't gotten it done since Thanksgiving so my naturally dark hair was peeking through in my roots. My blonde was also very warm and a little bit lackluster (just because it had been months since I last got it done!). So I knew going in that I really wanted to brighten my hair and give it a little refresh. I wanted a little more blonde and was hoping to add some more dimension. One of the owners, Melanie, did my hair. Starting off, I felt totally at home and comfortable. She grabbed me a Diet Coke and spoke with me about my hair and asked what I was looking for. I wanted to be realistic and I wanted to ensure that my hair would last until graduation (I graduate college in seven weeks). She was quick and efficient! We chatted about all sorts of things and honestly the three hours went by so fast!! The head massage/wash was so wonderful and relaxing. I've been wanting to go here for years (been following the account since freshman year) and I'm so glad I finally got the chance! My hair is stunning and Melanie is truly a star. I am so confident and just really appreciated the whole process. Grateful for this and super happy with my final look!

    I was a client here for years and worked with two different stylists. Unfortunately, both…read moreexperiences were disappointing and ultimately damaging to my hair. The first stylist showed little concern for hair health. My hair became severely damaged, and the highlights were poorly done--harsh, with straight lines and clearly visible foil marks. Even after going back for a touch-up, the work never improved. I switched to a second stylist for balayage, hoping for better results. On my most recent visit, I came in only for a toner and specifically asked for a golden honey blonde. Instead, I left with a dark, cool brown color that was the complete opposite of what I requested. Before I even left the salon, the stylist and other staff were trying to wash the color out, which made it clear it was wrong. The stylist knew I was unhappy, but I had a work event that night and had no real option but to leave. I called the salon the next day to have it fixed and was told there was no availability for two weeks. When I finally came back in, the stylist didn't even dry my hair--so there was no way to properly see whether the color had been corrected. Overall, this salon is overpriced, stressful, and inconsistent. Given the cost, I expected professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for client requests. I did not receive that and would not recommend this salon.

    The haircut here was very disappointing and did not meet the standards I have come to expect from a…read moreJapanese salon. 2022 I am new to DC. Over the past five years, I have regularly visited Japanese hair salons in Los Angeles, New York City, and Boston while traveling frequently. In those experiences, even when a haircut did not fully match my preferred style or length, the technical quality was consistently strong, and any adjustments were handled professionally. Unfortunately, this experience was very different. One of the defining characteristics of a Japanese haircut is the smoothness, softness, precision, and careful organization of the layers. In my case, the cut lacked those qualities and appeared uneven and poorly structured (the photo from the back). I was also disappointed by the salon's management. Based on my experience, the overall operation and quality control did not reflect the standards typically associated with Japanese salons. Update (May 2026): Over the past 4 years, I have been with my Japanese hair stylist in New York. I returned to the salon to see Keiko because I was hoping to find a long-term stylist in Washington, DC. I had not had my haircut for 7 months prior to that because I delivered a baby in December 2025. Ozuki appeared to be one of the few salons in the area offering Japanese hairstylists. Immediately after the appointment, the haircut looked good due to the styling and blow-dry. However, within a few days, the shape became difficult to manage and appeared increasingly unstructured. The photo on my ID, taken approximately three weeks after the haircut, reflects how the cut settled over time. In contrast, the Japanese haircuts I have received elsewhere typically maintain their shape and balance for several months. Despite my concerns, I scheduled another appointment six weeks after the first haircut with Keiko because I genuinely hoped the issues could be corrected and that I could establish a relationship with a local stylist. At the same time, I let the management know that my haircut had bad form and hope that it can be resolved at the second appointment. Unfortunately, my interactions with management, Liz, were once again disappointing. Rather than addressing the concerns constructively, the response left me with little confidence that the salon could deliver the level of quality I was seeking. This is the first Japanese salon where I have repeatedly had unsatisfactory experiences. Based on the consistency of those experiences, I am not convinced that the salon operates at the standard typically associated with Japanese hairstyling.

    When I called to book my appointment, I was assigned a stylist without ever being asked for my…read morepreference. During the service, it became clear that the stylist had very little experience. She carelessly placed a wet towel on my shoulder and did not even know how to properly secure the cape. When I raised these concerns at the front desk, the staff offered no apology. Instead, they dismissively told me that rebooking with a star stylist would take weeks, exhibiting an extremely discriminatory attitude. While the receptionist eventually scheduled me with a different stylist for two weeks later, I subsequently received an email stating they would not provide me with any service at all. Please DO NOT visit this salon unless you want to experience blatant discrimination.
