This salon doesn't know how to do 4a-4c hair. If a stylist is unable to complete a client's hair request, either due to their client's hair texture or their own lack of hair expertise with their hair type, it is the stylist's responsibility to say that. I showed my stylist a deva curl esque hairstyle with shaved hair by my ears. The hair style that I received was a botched frohawk. I can't even get braids to save my appearance. She kept insisting that my hair just needed to dry but after blowdrying it looked like a jheri curl. I complained to the front desk at the salon and asked for a partial refund, as my stylist was pleasant though didn't fulfill my request, and I am still waiting for a call back from the salon owner more than 24 hours later. I called this morning and the front desk said that they are still waiting for the owner - even though she said she'd call me first thing in the morning. It is now 5pm and still nothing. I will never go to this salon again. read more

A hair salon that does not use rollers means they want you to come back in a week or less, you do what the client request, not what you want to do. read more

I decided to do something big for my birthday and you know what that means in "woman code"....I decided to cut my hair. But I didn't want to get a shaped deva cut....I wanted a big chop. So I cut my shoulder length hair to a tapered cut. I loved my experience at Eden DC Salon. I didn't have to wait at all for my appointment. I was seated right away. It is a small and quaint shop that is two stories tall. The bottom level is where they style and wash your hair, and the upper level is where they dry your hair. With this hair style, OMG my wash day went from 4 hours including wash and dry time to about 40 minutes total. If it wasn't for the endless pursuit of long hair that all women seem to conditioned to want, I might be convinced to keep it this short. Jasmine was my stylist and she was super sweet and explained every step of the process to me. She even comforted me when I think she saw how surprised I was to see so much hair was being cut off. She showed me the products that she used and let me know that they sold them there too. I hate buying salon products just because the retailer price is so outrageous, and this time is no different LOL, but the products WORK. It really is that simple, they work well and my hair is moisturized and not crunchy after using them. I bought all the products, and even the shower brush/comb they used. It felt so good and helped my curls pop. The bathroom was a good size and clean, the one I used was on the second level. I didn't check to see if there was one on the first level. Parking is street parking which is standard for DC. I think there may have been garages nearby but street parking made the most sense for me. I love my haircut and I feel much better having trusted Jasmine with my haircut. She did a great job and I've gotten nothing but compliments. read more

I was a regular customer, but I feel compelled to share a recent disappointing experience which made my last visit my final visit to this salon. I went in for a curly cut, and I explicitly stated that I wanted to keep the length and that I did not want botched and choppy layers. Lo and behold, this is exactly what I got! My hair is shoulder length with my length completely compromised. She cut the thickest/longest parts of my hair into a single, choppy layer with frazzled ends. I don't even want to look at myself in the mirror; I am so heartbroken and depressed by this awful haircut!! When I informed Eden of my dissatisfaction she said she just did what I showed her (see pictures) and that she only cut this much (which was much more than we agreed). She assured me that when I styled it, I would see the difference...and I've included a picture of the self styled look which reveals an artless cut and the absence of my beloved strands. I hope this review will aid you in keeping yours! read more

Had a great curly hair cut and consultation with Sabrina! Professional, timely service and kind employees. And my scalp massage was amazing!! Highly recommend read more

I just had my first child this past February, and my hair had been shedding a lot and it's been difficult to manage. My wash days went from 4 hours on Sunday, to 8 hours spread across the entire weekend! I had been growing my natural hair for nearly 10 years. But I needed a change and knew I needed to come back home to get it done. Eden and her team were super understanding and gentle with me. I came in with half detangled, half knotted up hair (those of you who are mamas know!) and was scared they were going to charge me extra, but Eden assured me it was fine and I wasn't charged. The woman who washed my hair was gentle as she detangled, checking in with me to make sure she wasn't hurting me. She did a way better job than what I could do at home! Eden gave me a beautiful tapered haircut and gave me some tips on how to simplify my hair routine. We also talked about motherhood, and she made me feel right at home in her chair. I love my haircut, I feel so much better, and I highly recommend any natural to come check them out! read more

I really debated leaving this review because I don't like to be negative about people or my experiences, but I honestly just need to warn anyone who might book here to read through more reviews and think about going elsewhere. I made the mistake of not reading Yelp reviews, and went to this salon because it was recommended on Reddit. I see someone else left a bad review for the same stylist that did my cut and color. So I just have to add to the warning about Jasmine. The one thing I will say positively about her is that after she messed up my color and saw that I was clearly upset, she put in the effort to call her boss for some guidance, add in more highlights, involve me in picking out the highlight color shade from the book, and I ended up leaving 7 hours later with my hair not being a total disaster. But she just really lacked the skills to be doing my hair in the first place, and I will never go back to her or that salon. The owner should know better as well, she should have never been allowed to do color on people's hair. I had not touched my hair for two years, and got it done for an upcoming vacation. I went in for honey blonde balayage and to give my hair some shape, explicitly stating that I did not want a lot of hair cut off, to which the stylist agreed. She started off snipping only a little bit. Unfortunately when she did my color it turned out horrible, I was so upset that I didn't notice how much hair she ultimately ended up chopping off. You know how long curly hair takes to grow, and she cut off several inches. My hair was past my shoulders before and now its above my shoulders. The stylist put a few highlights in my hair, and called that balayage. Truly disgraceful to be charging $450 dollars for. I had red at the ends of my hair and she said she would try to blend it. My highlights turned out grey/highlighter yellow with red remaining at the ends, I told her it looked horrible and she tried to tell me that the color would "settle" over a few weeks, and that she warned me about not being to get all of the red out. It was gaslighting, and I let her know that it was not the first time I had gotten my hair colored before and that it would not "settle" into something completely different. At the end of the day the toner color she put in was all wrong, she tried to address the red color not realizing how it would make the highlights turn out. She just did not have the proper training or skills to color my hair. She ultimately added in more highlights and got her boss to help her pick the right toner / with technique, but the highlights were not naturally blended in the way that balayage should be. There are big chunks of bleached hair that are randomly thrown in my hair now... Then the hair cut... after she finished the highlights she really WENT IN on cutting my hair and again cut off way more than I had asked. Again, just don't do it to yourself. I really and truly regret going to that salon and would warn anyone else to just look elsewhere!!! read more

I finally visited Eden since moving to DC and I must say that it was a great experience. Eden DC Salon makes it very easy to schedule an appointment even far out in advance and you can make any necessary changes to that appointment on your own. I had an appointment at 8am (which was great to squeeze in during the work week). I was a bit afraid to park at the meters because they had a 2-hour limit and I have been in some salons for way over 3 hours. However, I was out of Eden's in a little less than 2 hours (IMPRESSIVE). Let me say that the person that washed my hair had blessed hands. That wash felt like a therapeutic head massage, it was pretty amazing. I really liked how Eden explained everything that she was doing and the current state of my hair (because I do not have a clue). My hair is thin and, usually after a day or two, my hair looks so flat/lifeless because it was straightened too much; however, Eden did such a great job of straightening where it still looked silky but not too straight so that it had volume and did not look flat. I absolutely loved my hair and I look forward to seeing Eden again. read more

I love love love Eden's Salon! Eden always does a great job on my hair. She takes the time to talk about the products I use at home, and the products she is using on my hair during my appointment. She really takes her time and makes me feel like I'm a priority while I'm in her chair. She also makes great recommendations based on the texture of my hair. She truly takes care of me and I love the results. P.S. I have 3c hair. When I come in, I get color go back and forth between curly and straight hair. She does an incredible job on both. If you're looking for a new hair stylist or salon, I recommended that you check out Eden's! read more

Douglas is wonderful! I received a deep condition, trim, and silk press. Great person and super friendly. Very talented. The salon is extremely convenient and clean. Will be back! read more

I found Eden DC Salon through several reviews I read on Yelp but the one review that stood out to me the most, and was the deciding factor in where I was going to get my hair done, was from a woman who had recently done the big chop. she had gone to Jasmine who gave her a phenomenal tapered cut. So I was very excited to book my appointment with Jasmine. I had just combed out my locs after 22 years. I explain the situation to Jasmine. I wanted a tapered cut. After sitting in her chair, I shared several varied pictures of the tapered style cut I wanted. My natural hair, going in, was probably 6 to 8 inches in length. I was getting a dry curly cut. Jasmine explained that because of the look I wanted, she would have to go high as opposed to going out for the tapered look because I only had about 8" of length on the top. I was fine with that approach so she started cutting while dry and then she washed my hair and then said that she would trim a little more after the wash based on how the curls were falling. As she was doing this second cut on the front sides of my head, I realize that the left side was cut visibly shorter above my ear than the right side. I pointed this out to her, she said that curls are unpredictable and she didn't want to take anymore off. I agreed to not cut anymore, but it was significantly shorter on the left side than on the right side. She styled my hair with products and had me sit under the dryer for maybe 20/30 mins and then sat me at her chair again as she finished up. As soon as I looked in the mirror, I felt my heart sink. This was not the tapered cut that I had in mind. This was not any of the tapered cuts that I showed her in the numerous pictures when I initially sat in her chair. What Jasmine gave me was not a tapered cut, it was a carrot top. She may have noticed my expression and again explained that curls are unpredictable. That this is the natural state of my hair. I understood all that, but reality is, it was cut too short. I didn't say much but I did not like at all how I looked, how I felt, or my overall experience cutting and styling my hair with Jasmine. I was initially extremely excited about this new journey of unloc'd natural hair and Jasmine ruined it hat excitement for me. It has been three days since my big chop and I am having a really hard time adjusting to the hair in the reflection when I look in the mirror. I know it is hair. I know it will grow back but what I also know is that I will never go back to Eden DC Salon or get styled by Jasmine. I will say that the atmosphere was nice and they offer tea/coffee/water on arrival, but the day of my appointment, they were delayed in opening and I waited over 30 minutes to to be seen. read more

Everyone at Eden, DC Salon was so warm and friendly, and. Kennya gave me one of the best haircuts I've had in a really long time.

I have natural hair and have not allowed anyone to touch my hair in 4 years since I did the big chop. I've been looking for the right fit to care for my natural hair. After lots of research, I found Eden DC Salon and they did not disappoint. Erica was my stylist and she was absolutely incredible. She was very knowledge and took great care of me while I was there. The care and professionalism by the staff is great! Each time I've arrived, Erica was waiting for me by the door. I didn't have to complete for time with other clients. I was the only person Erica was working with during our time block. I absolutely have loved my experience here. They use high quality products and tools to achieve all kinds of styles. The salon itself if chic and very clean. I got my first silk press and did not have any heat damage whatsoever. This salon is definitely worth trying, especially if you haven't found your hair care home yet! read more

Eden DC Salon - S - Hair Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Finally! I found a salon in DC that gave me the haircut I wanted. I have been looking for a salon to give me a decent cut so I could start wearing it curly again. I tried a few places in DC and Virginia and they were okay but I wasn't thrilled, so I kept looking and made an appointment at Eden salon. I had an appointment with Eden herself and she delivered on both the cut and the styling. She was on time and was managing another client's hair color without losing focus on my service. I also like the products they used in salon...I could see she used products she liked (not a single line of products). Highly recommend! The only two things I would mention that didn't change my thoughts on going back but are worth sharing...H street is unpredictable and someone will probably walk up to you or yell something at you; and I had to walk up a flight of stairs for my cut. I'm not sure if they can accommodate people on the first floor but if you can't get upstairs for any reason, you should definitely call and ask. read more

I called Eden Salon for the first time several weeks ago and got scheduled with Douglas as my stylist. I was pleased with the outcome and scheduled another appointment with Douglas. On my second visit, Doug did not disappoint; it's evident he's a knowledgeable and skilled stylist. Doug listened to my concerns and expectations for my hair and delivered. I have salon-hopped for years due to dissatisfied results at several salons and stylists of all ages and backgrounds. So, without a doubt, I highly recommend this salon and Douglas!!

I recently moved to DC from NYC and was on the search for a new hair salon. I found it at Eden DC Salon! I continuously have positive experiences. I have been there 3 times so far. The first time I went I got a relaxer/texturizer by hairstylist Shanel. I kept my hair curly and walked out looking fabulous (sorry no pics, but trust me). The second and third time at Eden DC Salon, hairstylist Briana did my hair (2nd visit hair straightened and cut, 3rd visit hair straightened and colored). I went blond for the first time and I think it looks amazing, and the best part is my hair is still very healthy.  I receive compliments all the time. Other reasons why I love this salon - Easy to book - Location is convenient - Salon is clean and ambiance is relaxing - The staff are professional, friendly, and really focus on making your hair not only look great but stay healthy - I think the prices are worth the expertise of the stylists Thanks Eden DC Salon! read more

All the women (and some men) in the shop are super nice, and we always end up in lively conversations with each other and the people around us too. read more

Eden is a phenomenal stylist. She cut and highlighted my thick curly hair for years. I've never had a stylist I trusted more. She's also very personable to chat with and always has great tips and something fun going on with her own beautiful curly hair. She really taught me how to manage my hair. I was sad when I had to move across the country last year and haven't been able to get back to DC to see Eden, but I would go out of my way to do so if I could. Highly, highly recommend her! read more

Eden DC Salon - Beautiful cut and highlights by Eden - Hair Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I really didn't want to write a review because the reviews online seemed so great. When I walked into the salon it had a great presentation, very clean and calming. My experience felt rushed and not inviting. I got a Women's Hair cut Styling with Flat Iron/ Silk Press. (View attached photos to see the final product). I can straighten my hair way better than this. My trust was broken because I felt like the stylist was lying about my hair and saying it won't last. They ended up refunding me for the straightening portion, but yeah. I'm pretty disappointed because I was very excited about this salon after seeing its reviews. Unfortunately, I don't think I will visit again. read more

Sabrina, is just an amazing hair stylist. I visited Sabrina back in April for a color correction, and let me tell you it was the best decision I've made! I started using black box hair dye for about 4-6 months, Sabrina came in and got me feeling amazing with my hair. After about 6 hours in the process of my color correction, Sabrina left my hair feeling the most healthiest after putting my hair to so much. I definitely recommend Sabrina, without a doubt she is such a nice and amazing hair god . She definitely made me feel safe, especially in a time like this due to COVID, she followed every precaution to make me feel safe and COVID safe. Thank you Sabrina !! read more

I met Sabrina through a mutual friend and she is an amazing colorist!! I've found my forever colorist. I admit, my color was not exactly the color I suggested, BUT she KNOWS what she is doing!! She puts together blends that work and I get soooo many compliments. I have a "reverse" balayage (as she put it lol) and I feel nothing short of sexy when I'm out. *I say as I flip my hair* Also, her scalp massage during the shampoo.... I've never had my scalp massaged like that during a shampoo! The whole experience is well worth the money. read more

This salon is unreliable. I booked an appointment with them three days in advance to have my hair done for an event I was going to. At first I was so happy that they still had availability on relatively short notice. But then, after sending not one but two confirmation emails, this salon called to cancel my appointment with less than 24 hours notice. They also did so so close to their closing time that I was unable to reach them to attempt to reschedule in time. They said that the stylist I had booked with had been out sick all week, but if that was the case why not cancel earlier? Why even let me book the appointment in the first place since I booked it that week? This salon has a 24 hour cancellation policy, yet they cancelled on me with fewer than 24 hours notice leaving me SOL before an event that was very important to me. I was excited about this salon, but due to this unreliability and appalling unprofessionalism I will never attempt to book with them again. I wish I could give them 0 stars since I received 0 service. UPDATE It turns out they called me earlier on the day they canceled my appointment, but I completely missed that call and didn't see it until they called me again this morning after I left this review. I still received a second confirmation email after the first call that I didn't see until now, so I still think their actions were a little misleading. And I think my point about them waiting until the day before my appointment to cancel for an employee who'd been out all week still stands. I still want nothing to do with them. read more
