This is one of the best hair salons I have experienced! The shampoo itself was amazing...I never experienced that much care when it came to someone handling my hair. I have a natural semi curly Afro and I saw Gerald ! He perfectly styles my hair & it has grown fuller and longer since he has styled it . Thank you guys so much, I am very happy and will continue to be a costumer. read more

Amazing amazing amazing. Hunter gave the BEST shampoo ever. Seriously. Nathan gave a wonderful consult, answering any questions I had, and the cut was exactly what we had discussed. Super easy to talk to as well. The receptionist was helpful, and so understanding when I showed up late (due to gps misguidance!). I'm psyched that this salon is in my new neighborhood! I will definitely be back :) read more

I've been a client for many years, originally referred by a friend. Michael Anthony has a relaxed atmosphere and I like the online scheduling options. They accept gratuity on credit cards. Da is my stylist. She takes my mood and social schedule into account when choosing color and technique. The shampoos are amazing. read more

First time here. Great service and very happy with the precautions they are taking during Covid.

I saw Kenneth for a partial balayage and haircut and had a great experience. The color looks great, my hair feels soft and the cut is exactly what I wanted. He explained to me throughout what exactly he was doing to my hair and was just a delight to talk to. The salon itself is small but feels very friendly. I sometimes get overwhelmed at salons but felt very comfortable here. Highly recommend read more

Wonderful balayage with Da! She helped me understand and feel comfortable with the process before starting. I'm loving my new hues! read more

Michael Anthony Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

1st visit today. I'm going to shave my head I got botched so terribly. I'm still in shock. I've never had a stylist (sic) completely not listen to me and charge me $54 for a 15 minute hitler haircut. read more

I don't ever post reviews on Yelp, I usually just use the reviews to figure out what businesses I will patronize. However, since it was based on the positive reviews for Michael Anthony Salon that I decided to go there I will post this review to hopefully save someone else the misery. It was at Michael Anthony Salon that I experienced the most traumatizing hair experience of my life due to extreme incompetence on the part of my hairdresser, Da. I am new to the area, originally from Houston, where I had been getting my hair done by the best professionals in the business every six weeks for the past ten years. Upon my move to DC I needed to find a new hairdresser and due to the outstanding praise on Yelp, I decided to come here. My hair had been platinum blonde for 8 years and only in the last two hair visits in Houston had I decided to add very few and very subtle (slightly darker blonde) lowlights to give my hair color some dimension. This is exactly what I wanted to maintain during my trip to Michael Anthony Salon. I even brought pictures so that my hair dresser, Da, would have multiple points of reference. I explained to her the history of my hair, what products had been used on it by prior hairdressers, what products I use now, and what look I wanted so there was no doubt about the end result that I desired. I explained that my hair has broken off in some areas due to being on Accutane for nine months (hair loss being a famous side effect of the drug), that it was not due to the bleach since my hair had never done that in the 8 years I had been bleaching it, and that I was no longer on the Accutane and so it was only now starting to grow back. Every hairdresser I have ever spoken to corroborated my story by telling me the pattern of hair loss was obviously due to hormones/drug and not due to bleach stress since they had very different patterns. Da didn't believe me and insisted that I shouldn't use any bleach on my head because she was "concerned about further damage", I reassured her this was not an issue and to clarify my vision asked if my hair would look like what I wanted and she said yes. She starts painting away at my head. Silly me, I assumed that she would be doing what I was paying her to do. However, after the shampoo I noticed my hair was black. She had gone way too heavy and way too dark with the lowlights. My hair, when dried, was a grey/black color. From platinum blonde. I was horrified. Turns out, she hadn't used ANY bleach on me and she heavy-handedly applied an ashy medium brown lowlight. According to the color experts that have always done my hair, given how light my hair was originally the brown spectrum should have NEVER been a thought. Medium blonde is as dark as any expert would have recommended. Also, you aren't supposed to put ash tones on platinum blondes because it creates a grey/green cast hence my end result. Cosmetology 101. She starts consoling me and telling me if it didn't lighten up that evening, that I could come back tomorrow for a color correction but that she had refused to put bleach on my hair due to potential damage. Ummmm wow. I leave in a rush and when I get home I burst into tears. Never in my life has something so awful happened to my hair. My fiancee, feeling sorry for me, called the salon immediately to schedule my color correction appointment the next day. I hopped in the shower and started using clarifying shampoo to help strip the color, but it barely made a difference. I washed it three times. The next day I go back in for my color correction and I had to tell her what to do to my hair. She still refused. WTF. She puts some trashy chunky highlights in my hair. She dries my hair off and my highlights are bright orange, she acts like it's fine and asks me if I like it. I said no, it's orange. She puts ANOTHER ASH TONER ON ME. I realize at this point, this is as good as this joke of a hairstylist can do so I accept it and immediately made an appointment with LuLu Sage in Alexandria (a REAL hair salon). In the meantime my hair looks skunky if I brush the highlights together and grey if I mix it in. The hairdresser at LuLu Sage tells me to start washing my hair with detergent to help strip the color and in a week she would fix me. I went to LuLu Sage and she did fix me. I'm FINALLY back to normal. Ultimately, Da was completely incompetent, not knowing basic color theory or customer service. If she had genuinely cared about the damage to my hair (which was unjustifiable anyways), she would have done what I originally asked which was put some Olaplex on my roots to bring them up to speed and then put a few carefully placed medium blonde lowlights throughout my hair. It was far more damaging to have done: lowlight, tone, strip color, highlight, tone, strip color with detergent, get heavy highlights to fix it. I got a Sports Clips-quality experience for an arm and a leg. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HAIR. This woman should have her license revoked. read more

After going through nothing short of a nightmare the last two months, I came to see Kendra. I have gone to Frizzles Salon in Old Town Alexandria for the past 3 years. I have silver roots and I have been talking about going gray. I had long dark beautiful hair until a stylist at Frizzles ruined it and my identity. She told me she could get my hair to the color of my roots and it would talk about 3 visits. Long story short, my hair was breaking like spaghetti within days of going through the "process". I got a consultation with Kendra and we decided together I would need it cut to a healthy length. Kendra was so compassionate as I cried. I felt as though she treated me as a friend. My cut is edgy, cute and I feel young. I was so afraid that I'd look older than I am with short gray hair. It was hard to trust another stylist after what has happened to me but I totally have faith in my new stylist Kendra! Never go to Frizzles in Old Town Alexandria! They will ruin you! read more

The Atmosphere: Personally, I prefer smaller salons with an edge over huge popular ones that run like factories with a million different people touching your hair, pushing you around from chair to chair. Michael Anthony Salon is modern and edgy but manages to maintain that small and cozy salon feel - which means personal attention for the clients alllll the way. Mickey and his staff always make you feel at home and are always happy to engage in a little gossip here and there if you're interested. The Product: I've stuck with Mickey for a few years now because his cuts are fantastic. Most of the time you don't even realize how good the cut is until a week or two later - they grow out and sit perfectly. Coloring is great too, Mickey is really good about listening to what you are asking for and picking up on both nervous and wild sides and can go in any direction. He also takes a lot of pride in the products he uses. The Cost: This salon's price-point is right on. Cuts and Coloring are on par with other mid-level shops around the city. This ain't no Bubbles so don't be expecting $35 haircuts, but if you take pride in your hair and are used to saving up a few bucks for a good cut, Michael Anthony Salon will work for you. read more

I've definitely had better haircuts. I specifically requested the owner (Mickey) thinking that I would get something out of this world and I didn't. First, I filled out a questionnaire with a bunch of different questions, then I sat down in the chair and he asked me the exact same questions I just answered. Not a big deal, but a little annoying. I also wrote down that I would like to talk about different styles I could do with my type of hair. That was never addressed (another indicator that he never read the sheet I filled out). Again, not a big deal, but when you are paying top dollar, you expect attention to detail. Now the reasons I will definitely not be back: First, he charged me more because I have long hair. Who does that? ESPECIALLY because all I wanted was a trim. If you cut two inches off someone with medium length hair or two inches off someone with long hair, what the heck is the difference? You're still only cutting two inches. Even if I was getting a super complicated cut, it's absurd that you would charge people by the inch, but it's really extra ridiculous because I only got a trim. If you're thinking that he spent extra time combing through my hair you'd be wrong because I did it myself. Second, he asked me if I usually blow dry my hair, which I do not, so I said no. I guess he took that as he didn't have to do any extra work. He didn't ask me if I wanted HIM to blow dry my hair. He didn't even offer (it comes with the cut), he just assumed that because I don't do it on a regular basis, I didn't want it. Less work for him, of course he doesn't care. Especially since there was a young woman already waiting for him to fix her hair (she had already been in and came back to get it fixed). For this lackluster two inch trim, with no blow dry, no attention to detail, him not even having to bother to comb my hair, give me the advice I asked for, and rushing me out of the chair to attend to another client, I paid over $80 PLUS tip. Beyond absurd. read more

Had the world's crappiest day (don't even get me started) and had a haircut scheduled for this place (found on Yelp). Almost cancelled because I needed to get to a bottle of wine (or five) stat, but glad I didn't. A few people talked about the salon running behind, but I came a bit early for my appt. and was able to get right in the chair. Consuela washed my hair and gave a head massage that was amazing and relaxing (is there a service just for that? I might do that daily...). Then onto my stylist--Jonathan--who was friendly and totally GOT ME from moment one. Here's me: a crazy amount of curly hair and somewhere between zero and less-than-zero desire to have a "routine" that involves anything other than shower, add-product-while-wet, then walk away. I give new meaning to low-maintenance, and my PET PEEVE is hair stylists who give you a cut that you have to do CRAZY amounts of work on and use a billion products. Screw that. But I love having great curly hair. It's a hard-knock life. At any rate, Jonathan gave a great cut that took the weight off my hair and revitalized curls and is easy to maintain. He was also lovely and personable and a joy to work with. I'll be going back. read more

My experience was great and everyone was nice, but I got one of the worst haircuts of my life. I went in with collarbone length hair and asked for a long angled bob with long, blended layers. I left with a chin length bob with significant chunks of hair missing from the sides. This haircut required significant repair by another stylist at another salon. read more

Worst hair salon experience! I was very disappointed with the customer service experience I had at Michael Anthony's. My appointment was on 1/15/16 at 4pm with Kendra. I had a consultation the previous week to discuss what was to be done at my appointment. I also had called during the week to leave a note that I was interested in not just a purple color dye but a mix of purple and pink. I was offered water in a glass when I arrived and Kendra invited me to sit and get my highlights ready. She told me she got my note and did not bring any purple color because I had requested pink which was not entirely true. She started putting on my highlights and I asked her some questions trying to make small talk. She was very short and then quiet. I thought perhaps she was just focused. So after several attempts to chat I ceased believing Kendra was just into her work. She worked on my highlights and then I moved from her chair so she could work with another client. After she hadn't been chatty with me, she met her other client and I heard them making pleasantries and small talk which I was not offered. It almost felt personal but I tried to shrug it off. Gilma, one of the shampoo assistants washed my hair and was very sweet and kind. I sat under the dryer for a bit and then Kendra asked me back to her chair. She had mixed the color she was going to add and it was very pink, bright magenta. I asked if it could be more purple and she went to mix it some more. She came back with a slightly darker color and I asked if that was as purple as she could get it because she hadn't brought any purple dye. She said if it mixed any darker it would be opaque and not pastel. Which I understood, but she had a condescending tone. She asked me harshly if I was having second thoughts. I replied saying I thought it would be fine as long as it wasn't too crazy. Kendra said, oh it'll be crazy! She was not trying to make me feel confident and comfortable. That is my ultimate complaint. She starting doing the color, again with no pleasantries exchanged. I asked if she could leave some hair on the top so I could cover up some purple if it was too bright. She curtly said that was fine. But she finished my color and told me I was to sit for at least 30 mins for the color to be on as long as it could. At this time it was after 6 and my appointment was estimated to be over by 6. So it was running over. She asked if I wanted anything to drink, I asked for water. She grabbed the same cup I had used at the beginning of the appointment that had been sitting out for quite some time and it was full of hair... I sat with the color on for 45 mins. But the foam pieces used to hold the color were in my face and it was getting very warm. I wasn't comfortable, confident in the work because of her attitude and very hot. Thankfully Gilma and the other shampoo assistant saw me uncomfortable and she came to alert Kendra she thought my color was done sitting. Kendra told Gilma to rinse my hair and condition it, but NOT to wash it, then to place me under the dryer again. Kendra was addressing Gilma directly, not me, but I don't blow dry my hair so I asked Kendra if I needed to be under the dryer again because I usually let it dry naturally. With an annoyed look, she told me it was to see the color results before I left... Gilma rinsed my hair and did ask if I was feeling better. She was so sweet. Although she did end up shampooing my hair which Kendra had asked her NOT to do because she wanted the color to saturate as long as possible. I was directed back to the dryer for over 10 mins, Kendra was now trimming a young girls hair. I came from under the dryer, not wanting it to be completely dry. I sat thinking Kendra would brush or comb my hair at least before I was done. Kendra turned to me, told me,"You're good to go Erin....." I stood and thanked her for working with me and being flexible because I was a bit nervous, she quickly replied, "I know. Hair looks good." Didn't look at my hair like she said she would, didn't even touch it, nothing. I went to the counter and paid. What an awful customer service experience from a well known, upscale salon. Overall including tip the bill was $197. For any price I would have been unhappy with my experience. I was sure to tip Ms.Gilma specifically for her sweet nature and of course tipped Kendra but I was very unhappy how I was treated and made feel insecure about my appointment. My hair looks fine. The highlights are good except a few chunky pieces that need to be touched up. The purple looked great at first but after 2 washes has faded. Overall my experience was unsatisfactory, particularly because how I was treated by my stylist. I like my stylists to be personable and kind, and try to make me fee good about the work they're doing to my hair. At least fake it for the customer service experience I think Michael Anthony strives for. Kendra did no such thing. read more

Let me say first that the way they dealt with me after I was unhappy with my haircut was more than fair. In a world where customer service is disappearing, Mickey, the owner, went above and beyond. He listened to me, took time to look at my hair and tinker with it to fix it as best he could, and he refunded my money. That said, I'm not sure that getting my money back really makes up for my extremely bad haircut and the fact that Hunter, my stylist, basically did the opposite of what I asked for. I called the salon after reading all the good reviews on Yelp and left a message on their machine saying I was interested in a haircut, but only if they had someone who knew how to work with my loosely curly hair (3a/b-ish). They called me back, I reiterated my desire to work with someone who was good with loose curls, and they booked me with Hunter. At first I was impressed with him. He really listened to me, and he was very accommodating about my multiple allergies to hair products. He rinsed my hair instead of shampooing, so as not to cause me a reaction, and he suggested homemade treatments that I might be able to tolerate. The cut we agreed on was just a trim to my below-shoulder-length hair. I agreed to have a bit more layering put in, but to have the layers longer in back, and slightly shorter around my face, to just below my chin. As he was cutting my hair, Hunter stopped to attend to another client who was having a process done. I had noted that this bothered one of the other reviewers, so I expected it. I didn't mind. What I did mind was that he seemed to lose his place and started cutting back at the beginning, making hair he had already cut even shorter. The cut I ended up with had nothing to do with what we discussed and showed that he hadn't the slightest idea of how to work with curly hair. Hunter cut my top layers quite short, causing them to shrink much more than my lower layers. He also cut a large amount of my hair into one, very pronounced layer around my ears, leaving the rest of my hair (maybe two thirds to one half) straggling down to my shoulders. The fact that most of my hair is the same length halfway down my head makes it bunch up and poof out around my ears. The best way I can describe the end result to you is that it's like one of those short, puffy, 80's, triangle haircuts, but modified into a mullet. He did cut the layers around my face to around my chin. However, the layers get shorter around the sides and back of my head, so that if you look at the side of my head, the very obvious, pronounced line of hair inclines at about a twenty degree angle toward the back of my head. Also, there is a weird, missing chunk of hair on the left side - think hole in a Christmas tree. This isn't a weird cowlick or odd curl pattern problem -- I've never seen anything like this before in my life. Later when I talked to Mickey about it, he put me in his chair and tried to trim around the missing chunk to make the edges softer and less pronounced. He happened to pull out a lock of hair on either side to make sure the cut was symmetrical. The two sections differed in length by about a quarter to a half an inch. A brief, annoyed expression crossed his face, he snipped the offending bit of hair, got me out of the chair, and gave me a refund. Several hours later, my husband asked what they had put in my hair, because there was a very strong perfume smell. I had written down on my intake sheet and had told both Hunter and Mickey that I couldn't tolerate fragrances, essential oils, or salon products. They promised that the only thing they put in my hair was water. The only way I can guess how I ended up with perfumed product in my hair is that either the "just water" that Hunter sprayed in my hair (and in my face) wasn't, or that the combs they used on me had not been cleaned and had product residue from other customers. My face was rash-y the next day, which never happens to me unless I am using a new product I'm allergic to. I vacillated on whether to write this review because Mickey went above and beyond to make it right, and I didn't want to pay him back for his decency by making trouble for him. I finally decided to post my experience because I considered the possibility that this had happened to others, and they had chosen to keep quiet, leading me to trust the good reviews and have horrible, weird layers that will take the better part of a year to grow out. I didn't want that to happen to others. Everyone has bad days, but the fact that I was assigned to Hunter, who clearly doesn't know the first thing about how curly hair acts, that he did the exact opposite of what I asked, and that I wound up with allergy-inducing fragrance in my hair makes me think that this may not be a rare case of bad luck. They might be great for people with straight hair. Maybe everyone but Hunter is wonderful. You should make your own decision, but I feel obligated to share just how it went for me. read more

I needed a new salon in DC and found this one. Since it had good reviews, I thought I'd give it a shot. I went in for a trim and a few layers and saw Nathan (?). Nothing too exciting - the salon was fine, the staff were fine, the products were fine, etc. Unfortunately when I got home, I realized the blow-out was hiding a 2-INCH DISCREPANCY between the hair on my left side and the hair on my right side. I have long hair so a small mistake would've been okay but this was ABSURDLY noticeable. It was too late to go back in so I ended up having to cut my hair myself before work the next day. I mean, it was ridiculous. It's hard enough to find time to get to a salon for a cut - it's completely unnecessary to have to go back a second time to get such silly mistakes corrected. NO thank you. I should note the woman who washed my hair was fantastic and kind. read more

Update: within hours of my original review I had an email from the owner apologizing for the fact that I was anything less than thrilled, and pro-actively taking steps to solve the problem. Frankly, I was completely blown away by that level of excellent customer service. I expected perhaps a response post on yelp, (which you can see here), but was truly moved by the prompt email, level of detail in the owner's reply to my review, and the substantial steps taken by Mickey to satisfy me as a client. It does mean a lot that he cares about his clients and specifically addressed my concerns as opposed to firing off a form letter or staying silent. I feel Mickey has gone above and beyond to PROVE that customers' satisfaction is the ultimate goal, rather than just stating that fact. Obviously I'm impressed, as a business owner myself, in a world where exceptional customer service is very hard to find. After reading Mickey's email I felt relieved, but was hesitant to return to the salon for a consultation or color correction/enhancement simply because it can be a very uncomfortable situation post-negative review. I replied that I was satisfied by his email and the offer for a second visit, but that I wouldn't hold him to that if he thinks another salon would be a better fit for me. (Though he never asked, I made clear that I'd update my review because if the steps he'd already taken.) Rather than accept the opportunity to put this to rest while avoiding any confrontation with an unhappy client, he insisted I come in so that he could earn my business in the future. I like the level of confidence Mickey displayed. He is certain that his salon represents the cream of the crop on the Hill and he would jump at the chance to prove it. I felt he earned the chance to win me over, so back in I went to see him. He's extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about hair. Of course, he did an excellent job with my color and has won another client for the foreseeable future. I was not uncomfortable at any point, and Da even stopped to say "hi" and to apologize that there had been some miscommunication during my first appointment. That's huge to me because no one would choose to get pampered while uncomfortably avoiding eye-contact with another stylist, etc. Mickey and his team intentionally took steps to made certain that I felt welcomed and appreciated. At this point I'd absolutely recommend this salon. You're supporting the best aspects of local businesses by coming here and I wish the team continued success. read more

I found this salon on Yelp and I was not disappointed. Getting an appointment was a breeze, and their prices are very competitive. Hunter did a great job cutting my hair, and everyone at the salon was exceptionally friendly and smiling (quite a rarity in DC). I will definitely be back. read more

My experience at this salon is that it often feels cramped and stuffy. They also used products on me (Paul Mitchell, for example) that I could get myself at a discount store. Not super happy, given the prices they charge for services. But I liked my stylist. read more

I just moved to DC and was nervous about finding a new hair dresser. I went to my previous hair dresser in Florida for over 10 years, so finding someone good was important. I did my research by reading a lot of reviews and decided to go with Michael Anthony. I ended up having an appointment with Hunter and LOVED it! He colored my hair and gave it a cut - both of which I was impressed with. He gave me suggestions (which I took), but wasn't too pushy. Also, the price was extremely well for DC. If your new to town or looking for someone new, I recommend Hunter! read more

I was just there a few weeks back for a hair cut (went from long hair to medium-length). My stylist was Kenneth Boozer who was, in a word, spectacular. Not only was he the sweetest and most pleasant-to-talk to stylist I have been to in a long time, but he did a GREAT job with my hair. I am not exaggerating - I love it. Everyone loves it. Kenneth measured down to every strand of hair to make sure it was even. I will absolutely be going back. Thanks, all!! read more

Nathan's great--ever since moving to DC I have not been able to find a replacement stylist for my beloved stylista in SF. Nathan stepped in to fill a hole in my heart. He gave me a lovely do and talked me out of an ugly do. I have super fine, thin, not super fabulous hair and I always struggle with "styling" it in any way that doesn't involve a bun or ponytail. Nathan gave me a super cute, super easy, real "hairstyle" and made me look like an actual real professional woman! He's friendly and kick-back and provides great hair advice with an adorable southern twang. read more

Mickey gave me a very mediocre haircut here a few months back. He was friendly and welcoming, but I spent only 20 minutes in the chair, of which about 8 minutes was spent talking. Not talking about the cut I wanted, but about politics, the Hill, etc. And during the talking period, there was no cutting. So I spent $60 for a haircut that literally took 12 minutes from start to end. I don't mind the money--my next cut at a different salon was the same price--but I felt like Mickey put very little time, effort, or thought into the haircut, and it showed. I'd give the haircut 3 stars--it wasn't a disaster, just average or a bit below. But at this price, that doesn't cut it. So 2.5 seems right. read more

A Lot Of Hair! Due to a career change I had to get 6 inches of hair cut off. Was looking for a great haircut and this place came recommended. Pros: 1. Making an appointment online. That was a great bonus because I was setting it up while they were closed. You can choose your stylist, view their schedule and choose a time that works for you. 2. They show they care. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted with a big smile and a hearty hello. My coat was taken and hung up for me and I was asked if I wanted anything to drink. 3. They take their time. I am probably easier than most because I told my stylist Jonathan to do whatever he wanted. All the same he gave me an outline and took his time cutting my hair. It may have been the longest haircut I've ever had. (there was a lot to remove)In the end I received one of the best, if not the best haircut to date. 4. Parking was not all that hard to find and if you get a spot outside of Eastern Market its cheap. (relative to Wash D.C.) 5. They have some weekend hours so you don't have to miss work to get a great haircut. Cons: Wish they were closer to me. (not their fault) The best recommendation I can make is that I will make the hour drive to go back. The experience and the haircut was that good. read more

I've been going to Mickey (aka Michael Anthony) for years, so when he told me he was branching out on his own and opening his own salon, I was thrilled. Not only does the whole salon reflect his attitude - adventurous yet classic, fun yet poised - but it's also right near Eastern Market on the Hill. Even with the people coming into check out his new place & congratulate him, he had the same wonderful focus on his clients, including me. My blonde highlights are bright and shiny and people have come up to me on the Metro and tell me they like my cut (short bob with a twist). The best thing about Mickey is that when I want to shake things up, he always takes care of me. So glad he has a new home! read more

I was referred to this salon by friends, who recommended it highly and get their haircut here all the time. However I received the worst haircut of my life from here and was told to just wait until it grows out by my hairdresser. One should leave a hairdresser happy with the way their hair looks, not being told that it'll look better eventually when whatever they did to it grows out. I have bangs and they cut my bangs way above my eyebrows, in the middle of my forehead actually. I think because they cut them while they were wet and didn't take into account them drying and looking ridiculous. I will now have to wait at least a month before I can enjoy my hair. For now I have to hide out with this hideous bowl cut, bang in the middle of my forehead look, when all I wanted was a nice trim. read more

I just moved here from Chicago not too long ago. I screwed up and went to a hair cuttery. Not all of them are bad but a specific stylist screwed my hair up! I needed to find a new stylist to go to. I made a spur of the moment appointment with Jonathan Jackson. Man am I glad I did! He fixed my hair!! I'm now a customer for life, or until my employer decides to move me again. I highly recommend Jonathan! read more

So they cancelled on me once when i was 10 minutes late and i vowed never to go back, so i havent been for a while. Well i forgot about my vow until i was almost there today and suddenly i was very upset. Id been a customer for a few years and it didnt seem right. But i have to say, if you have textured or curley hair, there is no one better than Colin. Seriously. The man understands shape, volume and balance unlike anyone. So i left very happy. My hair looks amazing. read more

Michael Anthony Salon isn't afraid to do edgier, trendy cuts and color in a town that has about as much edge as a butter knife. Collin is fantastic. He gave me the exact blunt bob I asked for when I showed him a picture. He was also incredibly friendly. It wasn't awkward haircut chatter small talk. He genuinely made it a fun time. When I styled my hair the next day it looked sleek and smooth, easy to style and was the perfect length. I'll be back! read more

I want to tell you to go to this salon, and to request Da. She had a hot pink pixie cut when I went in, but I doubt it'll be the same for long. She transformed my fine, limp, wavy hair into the big curly masterpiece I asked for, and she took her time, talked to me a lot, and really cared about doing a good job and making me happy. I have paid far more for much less care and consideration from other hair stylists. If you're on the Hill, I cannot recommend Da enough. Here's a place where you can get a reasonably priced haircut you can be proud of. read more

Best of the best: very skilled stylists (I go to Da), soothing (amazing) hair washes, friendly staff and a low-key, clean, modern atmosphere. This is quite a treasure tucked away in the Eastern Market neighborhood! read more

LOVED my haircut with Collin today! I have fine, straight hair and walked out with a beautiful cut. It's exactly what I had hoped for! Lots of body and style. Collin is a doll; I really enjoyed my chat with him. The staff was great and the head massage was awesome. Try Collin out! I will be back soon. read more

I've lost nearly 1/3 of my hair in the past 6 months and have felt less than pretty to say the least. I walked past Michael Anthony Salon and saw the sign for extensions. Having never thought about them before but hoping it could help me feel more confident, I went in to talk to someone. I met Hunter. He walked me through the process and agreed that they would give me the look that I was hoping for. Today I was lucky enough to get to spend the day with him as he patiently and thoughtfully placed all 150 extensions in my hair. Not only did I genuinely enjoy my day with my new favorite stylist, but I feel like a princess and can't stop playing with my new beautiful hair! Thank you Hunter! You did an amazing job! I'm so happy to have finally found my Salon! read more

I previously lived in DC and couldn't for the life of me find a good stylist. I would just go back to Atlanta to the stylist I knew. However, my hair was becoming unmanageable, so I found the great reviews online for Michael Anthony Salon and took a chance with Gerald. I COULD NOT have been happier with the results! He did an incredible job, giving me a cut that caused my usual limp locks to have amazing body! He's definitely made me a repeat customer! read more

Da has given me the best haircut of my life! I've always struggled with my thick, wavy high-maintenance hair, but Da has worked some kind of miracle. She's super friendly and very collaborative in her styling - always asks before making a major decision. Her balayage skills are second to none! I love that I can book my appointment on their website, too. read more

I just got a haircut by Nathan and it is amazing. It is exactly what I wanted...but better lol. It is easy to communicate with him about what kind of haircut you want and he's really nice. He showed me some tricks to make doing my hair at home easier. He also showed me what products he used, and I will probably go back to purchase them soon. It was a great experience...one that is definitely not guaranteed by going to just any salon. Prices are reasonable for the area and the service. read more

Nathan works miracles! I had gone to an aveda salon and they gave me a haircut that looked like a 5 year old had cut it. Literally the first sentence that had come out of the stylist's mouth was "s&*t I think I messed up." Nathan was able to fix it and gave me an amazing do. And, he was super sweet! :) read more

I just got home from my appointment with Nathan, and he was fantastic! He took great care in listening to what I was saying (mainly that I don't re-highlight often so i needed subtle highlights that would grow out well and that I don't style my hair at all) and gave me beautiful highlights and a great cut that will be prefect for my "shower, brush, and go" lifestyle. I'd recommend Nathan and the salon to anyone, and I feel very comfortable going back and knowing that I'll look great. read more

Been in DC for over 3 years, and I finally found my go-to salon! I made a same day appointment with Jonathon, who had a cancellation. Was greeted at the door by the owner who took my coat and offered me a drink. I had a great shampoo and one of the best haircuts I've ever had. Less than an hour later, I was out the door and on my way with a beautiful blowout. read more

Only update is that Hunter no longer works in DC and is only at Michael Anthony every 6 weeks, with a waitlist. He's still great if you can get in to see him! read more
