This hair salon / barber shop is in the same building with Quizno's, SoHo Cafe, and Green Leaf's / Soup Nutsy. It's actually right across the hallway from Green Leaf's / Soup Nutsy. I've noticed other people in military uniforms going in here for haircuts before, and they have a sign out front that advertises $10 for military haircuts. Normally I get my hair cut near my home on the weekends, but yesterday I was in a hurry to a meeting with an admiral and desperately needed a haircut, so I decided to give Ono a try. I was not disappointed. I walked right in with no appointment. There were two ladies working, but only one had a customer. I sat right down in the other ladies' chair and she got to work. An Air Force LtCol came in and saw the chairs were both occupied, so he talked to the lady who was cutting my hair and told her that he'd be back. The way he talked to her and she recognized him gave me the impression he was a regular, so that boosted my confidence in her abilities. She did a great job cutting my hair. She didn't dilly dally and got the job done fairly quick. But then... any of you military types who have been to the Western Pacific before will remember the haircuts there. I wanted to go get my haircut every day in Okinawa not because my hair grew that fast, but because of the scalp and neck massage they gave you at the end of your haircut. Yep, for $10 here at Ono Salon, they'll cut your hair and give you a warm towel massage on the back of your neck (that's almost worth $10 in and of itself if you ask me!). So if you're in the north end of Crystal City and looking for a place to get your haircut, give Ono Salon a try. (Then go across the hall to the Soup Nutsy and get some awesome soup and a sandwich! :-) ). read more

20 days later, still waiting for my hair to recover. Worst barber ever. Her aggressive clipper cuts hurt and ruined my hair. Never go here. read more

This place gave me one of the worst haircuts I've had in the past 12 months. My hair was very uneven and it quickly became a pain in the ass to style it. I don't plan to go back. A couple positives though: 1. The cutters are extremely nice. Also, the one that cut my hair took 45 minutes to do it. She seemed to pay a lot of attention to detail, but sadly that attention still didn't produce a good haircut. 2. It is cheap by DC standards- 13 bucks. And I think military cuts are 12 now. Not the bargin it used to be. read more

I'm picky about haircuts and I have Asian hair. I've been to this place twice and I really like their service and the way they cut hair. They increased their prices to $10 a haircut however that's still better then a crappy cut from some haircut chain. There's definitely an attention to detail. After talking with them, they said that Mondays and Fridays are busy. So check this place out if you need a cut. read more

Meh! That's what I think after my haircut here about 2 weeks ago. I went in the middle of the day and the Asian lady there was not very friendly and didn't really listen when I told her what I wanted for a haircut. I'm not too picky and just needed a short (military-ish style) haircut. She literally finished my haircut in just over 5 minutes with no real attention to detail. When she finished I had to tell her again about what I wanted and she argued with me over what I had said! There were quite a few straggling hairs after she was done and I had to touch those up at home. Just went to another shop right off the Red Line at Vann Ness-UDC and got a wonderful haircut. The guy who cut my hair asked who had screwed up my last haircut. 'Nuf said. About a 3-star haircut...minus 1 star for the lack of customer service. read more

Well - I'm a guy, so take this for whats it worth when it comes rating a 'salon'. As Kevin S. said, walk in and sat down - the lady (I didn't get a name!) started work right away - with small chit chat "how are you" and all that. An Airforce Lt. Colonel (as far as I can tell from the little experience I have had reading ranks quickly) sat down right away and the other lady started with him. She did an incredibly thorough job - much more so than any fantastic sams or super cuts would have done. I went down from my desk at 1:11 and I'm done writing this review at 1:32 - so very quick! The towel massage was nice, but I just wish I could have gotten a quick rinse to ensure all the hair was removed - nothing sucks more than sitting at a desk with my neck itching - but the towel got most of it. Good place, they will be my new monthly haircut. 13$ with tip. read more

I have photos of my favorite cut; the stylist here is awesome at replicating the look. She's fast and efficient about getting the cut done, and at a very reasonable price ($25 for a ladies cut), too. Overall, I'm a happy, returning customer. read more

Been going to the place for months and it's great. I usually call ahead to check on the availability and if it's busy so you don't make the trip when there is a line. I go for the men's cut at $15 which is fair for the DC area. It takes 15 minutes and I just tell her exactly how I want it. She does buzz instead of scissors on the top so minus a star for that. Overall this is a great place for a quick mens haircut in pentagon city. I recommend parking on the street because the parking garage isn't free and the parking outside is all for businesses. read more

Most of the reviews on here are really old, so I'm providing a current one. The service is great. The prices are lowest in the area for a haircut. I recommend it. Just be sure to bring a Visa card or cash; no AMEX. read more

Probably more of a 4.5 star review. Ono Salon is back open under new management. Please go here because it is probably one of the better cuts I have had in the DC area so far and I want it to stay open! Men's cut is somehow still only $15. No obvious forced chit-chat and use of both scissors and the buzzer for the sides is always a plus for me. Loses a half a star because I like to see excessive use of barbercide on everything (yeah, I said excessive). I also wish she would extend her hours to 6pm on one or two weekdays. All in all, this is my go to place for haircuits now. read more

I don't know where they went- I've been needing a cut, and they've been on vacation since June! I've been assuming that their vacation meant going back to the motherland for a visit- and I know usually the visits to the motherland usually go for at least a month or two- but THREE months??? PLEASE COME BACK, I NEED ANOTHER HAIRCUT!!!!!! read more

I have been getting my haircut here for several months from Mr. Kim (an older Korean gentleman) and he never disappoints. He might not speak a lot of English but he will remember your face and there is never any confusion. Although the name says 'salon' and it looks like a normal salon the work done here is more like a classical barbershop. The prices as of this post are something like 12 for military cuts and 15 for 'style' cuts. I don't get a military cut so don't think they only know how to use the trimmer. As someone mentioned this is a scissors and straight blade kind of place and if you have never had that done, or a 10 minute neck massage for that matter, than you are missing out. The trimming around the neck line is done with the electrical trimmer followed by the straight razor and a warm towel. The massage really makes you look forward to a haircut. read more

-What I paid for: A traditional men's haircut, been 2 months. 4/5 on the sides, box cut and take a little off the top. -What I got: I left with noticeably uneven sides, uneven trim around the ears and uneven on the top. Basically, she did a half a$$ job and I needed to get my wife to re-trim the back and sides because once my hair was ruffled you it was sticking out. I would expect this if I was paying $8-10 but at 15 with the courtesy tip. I'll find somewhere else. -Atmosphere: The lady was mild mannered, wasn't really expressive verbally and the clientele were middle aged military guys. I was a newbie and I think that may be part of why I received sub par service. -Conclusion: Wouldn't go here again, feel ripped off... read more

Absolute worst haircut of my life. Asked the Asian lady with long blond curly hair for a trim. She asked if I wanted any face framing layers- I thought, why not? I've been getting face framing layers off and on for years. HUGE mistake. She clearly had no idea what she was doing. My layers are completely uneven, and cut 2 inches back into my hair - that is NOT a face frame, more like shoulder frame. It is going to take me a full year to grow out this horrible disaster. I am typically not a fan of poor reviews, but I feel I must warn people - don't let this place ruin your hair. read more

The worst haircut in years! Before we started, I showed the barber a picture of mine so that she could do a similar cut. However, it seems that she didn't follow it at all. In the end, she cut almost all my hair, saying that "you haven't cut your hair for two months, right? Because it's so long." The truth is, I cut my hair 28 days ago! Moreover, she also seemed to disrespect my home country. To summarize: go to this place only if you want to look funny and unprofessional. read more

Poor place! Paid $50 here and didn't even shampoo my hair and blowdry after. I'm the one who blowdried my hair bec it was wet from water hair spray. I haven't been in a salon that doesn't blow dry hair! Very frustrating!! Don't go there!!!! read more

Ono salon is a great hair cut option for folks who live or work in Crystal City. The young lady cut my hair with ease. No mess ups at all. Only cost $17 for a non-military cut. read more

Oh No! Ono Salon is closed! Major bummer, now I have to go back to the Pentagon barbers. After $11 and 2.5 minutes in the chair I always leave feeling sort of dirty. read more

I came as a walk in & this place was great. $15 for a haircut including a neck and sideburn shave with a razor and a quite pleasant hot towel massage. Worth every penny and then some. Will definitely go back. read more

I read the reviews and came here on a business trip. A lady named Sun cut my hair and to be honest, I wish she'd move to my home town! She "one upped" my barber! I recommend it! read more

Love it! I'm just a normal dude with a normal haircut. Not a military haircut or anything, but longer. My only requirements to consider a haircut adequate are that it's shorter than it was before the haircut and that it looks reasonably presentable for a business environment. Despite these basic requirements, Hair Cuttery seems to mess it up every time. After the last two visits to HC, I was annoyed. Both times my haircut was annoyingly bad and the second time the sides were not cut. They brushed it so it looked cut on the sides, but it kept falling weird and I felt like I was out of an 80s movie or something. Terrible. Found Ono on Yelp and Foursquare and decided to try it out. Priced the same as Hair Cuttery at $15. Saw a bunch of military guys walking out and noticed that military haircuts were only $12. Went in and sat down and the lady got right down to business. Asked me a couple questions and went to work. No nonsense and very confident. I didn't have to make any chit chat or answer endless questions about the cut. She was really good at her job, and after she vacuumed my head and shoulders! No dealing with annoying hairs falling randomly for the rest of the evening. Great prices and the hair cutter I got was legitimately good at it. I will definitely be back. read more

Eh.. The haircut was alright. I've had better going to Great Clips. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice haircut.

Was in the DC area and needed to get a haircut. Got one of the best haircuts in recent years and if you're military it costs $12.
