I had my first appointment with Collin this weekend. The local listserv recommended him and I'm so…read morehappy they did! My old stylist has decided on a new career path, and it's always scary to find someone new. Collin was great about listening to my concerns about my hair, and delivered a cute fresh style and styling tips I can duplicate at home easily. Getting an appointment was easy, and everyone at the salon was friendly and kind. It's so conveniently located and if you go on a weekend you kind of have to stop by the Eastern Market booths, which is a bonus in my book!

My hair was getting extremely unruly so I decided to come here. This is my fourth time and I always…read morereceive great service: twice from Da, twice from Adriana. Da: amazing at balayage and free-styling haircuts. She is talented and brings your hair back alive. Adriana: listens to what you want and gives you exactly what you're looking for. I love coming to her for my in-between trims!! Shampoo station team: you'll get a warm hair wash and conditioning as well as a scalp massage. Mmmm. Staff is friendly and the place is always clean and well ventilated. I love that there is natural coming through the windows and it's in a good neighborhood. There's a reason why they're voted "Best of DC" :)

Believe it or not, I haven't been to a hair salon since before the pandemic in 2020. (Since the…read morepandemic, I cut it at home.) However, I didn't have time to do it myself so I decided to book an appointment at this spot in the old Bubbles space. It was easy to book online the same day.

It was a nice salon but not stuffy at all (very hard vibe to find on Capitol Hill). The staff was friendly and just as my sister (who recommended me due to her excellent haircut by Jeffrey), their service was fantastic. The prices were good and the quality was better. I waited nearly a year in DC because I was afraid someone would mess up my hair, but JaNia did excellent and I will be back! Thanks again to all their staff for making me feel welcome and beautiful!

After trying too many disappointing salons in DC, I finally found a gem in Alisa at Bravado Salon!…read moreI have thick, multi-textured, complicated hair but Alisa took the time to talk to me about it and instantly knew how to cut and style it beautifully, as well as offer recommendations for how to keep it healthy and smooth. I am equally impressed with Alisa's skill as a colorist. She knows her stuff and worked with me to create great color without over-processing. Bravado is a no-frills salon that focuses on friendly service and top-rate services at reasonable prices. For the first time in years, I look forward to my hair appointments as Alisa is also a delightful, warm person with great energy who takes pride and joy in her work, and in connecting with her clients. Do yourself and your hair a favor and head over to Bravado Salon in Capitol Hill!

I wash and wear, no frills, and he gave me something that looks good and is easy to maintain. SO thankful. Up front and reasonable pricing, no issues. Happy to find my new person in DC!

I have been coming to Doan to get my hair done for about 3 years now and I am always so happy with…read moreher work. I get a cut/highlights and I am always so impressed by her coloring work. Before I went to Doan, I went to some high-end salon and spent about 1/3 of my paycheck for okay results. I decided to try Doan in search of a more affordable way to keep up with my blonde highlight habit, and I am so happy I found her. The salon itself is lovely and I am always impressed by how much Doan gets done in a day. She is a one woman powerhouse. My blonde hair is healthy and stylish in Doan's hands.

Doan is super nice and i enjoyed having her bleach my hair for me. I came in asking for grey…read morehighlights and despite her bleaching my hair 2x it came out more of an ashy brown (which I was fine with). She did a great job on the bleaching and it's not damaged at all. The main gripe I have is that the dye she put on top washed out after one wash with purple shampoo, something that had never happened to me before when I had gotten my hair balayaged elsewhere in the past (nor when I'd gotten it toned every two months). She'd recommended using overtone conditioner--unfortunately, the silver overtone conditioner did nothing except give my hair a green twinge (looks a lot like hay currently.) When I panicked and told Doan about this she was kind and offered me useful advice--clarifying shampoo, which I hadn't thought about--and relayed the brand of dye she used so I wouldn't have an alternative salon use it on me in the future. Sadly, only two weeks after getting my hair done I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get it fixed, hence the three stars. :(

She is a master at the…read moreart of hair cutting and Jaylen was phenomenal with styling and really understanding my hair's unique needs.

Do not recommend this salon for multiple reasons: 1) they…read moreare flat out not competent at color or haircuts (see photos). For those of you who prefer to be styled like a wild tiger (stripes and crooked hair), this place is for you. 2) they push their wannabe ouai (same pronunciation but different product) brand on you to buy for outrageous prices. I need a hair cut, not a Sephora ad in my face. 3) the prices are not commensurate with their skills or products and the customer service is tone deaf e.g., why would I want to let them "fix" my hair when they were the one who created the problem? Unfortunately they refused to give me any refund (aside from the money back they charged me for time not spent) and my chase sapphire credit card was no help to recoup any of the costs. I had to shell out an additional $300 to remedy the unfortunate hair situation they created. Save your money and go somewhere with stylists who know what they're doing.

But, sadly, I ended up with the worst haircut I've had since middle school. I had (sniffle) long hair that fell to the middle of my back. I asked the stylist to cut about three inches (I showed what I meant by 3 inches with my fingers), and asked for long layers. I ended up with a very short blunt cut that is essentially shoulder length. It is not flattering and there's not much I can do to fix it; I will just need to wait for it to grow. I certainly will not be back.
