I love Jai. She's my favorite person and a very talented stylist. I've watched some of the other stylist and I think they're all good.

Popped in while in town on a business trip - well worth the stop. All the DryBars in DC had bad reviews so checked it out! Jas did awesome on my long curly hair and if I'm in town again - I'll pop into DuPont to get my blow out here! It's still looking great a few days later! read more

Q cut my hair 2 weeks ago and I'm STILL so happy about it that I'm back to leave a review. I've been wearing my hair long and wanted to wear it short and curly for the first time in my life. Not only is the cut on point, he took care to listen to exactly what I wanted and interpreted it well even though I came in with parameters but not an exact style. By my request, he walked me through how to best handle my curly hair - washing, styling, re-styling. Recommend and sold me the perfect products. Let me pick whether to walk out salon perfect or with my new everyday hair - I picked the latter because it ROCKS and so does Q. Thanks Q!!! read more

I can never say enough wonderful things about Salim and his kindness. He is truly one of the most generous, loving and empathetic people I have ever met. I was traveling to DC to speak at a conference on behalf of my 5 year-old son battling a rare neurological disease. I had received a bad hair cut and highlights before I left Dallas. Salim took me in last minute and fixed everything. I explained to him why I was in DC and his kindness was palpable. He did not charge me for my hair. Rather, he said I put that money toward curing my son. I felt the salon feeling beautiful and nailed the speech the entire day. It is rare this day in age to meet someone like Salim. read more

Uff. Have to leave another review :) Last week I couldn't figure out how to login to the yelp account I have had for years. Turns out signing in via gmail sometimes doesn't work if you didn't originally start the account that way. ANYWAY: Walking in: - beautiful views of DuPont in every corner of this place. Huge windows, natural light. A cozy place ("welcome to my home: take a seat in my living room" vibe) to wait for your appointment is situated in the middle of the (huge!) salon: relax, sip some complimentary wine (or beverage of your choice) with a comfy couch, chairs, tv, and VIEWS to outdoorrs: you can listen to music, watch Netflix, or simply enjoy watching other people's cuts happens as you wait Experience: I might be biased... I followed many of the stylists from their old location (which has horrendous management) because they are so talented and because they are amazing people as well. MY stylist is Mandy Anderson, but EVERYONE. That works here. Is so talented. As I was getting my hair done by Mandy on this visit (the photos speak on their own on her amazing ability to execute color and cut perfectly), I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with other customers as they got their hair done. A cut and color like this takes a few hours. I talked to so many regulars who also - like me - loved their stylist and followed them to Style Bar DC. I heard multiple people's stories on their hair journeys and finding the person at Style Bar that was worth being their "follow forever" stylist. Anyway. My point here is: I already knew everyone was talented here but it was lovely hearing other people's experiences were like mine. My stylist (Mandy): Mandy is extreeeemely talented. She had been doing my hair for... actually only 6 months but it feels like way longer haha because she immediately understood me, my aesthetic, what I like and enjoy (and that I like to experiment). She is so good at explaining details to you - hair care, what cut or change will affect your look and explaining why you may or may not like it. Walking through color choices (I don't just mean rainbow colors, I mean normal hair color as well. I plan to go back to blonde eventually and Mandy explained the right choices for me to make to get there). I used to half half my head shaved/faded and Mandy also made sick designs on my head. She also has skill with a blade - actual barbershop blades, for finite detail (but also the electric razor that you know and love too). anyway. Like I said... I might be a little biased, because I already know everyone is talented and amazing. But that's why I need to let everyone know :) read more

Mandy does an amazing job with color and cuts - and has great skills with a blade as well. I have half my head shaved and she has done great designs. She is helping me transition growing the fade out slowly, and has done beautiful job with color. Mandy always has listened to my ideas and ran with them - as well as suggested great stuff that I know I love. This hair color actually was due to something she posted that she wanted to do and I wanted it right away. Can't wait for the next appointment! read more

I love the team here at StyleBar DC! Q and Salim are the ones to go to for a blonde. I've been blonde since Aug 21 and love how healthy my hair looks every time I come in. I've sourced many places in the DMV and my hair fell out at other places after I didn't go to this Salon. Don't make the mistake and go anywhere else, StyleBar is your GO TO salon! read more

I can't say enough amazing things about this place. A fun and relaxing location with excellent stylists. Special shout-out to Salim. He really knows what you need when you might not know yourself. Have always left feeling so much more put together. Love that you can easily make appointments online and pay ahead of time for exactly what you want so no surprises. read more

The haircut was good but the experience was "meh". I got a regular men's haircut and it was $60 and I tipped the $20 that I always tip - for $80 the haircut experience should be great. It was my first time and when I came in I stood by the desk for a minute or two before someone acknowledged me and said I could sit on the couch. On their website they go on and on about the pre-cut interview/chat but that never happened. I waited about 10-15 minutes past my appointment time and was called over. He just said, "What are we doing today?" just like any other barber would at a GreatClips. He kept stopping to answer the phone and was talking to the other stylist while cutting my hair. The haircut was good but the overall experience made me feel like I was wasting the guy's time - I just moved back to DC and am looking to reestablish a place to go and I just will be picking a different place. I wanted to really like it but it was just ok and for eighty bucks, "just ok" isn't gonna cut it. read more

As a want-to-be blonde with dark brown hair, I have struggled to find stylists that take the care and attention required to make my highlights look seamless and natural. Stylebar's Kanika is the best stylist for blondes in all of DC! I have been going to her for 2 years now, and I have referred 7-10 friends to her throughout this time - each of them has been amazed at Kanika's coloring abilities. The picture, which shows my hair after committing to Kanika as my stylist, shows her ability for itself! I'd also like to add that being blonde can be expensive; Kanika, however, recommends that I intermittently substitute toning sessions for dyes, therefore keeping me as blonde as possible without draining my wallet. I appreciate this greatly. She has the clients best interest at heart and - in all honesty - knows what I want and need more than I do. I cannot recommend her services enough! (Side note: She's also especially great with layered cuts and curtain bangs). read more

This is the *best* place to get a style and cut in DC. I LOVE getting my hair done here--Jai is a master. Both my daughter and I go to her, and she does an amaaazing job. Jai has an expert knowing of what style and treatment are going to work best for our very different hair types, and she knocks it out of the park every.single.time. It's also just sooo fun to spend time with her. We are laughing and talking the entire time--It's so joyful! I highly recommend Style Bar for the expertise, vibe, and experience that's there. read more

Salim is fun, friendly and nonjudgmental. He always does something cool with my hair and gives my styling tips. He is efficient and gets me in and out and on with my day. Always a laugh to talk to and a kind soul. read more

Q did SUCH an amazing job on my haircut! I've been following Cornelius from salon to salon and when he transitioned out of the chair he recommended Q and I could instantly tell why! Q is such a good listener, has such strong (and correct!) instincts about what will look good, takes his time, checks in with you often throughout the appointment to make sure you're still comfortable with the results, and leaves you with a cut that is so good that you're like, "Damn, I should have made plans for after this cut!" I had about eight inches of pandemic length that needed to come off, and Q gave me a cut so expert that my hair experienced absolutely no shock - it looks as good today as it did four days ago at the salon. And if it's important to you - he uses only vegan products and they left my hair feeling soft, bouncy, and smelling like cupcake batter. No stickiness or stiffness. And I have to put in a plug for the salon atmosphere - so friendly, collaborative, and pleasant. The stylists were constantly consulting each other and giving constructive suggestions. No weird competitive feelings - it really felt like a family of professionals. (for anyone who is still COVID-cautious, I wore a ReadiMask and received absolutely no push-back from staff. The staff and other patrons were not masking when I was in the chair, but again, no hostility to me. The CO2 levels got to 1400 ppm by the end of my visit; by that time, each chair was occupied by a stylist and patron.) read more

Review For Those Short On Time : Do not hesitate! Choose StyleBar DC! Jai and Jas will treat you like royalty and make you fabulous. Review For Those Who Like A Short Uplifting Story: This is a story about a hair disaster that turned into a platinum gold act of love and of beauty. My daughter had spent 8 months growing out her curls with the hopes of having them shaped into a super cute shaggy do. We went to a discount haircut chain that she'd been to before and were happy with. (This time she had a different stylist, though.) My daughter showed the new stylist a photo of what she wanted. The stylist did NOT even attempt the haircut in the picture. It was an awful boys haircut, that left her with absolutely no length in an uneven, unflattering shape. My daughter kept it together until we got outside of the store and then she burst into tears. I then scrambled to find a salon that was open and could take her immediately. For so long there had not been much to be excited about (pandemic, etc) but she had gotten excited about this haircut and I wanted to do all I could to fix it, NOW!!! I called and prayed for someone who would not only salvage her hair but would treat her special and pamper her. After calling at least 6-7 places, my prayer was finally answered x 2 when we found Jai and Jas at StyleBar DC!!! They could tell we were really upset and were very compassionate. My daughter showed them a picture of a MUCH shorter haircut she found online and Jai went right to work, talking to my girl the whole time and making her feel at ease. I kept trying to talk my daughter into trying some color, but when Jai suggested it, she was finally open to it! So Jas went to work turning her blonde hair to a stunning platinum blonde that looked so perfect on her new short style. I tear up thinking about how these two, talented, kind stylists turned that disaster haircut into such a positive experience. Right before we got to the salon my daughter had said, "There is no way anyone can fix this." And when we left she was so so happy. They certainly did more than fix it. They made her look and feel fabulous!!! read more

This place is amazing. Easy to make appointments online and the service was honestly the best. I live in San Francisco and stuff has been closed for awhile so when I was in DC decided to go for a cut with my brother and my cousin. Best decision ever. I had J and she was phenomenal. Really put care into my hair and made me feel like a million bucks. Highly recommend. read more

Mandy gave me the cut I hoped for! She was patient and carefully evaluated my hair and listened to my concerns so that she could create the look that I really wanted. Even when you go to nice hair salons, usually you are rushed so that the stylist can see the next client. Mandy took her time to give my hair the attention it needed--including the most luxurious shampoo and conditioner experience I've ever had! I felt so relaxed at Style Bar with its zen vibe and privacy between customers as well as a clean and uncluttered environment. It was truly a treat to have my hair cut here. read more

I booked a same day appointment with Kanika after waking up this morning and waging an internal battle about whether or not I should just wait to get my hair done at home with my regular stylist, or if I should experiment with a stylist in DC. As a picky blonde with fine hair, Im always nervous about trying a new stylist for fear that they won't give me exactly what Im looking for. That being said, I am so glad I took a chance and decided that I could not wait because this was the best cut and color I have ever received. Kanika was so warm and friendly and to top it all off, she's so incredibly talented at what she does. I had no expectations for this appointment, I just wanted my hair to look better. Kanika gave me the haircut and color of my dreams. The only downside to this was that my hometown stylist just lost a customer. StyleBar and Miss Kanika will be seeing me again 100%. Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

I have been following Cornelius for a couple years now; from L'Enfant Plaza to Bishops and now to Style Bar! Upon meeting him back in 2017, he immediately calmed my fears of trusting a new stylist after some horrendous DC experiences and I turned into a committed customer after one visit! He has always listened to my 'hair concerns' and desires to transform my hair! I have loved them all from going icey blonde for my wedding to rose gold to a reddish violet and have gotten tons of compliments over the years! I love everything about how Cornelius cares my hair! Plus, he's just awesome and has a great spirit so you're going to enjoy your visit no matter what! You're also going to love the inviting feel and professional and chic vibe of Style Bar! read more

I basically walked home in tears and ended up cutting my hair my pass shoulder length hair to Ear length myself because of the over processing and damage that occurred. Overall, I wish the stylist listened to what I wanted and was upfront about what he was and wasn't able to do with my hair. I paid over $300 and my hair is in worse condition than when I went in. Got auburn hair instead of highlights and greys still coming out of my roots. Moral of my story and lesson.....if the original stylist you request is not available and they try to place u with another stylist that u don't no what their work looks like....abort abort !! read more

I am not prone to taking the time to leave reviews, but this was such an appalling experience it seemed appropriate to warn others about this business and it's practices. I had an appointment that I had taken off work, driven there, paid for parking only to find out the stylist had decided not to work that day. The staff there were not apologetic and showed absolutely no remorse for the fact that I was not left a voicemail alerting me to the situation. It might have been understandable if this was a last minute emergency, however they were aware that the stylist would not be in since the morning and I had a late afternoon appointment. Staff here are completely unprofessional and inconsiderate. I highly recommended using another salon. read more

Salim gave me an excellent haircut! As a man whose hair is thinning, has a bald spot and a high hair line, I appreciated how warm and welcoming Salim was. Haircuts have been a bit difficult for me because of my MPB, and Salim helped me feel comfortable, and gave me a hair cut that makes me feel confident and attractive. This is the first haircut I've received in a while that didn't feel traumatic, but truly empowering. Thank you, Salim, for this gift. read more

Salim is the man-- best haircut in DC.leave It to Salim to turn around my Monday- and leave me with a fresh new cut.

Nice, clean salon. Overpriced. Went in for a blow dry and was more than double what was advertised online, with no prior heads up.
