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. Jeff was my stylist and did an excellent job. He's professional and personable. A men's cut is $45 and includes a hair washing. I'll be back!

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!

Jeff really takes the time to understand what you're looking for and executes it with such care and precision. The color is dimensional, the style is flattering, and the extensions feel lightweight.

If you're considering color, a new cut, or tape-in extensions, I highly recommend Jeff!

JESSICA RAMOS SLAYED MY HAIR!…read more I came in for a new color&cut and my appointment was so good that Jessica is my new hair stylist! I had a great consultation prior to my appointment and Jessica was very knowledgeable. She took GREAT care of my curls and took my natural hair color of black to this GORGEOUS coppery color with NO bleach. The cut was awesome as well! She really cut into my hair got off all of the dead ends even at my shortest layer! Her attention to detail was overly appreciated. My curls are perfectly in tact under this blowout! I'm very pleased. The salon is gorgeous as well. Parking was pricey BUT Everyone was very polite, helpful and efficient! They were getting people in&out so fast! They offered complimentary coffee&etc as well.

Five stars for Mikaela for doing what she needed to do. I have had my locs for a year and a half…read morenow, and they are definitely still baby locks. I also have very curly hair, so my hair slips, slides, and unravel all the time. My girl really helped take care of my hair. She took her time, provided an excellent wash, and even provided different tips and tricks to help me understand how best to take care of my hair. She was awesome, and this is the best my Hair has felt in quite some time. For context, I came to see her after not having proper maintenance for a while and taking an ocean field trip to Mexico. I went from looking like a criminal who escaped the penitentiary, to a corporate baddie in just a couple hours. I would highly recommend . Also, because this is a true salon, the vibes are pretty great for the most part. The music is kind of all over the place, but the place is clean and they have really great product offerings.

I LOVED bishops! I've been on the hunt for a gender inclusive hair salon for almost half a decade…read morein DC and I finally found one! Their staff is mostly BIPOC and as an Indian person, I frequently would go to hair salons with people who did not look like me and did not understand the importance of a good hair cut as a Brown person. As soon as I arrived, I knew this place was going to be great. The ambiance and decor of the space itself is so welcoming. I walked in, but I suggest making an appointment. I got there when they opened so I did not have to wait, but they quickly got pretty busy. One of their stylists, James took me back and asked what I wanted. I recently cut my hair extremely short and I needed it cleaned up. I told him what I wanted and what I didn't want, specifying a specific vibe I wanted and he not only delivered, but was a delight to experience about 20 minutes with in conversation. Prior to going, I also checked out their website. Something I noticed on their websites that is cool is their space is accessible, you can request a silent hair cut, they are locally owned, and they have a 7 day fix-it policy, so if you leave and realize you want something different, you can go back and get it fixed! I highly recommend this place, especially if you're queer!

Edit: After reading other reviews, it's clear "the problem" my stylist had with me is homophobia. I…read moream not the first person to complain that the team here is avoidant about anything that they consider gender non-conforming. If you want to make this right refund my money, I don't wanna come back to your salon. You don't treat people like that. The price was OKish, but I got a really mediocre haircut. I'm a guy and I haven't gotten a haircut in a long time and I'm starting a new job soon and I needed to look professional. I needed some help like picking a shorter hairstyle and the stylist didn't want to help me make decisions at all. I had to ask for product at the end because she just wanted to kick me out with giant puffy hair because she brushed it when it was dry really really hard. I washed and brushed my hair right before I got in the car to go to the salon and there was no reason to brush out my hair like I was a kid before picture day. My hair feels so fried now. I have 3C curly hair and I left feel like my hair looks like a giant triangle. None of the staff would talk to me and everyone was really really hostile and unfriendly and when I was paying the owner started screaming (I think at me?) about how I didn't want to get a color on my hair like I had booked because they told me they were gonna charge me twice the price when I got there and then she complained that I was losing her business money. I'm gonna end up going to another salon somewhere else because my hair looks terrible. I asked for the bare minimum and she did less than that. I felt like she just didn't want to touch me or work on me. I don't know if they don't like cutting men's hair or if it's some other reason. I wanted a regular short men's haircut and instead I got this really weird bob cut. I asked the stylist why she left the back of my hair like 4 inches longer than the sides and she said it was because of my "curl pattern". I gave her the benefit of the doubt that it would look different once it relaxed or something, but it looks really uneven all over. I also had to ask her to even out her own work a few times because she would just leave random strands of hair three times the length of the other strands and like claim did not notice. I have to try to get it fixed before I start my new job because I don't want my boss to think that this is what I bring to the table. Who gives someone this weird asymmetrical cut when they just wanted everything the same length? I told her I didn't like my hair and she said "well, what do you want me to do about it?". She just kept asking me over and over again what I wanted and I kept telling her like how I wanted it fixed and she kept saying like she basically didn't know how to cut my hair. It wouldn't kill their staff to actually treat the people who come in through the door like human beings instead of like an imposition that they just want to go away. If they weren't going to do a good job for the price they quoted me online they shouldn't have taken my business. It's super awkward having your hair ripped out of your head repeatedly because someone won't just go get a wide tooth comb and they also won't speak to you. You don't brush 3C hair with a paddle brush as hard and as fast as you can and then claim you know how to handle curly hair. I really hate this haircut and I hate how much my scalp hurts right now because someone wouldn't take the time to comb my hair the right way. My stylist literally hid in the back of the salon for 20 minutes texting on her phone instead of cleaning her station like she said she was and she was late to my appointment. I don't know that she knows that I could see her reflection in the salon mirrors and I know she was avoiding me. The only time my stylist smiled or made any kind of conversation with me was when I was paying for my haircut and I got the feeling like she was just being nice so that I would tip. Thanks for making me look like Lord Farquad from Shrek. I don't know who hurt you, but I don't deserve this sloppy pageboy bob cut.

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 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.
