JEN IS AMAZING!!! I cannot say enough about how great she is! I booked an appointment for a cut and color with her after going into deep, deep research mode after searching for a new stylist. I was in a particular hurry because I was proposing to my girlfriend that next week and needed my hair to look amazing (no pressure, right??) Jen took the challenge in stride and made me look amazing for the proposal and for the engagement photo shoot a week later. She listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me exactly that-- a beautiful bob with bangs and a striking bleached streak. Needless to say, I've been going back to Jen ever since and could not be happier to be a repeat client of hers!

Curtain bangs and trim

I absolutely adore Jen! She did a fabulous job giving me some super cute curtain bangs and trimmed me up really good. I don't know why so many people have given her a bad rating! She has a strong personality, in a really good way! Maybe people just don't give grace or know how to interact with stylists.. I really don't know, but she is experienced and KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING. I wanted shorter bangs and she knew exactly what length to make them to have them fit my face. Advising, taking control, and giving me the exact look I wanted.. what else could you ask for?! They offered me water and took my coat, too :) very nice hi

Enders did an AMAZING job on my balayage and haircut! I came here after booking only one session for my wedding look, which was risky since he had no idea what he getting himself into (I foolishly thought it would be fine in one go!) Enders reassured me and said he would have me looking fabulous and made sure I got what I wanted. I did. I absolutely LOVED my cut/color. I asked for something more natural and for my cut to be texturized and shaped up. Enders made sure my balayage blended beautifully with my old highlights. He also cut and styled my thick, long hair so that it didn't feel like a million pounds on my head. He even took care to mention the amount of shampoos it would take to lighten my hair so that it would be perfect on my wedding day. I honestly felt like he treated my hair like a delicate canvas! I will absolutely be back and I highly recommend this salon. It was extremely clean and professional. Everyone was courteous and the service is outstanding. In my opinion, the prices are reasonable. The other hair stylists also seemed extremely friendly and knowledgeable. If you can squeeze an appointment time in (they book up fast), do not sleep on this salon. BEST IN DC!

Hi!!! I had Jen today and she freaking killed it! I really came in with what I knew was complicated and probably pretty picky. I also had booked the wrong appointment style and she was so kind and understanding about it. I showed her photos and told her what I needed and she DELIVERED! I'm usually pretty shy and not too much of a talker at salons but Jen still made me feel so welcomed and was just overall awesome. 11/10 would recommend her and the studio! I would have better photos but I had to hurry over to work so this is all I got! But the cut and color was perfect

You pay so much for mediocrity living in DC. Until I found the Burrow, this was especially true of hair salons. I booked an appointment at Immortal Beloved for my first haircut moving back to DC and it was a lackluster experience. The salon was so loud, I could barely hear what the stylist said and she was too distracted most of the time to listen to my responses. It's bad enough the salon has a pretentious name but couple that with mindless customer service, and it's just unacceptable. For my next cut, I tried Tigi Salon, which was a disaster. The stylist I was given kept asking me for guidance, making me wonder how was she able to become a professional. I got a cut that laid strangely, was uneven, and had weird clumps jutting out. It was the worst haircut I've ever received. So I avoided getting my hair cut for months. But this week, I got sick of the shapelessness. I couldn't stand looking at my hair anymore. I chose the Burrow based on its Yelp reviews and crossed myself before arriving. Enders, to my delight, is a pro. He immediately saw what mistakes were made in my last cut, laid out his idea as to what he wanted to do to fix them, and took the time to listen to what I liked and didn't like. He perfectly executed a fade for the bottom and a textured bob on top. The result is a beautiful, sleek undercut toeing the line between professional and punk. I came away not only relieved, but deeply impressed. If I stay put in DC (a big if), the Burrow is my new salon and Enders is my guy. He knows what he's doing and does not disappoint.

Enders has cut my hair (and about 12 of my friends) for the past 3 years so when I heard he was opening a new salon in Shaw, I was thrilled. Booking online is easy and their hours make it easy to pop in after work or on the weekend. The salon is gorgeous and all of the staff were personable and professional. You'll be offered water, coffee or champagne while waiting. Best of all- you'll get an incredible haircut for a very reasonable price, especially in DC. I haven't personally had any coloring done, but a few friends have and I can vouch for how natural and beautiful their hair has looked. Of note- bring cash for tip!

I booked with Michael and, when work meetings ran over, called to explain I was running late and specifically asked whether I should still come. I was told yes. No one told me that my services or pricing would change. When I arrived, I was told I could only receive a basic haircut and a few face framing highlights, a small fraction of what I had originally booked. I said that was fine, but asked what it would cost. I received roundabout answers and had to ask three separate times before finally being told I would be charged $417, the price of my original, much more extensive service. I left without receiving any service and was charged $417. But the most upsetting part was how unkind the experience was. I work a demanding job in DC and was trying to handle the situation responsibly. I called ahead, explained what happened, asked what I should do, and followed their direction to come in. Anyone working in this city knows that meetings run over. I was not asking them to ignore their policies. I was asking for basic communication and consideration. Instead, I felt like I had to repeatedly push just to get a straight answer about what I was being charged. That lack of transparency, and especially the lack of kindness, was incredibly disappointing. There are plenty of professional, transparent, and genuinely considerate salons in DC. I will be going elsewhere.

My last stylist stripped my hair of its brown low lights, the highlights were nowhere near ashy, it was just a mess. I love the balayage/lived-in look, but because my hair is so dark, I need foils rather than balayage to lift it. This is something I always have to explain to stylists and they typically tell me I'm wrong, proceed to do it anyway, and then I hate it. Not Linh! I showed him a picture of exactly what I was looking for, and he immediately said "okay, we're going to need to do foils, not balayage, because of your hair type and then will do a root smudge." I could have cried. I didn't even have to tell him and he knew; he's simply an expert who speaks the language of hair. Linh was able to restore the ashy blonde highlights AND my natural brown lowlights, which helps so much with dimension and looking more natural. He did such a fantastic job and I will go to him again and again.

Over the past five years, I have regularly visited Japanese hair salons in Los Angeles, New York City, and Boston while traveling frequently. In those experiences, even when a haircut did not fully match my preferred style or length, the technical quality was consistently strong, and any adjustments were handled professionally. Unfortunately, this experience was very different. One of the defining characteristics of a Japanese haircut is the smoothness, softness, precision, and careful organization of the layers. In my case, the cut lacked those qualities and appeared uneven and poorly structured (the photo from the back). I was also disappointed by the salon's management. Based on my experience, the overall operation and quality control did not reflect the standards typically associated with Japanese salons. Update (May 2026): Over the past 4 years, I have been with my Japanese hair stylist in New York. I returned to the salon to see Keiko because I was hoping to find a long-term stylist in Washington, DC. I had not had my haircut for 7 months prior to that because I delivered a baby in December 2025. Ozuki appeared to be one of the few salons in the area offering Japanese hairstylists. Immediately after the appointment, the haircut looked good due to the styling and blow-dry. However, within a few days, the shape became difficult to manage and appeared increasingly unstructured. The photo on my ID, taken approximately three weeks after the haircut, reflects how the cut settled over time. In contrast, the Japanese haircuts I have received elsewhere typically maintain their shape and balance for several months. Despite my concerns, I scheduled another appointment six weeks after the first haircut with Keiko because I genuinely hoped the issues could be corrected and that I could establish a relationship with a local stylist. At the same time, I let the management know that my haircut had bad form and hope that it can be resolved at the second appointment. Unfortunately, my interactions with management, Liz, were once again disappointing. Rather than addressing the concerns constructively, the response left me with little confidence that the salon could deliver the level of quality I was seeking. This is the first Japanese salon where I have repeatedly had unsatisfactory experiences. Based on the consistency of those experiences, I am not convinced that the salon operates at the standard typically associated with Japanese hairstyling.

I do also appreciate that they respect their customers time by doing this.

My services were done by Sonya and I'll say this, you need to book a trichologist! If you're suffering from hair loss, hair damages, dermatitis, and scalp issues, book someone certified to not just style your hair but customize the right care for your hair. Sonya did just that and she was sweet, understanding, not scornful of my hair condition, and really made a dull hair shine again. As someone battling dermatitis, I booked a cut, moisture hydration treatment, and scalp exfoliating detox masks and honey...this service was just what I needed. Sonya carefully explained everything to me from things do refrain from if my scalp became flared and how to manage it in between. I'm so relieved to have found her because my hair was missing this level of care and support. I'm scheduled to return soon and cannot wait to continue this journey to healthy hair with a dynamic stylist. Book the appointment and if you need special attention to the state of your hair, book Sonya-you won't regret it.

Booked a partial highlight. After over two hours and the worst blowout I've ever had, I realized the color didn't take. I let the stylist know & she could obviously see that my roots were still showing. She immediately went into the back & came out only to tell me, "You obviously will NOT be charged for today & I'm happy to redo the color when you have time." Went to the front, booked time to try the color again & specifically asked if I was going to be charged the $250. I was told "no" & walked out of the salon. 45 minutes later, I received a call from the salon informing me that "we have charged your card on file $250 because the manager told us we had to." I told them this was NOT acceptable to me. The manager got on the phone with me & proceeded to tell me, "It was probably your hormones because we mixed the solution exactly as it was listed on your profile, and this is not our fault." She then rudely asked me if I was pregnant or had hormone issues, neither of which is her business. I then let her know that I was reporting this unauthorized charge to my bank & the BBB. She then outright said, "Good luck with that," as if to challenge me. So, if you like wasting 2 plus hours of your life, only to look worse than before, be told you won't be charged, only to be charged without your consent by a manager who then makes their incompetent service your fault due to your "hormones," then this is the perfect salon for you. If I could give negative stars on this business, I would!!!!
