I have always had a great experience with Camilla. I have had highlights, haircuts, vivid colors, and global lightening and I have loved all of them! read more

Sierra is fantastic! My partial highlights and cut were exactly what I wanted. She took care to make sure that I was comfortable with every decision (I asked her to use her judgment on some things). She matched my existing highlights perfectly. I have long-ish hair and get frustrated when stylists cut off a lot more than I wanted. Sierra totally understood and said she would trim it however much I wanted, which I very much appreciated. I like the results of going to the salon but don't enjoy the process. Sierra made it enjoyable. As a huge bonus, I learned A LOT from her about hair, hair care, and highlights. I told her that since my former colorist left DC during Covid, I haven't been able to find someone who has filled her shoes. I have now! Thanks, Sierra! https://www.theshopsalon.com/team/#shaw read more

very unprofessional and disrespectful staff. I has an appointment booked and was left waiting for over 30 min with no apology. they said one time they would be "there in 5 min" and then never came back as they continued to cut another persons hair. Did not apologize and said "it's the holidays" as if I didn't book an appointment through their system. Luren, the stylist, should prioritize customer service despite being a "junior stylist". treating your clients with basic respect matters. Liz, who is not a manger but was introduced as one, raised her voice when asked about how to solve this, and was very unprofessional and disrespectful. I would not recommend anyone go here, especially queer people, since they don't seem to respect their clients. Really disappointed read more

I have been a client of the salon for several years and also bring my son here. I have been happy with the quality and the service. However, at a recent appointment with Valorie, I found her personality to be discourteous and condescending. I still recommend the salon overall, but I do not recommend this stylist. read more

For someone who doesn't love getting her biannual haircut Kayla at the Shop at Shaw made it as stress free process as possible. She picked up on my anxious vibes immediately and constantly checked in to make sure I was doing okay. She also took the time to really take care of my hair, despite being her last client of the day. She gave it the TLC that my very dry ends desperately needed. If you are looking for a quick and affordable place to get your hair cut in the district I recommend Kayla at the Shop at Shaw. read more

I loved my haircut!! I have so so much hair, and i appreciate when I'm able to get a 2 hours before appointment that helps me out. It is HOT today and Sarah T helped me thin out and get so much weight off my head. It looks and feels so so so much better! read more

Best place for a men's haircut in the area!! Ali cut and styled my medium-short length hair after helping me brainstorm ideas of what to do with it, taking all of my input into account and giving suggestions based on my wants and his experience. He was extremely detail-oriented and was very thorough in explaining how to style my new haircut on my own at home - which I really, really appreciated (and happens a lot less than you'd think!). This was my second haircut at The Shop at Shaw - the first being done by Tyler, who also was awesome and provided a similar experience (in addition to taming my hair after a year+ without a cut). Highly recommend Tyler, Ali, and The Shop as a whole! read more

I want to Walker Ty for a layered cut and left halfway in tears when I saw how my hair was being cut (attached). When I asked if someone could please salvage my hair before going to work the next day, they said no one was available and recommended I email the address provided on their website. Do not come here. I now have to cut my formerly long hair into a bob. read more

If your color is off and needs a refresh, go see Liz! I followed her from her old salon since I trust her immensely. I love how when I went to see her last week, I didn't know what I needed and she just knew what to do. I am so happy with my color!! She did a reverse balayage so I can start fresh and still have some highlights. Liz knows her stuff!! Go see her at her new salon!! read more

The Shop at Shaw - Hair Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Everyone here is really nice; they all have great hair and cool style. A+ for customer service and friendliness. The space is really great too. Very colorful and fun, an overall good vibe. The reason I'm giving them a 3 is that I paid $60 for a blow out that frizzed/curled midway through the wedding reception I attended later in day. I could tell, before leaving, that it wasn't that tight of a blowout because the roots looked kinda fluffy but I was in a hurry to get to a wedding out in Virginia. The style looked great, but it just didn't last for as long as a $60 blow out should last - pretty standard price for a nice salon in the city, in my experience. The reason I chose The Shop for a blowout was because I'm in the neighborhood, otherwise I go to a curly hair specific salon for haircuts/coloring. It's always good to have a neighborhood spot for blowouts and other styling that I cannot do myself... gonna have to keep looking, though, unfortunately. read more

Ali is wonderful! He listened to what I was vaguely looking for and really delivered! It had been about 9 months since my last haircut, and I wanted to take a couple of inches off of my shoulder-length hair and add in some movement/layers. It looks great, I wish I'd had somewhere to go after my appointment! I'll definitely be going back to see Ali! The shop is stylish and fun - excellent location, very clean and welcoming, and the prices are reasonable, not as crazy as some salons I've seen around DC! read more

2/21/20 was my very first visit to The Shop at Shaw. My appointment was with Kari! I was impressed the very moment I stepped across the threshold. There was a young lady who approached me & greeted me with a smile, followed by another young lady offering me something to quench my thirst. The decor keeps you occupied with different scenery for plenty of selfies if you dare! The atmosphere is friendly and everyone had smiles on their faces. I love the fact that everyone had their own style & didn't look "mechanical" as in having that dumb, awkward "uniformity!" I was extra impressed with the hair products Kari used in my hair ....oh & did I mention my hair came out ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! She nailed the picture of the color that I wanted! You definitely need to look Kari up for all of your hair needs! read more

I really wanted to like this place because the space is beautiful and my haircutter (Kiara) was really nice. She made sure that I was paying the right price for the type of haircut I was getting, and also told me that if I checked in on Yelp, I could get a discount. Unfortunately, after a week of getting my haircut, ive settled that I'm just not satisfied. During the haircut, I asked if I can have layers (not too much, because I'm getting a bob it'll look like a mushroom if the layers are too short). She said because I'm thinning out my hair, I'll naturally have texture and some layers (somewhat paraphrasing..). As you can see from my picture, the back of my head is just really blunt, and doesn't look good on me because I have thick hair. There wasn't any more checking in about the haircut after I asked my question about the layers. read more

This is one of my favorite spots- not only for haircuts that I wouldn't trust to any other place but also for the vibe. I'd let Jamie take any risk because she has such a good sense of how ideas will look in practice. Coming in, you sign in on an iPad with your app login and are offered some Prosecco. There are big chaise lounges and gorgeous wall graffiti, I could shop the hair color and cuts on the staff alone for hours (especially the fantasy colors- I swear I'll be brave enough soon), and everyone seems to legitimately be having fun with one another. If you have a short female cut, the gender neutral pricing is also a huge bonus over other salons. (Ps dog friendly!) read more

I've been going to The Shop routinely since it first opened. I have had a balayage, fashion colors, neutral colors, cuts, bangs, and blowouts done. My stylist is Kat. She is great at balayage sand highlights especially. She has helped me maintain my hair routinely for years and has given me healthy trims while also helping me grow it out. I love how she cuts layers too. I have also seen Sierra for a bang trim and some funky hair color. She did a great job and seemed to cut my bangs intuitively. But I loved how it turned out. Their hair products are amazing as well. I love the Anika line. Since I got my hair washed with it I have not looked back. The staff and owner are very nice and eager to please. Everyone has really funky unique style too. I trust my stylists at The Shop and my favorite part about this place is that every time I leave, I feel like an individual. Like and a brand new person. read more

First time here and it definitely won't be my last. This place has such a cool vibe and it's the perfect location to hang out and eat afterwards (show off that new do! ) You've gotta check this place out and my friend Sierra! She's the cutest and will have you walking away like you're in an herbal essence commercial read more

I have been going to Jamie for ten years! I was so excited she opened her own salon. I went to Adriana for the first time. I was nervous because I am very particular about my hair, but she killed it. She turned my very dark hair totally blond in one treatment. I got some subtle pink highlights and a nice shaved design on the back of my head. I walked out feeling like a different person! Also, you can tell a hair stylist runs this salon, because all the little touches are perfect. The sinks are actually comfortable to rest your head in. The products they used are great. I could go on and on, but trust me, this salon will take care of you. read more

The TLDR- this salon is perfection, just like the owner, Jamie B! The most amazing salon, thanks to the super talents of Jamie B! She's the most talented stylist I've seen in DC and she's created the perfect space in her new salon. So, the space is great, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the experience is seamless. But, the best part is that they ensure the services are great quality! The talented stylists are curated to fit the quality of the salon. I regularly get compliments on my hair. Can't imagine going anywhere else! I used to get my hair done at several salons in Georgetown and never found the same quality at a reasonable price. read more

Karen was fabulous!!! I hadn't gotten my hair cut in 6 months and she made it look healthy and stylish while still keeping it long. I was offered a glass of champagne upon arrival, a shower cap when I left because it was raining and LOVE that they allow dogs. I highly recommend this place! read more

Lovely experience! I was traveling in from out of town for a wedding and needed a haircut and style. I found the salon a bit at random and did a walk in, and I am SO GLAD I did. The salon is cute and chic, everyone was very friendly, and I was constantly caffeinated with solid coffee as my stylist worked her magic. The entire salon feels friendly and home-y, something I don't often find in salons. More importantly, my stylist listened patiently to my requests (I have somewhat wavy hair, so getting it into a ponytail or bun for work is a must), and she did a lovely job giving me some layers to reduce some of the weight in my hair without making it look choppy. read more

I went to Jessica (at the Union location) for my first big haircut since quarantine started! Not only do I love my new hair...the experience was also so refreshing. She is such a bright, helpful, and welcoming artist. I've been to all The Shop locations now (Shaw with Dylan, Bethesda with Kali, and Union with Jessica) and for sure will continue to get all my cuts and colors from artists at these shops. They always leave me happy and have great customer service! read more

I entered the shop with crazy uneven bleached hair, I left looking like a star. My hair felt healthier, smoother, and looked extremely better. The products used definitely made a difference in my hair. Everyone was kind, friendly, and engaging. They all worked well together and made the customers feel at ease. The shop was clean and organized. It had a relax atmosphere. The ENTIRE staff genuinely care and truly want you to leave feeling confident and looking your best. Adriana was amazing! She works wonders!! I thought I would have to chop all my hair off but she saved it! She did her researched and made sure to pick a look that was just right for me. She was diligent and took her time. She's friendly and fun. Her magic gave me my confidence back. It's hard to find a stylist that actually cares and wants your hair healthy and you looking your best, but Adriana is it! read more

The Shops at Shaw is a fun and lively atmosphere with unbeatable service and pricing! Marie is my go to girl for blonde highlights, base bumps and balayage. She is a true artist - highly recommend! read more

I don't like the overall experience here. Several times I had to wait a half hour or more (after my appointment time) for a 15 minute haircut. Haircut was never great. Sometimes it was uneven and sloppy. If you like 'cool' places that offer average haircuts maybe this is the place for you. If you prefer a consistent good looking cut, maybe try a different shop. read more

Jessica has been doing my hair for 3 years, and has done it at every length--from a 1in pixie to the long hair it is now--and has done many different colors for me, too. She is a rockstar. She's incredibly passionate (I'm actually not sure I've seen someone who loves their job more), fun to spend time with, and does incredible work. Can't recommend her and The Shop highly enough. read more

Jamie has been cutting my hair for the last 10 years and, every time, it has turned out flawless. Even when I moved away from the area, I would still return for haircuts (because, honestly, there was no one better). An amazing salon with many talented stylists that I would give my highest recommendation! read more

I can't say enough good things about The Shop. Jamie is one of the most talented artists I've ever met. She is also incredibly efficient which is sooo appreciated (who has time to spend 5 hours getting highlights?!) I've sent several friends/coworkers here, all of whom have varying lengths/colors/textures of hair, and they have all been obsessed, so Jamie can really do it all! The space is also relaxing and beautifully decorated. It's also very clear that Jamie only hires and trains stylists that will do great work (i.e., I would feel comfortable trusting anyone here to work on my hair because I know they've all been vetted by and trained well by Jamie and her team). Lastly, prices are completely reasonable. Love love love!! read more

Had an initial good experience and felt the stylist was very knowledgeable but when I called 3 days later to explain my color faded I was charged another almost $100 and that had never happened to me and I've colored my hair for 30 years. I was disappointed and won't return. read more

Edit: Now that I understand that you can reschedule at no additional cost, I am adding back a star.

Jamie is terrific. She is really masterful when it comes to hair color and correcting your color. I couldn't recommend her more.

I called the The Shop at Shaw Saturday AM to make a last minute blow dry appointment for Saturday PM. They had a very organized website linked to another site with all the appointments available, and the staff member I spoke to on the phone was very professional and helpful. The salon is clean, fun, and they use and sell an assortment of cool hair care products. My stylist was nice and the blow dry turned out great! I would definitely come back! read more

I am loyal to Jamie, and I think I'd even follow her across state lines! When she told me she opened her own salon, I knew it would be the chicest, coolest salon in town - and I was right. Yes, this salon is gorgeous and feels hip right in the middle of Shaw. But beyond that, you'll get impeccable service, a seamless customer experience (booking is super easy, and everyone has Venmo for tips!) My hair of course turned out gorgeous as usual, but the special touches from this salon took the experience over the edge! read more

The Shop at Shaw is terrific! Friendly staff, amazing stylists (I'm forever loyal to Jaime B.), and they also play killer music. This is place is a nice break from the pretentious places in town. The environment is laid back and the stylists don't pressure you to be something you're not, BUT they do - in the best way possible - help you find your best look for this moment in time. I highly recommend the Shop at Shaw!!! read more

Jamie, Aaron, and Jennifer are the best in DC. I left the shop looking like a million bucks. The staff, products, and environment are better than any salon in DC. Five stars for the shop because they know their stuff. read more

I swear I have tried every salon in DC and never fell in love with one until The Shop at Shaw. It is such a fun space and Jamie Lynn is so so good at what she does. I'm a redhead and a lot of colorists miss the mark, but Jamie Lynn kills it every time with the perfect blend of natural and vibrant color. Her prices are super reasonable compared to other places I've gone that completely gouge you. And she's great about upkeep and doing shorter in-between appointments to keep the color fresh. But the best part is - this place is FUN. The space is so cool, they pass out bubbles on arrival and do a photo shoot with their fun backdrops at the end. There's a real sense of community with people coming in & out to say hi or bring their dogs by, and every one of them loves Jamie Lynn. I stopped by with my friends during Pride last year and they were giving everyone glitter roots! Just one example of how they liven up the neighborhood. Plus to top it all off they carry some of my favorite brands like R + co, Amika and IGK. I'm moving to LA after 6 years of being in DC and so sad that I didn't find Jamie Lynn sooner. I've recommended her to at least half a dozen of my friends and they all love her as much as I do. So will you! read more

The Shop at Shaw is hands down the coolest salon I have ever been to. The interior decoration is hip, green and fun. They also had an amazing playlist for the three to four hours I spent there. Hair- Kathyana is incredible. She did a beautiful job on my cut and color. I highly recommend her to anyone who has thick lengthy hair- she knows how to handle this quickly with great care. I also would note that she gave me a great price since we didn't end up using as much dye as booked. Highly recommend this salon for any hair needs! read more

I never write reviews, but Shop at Shaw deserves it. I've been going for three years, and have always had an amazing experience. I especially have to shout out LIZ! I was so sad when my last stylist moved away, but Liz has more than filled that void. I totally trust her when it comes to my hair and to give it to me straight when I have a hair idea that would not work for my hair type. She always does an incredible job, and she is a blast to hang out with! read more

Highly recommend! I had a fabulous appointment with Kat who is absolutely amazing. She listened to what I was looking for, and took the time to make sure I was happy with my cut. She even helped me with some styling tips for the future. I would HIGHLY recommend this place especially Kat is who is so wonderful! read more
