    Highlights and curls
    Luiza G.

    Joao is a color wizard and a life saver! I've been coloring my hair with him for the last 8 months and I love it. He is also a very good stylist, I got the most beautiful and natural curls after my highlights and left his place feeling like a million bucks! My best friend got her Brazilian blow out and she is also very happy with the results. As for the salon, it's very clean, prices are decent and they are open until 8pm.

    I cannot recommend Tresses enough!! I've gone to Joao for a couple of years for a cut and he does it perfectly. This time I asked for highlights and they're the best I've ever gotten before. Love this salo

    Fried damaged hair. Uneven..

    I've had wonderful HAIRCUTS from here but horrible hair coloring experiences. I have peak-a-boo blonde in my hair and I went to get my roots touched up and when they were done they did not match the already blonde tips.... so I went back and had them fix them and the lady fried my hair and it's breaking off. She was on her phone and forgot I was there... or doesn't know how to mix bleach correctly idk...my hair broke off while she was washing it, brushing it, and blow drying it & she said it was NORMAL! Mind you I have had blonde in my hair for 4 years and my hair has never broken or fallen out..... I attached pictures of the damage and what my hair looked like the last time I got my roots touched up. Really sad...

    I had such a horrible experience here. This was not my first time coming. I visited Ricardo for a haircut a couple of weeks ago and he did a decent job so I came back for color. I asked him for a natural blond. I paid for bleach and tone. He kept me in the chair for three hours with bleach in my hair for all but about 45 minutes and finally it was burning and I was worried my hair was fried so I had him wash it out. The hair was completely white and even when wet seemed brittle but he told me it had to be completely white to tone it which I know is wrong because I didn't ask for platinum. The toner he put in did nothing accept make it look slightly yellow. He also darkened my eyebrows and just slopped the toner on outside of the line of my eyebrows which took me rubbing it very hard with soap to get most of it gone. At the end he asked me what I thought and I told him it wasn't what I expected and it didn't look natural to me. He started to get angry. He rung me up for $95 which is $40 more than the price quoted when I booked. He said because he had to add more bleach to get all the brass out it cost more. I did not ask for this and clearly it wasn't needed. I paid without fighting and left on faith that when it dried it would look right. My hair is ruined. Even the short virgin hair on the side of my head is breaking. Ricardo DID warn me that there would be some breakage of the previously treated hair on top of my head and I said that was fine. He ruined completely fresh hair though. When I respectfully complained about the color he told me he could darken it further if I wanted, but that wouldn't fix the breakage of course. I'm going to have to get a buzz cut (elsewhere) to take all of the hair on my head off because it is all ruined. After I realized it was destroyed I called the salon and calmly explained to Ricardo that I wasn't happy with the treatment and it was not what I had asked for. I asked for a refund. Again, I was not a first time customer. I had been there and left a generous tip. I was not trying to take advantage of him. He reiterated I could come back in to darken the color and then angrily told me that I wasn't getting a "free color" and hung up on me. I hate to leave this review. I hate to have this hair. I wish Ricardo would at least offer a refund and would stop listing himself as a "master colorist" on his website.

    I had the pleasure of getting my hair taken care of by João! He is a color and styling master! I came in with boring hair and left feeling like a million bucks! I trusted his advice on color and cut and he gave me an amazing blow dry and curls. I am grateful I have finally found a superb professional who knows that he is doing and who charges fair prices for the quality of his work. If you want amazing color and cut call João and set up an appointment, trust me! Loved chatting with him too! Thank you so much, Jõao! See you soon!

    This review is for Sera…read more I completely understand that a stylist's time is valuable, and I know it's frustrating when clients are late. I also understand why my appointment needed to be rescheduled. My issue is not with the policy, it's with how I was treated. I was made to feel like an inconvenience from the moment I walked into the salon. I had a 12:45 p.m. appointment and called before leaving home to let the salon know I was running about 10 minutes late, which is their stated grace period. The receptionist told me she would let Sera know. At 12:56 p.m., when I was literally one minute away from the salon, I received a call saying Sera could no longer see me because I was late, and she had back-to-back clients. While I was disappointed, I understood. I asked if I could still come in briefly to speak with Sera because I wasn't even sure I needed a full highlight service, and the receptionist agreed. When I arrived, Sera immediately told me I needed to reschedule and seemed unwilling to discuss my hair beyond commenting that the back was "really dark" and explaining that she had returning clients scheduled after me. She didn't seem to know or care that I was a returning client. Sera had done my hair in February, and I came back because I had really liked her work. Not recognizing me in and of itself is not a big problem--I know a lot of people sit in her chair--but it made the interaction feel impersonal and left me wondering if she'd even prepared for my appointment. I was fully prepared to work with Sera and the receptionist to find another date and time that fit both of our schedules. Instead, both were unhelpful, dismissive, and rude. This experience was especially difficult because I have pretty severe alopecia areata that, thankfully, is now well controlled with medication, allowing me to grow most of my hair back. That said, I wore a wig for five years after losing most of my hair, so finding a stylist I trust is still an incredibly vulnerable and anxiety-producing experience. Every time I see someone new, I have to explain my hair loss and why I prefer a lived-in color that doesn't require overly frequent trips to the salon. I chose to return to Sera because I thought I had found someone I could continue seeing. Instead, I left feeling embarrassed, dismissed, and genuinely upset. I walked out of the salon, called my husband, and cried like a reprimanded little girl. I am a 35-year-old grown-ass woman. Policies are important, and I respect them. Kindness and professionalism are just as important. Had the situation been handled with empathy and respect, I would have happily rescheduled. Instead, I left feeling less like a person and more like a time slot or a dollar sign. It seems like Sera may have enough clients that turning one away isn't a big deal, but I was respectful, cooperative, and ready to work with her to find another appointment. I deserved that same courtesy and respect in return.

    The haircut here was very disappointing and did not meet the standards I have come to expect from a…read moreJapanese salon. 2022 I am new to DC. 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 still believe a full refund would've been the right thing to do, but you pick your battles. I appreciate the attempt to make this right although it still seems somewhat half-hearted. 4/27/18 Please look up "Zhen Lin" on yelp to see my review of the stylist who did my hair and more pics of the highlights she gave me. There was obviously a major misunderstanding. Why on earth anyone would want super blonde highlights on top of dark brown hair in 2018 is beyond me. This is not at all what I asked for. I asked for a natural looking balayage and showed Zhen literally four different pictures of examples I liked. I expressed that I really wanted the hair to look natural, blended and not ombre'd or striped. Both Zhen and the manager refused to try to make it right when I expressed my disappointment in my hair. Neither offering to help fix it, nor a refund. I had to pay $250 for something that was the opposite of what I wanted. After begging in person for them to help, I left another pleading phone message tonight for them to help me fix this mess, or refund my money as I can only imagine what a color correction will cost at another salon. I absolutely hate writing bad reviews about people and wouldn't have posted this if I didn't feel completely swindled, disrespected and brushed aside. I'm really hoping they'll get back to me, and I'll update this review if they decide to do the right thing. In the meantime, I'm beyond disappointed and disgusted!
