It's with great hesitation that I provide this review, as I do not wish to have difficulty booking hair appointments in the future, but hopefully I can help a few women out. Ishmael, the owner, is amazing. He was rated the best hair stylist for blondes in DC at one point, and he's simply fantastic. Beautiful blended highlights is a specialty. His brother, Ibo, is similarly amazing, but honestly, they're all great. If $250 for cut/highlights seems outrageous to you, don't go and then leave a pissy review here. By all means, don't spend money you don't have, but if you know the value of having a great stylist that you're loyal to and aren't deterred by the pricing (which is all relative, really - spending $500 for a great cut in NY/LA is not uncommon), give this salon a try.Their clientele includes DCs elite - members of Congress, lobbyists, socialites - many 40+, so I feel lucky that I discovered them early, by late-twenties. Plan on a cut/color taking 2 hours, just to be safe - I often schedule too tightly and get stressed out, but I love it when I have the time to enjoy the experience. Read Less
