Makeup in Washington

“Christin is so talented. She understood exactly what I needed for a photo shoot and made me look like a better version of myself. ? I highly recommend her!“

“First visit with her today and I’m happy. Quandra explains her plan of care for you, based off your skin condition. Her professionalism is outstanding. I’m looking forward to seeing the progress of my skin, now that I’ve found her to guide me.“

“Another great experience with Frankie! Also had a great conversation with Gloria and realized I had known her years ago!

Stylist: Frankie and as always, he did an outstanding job!“

“Thomas is the best !! Me and my mom both have been going to him for years. He's done my hair for prom, countless different colors and cuts i've done. Can't say enough good things. literally the best !!!“

“Flaminia at FYUBI is truly the best when it comes to eyebrows! I've had bad experiences elsewhere where my brows got chopped, and it was a whole ordeal to fix. But ever since I found Flaminia, she's been the only one I trust with my eyebrows. Even though I don't get them done as often since I moved, whenever there's a special event or occasion, I don't hesitate to make the hour-long drive just to see her. She really knows what she's doing! Thank you Konjo!“

“This salon is just up the street from the Ritz Carlton DC. I walked to the salon and the neighborhood is very nice and a good walking area with wide sidewalks.
The salon is very well decorated and the front desk staff acknowledged me immediately and offered me coffee or water.
I had a pedicure with Marjorie during this visit and she used single use tools and the nail area is very clean and well decorated.
Please keep in mind that there is only one pedicure chair so make sure to schedule an appointment in advance.
There is an ATM located inside the salon by the front door and they do not allow for you to add a tip to the credit card, so make sure to bring cash for the gratuity or you can use Venmo.“

“Angela is hands down one of the top estheticians in the DMV. She’s incredibly professional and delivers amazing results. I can’t recommend her highly enough.“

“Inizio is a great salon! I had been looking for a good salon in DC for a while before finding Inizio and have now been going there for several years. All of the stylists and staff are kind and friendly. You can tell they all love what they do & they care a lot about their clients. The salon itself is always clean. They also work with all hair types from what I can see while I’m there getting my own service, so if you’re wondering whether they have someone who can help you I’d strongly encourage just reaching out to ask. The salon is elegant while also being approachable / not at all stuffy or pretentious. Their prices are great & I’ve never experienced any pressure to add on services I didn’t want (a common experience I’ve had at other salons in the area).

Chevelle does my hair cut & color and brow wax & tint. She is incredible and I cannot recommend her enough. I have natural curly hair which I almost always blow out / straighten and it has come out great every time I see her. She has been so great at listening to what I want with my brows, helping me keep them full & clean. I refuse to let anyone else touch them now! I did get a lash lift from her once too. While I realized that service just isn’t for me, she did do a great job & was very informative since it was my first time.

Salons like Inizio and stylists like Chevelle are rare & I’m very grateful to have found them!!“

“Rodrigo is an exceptional barber! His attention to detail and friendly demeanor make every visit enjoyable. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a top-notch grooming experience!“

“My daughters and I love it! Veronica and her team are amazing and exceptional in every way. From their wide range of hair services to their excellent customer service, they truly stand out. La Veronique is a top choice for anyone looking for high-quality service!“

“Such a wonderful shop with everything I needed. Thank you Kuku for the great customer service and experience. Would highly recommend“

“TLDR: I got my hair done by a less experienced stylist. It did not go well. I contacted the salon and the owner took time and fixed it himself. A+++ customer service. This is an update from a review I posted years ago, that I wish I could remove because I wrote about a mistake they made but did not update it explaining how they fixed the mistake. This will be kind of long but I feel terrible remembering I never thanked the salon for what they did. I wanted highlights and a cut because it was May and I wanted my hair lighter. The initial stylist instead made my hair darker with a little ombré at the ends. She did a good job if that is what I asked for. I think she's artistic and kind of went with it. Anyway, I was really unhappy because my hair was the opposite of what I wanted. I contacted her. She said she'd fix it if I wanted to pay for another service I believe. Then I contacted the salon. They said they'd fix it. (I might be incorrect about their exact responses at any point and I'd believe it if I'm getting the exact words wrong). I went back to get my freshly darker hair dyed lighter. Unsurprisingly, and to put it lightly- IT DID NOT GO WELL. I had light patches and dark patches, or stripes to be more specific. Some of it was kind of orange. I felt like I looked like Tony the Tiger. I had to wear a hat or use hair color spray just to even it out. I expressed this to the salon. The owner said I could come in for a consultation in his Alexandria salon. I did. He explained what he would do then set up an appointment a few days later. I came back. He was so wonderful. He spent hours personally fixing my hair. It was lighter. The color looked great. Then, they gave me all of these wonderful Joico products to maintain it. I think mistakes happen. Miscommunications happen. But to go above and beyond to fix the problem and to be so kind really makes all the difference. I appreciate the owner and this salon so much.“

“I love my hair extensions. They were affordable hair extensions near me in DC. I paid for 20 inches but they were out of stock so they installed 22 inches and 24 inches. I'm so thrilled with the outcome.“

“Chevelle is absolutely wonderful! She's been doing my hair for years. Her cut and color are bar non the best in DC.“

“Master Bae cuts with precision & confidence. Relaxers, color, extension.. etc your hair will be mastered & continue to grow.“

“Katty is a true master at cutting curly hair. Don’t waste your time anywhere else: go to her.

She cuts with shears rather than a razor and never relies on thinning sheers. She sculpts.

I’ve had two cuts from her. The first one grew out SO beautifully. Today I had her entirely reshape my hair from long layers to a short bob. You know what a dramatic change that is! So maybe you’ll appreciate it when I say I left the salon with zero regrets. She is a master, full stop.“

“Rose is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. As someone who has struggled with my skin for years and never saw results with facials, she absolutely changed the game. She takes great of you, listens to your concerns, never forces you to buy product, and overall provides such a relaxing experience. I drive 40 minutes to see her, and it is so worth it. The best in the DMV!“

“Everyone at this salon is so friendly but my stylist Suelene did an amazing job with my layered cut and blowout ✨?. My layers are subtle like I asked for but they make my hair look so full and bouncy and I love it. I’ll definitely be back. I would recommend this salon to anyone in the area. From the shampoo to the styling, you just feel super welcomed and pampered here.“

“NRB Beauty Co. is an amazing choice for brides! From the get-go, their team showered me with genuine care and it really helped me to feel confident in their expertise. They listened to my ideas and concerns, turning the whole process into a stress-free experience.On my wedding day, I was extremely nervous. The team’s warmth and encouragement made me feel like I was in the hands of friends. The final look they created was beyond stunning; I felt like a true queen walking down the aisle. Thank you Ashley, Asia, Nina and Maria!!!“

“I've been going for a while. Alissa is fabulous. And price is ok especially given the great location.“

“Fun and informative! This was a great way to celebrate my birthday! I learned some new things and cleaned out my makeup bag. I highly recommend Own Your Wonder!“
