I have been going to the Fourth Lock since it opened 25 years ago. Arlette is an incredible stylist and is very detail oriented. I have always gone to exceptional stylists including one who worked for fashion houses in Paris. She certainly ranks among the best!
I discovered Arlette's salon when I worked nearby in Georgetown and have been going to her for several years now. She's the best stylist I've ever known. She starts with a consultation about your hair, how to keep it healthy-looking, and what you're looking for in a stylist. She uses organic products by Rene Furterer, goes to Furterer trainings in Paris every year, and keeps current with the latest style trends. She always asks what you are looking for from that appointment and offers tips for taking care of your hair. She concentrates on what she's doing while she's with you so it's a quiet, spa-like experience to be in her shop. Her neighbors love her and she has worked with the National Park Service to raise funds to restore the barge on the C and O Canal. A total gem!
