I went to Daniel for cut and color and he is a magician! He left my hair long, in layers, and the color is 100% natural!!! he is intuitive and his experience makes him a complete expert! I will never go anywhere else! read more

Great blowout and Daniel is amazing. I have curly hair and have struggled to find a good blowout in DC, but Daniel is very talented and pays attention to detail. Highly recommend! read more

Daniel did an amazing job! My hair was unbelievably long and DEAD I am a newish mom (to a two year old) and have not kept up with my hair like I should. Daniel transformed me:) Love the hair and love him! read more

GK Keratin for long thing curly hair. When looking for a salon you want quality products, pristine service, and a staff with integrity who stands by their values. I'm pleased with the customer service, and I'll let the photos illustrate my before and after. S/O to Daniel, I'll post an update review after washing my hair in a few days! read more

See all

I've been going to Daniel's hair salon for over year. Daniel is a great hair stylist and the only person who cuts and colors my hair. First time I came to him - my hair was very damaged. He knew how to make my hair feel much softer and shiny . Also, he has an exceptional technique of doing my highlights - always look very natural and I get a lot of compliments. I wouldn't go to any other place but there. read more

Daniel is a master of his craft. I came in to refresh my highlights & for a trim, and he listened diligently to my requests/preferences. And then he and Assistant David proceeded to make my hair even more beautiful than I could've imagined. The salon space itself is beautiful and I can't imagine going to another salon going forward. read more

Back in November, I had a horrible experience at another salon which bleached my whole head and left it dead of course. I've waited till now to grow it out and I needed to find someone who would blend the blonde color that was left to my natural dark brown hair. One of my friends recommended Daniel so I gave him a try. Daniel did amazing and my hair looks soo good! He added highlights in all the right places and my hair feels amazing. The staff was also super nice and the place is quaint and calm! read more

LOVE! DANIEL! GO HERE. I literally couldn't recommend Daniel and this salon more!! I got my hair done today and I haven't been this happy with my hair in a LONG time. This was my first time at Daniel's since I just moved to D.C. I'm *super* picky about my hair and who does my hair and when and where I go. I hadn't gotten my hair done in months. It was a mess. Dry. The highlights had grown out to the point where I had a distinct line between my regular color and the highlights. I did a ton of research before choosing Daniel. And boy was it the right decisions. The cut was exactly what was needed. Just the dead ends, and he left my hair long. The color is what I've been asking people to do for years and they never followed through. Daniel did. My hair feels alive again. Soft and gorgeous. Soft. Everything you want after a color. And Daniel and his assistant Dave were INCREDIBLE. They were so so so nice. Personable. Covid safe!!!!!!!!! Didn't tug through knots in my hair, very gentle with it. An amazing experience and a new lifelong customer was won over today. Go to Daniel. You'll be SO happy with the result!! read more

I have been coming to see Maria since I have moved to the DMV. Brazilian waxes have never been so quick and painless (ok maybe JUST a little). But she is extremely quick and efficient and makes it look AMAZING! My husband is happy and so am I! I will always come only to here while I live in this area. read more

Love Daniel's. First of all, it's a cool place to come. It looks like someone's Victorian home transformed into a hair salon. The salon is huge and spacious and you never feel cramped or have to wait. Everyone is always welcoming and Daniel himself is charming to all the clients. Second, Brenda is a genius. I first came to her when a salon down the street chopped my hair off and made me look like a Dutch boy. I was really upset and thought that not much could be done to fix it. Brenda was amazing, she not only fixed the horrible haircut, but made it look amazing and glam, and I got tons of compliments on it afterwards. She also charged me that time much less than the normal price because she felt that I had to pay twice for a haircut. I've been going to Brenda every since. She's done everything for me from haircuts (different styles many times), updos (she did a 20s look and a Lady Gaga bow for me) and highlights. Every time I come out of the salon looking amazing and I have great confidence in Brenda and her magic hands. read more

Here's the thing: in the end, my color was done just as I'd asked, and so was my haircut. My hair overall, ended up pretty great. But, I have long and more importantly, very thick hair, and at this salon, they blow dry your hair in order to style and straighten it (rather than a flat iron I mean). So naturally, my hair takes like 20-30 minutes to blow dry, and the guy styling my hair got really frustrated and handed me over to someone else to dry my hair. He was busy, he had other clients - totally understandable. But, I'm not stupid, I could see what was going on. Plus, I got the impression that he'd charged me extra money for the hassle (I had been given a different price up front.) That's not to say that upon leaving he wasn't hospitable and nice. He asked me to come again and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Very nice man, just come on - I'm paying you a lot of money, deal with my crazy hair! read more

Just an FYI for those out there looking for Brazilian/Keratin treatments: Ronnie no longer works there, BUT lovely Brenda does, and the global keratin she uses is so gentle, the process is fast, and she's a meticulous person, which is what this process needs. My only cons: While I was getting shampooed upstairs, she went out to smoke a cigarette. Now, I smoke occasionally too, but I don't really want to pay for someone else's cigarette-hands to be in my hair. Also, Daniel himself was too lazy to finish a blowout for another customer, and midway through MY blowdrying, he made Brenda switch with him. He immediately switched the setting to high (when it's supposed to stay on medium for the treatment). Brenda, obviously irked, ran back quickly and snatched the dryer out of his hand. Now for the upside: when you have Brenda's full attention, you're in very good hands. She was informative and took her time, even though it was right at the end of the day. I know people don't always like the look of the interior, but come on, clearly daniel wanted this to be his little man-pad, what do you expect? The process itself took less than 2 hours, was 200 dollars (I dare you to find a Keratin treatment in the tri-state area for less---you cant.) and smelled really nice. With global Keratin, you only have to wait 48 hours to wash it out, opposed to the normal 72, and as a curly girl it is amazing to have my hair AIR-DRY nearly perfectly straight, totally frizz free, and with no products in it. I haven't even bothered trying to blowdry, no need. Super shiny, and I think it dries faster too! I love it and will go back to see Brenda again! read more

I have never written a negative Yelp review, but this was the WORST haircut I have ever had :( Daniel cut my hair and did not listen to what I wanted at all. I ended up coming out with my hair longer on one side than the other. When I went back for him to fix it, he bluntly chopped the longer side. I asked for bouncy layers and he gave me blunt, flat hair instead. Also, between him and his assistant, they could not straighten my hair well at all...I ended up with poorly flatironed hair that still had ripples in it. I walked in with fabulous hair and walked out with a haircut I would expect from Super Cuts. I will not be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

LOVE Rico for waxing of special areas ;) ! I had been pretty hesitant to get my first wax (over a year ago) not just for pain but, for me, the modesty factor played a huge role. My roommate at the time (a DC native) and all her friends swore by Rico for her gentle, non-assuming, non-judgmental almost grandmotherly ways. They were right! Rico has taken me from my first, bare-basics, bikini-line wax to (my now addiction) Brazilian waxes -- and has always made me feel beyond comfortable (it's always nice to have someone down there telling you you're beautiful, haha). The waxing room is on the top floor by itself so it feels very private. While the salon itself isn't in the newest-looking condition, Rico tells me she never "double dips" into the wax -- important for maintaining sterilization, and not widely practiced, I've heard. I've only ever strayed from her once ( out of necessity on a trip to California) and the experience was NOT the same. The salon was much fancier, and in fact was dedicated solely to waxing -- but my sensitive skin never recovered from the redness and the technician made me feel pretty awkward. Rico is the best. I've been going for over a year and now that I work down the street it's even more convenient for lunch break maintenance! read more

So I came here at the recommendation of some family members. Bad move. My actual haircut was a pretty mediocre job. Cut, blow-dry, which looked pretty much the same as cuts I've gotten from the Hair Cuttery, just with a much higher price tag and more time wasted waiting around for the stylist to come over and actually start cutting my hair. On another note, Daniel's did offer entertainment in the form of some of the biggest flies I have ever seen in my life (and I did live in the tropics for several years). Not joking - there are some massive flies on the first floor of the building, bigger than my thumbnail! I don't know if they come from the restaurants below or next to the salon, but they are a sight for any bug enthusiast or budding entomologist! Nothing like holding still for a haircut while pushing your peripheral vision to the limit to keep an eye on the monster flies, hoping they don't land on you. Fun, fun...not. read more

I'm new to Daniel Hair Salon, but after seeing some very impressive work by their Creative Director (Ms. Nicole B.) I just KNEW I had to get into her chair. Nicole gave me a color job that was OUT of this world. It looks natural, and even for a double process my hair is just as soft and shiny as it was before it was color-treated and I didn't experience any odd changes in my hair texture (which is an issue when I color, a lot of the time). I love the look and feel of the place and she will be handling ALL my haircolor needs going forward! read more

I was calling this salon because I had a deal coupon for one thing and I was thinking about making a day of it before I go on vacation later this month. There are no prices on the website and when I call to ask about a pedicure, I'm told they don't do pedicures. What? It went something like this: "Oh, it says manicures and pedicures on your website." "Yeah, I know, but we don't have them here." "Oh, um, how much is a lower leg wax?" "Just call back tomorrow, she's not here and I don't know how much she charges." *click* Luckily, I was able to get a refund on my coupon. read more

Nicole is the the MOST fab - she's a FULL SERVICE stylist hair, makeup and brows! LOVE HER!!! I'll never let anyone else come near me with wax! read more

Daniel's Hair Salon - Daniel's Hair Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Please do me and yourself a favor AND avoid this sub-par salon!!! I should have known better after reading the reviews for this place, but I had a "social deal" for a haircut and figured I would give it a shot. Long story short, I asked for a trim and left with really short hair that is also slightly uneven. Luckily, I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to hair and I'll just wait for it to grow out, but would like to spare others from such an awful experience!!! read more

I went to Daniel's yesterday for a hair cut. The staff there didn't do the appointment correctly so lucky me, the appt that was supposed to be there cancelled! Well, the salon itself is nice, I don't know why there are bad reviews about the decor, its all wood and mirrors, I think its cool. I saw Santos and asked for a basic hair cut. My hair was long and boring, down to the middle of my back and very straight. I had been growing out an old bleach job and had enough hair now to chop it off. I asked to keep it long but have some shape to it. He did long layers and did as I asked.. its still long enough to put up. I LOVE the cut!! Even my husband likes it.. which is hard to do, believe me. Santos is great, he used to do my hair about ten years ago so I am so happy I found him again! I highly recommend him. read more

I don't understand why the bad reviews. I love Daniel! He has been cutting hair for 30 years and he definitely knows what he's doing. Brought my mom in for a haircut and coloring. The person who had previously cut her hair had given her a mullet. She also had 5 different shades of color. He fixed the colors, toned it down to the right shade and added the perfect blend of highlights. She is one of the pickiest woman I know and she was beyond pleased. Brought her for a second time for her birthday this past weekend and she left a happy customer. I myself have come here twice for a haircut. The second time I came because I had gone to someone who jacked my bangs up and had me looking like a 10 year old. He was able to add layers to the front to blend it in. I should have come here to begin with. Brenda is a sweetheart too. She hasn't cut my hair yet, but I love the blunt bob cut she currently has (done by Daniel) so I'm thinking about doing that the next time I want a drastic change. I will continue to come here and ignore all these negative reviews :) read more

Daniel is friggin AWESOME! I got a deal for keratin from living social or one of those buywithme, groupon-esk sites. I called several times to change my appointment because my schedule is CRAZY and I realize that can be VERY annoying, but Daniel was super accommodating to my schedule and even met me at the shop an hour before they opened so he could fit me in! My hair never looked better! By the time I left, I looked awesome and felt even better! I felt like I'd been going to him for YEARS!! It's a beautiful salon and HUGE! Thanks Daniel! You're the BEST!! :) read more

I, like many others who have posted, originally went to Daniel's because I had a deal coupon for a haircut and color. I have terribly genes and the stress of DC means I started graying at 17. I've now moved into the must-get-lowlights-every-3-months stage, but haven't found a salon that does a good partial lowlight and trim for a good price. Unfortunately, as much as I love Daniel, this isn't the place. Daniel did an amazing job with my hair. I felt pampered, loved the color (he did two different shades that looked completely natural), and seriously felt as if I could turn heads on the way home with the cut and styling. He's not, however, a good manager. He's an immigrant with a great personality, but the way he speaks to his (female) employees just shouldn't fly. On that walk home, I started thinking about how much I paid -- so much ($150 + tip) that I thought they couldn't have possibly accounted for my large coupon ($75). A month or so later I found myself in the area and stopped in to ask. Daniel assured me that they had indeed used my coupon, but was willing to give me another lowlight and cut for free then and there. It was fantastic customer service and he was really trying to keep me as a customer. I went back once more and Daniel, again, gave me a discount and two colors for the price of one (there are apparently no fixed prices). He told me that if I came back he'd "take care of me" but I haven't out of fear for how much he'd charge. I suppose I could try bargaining or tell him what I'll pay up front... They say you get what you pay for and this place is great hair at a high price. read more

I went to Daniel's and the experience was so great that I recommended my wife to go there. She! Came home smiling for the service that she received from her visit there. She couldn't stop talking about Daniel in the way he colored her hair/highlight/haircut. Which the results were impeccable and she will be returning there from now on. read more

I followed Renah to Daniels Salon because I will go wherever Renah goes, it's plain and simple. I just happened to luck out that Daniel's is even closer now! She's terrific at cutting hair and has a wonderful personality to boot. Modestly calling herself a small-fish in a big pond at this salon, she's really a superstar. I'm sure she'll be booked up like crazy (if she's not already) and I've put her due date (she's having a baby!) on my calendar so I don't forget. read more

Nicole Butler is a magician! Her color and cuts are downright brilliant. She wields her tools like a true artist should and she LISTENS. She can make your dream hair a reality. No matter what ethnicity, color you crave, hair you have always wanted, she can make it happen. It's not often that I give such a glowing review to a place I've only been twice, but Nicole warrants this and more. She is one of the best stylists I have ever had and you will be doing yourself (and your hair, love life,etc.) a favor by booking some time in her chair. read more

Ok guys, here's an update... I still stand my by dreaded haircut, but another of the stylists (whose name I'll mention only if they want me to), personally contacted me and offered a free fix. That was well done and shows good business etiquette. Unfortunately, I did not check my messages and now I'm just back to needing a haircut. Anyway, I felt like I should bump the star just for his response. Good show! read more

Totally overpriced. I went there for a hair up-do. the lady that did my hair was nice, but that was about it. She was not very experienced. She had to re-do some locks twice, and when she was done, it wasn't what i expected nor wanted. It was Too simple and not so nice. At that moment, I wished i had just done my hair myself and saved the money! and when i went downstairs to pay, she told me that I had to pay$85!!! and I was like wooh! $85 for a very simple, quick up do??? I paid and left... Sad and upset. read more

HORRIBLE experience! I I hadn't heard of this salon before but Bloomspot.com had a deal on it for a TWO hour European facial for $60 ($120 original value) and since I work in Dupont Circle I decided to try it. I am originally from Europe and I have gotten very good authentic European facials there. The description on Bloomspot for the facial said that it would be a deep, extraction, deep exfoliation and masks treatment. I even called to make sure it included deep extraction of the blackheads and the person assured me it would. To book my appointment I had to call back several times because there was a woman with a thick English accent that kept answering and telling me to call back later. I finally got a hold of another person and they booked my appointment wrong, I wanted Thursday at 11AM and the person booked me Friday at 11AM. I show up that Thursday at 11AM and the owner kept calling for the facial aesthetician and she wasn't coming down. Finally, the book keeping lady asks me if my appointment is at 12PM and I said that it was supposed to be at 11AM and I have been waiting for 15 minutes. Then she tells me I am in the book for Friday at 11AM so I have to come back the next day. I asked if there is any way to squeeze me in later in the day and I was told that they only have one lady that does facials and she is booked all through the day. I couldn't come that Friday so I had to cancel my appointment. I finally rescheduled for Friday, June 10th. A day before the facial, June 9th Bloomspot emailed me to tell me that they made a mistake and it is actually a one hour facial instead of a two hour facial. The ONLY reason I bought it was because it was a TWO hour facial, because I had already bought a one hour facial through Bloomspot for another salon. I also bought it because it was a EUROPEAN deep extraction facial. I disregarded the email and thought that the salon would still grant the two hours since it wasn't my fault it was falsely advertised. I came in at 12.30AM when my appointment was. I was told to go to the 3RD floor where it was so hot, it felt like a sauna. The lady, I think her name was Ricco was nice but could barely speak English. She told me the steps of the facial and it sounded promising. But instead I got something completely different than I expected! There was no deep extraction included that removed my blackheads, all she did was put a bunch of masks, oils and massage my face and neck...something I could have done at home because I have products to do my own masks. It was nothing like a European facial like they claimed! While she was putting masks in my face I specifically asked her if this is somehow going to remove my blackheads and she said it definitely will. Her definition of a deep extraction was apparently putting some scrubby masks on my face and then using a wet cloth to clean it up. I looked in the mirror afterwards and my face was exactly as it was when I had entered that room...only softer. Also while I was on the bed she asked me if I have a Bloomspot paper or a Living Social one, I said Bloomspot and she told me they made a mistake and it is not two hours because she never does two hours, because and I quote "it is too much for the skin to take"?! Too much for the skin to take? She didn't do anything to remove my blackheads so how would my skin even be agitated or irritated?! She also put another mask on my face and she said it needs to dry so she left the room for 10 minutes. She came back and smelled like smoke so she definitely went to have her smoke break. and the original value of this is $120? HAHA. Don't go there and spend 120 dollars on something you can literally do at home yourself and spend 40 bucks on creams and masks. I was disappointed all together at the salon's services and the aesthetician that I did my facial. I don't understand how something can be so falsely advertised. I called Bloomspot to complain today because as I said the only reason I bought this deal was because it was a TWO hour EUROPEAN facial and it turned out not to be. Bloomspot was nice and refunded me the $60 in bloombucks that I can use for future deals through Bloomspot. good enough for now. If you are like me and you bought a deal for this salon through Bloomspot and you want to have a deep EXTRACTION done that really removes your blackheads you won't get it at Daniel's Salon because Ricco is their only facial "specialist". Call Bloomspot and get your money refunded. Bloomspot would have given me a refund to my bank account if I hadn't used it at the salon but they need to pay the salon now so that is why they could only grant a Bloomspot credit of $60. read more

I was in DC for a professional conference and was so delighted that Daniel kindly cut and styled my hair so That I looked perfect. What a true gem and I love my hair now. Beautiful, unique and historic salon. I know I'll enjoy going back on my next trip. Thank you Daniel! read more

my haircut ended with "well, can you just wear a hat for a few days?" so you can deduce the rest.

I really hate to give such a low rating, but my experience here was really poor. Quick run down: no AC, only one competent employee (Brenda), ineffective Keratin treatment. I came to Daniel's Hair Salon to redeem a voucher for a Brazilian Keratin Treatment. I had trouble from the beginning booking an appointment. The women who answered the phone spoke English with a very heavy accent and kept asking me to call back to reach the person who performs this service. I ended up having to call back 5 times (each time, I called back at the exact hour the receptionist told me to) in order to get in touch with someone who could help me. I was able to book an appointment during my lunch our for the next day. When I got to the salon, 5 minutes early, I was directed upstairs without any further instruction or assistance. I get upstairs and there are two people sitting in the styling chairs chatting, and another person just staring into the mirror. No one pays me any attention so finally I ask if any of them work there. The women chatting say no, the person checking himself out just ignores me (I figured out later that he did in fact work there). Finally, after standing around for a few minutes feeling like an idiot someone comes in and tells me to get myself a smock. Then Brenda comes in and tells me she'll be with me in just a minute after she blow dries someone else's hair. She says we'll be doing my hair upstairs because their AC is busted and it's cooler up here. So I sit and wait about 10 minutes and Brenda tells me that another woman is going to wash my hair and she'll be back in a few minutes. She leaves, and comes back and is surprised to find that no one has washed my hair yet. She seats me at the washing station and after a few more minutes (it's 30 minutes past my appointment time by now) a woman comes over to wash my hair. This was the most unpleasant hair washing experience I have ever endured. There was the tolerable soap and water all up in my ears and running down my face, but the water was also scalding when she first put it on my head (she didn't test it first), and she kept lifting my head to get the hair closer to my neck, each time rubbing her damp boob on my face. It was absolutely terrible. While my hair is being washed, Brenda is saying she's concerned because there is now no one down stairs (where her belongings are, as well as the reception area) because it's so hot, so she wants to do my hair down stairs after all. She is dripping with sweat because it's so warm inside. So she leads me down stairs and proceeds to start the treatment. Brenda is very pleasant and seemed to be the only person in the salon with any clue. As she's doing my hair there are two people at the reception desk, one on the phone, and another line is ringing off the hook. Brenda finally tells one of the other receptionists to answer the phone after it rings about 10 times. Later one, another customer comes down to pay and the receptionist asks the customer how much the service she received is supposed to cost. It was bonkers. Okay, so now the treatment. I've had one other Keratin treatment, back in November. It made me fall in love with my hair. It did everything I read it should do: made my hair dry quicker, eliminated frizz, hair dried straight (like, really straight), etc. I was expecting a similar experience. I visited the salon on Wednesday May 25th at lunch time.I did everything right: waited to wash my hair over 48 hours, used organic, non-sulfate shampoo, no clips or hair ties. Immediately after the treatment my hair felt differently than it did last time: heavier and kind of sticky. I thought maybe it was just a different product. After washing my hair for the first time, it wasn't soft or smooth any more and dried with a significant amount of wave, very unlike the first time I had this done. This morning, my bangs (which I told Brenda were my biggest concern), were a big wavy mess by the time I got to work because of the heat and humidity. Brenda was really very friendly so I feel really bad leaving such a negative review. I have no idea what went wrong with my Keratin treatment, but it's totally unsatisfactory, as was my experience overall with this salon. read more

**Disclaimer: I'm writing this review on behalf of a friend who does not live in DC, nor has a Yelp account. My friend, we'll call her Cher Horowitz, was visiting for several days and really wanted to get her hair cut while she was in town. Friends of friends, and online reviews, led her to Daniel's Salon. Cher actually scheduled her appointment for the wrong day, and Daniel was kind enough to squeeze her in about 20 minutes before we could even get there. Granted, it was after 5 on a weekday, but I was pleasantly surprised at his willingness to take on a new client with such little advance notice. The decor is very old school, with lots of dark wood, brass fixtures, and black leather couches. It definitely felt more like a men's club than a "salon." However, everyone was pleasant and inviting. We waited about 5 minutes while Daniel finished another client--although I didn't see if Daniel colored it himself, both the color and the cut looked healthy and well-styled. Daniel listened to Cher's concerns about her hair and went right to work. She has long, fine hair and while she wanted to keep the length, she wanted more layers and volume, volume, volume. Daniel spent about 10 minutes snipping and chatting away, and then, voila, he was finished. Cher's hair looked great! He paid close to attention to what she wanted, and definitely gave her hair more style and volume. In fact, Cher was so pleased with her hair and with service that she asked me to write this review for her, so that other people could try out the salon. And there you have it! read more

Brazilian wax? Beware! I had a Bloomspot deal for a Brazilian - $39. Not bad. Roca (Raca? Rocka? Not sure how to spell her name) is a teeney little Asian woman who packs a punch. Prepare thyself for multiple rips from the same patch of skin over and over again. I took a shot of gin and two Advil before the wax based on Julie F's review. It wasn't enough. I wavered between laughing and crying due to the humiliation and pain. I'm a sucker for a coupon/deal - but no future discount will ever be enough to entice me to return. read more

Tina H. My experience was awesome! I've been going to Daniel for about two years and every time I've had my hair done by Daniel was phenomenal! I use to see my hair stylist for 16 years, things have changed and one day I decided to see Simone new. I walked in to Daniels and asked for a haircut- and since then Daniel has been my stylist.Almost every time I make my appointment which is usually last minute, Daniel has been accommodating. Daniel is excellent! His staff are all friendly! Love the atmosphere although could use a little remodeling. I'll wouldn't think twice and definitely will recommend Daniels to family and friends! read more

I was extremely disappointed with this place. They were overbooked and understaffed. They shifted me around (or tried to) to other hairdressers at the last minute. The cut itself (which was with daniel himself no less) was third rate, and took all of 5 mins (because he overbooked). He took no time to hear what I wanted, there was no blow drying, no effort to see if the cut looked any good, which it did not. I went there because of a living social deal ($50 for $100 dollars worth of hair treatment), but because they don't post their prices, you're not sure what you can get for the money. It turns out $100 dollars gets you a conditioning treatment and a 5 min haircut, without blowdry. Save your money! I am very particular about my haircuts, and oftentimes they don't turn out the way I want, but when the hairstylist makes no effort to listen and gives you a 5 min haircut (I'm not kidding on this. it was extremely unprofessional), I feel justified in getting on yelp and writing a bad review. All in all, I got the distinct impression that Daniel's isn't an honest place or a very professional place. If you don't want to feel misused, go someplace else. read more

I am relocating to DC and was looking for a new hair stylist and Daniel did not disappoint. He was great. Fixed my hair coloring disaster from a previous stylist Daniel has a customer for life with me. read more

I feel bad giving such a low rating but I would absolutely never come back here. I used a Living Social deal which was a waste. The deal was $50 for a $100 voucher. Before my appointment, I went it to check their rates (since they aren't online) and Daniel said that "they are still printing their rate cards." For a salon that has been in business for over 30 years (according to the hair dresser today), I find this shocking. He then told me the hair cut would be $65 so I asked what else I would get for my $100 living social...he said they will take care of me and do a conditioning treatment. Fine. Still a good deal. As I was walking up to the salon, there were two people smoking on the steps, one who ended up being my hair washer. Daniel was out sick so they asked if I could come back another time. Unfortunately I could not. Brenda said someone upstairs would take care of me but then she changed her mind and said she would be taking care of me. Hair was was extremely uncomfortably. Physically, the head rest thing is NOT comfortable. I was also the ONLY person upstairs so it was eery. Then, while my "conditioning treatment" (which, by the way, could have been total BS, who even knows) was drying....the guy who was originally going to cut my hair starts washing his own hair in the sink! It was all very strange and being the only person upstairs, I felt very uncomfortable. Brenda ended up doing a decent job on my hair, so I tipped her but I still think that the Living Social deal was a rip off since they never really explained their rates or the so-called conditioning treatment that they gave me. I guess that is what you get for using a Living Social at a salon. read more

Ask for Calvin. He did a quick hair style for me for a wedding. It was exactly what I wanted and lasted all night.

I made the mistake of going to Daniel's salon because they had a pretty good living social deal. I needed to touch up my highlights because my roots were starting to show, so I thought I would get them done here. Daniel himself did my hair, and I told him that I wanted the highlights to be the same color as what was already there. He rushed through the whole thing, and the highlights ended up looking terrible!! They are stripey and way too blonde, so it does not look natural at all! I am really disappointed, but I will not go back to him to get them fixed because I do not trust him to do a good job. Even though he charged me far more than I usually pay, I am planning on finding another salon tomorrow to get them fixed. To everyone who bought the living social deal, I would advise against coming here for highlights! read more
