    Perfect layering
    Ciera M.

    Amalia gave me layers exactly how I asked for & I love them! She also took the perfect amount off the ends. I'll definitely be back for future cuts.

    Back at it again. Brought Lg with me this time. Beautiful hair all around. The tin is currently giving me psychic abilities so I'm doing well.

    Choppy bang trim.

    I gave this place a second chance after one bad experience...I should've have done that. I asked the stylist for a subtle trim of my curtain bangs. She gave me this choppy trim instead. Horribly uneven, and won't lay right. They don't work as ordinary straight bangs or curtain bangs. So I'm stuck with this until they grow out. Luna's hair design has damaged my self image, and I will not be returning

    Social distancing, not a problem
    Kimberly A.

    I've been a customer for years but I took the last 10 months off from going to any salons, due to COVID. Today is my first time back and I'm super pleased with the way this salon is handling precautions. In order for you to trust this review, I feel it's necessary to share my own precautions. I work from home, bulldoze my way through the grocery store to get out quickly, wipe my groceries before placing them inside the fridge, wipe my takeout containers, double mask, and avoid hanging with friends/fam indoors. I'm sure those who haven't been to a salon are wondering what it's like here these days, so I'm writing this in hopes of providing a sense of relief. I also feel it's worth sharing this to help the stylists here, since most DC businesses are slow/struggling at the moment. This salon is taking serious precautions, especially Alicia (I've been her customer for nearly 7 years). She was wearing 2 masks and I noticed she washed her hands frequently. She sanitized every single chair before I sat down, and after I got up. I also noticed that once I took off my smock, she placed it in the wash immediately. AKA there's no sharing supplies here between customers. There's also plexiglass between the drying/washing stations but didn't see more than 1 client in each area. They're rotating employees here so that people aren't working next to each other. I'd say they're operating at about a 25-50% capacity, depending on how many appointments there are. When I showed up, it was just Alicia and I, and then 1 stylist at the other end, with her client. So 4 people total, and far apart. I arrived around 4pm for color and a cut on a Wednesday. When the other stylist finished with her only client, she left for the day. This meant Alicia and I were the only ones inside the salon. It felt like a private, VIP experience with no one else really around during my appointment. I can honestly say I felt very safe. When it comes to the talent, I was and still am a fan of Alicia's color and cut techniques. I chose to go on the trendier side this time and asked for a deep rose color balayage. Something new and fun! Why not. I've done balayage with her plenty of times, and I typically go for shades of blonde on my brown hair. This was a new ask I made of her, and she delivered! Pretty stoked as this was exactly what I showed her I wanted from Pinterest photos. Wanted to post a video of how empty and safe it was, but I'm just now realizing you can't upload videos here?! So here are photos of the space as I experienced it, along with my new color. Hope this review helps anyone questioning getting their hair done! Perhaps it's time to fix those roots you've been growing out for 10 months, or letting a professional cut your hair. Your mane will thank you!

    You can see how uneven and choppy the cut is
    Shela H.

    I've been going to Luna's in and off for years. I was always satisfied with my haircut every time I went, except for my last visit. In past visits to Luna's salon, I never worried about who cut my hair bcs everyone always did a great job. So naturally, when I booked my appointment I just chose who was first available at the time and date I needed my haircut. I had my haircut with Silvia. She was super sweet and we had a nice chat, but the quality of of the cut did not match the quality of our conversation. My haircut was super choppy and quite uneven. I waited out 3 weeks thinking the haircut will grow out to be fine, but I was wrong. I tried to email the salon but the email linked on their website doesn't seem to be working. I also left a Facebook message but have yet to receive a reply.

    "Correction" to the overly blonde streaks

    Have seen Alicia like... 3 times now I think, and she has never once screwed up my balayage on ashy dark brown/black hair or my cut with long layers. I hadn't seen her in 6 months, went this past Friday, was so excited, told her what i wanted, she seemed to get it, but i ended up with super streaky HIGHLIGHTS not balayage... thought it looked fine, went home, showed friends, they told me i definitely needed to go back. Saturday i go back, the stylist says she didn't leave the toner on long enough and she sees the issue, it'll get fixed no problem at all. I'm hopeful, bc she's never messed up my hair before. She does the toner, and i thought that looked fine in the salon too, but in daylight and when home, i realized my hair was red-purple and the bottom half was totally caramel blonde and nothing was blended. My ends looked super dry and blonde and the top was odd colored I thought maybe i would ask Luna herself to fix it again, but after seeing more reviews, i decided this place is just a no-go for me anymore. Ended up having to book a whole new appointment at a different salon and paying full price obviously for that stylist's corrections. That stylist also evened up the work done at Luna's, losing me another inch of hair when i ONLY wanted HALF AN INCH cut off all together from Luna's in the first place. Super frustrating, waste of money, waste of time to go into Luna's TWICE, and another salon a third time. So so frustrating given how exited i was and how important hair is for image (at least to me). I haven't had this bad of hair in over 2 years. Idk what happened this time around. Alicia has always been great, the salon always has been so accommodating and lovely and professional. It almost seemed like Alicia got double booked or something during my appointment, maybe she was distracted? Idk. She's GREAT for cutting and does lovely layers but maybe not my favorite for coloring. Really an inconsistent result for her but i think it's worth sharing. (Alicia was extremely apologetic when i went in for the correction... and insisted i leave happy but i swear the lighting in that place makes it impossible to tell what color you're leaving with. Alicia has amazing pricing and like never charges me as much as I think it'll be, but even still at the affordable price this appointment was (for coloring), i wish i could get my money back)

    Yikes!  I asked for layers between my chin and mouth, not up to my ears!
    Erin D.

    Pros: Friendly front desk staff; location; quick appointments (I got one in less than a week); cheap Cons: The important things, like hair styling. I went in for a long overdue hair cut. It had been about a year since my last hair cut, mostly because I moved and was nervous about finding a new salon. My hair is pretty easy; it's straight, not too thick or thin, and I dunt color it or anything. I told Luna, the stylist, that I wanted layers with the longest at the bottom of my chin and the shortest at my mouth. I even demonstrated the lengths with my hands. Before I knew it, she was chopping all my hair off and I was left with hair at my ears. She didn't ask me any questions to clarify what I wanted, didn't cut a bit and say, "is that a good length?" Thankfully, my hair will grow back and eventually be the length I wanted. If you go here, be REALLY specific about what your want and bring pictures.

    Yellow hair
    Caroline P.

    I am not one to write bad reviews as I generally feel really bad saying something negative about a business or a person. However, I am so upset I can't keep my mouth shut. I went to Luna's yesterday for my appointment and Luna did my full highlight. Luna is the owner and thus, you'd assume she is good at doing hair. I've been getting my hair highlighted blonde for over 15 years (as you can see from my profile picture I've never had an issue getting pretty, light blonde). I told her ahead of time I like whiter blonde, not yellow, brassy or orange. She said great. When we got back to her chair after washing my hair, I immediately saw yellow and said something. She assured me it was because it was still wet. Even after blow drying my hair a bit it was still yellow to me, but I thought it might be the lighting and didn't want to complain more. Big mistake on my part. Here I am the next day and this is the worst coloring I've had done in years! I've attached pictures for proof. Unfortunately I had to go home today for the holidays, so I can't even go back to have her fix it. Instead I'm going to go to a salon in my hometown (in another state) tomorrow and pray they can help. The worst part is, even if I could live with the awful color, she didn't even get to the roots. So it looks like I have a month of regrowth and it's been one day. The whole point of getting your hair done, especially highlights, is to not have roots. I'm baffled this is the work of someone who owns a hair salon!

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.

Except for French woman named Sophie who can do decent cuts, there is no any other stylists skilled in precision haircuts. Came here and one of their top stylists gave me the worse cut I've ever had in my life. I've had to wait more than 6 months to grow my hair out from the horrible layers he did on me. He literally just chopped my hair up. The bottom of my hair in the back was an upside down triangle! Every stylist knows it should be straight across and maybe just a bit rounded on the sides! Any salon would have easily provided a (normal) soft, feminine, sexy, natural cut that is subtle perhaps at different skill levels. This guy clearly had no concept of how to cut (straight) hair because his clueless messes get disguised easily in wavy or curly hair or in a blow dry with curling brush.

    UPDATE: Jillian threatened me with legal action for writing this review…read more After being a loyal client of Jillian for hair cuts and Adrian for brow waxing since at least 2016 until 2018, before I moved back to San Francisco and to Plano, Texas, I returned to NoVA/DC - moving on election day in Nov 2020 - because it seemed like NoVA/DC was being pragmatic about covid-19 regulations vs. the two extremes in CA & TX. I messaged with Jillian prior to my move on 11/3/2020 to learn how Karma was handling covid-19 regulations, because there were no capacity restrictions in Texas, so I hadn't had my hair cut or colored for 7-months - the longest I've ever gone. I saw her and Adrian on 11/22/2020, and even brought them both "welcome home" rose gold goodie bags with cards, Sugarfina rose gummies & chocolate caramels, and masks. I knew the global pandemic was especially hard on the beauty industry, because my aesthetician in San Francisco & her mom had to close 2 of their 3 salons in the Bay Area - in spite of being open since the 1970s. I was therefore sensitive to this fact. Which is why it was even more bizarre when I learned on social media in December 2020 that Jillian was moving to Dallas, Texas in January 2021, after she listened to my stories about Texas and pumped me for specifics about salons there, and at no point told me about her move. I later learned she told some clients about her move and not others, and that she expected Karma to tell me about it. However, the poor communication continued, given Karma never emailed me, the same way I never receive receipts for my "contact-less" transactions, and they still ask for my physical credit card, in spite of verifying its existence on file. The poor communication and the broken technology are both annoying. I let that go, and worked with Jillian - via social media - to book hair cut appointments with her for the next 6 months on Saturdays, however even when we agreed on my preferred time slot (4pm), she booked them for 5pm, because that worked best for her, she said. Not very friendly customer service for loyal clients! She also initially told the receptionist she was booked in February, which initiated our social media messages, requiring me to book with her directly. Then magically she's staying late for me! In parallel, as to the quality of Jillian's cuts, I started seeing her when she used to place a placemat on my shoulders to ensure her cuts were even, and I was always happy with how even they were over the years. That said, I've been very clear - including bringing drawings and instructions from my stylists in San Francisco, who do editorial work for Nordstrom & Gap, and trained in London & globally - that I don't like "shelves" of layers in my hair, I prefer long layers, I don't like corners, and I prefer professional cutting techniques to remove weight vs. thinning shears that butcher the ends of my hair without expertise. Jillian uses thinning shears, and my last cut included all the things I don't want mentioned above. It was, however, even at the bottom. I let this go, because I've had uneven cuts in DC, and I knew that by August 2021, I would need to find a new stylist anyway. I did, however, vocalize my concerns to Jillian yesterday & today about the inaccuracy of rapid covid tests, in parallel with Texas removing their mask mandate, while she travels back & forth between a covid hotspot & DC over the coming months, and she decided to cancel my appointments as a result. That's fine. I'd rather not contract covid, which is exactly why I left Texas. Which brings me to the brow waxes. Due to schedule availability, I booked an eyebrow wax with Erwin in December 2020, and his brow waxes are better - and more expensive - than Adrian's. Erwin's shape was superb, and similar to my favorite brow artist in San Francisco, who's regularly voted best brows. However, Erwin did not pluck or wax the hairs in between my brows, which I had to do myself. He also told me the gold dab of eye shadow I placed in the center corners of my eyes made me look cross-eyed, which I found insulting, so I suggested he remove it if he found it distracting. He asked me who gave me that make-up guidance, and "if they were black". Was that a racist comment? And why was he criticizing me, his paying client?!? I tried booking a brow wax in January 2021 with either Erwin or Adrian, and learned they were both at home quarantining with covid. Surprisingly, when I saw Adrian in February 2021, he criticized my brows, saying how much they needed a wax. Obvi! Why do he and Erwin feel it's OK to criticize their clients? Furthermore, they were uneven. Shockingly, I pointed this out to Adrian, and he agreed that my left brow was taller than my right, and re-plucked, yet when I got home, I still had to fix myself, comparing to my photo of my best brows in San Francisco. He also over trimmed the end of my right brow. If you like being treated as a client, look elsewhere.

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!
