Fred is The Best. He listens to his clients and offers amazing suggestions. The ambiance of the salon is great -- first class all the way! Go on, get yourself Fredded. read more

Heather Finkel, hair colorist, is incredibly talented. I've had other colorists in the past who made the whole process so complicated and uncomfortable. Heather does a terrific job and makes it all so easy--the sign of a true expert! I highly recommend this salon and especially Heather for your hair color. Her talent is complemented by her being such a nice and intelligent person! read more

It's funny, I just scheduled my next cut appointment with Alaina for tomorrow (which is WAY overdue...I apologize in advance) and I saw what the last reviewer said regarding her cuts lasting so long. SO TRUE! Her haircuts are amazing! She pays such close attention to your needs for your style (e.g.: I don't want it to take 30 minutes to style my hair every single morning, etc. etc. and cuts accordingly. Each time I go to her I come out super-happy, with hair that falls right, a cut that lasts, and I receive oodles of compliments on her work. I send them all your way! Thank you One80! read more

I couldn't be happier with Fred. Seriously... the guy has OCD or something, and is obsessed with getting your hair right. I'm a little concerned by others' reviews of their coloring abilities, but I guess I'll have more to offer in that regards later this week. read more

Heads turn when I walk by now. I'm working on growing my short (thick, not wavy not straight) hair into something more chin length, so I needed to find a stylist who could cut out some of the volume but still give me a shape to grow out gracefully. The receptionist verbally lit up when I said that, and booked me within the week with Jordan. It's been about a month since that cut, and my hair has stood the test of growth - looks amazing. It was an awesome cut, at a convenient salon, with great products and accessible people. read more

I had an appointment scheduled with Roger for Tuesday September 13th at 2p. I came from NYC to DC to get my haircut and at noon - while still en route - I was told Roger called out and I was out of luck. There was no apology and was totally unprofessional. I'm never going back. read more

I loved this salon. I was a client of Remi. I called the day of and they fit me in. The person who answered the phone was professional and incredibly accommodating. The salon has a calm environment. It is so well designed, it didn't have the noisy, rushed feelings other salons have. It was quiet and peaceful despite several customers being serviced. Remi listened, took his time, and really improved my look without changing my style. I noticed other women getting colored and their stylist were so attentive and complete in their approach. I was so impressed overall. I highly suggest. read more

Y'all!! I came in with a blunt, boring, flat hair. Lydia (I hope that is her name, I didn't catch it amidst the noise; someone should correct me) read my mind and as she was playing with my hair to see what is needed to get done; I said "I want layers" she immediately said "YUP you do" the other salons I've been to never listen to my requests and end up doing something completely different and wrong - UGH. After many research attempts to find a great place, I was directed to One80 and let's just say, I AM coming back! Initially I wanted to reserve a color and cut, however they were fully booked for color so I will have to come back. I cannot wait. Ps: My cut comprised of shampoo (and an amazing scalp massage - I need a man who can do that to me every week!), cut, blowdry = $105 before tip. They only accept cash as tips (which I did not have) but they have an ATM in the salon for you to withdraw cash if you want. It is worth it ladies! Give them a shot. read more

I had a great experience at One80. I booked my appointment with Fred, and I couldn't be happier. We started with a nice, long conversation about my hair, and we were definitely on the same page. He listened to what I had to say and offered several suggestions for how my look could be improved. From the receptionist who offered me a beverage, to Emil, who shampooed my hair, to my stylist, Fred, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I have to say, for a high-end, expensive salon, nothing felt pretentious or snooty. It is also a smaller salon, so I felt like I really got a lot of personal attention. I haven't even talked about the haircut yet, but it's fabulous. Fred took his time on the cut, and gave me a fabulous blowout. He also took the time to offer styling and maintenance tips. My only slight complaint is that they did push product a little, but there were no hard feelings when I opted not to buy anything. As others have said, this salon only does cash tips. However, they have conveniently placed envelopes at the front desk where you can leave your tip, which really cuts down on the awkwardness that is salon tipping. Overall, it was a great experience, and I wouldn't even think of going anywhere else. read more

Coming from Chicago, I've had my hair cut by some pretty chic salons, including Maxine and Buzz. One80 is up there with the best! (1) Great location and staff (2) Amy was very understanding when I explained that my hair got mauled by an apprentice four months ago. She evened me up while sparing my length. (3) Fantastic blow-out! I felt like a super-model while running errands, thanks to my beautifully-cut, bouncy hair. :) Worth every penny! read more

I love Peter. He is a great colorist with a friendly personality. I leave with a smile every time. Not only a great colorist but entertaining. read more

AMAZING experience. It is on the pricey side for a blow out, but it's definitely worth it - really. I came in feeling stressed and tired and I left feeling amazing (and with really soft hair that smelled amazing for the rest of the weekend!) I had the best head massage while I was having my hair washed and Renee who styled my hair was amazing and super friendly. I am writing this review partly so I remember to go back the next time I am in DC -- the trip back can't come soon enough! read more

Aelayna cut and dried my hair. Took off four inches and added style. She knew how to maintain volume with the cut and made great recommendations to achieve that. I love how she cut and styled my hair. I also saw remy cut and style another ladies hair and it looked amazing! Finally found my salon in DC! Thank you salon one80 I live my haircut and style! See you again in a couple weeks. read more

The service has been bad of late, especially the owner, Remi. He is rude to clients as he has cancelled appointments arbitrarily and refused to speak to people he deems as "unworthy." The prices are a bit much, but for DC not too bad. I would not pay those prices for the bad service by the owner and stylist again. Overall, although the decor is very chic, the total lack of respect for clients is apparent. read more

Pricey but so worth it. I had my second cut with Kelly and I'm obsessed. She's the best at an effortless look and their hair masks leave my hair feeling soft and looking super healthy. read more

I went to One80 for the first time and had an appointment with Fred. I had the same experience that Teej S. has described in her review. I asked for a short cut, and let Fred make the decisions. My hair was cut using an unusual method, that involved shredding the ends with the blades of his scissors. This didn't result in a razor cut look as I was expecting; it just made my hair look fried at the end. I looked fine leaving the salon, after much work with the flat iron and A LOT of product. I bought the product, and fired up the flat iron, but when I had to do it on my own, it was a different story. The back was left much longer than the sides, and I pretty much was left with a mullet topped by a bowl cut. There were no choppy layers throughout the cut to give it shape, or make it look texturized. The salon is gorgeous, and the staff is extremely nice, but I'm heading back to my old salon, where they lovingly called my One80 style "the helmet". read more

After 4+ years of being a client, I can easily say that it doesn't get much better than One80. Jeremy is AMAZING with color, makes the rare inconvenience fully accomodated and is ALWAYS a pleasure. And, both Remi & Tyler have made miracles happen with my cut. LOVE how easy it is to book and the simple reminders. Looking forward to many more visits here. read more

FRED IS THE BEST!!!! I went to him on a recommendation of a friend....I just moved back into DC and I've had some pretty harrowing experiences trying to get a good hair cut in DC. I have curly hair, and if you have curly hair, you know how hard it is to find someone who TRULY knows how to cut it right! So, I came to see Fred. As soon as you walk in, you'll be impressed with how clean and simple and pretty it is. And the girl who works at the front counter, Shannon, is extremely sweet and helpful and smiley, not the usual type who usually works a front counter at a high end salon. So, anyway, I basically got the best haircut I've ever gotten!! He is wonderful. Before he even sent me to get my hair washed, he sat me down so we could talk about what I wanted to do with my hair. It was a really thorough consultation. I also felt so comfortable with him. We talked the whole time. And he really took his time. I've never had someone take so much time to cut and style my hair. You could see how much he cared the whole time, and then with my end result, you could see how talented he is. Go see Fred!!!!!!!!! He's the best! read more

Looking for Melissa Murphy now that she's left One80? I was/am a longtime client of hers who'd followed her from Ilo to this salon. She left a few weeks ago and has resurfaced, working privately. I just came back from an appointment and her contact info's below. The rating above is for One80. If I were rating Melissa, it's a 10. She's superb. Melissa is an artist with color; I'm...uh...full of opinions about hair color (and I've been pretty much every color) but I trust her taste and judgment over my own, which is high praise. Also, she's a technician: no good getting color if it oxidizes quickly or vanishes overnight. Melissa knows how to make it stick including covering some nasty greys. New contact info, written to avoid spam surfers: melissamurphyhair(at)gmail(dot)com read more

Carl Ray is what brought me, and will continue to bring me, to One80 Salon. Carl is simply the most talented make up artist I have had the privledge of working with, typically for special occassions and events. The salon is very open, contemporary, and staff friendly. Renee did my blow out and Carl my make up. I was the belle of the ball thanks to their combined talents.For ANY special occassions where you would like your make up professionally 'done' make an appointment with Carl. You will be amazed at your transformation. read more

This is more of a review of Roger, a stylist at the salon, rather than the salon itself. The search for a great stylist with a gracious and friendly demeanor can be futile. I dreaded this task, but I had no choice. My job sent me to DC for a yearlong assignment and I needed to find someone I could trust. After spending a few days reading reviews of area salons on Yelp, I finally decided to go with this salon. I was extremely happy that I did! I was scheduled with Roger. I was nervous all day, the day of my appointment...it is never easy trusting someone with your hair. However, when I was introduced to Roger, once I checked in with the receptionist, my fears washed away... Roger greeted me with a huge smile and was very warm. He sat down with me and spent time discussing my wishes and concerns. He was very patient and understanding. He took his time with me to make certain we were on the same page. I received a wonderful wash and condition of my hair from his assistant, yet Roger continued to check in on me throughout. My service for this first visit was a blowout, and he used a flat iron to style. He was incredibly gentle, and continued to check in with me while he styled my hair to make sure I was happy. I have not had a stylist that cared so much about my satisfaction and comfort throughout the entire experience like Roger. I am very happy I took a chance...I received many compliments and my style lasted several weeks, which is not easy because of the curly and coarse texture of my hair. It survived the DC humidity and that is quite a feat! I made another appointment with Roger before I left the salon; I am looking forward to feeling pampered and renewed once again. read more

This place is without peer. They are experts in their crafts. Friendly, engaging, and skillful. I strongly suggest you consider Jeremy, Heather and Alanea. They open early in Saturday and Sunday, a huge convenience for busy people. It's not cheap but quality costs. You won't want to go elsewhere after going here. read more

Alanea is AMAZING! I decided to dye my hair for the first time (Heather did a wonderful job) and happened to luck out and get Alanea to blow dry my hair. She is the bomb! I am addicted to her. This is a higher end salon but I love the way she does my hair so much that I find myself going there often for just a blow dry. The front desk people are wonderful, friendly and organized. Ive never once had to wait past my appointment time. There is a great vibe in the salon. You can tell everyone gets along there... no negativity. Its a great break from the chaos of the world. Oh and their blowdryers are suspended from the ceiling!! read more

I went to this salon to see Cynthia for hair coloring. She was very sweet,kind and polite,but I could tell she had no idea what she was doing.Unfortunately at the time,neither did I. I asked her to do ombre and I ended up looking like a skunk! The process took almost 6 hours,time during which one of the male colorists was working on several different clients telling each new client bad things and private stories from the previous client.I could not believe it. I went there two more times as Cynthia tried to fix my hair.Long story short,she destroyed my very healthy long hair ,but I did get a kick at all the incredible stories this other stylist would say about all his clients.He was making fun of them all and was disrespectful and conceited. This behavior was not exhibited by the rest of the stuff. Two stars because that nice girl tried her best and yet I would have appreciated an "I honestly do not know how to color your hair'. If you are one of the "gossip colorist' clients ,please do not tell him your husband,girlfriend,cosmetic surgery problems,because all D.C will soon find them out. read more

I had such an amazing time at One80! When I arrived, the staff was so nice, and Markelle shampooed my hair, while making sure I was very comfortable and situated. Roger styled my hair and he was so incredible. Great conversation, great hairstyle. I trusted him to cut my hair and he did not dudsapoint. I told Roger that I have never been to a salon where I have been completely satisfied when I left, and he changed that for me. I will 100% be back, and I'm so happy with my hair. Thank you all so much! read more

See all

Ok, it's been about a month now since I got my hair colored at One80. I complained about the price, but.... it's worth it! One month out and not a trace of roots or fading. Damn, I guess I WILL be paying $245 to get my hair colored! read more

after my stylist left from O salon in DC, i was in a desperate search for a new stylist on the east coast to fix an AWFUL haircut from someone my sister referred me to (thanks big sister!) i found one80 salon and described my hair to the receptionist: it's thick and yes, i know i have a lot of hair. it isn't curly or even particularly wavy...just has a mind of its own. she recommended fred. fred was wonderful and meticulous and he was restricted with what crazy mess the last stylist left but i left with a cleaner cut and something i just had to grow out to cut again and continue to fix. it'll be awhile before i can hope for a full recovery from the last haircut fiasco. if i wasn't moving back to the west coast, i'd probably devote my hair to fred for the rest of my life. it's a sad tease to have found him when i did because i know i'll be leaving him soon. read more

Another glowing review for Cyrille! Every time I visit with Cyrille, I always tell him, "This is the best haircut I've ever had!" I feel like I could go into the salon, say nothing and he still knows what to do! I mentioned a few months ago that Cyrille is able to take the same basic cut, modify it just a bit each time and I have a fabulous, updated hair-do every four weeks. For anyone scoffing at the price of the services...spend the money! I feel like a million bucks every day and this is confirmed each time someone compliments my hair. Love 180's point program and the entire staff continues to be so friendly and welcoming. Cyrille is my hero and I'll sing his praises again and again! read more

I've always had a very enjoyable experience at the One80 salon. As soon as I arrive I'm asked if I would like something to drink and they offer wine. I typically schedule my appointments at the end of a work day and the glass of wine is a perfect way to start my evening. I'm seated at the coloring station, with a TV and wonderful assortment of chocolate candies. My colorist, Cynthia, talks to me about my hair and then mixes up my color cocktail. Cynthia has done an amazing job coloring my hair and getting it as close to my natural color as possible while covering sneaky grays. I have naturally auburn hair that has a mix of brown, gold, copper and red highlights and was upset when the grays started coming in and dulling out my hair color. She listened really well to what I wanted, a dark auburn color that I showed her with examples from pictures of Julianne Moore, Emma Stone and Julia Roberts. Cynthia came up with a cocktail of 6 different auburn colors and tones. After washing and drying my hair, the color was absolutely perfect, exactly what I had asked for. I couldn't be happier with my color. Inside under little light, my hair looks dark brown and then once the sun or light hits it, it's a burst of bright red/ auburn colors. I constantly get compliments on how beautiful and natural the color is and continue to see Cynthia every 6-8 weeks for touch ups. As long as I'm in DC, I'll be a customer of One80 and Cynthia! read more

Cynthia Santana, the colorist I went to at One80, has now moved to Celadon Spa, where she is still doing a fantastic job!

I went to One80 to get my hair colored for the very first time and was super nervous about the process. Jeremy made sure to take the time to discuss what I wanted, how I perceive my hair, what my hair type would support, etc. He was thorough from start to finish. The end result is exactly what I wanted--more blonde than I thought it would be but ultimately exactly what we had talked about and, considering how different it looks, really natural-looking. My coworkers were blown away and I have already recommended Jeremy to several of them! My cut with Renee was absolutely perfect as well; she was able to achieve the exact bang and length I asked for and even came around to check on me during the color process too. Both Jeremy and Renee were friendly, helpful and professional. I will absolutely be back to One80! Thanks Jeremy and Renee! read more

I went to One 80 because of the great reviews here (too bad I missed Ali H.'s), and I'm very disappointed. No -- make that really upset. My stylist was Fred, and although he was nice enough, he basically ignored what I said I wanted. The cut he gave me is completely unflattering and unfeminine and brought me to the verge of tears. His response: It'll grow out well. Great -- I feel so much better now. It's so bad I'm actually wearing a hat around my house because I can't stand catching a glimpse of this awful haircut in a mirror. I haven't been this upset about a haircut since I was about 10 -- in fact, it might be the same haircut, because that one made me look like a boy, too. Plus, he treated me like a mannequin head -- he pushed my head into very uncomfortable positions (my neck is still hurting) and hit me in the face a couple of times with his comb and scissors but never apologized. And he didn't put a sheet over me while he cut my hair, just a robe that didn't close very tightly and didn't come up to my neck, so I got hair all over myself. Even setting aside the distressing end result, it was one of the least pleasant salon experiences I've ever had. read more

Fred has been working his magic on my hair for a couple of years now. Gotta say, I drive or fly from NYC at least every couple of months to have Fred work his precision artistry on my coif and, YES, it is worth it every time. Fred's skill, along with the chill vibe from the rest of the staff invariably makes for a great experience. After a couple of near- The Situation-like Guido-blown-out Long Island haircuts I've gotten here in the City, I think I'd drive to Florida for a decent haircut... read more

I went to Cynthia for color I bought voucher for full highlight with guilt I ended doing partial baylage instead I was really disappointed with how it came out. She definitely tried but I'm taking my money elsewhere. I got color done lots in the past and this was my least favorite. read more

Had my first appointment with Roger a few weeks ago and it was the most perfect first-time encounter I've ever had with a hairdresser. He recommended a moisturizing treatment for my very dry, very coarse, curlyish hair that left it looking and feeling like doll hair. He only trimmed exactly what I asked, and gave me the most beautiful, bouncy, and soft beachy curls not even a beach could recreate. He also straightened my hair in less than 45 mins without testing how well my head is glued onto my neck, which you'll know what I'm talking about if you've spent a lifetime going to Dominican hairdressers. But the best part is how pretty he made me look and feel and all the random compliments I got afterwards, even from the drunk guy at the restaurant later that night: "I LIKE YOUR HAAAIIIRRRGGFFP!!" Yup, I'll be seeing Roger again soon and often! read more

Best colorists in the city, hands down. True, they've been mixed on stylists in the past - but Fred and Remi are consistently excellent. Many of the previous complaints are about Cyrille and he is no longer at One80. The drinks, the decor, the shampooers, the TV's at the color bar and the music are all fabulous, but it is consistently wonderful hair styles that make this place the best in the city. read more

I love this place. It's a little pricey (90 bucks) but they always make my hair look great and never push products.

This review is only for Eyebrow Waxing. I went to One80Salon because my eyebrows never look identical after getting them done at the nail salon, spa, or threaded. I decided to give Simone a try, and I loved them! I would recommend Simone to anyone trying to find the right eyebrow shape, get back on track after a mishap, or just in need of regular maintenance. I don't think my eyebrows have ever looked this good. read more

This salon has become my home away from home. I have been in DC 7 years and it took me forever to find a place that would be as good to me as the salon I grew up with. I am so thankful I found Roger Mudd and he led me here. Calling him amazing would be an understatement. Myself and my hair THANK HIM!!! I come weekly just to not only get a faaaaabbbbulous blow out but to spend time with Roger (he's really that great). There's not a day when I walk out the salon and don't receive a compliment for the work he's done. The majority of my friends now come to this salon for Roger and you should too! The staff is friendly and it's super convenient to everything downtown. I love it at one80! read more

Fred is a genius. I searched and searched for a great stylist for curly hair - and he's truly a god. I have thick curly hair and it can be a bit unmanageable, and gets the dreaded triangle if not cut correctly. Fred will spend up to two hours making sure my hair is perfect. He washes, cuts, dries, cuts, and the styles. If he's not absolutely satisfied after the styling, he will cut individual curls, and restyle. With curly hair you usually come out of the salon with a ton of poof, with Fred, you come out having the best hair day of your life! I moved from DC, but travel back often for work, so I schedule my haircuts for when I fly from Seattle so I can see Fred! read more
