Nawal A.

Just a bad haircut. The woman who cut my hair was rushing me as I was trying to get advice on how to position my bangs and layers. I told her to cut off half and inch ( I think she cut more but that's okay). What REALLY disappointed me was the bangs. I asked for angled, curtain bangs and walked out of the salon with my hair COMPLETELY uneven. Overall, she did an obviously rushed job and it wasn't cheap either. Staff was nice but disappointed in how my hair turned out.

Diana was amazing! I've been dying to get the blonde out of my hair and she perfectly executed. She cared about the integrity of my hair and chose a shade that would grow out more naturally. I went to another salon in May with the same ask, and wound up with the same hair two weeks later. Also one of the most affordable salons I've been to in NoVa. 10/10 recommend!

I needed an emergency hair appointment for the epic eff up I did on my own hair! Enclave was able to squeeze me in with short notice to see Torao. He was so quick and efficient and did not make me feel embarrassed for trying to do my own hair. He did such an amazing job and it was exactly what I wanted from the inspo pics I showed him. Also, the girl who washed my hair did such a great job, it was the best hair wash I've ever had! My only negative is that I found this place 2 years after being here lol! But I will definitely be a repeat client!

It's not even blended and so discolored and YELLOW

I was really disappointed with my experience here. I specifically asked for a cool blonde, but I ended up with a yellow blonde--exactly what I said I didn't want. On top of that, my hair is still very dark at the bottom, yet I was charged for a full highlight. I was expecting a much more even and blended result which it is CLEARLY NOT. For the price, it's not worth it...

Color correction and full heavy foil with highlights and lowlights to correct banding and brass.

I'm in love with my hair! The salon and its employees are amazing and sweet people! You can tell they reallly care about what they do! Diana was my stylist and she worked her magic and saved my hair from my own catastrophe! She took her time explaining what she was doing and she gave a great cur and was super personable! Definitely worth it and definitely coming back! Great talent here! They have a customer for life!

I found this salon from Yelp, searching "color correction" because I had seriously messed up my hair during quarantine. (My hair was damaged, highlighter orange, and a splotchy mess) I emailed them and I immediately received a response, and I was able to be fit in for an appointment the next day. I was really nervous, I had over bleached my hair and I was scared I would have to chop off a significant amount. Torao was very sweet, worked with me on options I could do with my very fragile hair. I didn't want to go darker, and Torao was super understanding. Let me tell you, I can feel the labor that went into my hair, lol because he had to correct my bleach mistakes, tone the orange, and then just get my hair to look normal again. I am amazed with the results. My hair is so soft, Torao has serious skills because my hair looks like I have cute highlights or a pretty balayage (which I was not expecting, I was expecting to leave with like a dark brown Bob or something) He was also very careful with my length. His assistant JT was very nice as well. She was super considerate and gentle with my hair. Just look at the pictures. They speak for themselves. Oh and if you're worried about going to a salon right now because of Covid-19 (reasonable) this place is great. Everyone had masks, I was a plexi glass wall and a booth away from the next person over. They have everyone sanitize their hands before entering, and you're offered a new mask if you want one.

Trim and deep conditioning

09.08 It's just what my hair needed. I was in the area for work and felt the urge to do something about my dry, lifeless cotton candy hair. My hair has always been at the bottom of the totem pole of priorities... after showers it goes up in a bun. So it's dry, brittle, has severe breakage from tight buns. It needed a major rehab. I called a few places before changing my mind and putting off going to a salon another time. Enclave was the one able to take me in after work. Came in super anxious, this was only the 3rd time I've seen a hair stylist since moving to Va 6 years ago. I've always gone home to San Diego to get my hair done but this time, I was desperate. I told Stacy my hair was in bad shape and needed lots of TLC. I've been trying to grow it long again so she suggested trimming the back and face shaping around the front. She also did a deep conditioning treatment that smelled so fruity. After 45 minutes, my hair looked and felt AMAZING! Bouncy, super soft and shiny. Best of all, I only paid 114 including a 30% tip. Covid screening prior to entering the salon, they also provide a mask whether you need one or not.

Torao is not just a hair stylist, he is truly an artist!!!... I came in a month prior to my wedding with a vision of long flowing hair that transitioned from black to blonde and he made my dream into a reality. I'm so in love with the color and the hair extensions!!.. I had my hair cut and colored, Torao picked out the shades for the extensions and I returned to have those put in and styled. I am beyond satisfied with their service! On top of that, it is the cleanest salon with plastic barrier between each chair, sanitizer for every person coming in, and the sweetest staff. I've had hair extensions in 2017 from a salon in Waldorf MD and they hurt so much but Torao reassured me that these are virtually pain free. He was not kidding, I didn't even feel them being installed and they naturally blended with my hair. I have gotten so many compliments not just from fam/friends but also strangers in grocery stores/restaurants. I am truly blessed I chose them for my wedding hair!... Stacy did my curls the day of my wedding and they looked absolutely gorgeous !!! I truly respect and appreciate their service.

I have been going to Salon Enclave since moving to this area in 2018 (long overdue for a review!). Taroa (the owner) is incredible and literally an artist when it comes to color and balayage. He takes the time to talk through the process to really understand the look you're going for. A few months ago, before the pandemic shut businesses down, I was so impressed at the attention and detail the salon put into keeping the area clean to keep customers safe. During my first hair appt. since COVID closings and places re-opening, I was super impressed at how the salon managed to implement the additional precautions without compromising comfort or friendliness. I always enjoy myself and the conversations had during my visits! I think a bit of normality is what we are all searching for and Taroa and his team made it happen- as always! Love the salon enclave fam bam and 10/10 recommend for all things to do with hair! ‍ P.S. photo from a previous visit since none were taken during this last session due to additional restrictions!

Unblended blotchy lowlights added back in to correct initial visit.
Ali K.

Asked for a balayage retouch and hair cut, walked out with a one dimensional, heavy, flat all over blond look. See attached photo. Reached out to stylist to have it "corrected." Her recommendation was to add lowlights, which should create the dimension and multi tones I was expecting in the first place. Walked out with blotchy, unblended lowlights. You can see the lines where the low lights end. See attached picture. Paid $300, spent 8hrs of my time and damaged my hair . Learning techniques should not come at the clients expense, I'm not a mannequin head you can practice and play on and hope that it comes out right. You're unqualified to perform this kind of service and the owner should be accountable/knowledgeable for his stylists and their lack of abilities. I'm updating the review because Torao the owner got in touch with me immediately to remedy the situation. He refunded me my money no questions asked. I really appreciate how quickly and courteously he handled my experience. Thanks T!

She took the time to make sure everything looked right and made the experience feel comfortable and relaxed instead of rushed. I'm really happy with how the perm turned out and would definitely go back to her again. The atmosphere of the salon was also a big part of the experience. The vibe was welcoming and laid back, and the facility itself was very clean and well maintained. Everything felt organized and comfortable from the moment I walked in, which made the appointment a lot more enjoyable overall. It's the kind of place where you can actually relax while getting your hair done. One thing I especially appreciated was how efficient the appointment was. The entire process took under two hours, which was much quicker than I expected for a perm. Even though it was fast, it never felt rushed, and the quality of the result was still excellent. Overall, it was a really positive experience and I'd definitely recommend Jenny to anyone considering getting a perm.

I will definitely be coming here again.

Here's how my most recent trip to this salon went! I came in…read morea week prior for a consultation to see if someone would be able to do a stark blonde balayage for my hair and was immediately directed to Emma. I made it clear that I had black box dye in my hair a little over a year and a half ago. They said no worries. Cut to a couple days ago, I went in, showed the reference photo again (simple, very dark on top, very blonde on the bottom) and made sure to ask for the blonde to be higher up because I wanted more blonde but to still have dark roots. I explicitly stated to her, "I want it to look like I went fully blonde and it's grown out, but smoother." She nodded and acknowledged me so I know she heard it. I'm thinking she should do a test strand beforehand since I made it clear I had color before but what do I know. I'm not the stylist. I decide to let her do her thing. She got about a quarter of the way through my hair before I was told that the photo example was too old for me which ??? I don't care? Give me what I asked for. Do you think I don't look at my reference pics? I notice that she hasn't put a lot of my hair that should be in foils in them so I ask her about it and get told rather bluntly "don't worry about it". Okay, whatever, she's the "master hairstylist" right. I sit there for a while and eventually she comes back and visibly winces at my hair before moving me to the sink and doing another round of heavy bleach. She hasn't told me what she's doing, or if I want what she's doing to be done. Eventually they come back and she has her assistant rinse me before they begin to brush me out so they can tone me. When I look in the mirror I see stark blonde highlights all the way up to the root. I hate highlights. I was never asked about highlights. After about 20 minutes of her yanking at my scalp (I have actual sore spots all over my head now, though her assistant was lovely and very gentle) she finally slathers the toner in and I'm deciding to trust the process. The assistant washes my hair and I just want to get dried and get out of there so I sit down and she asks if I want layers (my hair is still wet so I don't know what color it is yet) I ask to skip it but she insists we do layers and curls because "it makes the color look so much better". End of haircut - there aren't layers. I'm just missing significantly more hair than I asked to be cut off. Oh also! I'm just as brunette as I went in, except now I have gross orange highlights (my least favorite color AND my least favorite dye job, she hit all the marks!) and I can't stop crying. When I went to the manager she called Emma over who tried to pin the blame on me repeatedly and then lied saying that I said something that I didn't say. When I objected (this was the first time I spoke during this conversation, my mom had been taking to them) she said, incredibly rudely, "well we have cameras". Yeah, pull up the cameras. Let's see you making me lose more hair from yanking on it than the bleach. When we were finally paying and wrapping up she went on about how expensive and top of the line their products were. Pro tip! You would make more money if you used your top of the line products to give your customers what they want. They offered to have me come back in after a few weeks for another lightening treatment but I really don't trust them not to just fry my hair off. If she had just done a test strand and asked if I wanted what she was about to do to me, I could've saved over $300. TLDR: I paid $300 for a blonde balayage, I left still brunette but with ugly orange highlights, bleach damage, and less hair than I've had in a while. Feel free to come here! Just don't expect to leave with what you asked for. Pictures are of the result and the reference photo.
