I had such an amazing experience at Signature Image Salon! From the moment I sat down, Vonetta really took the time to understand my hair my goals, what I thought was going on with it, and the products I've been using. It felt like such a personalized consultation rather than just a quick appointment. The wash alone was next-level. I got shampooed, conditioned, a full scalp detox, and even a steam treatment. It was easily the most thorough and relaxing wash I've ever had. I honestly didn't want it to end. After that, she blow-dried my hair and walked me through the current state of it, giving thoughtful recommendations while still making sure my preferences were front and center. I trusted her suggestions and I'm so glad I did because the results were fantastic. What really stood out was how attentive she was throughout the entire haircut. She kept checking in to make sure I loved how everything was coming together, and she explained the products she was using along the way. Also, shoutout to the wonderful woman assisting her she gave an incredible wash and was so warm and welcoming. The whole vibe of the salon felt professional, caring, and genuinely client-focused. I would absolutely recommend Signature Image Salon and Vonetta to anyone looking for a top-tier hair experience! read more

If you are looking for a salon in the DC area that is truly a one-stop shop for your hair needs, Signature Image Salon is the place to be. I worked with Vonetta, the owner, to achieve my look, and she and her team were a lifesaver. As someone with colored hair, it can be difficult to find a stylist who can achieve the look you want while still prioritizing the health of your hair, but at Signature Image Salon, I never had to worry about that. I received a traditional sew-in with minimal leave-out, and I was also able to purchase the hair directly from the salon. Vonetta made sure the bundles matched my natural hair texture perfectly, and the hair she provides is extremely full and high quality. If you are looking for quality bundles in the DMV area, I highly recommend her. She also did an amazing job coloring the hair to blend seamlessly with my hair color. During my appointment, Vonetta provided me with a regimen for maintaining both my natural hair and the bundles, which showed how much she genuinely cares about her clients' hair health even after they leave the salon. I am extremely pleased with the service and results I received at Signature Image Salon and would highly recommend Vonetta and her team to anyone looking for expert-level work. read more

I never intended on getting my hair done while on holiday but a hair mishap meant I had to search for a good salon while in Washington D.C. I'm so glad we did because EVERYTHING about the experience was amazing!! I opted for a silk press with a trim and my hair has never been so straight, nourished and had such body before. I dragged my mum along with me and she saw how good my hair looked and so opted for the same and we left the salon feeling amazing! We had such a great time and learnt so much about Washington DC as well as our hair - I now have a hair dresser in DC and highly recommend you book an appointment if you want to look and feel amazing! read more

Excellent stylist. The owner is professional and cares about the state of your hair. She sells Aveda products which are excellent products.

I don't let anyone cut or color me besides Vonetta at Signature Images Salon! I waited 27 years to cut my hair or to add any color to it and Vonetta was my go to! I moved all the way from D.C. to California and still return to D.C. just to get my hair done. It's that serious! #BestHaircut #BestColor read more

Cierra is the REAL DEAL. For a few years, I have tried to find a decent salon and stylist who was knowledgeable, experienced and most importantly invested in ensuring the client has a positive and comfortable experience. She did that and MORE! I'm apprehensive and very protective when it comes to my hair due to bad experiences but I felt extremely comfortable and collected with Cierra. She was attentive, reassuring and professional the entire time as she brought my hair and my hair confidence back to life. I have already booked my next appointment and looking forward to the growth to come!! I found the place for me! read more

As a Black woman in DC, getting your natural hair done by a reputable stylist who uses top of the line products (Aveda!) can be a challenge. At Signature Image Salon--it's the name of the game. I've been a long time customer and I do not trust my hair with anyone else. I've been going to Vonetta at Signature Image Salon since I was a student at Howard University--I won't say how long thats been on Beyonce's internet, but let's just say she did my graduation hair, my big-girl-breakup bob, my post-pandemic big chop, my cherry blossom engagement photoshoot ponytail AND my summer wedding day weave. Oh, and my wedding hair lasted long after our honeymoon in the south of Portugal. I say all that to say--I always leave Signature Image Salon feeling confident, beautiful, and like my hair was well taken care of. Vonetta takes pride in her work and, as a customer, you can feel it. Cuts, sew-ins, roller sets, wash and go-you name it, Vonetta can do it. And, most importantly, she'll do it better than the rest. Run, don't walk!! read more

I was a lost sheep when I arrived in DC. I didn't know anyone, but distant relatives, my car was still parked in CA and to make matters worse, when I smiled at people while walking, they looked at me as if I were crazy. Furthermore, I was lacking two essential people in my life: a nail tech and a beautician. I'm still on the lookout for a solid nail artist, but my hair has found her shining star, honey. I'm very particular about my hair. My friends tell me I 'they ain't got time to be fooling around with my nuts and berries hair regimen,' and they aren't too far off with that statement. I don't use greases and other heavy products (not having a regular beautician forced me to know which products work for my hair). I don't use heavy heat (I typically air dry my hair), and the style of my hair has to be on point. I'd found SIS about 2+ years and had been going on and off since then (more off than on because I flatiron my own hair), when I finally decided I needed something drastic. I needed a head turner, a "Gurl, who did your hair!?" type of style...I needed a slayer. Someone who wouldn't be biased and try to sabotage my cut. Someone who understood my needs. Enter Ciara. Personable, professional, knowledgable and effective...ON TIME (I'm in and out in 1.5 hrs - SIS is sponsored by Aveda, and in my opinion that factor makes them a cut above). Ciara, my hair savior, is possibly the best shampooer I've ever encountered. She is also a hair consultant who teaches you how to manage your hair. Yes, she offers products that she uses, people typically ask anyway, but Ciara does not force products down the slit of your purse...or pocket. I am well pleased with the cut and style of my hair, there isn't a day that goes by when I am not complimented on my hair and honey, if given any chance and opportunity, I will tell you who I attribute to the beauty of my hair. If given another opportunity, I'll tell you how you need to make an appointment after reading this review. read more

I'm gonna be open and honest with this review. I'm not in anyway knowledgable about hair, but Signature Image took the time to not only walk through the process they were doing to help me understand exactly what they were doing they also helped me understand the best cut for my hair. My girlfriend came in for a nape cut and holy crap it looks so good! read more

Vonetta is a true professional, and it was such a joy to visit Signature Image Salon for my first haircut in MONTHS. She had well-enforced COVID-conscious safety measures in place, which put me at ease. And, she gave me the. best. haircut. She asked a lot of questions, she offered suggestions, she was honest and direct, and she was TALENTED. Thank you, Vonetta, I will definitely be coming back! read more

They'll make you feel like family and have effective products to extend their services. Keep up the great work ladies!! read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This is the most unprofessional salon I've ever been to. The owner, Vonetta, is pushy and inconsiderate, and cares nothing about her clients other than for every red cent she can weasel out of them. She skipped my consultation for an install on my first visit and I ended up with bundles of hair the wrong color and couldn't get my hair done at all. My hair was so damaged, I was completely humiliated and spent over $200 for it. On my second visit, my stylist was an hour and a half late. And the owner had brought her pet dog to the salon who leapt up into my lap every five minutes, sometimes at the risk of being burnt by the hair straightener being used on my head. On my third appointment, the stylist never showed up at all. She called to say that she'd completely forgotten about my appointment and offered to reschedule for later that evening. I'd already driven an hour and a half for this appointment, paid for parking in DC and the whole 9 yards. I agreed to meet up with her later, and to my absolute dismay she completely stood me up with no call or text message. I had waited for her at this point for roughly six hours. WORST PLACE EVER AND THE MOST OVERPRICED MEDIOCRE SERVICE YOU'LL EVER ENCOUNTER. read more

Was quoted $75 for a twisted updo, which came out beautiful, then told the price was double at the register! Completely unacceptable. The owner did comp the $50 damage treatment, only after getting a bit indignant though. Still not the proper way to solve this situation. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Never going back here again and I let them know that. Also, I'm all for having a jovial, relaxed atmosphere in the salon, but being in there for three to four hours just because the stylists want to have personal side convos and take lunch orders is not what I signed up for. I also didn't like them always asking questions about my line of work (and counting my pockets) every single time I went there. Luckily I've found a salon that gets me in and out in 50 minutes, plus always professional. read more

Today was my first time visiting Signature Image Salon as I rarely go to the salon. I was going out of town and my usual stylist changed her work schedule, so I found the salon from naturallycurly.com, as I have natural hair; however, today I went in to get my hair straightened. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by a warm and friendly employee who took my coat and showed me to the styling area, and she proceeded to give me a great wash and condition - I believe her name is Odonna. Since I wear my hair in its natural state 95% of the time, preserving my curl pattern is important to me. I noticed that they did not use extremely high heat on my hair and applied nice products that did not weigh my hair down. Vonetta Dumas styled me and she was wonderful. She gave me a much needed trim and spoke with me about maintaining my ends. Needless to say, my hair came out fantastic and I received many compliments shortly thereafter. Another plus was that I was in and out in under two hours! I will definitely be returning to this salon. :) read more

Let me start by saying I always try to lift up African American businesses so it kills me to write this review. However, the truth must set people free from taking a chance on this place, or at the very least, the stylist, Cierra. I went here some years ago to a stylist I think left the business and kept receiving emails with 20% off coupons and notices of stylist openings. Despite my hesitation with going to a business that needs to cajole people to come to them, I needed my hair colored so badly - I looked on Yelp and decided that Cierra had enough decent reviews that I should risk trying her out. BIG MISTAKE. First indication of a problem - there was no swatch book to look for color - I was given a magazine to look for something I would like. Not helpful. Then, when she finally got to me a half hour after my appointment time, there was little to no consultation. I made an appointment for a cut and color, she went straight into talking to me about my color without asking me what I was looking for in a haircut. To say she had no idea what she was doing is a significant understatement. I told her I wanted a dark red color - auburn - and even found a picture of someone online who had the hair color I wanted. She then said we would need to do a double process, which would cost $85 x 2 because I had highlights. I told her I didn't have highlights, my hair was colored using a single process where my stylist would mix dark brown and red together to get my color. The only reason my hair looked like it had highlights was as a result of the keratin treatment I had in January (yet another mistake, shouldn't you ask what services I had performed on my hair in the last 3 months? Horrible consultation!) So, thinking she must know what she is doing because this is an Aveda salon, she puts this red on my hair, barely dries it, and then coats it over with another color for the second process. She leaves it on too long and then when she rinses it out she says "How do you like your hair color?" I respond, "It looks really dark, but it's wet, how can I possibly know what it will look like?" She shrugs. Then, I remind her that I need a trim as well. I tell her very clearly that I am trying to grow out an asymmetrical haircut, so all I need done is to even out the sides and trim all around. The only other thing I ask for is long layers to frame my face. Now, why on earth would that indicate to you as a stylist that I wanted the back of my hair layered? So, the end result is that I left the salon with jet black hair with layers in the back that gives me the appearance of a shaggy dog. I get into my boyfriend's car and he says, "wow, your hair is so dark! And I didn't know you wanted to go short in the back?" I burst into tears. Thanks, Signature Image. The second star is only for the owner's dog, who was sweet. Cierra fully deserves a 1. She said she was an Aveda school graduate. She needs to go back to school and learn how to use hair color and listen to her client. read more

Signature Image Salon - This is not auburn. It's black with cherry undertones. Never wanted or asked for this - what a disaster! - Hair Salons Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

When you walk into the salon, the marvelous AVEDA aromas great you at the door. Very soon after, someone will be there to great you with a smile. It makes for a very inviting fist impression. I've been going to Signature Image Salon for a few months now. I love the professionalism of the staff, the beauty of the salon and the talents of my stylist, salon owner, Vonetta Dumas. She takes time to get to know her client's wants and needs and together comes up with a collaborative hair treatment. Then, you off to get your hair washed. Each time I get my hair washed, the amazing AVEDA products used double as an aromatherapy treatment. But I know what you want to know... how's my hair? In the summer I wear my hair naturally curly and never bother going into a hair salon. When the temps and humidity drops, I get my hair blow dried and flat ironed. While I don't have a relaxer, I do color my hair. A LOT. Vonetta has been working with me to get my hair back into a much healthier state. So far, my hair is looking beautiful and I'm very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone who is look for extra care and attention for their hair. read more

I have been coming to Vonetta for over 3 years and she continuously make me fabulous over and over again. I have been with her through the transitions and she recently opened her second salon. As I walk into the salon there is a comfort level and I'm greeted just like family. I love how Vonetta continuously gives me consultation and identify my needs and wants. My hair was damaged and short when I first came and now it's grown to lengths that I didn't know was possible. I have noticed that she has an array of knowledge when it comes to different textures of hair. I have never had a complaint with time management. On a Saturday, I am in and out and that's a hard thing to come by on a busy day. Being a customer that has been coming for over 3 years, I can say that I still feel as special as I did the first day I came in. I have ran across some salons that only pay you attention when you are a new customer and during checkout. At Signature Image Salon, I am constantly greeted with a jovial atmosphere. I feel relaxed and comfortable knowing that my hair is in good hands and top care. Over the years I've received the best cuts and color and have referred people that are frequent clients now. My hair has been reinvented and shows my personality. Every girl gains a certain level of confidence when their hair is whipping! Having a natural texture I have ran across hairstylist that cannot get my roots straight. Not only do Vonetta get my roots straight, but it's a style that lasts as well!! Talk about a Aha moment!! read more

I knew I would be in great hands since the Stylist and I share the same name. Cierra provided an interactive consultation that allowed me to ask all the questions necessary to ensure I was getting the proper service and treatment for my hair. As a natural, Cierra embraced my hair texture, and not only shared her thoughts, but asked what I ultimately wanted to achieve with my hairstyle, upkeep and etc. Throughout my time in her chair, Cierra displayed easy-going professionalism and expertise while servicing my hair. The only thing I'd address is that Cierra could have given a little more attention to my roots, however, when in the natural state, it takes a bit more work. I also appreciate your prices as my shampoo, deep conditioner and press came to approximately $65, talk about a steal, especially in DC. I usually wear my natural during the summer due to the humidity but looking forward to making another appointment with Cierra once fall arrives. read more

I've been going to this salon for 8 years and Vonetta for a total of 10. Vonetta Dumas is the best natural hairstylist in DC. I went natural and was balding in the middle of my hair. Now with Vonetta's help, I have long healthy hair. I've gotten natural styles, cornrows and straightened styles. She's the only stylist I know that can make a natural hair flatiron style look like a perm. I will ALWAYS have her as a stylist and she's done spectacular make up for me as well. She and Cierra Curenton are immensely talented and I love getting my hair done here! read more

Being hair obsessed - I've had my hair done in the best salons around from Paris to Beirut - and this salon tops them by far. Aveda products, expert advice, care for your natural hair color/ texture and the best bob haircut I've ever had. Fast, clean, stylish, knowledgable. What a hair salon should be! The haircut -exactly like in the picture, only suited for my face/style. The owner, the team- all fierce, fun, stylish, professional and honest - no burnt hair or bad haircuts or color disasters or traumatic results. A must -go place ! read more

I very rarely like to go to the salon because I hate to pay so much money, and I feel like I never get what I want. My hair has grown so long, I finally needed a cut, so I made an appointment to see Cierra. She was wonderful. very helpful and asked me before she did things to make sure I would be happy with it. I was really happy with the results and will definitely be going back. For all you other students out there, Mondays your service is 20% off. Check them out! read more

I've been trying to find a stylist who really knows how to cut hair for three years --since I moved to DC from CA. I've gone to places all over the DC area. I have been trying to find someone who could give me a slightly edgy but still professional style. I found it today. Linda is amazing. She recommended an angled bob. She cut my hair wet and then dried it and cut some more to give a very precise cut with sculpted layers and perfect angles. Her cut is absolutely beautiful. She also suggested copper highlights, which I never would have picked for myself, but they're great with my hair, eye and skin color. read more

100% recommend this hidden gem! I was so happy to have found Meniya, one of the most attentive, caring and skillful stylists I've been to. I've been going to her for a few years now and have never ever been disappointed. I've also referred a number of friends to her, all of whom where happy enough to keep going back. She is truly and rare stylist, and on top of that the salon staff are incredibly kind and helpful. This may not be as a flashy place as some of the other places out there, but it's definitely worth a shot. And guys, ask for Meniya for a great experience! read more

Beware of excessive unaccounted charges! I was charged $180 for flat twists and a trim! On my bill it was listed as a sculpting cut, which I did not receive. They claimed their prices went up despite what is listed on their website. Mind you, I had an appointment in December it was $100 for deep conditioning, trim, and style. I went ahead a paid because I had spent close to 4 hrs there despite having a 12:15 appointment. I have reached out to my bank to dispute the charges and will also be contacting the Better Business Bureau to report this business and will exhaust all legal options at my disposal. I'm sadden because I actually like my hair, but I refuse to be taken advantage. Book an appointment at your own risk! read more

This is a long overdue review from a visit a year ago. I am a 4c natural who loved this place the first time I visited and another stylist (not Vonetta) did my hair. I had told her I wanted to relax my hair and she did a good job of educating me on how to achieve better(softer) results without using chemicals. Fast forward my next visit a few months later. The stylist I liked was not there and Vonetta gave me a consult - I end up with not only relaxed but overly processed and damaged hair. She chose to flat iron another client while asking the junior stylist who helped with cleaning the salon to relax my virgin hair! She started off applying relaxer to my temples and the tips of my hair! Even the least hair savvy know that's a non-no. I ended up having to guide her through the rest of the process. Even wild horses will not take me back there. read more

Ok let me start off my saying thank you to the master stylist Vonetta for an impeccable job you did on my hair and to the staff for excellent service. I was a first time client this week. I paid a great deal of money to other stylist that damaged my hair with bad color and an awful cut. I need major recovery and have been scared to go anywhere else since moving here from Atlanta. I was immediately greeted and received a consultation. During that time I was served hot tea. It was a great experience. It is clean and a very relaxing space. I got an excellent moisture treatment and excellent cut. I have gotten so many compliments. I am excited to get my color fixed during my next visit. Vonetta is a true artist at her craft! Pheewwww I finally have a place I can go on a regular basis (bi-weekly) since I absolutely do not do my hair except comb and wrap it daily :) I highly recommend this salon. You will not be disappointed. The plus is the location, easy access to metro and great food places. The second best pro to Vonetta is the Aveda products, high quality leaving your hair nourished and replenished especially those with processed hair of any kind. Can't wait for my next appt next week read more

Cierra gave me the best cut and style I have ever had in my life! Everyone loves it. The studio is beautifully lit, clean, quiet, relaxing. The staff and stylists are all friendly and knowledgeable. I went in expecting to pay at least a couple hundred dollars for the amount and quality of services rendered but was pleasantly surprised at how incredibly affordable the final cost was! I immediately booked my next appointment for color and a trim. I've already been giving out the name of the salon and stylist every chance I get, so taken am I by the quality of the whole experience. I was greeted quickly and immediately shown to a chair even though I arrived a little early. Cierra really took her time with my cut and style, making sure every step of the way that I was happy with the direction she was taking it (I cut off nearly a foot of length.) I got a quality blow dry and press (most stylists really half-ass this part of my service; this was the first time I've ever NOT had to go home and immediately redo the press.) I am actually really looking forward to my next appointment for all-over color. Cannot give these ladies high enough praise. A+ service, would do business with again. read more

I had a good experience. I have 3C hair, no perm with highlights. I was in a pinch and needed a wash and go. Cierra was friendly, although not very knowledgable on all of the current natural hair discourse (shingling, silicones, sulfates) and very helpful. She let me read all of the labels and decide which products I would prefer on my hair. She also let me assess if we needed more product at the end of the application, which I felt was a nice touch. Pros: timely, friendly staff, helpful, cute hair. Cons: A little rough with the detangle brush (I usually use a comb and work through smaller sections gently). Many of the Aveda products had silicones and sulfates. read more

Well done Signature Image Salon! I just returned to the salon after months of being unable to visit due to the COVID-19 shutdown. Although I have always been impressed by the professionalism of the Signature Image team, I was amazed to see how well prepared the salon was to provide service in a safe and efficient manner. From the touch-less check-in and check-out procedures, spaced appointments, social distancing protocols, sanitizers, and temperature checks, I truly appreciate the investment made to ensure that the salon operates safely. Needless to say Vonetta and her team exceeded my expectations. Long over due for a cut and color, it was nice to be able to finally sit back and relax, while I received the exceptional service that I have come to expect from the BEST SALON in our nation's capital. Kudos the Signature Image Salon for a job well done! read more

This is my first Yelp review, so just take that however you'd like. Some background information to put this review in context: I'm "natural" (I don't have a relaxer in my hair) with super curly, type 4aish hair. Collarbone length in the front, almost armpit length in the back. Super thick. I'm a college student in DC and usually wait until I go back home to get my hair done. However, I was feeling extremely lazy this week and didn't feel like having to detangle and style my hair. I researched a bunch of salons and decided to go ahead and try this one after reading the positive reviews. I scheduled an appointment online with Vonetta for two strand twists (this is how I generally style my hair). She called me a couple of days later and told me that that wasn't her specialty, so she referred me to Cierra instead for an appointment an hour and fifteen minutes later. I appreciated her honesty with that. Now on to the actual appointment: The salon itself is nice. It's clean and is much bigger on the inside than I expected. I waited about ten minutes in the entrance area before someone took me back to where my stylist was. She got to me about ten minutes later. She asked me what kind of twists I wanted, if I had a picture, etc. She was also clear about the price of my style as well as the price of the deep-conditioning treatment I selected. I was shampoo-ed and deep-conditioned with Aveda products, which was very nice. They're really the major reasons for the stars that were given. I sat under a steamer with my deep conditioner for a while, before being rinsed and taken back to the styling area. Someone sectioned my hair for Cierra before putting on a plastic cap to keep my hair wet and ready for twisting. Cierra got to me about fifteen minutes later. She asked me what size twists I wanted (again, I appreciated her willingness to ask), and I told her that it didn't really matter - medium was fine. Now as a I mentioned before, the reason that I chose not to do my hair myself was that I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like detangling. However, I wish I had just taken the time to do it myself. She was not very gentle with my hair. In fact, when I was running my hands through the twists the next day I was pulling out balls of hair from the ends. She didn't truly detangle my hair; there were still knots that I found at the end of the twists that she had just twisted around each other. I don't really know how else to describe it. More on that, later. My hair was finished four and a half hours from the time of my appointment. The final product was okay, I liked it, but it was nothing that I couldn't have done myself at home (especially considering the hefty price tag associated with two strand twists here). In fact, when I got home and saw how the ends looked, I realized I actually prefer the look when I do it myself. The next day, I ended up taking the twists down as I realized the hair wasn't really detangled and would end up matting if I left them in. As I took them down, more balls of hair came out, some with long strands that had just been ripped through. This was when I knew I had to write a review. So overall, the salon was nice and the staff was friendly but I just can't reconcile that with the way my hair turned out. If you have super coily, thick hair, I recommend you look elsewhere. read more

Let me start by saying I never had the pleasure of stepping into this salon because the receptionist/front desk were so incompetent and functionally lacking I cancelled my appointment. I have been to Vonetta, the salon owner when she was at a previous shop and she was good. I only called to schedule an appointment with Vonetta at Signature because my regular stylist was unavailable and I begrudgingly decided to call Signature up. I have a sister who comes to Signature when our regular stylist is unavailable as well. Apparently the Signature receptionist couldn't reconcile this fact with reality as she kept asking me several times if I had been there before and if I was my sister. ::SIGH:: When I originally called I had to repeatedly spell my first and last name because the receptionist may be illiterate. (We need to get America literate again people!) Taking the bar exam was less stressful than trying to make an appointment. When the seas parted and the miracle finally did happen they called my SISTER to confirm my appointment the day before. Sent my SISTER the confirmation emails and then claimed that they had a bad or disconnected number for me. Yet still referred to my SISTER as the one with the appointment. When I called to straighten up the mix-up I simultaneously received an email confirming my hair appointment for a DIFFERENT DAY AND TIME. This was the last straw. I called my regular stylist up who thankfully happened to be available and cancelled at Signature. When I tried to cancel the appointment for the 2 different days they made for me, it was more of the same inadequacies. When I play office with my 8 year old cousins they always get the date and time right with correct confirmation phone calls. GET IT TOGETHER. read more
