I believe her name was Rosaline, she gave me a pretty good haircut. When it comes to a haircut you have to be really specific about what you want. I told her what I wanted and she explained to me what she was going to do with my hair as well give suggestions. It came out well really nice and I have no complaints. I also appreciated that she washed my hair and the service was pretty quick.

I’d like to preface this by saying that I rarely write reviews, but this haircut I got today from Rosaline is probably the worst haircut I’ve ever had. Rosaline was nice, but very unprofessional. I asked for 2 inches off just the ends of my hair and to touch up my layers. I really love my long hair and I’ve spent quite some time growing it out. I left today with 5-6 inches cut off my hair and really choppy, uneven layers. I cried after leaving because I was so upset. I specifically asked to keep long layers in my hair and showed her exactly where I wanted the shortest layer. However, the shortest layer is at least 3 inches shorter than what I asked for and isn’t blended into the rest of my hair at all. I washed my hair when I got home, hoping to make it better, and it looks even worse. My hair literally has 3 distinct sections to it now and they all look choppy and unblended.
In addition to the haircut itself, Rosaline washed my hair and gave me a blowout. While washing my hair, she sprayed water all over my face and clothes. I don’t think she put heat protectant in my hair before blow drying, because it smelled like my hair was burning for a few minutes. She was very rough with brushing my hair and hastily cut off a section she didn’t want to brush through instead of brushing it out. Also, this part just grossed me out. She was using 2 clips to section my hair while blowing it out - very standard. But she took one of the clips out of my hair, put it into her hair, and then put it back into my hair. I’ve never had a hairdresser do that and it was so unprofessional and made me very uncomfortable. This salon was recommended to me by a friend, but I will never recommend it to anyone else. Truthfully I’m a bit traumatized by this experience. I will be looking for a refund.

Joao is a consummate hairdresser. For over three years I have trusted him to cut my hair, and he has done an excellent job.

Joao gave me a great haircut and blowout. He did a great job with layers and gave me advice about my dry hair.

Been coming for years - love this place, love these people! I would trust João with my hair and my life. Always feels like home, and always surrounded by both friends and professionals.

I made an appointment for a haircut and blow-dry, but when I arrived, Gio was busy. He attended to me reluctantly and only wanted to do the haircut. He didn’t clean the brush and the scissors from the previous client. He spent just 10 minutes on my haircut and then went back to his other client without even showing me the result or asking if I liked it. Honestly, I do not recommend this salon.

I just got my hair done by Gio! It was super quick as a student cut but he’s the only person who’s been able to do my bangs correctly — very much recommend!!

Joao gave me a wonderful haircut. He listened to what I wanted and offered his take and then gave me a great cut! Claudia shampooed my hair and it was so relaxing. Great experience and I will be back!

I've been the client of this salon for several years. Dominique, Joao and another former employee of the Tresses did wonderful job and I was always happy. This was my favorite place in DC. The latest two times the stylist from Bolivia cut my hair. On my recent visit the service and the result left me unhappy.I am not fully sure if the stylist either has zero training or does not care about the quality of the result, or perhaps both.It felt like a "speed service" or competition for minimal number of scissors movements. Overall there were about 5-6 cutting movements with scissors, and service time was less than 10 minutes.Based on her working technique, it is my impression (I am fairly certain) that she did not have a proper training or had a very basic and minimal training as a hair stylist. I never seen any other hair stylist use this type of "childish" technique, anywhere in the world, in 30+ years that I've been visiting hair salons. When I expressed my concerns she told me my hair is wavy and even line cannot be achieved.I asked for minimal trimming of split ends to preserve the length, and she did preserve the hair length - I am very grateful for that. But I still wanted my hair to look nice, not "anything goes we are in a rush" type of service. I needed my hair to look nice for attending the wedding, and after visiting the salon my hair looked worse/less neat than before.A very strange experience. Unfortunately so, because I had great experience with other stylists in this salon in the past.I do think that this stylist can do a good job if she cared about the result a bit more, or perhaps learned proper hair cutting techniques.

There is no better hair stylist than Joao. My hair is so hard to cut, and he did it masterfully every. single. time. Everyone at Tresses is kind and talented. Do yourself a favor and just go here. I have literally traveled across states just to go back for another appointment. Thank you to everyone that works here and especially Joao!!!
