I came to this salon asking for the most minimal trim. I just wanted to clean up my ends. That’s it. I walked out with an entirely different look with aggressive layers in the front - a style that isn’t even seen among professionals because it’s so universally unflattering. I had about 4-5 inches chopped from front to the mid section. I now look like I have a bob haircut from the front and a “Women’s style mullet” over all. I told the hairdresser how I did not want more than a trim. I told him I did not want any change to my look. I told him that I need to maintain a certain look for work. He kept pushing back and ultimately ignored my instructions and did what he wanted. His response? He doesn’t understand why I want long hair. Totally unacceptable. It’s not for you to decide what I want. It is my hair. I don’t have to explain myself. You don’t get to decide for me and ignore my wishes. He also cut my hair while it was dry, curly/wavy. Who does that? At least straighten it to make sure it’s all even. It’s a mess!! I am devastated. I hate my hair. I hate the way I look now. I’ve been told by several people how terrible my cut is and how this stylist ruined my look and hair. My look is incredibly important for my work and this cut is now impacting what my is preferred in my industry. I have yet to be contacted by the manager on this. This needs to be fixed. This is so much more than a terrible haircut. It is a matter of respect. No means no. It is unacceptable that I had to battle your employee over what I want my hair to look like and then ultimately get blatantly ignored! Zero respect. Unacceptable.

I walked into the salon and was immediately taken back by the lack of people and the clientele. I was seen and showed him an inspo picture which I was told would basically not look good on me even though I really wanted that color and look. I honestly think he just didn’t think he could do it. I trusted his judgment and went with what he thought would look best. We went through the whole process and by the end of the coloring it barely looks any different. My hair cut is decent but the price for what takes someone 5 minutes if that is insane. Not to mention when he was showing me the color, forgot to highlight a portion at the hairline underneath, pointed it out at least, and told me no one would see it and I could leave it that way. Uh NO?! Who says that?? Why on earth would I leave it that way? I wear my hair up a lot everyone would see! Not to mention I’m paying a ton of money I’m going to get what i pay for, and I shouldn’t have to ask you to fix what you messed up like I’m the problem. And it shouldn’t have been a question to fix. Then when I go to pay at the end it’s almost $350 for a total of maybe 10 foils and a haircut that took 5 mins. Mind you, my hair was already basically all over blonde with my roots showing. I won’t be coming back. Insane.

I’ve been to this salon 3x over the last 6 years. I’ve tried different stylists. The first time was terrible. I like my hair straight across the back and I walked out with a diamond shape with major layers. I had asked for a trim and to maintain my same style. Obviously not what I got. The second time I tried someone else. I got an okay cut. More than I wanted but it wasn’t bad. Still. It wasn’t what I asked for. This time I asked for a very minor trim. No layers. Nothing dramatic. I got a 4 inch cut off the front. dramatic layers into the mud section of my head. It’s straight ish across the back but more like a diamond overall. Extremely disappointing and shocking all in one. I just wanted something very basic and not even noticeable.This place unfortunately does not listen to what you want and takes liberties as they please. It’s extremely upsetting. Do not recommend.

Vanessa was absolutely incredible. I had been following her on Instagram for a while, and knew I wanted to get my hair done by her (she's amazing at color and balayage), so when it was finally time, I was so excited. I showed her lots of photos of what I wanted done, and she created the most perfect rose-gold with peachy undertones you could possibly imagine. She also went out of her way to do research and get me some samples of shampoo that would help keep the rose gold color locked into my hair as I wash it. Aside from her talent, she is so friendly and personable, and when talking to her, you almost forget she's your hairstylist...she really is truly like a friend to everyone she meets! I am in LOVE with my hair and have gotten so many compliments from family and friends. THANK YOU VANESSA! <3

I went to have my hair color updated with a glaze. I asked for a honey brown color, instead i got a very dark brassy brown. The colorist said she could get it back to my original color by using color corrective shampoo... Which was actually some type of bleach and stripped my natural hair color and came out with an orange head of hair. She wanted to fix it with another layer of glaze but this turned out orange as well. Then she wanted to dye my roots another color, I had enough and walked out with orange hair. I'm currently at another salon hoping someone can fix this mess. I had grown my hair out for a year and it was perfect healthy and in 2 hours she ruined everything. Thanks. Go somewhere professional, this place is a joke.

After going to many different salons over the past decade or so in search of the best highlights, I have finally found my spot and moreover - colorist and stylist, Vanessa. Vanessa is extremely talented and she listens closely to make sure you're happy with the end result. She's also so sweet, kind, and full of positive energy - always happy to chat, but also recognizes that some clients may use the time to whip out a laptop and get some work done. A friend's recommendation led me to start seeing Vanessa about a year ago after I wanted to go blonder for my wedding. One month post-wedding, I couldn't be happier with my hair and I'll continue making the trek into the city just to see Vanessa for highlights!

When I first walked in here I was amazed at how beautiful the salon looks. The staff were nice and the stylist that was available greeted me with a nice smile. I got my haircut from Johny Vasquez whom did an amazing job in cutting and styling my hair just the way I like it. He truly is an amazing person whom radiate positive energy and his hairstyling technique is one of a kind! I highly recommend booking him for your haircut and hairstyling as he will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy and satisfied. Thank you Johny for this amazing cut, I have finally found the perfect hairstylist in Washington DC!!! What a relief that is!!!

Concierge at the Mayflower called and was able to get me in quickly. Spa pedicure with Irma was amazing. I asked for “everything to fix my sad feet” and she delivered. She took time to thoroughly clean up my toes and get rid of all the dry patches. The scrub and foot/leg massage was so relaxing. Then gel polish and my feet were refreshed and very smooth. Prices are reasonable as well. Also, their massaging chairs can massage your neck and head, which is not something I experienced in the past. If I was local to DC, I would be a regular with Irma. Definitely recommend!

I had gone to another salon in the area and received an expensive mediocre haircut. I booked an appointment with Franck because I had read that he could fix any bad haircut, and because he was featured as a top hairstylist in DC. It was true! He took a lot of time to figure out what I wanted in a hair cut. He also told me what he planned to do throughout the cut. He fixed my hair without changing the length. Best of all, he knows how to manage straight and thick Asian hair, and make it move well. Will be back to Franck for my next cut!

My wife was extremely happy with the quality of the services provided. Most salons, it seems, mostly do blowouts and very basic make-up. After several really bad experiences nearby, this was the only one which truly offered hair styling (great at that) and make-up services (also great). Pricing was more than fair (in fact slightly cheaper than much worse services she received on the same week-end). Coming from latinamerica, this was as close as could be to services you can find in a good salon over there.

I cannot say enough great things about Molecule salon! The staff are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and friendly, and deliver a superb customer experience. I have received hair cut and colour, waxing, and nail services, and all have been fantastic. The salon space itself is beautiful, meticulous, and spotless. If anybody in the DC area is searching for salon that can deliver on any and all beauty needs, look no further than Molecule, they will take such great care of you!

Kelly is absolutely amazing every time I come. She is friendly, thorough, and she always gives me quality service. The salon itself is beautiful, well kept and I always feel comfortable. Kelly has been my esthetician for years and it’s because of how wonderful she is and I never have to worry about in-grown hairs or other issues. You should definitely check them out

After browsing the offerings on their website, I stopped in here Friday for a polish change only to discover they don't do that anymore. The receptionist told me the manicurist left, so I don't know if that means they will hire a new one and resume nail services, or if they will no longer offer them. So if you go in for a manicure, you may want to call first!

Tina was recommended to me by a friend. I took a huge chance going to a new salon, looking for a platinum color. It was a huge success. Tina listened to me as to the color I was looking for, and she executed! I will be going back to her. Thanks Susan for the recommendation, and Tina… will see you soon! Thank you!

Recently moved back to D.C. and have not had a proper haircut and color in over a year. Drew made the experience so fun! His balayage came out perfect and the results were better than what I envisioned. Denia also gave me a fantastic haircut. Definitely check out Molecule if you're in the market for a new salon!

Cindy does the best waxes! She takes the time to make sure you’re comfortable and that the service is as pain-free as possible. She’s always thorough and makes sure you’re happy with how you look afterward. I always get a warm greeting when I arrive and am treated with such care. You’ll love seeing Cindy too!

I have started coming to Molecule ever since Nestor moved here from another salon. This is a fancy looking salon and the staff is friendly too! Setting up and managing appointments is quite easy and I like the reminders before my appointment. Good salon option in downtown DC!

It is important to have a stylist who not only can make your hair look good, but also cares about the health of your hair. Denia has been ensuring for many years that my hair has style and substance. Going to Molecule is always a comfortable and professional experience.

Nila did my keratin treatment and my hair is gorgeous and I've been getting compliments since it's been done. It may be expensive but definitely worth every penny!!! Thank you and I'll be back when I need to. It's been over a month and my hair still looks great!!!

Vanessa does an amazing job and the salon is so beautiful and zen. I definitely recommend everyone to go see her she is great at balayage and haircuts. She knew exactly what I was looking to get and I felt like a whole new person after leaving her chair.

Relatively easy to get an appointment. Owner is super friendly, recently renovated spot, and the staff is attentive and really nice. Worth checking out if looking for a new hair spot. Guys cuts are about $50 I believe, no idea for women though (sorry!)

Cathy always does an exceptional job cutting my hair. I have never been disappointed in the more than 5 years I have been going to her for my hair care. The added benefit is she is very respectful of her client's time. She is a true professional.

I've had the same stylist for many many years and he started working at Molecule a few years ago. I've been meaning to write a review for a while because my experience with Molecule is nothing but great! The entire team is wonderful.

I came to Molecule and had excellent service from two stylists. —Denia and Nila. for braid and blow dry— two very different styles. Both fantastic as well the friendly and efficient customer service. I highly recommend Molecule.

I have been following Kelly for 11 years and she is personable and offers top tier service! When going for a wax, you can expect to be in and out in 15 minutes or less. So happy she got her own space, she’s the best!

My hair journey just started and it feels wonderful already. Thanks to hairstylists Kathy Roberson for bringing my hair back to glory. My hair looks more beautiful and healthier. Molécule salon. …

This salon is amazing. It's beautiful and the staff are very professional and nice. Nestor has been doing my hair for 25 years, and he's the best.

I'm so glad I found out Kelly moved over to Molecule! She is so friendly, efficient, and thorough. I highly recommend her for waxing services.

Nila did a superb job on my hair and at a very short notice! She has a gift, and I will be using this salon’s services for years to come.

The atmosphere was welcoming. My stylist, Kathy, is warm and friendly. She provides good care and advice on hair maintenance.

Kelly is THE best wax aesthetician in DC. She has you out in 15 minutes or less and she’s accurate, clean, and a great chat.

Nyla did a fantastic job with my blowout! I left smiling! We also learned how small the world truly can be! Obrigada!

Always a happy place to come for mani-pedis or a haircut! It’s a well run place with good service and good price!

The stylists there are all very nice and it was a very good experience!! Would definitely go back there again!!

Christof was amazing!! He gave me great advice on ethnic hair and how to care for it. Great experience here.

Wonderful place, friendly and very skilled staff. I have been doing my hair with Rita for 12 years!!!!

Kelly is the best waxer. Hands down. I've been seeing her for almost 10 years. I go wherever she goes

My first time here...plan on making it my regular place for getting cut, color and blow out.

Kathy Roberson is the BEST. Very talented, very professional and very personable. A "10"!!
