Bubbles Salons

I went to Bubbles and had Vonzell do my hair. I went from extremely dark brown to platinum blonde in two visits with him in one week. He also cut my hair and did an amazing job. 5 stars for Bubbles and 5 stars for Vonzell. The salon staff was professional, caring, and sweet. The environment was great at the salon! I definitely recommend this hair salon!

I went to see Sera for a last minute haircut and thought she was great! It was one of the quickest haircuts I’ve ever gotten at a Bubbles salon (25 – 30 minutes) and she was very sweet. When I arrived I was open to a few things and at her suggestion, I went with a lob that is subtlely shorter in the back. I confirmed with her what we were doing again after the shampoo and it turned out true to form, which I really appreciated since I couldn’t see very much of the cut with my glasses off! She seemed a little timid but was really sweet and did a great job.

I’m not sure why I felt the need to write this disclaimer… anyway. Been going to Bubbles for quite some time because the place is right around the corner from where I work. And in most cases I always wait until the last minute to get a hair cut — and for that matter until my hair looks borderline subhuman. so Bubbles remains the reliable solution ever since Eurospa across the street.
I always prefer Capitol Barber up in Capitol Hill but sometimes I just don’t have a chance to get there. Still though, the lovely ladies at Bubbles are really good and they do a great job at chiseling through my weird shaped big head — especially at covering up my bald spots and making me look younger — oh the vanity!
The real reason stopping me from giving them a 4 or five star review is that I think the prices are a little high. I typically leave paying like $ 37 (with tip and taxes). I know I know — women reading this review will want to smack me in the mouth complaining about a thirty seven dollar haircut but I guess I’ve just been spoiled by the barbers in the burbs or over on Capitol Hill which are very inexpensive. The staff at Bubbles are excellent — always super nice to me.

Like others here, I have nothing but praises to sing for Lisa. I’ve been going to her for almost a year now and she’s just wonderful. She always gives a great cut, tells me when a style I like may or may not be the best fit for me, and warns me when something I like may be more of a styling commitment than I’m up for. I neither work nor live anywhere near K St, but I always make the trek for her!

This review is for Lisa. I’ve been In DC for a year and got my hair cut once at a salon in Arlington and was not happy. I then started flying home to get my hair cut until I met Lisa at Bubbles at K st. I booked an appointment with her based on her reviews on Unilocal.Wow, she really is great! She did an amazing job on cutting and styling my hair. And we had a wonderful conversation. I would recommend her to everyone!

Claudia has been my hairstylist for several years – she is amazing! So talented, friendly, and personable. Her and Tasha did my wedding hair and make-​up. I was so impressed by their level of expertise and dedication to helping me find the perfect look :)

I was in town for a wedding and got an updo by Ana. She is fabulous! She took the time to talk through exactly what I wanted, but also gave me style suggestions that turned out great. I highly recommend this salon! Definitely the best deal in the area.

I’m new to Bubbles, but I have been getting waxed by Ethi for years. She’s amazing. Such a sweet person and a great waxer. She knows what she’s good at, she will tell you if she doesn’t or isn’t good at something (which is rare in dc). She’s professional, she’s kind and she does a great job. I highly recommend her!

Always, Always ask for Blanca. She is amazing. I’ve seen her do all hair types and lengths. I have gray hair, which is extremely hard to manage. Blanca Always gives me the best color, cut and style. She’s been my Stylist for three years. I’ll follow her anywhere. Always ask for Blanca!!!

I always get my eyebrows done here, largely because it is near my office, but also because they always take me without an appointment. Ethiopia has done my brows the last couple of times I’ve gone and she is quick, gentle and always wipes my face down with a warm towel at the end of the wax. Love that touch!
Sara (h?) cut my hair once and I didn’t LOVE it, but it wasn’t the worst I’ve gotten in DC either. It’s a great deal, too – I haven’t seen cheaper services anywhere else in DC except at the Aveda beauty school.

This place is incredible and it’s all thanks to the wonderful Eti (who does manicures and waxes both). She is such a professional and is so thorough. She takes her time and makes sure her clients are fully satisfied. And she gets a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ customer service. It’s a delight to see her every time!

I just got a perm last week and was really happy with it … until I slept on it and my hair completely straight again the next day! Very weird, and not sure what happened, whether it was my hair type or a procedure gone wrong, but I’m actually writing to give a positive review because of the way management dealt with it.
They immediately reassured me that it is not supposed to be like that, and something was done wrong, and that I can schedule a follow up to get another perm done for free. When I expressed concern for getting a second perm done right away, they immediately confirmed that I could get my money back instead, as they had a satisfaction guaranteed policy. I just went back in today and they didn’t get me a hard time at all. I appreciated it, Bubbles!

Lisa Lisa Lisa! Lisa was my best hairstylist, absolutely love her!
She always gave me my perfect cut and knew when to recommend something different. I went to her for about 3 years before I left DC and was devastated that I would have to find a new hair girl!
As a bonus, she’s SO fun to talk to. It’s like listening to stand up while getting your hair done. She has a great sense of self-​deprecating, sarcastic humor. You will laugh your ass off and come out feeling like a million bucks. It’s a great pick-​me-​up when feeling blue!
The other stylists always seemed equally nice/​funny, everyone in the chairs was always smiling. The receptionist was always nice too! Nice location and clean little salon!

I just moved to DC and my friend here recommended this location, specifically she recommended Natasha.
Booking an appointment was very easy on their website. I went last night and LOVED it! Nice, clean salon with a great variety of products. Everyone there was very friendly.
Natasha was great! She used great products, cut my hair exactly as I wanted it, and blew it dry into a gorgeous style.
Will definitely be back! No complaints here.

Went in for a fringe trim and was pleasantly surprised for several reasons: on time, inexpensive, and they treated my trim as if it was a full cut — none of the usual ‘oh, it’s just a trim, treat her like a throw away.’ Trust me, as a girl who has sported a fringe all of her life, going in for a trim ESPECIALLY when you are not a regular client is typically, a joke experience. Bubbles made sure I felt like a full client, a regular client, not some girl who booked a quick fringe trim. Definitely going back for a full cut.

Just got off the phone with the MOST RUDE receptionist. I have dark turquoise hair and needed a glaze, and she said they wouldn’t order they dye to do it. She also gave a snotty «alright» and hung up on me.
Horrible.

The rating is essentially for Lisa (although the front desk people are always helpful and friendly as well). I struggled for three years to find a stylist I liked in DC including some less than satisfactory experiences at this salon. The first time I saw Lisa was my junior year of college when it was really convenient logistically. I’ve been graduated two years and live in a completely different part of the city. This salon is in no way convenient for me to get to but I keep going back because Lisa is amazing.
She listens to what you want, is incredibly attentive, and is just a generally funny person to talk to. She has a great sense of humor and I always look forward to visiting her. I cannot recommend her enough.

DeAnna is amazing! I was a little apprehensive about getting front bangs, but she made me feel comfortable and cut the just right to frame my face and compliment my face shape. Receiving compliments left and right since my appointment. Will definitely come back to see DeAnna!!!

Stylist: Lisa
So, it’s three years later and I still go to Lisa and only Lisa for anything to do with my hair. It’s not even as convenient because I have switched jobs but there is simply no one else I trust with my hair! She is terrific.
Lisa has cut my hair countless times and she has highlighted my hair several times and it always looks great. She also is super friendly, has a great sense of humor, and really cares about what is important to you — she truly listens. She also really knows her stuff — I come to her with my crazy questions and she has never led me astray. My only wish is that Lisa could be my personal hair stylist and do my hair every day!

I’d been to Bubbles a few times in the past few years but had always ended up going elsewhere unless I just needed something quick. It’s not that they were ever bad. They just weren’t great.
However, I returned and had Lisa cut my hair. She’s a great hair stylist and just a great person over and actually got me to start going here regularly for the better part of a year. This should mean something coming from someone who HATES getting their hair done. Definitely give Lisa a try!
