Tracy & Company

I was new to this salon! I had only manicure so far and it was a great experience! Andre is a very careful, caring and professional nail specialist. He did my nails quick and with no mistakes.
Color stayed for 5 days with regular polish

This review is for Nina. I also followed her from her previous salon. I never have a problem seeing her and she is ALWAYS so happy and does an excellent job, whether it’s nails or waxing. She’s my go to girl, and I’ve never been let down.

I go there for waxing. Andre is the best, and keeps me coming back.

Touria is awesome! I have been seeing her for close to a year now.

After years of coping with adult acne, Andre set me on a regimen that cleared it up. His eyebrow waxing is spot-​on, they are never uneven, and he does a terrific manicure!

Nina (nail technician) is the BEST! I normally receive a pedicure and ALWAYS get compliments on how great my feet look. When I need to relax and feel pampered, I visit Nina. I’ve followed her from her previous shop to Tracy’s and I’m so happy she didn’t lose touch with me. She’s not only accommodating, efficient, timely and sweet, but the bonus: she treats me like family. You can’t beat that! Call ahead for an appointment.

Nina the nail technician is AMAZING! I am so pleased to have found her again. In addition to providing an awesome mani and pedi, she also gives great bikini, eyebrow and lip waxing. Thanks Tracy for welcoming Nina into your salon! Call ahead to make an appt!

I completely trust Tracy with my hair. She’s cut my hair in a number of different short styles, and I’ve loved all of them. My most recent hair style was actually my favorite– spiky and fun with really short sides. Tracy’s great!

This is for a shampoo blowout; Touria rocked, she worked quickly despite my wavy hair, & gave me a full bodied look without any product use (I asked for none). She’s got great mellow energy & is incredibly kind… The rest of the staff also seem really nice & low key…
She talked to me about changing up my products & asked about frequency of haircuts, & I really appreciated that she wasn’t pushing anything on me but just educating me… & when I asked for tea (it was 10′ out!) she said of course & asked if I wanted cream or sugar… Just great service, & did I mention I called at 11am & asked how soon I could be seen and she said to just walk over & she’d take me !
I’ll be taking my mom there as well & will call her again for my next trim… Really happy I checked them out !!

I have been going to Tracy ever since my daughter’s wedding. The highlights she put in her hair made her shine as she walked down the aisle. Three children later she again gave her a makeover as she had stopped coloring her hair. Wow. As for my short white hair she manages to give such a cut that my mood rises as she works. She gives me a lift just by going to her salon.

I wanted to love love love this place! Super cute, great location, and great pricing… so I thought. Walked in on a Saturday, was quoted $ 35 but there was no availability! Got a same day appointment today, confirmed the price. Go to pay and the stylist says $ 75.00 due to my hair type and time it took her… BLANK STARE um yeah, NOPE. she ended up saying $ 45 but no matter back to the salons in Adams Morgan and near U Street that are faster & less pricey. Too bad too cause the location was perfect :/

A quick update: I have been a loyal customer for three years and I hate to think of ever having to go anywhere else.
A while back, in my early 20s, I flirted with super short hair, but never liked it because I always felt like I looked like a boy, or just looked bad. That’s why I descended into a number of years of simply wearing my hair in a ponytail. Until I found Tracy, who works some kind of magic each time I go, and gives me a short, cute haircut that requires minimal (no) effort on my behalf every morning. I get compliments on my cut ALL the time, and did I say it requires no effort on my part to style in the morning? I don’t look like a boy, but man I love my haircut. (See what I did there at the end! Sort of a pun! High five, me.)
Thank you Tracy, and good luck with your awesome side projects (to those of you who go to her, ask about her metal sculpting!). But PLEASE don’t ever stop cutting hair.

Tracy has been cutting my hair for years now and I’m always happy. She fits me in on short notice and does a great job!

I really really like this this place! I have lived in DC for three years and have bounced from salon to salon never finding one that I really like. But I think I have finally found one!
I hadn’t gotten a hair cut in over a year because I had such a bad experience last time, but decided to give Tracy and Co a try since it’s near my house.
I went for a cut and highlights and couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. The stylist was attentive and took great care of me. She listed to what I wanted and did a great job. It wasn’t too badly priced either. Win/​win/​win.
I will certainly be back!

I’ve been in this shop for other non-​hair related services, so I’m not commenting on that.
I am commenting on the overall appearance and cleanliness of the salon. I did not comment after my first time there as I thought perhaps it was an anomaly. Well, months later it’s the same; I’m usually there on a weekday early to midday (no one cutting hair/​the shop just opened). When in the waiting area, each time I’ve been there, I observed hair on the floor, bench and the table holding the magazines. The waiting area is not particularly near the hair cutting area.
I’m worried that the place is not cleaned very often or swept.
Tracy & Company is located close to the Eastern Market metro and on the Circulator line (the bus stop is literally right outside of their shop, making it very convenient).

I went for the first time for an haircut w/​o expecting too much: not much luck lately with my groupon deals, so I was ready for mediocre results, but surprise suprise I came out with a fantastic haircut. Cherelle (sp?) is a small pretty young stylist who knows her job.
I came back for a colour (bleach first then colour as I like my hair veru very light) and Cherelle did her magic again. She consulted with the other stylists in the salon and put together a colour formula that was perfect. I had a similar experience in France and I couldn’t be more pleased to know that I can get the same results here in my back yard thanks to this salon.
The place is very small and I can see — if children are present — how noisy it could get, but the prices are very reasonable which reflects the «family style» place.
If you are looking for a posh salon do not come here, but if the outcome is important than, try it.

Talented stylists! Fun atmosphere! Fabulous haircut! GREAT PRICE!
Obviously everyone’s experience is going to be different since it depends on the stylist you get. But I think Tracy hires smart, talented people. The woman who cut my hair actually took the time to discuss what I wanted. We looked at pictures and she went over what would and wouldn’t work with my face shape. She also gave me a reality check on some of the haircuts I liked in their salon books, leveling with me about the amount of product used to get that specific look and how high maintenance something would be.
She was also conservative with how much she lobbed off at first. Then she showed me what it looked like and asked if I wanted to cut more off. As she said, you can always take off, but you can’t put back.
The salon was decorated for Valentine’s Day with giant hearts and lips everywhere. It was super fun. I got a great vibe from everyone in there. And the best part was, the price was SO reasonable! I think I spent 50 dollars total, with tip. That’s way better than what I was paying at my previous salon downtown.
If you live on the Hill and are looking for a new salon, try Tracy’s!

I wonder if patrons had been offered incentives in exchange for 5-​star reviews that would compromise the integrity of this reviewing system.
I’m breaking my self-​imposed rule of only negatively reviewing a place after a repeat visit, but my experience was not at all consistent with the raving 5-​star reviews I saw here that led me to try Tracy & Company in the first place.
«Meh. I’ve experienced better» or «A-​OK» are more apt descriptions.
I have previously told stylists that I’m trying to grow my hair out, don’t like my layers, and want long side swept bangs and normally get an OK cut. Here I’m not sure if it even looks like I just got a haircut. I got sprayed with hair product from the next chair over and both I and my stylist choked back some coughs. The shampoo was fine but I got a shock of cold water and no scalp massage or anything, which is normally my favorite part of getting a haircut, though I get that not every place does that.
What I am saying is: There was nothing special about this place and it wasn’t even totally comfortable.
I feel like I’m being unfair by only giving three stars after only one visit that may have been an anomaly, especially with what may have been a tricky request. It just really didn’t feel like a 5-​star salon! I especially feel bad writing a negative review of a small business, but I and other people rely on Unilocal,and I just don’t think this business’ average rating was an accurate reflection of the general customer experience.

I REALLY wish a reviewer on here had mentioned that this place is for middle-​aged women! I’ve tried a couple hair places in DC with no success, and decided to try Tracy and Co. based on the high reviews. I was pretty disappointed.
When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was that everyone, customers and staff, were at least 35+, most over 40 even. I am 25, and have a longish, layered, young haircut. I was a bit apprehensive when I saw that this was more my mother’s crowd than mine, but figured I would give it a try and not judge based on age.
Bad move. After showing my hairstylist a picture of messy, shoulder-​length layers that I wanted, I walked out looking like a frigging 40 year old woman (which is perfectly fine if you are 40– not so much when you’re 25). It’s pretty bad. I can’t really describe it, except to say that I look like a soccer mom. Not a good look. Now all I can do is wait until I visit my home city again so I can get my real hairdresser to fix what’s been done (EXPENSIVELY!) to my hair. Way too much money for a rubbish haircut.
If you are young (ie 30 and under), I would recommend avoiding this place.
