Update May2022, since my service my hair continues to break and is super dry. I have to cut all of my hair. Be careful... of the products if your hair appears dry and fine like mines, they may use too strong of a relaxer/products. In any case it is super painful to pay $300 just to shave your head months later due to severe breakage. I recently returned to DC and visited the salon after many years of being away. I had an appt with a stylist but after I arrived she decided to change me to another stylist because I had in cornrows- I had crochet braids. That in itself was okay , however I could see that "the owner" was quite upset and was giving a stern talk to the stylist she assigned me to... I was escorted upstairs and given a talk and the price tag of $300. Embarrassed, I said okay, the salon was expensive in the past and I wanted a color, treatment, and relaxer....What was most surprising at the end was I was charged $90 for a women's cut to clip my ends which I think was really punitive because I came in with cornrows which by the way I removed instead of paying $50 for removal....I wrote to the salon and asked about the charge but got no response. I was not even offered something to drink. While I don't mind paying a premium for services and go out of my to support black business, I don't like to feel shunned. I doubt I will return to this salon.read more

I was really disappointed with the curly cut I received here. I went in August 2021 and I waited to write a review so I... could compare it with other salons that offer curly cut services. I spent over $140+ and I left the salon with wet hair. I felt like the stylist didn't bother styling well. All that my hair was, was moisturized. Also the stylist made me believe I was losing hair (which was not the case, I hadn't washed it in awhile so the shedding had built up due to not detangling). Overall, I would not come back to this salon if you have curly hair. Again, super disappointed for a salon that has stellar reviews.read more

Best haircut ever. I’ve been wanting to cut my hair into a more masculine, short style for years. And Heran cut and... shaped it better then I ever could have imagined! I’ve gotten stopped on the street by people asking me where I got my haircut. 5 stars for Heran and Salon Revive.read more

HERAN SHEFERAW is a miracle worker with amazing hands!!! I walked in looking rough with dry, bleached, straw hair and... walked out a new women. She literally revitalized my hair and accented my curl pattern. I'm so excited to start this natural hair car journey with her!! She's amazing. All the ladies at the salon were very sweet.read more

I went to this salon twice and my hair has gotten healthier ever since I started going. I got there for trims every 4-6... months and have overall better hair retention. The women who work there are incredibly patient and understanding, I will absolutely return.read more

My daughter started going in August with a healthy head of hair. It’s broken, fried and severely damaged. I don’t... understand how this happened with her going every two weeks. I’m so disappointed. The last time my daughter was there, she felt as though the lady was talking about her too another client. Saying how poorly her hair was. She allowed this to happen. She is the stylist not my daughter.read more

I had a great experience at this salon! When scheduling my appointment, Amy took great care to ask me questions that... would match me with the right hairstylist. They started on right away when I arrived, and I was in and out of there in an hour. It is now 5 days later and my hair is still bouncy and has not frizzed. No hairstyle has ever held this long! I highly recommend this salon, especially if you have natural curly hair.read more

For 5 years I've been loyal to Salon Revive and the fabulous Galya! After 7 years of only getting haircuts when... visiting my former city, I am grateful to have found a stylist that understands my difficult hair with unruly cowlicks and random breakage, who is creative and gives me fun and edgy (not dowdy!), low maintenance short cuts and bright highlights. The owner and all the staff are stellar to boot! I always feel welcome and walk out feeling so good. Thank you!read more

Heran Shiferaw changed my life. You could continue reading or you could just look at the pictures. I came into salon... revive 3 years ago with shoulder length hair that was broken, dry, and difficult to manage. Heran gave my a phyto relaxer, recommended several aveda products, and gave me advice on how to use the products day to day. Before seeing Heran at salon revive, I would go to other salons 3-5 times a year and spend $$ per month on products at target. Now I go twice per year and use only the products Heran recommends. 3 years, +10 inches of healthy growth. While I spend more per visit than I used to at cheaper salons and use more expensive products than the ones at target, the annual cost of my hair care has plummeted while the length and health of my hair grows every visit.Thank you, Heran!UPDATE: Heran styled my hair for my wedding and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. The wedding pictures were taken in late June in 88 degree heat during peak humidity and my hair still looked amazing.read more

I just moved to DC and was very nervous to find a new hair stylist and salon. I had such a great experience at Salon... Revive, specifically with Gayla! She talked through all of my concerns and ideas and was obviously very knowledgeable about my hair texture and how to keep it healthy. I loved the color and style we went with and will definitely be back!!read more

Great stylists who specialize in kinkier to textured hair. Heran has cut my hair twice and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.... She’s really talented. Friendly and understanding stylists who will get down to the root of an issue with you, in effort to fix misunderstandings.read more

It pains me to update my review. But I have experienced a terrible experience and waisted nearly $500 twice at this... salon with little understanding why the level of hair styling professionalism has tanked. I have worked with Azmi for two plus years. She is the specialist on protective hair styles. My last visit resulted in my hair (for the second time) being damaged by her sewing it into weave tracks. The result was a matted, itchy, burning mess and the salon’s lackadaisical response. It’s a shame. Moreover she’s better than this mess that would have resulted in hair loss had I not had it removed in a timely manner.read more

First of all I ended up getting lost walking to Salon Revive from U Street Station in Washington, DC on today July 18,... 2021. The last time that I was here I took an Uber. This salon is so ridiculously expensive. I spent $293.24 and I even bought hair products included in the price. I also gave the stylist a $20 tip. I'll still give good tips at my new hair salon Meron Hair Salon which I have been there several times. Meron Hair Salon is in Wheaton Mall next to Macy's that have better prices. When you first get to Salon Revive you aren't told how much any of the services cost. I received a trim, my hair was steam treated. Also my hair was washed and conditioned and then coiled. My hair is short. I should not have been charged that much. I had an appointment today Sunday July 18, 2021 at 10:30 am and because I got lost I was only a few minutes late I called twice. My calls were ignored and left 2 text messages my text messages were completely ignored as well. Please do not use this business Salon Revive!read more

I started coming to this salon in August 2020. I stumbled upon them searching online for a salon that does good natural... hair. When reading the reviews Galya was nicely spoken of and there was a picture of her work.I made an appointment and 8 months later I have been regularly seeing her! I no longer have my picture 🙁 of when she first touched my hair ... but leading up to today I can assure you Galya is a sweet person and has been a God send.My hair was initially damaged and stopped at the top of my shoulders. In the lower back near my neck a portion of that hair was shorter than the rest. It would shed endlessly and was very brittle. To date, my hair has gradually come back to life. The length is several inches longer, minimal shedding, not brittle and no area is struggling to keep up with the other.The products used on my hair are a contributing factor in my happiness however, Galya has been nothing but consistent with her routine/technique and never fails to deliver the best service from washing to styling!Not to mention, each time I come to this salon it is impeccably clean, welcoming, organized, professional and makes you feel safe. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful on the phone and in person.I like perfect but NOTHING that’s real is perfect. That said, I’m praying I can continue to enjoy and appreciate my regular visits here however, if I make a mistake on my job and want forgiveness then I am willing to understand within reason if this salon makes a mistake- as long as it’s not blatant or frequent. I highly recommend this place because even though your hair is the main goal, it’s not often you can find a spot with numerous benefits in one!read more

After enjoying this salon for well over 10 years, I was disappointed in the lack of professionalism when a confirmed... appointment was rescheduled for later in the day without my knowledge or consent. As the reviews highlight, the salon does quality work. Do not count on the salon for an important hair appointment, have a backup or schedule important appointments with another salon.read more

One of the hidden gems in Washington D.C. for your hair care needs. I've been going to Salon Revive for several years... and true to their name they revived my dull, burned hair to a vibrant mane with their love, natural Aveda products and knowledgeable expertise. They even provide delicious tea upon your visit! Still looking for that particular tea myself for my enjoyment at my new salon of choice. Lily is a talented hair stylist, she helped me with choosing even vibrant blondish highlights that didn't damage my hair! I highly recommend them for their exceptional service, loving spirit and to be blessed by their Guardian.read more
