Best hair cutters in Washington, District of Columbia

Puglisi's Hair Cuts

I've been to this hair cutters twice. They are a little on the expensive side (~ $60 for a woman's hair cut) but they are worth it. Also if you are a GWU student there is a discount, and you can pay on your GWU card. I've gotten short bobs both times, and one of those times they threw in a small conditioning lotion for free. The place is clean, sleek, and modern, and seem to do as much if not more business with male customers.

Bubbles Hair Salon

I went to this hair salon once. It was a little out of my price range, and while I got a great haircut, it was a little more "extreme" than i wanted. I went for a chin-length cut and the cutter went a little crazy in back, shortening and spiking it. While it looked very "cool", it was not a look I could keep up daily. I went in 2007, when I was in college and had a little more flexible income.

Diegos Hair Salon

My boyfriend got his hair cut at this place, and loved it! While it was expensive for a man's cut, he was happy that they didnt just give him the same short haircut he gets everywhere else. They styled and designed his hair, so that while it was short, it still had a "look". He also felt that the cutters really listened to what he wanted, and even gave examples from magazines to show him to make sure they knew what he wanted.

Salonblu

SalonBlu has a great collection of high end products, which is actually the reason I first went in. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and even convinced me to come back for a haircut that they said would look great on me! I went back and it was true, they gave me a great cut, and even gave me a good price [I am not sure what the standard price for a cut is]. Also, they do blowouts without an appointment, so that is something good to keep in mind!

Watergate Barber

Watergate Barber is in the Watergate complex, and like all the other stores in this place, it is high class and no-nonsense. Men come in to get a quick, 15 minute cut before going to meetings and come in often to get trims. I took my boss there a few times. The staff are up on their politics, friendly and witty, and will get their job done with plenty of time to spare. Mostly men's cuts.
