George Salon at the Four Seasons

Raechel is AH-MAZING! I followed her from Fredericksburg VA and she’s worth every bit of the drive time! My mother and I both see her. She does the perfect blonde for me and and a stunning strawberry blonde for my mom. I have a skin fade with longer top and my mom has a chin length bob. Raechel is funny, and very knowledgeable. She also knows how to help both of us style our hair in new ways so we don’t get bored with the cuts. Ask for RAECHEL!

Miss Raechel is incredible!! She is an amazing artist and a genuinely kind soul. If you are looking for amazing hair and a truly fun time, book with her!!!

Great location. Everyone are so nice and amazing. Mark is my favorite stylist in the area 🤍🤍🤍 He is amazing with color style and specially hair extensions. He provides you the best quality hair that can last up to 8 months ( or even more depending on how often you use hot tools or chemical ) His technic is amazing and you would get the most natural looking extensions ever that no one can notice. He is perfect with blending the extensions with your hair and he will make sure the color is matches without you even mentioning.

The person I got my haircut with was nice but was scattered, inattentive, and had the worst hands of any stylist I’ve ever worked with. He would slam the clippers into the side of my head and literally created a dent at the top of a fade on the left side, I’ve personally done without issue on my own with clippers. There were several points at which I had to shout for him to stop and pay attention because he was jittering around my head with an open clipper. I wish I’d just rented the seat and equipment, and cut my own hair.

They are the BEST. No one else is allowed to touch my hair for the past 11 years other than Sertac and Serkan of George Salon. In those years, I’ve considered and done some drastic changes (drastic for me!) to my hair, and they’ve guided me through every decision, and made sure that the health of my hair was always top priority. And I always get compliments on my hair! Not only is my hair in great hands, but I always walk out the salon with a full heart. The entire staff is always so kind and welcoming—couldn’t recommend them more!

If you book an appointment, you really have to book with the owner, Ismael… Or be very specific that you required a skilled person. I have gone to the salon in the past and loved it. But today I was put with whoever was available and I’m sorry, but my hair is really really easy to do and I left looking a mess. I felt bad for the guy but I feel bad for myself paying $80 for a blowout and coming back to my hotel room just to wash my hair so it didn’t look so bad

I love the salon and there are several great stylists. BUT, they are dishonest about their pricing. What you think will be a total of 200 hundred ends up being 400 when you go to check - out. Each stylist has their own prices and that can change without any warning. Kind of sad because, I really like a few of the stylists a lot but can't really trust the business side of the house.

Serkan was wonderful! He looked at my general mess of a cut and color and clearly stated exactly how we could improve it and then did just that! I feel totally happy with the cut and would be delighted to return again :)

Came for my sisters wedding weekend and Adnan and Marcus worked magic on my mom and sisters hair. Highly recommend going if you need to freshen up or styled. I have never received so many compliments on hair in my life than I have this weekend. Please go and just ask for one of them to do your hair you won't regret it.

I was shocked when I went to George because I was expecting Four Seasons quality. The towels are dirty. The floors are hairy. My stylist Ish was mediocre and rude and gave me a bad rushed haircut.

If you can get in run! Don't walk! Appointments take weeks or months to secure! Spend the day at The Four Seasons and enjoy!!

If you go to this salon you have to go to the owner, Ishmael. Do not just accept any available appointment even for something as simple as a blow out.

i went to George because a mom at Beauvoir recommended Ish. It was obvious from the beginning that he was only interested in a certain type of client - blonde, social and snobby. He burned my scalp with the hair dryer because he couldn't be bothered to pay attention and left me with my hair half cut when one of his preferred clients came in. He just left to go air kisd her and gossip. Avoid at all cost. He is pretentious, snobby and a total wannabe.

One of the best salons in the world!!! Always excited to be in DC and able to have my hair done here.. Ismael is amazing, as is everyone here!! Teena Hostovich, Los Angeles

George at the Four Seasons is the best salon for highlighted blondes in DC Metro Area. 12 years as a client. Consistently happy with the results and customer experience. Hair appointment days at George = the best days!

Sertac has been my colorist for 8 years now, after several supposedly top stylists at other salons failed miserably to give me the brass-free mix of highlights and lowlights I wanted. I came to him with a dimensionless, brassy mess, and he transformed it into the awesome blend of cool-toned blond color I wanted. And he's done it consistently ever since. So I think he's fantastic, and happily followed him to George when he left Urban Style Lab. He's excellent, and clearly cares about his work and his clients. Even calls afterward if we've decided to do do something a little different with the color balance, just to make sure I love it--which I always do. I can't speak to the quality of other stylists there, as I've only ever gone to Sertac, but they are always very busy and appear to do great work. The salon overall is warm and inviting and very well-run. Five stars for sure.

I went to the salon for the first time. Ibo gave me a haircut & blow dry. The cut was superb and I couldn't be happier.

Had a curly hair cut with Ginger and it was great! My hair looks so much healthier and I left with extremely happy curls, would 10/10 recommend for other curly girls!

I've never left a review on yelp. This was the most inattentive haircut I've ever had. I got a dry cut for curly hair from Ginger. She didn't ask about how I parted my hair, I had to tell her while she was diffusing it (everyone asks), I told her I only wanted an inch off she took off a lot more and worst I said I wanted to make sure I had coverage in the back because I have a small bald spot from having cancer. She said, well you don't really see the back of your head - as if I don't want my hair to look good for the back. And she didn't trim the front of my hair until I mentioned it and then took too much off. For $225 I left with a bob and had a better shape when I came than when I left.

I went to Ginger for a curly cut, and love how it turned out! She did a great job of asking what I wanted from the haircut and what I was comfortable with before starting. She also gave her opinion when I wasn't certain about trying new layers or something of the sort. Would definitely recommend Ginger for curly hair!

Been going to George on/off for years now. Saw a new stylist this week. Mark C. Is excellent with blonde color and hair cuts! I was beyond impressed. He asked a lot of questions and really understood what I wanted.

Having long hair I always worry when it's time to get a haircut, but this time I decided to go all out and cut it short! I wanted to pick a good hair salon and despite being my first time at George's Salon, they lived up to their amazing reputation! I got my hair cut by Jennifer, and she was great! She was very professional and made sure she understood exactly what I wanted. She was funny and extremely nice and I enjoyed our conversation while there. By the end of my haircut, I was more than happy! I was in love with my haircut from the beginning and Jennifer mentioned I could walk in anytime to get my bangs trimmed, no appointment needed! From now on I will always be getting my hair done at George's Salon and can't wait to get a new look!

If I could give George at The Four Seasons more than five stars, I would. My hair was cut, colored and styled by Ibo. I haven't been this pleased with a Salon for a very long time. I sent my daughter before she started her first real job in Boston. Her hair looked perfect so I decided to give Ibo at George at The Four Seasons a try. I gave Ibo some idea of what I wanted and then he worked his magic improving on my ideas. Have already booked my next appt. If you can't find parking there's valet parking at the Four Seasons for 12 dollars. Also, there's an ATM in the salon to get cash for tips. Very convenient. The staff was very friendly, as well.

Horrid. Got my hair cut here by Timo (Ishmail wasn't available for a few weeks) on a Friday. Wasn't offered anything to drink upon walking in. Went to the restroom - which is right off the staff room/hair coloring lab/kitchen room with a rather flimsy door; It's just not a luxe experience to come here. The whole place doesn't scream luxury. For being next to the Four Seasons, one would think it would. It carries luxe products though like Oribe. Bathroom was nice and clean, but I was there at 10AM so, it was early. A haircut with Timo will set you back $150. For that much, I expect expertise and thoughtfulness. Got an average/ok wash by one of their shampoo staff. Chairs aren't particularly comfortable and she never asked me if water temp was okay. Next, I go back to Timo's chair. I notice their white salon furniture (drawers, etc) is quite dirty looking and just didn't feel relaxed. The shampoo staffer brought me a coffee and it proceeded to sit there for 45 minutes as Timo didn't allow even a second for me to lean forward and grab that much needed cup of java. My hair was wet he went straight to work after I sat down. Took him awhile, and my cut is pure "Meh." Worst was when he took out a bunch of dirty boar bristle roundbrushes from a drawer - I actually saw long strands of light color hair (en masse) in those same brushes he used on me. My biggest gripe, more than anything else, was the way I was treated by Timo during the consultation which took place prior to the shampoo. He barely spoke and when he did -- it sounded to me like somewhat broken English and he seemed to have some sort of speech impediment which made it hard to understand him. Those 2 things are normally acceptable to me except for that he was rude and stoic - I understand if someone's English isn't the greatest and I especially empathize & feel for anyone with a speech impediment, but let me know those things as we communicate!!! That's part of your job as a stylist - to communicate properly with your customers! He could've called over one of the salon staff who were there and seemingly free. A major something g about our interaction should've told him I wasn't ok with his plan -- even though I kept asking questions, he barely answered and sort of just kept rushing me. The entire time I was with him never smiled, wasn't courteous, and was COLD to me the entire time. Never asked me how much length I wanted off. Never discussed what the back would look like nor offered me to see it when I was done (FFS, they even offer that at Drybar where cuts don't even happen!). I was specific about liking my long hair and told him I liked a jagged cut to which he berated me by repeatedly telling me I was saying it wrong and I shouldn't say it like that. I now have much shorter hair than I expected. To add insult to injury: He never offered or told me about any of the beautiful looking Oribe products which weren't even properly displayed on his cabinet - he could have used (or offered to use) at least one of those on me at the end to help me keep my "style." The quality of this cut is Supercuts level. Stay away!

First of all- the receptionists and my stylist were great. Dimitri listened to my ask to only take a teeny bit off (one stylists don't often heed) and was warm and friendly. However, the salon was dirty. Not just busy day -lots going on, but actual dirt, trash, and hair everywhere. The ladies room was in a back of house area which I was surprised to see was for clients. I also had to stand around and wait for my shampoo. At $130 for a 45 minutes haircut, it was certainly a Four Seasons price without the Four Seasons level of service.

Looking for a fabulous hair cut/ color and a place to brush up on your Foreign Language skills? George's. Not unusual to see visiting Dignitaries, TV Talking Heads, or Politicians. If they've got to look good for the camera, then George's is good enough for me. Looses one star for the 70's-ish remodeling job that took place last year. I miss the old Look.

It's with great hesitation that I provide this review, as I do not wish to have difficulty booking hair appointments in the future, but hopefully I can help a few women out. Ishmael, the owner, is amazing. He was rated the best hair stylist for blondes in DC at one point, and he's simply fantastic. Beautiful blended highlights is a specialty. His brother, Ibo, is similarly amazing, but honestly, they're all great. If $250 for cut/highlights seems outrageous to you, don't go and then leave a pissy review here. By all means, don't spend money you don't have, but if you know the value of having a great stylist that you're loyal to and aren't deterred by the pricing (which is all relative, really - spending $500 for a great cut in NY/LA is not uncommon), give this salon a try. Their clientele includes DCs elite - members of Congress, lobbyists, socialites - many 40+, so I feel lucky that I discovered them early, by late-twenties. Plan on a cut/color taking 2 hours, just to be safe - I often schedule too tightly and get stressed out, but I love it when I have the time to enjoy the experience.

I can't speak for any of the other stylists' work, but Sertac is the bomb. I followed him here from Urban Style Lab and he is just awesome when it comes to color; he's super talented and also laid back and cool. I am really sad to be moving from the DC area because I'll have to find another colorist. I've done almost every color in the book with Sertac and he is always open to experimenting and trying something new. I highly recommend him for color and the assistants and front desk folks are really lovely here as well.

I had the most amazing manicure experience that I've ever had with the nail technician at George at the Four Seasons. My friend and I were on a time crunch before our spring break travel plans and asked for an 8AM slot just a few minutes before. They made the appointment right away and the nail technician could not have been sweeter! I am so happy with how my nails turned out and would absolutely recommend George at the Four Seasons to anyone.

If I could give this salon 0 stars I would. I used to be a regular client but then moved out of town for the past 15 yrs. In August I needed bang trim and a minor shaping and was scheduled with EJ. Not only did she not follow the lines of my previous Fekkai cut, she cut off all the highlights in the back of my head, layered it to the crown and never trimmed the bangs that were still too long. When I got home and looked at the back of my head, I made an emergency appt at another salon to have the damage (highlights and cut) partially repaired for another $300. I was told that it will take 4 months to grow out. In looking at the website, I now see that EJ is a nail technician who "When she isn't providing nail services, you can find EJ assisting the salon's hair stylists and practicing her cut, color and styling techniques". I really did not expect to have someone "practicing her techniques" when I booked the appt. at this salon for $150. I wrote a letter of complaint but it remains unanswered.

i had a 50 min deep tissue massage and a 20 min mini facial here today. The mini facial was free with the massage as part of a promotion for the spa. The massage was pretty good. Not the best i have had, but not bad at all. The masseuse was a little hesitant to go too deep since she could tell i was uncomfortable with high pressure, but i told her i was ok with some discomfort. I asked her to skip the front of the body to focus instead on the lower back and she did, and managed to loosen it up quite a bit. With a deep tissue massage, its not the most pleasant or comfy experience during the massage, but you should feel very relaxed afterwards - and that's how i felt. When i left the spa, i felt great. The facial was a very nice bonus. The lady did some extractions and did scrubs, clay, steaming etc and suggested i come back another time to do a full facial to get more thorough extractions done. I tend to have an oily forehead and chin, so it was good to get some professional cleanup and attention to those areas. She also pointed out my cheeks were sensitive and i should not use scrubs or other products there, which i had not thought about before, but it made sense, The locker and shower facilities are very nice. The steam room was not the most robust - there was steam, but not a lot of it. It was a nice and spacious steam room, but the performance was a little lame - quite disappointing . 3 hr validated parking was def a big plus, and the hotel itself and location were of course is very nice. I would consider going back again.

I went there a couple of months ago for a haircut. When I got it I really liked it, but then a couple of weeks after my hair started to get dry and split ends were coming out again, it felt like I never cut my hair or it was cut with an old scissor. Now it just doesn't grow like it use to and I don't know where to go anymore because if that is what I got for $150 I don't know who to trust anymore. So disappointed...

Expensive? Yes. Worth it? TOTALLY. My search is over. I've FINALLY found an amazing stylist/colorist in DC! Thank you dear lord baby jesus. It only took me 4 years! I was referred to Ishmail at George by a fellow blonde who consistently has amazing hair. So I figured it was worth a try! I honestly have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience. From the staff to the salon itself, I was so pleased. It is far from pretentious and my hair has never looked better! If you've been struggling to find somewhere in DC that will make you feel and look like a million bucks - bite the bullet and go to the George. It may put you back a few dollars, but you'll thank me later.

I visited George at the Four Seasons recently to get my brows shaped, and I was so impressed with my experience. My skin is very sensitive and doesn't respond well to wax, so I was thrilled to learn they have a woman there who does threading named Ayse. Making the appointment was a breeze. Rick, the manager of the salon, is wonderful. My brows desperately needed done before I went on vacation, and he was able to work around my schedule and get me in prior to leaving for vacation. He is so accommodating and sweet (not to mention handsome!). Ayse is fabulous! I explained to her exactly what I wanted, that I wanted my brows cleaned up but that the place I'd been going to recently had been making my brows way too narrow. She did fantastic work, and my brows looked great! She really knows what she's doing, and the pain was very minimal. Probably the least amount of pain I've ever endured having my brows shaped! This is definitely now my go-to spot for brow shaping.

I love this place! I was nervous on trying a new hair place since I have been going to the same place for 7 years. Honestly, I had a great experience from start to finish. They did a great job on my hair. I have been compliments on it the last few weeks. Ismael did my hair and its perfect. My hunt for a new hair salon is over. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I came to Georges years ago when I had a horrible allergic reaction to hair dye - they listened to my fears and worked with me. I was very nervous but after a few times there, felt better - The salon has a good vibe. Everyone from front desk to shampoo and stylists are friendly and helpful. Ismail has a great upbeat personality and amazing eye for hair color. He listens but will also make suggestions.They always try to accommodate my busy schedule and that means a lot to me. I I don't live close but wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

Ismail Tekin did a great job--the man gave me a lovely, fine, meticulous hair cut that got compliments even when it had long grown out. Unfortunately the masterpiece took a re-do. I came in for a consultation, and when I arrived for a cut I asked if we needed to go over the details and look at photos once again. Ismail said that he remembered everything, but he gave me a straight cut instead of an A-line bob. There was not much volume in back. The fix required going a little too short. I had been growing out my hair for months in order to have something to work with in sculpting the A-line. But two thumbs up for Ismail's willingness to fix and re-shape. He did a great job in the end. My hair never looked better.

I have been going to George's at the four season for the last 15 plus years. Dimitri Ferrer is my high light specialist I have been given many compliments on my color by many. Dimitri is very talented in his profession and I am very happy with his work. Also the staff is very attentive and professional as well.

My new go to since urban style lab closed. Love Sertac, Serkhan, and Melanie. For being at the Four Seasons, there's a casual family vibe (it's family owned) and the hair color and cuts are perfect, classic but also up to date. I love coming here and feel beautiful after every visit.

I had a miserably bad experience at George at the Four Seasons. I got my haircuts there for years before leaving Washington. When I moved back, I immediately checked to see if my former stylist was still there. He was and I was excited to have him cut and color my hair when needed. I set an appointment for highlights and all over color... and when the day came, off I went. During the hair coloring process, the stylist seemed a bit distracted, talking with a friend who was visiting. He colored and cut my hair. I tried not to panic, because it didn't look great and I thought "Well, let's see how it looks in a day or two." But a day later when I looked in my bathroom mirror, he had colored my hair RED. I am a dishwater blonde and have NEVER been a redhead. But up around the roots and for 2-3 inches out, it was BRIGHT CHRISTMAS RED. Eek! I called the salon. My hairdresser was now on vacation. The owner said he would "fix it." He fixed it allright. He toned down the red and then said he would cut it, too. He asked how it was supposed to be cut? I said "It's a blunt bob." (As if he couldn't have spotted that when I walked in?) He combed my wet-hair straight, parted it on the side, and took a small pair of scissors and "snip-snip-snip"... thirty seconds later, he was done. Any hairdresser can tell you that a haircut delivered in less than a minute is not a good thing. It's an assault on a woman's head. It took six months to grow out the bad haircut and rest of the red. I guess the lesson is, don't complain. Just go elsewhere. Never give them a second chance.

If I have the ability to put -10 stars I could do it. The fact that the salon is close to four seasons is not relevant at all. Due to my profession I interact with many top hair stylists. Anyway, I had my color done there. Ismael, the ''stylist'', was making rude comments about me in Turkish with the ugly stylist next to him which I could understood. He passed me to his assistant and she did all the work. She was lovely. In the meantime he went outside the salon to smoke. ( how professional, he probably thought he was on a Turkish mountain or something ) He left the color 15 min extra on as he was busy smoking. Maybe he got confused and he thought he was doing a hair color on a goat. Worst hair color ever and totally unprofessional treatment. A haircuttery salon gives you better service and definitely better hair color than them! Just STAY AWAY FROM THAT CLASSLESS AND UNPROFESSIONAL SALON PS Someone needs to tell those women that come out from that place that their hair looks like a helmet #tragic

This Salon has gone through a lot of changes over the last year. While George is still there, the Salon now has different owners. I believe recently the owners parted ways. I am hopeful that this means that the Salon will return to better service and to live up to being a part of the Four Seasons. I have always found the staff to be polite and nice but my recent visit found them to be in a better mood as well, hopefully a result of the owners parting ways. I have two things that have continued to bother me. 1. The owner and staff need to sit in the hair washing chairs and see what the clients see. The ceiling and vents need a good dusting. This may seem petty but if I'm going to drop this amount of cash and be at a Salon that is part of the Four Seasons, I expect details like this. 2. I noticed on the pricing menu that you can get a haircut and then must pay extra for a blow-dry. This is cheap, un-classy and unprofessional. A blow-dry is included in the price at the Hair Cuttery for goodness sake. I find it difficult to believe that professionals of this level are ok with cutting hair and then having their clients walk out with wet hair that doesn't show the work that they did. If I'm going to pay these prices for a world class service, I expect the complete package, not to be nickel and dimed. My hope is that now that the personal issues are gone the new owner will begin to focus on bringing the Salon back to the reputation the name George at the Four Seasons implies.

WORSE THAN I THOUGHT!! When I wrote my initial review, it was bad enough that my hair was cut shockingly short three inches above my shoulders when it was below my shoulders when I came to the salon for a *trim*. It was bad enough that the person who cut my hair tortured the hair with intense heat and pulling, but I now see that the cut itself is so bad that it is as if someone took scissors and chopped the hair into short uneven pieces. OMG!!! I am going to ask for my money back. It is more than being dissatisfied, this is incompetent work and the salon needs to take responsibility. It will take a year to get my hair back to normal. I just warn you all that this salon survives because of the hotel it is attached to, but I can imagine how many unsuspecting people on vacation go home miserable. There may be some good people there if you can find them, but mine was incompetent. Beware.

I've had great experiences here which I can only say about a rare few salons. I'm not that picky but have difficult, thick, coarse hair and not only do they cut it well but it grows out well. Not to mention the stylists talked me out of expensive color and treatments because they thought it would look bad. Highly recommend the salon and while its at the Four Seasons, I paid significantly more for my prior salon in Old Town that wasn't close to comparable in quality of haircut.

I got a haircut here by Timo I am happy with. I recommend him. I was taken aback by the vibe of the salon: 1. When I called to make my appointment, the man I spoke with on the phone sounded blunt, abrupt, and snobby. Not welcoming. 2. At least two of the clients had brought their dogs in with them. The small-posh dog in a business I do not find appropriate. Clearly that is the clientele they are catering to. 3. While I was being shampoo'd a man came to the woman washing my hair and demanded "you guys need to dust the perm bin". He addressed her rudely, and whatever he was instructing her to do should not have been said over a client with her head in the sink. 4. When I went to check out and pay, there were two men behind the desk. Both were busy texting on their cell phones and I stood and waited to be acknowledged. When the one put his phone down to address me, I saw the Facebook app running on his phone. All in all, Timo was thorough and gave me a nice cut, and the shampoo woman was courteous and did a nice job. Some others there seem to need to step up their professionalism and customer service.

I've waited 3 years to write a review but it's time. Regular for partial highlights and cuts; never have had nails or makeup done here. Best in DC for blondes (highlights). Go to Michelle. I am SUPER picky when it comes to my hair - always blonder, invisible highlights that grow out well and "just a trim." Also love the front desk, who can get you in last minute in emergencies (and at practically any time of day) and will bend over backwards for returning clients. The service is fantastic. Cash tip only unless you're using a Four Seasons gift card.

I have a fantastic experience every time I come here! Rick at the front desk is the best and can usually work his scheduling magic when I pop in for a last minute walk in appointment. My hairdresser here is AMAZING and from what I've seen everyone else is very talented as well. *Disclaimer* I don't color my hair so I can't speak to that personally, but all the (bottle) blondes sitting nearby look great. George is always my go to stop for pre event styling. They offer some of the best (and competitively priced) blowouts in the District. I'd be one very happy girl if I had a job that expensed them every morning. Since I have no desire to be the [fmr] Speaker of the House, I'll have stick to styling my own hair before heading to work for now. Hands down the best salon in DC!

Excellent, excellent, excellent. I had a hair cut with Timo, and it looked AMAZING. The price is fairly high compared to other salons in the area ($110 for a regular cut and blow dry), but it was worth every penny. They are fantastic and very friendly as well!!

The George Salon handled all of my wedding day hair/makeup and did an incredible job. I worked with Rick Raines, Carl Ray (Makeup) and Ismail (Hair). Rick Raines helped me work out the timing for my mom's, my bridesmaids, and my hair/makeup stylings and kept us all on schedule. He made sure we were taken care of the whole time (water, tea, coffee, magazines). He was also great about helping me figure out my hair style through pictures before hand. Carl did my wedding day makeup. He is a beauty magician and I would hire him again in a heartbeat for any occasion. Here's why: 1. Beautiful makeup: I didn't even give him instruction for how I wanted my bridal make up to look, but he made me look amazing and I've never felt so beautiful. It was the perfect blend of glamorous and natural that every girl should be on her big day. I felt that he just discerned my best features and highlighted them for all to see. I got so many compliments on how I looked and on my makeup! 2. Long-lasting makeup: I was amazed that my makeup lasted (without any upkeep!!!) for the whole day and night. I got my makeup done around 12noon. This same look lasted even though I got caught in showers from a hurricane and even though I was dancing like crazy for at least 4 hours. Not to mention: the makeup withstood my frequent tearing-up. 3. Great person. Carl is so nice, kind and reassuring. He's the kind of person that you want to have on your side and that you really don't mind paying money to on your wedding day. Ismail did my hair for my wedding and I would recommend him to anyone. Despite the fact that my hair is terrible (flat, thin, boring), he made me look amazing. I showed Ismail pictures of my targeted style weeks before the wedding. Having met me once, he knew I would need extensions to pull it off, so he ordered those. On the actual wedding day, he looked again at the pictures I brought and did my hair exactly as I wanted--he somehow added body, curl, volume and everything to make my hair reach a level of glamour and sophistication that I didn't think was possible. There were a few times when I questioned Ismail about where he was putting pieces of hair, but he was extremely patient and was willing to redo anything I didn't like at all. I would love to work with Ismail again and cannot thank him enough for making me feel so awesome on my wedding day.

Omer did my hair the day I met my husband and I was hooked. That was 10 years ago and he has done my hair for every major event since then with perfection. Weddings, funerals, baptisms, my birthdays, my children's birthdays, special events. Omer does it with elegance and charm and always makes me feel beautiful. He makes my day and makes me feel like a million bucks every time. I read some bride's bad review below who spent paragraph upon paragraph with dissatisfaction. I could write 10 more paragraphs on how great the place is (and have a few times in the Georgetowner.) I can never stop saying good things about the place because it doesn't get any better in this town. I was sitting at George's the other day surrounded by two very famous people getting their hair done. I had booked at the last minute. I was treated just as kindly. George (the owner) and his band of excellent hairdressers care about everyone and making you look and feel good. RIch or poor, famous or not. I promise. This is not a paid advertisement either. This is a true yelp of sorts to say, if you want to feel and look the most fabulous ever, go to George's. They make you look good from the inside out, especially Omer and everyone who joins him, stylists, nails, shampooers, They are all good. George has based his business on bringing quality to all people, large and small, big and small, famous and not so famous. It's George's trade secret, take good care of everyone. As good as it gets.

Had a fantastic updo at George while staying at the Four Seasons Georgetown. Very friendly staff, reasonable-ish pricing and delivers a great product! Steps from the hotel makes it super convenient!

I've been going to Dimitri for nearly 18 years, and he is a master colorist. While he doesn't hesitate to share his opinions about style and color, he is (almost) always right and does a great job of making me look younger than my many years, in a classy, understated fashion. Will keep going to him as long as I can!

I was in Washington DC for a business trip and needed to get my hair done and found George salon on Yelp made an late appointment with "Jennifer". I travel to DC very often and have tried few other Georgetown salons that did an awful job and charge me a lot right across the street, but this was the first time that I have had such a wonderful and caring hairdresser who did an amazing job on coloring my hair and lighting up my roots. She listen to me and told me what she wanted to do, stayed past her shift to make sure my hair was done. I got so many compliment on the color and blow dry..She has such a good personality that I did not even felt 2 1/2 hours passed by. I could honestly say that it was the first Georgetown salon that i will visit more often when I am in town. Jennifer thank you for making me look so pretty with such reasonable price.

I have been seeing Ibo for ages and can attest to the fact that the man is a genius! I am incredibly picky about my hair, but Ibo knows how to cut, highlight, and blow dry better than anyone in town. He and his staff are incredibly kind and warm and feel like family. The fact that George opens at 7am allows me to get in, get a cut and highlights, and have a blow dry all before my 9am. Amazing! Couldn't ask for a better hairstylist!

It's been 3 years but I gotta say something about this place... Had my makeup done by Carl Ray and he is fantastic!!! He also did my friends and mom's make up and everyone looked stunning!!!!! Will def go back to him for pre-event makeup!!!!!

I really should have written this a long time ago because this salon really deserves it. I was referred to Michelle through a local pageant I was doing. I've gone to so many ppl trying to achieve a perfect rich brunette colour with added highlights to frame my face and every time I've walked out with a brassy reddish hue! I tried my luck and went to Michelle. She talk to me extensively about exactly what I wanted. She even offered to color my extensions and suggested the color of hair to buy (since I'm not an avid extension wearer outside pageant season). The service was always great. I never waited any longer than 10 min or so to be seen. Most of the time there was no wait at all. Candy is always at the front desk! They always offered coffee. Its clean and full of great energy too! Not to mention all of the male stylists are full of complements lol I really enjoyed my time here and I felt comfortable even though my hair texture is much more curly than their usual client. I didn't feel embarrassed as if people were looking at me like why is she here with that type of hair (trust me its happened) I felt like she was completely comfortable working with my hair and knew exactly what to do without me having to direct her (that happens too at other places). Its typically a nightmare where I just want to run out the door. But not here. Everyone was a TRUE stylist and didn't limit their know-how to one type of texture. I would suggest this salon to anyone! I've recently moved to LA and am still looking for someone as good as Michelle. Wish me luck. PS I recently went to a salon in Beverly Hills and they butchered my hair color and even blamed it on my hair texture telling me next time to come in with straight hair... Michelle would have never said that. I wont be going back there.

So my friend and I had just driven across the country and were in dire need of some pampering - me from driving for 1500 miles straight, her from going through 10 states in 4 days and in different climates. The spa at the Four Seasons did the trick. Great service, good locker room with all of the ammenities you would expect from a slightly higher price tag. My massage therapist asked me what scent I liked better, and then was especially attentive to places I didn't even realize were sore until she touched them. My friend had a facial, and is raving about how great her skin feels. Take some extra time at the front end to sit in the steam room. And the spa products in the shower afterwards are yummy smelling. Overall great experience. Oh and valet parking is completely validated!
