Studio Chique, Washington DC

I visited studio chique a few weeks ago to color my natural curly hair. I was nervous because I dyed my hair once before years ago and the salon that did it literally fried my hair. Ngina however, knows what she is doing she is truly a master of her craft. Not only did she color my hair beautifully but she did it without compromising the integrity of my hair. My hair still feels good and curls are still tight. The fact that I have worn my hair out in its natural curly state everyday since, which I hadn't been been doing as much before is a testament to how good Ngina did on my hair. It's a very special thing when a stylist can empower you to feel beautiful and confident in your own style.

Honestly all the reviews about the professionalism of this salon are spot on! I randomly found them on Yelp saw the good reviews and figured I'd give them a try. I booked a "chique" press, trim and treatment and whew 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND. My hair has never looked so healthy.

Every styling experience is phenomenal. I walk out of the salon looking and feeling like a million bucks every.single.time!

Studio Chique is undoubtedly one of the best hair salons in DC, and they offer many other beauty-related services too (eg.waxing, massages, facials, body toning, hair loss solutions, etc.). Since my first visit a few years ago, I have always been impressed and captivated by the employees' talent, professionalism, efficiency, & cleanliness. Each time I visit here, my hair comes out great. I typically get the silk press, which keeps the hair gorgeous for several weeks. After receiving exceptional care at this place, my hair has become healthier. I also love that I do not have to wait for an extensive period time to receive assistance, unlike other places. You're basically in-and-out. The staff do a terrific job following appointment schedules, and they are all respectful and kind. I absolutely adore this beauty parlor. In fact, I have recommended it to some of my friends. It's on the pricey side, but I give it 5 stars all the way. A+! Please check this place out. I promise that you will not be disappointed.

Staff is friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is Posh, Fly and Dope. Marsha Marsha MARSHA, The Message Is Amazing Her Sevice is Friendly funny and professional. I love her attention to detail and her knowledge of all the services the spa had to offer which is Alot! Will be back soon if you been thinking about it Do it and do it here! Uber or metro tho parking is A hassle they are right off the 70 bus line!

I was referred to Studio Chique by a friend who had been going for a really long time. Let me start by saying I find it difficult to find a black hair salon that is professional, transparent and knows how to care for all types of hair. I didn’t hesitate to make my appointment because my friend’s hair always looked so bomb. My first visit there was amazing. I made an early appointment and was not disappointed by anything. The ambiance is so soothing and almost feels like home. Ms. Ngina was my stylist and she was great. I left the salon feeling so refreshed and satisfied not to mention my silk press last for more than 3 weeks. My curls were not damaged after washing and I’m so grateful for this salon. My second experience with them was the exact same.

Negative environment. Immediately uncomfortable. Over rated and over priced. Paid almost $200 for a rinse, trim and silk press. Hair dresser was very lazy. Went to another salon the next day. Just bad energy. She wasn't passionate about hair at all. Highly disappointed. The previous good reviews are misleading.

I stumbled on this gem when my regular shop couldn’t fit me in. The salon is gorgeous and comfortable in every way. Clara is my stylist and she’s absolutely lovely and talented. If you need free parking walk the two blocks from either direction down one of the streets. This salon is a must ️

Definitely recommend this salon to everyone! Salon was friendly & clean; my stylist was attentive, quick, and clearly very experienced. Only thing I didn’t love was my stylist was ready to conclude the appt w/o putting any product in my hair, which I found odd. But when I asked for product she worked with me to find the right one and I left the salon pleased with my look. And y’all- SC is female and minority owned! Spend your dollars where it counts!

Style info: I have 2B fine waves; I cut off about 6” to create a super layered look

If I could give them 100 stars I would from the moment I walked in the staff makes you feel welcomed! This was my very first visit to he salon after researching and agonizing over the cut and the current situation you have to be more than careful Aloni was early actually! She took a few minutes to chat about my hair and she went right to it! She took her time and explained what she was doing.even the shampoo was amazing I got some kind of treatment with my service. The salon is super clean and sanitized they clean the entire time and everyone including clients must wear a mask sign a covid release and clean your hands! I haven’t been to a salon in decades I have found my new hair home lol #natural

I want to thank Studio Chique for their exemplary customer service. After Sunday's snafu, the owner reached out to me the same day acknowledging the scheduling mishap and rescheduled me for a new appointment. Their Pretty V Brazilian and Facial will be my new go-to. I appreciated Tyra's gentle demeanor and attention to detail. She made the experience very comfortable and I loved our conversation together. While the salon owner offered to cover the service free of charge, I was too happy to pay - Tyra made it worth it!

Can't wait to return in 6 weeks!

I had my first visit back to Studio Chique today and it was amazing. My hair looks and feels healthy after 2.5 months of disregard. Thanks to Ngina's blow dry my natural roots look relaxed. Experienced the same great staff and service. Thanks for re-opening!

Wow, first day back with an early morning micro link (Metowi Method) appointment. First, let me say this salon has implemented a very detailed health and sanitation policy and process with excellent customer service! They provide masks, they require each customer to sign a waiver, they clean and sanitize all chairs after each client, the water is filtered for the shampoo bowls, they have disposable styling capes for each client, they even have contactless hand dryers in the restrooms. Oh did I mention the ambiance and decor is 5 star and all the stylists are great stylists! The owner, Gina has created a safe environment for the clients and an exceptional experience! I highly recommend this salon plus they service you immediately with no wait time!

I absolutely LOVE Studio Chique! I just had my hair silk pressed and trimmed after 3 months of quarantine. My hair was in distress, and now I can say I’m just simply blessed that I was able to get in! They have all sorts of provisions in place to ensure safety while being pampered!

Ladies WHAT are you waiting on? I’d suggest you book b/c I’m booking up appointments faster than Donald Trump’s twitter fingers!

Omg I can’t get enough of this salon, I’ve had the best pixie of my life done here, thanks to Ngina! It’s a super cute salon, that’s very cozy, and welcoming for all. She does a great job, is very detailed and takes her time on each client. I love coming to Studio Chique, and i’m happy to call it home. I can’t wait to get a facial in the near future!

I didn’t see many reviews about the Deva Cut so I am leaving a great review about my experience with Ngina. She did a great job shaping me up. I have very thick, coarse afro texture hair and she knew exactly how to tackle my mane. My hair feels really great and super healthy and I am in love with my new cut. I didn’t get a style but they do have plenty of stylists that provide a variety of services to which they were all doing amazingly. Very professional, everyone is super nice and I highly highly recommend them. The service there is top notch and I was in an out with no wait time at all. Oh and the price of my cut was awesome compared to most cuts. The last cut I had was over 100 dollars and in my opinion she did a better job and her prices were lower. Thanks ladies!

This review is long overdue but here goes! My past several experiences at Studio Chique have been nothing short of excellent. I have natural, tightly coiled and kinky hair. I have had my hair silk pressed and flexi-rodded at this salon on different occasions. From start to finish the process for both services was seamless. The reviews I'm seeing about heat damage are unfortunate but truly not a part of my experience. My hair still most definitely maintains my curl pattern and because I decided to invest in the health of my hair by taking up the salon's offer of a luxury Protein/Hydration treatment (something I get each time I have heat applied to my hair at this salon), my hair has flourished and even increased in length (seriously!). I will admit that I take the health of my hair seriously so I know it is strong enough to take heat and physical manipulation before I go to the salon. It still stands though that Studio Chique takes pride in the health of the hair of their clients and feels it their responsibility to educate their clients on hair health whenever possible. I hope the other reviews don't dissuade you from stopping by!

I went in for a Keratin Express Treatment & I asked the stylist questions about the treatment because I normally receive the Peter Coppola Keratin Complex System back home in Louisiana. However, I am no stranger to receiving a keratin treatment. I THOUGHT the stylist was really professional & sweet. Everyone seemed very nice until I was up charged/scammed for a service I didn’t receive, which was a silk press. A silk press & a keratin treatment are two separate services. A keratin treatment includes straightening the hair to activate the product/chemical used in the treatment. A silk press is usually a deep condition and/or some form of hydration treatment followed by flat ironing the hair. I only received services for keratin treatment & a basic haircut but was charged for a silk press as well. I am really disappointed because yes I am from out of town but I am NOT green nor am ignorant to black hair care. I did not dispute the charge with the receptionist because I did not want to cause a scene in the salon, but unfortunately she has lost a future client due to the shady treatment. & I will definitely dispute the charge with my bank! Just do the right thing & stop thinking you’re getting over on ppl because you’re only playing yourself. Could’ve had more clients from my place of employment, but I will definitely tell my coworkers who were looking forward to booking an appointment about this experience. Next time I’ll just fly home to New Orleans! SAD & hella disrespectful!

I visited Ngina yesterday for a molded style an her work with my hair makes me feel so gorgeous! The ambience of the upper level is amazing. She offered me a glass of wine to have while I sat under the dryer. The punctuality of the salon is great as well. My appointment was for 1pm. I planned on getting there early and arrived at 12: 10pm with anticipation of being in there for 3+ hours. I waited 10 minutes before someone started with my wash, and I was out and done a little after 2pm! The salon values your time and doesn’t have you waiting forever. I recommend that everyone on different hair journeys and phases to visit Ngina and Studio Chique!

Best ever salon experience for me! Firstly, the electronic appointment system was fast and efficient. When I arrived Alexis quickly communicated my service request to Nia, the stylist. The owner and everyone were very warm and welcoming. From short finger waved to long natural hair, I have never seen so many beautiful heads of healthy hair!

I have fine strands of natural 4b hair. When I met with Nia she was like the perfect hair doctor. She knew exactly what my hair needed. I came in with an itchy scalp, dry, dull hair. Alexis alliveiated the itch during my shampoo. I left Nia's chair happy in record time with hydrated, actually shiny, bouncy hair with lots of body! The best part of my experience was that it did not take a full work day to get my hair done; my time was valued, the prices were reasonable, and it was a quality, professional experience created by a highly talented team in a pleasant environment. You will enjoy every stage of your hair journey here because the staff know hair care and styling. Plus they propose hair solutions that work for you.
