Avatar Salon and Wellness Spa

I am an avid fan of Avatar Salon & Wellness Spa and I was a study customer until the pandemic hit. After a two year absence I came back and the same welcoming and professional staff was still there. My favorite technician is Lynn and she does a fantastic job on my feet and hand nails every time. I think it’s the best nail shop in the DMV!

Fantastic cut and it was a pleasure to meet you, Bruce. Thanks for making my hair look fabulous! Next time I am back in the DC area, I will get my hair pampered again!

Always love getting my hair done at Avatar I’m a curly girl who occasionally gets a blow out and they can do it all so well!

I had a very pleasant experience with Sharice. She treated my hair so well. A bit pricy but definitely worth the money when you want your hair taken care if. Every one was really nice and welcoming. Great vibes.

Zero stars. Bruce is completely unprofessional. He butchered my hair. I came in to donate my hair and then have a nice trim. On the way to what I thought was going to be my chair, he stopped me halfway in front of a mirror and was brushing my hair. I was explaining to him that we should do two ponytails to donate my hair since I have thick hair. He was not listening at all and just started chopping my hair while I was standing without a cape. I told him to stop and asked him what he was doing. He said he was halfway and needed to finish cutting. Needless to say he butchered the second half even worse than the first half. The second half had a mullet and just uneven patches, jagged edges. I’ve donated hair before but normally I’m sitting down and a ponytail is placed to keep the hair in place. I was in state of shock!!! He cut about 16 inches of hair and tried to justify saying that a donation required 6 inches of hair!!! I am completely heartbroken. I went from having waist-long hair to having a pixie cut! I’ve been going through one of the hardest weeks of my life and I thought getting a haircut would help. Needless to say I left the salon in a panic more traumatized than I came in. Avoid this place at all costs!!

I enjoy getting my hair done at Avatar, the stylists are very professional and do an excellent job each time. I always leave the salon feeling pampered and happy with my do! Shout out to Cassandra and Imma! Also Bruce is very nice and accommodating. I look forward to having a massage there as well!

5-star salon. Very welcoming and conveniently located to public transportation and dining options. Bruce Johnson, black business owner, always gives a precise haircut. I have natural hair and requested to cut off at least 6 inches of hair for a feminine close cut. Bruce performed this task entirely with his shears. Clippers were only used for the shape up. Now that's how you cut hair! Everyone loves my new look. He is about his craft in a friendly and efficient manner. Vicky - you must visit with her. Her waxing and nail services are the best. She explains her process and products while providing a thorough, sanitary, and exceptional experience. I'm looking forward to trying her massage services. Every time I arrive for my appointment, I have a wait time of less than 5 minutes. Staff is friendly and efficient. Great atmosphere and customer service in a welcoming, environment.

I just got my hair done on 12/19; relaxer touch up, semi-permanent color, pixie hair cut and style. COVID-19 measures are in place and consistently followed. Bruce and his team provide exceptional service and are just cool people who are fun to be around. Salon Avatar is like family. I love this place.Service: Hairstyling
