Ryan is fantastic! I just moved to DC and was looking for someone who has experience cutting Asian hair. I brought in some photos and explained what I wanted long layers with wispy curtain bangs and he hit it out of the park. As an added bonus, the head massage during the hair wash was super relaxing. He charges $90 for long haircuts, which isn't cheap but it was well worth the price.
I have been a client of Ryan Nguyen since I moved to DC several years ago. I started seeing Ryan for my hair services after several friends highly recommended him. I use his hair cutting and highlighting services regularly, and have never been anything but extremely happy with the results. Ryan really listens to what his clients want, and provides his honest and expert opinion on what will look the best. I love how Ryan cuts and highlights my hair, and he makes it look so natural. I always get compliments on my hair! He also does the highlights in a way that look clean and natural even when my hair grows out. Ryan also styled my hair for my wedding few years ago. He designed and created a beautiful style for me that complimented my dress and accessories perfectly, and my hair style did not fall out or look messy despite many hours of photographs and dancing. Ryan is also great with children’s cuts! He has been cutting my toddler son’s hair for the past year, which is no easy feat! My son’s hair always looks great after his cuts by Ryan. The salon is clean and bright, and the staff members are friendly. It is always a relaxing experience when I go in for an appointment. Ryan is incredibly talented, kind, honest and professional. There is simply no one else I will go to for my hair services, and I give Ryan at CL Beauty Studio my highest recommendation.
Nine years ago, I had the incredible fortune of discovering Ryan, a true maestro when it comes to hair—his expertise is simply unparalleled! I've always had long, dark brunette hair with a slight tendency towards thinness. Although I never ventured into hair coloring until a few years ago, well into my adulthood, Ryan guided me through the process with the utmost care, and I couldn't be happier with the gorgeous highlights and balayages he's crafted for me. Beyond his mastery of color, Ryan is an extraordinary stylist. The cuts and styles he fashions for my hair are nothing short of exquisite—I often find myself wishing I could visit him every single day! Recently, I returned to Ryan after a year of living elsewhere and, regrettably, letting someone else wreak havoc on my hair. Upon my return to DC, Ryan performed a remarkable color correction, and the transformation was nothing short of miraculous. He rescued me from hair disaster and transformed me into a hair model I was so ecstatic that I forgot to take a photo! In addition to his hair wizardry, Ryan is a genuinely kind and wonderful human being. I wholeheartedly recommend paying him a visit—you won't soon forget the experience!
I started going to Ryan when I moved from NYC to DC, and he is the best stylist I’ve ever had. I’ve tried different colors and lengths and I love my hair every time! He listens carefully to what I’m looking for and has a great eye for what looks good on me. He’s also very friendly and kind. He opened his own salon recently and everyone there was so cheerful. The entire experience is relaxing and a real treat.
I know I can always depend on walking out of Ryan’s salon feeling and looking my best! Ryan is a good listener and genuinely interested in what his clients wants. Ryan has been keeping my hair looking amazing for almost 20 years and was my wedding’s stylist. I am looking forward to many more creative makeovers and transformations to come. Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do!
I was so nervous to get my hair cut and colored after having not gone for 2.5 years. Ryan did an AMAZING job with both the cut and color and I feel better about my hair than I have in years. I look forward to continuing to come to Ryan!
Ive been going to Ryan for my hair cut/color for the past several years and just visited his new location here the other day. If you are taking the metro, it is about a 10 minute walk from Dupont Circle Station. The salon is spacious and clean. Ryan always provides amazing hair service - my hair always feels refreshed and looks great after! I have thick Asian hair so it can be a handful to manage after months but he always makes it feel light but voluminous again! I highly recommend you check this place out for any of your hair needs!
Having just moved here I was worried about finding a new stylist I could trust, but Ryan was great! Already scheduled my second appt.
I absolutely love going to see Ryan. He is so kind and is a true master at what he does. I’ve been letting my hair grow out, and he has been helping me maintain and giving tips on how to style. I’ve been seeing Ryan for years now, so growing my hair out is a new adventure. I cannot see myself going anywhere else.ServicesHaircut, Hairstyling
Eli is simply amazing. She makes my hair healthy and smooth with conditioning treatments, she is creative and careful with color, and her updos and braids are classic and beautiful. She hasn’t cut my hair in awhile because we have been growing it out but she once did an asymmetrical Bob that was stunning. I could not be happier that she is my stylist.
