She is incredible! She spent four hours on my hair to get me exactly what I wanted, and after toning, I still wanted it a little bit lighter and she fixed it immediately! She is so much fun to talk with and genuinely is someone I trust with my hair :) She explained every product that was being used and gave me tips specifically for my thick+porous hair, definitely recommend!!...more

Monica never misses! She is so talented, knowledgeable and really takes the time to listen. From the quality of her work to how comfortable she makes you feel, everything is top tier. I trust her completely with my hair and I always leave loving the results. Monica also did my wedding updo which turned out so perfectly! I highly recommend her if I could give 100 stars I would. I always told Monica if she ever relocated I would literally fly across the country JUST to get my hair done! Hands down the best in the business!!...more

★★★★★

Monica has been my stylist for several years now, and for good reason. I originally came to her by chance as a walk-in needing a rescue for my thinning, greying hair, and she performed a miracle. She gave me a cut that added volume and life back into my hair, along with beautiful color.

​Since then, she has worked with me through many different lengths, cuts, and colors. I lean toward traditional and low-maintenance styles suitable for my career and life, and Monica always ensures my hair is current and polished.

​She is a true expert colorist—I have seen other stylists consult her for advice. She is constantly sharing her advanced knowledge to educate her colleagues.

Monica is also personable, professional and honest. I haven't trusted anyone else with my hair since that first day. Highly recommend!

Monica is hands down the best hairdresser in DC. I’ve been her client since 2016, and despite living overseas, I still make it a priority to see her whenever I’m back.

★★★★★

Monica is incredibly skilled. I came in with a clear idea of what I wanted and a bunch of reference photos—some of which definitely contradicted each other—and somehow she still delivered a haircut that exceeded my expectations. The cut has grown out unbelievably well and looks chic at every stage.

It started as a cute, choppy Parisian bang and has gradually evolved into soft, graceful curtain bangs—without ever crossing into the dreaded 70s soap opera look (which has always been my fear with curtain bangs). My hair feels light, has beautiful movement, and is extremely easy to take care of.

Monica was refreshingly honest that I’d need to blow-dry my bangs at first, but aside from that, maintenance has been minimal—and as the bangs grow, even that becomes less necessary. She’s clearly very knowledgeable and shared great tips and hacks for keeping my bangs exactly how I want them and for preventing my hair from getting greasy too quickly.

If you want a haircut that not only looks amazing when you leave the salon but also grows out effortlessly, Monica is the one.

I am so grateful to have found Monica! I first met her at Drybar, and she did such an incredible job on my hair that I immediately knew I’d found someone special. As an African-American woman with thick, curly hair, I’ll admit I was a little skeptical at first, but Monica exceeded every expectation.

She took such good care of my hair, used high-quality products from brands I already love, and was completely open to using the products I brought with me. As I’ve continued to see her, she’s been consistently attentive to what my hair needs from moisture retention to special treatments and she truly understands how to care for and style textured hair.

Her openness, professionalism, and genuine receptiveness to how I prefer my hair to be cared for is something I’ve been searching for in this area for a very long time. I honestly can’t say enough about her talent and her heart for her clients.

She has opened up my selection on colors that compliment my complexion. Her personality is contagious, refreshing and she gives the "feels" of your sandbox/childhood friend. Monica always accommodate my appointment requests. She deserves her title of Best of DC. Thank you, Monica, for being you! You have acquired a dedicated customer....more

Monica has been my stylist for more than two years and she is truly the best. She does it all for me, from blowouts to cuts and color, and every time I leave her chair I feel like the best version of myself. What I love most is that she does not just focus on making my hair look good in the moment, she also prioritizes keeping it healthy long term. With every color service she is thoughtful about protecting the integrity of my hair while still delivering beautiful results.

On top of her talent, Monica is honest and fair in a way that is rare to find. I came from a stylist who raised prices again and again, and it felt discouraging. Monica is transparent, ethical, and always communicates costs ahead of time. She provides luxury-level work that is still affordable, which is such a gift for a single working mom like me.

If you are looking for a stylist who combines incredible skill with genuine care for both her clients and their hair, Monica is the one. I trust her completely and recommend her wholeheartedly.
