PR at Partners Salon, Downtown

Rhonda is the best person on the planet. I had the worst experience at bang salon and I looked like one of the Wesleys from Harry Potter. Rhonda literally performed CPR on my hair and brought it back. I am now living my best blonde highlight life and am proud to say I am no longer a ginger. Thank you so much Rhonda you’re my hair stylist for LIFE! And when I have kids they will have their hair done by Rhonda as well :).

Huey is a chemical genius! Just had the best keratin treatment ever. Not only is my hair straight, but it is amazingly soft - even on the ends!!

I have been going to this salon since 2015. I found Winston on IG and after looking at his work I made an appointment. Since then it has been one amazing experience after another. When I first became a client I only did hair cuts and he gave me gorgeous blow outs. I wanted to do color but I wasn't confident I could pull it off. After some time and Winston being so kind as to answer all my questions I decided to go for it. We start out small with some highlights, as my number one goal has always been to have healthy hair. Now, years later, we have practically done every shade of reds, purples, some pinks, and blond all while maintaining my hair health. I have even seen his former assistants now stylist for services, Marcela and India. I can't recommend Winston and the other stylist in this salon enough. They are talented and truly kind souls.

Hermès here! If you have short hair come see me for a haircut! If you like vibrant colors come see me!

Strap in for this review.
I went in very undecided about what I wanted but knew I wanted a change. Dayna met me with so much patience, understanding and accommodation. To start with, when going to get hair/nail/ beauty services I am always nervous due to being a wheelchair user. Dayna made sure I was accommodated by allowing me to stay seated during the duration of my services, which allowed me to have a very comfortable and relaxing experience. Another thing I was nervous about is the density of my hair, I have thin/balding hair and always feel insecure wearing it down. During my consultation I mentioned that I wanted a dramatic change but I did not want to compromise the integrity of my hair and wanted to find a way to disguise the thinning. I asked so many questions and Dayna answered all of them, she even talked me through each step of what we were doing and why - I am a naturally curious person so I really appreciated her doing this. She always pulled up pictures to give me ideas and visuals, which was super helpful. Anyways, by the end of the consultation she asked me to trust her and I am so glad I did. I felt that she listened to my needs on top of already making me feel comfortable. While my hair was processing we talked about upkeep/maintenance and products, which again she answered my questions and helped me decide what products to get based off my haircare needs but also my daily routine and personal wants. As she started blowdrying I could already tell I was in love with the color, I feel so refreshed and excited about having something new. I feel more confident especially with having a color that allows me to more comfortably wear my hair down. I am so glad we had the opportunity to connect and collaborate. I look forward to exploring my hair journey with her.

The PR Downtown team is THE BEST. Winston has been coloring my hair for five years, and he is not only one of my favorite people, he is an incredible artist -- his consultations are thoughtful and thorough, and his work is second to none. The salon is welcoming, bright and accommodating, and the staff seems to genuinely seem to enjoy working there. There are so many talented folks, too -- Nadine, Marcela, India, Patty, Cat, Huey, Hermes -- and the front desk staff is always helpful. I've gone to tons of salons in DC and this one has the best people by far!

I’ve been a client of Winston’s since 2017. He’s not only a tremendous hair stylist and artist, but also a really amazing human being! Before I found Winston, my hair was in really poor shape. It was overly processed, orangey/yellow, and very dry/brittle. It caused a lot of insecurities for me. Winston and Marcela (another amazing PR at Partners stylist who was his assistant at the time) transformed my hair and that led to a massive increase in my self esteem. When I think about how much confidence I’ve gained over the last several years I very much credit Winston for helping me learn to love myself! Improving my hair truly helped me learn to love myself internally. I also now only have to wash my hair one time per week and it’s saving me money in the long run (even though appt prices can be expensive, I don’t need to go to the salon as often and I don’t go through product very fast!) Winston is also a really amazing mentor to the other stylists. Every time I visit the salon, I am impressed by how genuinely and positively he engages with his coworkers and how much he is constantly helping them learn and grow as stylists. Winston is truly the best of the best and I’m so grateful to have found such an incredible salon and stylist!

I scheduled a haircut with India at the Downtown location recently and am so happy that I did. I found her pleasant to work with and she made sure she understood the look I was going for. She listened well and was very observant. I was having a stressful day, which she picked up on, and helped put me at ease. Ingrid (sp?) washed my hair and gave me a wonderful scalp massage too. While India was cutting my hair, she talked about products, but I didn’t feel like she was pushing them on me. She also gave me tips on how to blow dry my hair as it tends to frizz easily. I really like how my cut turned out and the blowout is holding strong two days later. She gave me exactly what I wanted - thank you, India! I would recommend her if you’re looking for a great cut and an enjoyable salon experience. Kudos to the front desk staff too. The woman who greeted me and I paid was welcoming. The salon had officially closed a half hour earlier by the time I was done, and she maintained her politeness despite it being past closing time.

Marcela has cut my hair twice now, and this second time around, I was unsure about what to do with my hair but she was able to listen to my wants (keeping length but getting rid of split ends) while framing my face. She also styled my hair and gave me tips for my hair type (thick and wavy). Marcela is super nice, too - I highly recommend her! When I decide to color my hair, she is who I’ll go to!

AMAZING experience! Clifford was my hair stylist and I’ve never felt more taken care of. Clifford had such positive energy, gave me exactly what I was looking for and was amazing overall. I felt so looked after. The salon is fantastic. The workers are incredibly friendly and helpful. The shop is very large with bathrooms, free Keurig drinks and different stations. This experience was fantastic and I’m incredibly happy with my results!

Huey is such a talented stylist! Im very particular with my hair- it’s straight but not everyone knows how to give a good cut. Huey gave me gorgeous body and movement, and he was super nice. Will go again!

The stylists at PR downtown are THE best of the best. I have very difficult hair with a very complicated past, and my stylist Winston has gone above and beyond for me time and time again. The care he has put into my hair has been truly amazing and he is very upfront and honest about what is and isn't possible, which is so important. Communication when it comes to these things is crucial and I am ever so grateful that he has taken so much time to listen to me and let me know the best course of action for my hair. He is a master with color and I trust him wholeheartedly both as a stylist and a person generally. I can't say enough good things about him honestly! Aside from that, everyone else at the salon is incredibly welcoming and friendly and they carry some of the best product lines out there. If you find that there is a waitlist for some of the stylists, there is a good reason for it and it is absolutely worth it. I'm so happy I've found this place and I'm always thrilled when I get to visit them.

The stylists I have had at this location of PR at Partners have been incredibly friendly. They always offer tips on how to keep your hair healthy. They keep a wash, cut and style to about one hour. I find this location very convenient, near two major metro stops.

I had the BEST hair experience here. I've always had super long hair, to my waist and recently my hips, but lately my hair has become noticeably thin. It needed to be cut and what I had been doing is get layers to make it appear fuller but finally decided I was gonna get a lob. I was extremely nervous about getting it done but when I saw the reviews for PR and the photos I decided to go here. It was the best decision I have made concerning my hair in years. Maiya did my hair and she is AMAZING! She was easy to talk to and she made sure to advise me on how to style my hair since I had never had it short before. She listened to everything I asked for and had concerns about. The end result is exactly what I wanted and I feel so much more beautiful.

Hughey was my stylist. 💓💓💓💓💓 never had to wait. He was always ready for me when I arrived for my appointment. And it was not an all day "adventure" like other salons I had "encountered". A++ for this salon's professionalism, and customer service. Hughey is THEE BEST! 💞

I've been going to PR for 3 years, and it's such a relief to have found a salon in downtown DC that's not pretentious, reliable, and makes you feel at home. From the front desk staff, to the assistants, to the stylists, I'm always welcomed with a smile. Michael is a master at his craft and knows color! My hair is left looking and feeling amazing every time. Highly recommend!

Was recommended to see Rebecca by a friend and I am beyond thrilled with my hair! I am always nervous when I have a new person do my hair. HOWEVER, Rebecca did an amazing job!!! She was very good at letting me know what exactly she was doing, what products she was using, and she was very friendly. But most importantly, she listened to exactly what I wanted…and she delivered!! I will definitely be going back to her! She is truly amazing!!!

I've gone here a few times and saw different stylists. Each time, they did a great job with easy booking. Not a fan of their color...washes away too soon but the cuts and styling was great every single time. Prices are decent too. Will be back for sure.

I came for a haircut after months. My stylist “My” was absolutely amazing and helped me get out of my usual look with a fresh new style. She was super helpful with tips and very attentive. Had a great experience!

I suspect Jacqui performed a full head transplant while I was preoccupied playing on my phone. There is simply no other rational explanation for how I walked out of PR at Partners feeling like a million bucks. For reference, I walked in feeling like a grungy dollar bill that had been defaced by a toddler (I'm the toddler in this brilliant analogy).

Jacqui and Bre are amazing. I gave very little direction, I just knew I needed a change. The cut is head and shoulders (see what I did there? 🤣) above anything I've ever had and frames my face perfectly. The color compliments my skin tone and works in both professional and fun settings. They even showed me how to blow dry, curl, and what products to use, because, well...again, I'm basically a toddler who would gladly spend my days in a ponytail. I'm beyond excited to have a professional and grown-up head to work with.

Thank you so much to you both!!
