Best haircut I've had in DC (seriously). I love my hair, but had not been able to find a stylist I like in the city so I thought, let's give TSPA a shot. I'm so glad that I did! I was seen by Suzette who totally nailed what I wanted (several inches off, new layers, and clean up the curtain bangs). She not only gave me a killer cut but also gave me the most relaxing head rinse I've ever had. Major bonus points for this school because the instructors are master stylists (w/ their own salons) and soften up any areas if needed. Price is unbeatable, 1/4 the cost of my usual cuts, and the salon itself is spacious and clean. I'll be back for future hair cuts and a facial!
