Epiphany Salon & Spa

Tika, Ronya, and the Ephiphany Salon & Spa staff on 15^th & U St NW are fabulous! I’ve been a client for 21 years! During this time frame, as other Unilocal reviewers noted, my hair has been fab and the rave of anywhere I went. I mean stopped in the streets asked of my hair who did it etc worldwide! I’ve been there with many clients who are long term clients to 15 minute walk ins and never once did one leave unhappy. Tika & Ronya always gave the right frank advice with health and concern for hair. The staff is courteous and advises EVERY client as to a consultation and a fee of $ 35 before setting the appointment. She even advises long term clients who have been gone over a year to have a consultation upon their return. I was one of them after I came back to DC after my move to Atlanta. All members of staff past and present has done so. I am shocked as to CB’s accusations of Tika owner her staff and the salon.
To C.B.
It’s unfortunate you use one experience out of your year as a client to write a very nasty false review. As a client who was going over a year to the salon, you enjoyed your services and even raved about your hair and experience in the salon. You even spoke about how you enjoyed everything often. There was excellent customer service, healthy hair care advice, and care and concern for your hair. If you ever had any questions or concerns, Tika answered them. I bear witness to the these things I write. You had a weave before and luv’d it hence you getting another. You are wrong to post this bullshit on Unilocal about a salon and top Stylist whose been in business for over 20 years with 30 years of experience knowledge and licensing/​certifications. It amazes me as a client who came for services for over a year how you will state you will never go back when I jus saw you there getting your hair done about what 2 or 3 weeks ago. You are really a conniving individual to write this nasty false review to sabotage some1’s business that mind you you enjoyed for a year and continues to enjoy. You are wrong and it would serve you right if you were hit with a slander suit for all your lies and false information u told to Unilocal,but you know what Ephiphany Salon & Spa is better than that! They’ll just work harder to satisfy their customers and CONTINUE to gain customers for YEARS to come.
PS it’s funny you disliked the services and not only stayed as a client for years, but also referred your friend as you wrote. Funny, your friend hasn’t posted this experience as a review here. There is only 1 bad review of the many 5 star reviews. Not 1 but yours is negative! Hmmm makes you think…
To end gurl bye stop letting them unlicensed untrained kitchen beauticians tell you about your hair. They WILL make you have no edges and not care about the health of your hair AND be more focused on the $$$$$ you spent. Try Again… Bet’ not see u no more in that shop Imma take a pic & post it here to expose your lies. You not coming back is your lose and a gain for Ephiphany. Less hassle and more room for a newbie.

I have been a client at this salon for a year and would never step another foot in the door or the stylist chair, not even for free! Tika installed a sew in for me on two different appointments and my second sew in was very painful and uncomfortable. I made the mistake of calling back a week later to complain, but wasn’t able to go in due to an already planned trip. The first night of my sew in, I could not sleep because the net was sewn too tightly. The second night, I took a Tylenol for relief. I removed the extensions while out of town and returned to Epiphany after my return home for a shampoo. My edges were CLEARLY missing near my right temple and she said they were fine. The stylist did not offer an apology or even acknowledge her mistake. Instead, she belittled me, questioned my character and even criticized my hair in which she had been styling every other week for the last year. During the summer months, she installed a sew in for a close friend I referred and the sew in lasted for less than 24 hours. My friend selected the wrong hair and Tika never once told her not to use the hair. She didn’t even offer to refund her after my friend called back to tell her she was able to remove the extensions within 10 minutes. Not only did she not offer an apology, she also lied and told me my friend was advised to come in for a consultation. My friend was never advised not to use the hair nor was she asked to come in for a consultation. Apparently, she was more concerned with making $ 250 and not giving her expert guidance.
During my phone call to her before I returned to the salon, she showed a little sympathy and was willing to work with me by giving me a credit for the weave in which I was only able to wear for one week. She appeared bothered by the fact that my hair wasn’t all broken off when I returned to the salon and maybe she needed that as proof of my hair being too tight. I have a bald place along my edges as proof and my word should be sufficient as a regular client. She also refused to view the pictures of my hair line as proof. I would expect for a professional business owner to behave in a better manner, but my expectations were too high. A simple apology goes a long way, but a negative attack on a customer is never a positive or acceptable.

Warm staff, Tika’s great, prices are reasonable. Glad it’s on U Street!

Decided to try out Epiphany based on the rave Unilocal reviews I read and man was I glad I did! Tika had me walking out of the salon looking fabulous!!! I got a wash and set and throughout the whole process she let me know what she was doing and how it would help my hair. Definitely will be coming back and feel as though I’ve found a new hair home in DC. :)

The best stylist I’ve had in the DMV! I’ve went from relaxer to natural with healthy hair and she always has a style option!

OmG! Tika made me look so amazing on my wedding day. I have never had a weave before and was sort of nervous but when it was done I seriously couldn’t believe it. My hair was «identical» to a celeb photo of Sanaa Lathan… but looked AMAZING on me. She is a true artist of her craft! And a sweetie to boot. And the shampoo girl cleaned and combed my nappies to perfection… after over a year of braids. I «(_​_​_​_​place expletive here_​_​_​_​)» Love Epiphany Salon.

I have been searching for 2 years for a hairstylist, from DC to NYC. I have finally found Tika and she has been the answer to my prayers. She is perfect because she listens to what you want and tells you the healthest options you have for achieving that style. If you don’t need a product or perm, she will not offer it to you. She is not a salesperson, she is a true advocate for healthy hair. She can hook you up if you want a purely natural style, chemically relaxed, or healthy combination of both. I am using the Wave by Design products that give me a cute carefree look and I have reclaimed my weekends back from the Dominican hothouses.
She does not overbook and I can make plans on the same day I get my hair done. Her prices are more than reasonable for the quality of products, her skills as a stylist, and the location. I live in DC and not interested in travelling to MD in search of a deal. She is busy so if you want her advice, book a consultation or a shampoo. You will not be disappointed.

Oh how I love how Tika works her magic on my nappy naps! She uses high quality, natural products and cuts and colors like no other. On several occasions I have specifically flown to DC for her to color and cut my hair. The Dominicans in Miami fry and pull and break my hair and Tika restores the glory at Epiphany. I highly recommend her services.
