About

Molecule Salon offers hair, nail and waxing services under one roof in the M Street area of Washington, DC. The menu runs from everyday haircuts and blowouts to color work, bond-repair and smoothing treatments, texture services, manicures and pedicures, and waxing for both men and women.

Hair appointments generally begin with a consultation. Stylists ask about hair goals, face shape and lifestyle before cutting and styling, and they recommend a treatment based on each client's hair type and needs. Color specialists take a similar approach, talking through what the client wants before suggesting a color service.

The salon's color menu includes balayage, which is hand-painted highlighting, along with classic highlights, root touch-ups and color correction for hair color mishaps or changes. Treatments include Olaplex, Pro Color, Kevin Murphy, Hair Botox for hydration and smoothing, and a Hair Gloss Treatment that adds shine and depth to tone. The salon says these treatments suit all hair types and textures.

For smoothing and texture, the menu includes a Keratin Treatment, a Brazilian Blowout Treatment for frizz and shine, the Japanese Yuko straightening system and Perm & Waves for custom curls and waves. Hair extensions are also offered, including tape-in extensions made from 100% real human hair.

Nail services cover classic, gel and French manicures and pedicures, plus nail art. Waxing covers arm, leg, Brazilian, lip and chin waxing and eyebrow shaping. The salon states it uses high-quality nail products and the highest-quality waxing products.

Color specialists start by learning each client's hair goals before recommending a color service, and stylists recommend treatments according to hair type and needs.

The salon describes its setting as serene and tranquil.
