I've been searching for a stylist that's familiar with natural hair and help to get my hair back to healthy state. I heard of this salon on the news. Thought I'd give it a try. 30 days later I'm still here!
Michael Sean is fabulous! He very knowledgeable and gives me good advice on how to care for my hair.

As Miss District of Columbia's Outstanding Teen 2016 I would strongly recommend coming here! I love Corps d'Elite! Its a great place to go for both hair styling and makeup. The stylist Shun, is absolutely amazing. She is very gentle when doing my hair & knows how to deal with natrual hair! This is definitely a high quality salon. The environment is also very welcoming and fun.

Corps d'Elite, in one word, is amazing! LaShun, the owner, is professional, reliable and trusted by many. She is very knowledgeable about maintaining healthy hair and has years of experience to prove it. I met her years before she owned the salon. We talked a lot about hair care. Then she did my hair. It was gorgeous! I was so happy for her when she opened her salon. It proved that no matter what your dreams are, if you tell the truth to people about something as important to them as their hair, then you can build those relationships that will make you a success. LaShun has done just that. Corps

It's so nice to finally find a quality hair salon in D.C. As a southern gal from Arkansas, I truly value the quality of products and professional haircare that Corp d'elite provides. Shun has traveled all over the world studying the latest haircare techniques for women of all different shades. Most importantly she's always on time, never overbooks, and takes her time with every customer.
Here's a preview of my first visit in February '17
(Tidbit of background: I've been wearing weave and braids for more than 5 years, with barely any other refresher styling in between, needless to say my hair

When I first walked in Corps d'Elite I was immediately put at ease and felt welcomed by the owner Lashun she was warm and professional. I must admit I am not too knowledgeable when it comes to applying the right amount of makeup , she worked with me and gave me good tips. Overall the I had a very good experience , I felt beautiful and confident after she was done with me. I would highly recommend this place to every woman wanting to be taken care of the right way.

Corps d'Elite claims to be a high-end salon, but it is a slightly-above-average salon with exorbitant prices.
The stylist, Shun, did a relatively nice job of washing, drying, flat ironing, and trimming my hair. Her colleagues were friendly, the music was good, and she served me a cup of green tea. Therefore, I will give her 1 star for this review.
Unfortunately, Shun fails in many other areas of professional styling. She arrived 15 minutes late for my appointment. She took too long to style my hair, because she was busy making recommendations (upselling) additional services. Thus, I was 30 minutes

Went to Corps d'Elite before heading out on U Street for the night. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a friendly staff member. I had my laptop in my backpack and was able to knock out some work while waiting for the cut. Shun did a great job with the cut and color. She was also able to advise me on the best products for my hair type and showed me how to style it daily. Overall a great experience from a team that really knows hair!

Your experience from start to finish is amazing and what so many salons lack these days. The customer service, professionalism and passion for hair stands above the rest. From the time I walked in I was greeted with a bright smile and felt like I had escaped from reality for a few hours. I am in a transition with my hair and the owner/stylist Lashun was very informative and receptive to what I was looking for. The Mimosas were great too!!!
