Color Lab Salon by TSR

Tell me why our stylists are the most iconic team in DC without telling me.

Years of talent, heart, and skill under one roof. We're not just a salon — we're a crew. Goldwell and Redken certified, award-winning, and genuinely obsessed with what we do. Come meet us at 1607 Connecticut Ave NW, right across from the Dupont Circle Metro.

This is what years of mastering color looks like. Our Redken-certified stylists don't just do hair — they create transformations that hit different. Book your moment at the link in bio or walk right in at 1607 Connecticut Ave NW, right across from Dupont Circle Metro.

This is what happens when color is done right. ✨

Seamless dimension, sun-kissed warmth, and movement that looks like it belongs there. Our Redken Color Certified and American Board Certified colorists don't just apply color, they engineer it for your hair, your skin tone, and your life.

Whether you're dreaming of balayage, bold highlights, or a full transformation, Color Lab is where it happens. Right here in Dupont Circle, steps from the Metro.

Going to the hair salon as a trans or non-binary person shouldn't feel scary.
But for a lot of people — it does.
Wrong pronouns. Weird looks. Being asked what you "really" want based on how someone reads you. It's exhausting.
At Color Lab, we've always been DC's LGBTQ+ place to be. We were pioneers before it was popular.
We have trans people on our team. We listen to you, not assumptions about you.
You deserve to sit in that chair and just... enjoy getting your hair done as does anyone.
Come as you are. 🏳️‍⚧️✂️

Every transformation starts with a vision—and this one is all about healthy-looking shine, seamless color, and customized placement to enhance natural beauty.

At Color Lab by TSR, we believe every guest deserves hair that makes them feel confident the moment they leave the chair.
