Sushada of Shears Hair Salon

"Sushada is the best and truly understands what works best for your hair type, whether it's color, cut, shape, or treatment. Not only is she incredibly talented, she is SO sweet and makes you feel comfortable and confident. She is also generally one of the coolest people I know and always makes me feel like I am in good hands. I've never been dedicated to a hair stylist before, but Sushada changed that for me. I wish I had found her sooner in life so she could have saved me from some hair disasters! The best is that Sushada takes such time and care in her work, and always makes sure you leave her salon looking your best. I would recommend Sushada to ANYONE looking for a trim/cut/color/style or anything in between in DC."

"Sushada?!?? IS MY NEW GIRL! She is a MASTER of her craft!! She is full of knowledge and experience and felt I was in SUCH good hands. She spent so much time cutting and layering my hair in all different directions, and SO efficiently. It was very reassuring that she knew what my vision was. I showed her inspo pics and she asked questions. Instead of putting a haircut on my head like a lego hair piece she customized it to my face and made it my own tailored cut. Her confidence in what I was saying made me feel very trusting of her. I will be seeing Shushada FOR THE NEXT FORESEEABLE FUTURE. QUEEEEEENN This is my second haircut in DC. In the past, I have had unfortunate luck at hair salons with stylists not understanding what I truly want, miscommunications, or lack of understanding my hair type. I have very fine hair and tons of it so I’m always trying to obtain volume and ask for very layered hair. I DIY my haircut a few weeks ago (because I was so discouraged from my last experience) and it needed correcting BAD. I did a quick google search and found Sushada. Her client photos are what made me make my appointment. I feel most stylist showcase more of their hair coloring and not as much as the hair cut itself, but Shushada had client photos with similar attributes to what I was trying to achieve. 15/10!"

"Sushada is an artist!!! She was so thoughtful and creative about how to help me grow out my hair after chemotherapy. She turned a grown out mess into an absolute work of art of a French bob. She’s so kind and is a joy to spend time with! Can’t wait to go back."

"Sushada gave me a beautiful and thoughtful haircut. She asks questions and takes the time to make sure everything is level, there are no split ends and the style suits your face. It's been almost a month and my hair is growing out so well, maintaining the style she made."

"Sushada is the best! I have seen her every time I was in DC since 2017 and have loved every haircut she’s ever given me. It is particularly important to me that my haircuts grow out well and suit my round face shape. She has always been outstandingly meticulous and creative to adapt the pictures I show her to my face as well as to ensure that the hairstyles stay stunning when longer. Thanks so much for all the great cuts over the years, Sushada! 1000% recommend her to anyone."
