They have taken care of the heads of heads of state, sports figures, celebrities and VIPs (we’re talking Nancy Pelosi, Sandra Bullock, Charlize Theron, Maria Shriver, Ryan Zimmerman and more) and perhaps made DC aesthetically more pleasing …. we’re not talking about psychiatrists or related head shrinkage …. we’re talking George Salon located at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown.
The iconic salon celebrated a $100,000 renovation and relaunch with a party in the hotel’s courtyard this past Sunday. New owners are uberstylists Ismail Tekin and Omer Cevirme, who have redesigned the space to be an open, elegantly comfortable, state-of-the-art beauty mecca featuring everything from spa treatments to, of course, hair perfection. The salon’s namesake, George Ozturk, will remain with the salon as a stylist.

Guests included the who’s who of DC from ambassadors to socialites who supped on hors d’oeuvres and sipped champagne from Bourbon Steak while models with fashion forward coifs including locks fashioned into a top-of-head bow, strolled among the crowd. Make up applied by special guest artist addition, Michelle Obama’s make up artist, Carl Ray.

We doff our wigs to you, George Salon. After all, where else can one get their coifs fashioned to perfection as early as 7 a.m.? No more frizzies, cowlicks or split ends. There’s a brand new, restyled sheriff in town.
