Salon Upstairs

Salon Upstairs at 1620 Wisconsin Avenue NW is a boutique hair salon in the mid-Georgetown commercial district, whose name literally announces its position above the street-level commercial activity of the Wisconsin Avenue commercial strip. The upstairs salon position, which removes the appointment from the ambient commercial environment of the street below, provides the intimate setting that the personal hair service appointment benefits from: the Georgetown client who climbs the stairs to Salon Upstairs is arriving at a dedicated hair appointment environment rather than the walk-in commercial hair service.

The boutique salon identity at Salon Upstairs reflects the specific experience that the Georgetown client who prefers the boutique format values: the small studio with fewer chairs, the focused individual attention, and the personal relationship with the stylist that the boutique model enables. The contrast with the large commercial salon, in which the client moves through the stages of the appointment among many other clients and multiple staff members, is significant for the Georgetown professional who values the consistency of the single stylist relationship.

The Wisconsin Avenue mid-commercial location at 1620, between the main M Street commercial intersection and the upper Georgetown boutique and gallery block, is in the accessible commercial section that the Georgetown residential community uses for the regular personal service. The second-floor position provides the boutique salon with the appropriate physical separation from the commercial street activity below.
