O Salon

The residential neighborhood hair salon at an address like 3212 O Street serves the immediate residential community in a different way from the Wisconsin Avenue commercial salon: the client who walks from the surrounding Georgetown streets to the O Street salon is using the neighborhood resource in the truest sense, as the essential personal care service embedded in the daily life of the residential neighborhood.

The Georgetown residential neighborhood above M Street is characterized by the density of the row houses, the brick sidewalks, and the domestic scale of the commercial services that the neighborhood supports.

The O Salon’s residential neighborhood identity is shaped by the sustained relationships that the neighborhood hair salon builds with the Georgetown residential community over years and decades. The Georgetown resident who has been having their hair cut at O Salon since moving to the neighborhood a decade ago brings a different relationship to the appointment than the client who found the salon through the beauty app recommendation.
