Today marks an exciting new chapter at Color Lab by TSR.

I am proud to share that I am now the sole owner of Color Lab. What began as a vision has grown into one of Dupont Circle’s premier destinations for exceptional hair, and I am honored to continue leading the salon into its next phase.

I want to thank Sandy and Rick for their years of dedication and for helping build the foundation of what Color Lab is today. Sandy will continue to be part of the Color Lab family, working a few days each month to care for his longtime clients.

Our commitment remains the same—to provide exceptional hair, a welcoming and inclusive environment, and opportunities for our team to grow and thrive.

Thank you to our incredible clients and team for your trust and support. The future of Color Lab is brighter than ever.
