Testimonials
Claire's work has been featured and recommended in several publications and websites over the years. Below are a few of the testimonials received from clients who have visited her:
"There are many things in life that are overrated, from celebrity stylist to expensive shampoo, but that really depends on your perspective. If your hair is important to you, if you want a hair cut that looks like a work of art that will literally turn heads, then go to Claire Burham at Roche Salon. While she’s perfectly cast—she’s a British bombshell, modest, and has a penchant for turning ordinary hair into pure silk—Claire is no coiffeur du jour. She knows what women/men want from their stylist: an hour and half of luxury that results in a hairstyle with an air of billionaire pizzazz. The test of a great stylist for me is never how my hair looks when I leave the salon: it’s how it holds up, when I left the salon my hair was perfectly cut, shiny and light as a feather. When I woke up the next day my hair was everything Claire created the day before but it looked and felt more like pure silk. But I wouldn’t expect anything less from someone who sees your hair as a canvas, and has worked in some of the finest salons in the world!"

"That is the best haircut you have had since Paris (1999),” said my husband when I got home with my new cut! “In fact, that looks better than the one you had in Paris.” This, from a former military man who hasn’t changed his hair in about 40 years. It is the “day after” and I still love my cut! It was easy to style this morning and I just love it. Fits my mood exactly. Thank you again for your beautiful work!

"Ladies, I feel glorious and I’m still glowing. I went to see Claire F. Burnham at Roche Salon in Georgetown. Such a cool vibe and the scalp massage made me feel alive. Claire is extraordinary and truly talented. She cut and styled my hair so well, and gave me styling tips n tricks. Which are useful and easy to do. I feel just marvelous and look great. Thanks Washingtonian."

"I’m from NYC and I’m now living in Washington DC for about 6 months. I have short straight hair and a curly haired co-worker recommended Claire F. Burnham, because her haircut always grows out well. So I checked out Claire’s website clairefburnham.com and I went to see her at Roche Salon in Georgetown. And to my surprise, my co worker was right. Not only has my haircut grown out beautifully. I felt valued and I’m also saving money. I normally have my haircut every 4 weeks, but with Claire’s cut I can push it to 6 weeks. So happy I found Claire. "

"For my curly hair I see Claire F. Burnham, who was recommended for curly in this article. That is why I went to see her.
I got an appointment with Claire, when she just returned from working with Dior at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
At the time she was with ILO Salon and now she is at Roche Salon in Georgetown at the Washington Harbor on K Street. The shampoo assistants there give a wonderful head massage, which was what a girl needed after a hard day at the office. Love Claire, she is a true professional and so down to earth and I trust her with my mane hence following her.
I also love her new relaxed surroundings. Ask for a cappuccino, they are pretty tasty. Thanks Washingtonian for the recommendation."
