      <title>5 Stars:  My haircut is hotttttttttttttttt! (by caren b.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;i've never been inspired to write a review before, but the world must know about Joe Awad. He squeezed me in for an appointment at embarassingly short notice for my first gallery opening, listened to my unreasonable requests (I actually showed him a picture of a supermodel and asked him to make me look like her), and half an hour later I was transformed. Joe understands hair the way Einstien understood physics. As he worked he explained to me the &amp;quot;internal structure of the layering&amp;quot; -- this guy is beyond expert, he's an artist. Thanks  -- see you in march&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  THE BEST (by stacy h.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;i went here on a recommendation of a friend and loved my experience. i have been all over looking for someone who could get my hair-color right and i was overly impressed. i not only was happy with my color but my haircut was also amazing.Joseph is fantastic.he is totally the kind of hairstylist who makes you feel good about you hair,your life and who you are as a person. i brought in some pictures to give him an idea of what i wanted and he looked at them and talked to me about what was good,what wasn't, and what would work well on me.it's great when stylists take time like that....it results in great hair and extreme customer service. :0)Stacey d&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  FEEL LIKE .....MILLION $ (by BRAIDY F.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I went to see JOE AWAD Tuesday evening in desperate need of repair to a haircut I had two weeks ago [at another salon]. 
&lt;br /&gt;I was so miserable for those two weeks - all I could think about was how awful my hair looked. You cut my hair so amazingly beautiful, I love it. No matter what I do to it, the look is great. Its so easy to care for. I love the products and want to thank you so much for your talent and making me feel good again.
&lt;br /&gt;See you soon.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>5 Stars:  GREAT HAIR. (by jane b.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I am totally jazzed about my new haircut from Joe. I went in on Friday and had a lovely, lovely time with him, but wanted to wait a few days to see if I could actually style it myself (I always love a cut once I walk out the salon, but have been baffled a few times before, upon returning home, showering and realizing there was no way in you-know-where I was going to be able to get my hair to look like the stylist did, let alone decent). &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyway, my new haircut passed the self-styling test! I love it, and I can even make it look somewhat like the way Joe did. This is solely due to the careful and detailed instructions he gave me, and product he sent me home with.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Joe embodies everything I look for in a stylist - he's cute, funky and easy to talk to, he gave me a kick-ass cut all the while paying attention to my requests, he taught me how to style my hair on my own, and even gave me some overall pointers that I probably should have learned in middle school. AND he's affordable! Rock star, all around&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  totally the best!!!!!!!! (by adriana b.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;**THE BEST** I WAS NOT A BIG FAN OF HAIR COLORING SINCE IT NEVER COMES OUT GOOD. BUT I HAVE TO HAND IT TO JOE, HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. I WAS REFEREED TO JOE BY A FRIEND AND I HAVE TO SAY THANKS TO HER AND TO HIM FOR MAKING MY HAIR BEAUTIFUL. ITS BEEN 2 YEARS AND I STILL SEE JOE. HE ALWAYS TELLS ME WHATS NEW AND WHAT HAIR COLOR IS BEST FOR MY FACE. SO MY SECRET IS OUT, ITS MY HAIRDRESSER. MY FRIENDS AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOE. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>5 Stars:  REPEAT CUSTOMER! (by karen z.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have enjoyed all the haircuts I've received from Joe . His attention to detail is impeccable. I feel very comfortable having him cut my hair- and have always enjoyed all the comments I get on my haircuts. He has helped me to become more conscious of my hair- in a good way! I am glad I found him!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  thank u joseph (by ann s.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This was my 3rd haircut with joseph awad, the 3rd haircut for me has always been the worst. Not this time, i actually went in expecting to be let down. It's' been my experience that the 1st cut is always great they're trying to impress, the 2nd they can copy the 1st but the 3rd seems to be a new ballgame. Not only was it incredible but it may be my favorite. Having a cut that is easy and fits my personal style has made my life so much easier. joseph i know you'll read this, i thought about sending you a thank you card but i thought this was a better. Thank you for every complement i recieve, for getting me to work ontime cuz i'm not fighting with my hair and for all your perfect suggestions. Don't be so humble your amazing.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  Great Color! (by Kathryn K.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have been seeing my colorist for years in Atlanta, but just recently moved to DC dreading the thought of finding a new colorist.  But after my experience with Joe, I will never go back to my old colorist again. He did an amazing job with the color and it looks better than ever.  I was definitely skeptical of trying a new colorist because I have had a few bad experiences in the past.  Joe was great, though, and I will definitely be back to see him again soon!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I love my hair, I love the color, I love the cut, I love it! I went to Eli's Salon recently and had my haircut with YOLA. She was superb! I highly recommend her for highlights, color and cut. She preformed a miracle on my hair!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>5 Stars:  Hair Dresser for life!!!! (by Amanda W.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I read all the reviews and made an appointment.  I was not disappointed.  I was convinced that the perfect cut and color was out there.  He highlighted and cut.  Now the gray is gone, replaced by a beautiful blondish brown,  The heavyness is gone replaced by short hair with long layers.  I have the bangs I always wanted because Joe is so creative. People ask me all the time where I get my hair done. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  Joe is TERRIFIC!! (by Lisa H.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ok, this is the 2nd time I've been to Joe and continue to be  absolutely thrilled!!! He is great at assessing color/cut to suit my face &amp;amp; personality and is such a pro! My boyfriend says it's the best cut/color I've ever had!! Joe has given me blond hi-lights and allover darker hair and both times it's looked phenomenal! Aside from the fantastic job he does with the color and cut, his personality and love for his clients is remarkable. Even with all of his awards and sterling reputation, he isn't the slightest bit snooty and doesn't cut any corners--and is unwaveringly generous in his time with each client. Plus, he's funny &amp;amp; quite a likable guy.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  :0) (by pam w.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Joe is fantastic!  I have so much confidence in Joe that every time I sit down, I tell him he can do whatever he wants.  He knows me well enough to know my limits but also always gives me a really cute cut that's low maintenance - critical for me.  The last time we went a bit shorter than normal and i loved it.  I've gone to Joe for about five years now and have never been disappointed.  Haircut, style, and head massages are all an A+ and so is he!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  FINALLY........  :0) (by beth i.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;first went to  Joseph on a recommendation. I was a little nervous because of past experiences. My hair has been burnt, chopped, and even turned to a brassy yellow. None of these applied when I saw JOSEPH . he actually listened to me and what I wanted. Not only did I get the best haircut I've ever had, but my color is fabulous! My highlights are the shade of blonde you envy on celebritites. I've been asking for this look for so long and JOSEPH is the first stylist who actually produced what I wanted. he exceeded my expectations and I will never let another touch my hair!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  CUTE COIF (by g e.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have always allowed my stylist to guide me with the direction of the cut &amp;amp; color of my hair. I usually provide a little direction, but mainly rely on their professional opinion- this has burned me more than once! HOWEVER, in the hands of JOE I felt so relaxed and comfortable. he listened to what I didn't like about the current look and what I hoped for- he asked questions and in the end helped me determine what I wanted! The result was awesome! I was so happy with the color- which gave my dark hair a great lift, still looked natural and was easy to maintain. I can't say nicer things about the cut- JOE mastered the style I had been after! The salon was cozy, tastefully decorated and everyone was friendly! I highly recommend HIM.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  BEST COLOR EVER BY JOSEPH!!! (by karen s.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently had an awful color experience with my usual stylist. I believe she must've been having a bad day. Anyway, I heard of Joseph through a friend of mine, who couldn't stop talking about how great his work was. When I met Joseph and heard what needed to be done to fix my fried hair, I agreed to it all. What really blew me away was how professional and experienced he is.the guy has an eye for color! Not only was he able to fix my hair, but he gave me the look I've been dying to have for years!!! Anyone who wants great color, and great service should see Joseph!! u have me for life. thanks&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;k. s&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PROS: GREAT COLOR, FAB SERVICE
&lt;br /&gt;CONS: NONE&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  BEST STYLIST EVER (by leslie r.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The world needs more stylist like JOE. When I first started going to JOE over three years ago, I wore my hair short, but always used hot rollers and quite frankly it dated me. One day, I asked JOE for something different, but professional as I own my own business and needed to keep my image intact. He gave me an absolutely awesome short, spiky, sassy style. he then re-did my color adding low-lights and highlights to my hair. It is so awesome to go out to stores and get stopped by people who compliment my hair and always ask who did it. For anyone who wants a truly awesome style, who wants someone that listens to your wants and needs, JOE is the stylist for you. I recommend him to my clients and they are always thrilled! Thanks JOE for taking years off of my appearance!!! You have a client for life! &lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  Awesome Haircut &amp; Experience--THANKS JOE (by kendra s.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I got my hair cut and highlighted by Joe yesterday for the first time. he was so awesome!!! My hair is short and I'm trying to grow it out. I brought in several pictures of cuts and color that I liked and showed them to him. he was very helpful in working with me to decide what I really wanted and would look good on me, especially as I grow my hair out. he really listened to what I wanted, and asked me a lot of questions to make sure I would be happy with what he thought would look good, and he explained to me what he was doing as he cut my hair. I love my cut and color!!! he did a fabulous job and he was so friendly!! I have definitely found a new stylist, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  GREAT WORK (by tanya d.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Since I moved to DC  I have had trouble finding a place to get my hair done. So I read some reviews and decided to try Joseph . I got highlights and a cut from and it was wonderful. he was so nice and gave me ideas about how to cut my hair, rather than just asking me, based on my face shape and coloring and things. I love my hair and I have never received so many compliments before.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  Amazing!!! (by Sarah S.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Joe did an amazing job with my hair. I highly recommend him--he does fantastic work. He is professional, attentive, and has an eye for color and style. I am new to the area and prior to Joe, had the same hairdresser for over 10 years. I came in looking for a fun new haircut and to take my hair from the boring blond highlights that I had for years, to a rich chocolate brunette shade. He carefully matched up a hair color and advised me on which colors would flatter my complexion. As for the cut, he still managed to keep my hair on the longer side, and added face flattering layers. I am absolutely thrilled with my new cut and color. My husband, family, and friends just cannot say enough kind things about my new hair! Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  great hair (by pamela r.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Since I moved to dc I have had trouble finding a place to get my hair done. So I read some reviews and decided to try eli's salon . I got highlights and a cut from JOE AWAD and it was wonderful. HE was so nice and gave me ideas about how to cut my hair, rather than just asking me, based on my face shape and coloring and things. I love my hair and I have never received so many complements before.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I've been going to the same hair stylist in Chicago for 11 years and was terrified to take a chance on someone else here in DC.

It's beautiful...he's incredibly talented and passionate about hair! I love him ! He's my new best friend. I trust him completely and will be back for more!!

      <title>5 Stars:  SKILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (by savanah l.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I just had my second cut with Joe ...he's fantastic. I don't think I've had a stylist pay as much attention to detail as he does. he truly takes his time and you can tell all of his focus is on you. I also am loving the natural color i got. Best salon experience I've ever had. :) &lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last weekend I got a terrible cut and color at a different salon. So I went to see joe after all the reviews. He worked carefully to blend in layers and fix the damage done at the other salon. I walked in feeling absolutely hideous, and walked out feeling great! Thank you joe!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  Great Highlights and Cut (by margo s.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I got my hair cut and highlighted 3 weeks ago and I was very pleased with the results. I'm extremely picky about haircuts and I haven't gotten highlights in years because I didn't think anyone would be able to do anything nice with my hair, because it's so dark. But, Joe suggested a nice golden color and it turned out great! He listens to i want and he made his own suggestions which are very helpful. I would definitely suggest going here, i kind of felt at ease and comfortable with him  right away.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  Great haircut &amp; color (by rebecca e.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I would highly recommend Joe. When I first went to him I had never had highlights but wanted something new, and so left it up to him to recommend what would look the best--and it turned out great. The cut itself was amazing. I have wavy, sometimes-curly sometimes-straight hair that stylists can never seem to get right and I've never walked out of a place loving what they've done. But with just a little description of what I wanted he cut it perfectly, just how I wanted--and I got a number of compliments on my haircut that night. Plus he's so friendly..overall a great experience. &lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Joe has been my hairdresser for about 6 years.  he's fantastic.  I just let him do whatever he want and I've never been disappointed.  he always tries new techniques and keeps my hair looking hip and cool all the time.  I constantly have people coming up to me giving me compliments on my hair style and color.  I'm always being asked about who does my hair. Joe is the best!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  amazing experience... (by heather b.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I made an appointment with Joseph based on the previous reviews, and I was very pleased with not only the haircut, but with the entire experience. Joseph listened to what I wanted and made fabulous suggestions -- honestly expressing what he felt would compliment my face and my lifestyle. I told him that I did not have much time to style my hair, and he did something I did not expect. He actually gave me a cut that would look great without much styling time. (No stylist has ever been able to do this for me.) But the best part? He treated me like a real person, with so much dignity and kindness. I highly recommend Joseph.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Joe is a hair genius! Usually, I am always unhappy right after a haircut when my hair goes though that weird period of a few days adjusting to the cut but I never have this problem with Joe. I have been immediately happy every time! And he's a lot of fun to talk to! Not only do you leave looking great, but you leave in a great mood, too!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;WOW. What can I say. I have traveled all over the world and though I have experienced other great salons, Joseph is bar none! Joseph asked me what I wanted done and then incorporated his amazing artistic cutting/color talent to create something I envision only mentally. He knew what I wanted and did just that. He was very creative with every cut and snip of my hair. He was NOT one of those people who listen to what you say, then do the exact opposite. I'm a permanent client here! He gave me the cutest short haircut with bold hi-lites.It suits my personality very much. i feel me now when i look in the mirror. i get stopped at least 3 times a day people asks who does my hair. i owe it to you Joseph. you rock dude

      <title>5 Stars:  Color and Cut (by jess p.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I can't even remember how many years I've been going to Joe. It must be getting close to 8 years now! My friend found him first, actually, and so I went to him simply because my friend was going to him and told me to &amp;quot;give him a try&amp;quot;. Lucky for me. I went to very expensive stylists in D.C, no one can cut and colored my hair as well as Joe. I consistently get compliments on both his cuts and color. And even when I'm not sure exactly what color or what type of cut I want, I walk out looking fabulous! Joe has a talent for helping me find new looks that compliment my face, personality and lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>2 Stars:  I don't get all the hype about the salon (by Kristin S.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Had my hair colored and just thought it was okay. Not as bright as I had hoped, but based on the reviews I thought I would have been blown away. The salon itself is very dated and actually dirty and looks run-down. Kind of like an old lady salon. I just don't get all the positive reviews here.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  The Search Ends Here!!!! (by dawn w.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I moved to Arlington, Va 4 years ago. I never went to get a hair cut due to the fact that I was never satisfied. It was always one thing or another. I have long hair, that is the one thing that I dread about hair stylists... they Love to cut off long hair. The first time i met Joseph i immediately felt comfortable. he asked me what I was looking for. I told him anything not too short. he was great! he also included some highlights that I would have never considered. His suggestions on hair cut and color to compliment your features is incredible. he has a create eye for style. Not to mention that he LOVES what he does. he will take his time with you every time!! I wont go any place else. I finally found a stylist that knows what he is doing!!! Thank you Joseph.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>5 Stars:  BEST EVER !!!!! (by sera h.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I'd been wanting a good hairstylist for a long time, and recently discovered JOSEPH AWAD. I've had long, one length curly hair forever, and no stylist has ever really done anything with it. I took the plunge and sat with JOSEPH, who came highly recommended. and I honestly must tell all that after spending an hour with him sculpting, smoothing, and transforming my hair into a beautiful look, I feel I can't afford not to see him again. He is an absolute master at what he does, and his quiet focus on you is absolutely mesmerizing. the day he was cutting my hair channel 9 news had voted him the best stylist/colorist in the metropolitian area. he deserves it ,he is the best. and congratulations and can't wait to see him again. my hair is beautiful &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>5 Stars:  'SUPERB HAIRDRESSE......................' (by katrin s.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Joseph- all I have to say!!! I am so incredibly pleased with my haircut. I have gone to several different hair salons, but with no luck finding an individual who would cut/color the way I want, or even close for that matter. I was so impressed with the way Joseph had cut my sister's hair (the color is beautiful too) that I made the appointment two days later. It has been about two weeks now and everyday I wake up I look forward to the way I will be styling my hair that day. He took his time to help me find the perfect colors (I am extremely picky) and I cannot thank him ENOUGH for his fabulous sense of style, WHAT A TALENT!!! I found my permanent hair dresser, and I am so excited and relieved!Thankyou Joseph, keep up the amazing work!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  Joseph is the best stylist and colorist!!!!! (by mariam s.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I met Joseph through one of his clients at a party. He has changed my life with what he did for my thin,fine hair. I had a consultation, which was free, and a cup of coffee while he told me what he could and could not do for me. We ended up doing a highlight with several shades of low and highlights that made my hair look fuller. he also then gave me a fantastic cut and showed me how to style my hair at home. Joseph is great stylist and I loved his straight to the point attitude and charm.he also gave me a 1 week period to adjust my hair to how I wanted it, no one has ever offered me that. he also offers a referral program which makes my trips to him even cheaper as I refer my friends. Really try him while you can still get in for an appointment, as he is the best kept secret in town......Unless Oprah discovers him then I am out of luck :-) mariam s&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>5 Stars:  PLEASED CLIENT (by alex m.)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I was in search of a new stylist this past week, so did some research on the internet and settled on this place based upon the reviews and awards that Joe has received. I called for an appointment and i have curly hair. This was the best experience I have every had on the first visit with a new stylist. Joe took the time to listen to what my concerns were and then offered some suggestions and recommendations. I really appreciated someone who was willing to take the time and discuss the pros/cons of my options. he then proceeded to show me a simple way to style my hair that cuts down the time it takes to do my hair.
