5 Stars: Salon Joseph is GREAT EXPERIENCE (by kaja b.)

kaja b. — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:24:00 GMT

I heard about SALON JOSEPH from a friend and decided to try them after I moved back from NY and needed a new salon. I was really pleased with my cut and color! I have hard-to-manage hair and my new cut is so easy to work with and looks great. The stylists were friendly and the salon itself was very clean. I will definitely be back!

5 Stars: cutiest hair (by sandy t.)

sandy t. — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:21:00 GMT

Joseph took my outdated style and color and created a modern, sassy, easy to maintain style that has brought me numerous compliments. It wasn't easy to go from very long, straight hair to a short, "messy" bob, but JOSEPH convinced me it was the right thing to do. I absolutely LOVE the new look and how easy it is to style. My husband has even commented on how much he likes my new look and he has never commented on my hair before.

The salon is very relaxed and informal - rather like visiting a friend's house. It's also located near great shopping and restaurants

carleen c. — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:22:00 GMT

First I gotta tell you that, like most of you, Im obsessed with my hair ! Ive spent my whole life looking for the best hairstylistes !
Im from France, well know for Beauty, Fashion, and Style !
But it happened that I finnaly found the best, here, in Arlington , Virginia!
Jordan is just amazing !
Not only that she does amazing cuts, she KNOWS hair !
She understand your issue with it, at the first sight ! Too fine, too dry, not enough body, no shape.... And she always comes up with THE solution !
Shes very creative and talented. But she knows what to do, whether youre on the fashion week's podium or in the audience ! And thats what i like the most about her !
Congratulations to Salon Joseph for having her !

5 Stars: Salon Joseph is PERFECT (by alice p.)

alice p. — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:51:00 GMT

I loved having my hair cut with JOE. I called wanting someone who wasn't too expensive and then worried while driving to the salon that I would be getting a novice.But, it wasn't the case! JOE is a true artist and enjoys what he does. He gave my hair more attention than it has received from anyone in a long time. I could really tell he enjoyed what he was doing and he was fun to talk to. Left with my hair looking fabulous

5 Stars: Great find (by christine z.)

christine z. — Wed, 13 May 2009 03:29:00 GMT

I just moved back to the area from Atlanta and was EXTREMELY nervous about finding a new hair salon, but Salon Joseph is legit. He did the most amazing job! I finally got up the nerve to switch from the side bang to the full bang and I couldn't have asked for a better cut. he was confident, amazingly friendly and did exactly what I wanted him to do. he did such a great job in fact that I called up my sister the minute I walked out the door and told her to make an appointment ...which she did. Needless to say, she adores her hair as well. I will definitely be back.

P.S. I didn't go into the decor of the salon, but if you're artsy and enjoy creativity, like me, you'll die. : )

5 Stars: BEST COLORIST IN ARLINGTON VIRGINIA (by nicole s.)

nicole s. — Tue, 12 May 2009 01:55:00 GMT

I cheated on my hair stylist and it feels SO good. I drive/walk/bike down LEE HWY all the time and for months I wondered what that SALON JOSEPH place was with the cool sign and cool looking drapes on the inside. So I looked around the other day, and needing a haircut, decided to check it out. I called up, not really knowing or caring who I saw, and was placed with Jordan. She is awesome. She's fun and nice and super smart. I was there for almost two and a half hours and had no idea.Oh, and she cuts good hair. She started with an awesome head & neck massage. After telling her what I didn't like about my current hair, I immediately felt comfortable having her just go to town and do what she thought would work to fix those problems. I love my hair now. My bangs are exactly what I'd been missing since I had to leave my McLean hair lady. And she cut me layers. I never thought I was a fan, but I love em. And they have drinks to drink, good music to listen to, and cool people to be around.

5 Stars: SUPERB HAIR BY SALON JOSEPH (by abbie v.)

abbie v. — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:08:00 GMT

Joe is an excellent hair-care provider/stylist, and I could never imagine going to anyone else. he works with all hair types. His styles are always professional, and most important, he is concerned about the health of my hair. Since he became my stylist, my hair has become much shinnier and stronger. Relaxers, color, cuts -- Joe does it all exceptionally well!

Your Firefighter girl :)

5 Stars: Happy with my hair (by bethany r.)

bethany r. — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:17:00 GMT

I moved to arlington, va and tried a number of different hair stylist and was unsatisfied, Joe was recommended by a coworker and I am so grateful for the recommentation. he is an exellent hair stylist and a great person. I would recommend this salon to anyone who wants a great haircut and color in a friendly professional salon with great service anytime

5 Stars: REMARKABLE HAIR COLOR (by kay h.)

kay h. — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:10:00 GMT

I came to Joe a little on the unsure side but after leaving I'm definitely hooked. I was originally scheduled for a haircut but after talking I decided I wanted to change my color. I absolutely love his inspire color system. The tones are so rich and my hair looks great. I haven't had so many compliments.The vibe is definitely cool. great job. also best of luck on OPENNING YOU OWN PLACE. see you soon

5 Stars: :0) (by pam w.)

pam w. — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:57:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: Color and cut (by jess p.)

jess p. — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:41:00 GMT

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 "give him a try". 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.

5 Stars: WHAT A DIFFERENCE...... (by tina f.)

tina f. — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 17:50:00 GMT

I came in with short hair. Almost to short to style. Joe suggested some peek a boo highlight and a really sharp razor cut i loved it sooooo much. my husband almost didnt recognize me. Thank you Joe you worked your magic again, L.O.V.E I.T

5 Stars: Great Highlights and Cut (by margo s.)

margo s. — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 05:49:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Great Color! (by Kathryn K.)

Kathryn K. — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:51:00 GMT

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!!

5 Stars: Awesome Haircut & Experience--THANKS JOE (by kendra s.)

kendra s. — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:49:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: Great haircut & color (by rebecca e.)

rebecca e. — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 14:59:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: EXCELLENT STYLIST (by dede s.)

dede s. — Mon, 19 May 2008 17:23:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: coolest hair............. (by amy s.)

amy s. — Thu, 08 May 2008 21:14:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: PLEASED CLIENT (by alex m.)

alex m. — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 08:03:00 GMT

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. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with my experience and am looking forward to my next visit to add some hi-lites. Thanks for your focus on providing a great experience for the customer!

5 Stars: GREAT FIRST IMPRSSION!! (by lora b.)

lora b. — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 22:53:00 GMT

last week was my first visit at the salon, and I must say that I absolutely loved my experience! Joe did a wonderful job on coloring my hair just the way I wanted it. he really took the time to listen to what I wanted. Also, he did excellent at texturing my hair so it is no longer a giant poofball! What a pleasant experience! Thanks!

5 Stars: GREAT HAIR. (by jane b.)

jane b. — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 19:10:00 GMT

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).

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.

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

2 Stars: I don't get all the hype about the salon (by Kristin S.)

Kristin S. — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:11:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: THE BEST (by stacy h.)

stacy h. — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 07:44:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: Exactly what I wanted (by K D.)

K D. — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 22:15:00 GMT

I'm pretty sure that Joe can read minds because he cut my hair the way I imagined it. This was my first time seeing him, and it will definitely not be my last. This was also the first time that I found a stylist based on Internet reviews, so thanks to all of the other reviewers!

5 Stars: My haircut is hotttttttttttt!!!!! (by caren b.)

caren b. — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:21:00 GMT

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 "internal structure of the layering" -- this guy is beyond expert, he's an artist. Thanks -- see you in march

5 Stars: Joe is TERRIFIC!! (by Lisa H.)

Lisa H. — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 16:18:00 GMT

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 & 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 & quite a likable guy.

5 Stars: CUTE COIF (by g e.)

g e. — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 21:42:00 GMT

I have always allowed my stylist to guide me with the direction of the cut & 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.

5 Stars: THANX JOE (by paula f.)

I went to Joe for the first time 2 days ago and I will be returning whenever I need any type of hair service! he was able to rescue me from a bad hair cut I received at another salon. he was very professional and reassuring and now my hair is beautiful! I would highly recommend him. Thanks Joe !!

5 Stars: Hair Dresser for life!!!! (by Amanda W.)

Amanda W. — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 13:42:00 GMT

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.

5 Stars: BEST STYLIST EVER (by leslie r.)

leslie r. — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 21:15:00 GMT

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!

5 Stars: BEST EVER !!!!! (by sera h.)

sera h. — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 04:49:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: Amazing!!! (by Sarah S.)

Sarah S. — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 09:48:00 GMT

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!

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. :)

5 Stars: Joseph is the best stylist and colorist!!!!! (by mariam s.)

mariam s. — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 20:26:00 GMT

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

5 Stars: SUPERB HAIRDRESSER.................. (by katrin s.)

katrin s. — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 20:41:00 GMT

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!!!!

cindy m. — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 20:28:00 GMT

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

maggie w. — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 20:23:00 GMT

A couple weeks ago i was out at a restaurant in D.C, we were waiting at the bar for our table and the bartender's hair was gorgeous. the kind of hair you see on a California surfer type of girl. i commented how lucky she was to be a natural blonde and she smiled and said that she really wasn't. she told me she had found this guy named Joseph about a year ago on line, and that he had been doing her hair ever since. she got me his business card out of her purse and said that i was not the first to ask about her hair. i called and made an appointment and he was great- he did a partial foil and cut. My hair looks so natural and sunkissed. i am so pleased i just had to write a review . - Maggie

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!

5 Stars: The Search Ends here!!!! (by dawn w.)

dawn w. — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 06:32:00 GMT

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.

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.

5 Stars: Awesome stylist (by chloe j.)

... Joseph is a GOD of hair! He is SUCH a sweet person and is truly just absolutely fantastic! He really does take the time to talk to you to find out what kind of cut would be best for you, makes sure you're comfortable with what you agree on for your hair, and then works his magic! Honestly, I have had a LOT of good haircuts with all of the stylist in my hometown (Scottsdale, which is extremely trendy as well), but Joseph was BY FAR the best. My hair looks absolutely fantastic and he just did an incredible job of making it all flow together perfectly, two of my roommates also loves his work. thank you Joseph for making us have great hairChloe j.

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.

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!

5 Stars: BEST COLOR EVER BY JOSEPH!!!! (by karen s.)

karen s. — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:47:00 GMT

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

I went to see JOE AWAD Tuesday evening in desperate need of repair to a haircut I had two weeks ago [at another salon].
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.
See you soon.

5 Stars: Joseph experience and technique guarantee the best highlights! (by taylor t.)

taylor t. — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 20:14:00 GMT

After moving from the city 2 years ago, I was devastated to have to succomb to orange hair highlights. A friend from mclean, va recommended me to go and see joseph ! Never an orange highlight job again! Not only does joseph do a fabulous job but he is so sweet! I can go a long time in between appointments (only if I have to- I am addicted to lots of great blonde highlights) because his experience and technique of highlighting does not leave any kind of stripe with outgrowth. he can go from the super natural looking color to really funky and make the color look as though it grew out of your scalp that way. i showed him a picture and told him what i do and don't like - Joseph will make you look fabulous! Joseph is so good at listening and when I am in his chair, I KNOW that my color will be the best ever. he is fast too! It is always worth the 1 1/2 hour drive!!!! Many of my friends go to him too! You'll love his work!!!!!!!!

**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.

5 Stars: thank u joseph (by ann s.)

ann s. — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 19:56:00 GMT

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.

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!

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. I found JOE awad and was impressed with all the great reviews. So I made an appt and he is brilliant! It's unbelievable the miracle he performed on my hair! 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!!
