    I went in because I tried to color my hair myself, and it     
    turned out awful. We are new to the area, and I found his
    reviews to be most assuring in trying to find someone to
    correct what I had done to myself. He was very nice. He
    took time with me and took into account my opinion on
    what I liked and wanted to achieve. He saved my head! I
    will definitely go back!

    Pros: Very nice. Took time with me.
    Cons: Wish he could do my hair every day!

    awesome experience
    Posted by kaylabarnie on 07/15/2006

    I had been wearing the same tired style for years - and
    really needed a change. Since I could never find a true
    stylist I just maintained that same, boring "do". Well, that
    all changed when I went to see joe awad. I was not certain
    as to what type of style I wanted but he was patient and
    helped me find the cute, short, and stylish cut that I
    presently have. He was so fabulous that I even went back
    for color!

    thank u joseph

    This was my 3rd haircut and color with JOSEPH, 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.

    ==============================================

    I was refered to JOSEPH AWAD by a friend and I am so
    happy I took her advice. I went in for my color and haircut
    and received a complete makeover. My highlights are
    unbelievable, they look sooo natural, and my cut is
    absolutely great! I loved their atmosphere! The best part
    is that I received a 20 % off for referring my other friends
    to him and they love him ....Now, that's customer
    service!!! I want to thank you joseph for taking care of me
    and I guarantee that I will be back soon!!! I will definetely
    recommend it

    I went to the Salon for the first time last week. I got an
    appointment with JOE AWAD . At first I was nervous,
    trying a new place for the first time. JOE gave me the
    best haircut of my life. I've had so many compliments
    since I was in. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. he is
    upbeat and talented. I would highly recommend him to
    everyone I know!

    NICE JOB BY JOE
    Posted by donnajones6 on 06/13/2006

    After reading some of the great reviews, I scheduled a
    haircut with JOE. I was very nervous, as for the past
    several years other stylists insisted on giving me the
    outdated Jennifer Aniston cut. However, JOE assured me
    that he would not take that route - instead, he suggested
    what would best suit my face and best of all - HE GOT IT
    RIGHT!!! My hair is now growing into a look I love and I
    owe it to JOE'S patience, skill and of course the helpful
    reviews. Thanks!
    ==============================================

    Best Hair Salon: Joe Awad is wonderful
    Posted by manisha333 on 06/12/2006

    This was my first experience at the salon and I have to say
    that Joe Awad was really great, what I liked about him
    was that he advised you, on what would look good and
    what would not, he was patient and listened to what my
    expectations were and then suggested what would look
    good. I would totally go to him again because that guy
    knows what he's doing and knows it well!!

    never been able to walk out of a salon feeling entirely
    happy with what was done with my hair until now. I
    absolutely love my hair .thank you JOE ,the color with the
    dimensional hi lite looks awesome

    Last weekend I got a terrible cut and hilights at a
    different salon. So I called joe after i read 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

    bye bye frizzy hair
    Posted by kristenodonell on 04/27/2006

    i was referred to joe by a friend. i have curly frizzy hair
    and he just had introduce me to a new treatment called
    "frizz cure". my hair came out unbelievably awesome. the
    treatment got rid of my frizzies about 95 % but it kept my
    curls . i really love it and the haircut compliment the style.
    i only get compliments anywhere i go. thanks joe

    great hair
    Posted by pamelaroger1 on 03/28/2006

    Since I moved to dc I have had trouble finding a place to
    get my hair done . 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.


    =====================================

    never felt so good about my hair
    Posted by karenstanley on 03/13/2006

    I waited one weeks for the appointment but it was soo
    worth it. I just had my hair colored and highlighted with
    joe awad. The color he did is gorgeous!! I was afraid that
    since he is so highly recommended that he was going to be
    a snob. He was super nice and I'm completely ecstatic over
    my hair. The salon is good but the experience was great
    because of joe. sun gazette Magazine was right, he is the
    best colorist of northern virginia . No attitude just great
    color and conversation.

    i found my new hairdresser
    Posted by lindasmith4 on 02/23/2006

    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 on Citysearch 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!!

    BEST STYLIST
    Posted by julie1z on 01/07/2006

    Moving to the DC/VA/MD area has put me in the market for
    a new salon and a new stylist.all my hopes and dreams
    were answered the day I was then introduced to Joe, my
    stylist. I could tell right away that I was in for a treat. I
    was pampered, I was given the experience of a lifetime,
    not to mention the most amazing haircut and color and
    highlights ever. I highly recommend joe.
