Salim is literally the only person I trust to cut my hair. I've been going to him for all my haircuts for several years now, even after moving far away from DC. He's that awesome.
Salim is absolutely great with haircut and blow-dry! Cuts the exact amount we discuss before washing and constantly checks if I’m liking his progress. Already been back twice and will be going back for as long as he’s here. 100% recommend to others.

Salim is the best stylist for short hair in the city! He uses many different techniques to shape the hair to your head. The hair is weightless and moves! I’m so glad he’s back to the salon!! If your, a short-hair person, you’ve got to go see him!
Salim is amazing at his craft!!! Best haircut and color ever!!! If you have curly hair or are used to Lebanese or other middle eastern hair cutting style and you never like your haircuts here in the States, this is the place to go! I love my hair so much and I can’t wait to come back. Thank you Salim!!!

Great spot for a haircut. Salim is polite, professional, and talented. I would highly recommend his services!
Amazing hair cut and super nice venue
Salim is a consistent, reliable and talented stylist - always providing the best haircuts along with his warm and welcoming personality. I have been a regular for over a year now and very happy. Highly recommend!
Salim has been cutting my hair for a couple of years. He is professional and on top of his game at all times. He has a fantastic sense of style from head to toe. Ladies be careful of his charm. He's also very easy on the eyes!
Salim is the best! After having my hair butchered by a few different salons in DC, I lucked out and found Salim. He is a lifesaver. And I can always count on compliments after a fresh cut.
