Just moved to Arlington and was looking for a stylist nearby. Scheduled a next-day appt with Issa after needing a haircut badly. Showed him a pic, and he got right to it. In and out in 30 minutes with an amazing $50 cut. Which, you can't find that anywhere around here! So pleasantly surprised and will be back for sure.

Positive:Â Professionalism
I was surprised to walk into an empty salon after reading all the reviews. But I was welcomed by Issa and instantly felt at ease. I didn’t say much about my hair other than showed him a photo of what I wanted. My hair turned out beautifully and Issa was so kind.

I usually don't give bad reviews, but I feel this place is constantly overbooked and don't treat customers with respect. Each time I went there, the owner asked me to wait. It was okay to wait for 10 to 15 minutes if he needed to finish up. Two weeks ago, I made an appointment on a weekday at 11 am, and got a confirmation email from them. When I went there at 11am, it turned out the owner had no idea about this appointment until he checked out the system. There were two customers getting a perm then. So he asked me to wait and I expected it would be 10-15 minutes waiting as usual. After

If possible, I'd give this place no star. Worst hair cut and balayage.
I'm utterly disappointed as he completely butchered my hair. I initially went there to get a balayage and have my orange root get darken, however, it has gone 180°different from what I had envisioned in my mind and told/showed him how I want my hair to be. Not only he did a bad job coloring my hair, but also he played with my hair by cutting it uneven like this picture shown.
Issa bleached my hair twice. When he first bleached and toned it, my hair turned smokey grey, (don't even think or dream about brown

I have been wanting to come here since I moved here last year and it did NOT live up to the reviews. I'm going to break it down as much as possible.
Pros:
*Issa did great color on me. I happy with the color!
*I was able to get in fairly quickly!
*Price was decent, I have paid more for my long hair. *$250 was my total for balayage and haircut.
Cons:
*His son was there, which I completely understand during these uncertain times!
*However, when your child is screaming for over two hours on how he was hungry and starving, is not ok! His son was literally yelling "I'm hungry papa

I was very happy with my color and cut. This isn't the kind of place where you micro-manage the stylist. But if you have a general idea what you want, you'll come out looking good. For example, I wanted highlights. Issa did balayage, which I've never had before. But I like the way it turned out, even though it wasn't originally what I had in mind. Also, I'll mention I'm a natural blonde, and not everyone does good color on blondes, but I thought they did a great job. I will definitely go back.

First time visit = Highly impressed.
I would not have expected such great service from what looks like a hole in the wall salon. Upon arrival, the owner and primary hairstylist, welcomed me and checked me in quickly. He asked me to sit on a chair and I shared what kind of cut I wanted and he listened before making his recommendations. He looked at my hair and saw that I had gotten a very basic cut with no style previously (obviously, I went to Bubbles) and he said he would make it better for me. I got excited and with reason because a good friend recommended him.
He washed my hair super well

I totally hesitate to give bad reviews but this is what happened on March 16th. I had hair length just above my bra strap in the back (very minimal layers and bangs). I brought in a picture of a woman with the same length hair and asked him to layer it in the same type of layers. As he is cutting my hair another patron said very loudly, "Oh my gosh, look at how much he's cutting off her hair"! I said, "Issa, did you hear what she said"? He said he did & kept cutting. His wife comes to see what he is doing while getting an item out of the drawer in front of me. She looks

It pains me to write a negative review; I like to support local businesses and I'd hate for my words to be the reason why a hard working person loses money. That being said, I feel compelled to share my experience so others can carefully consider their salon choice. Yesterday I received an awful haircut from Issa that has me seriously considering pricey extensions in order to retrieve some sense of normalcy. I entered the salon with long hair, half way down my back. I left with a short, choppy, uneven mess.
I explicitly told Issa that my hair needed to be able to be pulled back into a low

Issa did it again! I wanted to head into 2019 with some "weight" lifted off my shoulders and what better way to do so than by chopping 13 inches off for Locks of Love. He works quickly, diligently, and never fails to amaze me.
I have dark brown hair and he added some color to brighten and add depth. I loved it when I left the salon and of course had to continue to play and curl it once I got home.
Thank you Issa for mastering your technique and making a girl feel like a million bucks!

As I was reading the reviews for Issa at Dazzle I saw that people tended to love or hate him. But if you look deeper, the things most people don't like are negligible. Really, you had a rough shampoo? Aww... sweetie.
Here are the important things:
Issa is a talented artist. He's extremely good at what he does, and he can do it expertly and efficiently. I went in for a short, multi-layered style. I described what I wanted in about a sentence and twenty minutes later had the perfect haircut. Issa will not gab at you but will speak to you graciously if you speak to him.
So if you are looking

Came here because the Groupon deal and despite some of the comments about the rough handling off the stylist. I won't lie, I wasn't a fan of my head being shoved and pushed to his liking so that's probably a reason I won't come back but the cut is good. He gave me his honest recommendations and it turned out great.
There's no courtesy in this salon. He passed me and another client off to another stylist for her to finish his work (blow-drying and styling) to move on to the next client without a warning or a heads up.

There are reasons for this rating:
For the barber:
1. It took the barber no more than 20mins, maybe only 15 mins to cut my hair. He cut so quickly. When the result turned to be so bad, he can make almost no more changes. I understand ever barber has his/ her working style. But I wonder if he should think about the process more carefully. That is also a way to show responsibility for the job. 2. The way he cut my hair was so rude. His hand was almost hitting on my head and my front head turned to be red after I left the place. I have never met any barber cut in this ridiculous way.

Issa did an absolutely amazing job with my hair. I usually dread getting haircuts because of that week-long period where you have to get used to your new cut, but not this time. I left feeling beautiful and actually ended up going out that night simply because I wanted to show off my hair lol.
Prices were super reasonable. I'll be going back for sure.
