I have been going to Subairi, the owner of By Subairi, for over 6 years.  In that time I have only had one mediocre haircut – every other time I have walked out looking fabulous.  I’ve had numerous people – including strangers – compliment me on my hair cut and inquire as to my stylist.  And the full credit goes to Subairi.  He does a fabulous job on cuts, and even better on highlights.  Unlike some stylists I’ve been to, Subairi really listens.  After telling him I’d like to have more low lights to make the blonde not so blonde, he accommodated easily with beautiful and incredibly natural-looking color.  I brought my sister to him for a cut and highlights before her wedding, and she claims it was the best haircut/color she’s ever had – she was thrilled.

I would recommend Subairi hands-down.  He’s gotten a little pricier over the past few years – a cut runs me $60, and a full cut and highlights is $150 (not including tip).  However, considering the highlights grow out so well that I only have to get them done once every 3 months, for the DC area the expense isn’t too bad.
