Bassam Joseph Bitarr is a TREASURE. Dylan Keith Salon is very lucky to have him, and I am extremely fortunate to have become one of his new clients. I've already left a well deserved very positive review for Dylan Keith Salon. Joseph now gets his own personal review. I scheduled a consultation for color correction with Joseph for April 18th, and it went very quickly and smoothly. He listened very carefully to what I wanted and how I felt about my previous hair color and hair dressers. I wasn't criticizing my former hair dressers personally; I was just expressing my dissatisfaction with some previous color choices and the myriad of colors - copper, gray, salt and pepper, white and dark brown - all competing for attention in my hair! This was the end result of not getting my hair professionally colored since December 2024 and using at home henna color for several months in 2025. To say that I needed a major color correction was an UNDERSTATEMENT! Joseph talked me through his color suggestions, and he explained the best approach to take regarding my complex situation. I wanted a warm shade of brown with a bit of a copper undertone. Darker brown shades made the gray along the roots much more obvious. We scheduled my next appointment for color correction for May 9th, and Joseph performed a color correction process that took about two and a half hours. He had to handle the henna dyed hair differently from the natural color hair near the roots, and find a way to blend the colors seamlessly. He did it. He performed a kind of magic. He mixed hair color to correct the bright orange-red henna color segments and applied it very carefully. He tested it first. After he was satisfied (the color worked and my hair took it), he proceeded to apply color to that area of my hair. Once the henna color was corrected, he proceeded to work on the upper portion (most recent hair growth) and the end result was perfect. Just beautiful! As a woman, I felt attractive again. He's very patient. He's extremely focused. He's a perfectionist. He's very honest about his recommendations for a client, and doesn't waste time with a lot of small talk. He's actually one of the few hair dressers I've known who is truly comfortable working in silence. When he opens up and shares in conversation, he's charming. I enjoyed our discussions and our collaboration very much! I'll be seeing him again this Saturday, now that six weeks have passed. He'll see how the color has grown out. Perfectionist that he is, he's going to do some additional touch-up work on certain areas that we spoke about during my first visit. Thank you, Joseph. I needed time to write an honest, accurate review that would do you justice and show my respect and appreciation. Final grade for this talented, professional and honest hair dresser: A+++ read more

I had an amazing experience at Dylan Keith Salon. From booking to leaving the salon with my hair done, everyone was so friendly and attentive. Joseph is the BEST!!!!!! I shared what I wanted and he adjusted a few things to fit what would work with my look. He used excellent products that smelled so good and left my hair feeling so healthy and shiny. The cut was amazing and most of all the blowout looked and felt soo good! Joseph took care of my white hairs and added natural looking highlights over a beautiful rich brown. I can't express how thrilled I am for the work Joseph did on my hair. I will definitely be back! Thank you, Joseph! read more

I met Joseph after I had a balayage SNAFU at another salon. He did a great job fixing my over highlighted hair with brown lowlights and a toner. The result was a significant improvement.

After my partner sent me to no fewer than 5 other barbers/salons to get my hair cut without them passing muster, I finally found Joseph at Dylan Keith Salon and he passed the test. He is excellent at cutting hair, works carefully and quickly and is responsive to any requests or feedback. The cost is more than fair compared to many other places I went to where they charged more and the service was not as good. I highly recommend Joseph for any hair needs and look forward to seeing him again! read more

I can't say enough about Bassam; his blow-dry skills are like magic. My hair is usually tricky, and I tend to get frizzy, but it lasts way longer than expected when Bassam does it. He really listens to what you want and works with your hair rather than against it. I highly recommend him if you are looking for someone who knows how to do hair. read more

Bassam is amazing. After going to several salons and stylist in the West Valley, I did a very specific search for a stylist who was familiar with many of the cutting styles my previous long-time stylist had used. I sent him pictures of my desired hair style and gave him specifics on what I was looking for. He is a true professional and is proficient on many different techniques. I asked for something edgy and he delivered. I couldn't stop smiling even before he blow-dryed and styled my hair after he cut it. I highly recommend him and will definitely be going back. Thank you Bassam!! read more
