GEORGETOWN -- While Washington is starting to enjoy the cooling temperatures brought on by the end of summer, the changing weather nevertheless hints at all of the fall fundraising festivities that will soon engulf the city. And with all of those black tie benefits comes the simultaneous need by D.C. residents for increased styling, in order to ensure that they look their best.

A well-known name among some of Washington’s more recognizable residents, Dr. Hakki’s practices in both Georgetown and Waldorf have attracted a rich clientele that includes former Miss Americas, recording artists, and a number of Washington Redskins' Hall of Famers and Washington Wizards' wives.

And Parasmo, of course, is known for his work in helping style such iconic brands as Valentino, Armani, D&G, and Versace during fashion week in Milan, as well as his celebrity clientele (former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, etc.). His eponymous salon opened in Georgetown in April of this year.
