Biographical/historical note
Abed [David] Salam Itani was born in Beirut, Lebanon to Khalil and Nadia Itani in 1952 as the first of nine children. At age 21 in 1977, in order to escape the Lebanese Civil War, David moved to Saudi Arabia where he struggled to work as a hairdresser due to prohibitions against men fixing women's hair. He briefly returned to Lebanon in 1978 before moving to Dubai, while his parents and six siblings moved to Australia to also escape the violence of the Lebanese Civil War. In Dubai, David met an American named Faye who moved from North Carolina and in 1984 they were wed and had a daughter named Natalie. The family eventually moved to North Carolina, where David and Faye had a second child named Khalil and in 1987 opened a salon in Raleigh, North Carolina. With their move, the family became involved with the Triangle Lebanese Association.
