She is super sweet and friendly!

Erik spent almost 5 hours on me for my color correction. I never thought I'd cry over my hair, but Erik took his time to figure out how to correct someone else's work. It turned out amazing, and I don't have to hide my hair in a bun anymore! I'm new to Baltimore and have been trying out a few hairstylists without any success, and the last color job was a total wreck. I was nervous but Cheryl made sure I was paired up with a stylist that could help me. She was amazing . I love this salon and I'm glad I found this place.

Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Nick Miller. I was scheduled for a blowout this Saturday with Nick and after seeing the disaster state of my hair color he made time for a partial balayage that came out fabulous! He was attentive, kind and when I was in a huge pinch he was reliable. He did such a wonderful job with the color I'm getting a ton of compliments. I usually pull more of a yellow tone and he was able to pull a cooler blonde effortlessly.
This was my first time at this salon and it was very clean. I'll be returning because I'm in love with my color!! Thank you so much Nick!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I went with my girlfriend and waited hours for nothing. They couldn't dye her hair and that's time I'll never get back. They also made me get up from one of the two waiting chairs because I wasn't a "costumer" even though I was paying for my girlfriend. I had to wait outside in the cold because I couldn't stand being in there.

Downgrading my review after my latest experience. Between having a baby and quarantine I have been without a haircut or color for nearly 4 months. After reopening was finally announced, I booked as soon as possible and completed the questionnaire as instructed.
I was excited to finally get my hair done and regain some sense of normalcy and self-esteem after the roller coaster of the past few months. I'd even chatted with my stylist briefly, who was also excited to return to work and catch up with one another after so long.
Why then did management call me on a Wednesday to cancel a Sunday appointment? Judy, an owner, explained to me that my stylist, who had been at this location for 15 years (which is saying something in an industry that seems to benefit from ample competition) was suddenly "no longer with us." This seemed very peculiar to me, since my stylist seemed genuine in her eagerness to return to Studio 921 and her clients.
In their defense Judy offered me a spot with another stylist, however, it seemed wrong to deny my regular stylist much needed income and gratuity during an unprecedented time for small businesses, especially since I suspected that it was not her choice to end the relationship, based on the suddenness of the cancellation and my stylist's seeming readiness and willingness to return to work.
Surely, management should have been able to arrange for longtime clients and backlogged services to be rendered before ending the relationship. I understand if unprofessional or dangerous behavior necessitates swift severing of affiliations, but I highly highly doubt my stylist would have done anything of the sort. I could be wrong, but it seems unlikely. I am on the schedule with another stylist but resent the awkward position I've now been put in as a client. And it will be another month until I can get a cut and color. Very questionable.

I'm still getting cuts and color here and I'm still very happy with Rachael P's work. I always look forward to visiting 921. The front desk is still too tall to see behind when you come in, but I'm happy to report that it's been much easier to book appointments than it was in the past.
When I look around the salon, things are quite clean and the other stylists seem to be doing high quality work as well. I don't see other clients leaving unhappy or quibbling with the front desk, from what I can tell. I really appreciated the 15% off I received after checking in via Yelp.
Best times to come are Sundays and mid-week mornings. Oh and the lighting in here is great for seHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

Hi Maggie, Thank you for your honest, heartfelt review. I am truly sorry we had to cancel/reschedule your appointment. I certainly feel your frustration, especially after having a baby (Congratulations!), a quarantine, AND not being able to see the hairstylist you love. Please know, it was a very difficult decision for us as she has been with us for well over 10+ years and we did not take this lightly. I am glad you are coming back in to see Angel in July. Angel has been with us since we opened and I am confident you will be pleased. We look forward to seeing you again and please reach out to me any time for any feedback, questions or concerns.

I've entrusted my hair to Rachael Pietra and I highly recommend her. She will be honest with you about your hair type and what is possible and what is not, which is important. She still does a full consult with me each time I come in even though she is very familiar with my hair and my preferences. She is very punctual but does not rush her work.
I can't give 5 stars because of the following issues:
-It's hard to get someone to pick up the phone.
-The front desk is nice looking but it's so tall that you can't see if someone is there to check you in or not when you arrive. Need taller chairs or a shorter desk. - Kyle P.Newport, RI22043Jul 9, 2021
Joe did an amazing job cutting and lightening my hair! He was quick, super precise, and did an incredible job. I came in with long brown hair, and left with a great cut and a perfect blonde color! Can't recommend this place enough, and the price is an absolute steal.

I have been going to Sylvia for 13 years for color and cut. She does a great job with both. I had been to other salons here in Huntsville and could not always rely on my hairdresser being there. Another problem I had was having to wait after my appointment time or during my appointment time. This does not happen with Sylvia. She has never missed an appointment and there is no waiting after or during my appointment time.

My daughter and I came in for a last minute facial with Jill. It was a wonderful experience. Not only did she give us the best facials, she also gave us both very solid advice on how to maintain our skin. I can't wait to come back. Worth the drive from DC.

The two hardest things when moving to a new city is finding your go-to Chinese take-out and finding someone to cut your hair. I'm still working on the former, but a year and a half later I finally found my salon in Baltimore.
Once I got an appointment with Kasee I knew she would be my girl. She was super easy to talk to and was very helpful with suggestions to fulfill my need for (small) change in my hair style. A few hours and a balayage treatment later, I am a satisfied customer.
The salon is pretty big and I love the urban warehouse look it has to it. It's a one stop shop for all beauty needs: hair, nails, waxing, you name it. They also offer wedding services on and off site.
Bring cash for your tip! They will happily accept credit cards for services but prefer cash tips so come prepared.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0
