Y'all, Elizabeth the aesthetician is LEGIT. Seriously, I learned more about my own skin during my 90 minute facial with her than I have in my 30 years on this planet. She's full of knowledge and she'll happily give you the scoop on great products for you that won't break the bank. My skin was left soft and glowing and actually brb because it's time to book my follow-up. I'm kind of bummed that I don't dye my hair anymore because so many of my friends have gotten AMAZING color done at Fringe, but c'est la vie. If I ever decide I want unicorn hair, I'll definitely be giving Laura a call. read more

I moved up to Baltimore from Florida about a year ago, so I've been so hesitant to find a salon having little to no knowledge of who to go to around here. After hearing about Fringe from a co-worker and reading the reviews here, I decided to make an appointment for a cut to take off a good amount of damaged hair from previous coloring (also it's getting hot and I wanted short hair). I didn't pick a specific stylist, so when I walked in, I was assigned to Jamie who was the first available stylist. All I have to say is I have now found my go-to stylist for as long as I live here in Baltimore! I asked for a long bob and his precision and confidence put me at ease. I left the salon feeling like a whole new person! Saying that he's amazing would be an understatement. Not only that, but everyone in the salon was very friendly and it seemed like every customer was treated like family. read more

Laura S-L-A-Y-S. Fringe might be a new salon in Remington, but Laura and her team are not at all new to the hairstyling scene in Baltimore. I've been coming (and flying from Boston to) Laura for five years now and we've been through every color, cut, and process that I can imagine. It's an absolute pleasure to walk into the salon because I always feel welcomed, cared for, and know that my hair is in good hands. The prices are reasonable (read: dirt cheap compared to Boston stylists) and the work is immaculate. Laura is not a one hit wonder-- far from it. When she styles and colors hair she is conscientious of how that process will fade out and change over time. You never get something that will look good for a few weeks and then need an immediate update. Treat yourself and come to Fringe. You won't regret it. Oh! And new clients get a 20% discount on their first go-round. read more

Fringe Baltimore - Multi-dimensional red - Hair Salons Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I have been a loyal Fringe customer since the salon opened. I've worked with several stylists including Laura and Erin. I've been seeing Melissa for the past year ever since I decided to grow my hair and wear it wavy. She is equally skilled at cut and color. This is the first time I've been able to grow my hair out in years. Previous attempts failed due to folks at other salons not understanding my hair's texture. Melissa cuts hair dry and never uses a razor on me for thinning. The results have been consistent and I can make it last for 7 weeks between appointments. Melissa is also super friendly and makes me feel so comfortable. In fact, everyone at the Salon is warm, friendly and welcoming. I've also been at the salon during the entire COVID pandemic and felt perfectly safe. Everyone wears a mask and sanitizes between clients. Also, they don't double book, so you don't have to move from your chair and sit near other people. All around Fringe is the best. @Fringebaltimore @melissathehairwizard read more

Fringe Baltimore - Hair looks great the next day after CrossFit and wearing a hat. - Hair Salons Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Always happy with my cut and color! Erin rocks & is a great problem solver & very detailed! Also a very friendly salon!

Fringe is my new go to salon! I just got a gorgeous cut by Sasha. Lovely experience in every way!

I researched online to try and find a salon with good Covid-19 safety protocols in Baltimore. Fringe has a dedicated page on their website about Covid-19 safety (at least they did as of 4/5/22): https://www.fringebaltimore.com/covid-19/ . The page has photos of staff wearing masks and says that clients are required to wear masks. When I walked into the salon, no one was wearing a mask. I didn't feel comfortable and canceled my appointment (and lost my deposit). It seems like a nice place with friendly people, but if Covid-19 safety protocols are important to you, I don't recommend this salon. They should update their website so as not to mislead people who prioritize safety protocols. read more

Melissa is a color wizard! I am never disappointed after I get up from her chair. I swear, she is the only person I trust with my color and cuts! She is great with long, thick hair and always takes her time. Would recommend her to anyone! Plus, the salon has such a fun vibe! It's a no judgement zone where you can eat all the snacks your heart desires!! read more

This place had a fun and welcoming staff in a comfortable and colourful space. Victoria was knowledgeable and attentive, helping me really get to exactly what i wanted, even if I wasn't exactly sure of what length I was looking for going in. She really took the time and helped me get to what looked best and, more importantly, what felt right for me. I felt at ease and in good hands, and I loved listening to the conversations between staff and customers. Just a lovely, punky little salon with a great atmosphere! Good location too, and I snagged a parking spot right at the corner in front of the shop. Will definitely visit again! read more

My fabulous hair stylist of 15yrs moved to Florida over four years ago, and I have not found a great colorist until today. I am very particular about the pale ash blond that I like and have yet to find anyone who understands my hair and the color I am looking for. You can imagine my frustration in the past spending a lot of money on color that is just not right. Melissa came highly recommended to me from a friend who's hair I admire. I was scared but hopeful. I explained my situation to Melissa and she stated she understood.... Who knows how many times I've heard that before. Anyway, I am pleased to say she really did understand. Whew! It was like she and I were completely in sync with one another. I let Melissa do her magic and Voila, It turned out beautiful! I am so excited to finally relax knowing I've finally found my person!!! Those with a unique color or cut will understand. Thanks Melissa and The Fringe Hair studio for making this girl feel so much lighter!!! (Literally). Great job! read more

Fabulous platinum hair with shadow root done by Melissa. Fun atmosphere and laid back. Definitely will come back!

I've trusted Laura with my hair for over a decade, and if you ever catch me looking good in public, it's all because of her. She puts in the work to keep educating herself and her team on new techniques and trends. Fringe is a welcoming, inclusive environment and I love to spend time there. read more

Today was my first time and I am so excited to go again! Marisol was my stylist and she was amazing! My hair looks and feels fabulous- she was able to blend my previous color perfectly with bright and subtle highlights throughout. My best friend even said this is the best she has seen my hair ever- that is a huge compliment as her mom used to do my hair. Everyone at Fringe is super nice and friendly- love the vibe- don't change a thing! read more

I've been here multiple times and every time I go to someone new for a new wonderful experience, I've never had a salon where I fully trust every stylist! I've had the pleasure of working with Nyla, Lauren, and Erin as of recently, I never walk out of this salon without a smile on my face. Thank you Fringe for having an amazing and personable staff, y'all the real MVPS! Yes! ALL OF YOU read more

Sam at Fringe worked miracles on my hair! I have wavy/curly hair and recently got a lob at a different salon in DC. For the first time ever, my hair wouldn't hold a curl at all and was drying completely straight. I was really bummed and confused about what was going on, and then a friend recommended Sam. She spent hours (literally hours) fixing my hair. She took the time to really listen to what I wanted changed, and then spent about 20 minutes looking at my hair dry and explained to me how the previous stylist had cut in the opposite direction of my curls, which made me feel confident that she knew what to do to fix it. She cut off almost no length, but somehow all my waves are back, and every day since, someone has complimented me on my haircut. Plus, Sam is really kind and good to talk to--and a knowledgeable and meticulous stylist. I love her and won't go anywhere else again in Baltimore! Curly haired people, go see Sam! She gets it! read more

It took me years to find a hair salon that would make me feel like family. Fringe is it. My stylist Sam Speight is a magician and has helped me ease into gray hair. She is a expert colorist and my cuts seem designed just for me. It's always a pleasure to spend time in her chair. Her talents combined with the eyebrow artistry of Elizabeth result in my leaving the salon feeling more beautiful each time. I highly recommend the salon and Sam and Elizabeth. Plus, R House is right around the corner.... read more

This is my update review, Sunday morning, two mornings after my appointment. There is a medium sized (as wide as my right hand) section from the top of my head to the bottom that is my original hair color (a warm brown), In proportion to the rest of my hair that was dyed black, that is 1/4 of the product I paid for missing. As well as a very frustrating emotion. Will I call the salon and ask for a touch up? I am not sure, I feel very cornered and I am worried I will not be championed as a client. I am uncertain whether this is permissible in the salon or not, and again uncertain the owner would support a touch up for free. If anyone knows a stylist who does rescue work, or a salon owner willing to allow a stylist to help, I'm looking for suggestions thank you ! read more

I got the best haircut at Fringe by Sam. After Trump got elected I decided to grow long hair, and it was getting pretty long and unmanageable (and as a basic guy I don't do a lot of blow drying or much goop application). I brought a picture of what I was thinking (provided by my wife) and showed it to Sam. She spent a lot of time with the scissors, and did a fantastic job. She also gave me good tips on how to take care of it without a lot of trouble. She was terrific and I'll keep going back. read more

Friendly staff, fun environment, fresh haircuts! I got my hair cut by Marisol as suggested by my friend, and they did an INCREDIBLE job. I went from long to very short hair and they asked me lots of questions to make sure I ended up with exactly what I wanted. I find their prices quite competitive with lots of other nearby salons which is a plus. Will definitely be coming back! read more

What a great place! I got my hair cut there only and they made me look fantastic but people were getting pedicures and hair coloring as well. Markiesha did my hair and she is amazing and made me look so much better then I should be looking. They do amazing work and you should see for yourself, check Fringe out on Instagram @fringebaltimore So they do amazing work but the coolest part was how awesome the people are at Fringe. It's obvious they love their job and that they are one big family. And when you are in one of the chairs, you are part of that family. It's a great place where every one is smiling. Check them out. read more

This salon is light and bright with friendly and accommodating staff. I have long, wavy hair and tend to leave salons unhappy. This was not the case after leaving Fringe! My stylist Sam gave me an amazing head massage during my shampoo. She listened to my "hair goals" and went to great lengths to assure we were on the same page before starting. Sam is detail oriented and cut my hair as if it was her own. Three weeks later and I still could not be happier with my cut. read more

I have been a loyal client of Laura's since I moved to Baltimore from Chicago 2 years ago when she was at a different salon, so to say I was over the moon, giddy, totally pumped that she was opening her own salon is an understatement. I basically had that inner Beverly Goldberg moment and screamed on the inside "THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" but I kept it together for the sake of not scaring the locals. Now I am not a natural blonde, in fact I have not been one since 1985 so finding a stylist that is an artist with god given talent isn't easy. I mean nobody wants to look like big bird when they are aiming for fashion week can I get an AMEN! Time and time again she hits it out of the park, nails it. I love hat I can say I'm looking for a specific color on a celebrity and can use words like sunny, fresh and natural and she just does wonders. Either she's a wizard or can see in my brain, maybe both and that's awesome. Laura is extremely talented and a visionary. I brought in my weave and yes I named her Blanche, to use for an updo in a wedding and Jeremy was a master and brought that old gal back to life with a quick color and toner and possible magic because it looked new. I swear. Even better having my weave re colored to match my hair color was not an issue at all. How cool is that. Another thing I love is that I can sit in Lauras chair tell her simply I like what you did last time can you tweak the color a little? You be the judge go with your gut and guess what I trust her and she slays that noise every time. Never a bad appointment for me. She's also patient, creative, flexible, talented, artistic, listens and really cares about her clients. Every single stylist in the salon is outstanding in not only there work and attention to detail (yes I'm nosy and watch other people's before and after a because it's like a live talk show and it's awesome. I know I'm shameless.) but they are all incredible friendly. It's sort of like being in Steel Magnolias at Truvy's with out Weezer and Rex. You can truly be yourself, chat and basically have a mini vacay while your there. The team/family dynamic the stylists share is palpable and truly heartwarming. They are all so supportive and helpful with each other it's very refreshing to see how well they work together and help one another succeed. I see Elizabeth for waxing, so far just my eye brows and lip because it's been a while since I pulled out the brazilian wax because to be honest childbirth scared me hit I'll get there someday soon. Anyway, Elizabeth is truly sensational, and I have been waxing my face since I was 11 so I know a good esthetician a mile a way. She's spot on with brows and lip wax not once has she botched my brows and always gets them right follows up with the right skin products to help with the post wax redness. Among Elizabeth's many talents she is truly passionate about her work and health listens, helps if there are skin issues, and can also help with suggestions for at home care. Let me tell you when your on the edge of 35 and can't afford Botox she has amazing tips and techniques to share. I have not received a facial yet from her but I have one scheduled at the end of the month to bust into my 35 birthday so I can review back then regarding that experience Elizabeth also takes great time in researching and exploring skin care products which I noticed a great deal of them are organic/non toxic and top of the line current treatments which only proves not only her love for her work but it's a true passion for her. It's a healing and happy experience leaving her table. read more

very professional and attentive! loved my balayage by sasha! she completed what i wanted and was very nice!

I've been to Fringe and had my hair cut and styled by Laura at least thrice now and have consistently received compliments (some even from strangers). Give Fringe a shot, you won't regret it! It's a welcoming space and the folks there really do care about their customers. read more

First time here, I'm still trying to find a salon in Baltimore. I met with the stylist, Mark, beforehand and we talked for 5-10 minutes about what I wanted. She asked specific questions and got specific answers. "Do you want layers?" "No." And yet, as she's finishing up the back she says, "I know you said no layers but I did them anyway because your hair is so thin." I explained that I said that because when my hair is short (we took off about 7") it needs the weight, otherwise it flips out all over the place. She didn't seem apologetic at all, odd for completely disregarding your clients wishes. A month later, I'm still annoyed that I need to deal with this every morning only because she decided not to listen. You're the stylist, and if you thought layers would be better, bring it up to me and we can discuss, don't just do it not knowing why I didn't want that. I have to drive 3 hours back home to my old stylist to get it fixed. Irritating that I paid $80+ just to be ignored by her and then hate my haircut. read more

I came here because Markiesha moved to this salon and I could not let her go. So this review is more about her: I have difficult, thick, curly, Arab hair (everyone who has the same knows the struggle) and have been through many hairdressers who promised me they could deal with it. She actually can. So, for all my Arab girls and bros out there: remember last time you went to Lebanon and they totally transformed you from a little ball of fuzz into some sort of Beyoncé or Prince Charming? Markeisha does it, she does it better and faster and your hair will hold up to the Baltimore humidity. Also: apart from being really good at what she does, she is also super sweet. Just tell her what you want, what it is that you know your hair does and she will take care of it (and hasn't forgotten anything about my particular head since we met two years ago). read more

exemplary service! laura, hair mastress who made my hair the beautiful dusty mauve it had always longed to be! the color lasted longer than i had expected too! please remember to be kind and tell a knock-knock joke to expert scalp scratcher meghan whilst she shampoos you! i am so happy fringe is within walking distance of my residence! i recommend this salon very highly! read more

Laura (and the rest of the staff) was great! I will definitely be coming back to Fringe for my next cut!! Highly recommend this hair studio for any gender/race/age! read more

Best salon ever! Very friendly group of people and relaxed atmosphere. Also, the most perfect haircut I've ever gotten! I wanted to keep my length, but somehow Laura managed to make my hair look longer and a thousand times more awesome. So thankful for this local salon! read more

I've gone to Fringe a hand full of times and had wonderful service. My hair always looks incredible, but lately my appointments have been less than enjoyable. The salon is a sacred place where therapy sessions often ensue, sure, but the content from the owner as of late has completely ruined my experience at this salon. Her conversations with her clients have been bordering on unprofessional. The topic of weight loss is extremely touchy for a lot of people, especially women, and my last visit I heard nothing but her obsession with it. There's a sign in the window that boasts this salon is a safe space but the constant conversations about weight do not make me feel welcome or comfortable as a larger woman and I can't imagine the effect on people who have battled with eating disorders. She is a very talented stylist, as is her whole staff, and it would be a shame to lose clients over something like conversation topics at work. read more

Fringe is amazing and Laura is phenomenal. She's been doing my hair (cut & highlights) since 2014 and I'm thrilled she has opened her own salon. She and Jamie have created a really special space with a great team (Jamie, Markeshia, and Sam are crazy good too). The salon regularly posts pictures of their client's hair on Instagram (FringeBaltimore) so make sure to check it out if you'd like to get a better feel for what they can do (ANYTHING!) or just want some hair inspiration. I'm not as funky and fun as some of their clients- I call my hair "basic" while Laura says "classic", but we have been on a journey of different variations of blonde over the past 3 years and she never disappoints. She is an incredibly thoughtful colorist- it truly is a craft for her. She took me pretty close to platinum blonde last summer without damaging my hair and when I thought I wanted to venture into ombre territory last fall, she talked me into something less drastic that better suited my complexion. Today she freshened up my highlights and smacked on a toner. I went home a strawberry blonde and its glorious. Bottom line - no matter what blonde I choose my color is always perfectly blended and "fades" gloriously. I've gone months between coloring. Fringe is the place to go if you want fabulous hair that is "natural" or one of the brightest colors in the rainbow. read more
