This time I visited Grapevine for hair trim and hair color. I got sun-kissed/partial highlights on the crown section only, in the color honey/caramel/walnut. Katie had colored my hair before so she just matched the top portion of my hair to the bottom. So basically she had to color only a quarter portion of the total length of my hair. Katie is an expert and I'm very satisfied with her services. Grapevine has increased their rates, so, hair trimming is now $60 and highlights is $90. They didn't increased their rates for s long time until now. I guess they deserve it for all the effort and care they put in to make you look pretty. I don't know about others, but I prefer to give them between 20-25% tips. read more

I wanted an experienced stylist to take care of my big cut - I was chopping off 15 inches! I told Danny I wanted an A line haircut and he knew exactly how to treat my hair. I LOVE IT. I couldn't be happier with my cut, especially since it's such a big cut. The salon itself felt very Baltimore with how friendly everyone was and how homey the studio felt. I would recommend anyone looking for a good cut to try going to Grapevine! read more

Grapevine Hair Studio - The results of the cut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

You never want to leave a hair salon looking worse than you did when you walked in...but that is what happened to me when I went to Grapevine. I called the salon and requested an appointment--noting on the call that I was a new client and that I had long, curly hair. I was the first appointment of the following day and things got off to a pleasant start. During the consultation I explained that I didn't want too much length cut off and my stylist respected that throughout my haircut. Unfortunately, once it was time to blow my hair dry it was clear that he was rushing and distracted by the arrival of the next client. My stylist hurriedly blew my hair out until it was (mostly) dry--leaving it incredibly rough and unpolished. Then he mentioned "The next time you make an appointment mention how much hair you have so that I can reserve more time." Initially, I thought this was a fair request but I DID mention that I was both a new client and that I had long, curly hair when I called for my appointment. From there, I was rushed out the door feeling grateful that my hair was not cut shorter than I wanted it to be but really disappointed in the style. I don't have anything against anyone in the salon but I felt obligated to share my experience so that others don't get their hopes up as high as I did about going there. One, it's not the customer's responsibility to ensure enough time is reserved--it's the receptionist's job to collect the necessary information and schedule accordingly. Two, even without the time issue I'm not sure I would have been happy with my blow out because the stylist's approach was totally crude. This is a 2-star salon benefiting from being located in a 3-star part of town and having 4/5-star loyalty from just the right number of reviewers to rise to the top of a Yelp search. I really, really hate writing less than stellar reviews but I appreciate others sharing their experiences to save me from bad ones..so, there you have it. read more

I went to see Jennifer for the first time yesterday hoping to get my hair color matched to my roots, and she did an amazing job! I also love the cut she gave me. I'll definitely be going back! read more

I really wanted to like this place. They were super accommodating in helping me get an appointment quickly. I got Katie doing a cut for me. I thought that she did a good job with the consultation, giving me some good suggestions for fun/cute ways to change up my look, but also something that I wouldn't regret. I liked that she gave me face framing layers and blunt bangs, also telling me how to blow-dry them on the fly. However, I didn't think that she took enough off with the length, and went back the next day for her to fix. She gave me a dry cut, that seemed a bit hurried and not all though careful. I thought it was fine (given I can't really see the back of my hair). However, I have another friend who does hair, and when she was looking over my hair, she noticed that the bottom of my hair wasn't cut evenly -- there were a few stray pieces that were noticeably longer than the rest of my hair. Probably from the dry cut. She also said that the layers weren't that well done. They weren't blended in well. I think that my friend is great with hair, and I trust her opinion. Overall, I think that they do a good job with the consultation, and probably a decent job with cuts, but it may not be that refined. It's good for a quick cut, or if you keep your expectations in line... read more

Really cool, nice people. It's a small, cute place with three hairstylists. I used them for wedding hair and makeup for a group of 5 and they made everyone look beautiful! Jen and Daniel were awesome with updo's and Katie was great with makeup. It's a small place, so for most of the time we were the only ones there and we were allowed to bring food and drinks. Should have brought mimosas, but my girls were already hungover from the night before and couldn't really take anymore (and I definitely did not want them taking a stumble on the grass aisle!). All my girls were very happy with their looks. I do believe my trial run was better than the actual day, but it might be because Katie and Jen were exhausted from working on 4 girls previous to me, but I was happy nonetheless. Brides go last so that their makeup and hair are the freshest, but the makeup and hair stays set all day and night. So, if I could do it again, I would go first so that I can get the most energy and attention out of the makeup artist and hairstylist. I got to see other people get haircuts during my trial run and at my wedding day, and the cuts were all trendy and fresh...lots of layers, volume. The stylists definitely tailored the cuts to the clients' wants and wishes. I plan on visiting again for a regular haircut. read more

Grapevine Hair Studio - War of the Worlds! - Hair Salons Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

So I went to Grapevine Hair Studio for the first time two years ago when I moved to Baltimore. I had walked by a few times to see some friendly faces, so when it got to the point where I really needed a haircut, I poked my head in and made an appointment. If you are one of the ladies out there with super thick and frizzy hair (you know who you are), then you know finding the right stylist can be difficult, because few know what cuts "work" for thick hair and how to do them right. If you're like me, you've "been around the block" only to end up looking like you're wearing a bike helmet or like a member of the Hairspray cast. And I love John Waters' style, don't get me wrong, but that sort of hair can be dangerous with the summer humidity around the harbor and risk of getting struck by lightning at a Patterson Park concert. Now, you are going to think I am pretentious but I am going to "tell you true" as my Sicilian mother-in-law says: Prior to moving to Baltimore, I got my hair cut at Vidal Sassoon. I wanted the perfect bob, and let's face it, they invented it, so I figured why reinvent the wheel? So I shelled out a ridiculous $100+ per cut. And their cuts were beyond excellent. JUST NOT AS EXCELLENT AS KATIE'S! I have been so impressed not only by Katie's mastery and professionalism as a stylist, but also her ability to create the perfect classic bob. She can certainly do the funkier styles as well - this gal has got it all going on - but she gets to know the personalities of her clients and respects when you want to go the more classic route. She has created by far the best styles I've had in my 33 years, and that is a lot to say, as I've lived all over the United States and boy am I picky. Not only that, but Katie and the rest of the staff are incredibly courteous and make you feel at home, so going there is totally relaxing and fun. I always try to schedule appointments beforehand, but when things pop up, they are always able to fit me in last-minute. And not in a condescending sort of way, but in a spin-around-the-chair, don't worry 'hon, what-are-we-doing-today sort of way. Katie and her husband Daniel are just amazing human beings. I would highly recommend this studio to all the Yelpers out there. Thank you, Katie, for keeping me looking my best - and my '60s bob silky smooth. Cheers, Melissa read more

Okay, I never write bad reviews about places. I always try to give them a second chance, but this is an exception for me. First of all, Im not from Baltimore, I just moved here, and Ive had platinum blonde hair for YEARS. I read amazing reviews about this place so I made an apt. From the bat, they gave me a hard time. They wanted me to come in for a consultation JUST to schedule the apt, so they could see my hair.I explained I work 85 hrs a week, 30 min away, and I need to schedule an apt b/c I had an event coming up, after 30 minutes on the phone, they allowed me to. First headache over. Then, I get in there, keep in mind I had light brown hair with blonde highlights and was trying to go back to bleach blonde, a feat many hair stylists of done for me in my lifetime in one sitting. They tell me its going to take 3 times, but they'll do their best. First, they strip my hair. Then, they put bleach directly onto my scalp, no foils, nothing. after 5 minutes, Im holding back tears it hurts so bad. The girls next to my stylist noticed the pain Im in, and told him to take the bleach off, he got rude and said "well, shes gonna have orange hair!". I allowed him to leave it and told him I'd rather hurt than walk out looking like a pumpkin. I withstood almost 25 minutes of mind altering pain. I was gripping the bench it hurt so bad, even after they washed it off, the pain didnt subside. he swore it wasnt burning me, but two days later, I had scabs all over my head. And we're talking major scabs from burns. Thank goodness I have a doctor in the family and was able to get burn mediction without a drs apt, or there would have been more money down the drain. By the end of the day, and yes he did spend all day on me, which was his doing not mine( and he keeps saying its my fault b/c I had black hair- he got that from me telling him that 6 months earlier I'd died my hair black- I walked in there after 2 corrective treatments, MY HAIR WAS LIGHT BROWN WITH BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS), he says due to all that, its THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. I wanted to say a lot to this, like you never even saw me with black hair, and you burned the hell out of me, and this blonde looks like dogshit, but I was in so much pain and so upset that I did the classy thing and simply smiled and pretended I wasnt upset. To relieve the second bit of pain he'd caused me, he gave me two bottles of expensive products. When I got up to the counter to pay, I bent over to go into my wallet, and a bottle suddenly disappeard when I picked my head up. The counter girl had taken my bottle back! I almost said something, but I'd been through enough for one day. I got home and realized I had orange ALL in the underside of my hair. My hair was fried worse than it ever had been in my life. And two months later, ITS STILL FRIED, even after 5 corrective treatments, shampooing once a week, and deep conditioning three times a week. Im italian. I have the most durable, porous hair anyones ever seen. All my friends are stylists. so I know my stuff. I cant speak for every stylist there, but the guy that did my hair really messed mine up. Maybe he was having a bad day, maybe he was tired, but theres no excuse in the world to charge someone 300 dollars for a head full of scabs and orange fried hair,. Normally I would go in and give them a chance to fix it, but I wouldnt let this place touch my again. I couldnt even get it fixed b/c it was so destroyed, my regular salon is FINALLY willing to go in and try to fix it after two months. That tells you how bad it was and still is. If you're a blonde: please do NOT allow this place to touch your hair. Every one makes mistakes, but theres no excuse to charge someone 300 dollars when you make one, and not acknowledge that you've burned the hell out of them. Scary, awful, PAINFUL experience. read more

Jen is excellent! Her staff is super friendly, knowledgable & fun! I have been a client for 10+ years! I bring my two girls & they only let Jen trim their hair! This is a great salon with lots of talented stylists!! read more

Hip and professional Canton salon. Jen is the only one who has never messed up my previouly inconsistent haircuts. Katie, Jen, and Daniel work wonders with womens' color and style, as evidenced by my high maintenance wife. Sort of just kidding! Grapevine's crew travels to NYC and to Vegas for Aveda education and free stuff. Parking is easy, they have tons of personality, and you'll look good. read more

An OK haircut is no excuse for the unprofessionalism I've always experienced there. I have given Grapevine my business and just thought that eventually they wouldn't make me feel like I was infringing on their time by getting a simple haircut. I've never wanted anything extensive and maybe that's why I was just never worth their time. I made a point to say repeatedly the last time I was in that I wanted just an "in between cuts" trim. They proceeded to charge me full price and did so in an unprofessional and assuming manner. I'm more than willing to pay for a haircut, but we discussed multiple times that I didn't want a haircut, just a trim. I won't be going back to a place that doesn't seem to want my business and can't be bothered to treat a paying customer professionally. read more

I've been going to grapevine for three years, which is saying a lot - I am the first to jump ship on a salon that I'm not totally in love with. As a full-blown brunette who is not a full-blown blonde, I obviously present a challenge to any hair dresser. By Danny does an amazing job every time - people actually think I'm blonde, which is a pretty top-notch compliment to his skills. Love the super laid back vibe - no pretensions, no stuffiness. read more

I have been going to Grapevine for a couple of years, and LOVE it. I have pretty fine hair, and have had some not so great experiences with stylists in the past. However, Daniel is fantastic. He is a genius with color, and even better with his cuts. I wish I could take him everywhere with me, because I always leave looking fabulous. I now live in Severna Park, but still plan on making the drive to Baltimore just to see him! The salon itself is laid back, not pretentious and just has a great vibe. read more

I found Grapevine Hair Studio after the very emotional and challenging one-year marking of the passing of my hair stylist and friend of nearly 10 years. Since that loss, I have had my hair done by 4 other stylists (more than once for a few of them) and have left each appointment feeling frustrated. Frustrated not by just the stylists, but by my own inability to describe what i want because for nearly 10 years my hair guy just knew what to do and i was flexible and trusted his judgement. After reading a few reviews I decided to try Danny at Grapevine, i am in Baltimore a lot and the location is convenient to where i stay. When i entered the salon i really liked the vibe and Danny was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable. He colored my hair and freshened up my hi-lights avoiding the red and brassiness that my naturally dark hair so wants to be. The cut turned out to be a little shorter than what i asked for and i think what even he expected but i really believe it needed the cut as the last person had made some pretty obvious errors with my hair. That being said, i have had many many compliments about my hair since my May 5th appointment and am really happy with it, it is short and i do well with short hair and this razor cut and style gives me some diversity, i have styled it a few different ways and as it grows out a little will be able to change things up even more. I would highly recommend Grapevine Hair Studio, Danny did a great job and I will be back again! read more

I have been going to Grapevine for at least 5 years,had a pixie,leopard,blue,updos,raven purple,black,you get the drift. ALWAYS have great service,low key vibe,professional and knowledgeable three person staff. Collaborate well together with combined yesrs of experience. This is a fantastic salon,and i'm a cynical person as a rule :). read more

Jenn is professional, knowledgable and smart about what makes sense for color, style, texture, age, and her customer's practical ability at styling their own hair. I have thick, coarse hair and looked for two years in Baltimore for someone who could work with me. Jenn has never been moody or late. She is creative but also grounded in practicality. Since going to Grapevine, people actually stop me on the street to tell me how much they love my color, cut, and style and ask me where I get my hair cut! read more

Great cut for a very reasonable price. Really cool people, not at all pretentious, very comfortable and hip decor and music. Will definitely go back. read more

Danny is an incredible hairstylist and colorist. I have been going to him for about a year and have to say that I haven't been happier coming out of a salon in my life until he did my hair. When he cuts hair it's almost like the scissors are his third arm it is so natural for him. A real artist! And I think best hairstylist in Baltimore; hands down! read more

Horrible. I went there based on all the good reviews. I brought pictures and explained what I wanted. All she did was cut bangs when I specifically said "no bangs." waste of money an a horrible hair cut. I could have done a better job. read more

I walked in hoping for a decent haircut and I walked out absolutely transformed! This is hands down the best cut I've ever had! She listened to my needs, and boy did she deliver! I highly recommend Jennifer! read more

When I first moved to Baltimore I was looking for a shiek, stylish place to get my hair done where people knew what they were doing and were up to date on the latest styles and hair color ! Grapevine is that place. Katie, Jen and Daniel are awesome stylists and the atmosphere is the best! If you are looking for a new salon look no further! read more

I botched my first time ever dying my hair one day and I was saved by the team at Grapevine. It all began with Danielle, she was uber knowledgeable and friendly. The three stylist worked together so well, building off each other and creating awesome cuts and colors. I love my hair and hold it with high regard, but it was easy once I met Katie to let her loose on my locks. She gave a clear and reassuring consultation. Katie was able to create a frizzy cartoon blond hair color into a piece of show stopping platinum blond and professionally appeasing lilac highlights. I am so thankful I listened to the reviews and went to Grapevine... I know that I will have no problem suggesting this place to anyone. read more

Absolute best hair cut! I decided to donate my hair so I wanted a short, stylish cut and that's exactly what I received. Great atmosphere, great people, I can't wait to go back :o) read more

I called for an appointment at Grapevine after reading so many good reviews. I was given an appt with Daniel and feel like I completely lucked out. He took the time to listen to me when I first arrived and was very considerate about what I wanted, he provided his professional opinion but never lost sight of what I told him was important to me. He did an amazing job with my hair. I have somewhat thick and long hair and he cut it beautifully. He gave me great long angles that really worked well with my face. Everyone in there was beyond friendly and talkative. I've found my permanent hair salon in Canton! read more

I went here and Katie totally changed my hair for the better. I drove the whole way from DC to get my hair done here and it was totally worth it. She gave me great color and a wonderful cut!! My appointment was in March and my hair still looks just as good. She gave me great hair tips that I use every day. read more

By far, the best salon I have ever went to. Having a bad experience recently, made me realize how much i love grapevine. Hands down, they will change your life. read more

I've been looking for a good hair stylist to do my highlights and a good cut! Tried a few places in Baltimore and been very disappointed. Finally checked out Grapevine and i'm SO glad that i do not need to look any further. This place is great! Katie was amazing, she is efficient, precise and overall an incredible hair dresser. I couldn't be happier with my experience at the salon as well. I would highly recommend to anyone and I will definitely be back!!! Hope this helps if you're on the fence about a current stylist or if you're new to the area and need a great Salon you can trust!! -X read more

Upon relocating to Baltimore, I was looking for a new stylist and salon to help me revamp a tired look. I like edgy haircuts with color that is both bold and sophisticated, and many salons I've dealt with in the past, while they've done a good job, haven't gone edgy enough or bold enough for me. That has all changed with Grapevine. My first visit was in June 2013, and I met with Katie beforehand to do a consult about color and cut. She worked with me throughout, and on the day of my cut and color gave me an awesome, edgy cut with a style of bangs I didn't know I wanted (but totally did!) She uses a bright red on my hair that starts out a bold ruby color and fades to a lovely auburn that really pops in the sunshine. She also helped me find some products to keep my hair looking its best for the three to four months of abuse I typically put it through before finding my way back to Grapevine. I had my third cut-and-color at Grapevine last month, and was just as pleased as ever. Each cut is a little different and a little more edgy, and the color is awesome as ever. I couldn't be happier with the services I receive there. The price is, in my opinion, competitive with other salons in the same area, and since I have never found a place that can do such a bright and long-lasting red color on me, I consider it an especially good value. Katie has also offered to do interim bang trims for me, and though I haven't taken her up on that (because I am lazy) I think it's pretty awesome. Also, at my first appointment, she used two colors, a slightly different one on my bangs. When the color on my bangs started fading faster than the rest of the color a week later, she re-dyed my bangs to the same color as the rest of my hair (at my request) and didn't charge me extra. I thought this was especially kind of her since the fading might have only been my imagination. Normally I would go over the negative points of my experience, but I honestly don't have much negative to say about Grapevine. As a logistical note, I would recommend to those who are driving in to leave extra time to find parking in Canton, especially on weekend afternoons. To make a long story short, if you communicate well with your stylist, you're likely to have a very good experience at Grapevine. I have never been disappointed. read more

jenn is awesome-- she did a wonderful Job on cut and color - i left feeling like a new person with a fresh look- very accommodating and fit me in quick highly recommend to all -- great atmosphere and great people- read more

For about seven years, I have had my frizzy, curly, graying, cow-licky, dark hair cut, colored, keratin straightened, styled, highlighted, lowlighted, blown dry, and otherwise taken care of at Grapevine, almost exclusively by Danny but with occasional expert fill-ins by Katie and Jen. Before Daniel started styling my hair, I had always had trouble finding a stylist who could offer me a stylish cut that also worked with my largely unmanageable hair. But I've never had a bad haircut at Grapevine, always had terrific color services, and I know I can rely on the stylists to do a good job, whether I'm wearing my hair short or long. Danny can work a blow-dryer like a magic wand. My hair is healthier and better-looking now than when I was 20. Because I have been going to Danny for so long, I sometimes go short on direction and just let Danny figure out how to best achieve an overall goal, but he has been open and responsive when I have been more specifically directive (like before a job interview). I enjoy the atmosphere at Grapevine--welcoming, unpretentious, and casual, but fully professional when it comes to hair. While I sometimes buy products there, I don't feel any pressure to do so and have been alerted by the stylists to inexpensive products at the drugstore that can be great for my quirky hair. I generally spend at least an hour and often longer for my appointment, and it's worth the time, despite my schedule being hectic--plus it's relaxing and nice to chat with the people there. read more

went in for a hair and makeup trial for my wedding based on J.C.'s review. my experience was not so great... it seemed like katie was annoyed because i came in late and my hair was a little damp. there was a huge accident a few miles in front of me, as i was coming up and i sat on 95 for about 25 minutes, i called and left a message letting them know. as soon as i got there, i let them know that we did not need to do the makeup trial since i was late, but she said she had time to do it. i showed katie the picture of what i wanted, and she said she could do it. she put my hair up with curls on the sides. the curls DID NOT look anything like the curls in the picture. ofcourse, she blamed my hair, she said it was because i needed a haircut/ layering around my face, i wish she would've told me this BEFORE she said she COULD do it. whatever, i just ended up asking her to put all of my hair up in a mid bun without the curls i liked. this looked fine, it was really simple, and i was happy with it. again, not exactly what i wanted, but at that point we moved onto the makeup. the studio is poorly lit, there is a tiny window next to the area she did my makeup, but it really is not enough light. the whole process seemed a bit rushed, as katie's next client came in during the middle of the application. i did not like the shadow she used so i asked her for something lighter, she seemed annoyed again) she changed it. it was fine, and i didn't feel comfortable asking her questions. she seemed hungry and annoyed. i thought the way she spoke to the receptionist seemed a bit rude, she had her pick up some fast food for the crew. i also asked her to curl my lashes as she did not. i saw myself in the mirror in the car, and i looked like i had a halloween mask on, the foundation did not match my face at all. do not go here for makeup if you are asian. i called to see if she could match me better, but she informed me that she had to tend to her client there, and reminded me that it was my fault that i was late. she also told me that i could bring in my makeup for the day of my wedding. two hours after the trial, i had racoon eyes. it was pretty bad...needless to say I did have anything to do with her following the trial. read more

Katie has been my hair stylist for the past five years, so of course I wanted her to do my hair and makeup for my recent wedding. She did a test run a month or so before the wedding, and offered to make changes, but none were needed. Katie and her husband, Danny, traveled to Delaware to do my and my bridesmaids' hair and makeup on my wedding day, and they did an amazing job--every one of us felt beautiful and they were able to re-create the inspirations we showed them. It was a long day, but Katie and Danny got it done, and done well, all while helping to maintain a calm and fun vibe in the bridal suite. I highly recommend! read more

Just had my first cut and color with Jenn and I am super happy. I've only ever had one person color my hair and so I was extremely nervous but she did a fantastic job. She was also super accommodating to my schedule. I will be back for sure! read more

I won a gift card here through a raffle and decided it would be fun to try out. My best hair decision of all time. I got highlights and a cut done. I have never received so many compliments on my hair! It looks better than it ever has. Jennifer was also great about recommending products that would work well for me. Definitely have her do your hair! read more

Jen is the best! She crafted some beautiful looks for my daughter's 2014 wedding & has been doing my cut & color (and my mother's) ever since. It's a rare stylist who can satisfy 3 generations of customers! My mom is the only one of her peers who doesn't have 'old lady hair' - all due to Jen who knows how to make you look your best no matter your age. read more
