Her styling was flawless, creative, and exactly what I needed to feel confident in front of the camera. I'm usually very hesitant to let anyone trim my hair--but Caryn earned my trust, and I'm so glad she did. The trim was perfect. She's not only incredibly skilled, but also has a warm, caring personality that makes you feel instantly comfortable. Caryn listens, understands your vision, and brings it to life with precision and artistry. She gave my hair exactly what it needed, and I already know--I'm not going anywhere else. She's officially my new stylist! If you're in Baltimore and looking for someone who truly knows hair and cares deeply about her clients, Caryn at Drylands Salon is the one. Highly, highly recommend!

I had read positive reviews for Crafted and called to make an appointment. I showed up to my appointment with my stylist, Byron. He was very friendly and took time to talk about options and figure out what would be best for my hair. I decided to take quite a lot off since warmer weather is coming and I wanted a change. He did an amazing job with my curls! I love the way they lay and look. I've had some bad experiences in the past with my hair ending up poofy when going short, but now it looks healthy and my curls are well defined. I'm excited to see Byron again soon for color which we talked about during my appointment. I definitely recommend Crafted!

I was skeptical about Lluminaire due to mixed reviews about the secretary and the pricing. To add, I've never left a review before but I felt the need to share my experience. I called to see if any salon could take me on my off day from work for a reasonable price. I wanted a partial - full highlight with face framing balayage pieces. I have medium length hair that hasn't been properly colored or cut in months. The secretary, Lisa, was helpful and informative when booking my appointment for me. She fit me in to see Layla since she had a last minute cancellation. Long story short, Layla is extremely talented and cosmetology is clearly her passion. She gave me a full consolation and even asked me to pull my mask down a little bit so she could see my bone structure and skin tone. I've never had someone so thorough do my hair! She truly earned her 'Master Stylist' title. She was professional while also down to earth, she asked me what budget I would like to stick to. I told her around $150 for the full high-light if possible. In short, Layla completely transformed my hair. She worked quickly and was extremely thorough; She wanted it to be perfect for me. She even gave me a complimentary blow dry so she could see the results of the color. Although the price is higher than I've ever paid, I really got what I paid for. I'm from a smaller town so this was definitely a new experience for me. I feel like Layla was a perfect fit for me. She didn't make me feel like she was taking advantage of me or rushing me. I appreciate how humble she is and I already have a follow up appointment booked. I don't have any great pictures of the transformation, but Leila took some. Her instagram is hairbyleilawj, the proof is in the pudding :)

I had my first curly cut with Ashley at Diaspora Salon and honestly ended up exactly where I was…read moresupposed to be. I had been putting it off for a while because curly cuts can get really expensive, especially with how popular they've become online lately, but this felt completely worth it and surprisingly affordable for the level of care and service I received. Ashley was wonderful from start to finish. She explained every product she used, what she was doing throughout the appointment, and gave me realistic guidance on how to maintain my curls at home. I never felt rushed, but I also appreciated that the appointment was efficient. I was in and out in about an hour and 45 minutes. The whole experience felt relaxing and thoughtful. Two shampoos, a head massage, great conversation, beautiful salon atmosphere. I genuinely felt taken care of. As someone with alopecia who doesn't go to salons often, trusting someone with my hair felt significant, and Ashley made me feel comfortable the entire time. I drove from Washington, DC and would absolutely do it again. I even bought products afterward because for the first time in a long time, my hair felt manageable and healthy in a way I could actually maintain myself. I'll definitely be back to see Ashley again for upkeep and maybe a fun style here and there too. Really grateful for this experience.

I booked a Curl Discovery Cut priced at $265, over $300 after tip, based on how the service is…read moredescribed and marketed: a premium, consultative experience that includes thoughtful shaping, education, and guidance tailored to the client's curl pattern. That is not what I received. I arrived with long, full, healthy hair that I had spent years growing and caring for. My hair was mid back length, and I communicated clearly that my priority was improving the shape while preserving as much length as possible. I did not request a dramatic cut. There was no thorough consultation. Yasmine hardly spoke to me throughout my appointment. She asked a few questions at the outset. There was no education component aside from attempting to sell me products at the conclusion of the service. Despite my very clear request to maintain my length, a significant amount of length was removed, far beyond what was discussed or was necessary to improve the shape of my hair. That loss is permanent. It will take years for my hair to fully recover, and there is nothing that can be done in a follow-up appointment to restore what was taken. Beyond the length loss, the cut itself lacked cohesion. It did not account for the different shrinkage rates across my curl patterns, which range from approximately 3C to 4B, and as a result the shape dried unevenly in an angular helmet shape with blunt awkward bangs, rather than nicely framing my face. The styling portion of the service further obscured the cut. Extremely heavy product was used, weighing my hair down and masking the actual shape. I was not given meaningful education or instruction on how to achieve my desired style at home, despite this being a central component of what differentiates a Curl Discovery Cut from a standard haircut. I left without clarity on how to properly style my own hair and with a result that looked nothing like what I had requested. In addition, the handling of my hair during the service was uncomfortably rough. In the days following my appointment, I experienced ongoing breakage that I had not been dealing with prior. After the appointment, I attempted to resolve the situation in good faith. The only option offered was an in-person assessment and potential adjustment under the salon's service guarantee. No refund, partial or otherwise, was considered. Given the extent of the length already removed, the lack of trust created by the initial experience, and the fact that additional cutting could not undo the damage, returning to the same chair did not feel like a meaningful or safe remedy. If they were genuinely sorry for what happened and the aspects of the service that were not delivered, they would offer a meaningful remedy, not a requirement to put my hair back into the same hands that already damaged it. After my experience, I read additional reviews and noticed a consistent pattern. Multiple clients describe receiving little to no actual consultation or education as part of the Curl Discovery Cut, despite that being a core part of how the service is marketed. Others note difficulty working with looser or mixed curl patterns, overly heavy styling that obscures the cut, failure to account for shrinkage, rough handling during detangling, and breakage following their visit. When concerns are raised, responses from ownership frequently rely on the service guarantee policy rather than acknowledging gaps in execution or offering a proportionate resolution. I am attaching photos with my face blurred showing my hair before the appointment, immediately after, and once fully dry. Based on the documentation and the irreversible nature of the length loss, I do not feel this service aligned with what was advertised or justified the premium price. I am sharing this so future clients can make an informed decision, especially those with long hair, mixed curl patterns, or those seeking true consultation, education, and careful length preservation.
