Danika was very communicative the entire cut and really delightful to chat with-- she provided me with upkeep instructions throughout and a great product recommendation. Honestly I've never been so happy with my hair and can't imagine going to anyone else while she's around. Oh and S+M has nice ambiance. Every bit of the experience felt premium from the building to the wash sinks. You should get your hair cut here, they're great.

Balance is probably great -- IF you have naturally straight hair. No good if you have literally any other texture hair. My thick, dense, curly hair was totally mishandled. I went home, showered out all the zillion little cut hairs left within my locks and on my shoulders, and then got a really good look at a really bad haircut. They made me look like an A-framed poodle having a stroke. When I went back to my usual salon I was told: "They gave you an expert haircut for somebody else -- somebody WITHOUT your hair!" Any wavy, curly, coily girls: spend your $100 elsewhere! And, lastly, let me give a preemptive no thank you: I don't need any snarky responses or a "Who, me??!" from the owners or employees of Balance who read this review. I literally do not care what they have to say in response and neither should you, curly girl fam!! xo

Hands down the best salon in Baltimore! I've tried so many salons and I've never found better…read morepeople or a better price than at Bella. Jasmyn is an artist and a magician. I show her a reference photo and what she does with my hair is always a million times more perfect than the photo it started with. She is so skilled at everything color and hair-related and on top of that, she is so freaking friendly and always has me cracking up in the chair. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Jasmyn and I am so glad I found her! Kristen, the owner and also a stylist, is so sweet and friendly. Every time I come in, she's the first to greet me and immediately makes me feel super comfortable, like I'm at a friend's house instead of a storefront. This is all due to Jasmyn's handiwork, but I've never left Bella without 100 compliments from the staff and patrons. Whether I need a quick trim or I want to completely change my look, Bella is the only salon I'll trust!

They give great descriptions of their stylists which definitely helped me with my choice. And there are so many great girls to choose from. Sam Eggleston (check her out on IG) did my hair and she was amazing! It was my first time EVER getting my hair colored and I was really nervous but she made me feel so comfortable and explained everything. And she freaking killed it! She's a junior stylist but you could never tell. This is their newer location, right on 36th St in Hampden. I would recommend trying to find the free parking on the side streets because the main street is all paid hourly parking, which isn't great for the longer color appointments. Go check this salon out!

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 arrived to my appointment on time. I didn't get a text until about five minutes later that it was time for me to come in, so I patiently waited. I walked in to find that my hairstylist was doing her own make up in the mirror of the salon. She didn't acknowledge me at all as I walked by. I waited in silence for another five minutes while she finished her make up routine. She trimmed the bottom of my ends for about 10 minutes, tried to sell me a hair product, then told the receptionist I should be charged for a cut, not a shampoo/style/cut. I wound up being charged for everything. I paid over $100 for a shampoo/style/cut even when I called the receptionist back and explained the situation. I am happy to pay full price for a haircut that lasts longer than 10 minutes and when the salon is transparent about pricing, but this interaction made me feel taken advantage of. The person who cut my hair may have been having an off day because she just seemed like she didn't want to be there and I felt like I was intruding on her personal time, while also paying her over $100. Hair is very personal for me and I felt so sad after this appointment. Stay away.
