I was recommended by a friend who is a long time customer and truly cannot recommend enough! From the moment you enter you're greeted and spoken to so kindly! I showed Minya a few reference pictures, mentioned how my hair is in between a perm, and she said she got it and worked her magic. She checked in throughout the process for length, weight, and style. Blow dried and even had time to curl in less than an hour! The space has been updated since the pictures and is super modern/clean. 10/10 would go again. It's hard to find people who are willing and understand how to layer thick asian hair and she made me feel so comfortable. Also the prices are the best you can find in Baltimore! No serious up charges and upfront pricing. read more

Minya is the best. Offers a great professional cut & blowout at a fraction of the price as competitors. Even without the price difference I would still go to her as she's incredibly talented. Highly recommend! Call in advance for appointment as she books up fast. read more

I came here for a trim. Wash + cut + blow dry was $50. I called in for my appointment about a week before and they did have earlier openings but they didn't work with my schedule. They do accept walk ins and the vibe was very old school and friendly. I've been here twice now and have enjoyed my experience both times. read more

Everything was just right, the service and the cut. Will be back. I loved how friendly they were and the vibe. My first time and was very satisfied read more

AWESOME highlights and cuts every time! I have been coming here for a few years and have never been disappointed. Great results, friendly and timely service, and more than reasonable prices. Love this place! Love the whole experience! read more

I had been looking for a salon in Baltimore for months and wanted to choose a place that would do a good job at a reasonable price and kept me safe during the pandemic. I booked an appointment the same day I called, which was great because it was short notice. Virginia greeted me and shampooed my hair, which felt absolutely amazing. Then Euthoxia cut my hair. I showed her the so pictures of a length I liked and she immediately got to work and it was absolutely perfect when she finished, exactly what I wanted and I barely even told her what I had in mind! I told her I had an anniversary date that night, so she curled my hair and made it look amazing. The ladies were all so friendly and talkative, it made me feel very comfortable. I will absolutely be making this my go to salon in the city and I've been recommending it to friends since my appointment! read more

Studio 1622 Hair Salon - Fresh hair cut and curls! - Hair Salons Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I'd been looking for a place in Baltimore to get my haircut and saw the reviews here so thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately the staff members at Studio 1622 are extremely rude and unprofessional. I definitely will not be going back!! When I walked in for my 4:30 appointment this afternoon, I was rudely told "your appointment was at 4" in a nasty tone. I was super surprised and apologized. However, I know for a fact it was 4:30 because I had confirmed the appointment time. I also have classes until 4pm so I would never have scheduled a 4pm appointment. Ugh. Even if I had accidentally messed up the times (which I am 100% sure I didn't), that's no way to treat a customer! I wasn't even greeted. I briefly considered staying in the waiting area, but it was dark and poorly lit, and the hairdressers were talking loudly and dropping expletives. I realized it was dumb to pay $30 to be insulted like this so I left without a haircut. Also on a side note, when I called yesterday to confirm my 4:30 appt, they told me they do NOT accept credit cards, only underhand cash, venmo, or zelle. -__- So yes, I had a 4:30 appt, not 4pm!!! read more

Second appointment here and I got a balayage and cut. I am extremely happy with the job Minya did! She understood exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I can't wait to come back! read more

First time this morning...and LOVE THIS PLACE!! Warm, friendly, down to earth stylists. My hair came out perfect (cut & perm) & reasonably priced. Love being able to support a local small business as well! Thanks again Ladies!!! read more

After a long, exhaustive search, trying to find a barbar shop that does men's hair in Baltimore, I came across this salon. I am new to Baltimore, so I am still trying to find my way around and find my local businesses. Apparently, at least right now, because of Covid, all hair salons require an appointment. Most seemed to be fully booked if you call the day of. These folks were kind enough to fit me in same day. Their pricing was reasonable (everything costs more in Baltimore, but they were pretty good). It was nice to get my hair cut, as it was getting long. This is the first haircut I have gotten in the US since Covid. I usually get my haircut in Medellin or Cali, and if I cannot get there, I sometimes just shave it off. I showed them a picture of how I like it done, and I think they did their best. I think this salon caters mostly to women, but I deseparately needed a cut. I have added pictures of my hair afterwards. I am just unsure why the sharp lines on the back of the neck and would have preferred more tapering. I am not good at explaing this, so probably partially my fault. I usually show a picture and hope for the best when I am in the US. read more

This is my second visit to this hair salon; they are consistently good. This time I went for haircut and hair makeover both. I spoke with Myna over the phone before going and she was very thorough. Even when I met her, she listened to what I wanted and suggested me babylights accordingly. I wanted something subtle but noticeable makeover. I am very happy the way it came out. And as usual complete worth for the money you are paying. They are taking the necessary COVID precautions. Metered parking spaces are available around the salon. read more

Wow! This is the first time I left a salon happy with the cut, color, AND style! They are a fantastic family-owned salon. My color came out unique: dark with a touch of violet. My bangs are perfect and I have volume I never knew was possible. Even after washing, it still looks good! I can style it myself but will go back on special occasions for a blow-out. read more

Hi everyone! I am not one to usually write reviews, but I know how helpful they can be of recent. I have never been one to regularly get my hair done (one time a year or longer) and that may have just changed. It had been over a year since my last hair cut/style and yesterday I was blown away by how great Virginia was. She was able to fit me in the same day for an appointment and knew exactly what I was looking for in the style. I have not been able to stop playing with and looking at my new natural perm with lowlights. She was the one who recommended the low lights, knowing that it would look better in my hair than what I had thought when I walked in. I look like a completely different person! She was beyond knowledgeable and helped me with how to care for my new hair. I can not recommend this salon enough! My hair is now healthy, bouncy, layered, beautiful, and perfectly me. A wonderful place that is clean and cute on the inside. I will definitely be going back to see Virginia when I need to get my next perm and color! If you trying to make a decision on a hair salon to make an appointment with. Don't look anywhere else! Attached you can see a picture of my hair from Christmas Day, and a funny picture from yesterday after the appointment. The volume and texture are astounding! Megan read more

Love this place! It's my little secret salon. Virginia knows hair, I came in with an idea and she knew exactly what to do and what would look good on me. All of the staff are warm and every time I'm in I'm so entertained by all of the conversation. read more

No frills hair studio. Clean, knowledgeable. Great price. Will definitely be back again. Venmo or cash.

Fast and cheap hair trim. That's all that I was looking for. $30 for a dry trim of a few inches.

I came upon Studio 1622 after experiencing terrible haircuts at my neighborhood barbershops. I (a man) have thick hair that doesn't necessarily grow "down" when it gets longer, it grows "out". On top, it's fine; I wear my hair combed back and have no problems with the length. But on the sides the hair grows out and takes on a shape of it's own. So my request at both of the local barbershops was "just leave the top alone, and taper the sides down such that it gets shorter the closer it gets to my ears/neck." Pretty straightforward. Both previous barbers butchered the sides. The end result looked like they put a bowl on my head. So, I read some good reviews about Studio 1622, and called and made an appointment. While it's not extremely difficult to find the Salon, it's not particularly easy either. But using Google maps and my iPhone direction guidance, I made it there without any problem. There is available parking on the street. My appointment was with Minya, the manager. I briefly told her about my most recent disasters with other barbers and, again, told her to leave the top alone and taper it down the sides and back. She responded "got it" and I sat back to watch. She used scissors and a comb to work on the top of the sides and back, and I could quickly see her expertise. She worked quickly but was getting excellent results. I was immediately impressed. She asked a couple of times mid-cut how it was looking, and all I could say was "great" and "perfect." She finished the lower sides and back with a comb-attached shaver - again perfect. When I had called to make the appointment, I knew the price would be $25, and that it would include a shampoo. When Minya had finished, I walked over to the shampoo station and enjoyed a nice shampoo. The woman washing my hair asked it I wanted "products", and I said "yes", assuming they would cost extra. After she finished I went back to Minya to blow dry and style my hair, again with me responding "yes" when asked if I wanted some "product." When all was done I went to pay and was told $25. Unbelievable! I gave them a generous tip. Studio 1622 Salon is now my firm choice as my go to Haircut destination. You can't go wrong with them. The Salon is not super fancy, but rather nice, clean, and comfortable. Everyone is friendly. They do accept walk-ins, but making an appointment, for me, is the way to go. I highly recommend this place. read more

I pass by Studio 1622 fairly often and finally tried it out for myself. My last barber shop experience was less than satisfactory and left high sides with no fade into a longer top. Myna was able to take me as a walk-in on a weekday afternoon, correct my fade, and it only cost $15. She talked through each decision with me and left me with a haircut that I actually wanted to show off. I'll definitely be coming back read more

I called to schedule an updo 6 weeks before the event. Left 5 voice-mail, 2 emails without a response. I was always calling within business hours but the emails went without a response as well. Finally 2 weeks before on a Friday afternoon at 4pm called and yet again vm. Called Sat at 11am finally received a human - no appointments available. Terrible Business Practices, Ignoring Potential Customers And Money on The Table is a Recipe for Eventual Failure. read more

My old stylist moved out of the area (waaah!) so I needed to find a replacement. After reading tons of reviews, I decided to try Studio 1622. Every single aspect of my visit was ahhh-mazing. Scheduling was a breeze - they answered the phone immediately, and I had an appointment within the week for a time that worked with my schedule. I arrived a few minutes late because I accidentally parked too far away, but they were perfectly gracious and welcoming when I showed up. They put me in a chair right away, gave me cold water (and later wine!), genuinely listened to my ideas and concerns, offered very wise advice, and got right to work. The entire time, everyone in the salon from clients to employees was just chatting and laughing and having a great time. The price was beyond reasonable when it was all over. However, as positively wonderful as all of that was, none of it is the best part: I had to take an anti-convulsant drug for a bit that made my hair fall out. My once long, thick hair was now short and very thin. I was mortified and shed many tears. I was so self conscious that I have been wearing clip-in hair extensions almost daily for months. Virginia did such an incredible job coloring, cutting, and styling my hair that for the first time in a long time, I felt beautiful and confident again. I happily left the salon without my extensions, positively beaming. I even got complimented-twice!-on the way back to my car. I wanted to hug her. This type of service is rare these days. And at such an amazing price? PLUS the most amazing hair? #trifecta I'll be returning for sure. read more

They say the difference between a bad haircut and a good one is 2 weeks. It's been 2 weeks and it's still bad. I took a picture in of what I wanted, lots of layers around the face, when she turned the chair to let me see, it was a Rachel cut. Not even close to what had been shown to her. All I could think of was getting home, washing it and restyling it, but that didn't help much. After the first day all of the ends want to flip outward like a 90s housewife cut. The only thing I can do is wear it back for however many months it takes for it to be long enough to go somewhere else to have it cut properly. Icing on the cake? She charged more than the price that had been quoted on the phone. read more

Excellent. Amazing. Superb. Pick your adjective. I have been happily getting my hair cut in DC for years, but I was really unhappy with the color my stylist did. Since I've just moved to Baltimore, I decided to try my luck here. What luck! Virginia, the owner, patiently listened to me and came up with a solution that was exactly what I was looking for. Her entire team was lovely and welcoming, and they spent their time (masked) cleaning and disinfecting. Except when they played with crayons and did a cute braid - just for fun, free of charge - on a little girl who was waiting for her dad to get his hair cut. Prices are quite reasonable - Venmo - and while the interior space might not be posh, the people are so warm and lovely and my hair is perfect. I'll be back for sure! read more

Gave it 5 because I can't give it 10! The service here is amazing. I told Virginia that I had gotten a bad hair cut and I wanted to fix and grow out my hair. She did such an amazing job making sure I was happy with the result. I could tell from the beginning that I was going to love it by how gentle she was. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Amazing! Incredible work for very reasonable prices! I had an appointment with Virginia and she was lovely. Haircut was perfect and she got me in and out quickly and made the whole experience very comfortable. Highly recommend and I will be back as a new regular customer!! read more

I'm usually super picky about who cuts my hair and have been trying to go to the same one person my whole life, but I decided to try this place cause I really needed a local haircut and wanted to find a place in Baltimore for long term. I made an appointment on a Saturday morning (very convenient), got seen right away, and was done in 30 minutes! I actually LOVED my haircut! I was shocked how fast they were but I will be coming back for my next one for sure! Also the price was so reasonable- I paid $30 for a layered cut taking off about 5-6 inches. read more

Being from NY, I don't know too many salons in Baltimore. I was overcharged by my usual salon and was therefore on the lookout of a new honest salon. I found this salon on Yelp and decided to give it a try after reading the review of someone who had an awful hair cutting experience at my previous salon and how Studio 1622 fixed that disastrous hair cut. Service- Trying out Studio 1622 was one of my best hair cut decision. My hair cut was done by Virginia at Studio 1622 and she is a such a sweetheart. Her hair styling skills are excellent and she takes care in listening to what exactly I want. Price- Studio 1622 was also very upfront about the price when I called them up to book the appointment- no hidden charges or additional surprises after the service. Moreover, unlike my previous salon they don't even ask if you would like to tip them. Hair cut- I have very short hair that needs trimming every 2-3 weeks and Virginia did a great job in trimming exactly the right amount along with hair coloring to cover my grey hair. I paid around 130 with tips (hair cut $40 and color $65). I would definitely like to visit them again. read more

I really needed to get a haircut on New Year's Eve and this was one of the only salons open! I'm not usually up for trying new salons or stylists but I am so glad I did! I only went in for a trim and to get my layers cleaned up but it looks great! She also blow dried (included) and curled my hair (+$10). The prices are so reasonable here! I will definitely be back! read more

Studio 1622 Hair Salon - Curled my hair at 2pm and this is at 9pm without any touch ups!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Yikes. Avoid this place. Extremely disappointed by the quality of service here. The staff was rude and obnoxious. It smelled, the floors were filthy, and the staff seemed eager to do the worst job possible as quickly as possible. I've encountered bad hair salons before, but this one really takes the cake. I don't see why anyone would ever go here. It smelled like dog poo inside. Maybe someone had tracked it in on their shoes, I don't know. But between that and the reek of burnt hair, found it hard to breathe in here. This place is terrible. Ugh. read more

Never have I loved how my hair looked when leaving a salon! Thanks for the cut at such a reasonable price!!

It appears this salon has quite a few male customers, but they were great. It's a small business and I found them to be professional and skilled. They are also very reasonable for a women's haircut. The location is in Fells Point and you will have to find on street parking which for me was no problem. read more

This review is mostly for Virginia rather than the studio as a whole. I came in to the hair salon asking for ash blonde highlights to be put in my dark ash hair. I had already gotten highlights before, but the hair stylist hadn't made them as ash color as I'd liked, so I asked Virginia if this is something she thought she could accomplish. She said "yes." I decided on a full highlight at ash blonde with hopes that she would tone the previous hair (which was a bit brassy) into a more ash blonde with these new highlights. She applied full highlights with "blue" (no idea what that means) and then preceded to brush the rest of the highlight color into the rest of my hair, explaining that this would take the brassiness out of the rest of it. That didn't make sense to me, but I'm not a stylist so I went with it. When my hair was rinsed it was playboy bunny blonde. UGH! Not what I wanted. After me explaining that it wasn't what I wanted and nearly crying right there in the chair, her daughter came to help me. She applied some ash brown lowlights and steel coloring. In the chair this seemed to fix it, until I realized my hair was grossly mismatched in color the following day while at home (pictures). I came back to get it fixed and Virginia told me that the poor coloring was due to my hormones and that she'd done as much as could be done with my hair. This was infuriating but I needed my hair fixed at least a little since I was embarrassed by it (there are pictures to review). Virginia's daughter then put in highlights again to the bottom portion of my hair and then the steel coloring again. I appreciated her helping me even though I could tell she was a bit annoyed that I'd come back. Virginia later blow dried my hair and praised herself on how light she'd gotten my hair the first time, even though I'd never asked for playboy bunny hair. She continued on about my hormones being the culprit for the two toned appearance of my hair. She never apologized for me having to return or helped her daughter plain my correction. She doesn't seem to take criticism well which shows she's an old dog that can no longer be taught. Poor service. Rants about the minorities in the community and how unsafe Downtown Baltimore is because of them (even though no employees live in the city). Employees and owner continuously use foul language and demean people. Why come here? You're certainly not going to find good service or end product. If you're a Baltimorean, this is exactly the type of establishment we don't need in the city, and you're better off simply going somewhere else -- anywhere else. read more

I love my hair. The stylist are all friendly and knowledgeable. All I asked for was a professional cut and color. The results were fabulous

Called this morning and got a haircut appointment the same day. Even though I showed up a few minutes early, I got shampoo'ed right away. My stylist, Virginia, was very kind, laid back, and did exactly what I asked for. She did check in on another client getting a color treatment while she was working on my hair which I haven't experienced before but it didn't add much extra time to my visit so I didn't mind. Would come back! read more

So I've been to see Virginia multiple times since my first review, and my experience has continued to be top notch. I kid you not, this woman is a hair genius! I'm 3 months out from my last cut and color, and I STILL get compliments almost daily on both. She gave me the PERFECT bangs and my highlights have grown beautifully. Plus you just can not beat the reasonable prices here! read more

This place is fantastic. I when to get a trim at another location and I left there looking as if they used a weed whacker on me. I was in full panic mode mainly due to the fact I asked for a trim and they took 4 inches. It looked horrible long one side short on the other. I wanted to cry all day. But I found this place online and said lets do it. When I walked in I knew I was in the right place the women there were so friendly it was if I knew them for years. They took pity on me and my mangled hair cut and handed me the much needed glass of wine. My stylist said "don't worry I'm gonna make you look great" and she delivered. Half hour later panic mode was gone and I was smiling again. She made my hair look fabulous!!!!! She is a true artists! I didn't think there was any hope for it and I definitely didn't think I'd like short hair. All I can say is I'm so happy I found this place the atmosphere is amazing all they women working there are wonderful. I now found my go to for my hair and I'll be bring others like my boyfriend there too. Love love love this place!!!!! read more

I have enjoyed getting my hair cut at this studio since moving to Baltimore. The staff are very attentive, especially the blonde front desk lady who is super kind and makes sure you get a beer or wine in your hand if you want!

Great to support this local business in Fells Point! read more
