Autumn did such a great job listening to exactly what I wanted, and I left feeling confident and excited about my hair. (As someone who's had some not so great hair experiences, I am so glad I found someone I can trust!) Looking around, everyone getting their hair done looked absolutely beautiful. These stylists know what they are doing! Will absolutely be back in the future!

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 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!

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.

The seating is really comfortable, especially where it counts: under the dryers and washing bowls. The prices are on the expensive side but definitely worth it given the quality of product.

Both appointments were booked for vivid color, oil slick/ oil spill style. She went over everything before both appointments, including expectations and preferences and kept me posted of the progress throughout. The results from both appointments is pure magic! Our goal for the 1st appointment was vivid rainbow color but not too bright; oil spill/ oil slick that will be low maintenance (just what I need). It's been absolutely perfect for fall and winter. My second appointment- we went for a bolder/ brighter look but still subtle and low maintenance. I am obsessed.
