    I'm excited after many years of rocking my natural curls I'm having my first curly cut!

    Day after haircut
    Emily H.

    I RECOMMEND THIS SALON TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!! The best salon I've ever been to! The atmosphere is calm and inviting and I love the aesthetic of decor around the salon too. I get my hair done by Kolby, a curly haired specialist, and she is absolutely amazing! I got a 70s shag cut & style + bangs from her and I've never loved my hair more! She was able to recommend some new, cleaner hair care products for me that work wonders on my hair and keep my curls bouncy for days. Seriously satisfied customer that can't wait for her next appointment.

    WBR Extensions
    Jennifer C.

    Love this salon and have been going since growing out a pixie cut. I love the massage shampoo chairs. Other than amazing styling, I have learned about products that have helped tremendously with my scalp health. Recently I tried WBR extensions to switch up my look. They look so natural and are easy to maintain, the best part, they offer extensions in my natural hair pattern ! I was shown how to care for them and provided with amazing product recommendations for upkeep.

    WORST SALON EXPERIENCE! I was so excited to get my hair colored, but after two attempts of toner, my hair stylists still did not manage to get the color to where I wanted it. When the owner came by to talk to me I told her what color hair I wanted. She repeatedly told me several times that this is what I wanted. How are you going to speak for a client? She kept telling me over and over again, showing me the photos I sent. We kept going back and forth telling her it was still too dark. I just stopped talking and decided to let her manage her clients poorly. You are the owner, you are supposed to make you customers happy! I work in customer service and I also have over 170k followers. Always make your customer happy and never speak FOR them. I almost cried. I am never going back here ever again! You shouldn't too, if they mess up, they will tell you that you wanted it that way. Oh and they will charge you the FULL AMOUNT. Off to find another place where I will feel listened to and understood. I made a Youtube video to explain how the situation ended, I am so upset and I hope I can save others who are nice, hope this helps https://youtu.be/4WN7LRUByxE

    Extremely uneven cut, I cut my own hair to fix it in multiple places.

    This was my second visit to this salon. The first time was just a cut and this time cut and color both with Cat. They called and asked if I could come early the morning of my appt, I happily obliged. I was taken promptly, but she was not very personable during the appt so I figured she was having a bad/busy day. She colored and cut my hair and although it seemed fast it looked ok at the salon. I got home to realize my hair was uneven in several spot (see attached pics) and there was NO noticeable color on one side of my head. She also did my "face framing foilayage" with all my grey hair still showing on top??? I canceled my daughter's appt and will not return to this salon.

    Curly cut, short hair
    Vanessa B.

    Had an awesome experience here! Kolby, Regan, and Jenni (hope I spelled all their names right!) were welcoming and encouraging about the new look I wanted. Everyone was masked and the shop was beautiful, clean, had hand sanitizer, and clients were kept socially distanced. I wore my mask throughout. Years ago, the first time I ever wanted my hair cut short, stylists in multiple locations refused because of my curls saying I'd "look like a boy." It was so discouraging. Here, the curl specialists (both Kolby and Jenni) looked at the photos I wanted (by this point I've had short cuts before, so that eased any worries that I might dislike such a big change :) ) and were so kind and supportive. Jenni did my cut and it was great, done dry because of my curls, and then washed, treated, styled, and detailed. She was always willing to answer my questions about product and maintenance and narrate a bit about what she was doing at different points in the process and why, and asking for my feedback. It was great to feel like I had options from start to finish. I left feeling light and free in my new cut, and smelling incredible thanks to the clean products used from Cult & King, of which I brought 2 home with me! Loved every second of this experience and will definitely be returning regularly!

    My hair transformation

    Kolby did THAT! She literally transformed my wavy/curly hair and gave it all the love it needed. She was very nice and soft spoken, and very gentle with my hair. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome; I honestly think this is the best my hair has ever looked. HIGHLY recommend.

    I found Inspire Salon through an Instagram search for organic/clean salons. I have been trying to find a stylist who can do a shag/mullet style razor cut. I tried two haircuts with two stylists locally and they were not quite right. I perused through Inspire photos to find cuts that looked like the style I was going for, and that's how I found Cat Chehayl @cat_chehayl_hair. I messaged her directly to gauge how comfortable she was with the cut I was asking for--we exchanged messages and I sent inspiration photos and current photos of my hair. She recommended a time for me to schedule my appointment based on my current length--we booked one month out. I live in Pittsburgh, so I was making this a mini hair vacation. I booked an Airbnb and off to Ellicott City I went. Cat took quite a bit of time with me, we revisited my inspiration photos and we discussed which would work best with my texture and, voila, I walked out with one of the best cuts I've had in years. I think razor cuts and the shag/mullet (shullet) style is one a stylist really needs to love doing--otherwise, they are going through the motions of {shoulder shrug} "Yeah I can do that." These cuts are sculptural and seem to require more of a deft, painterly hand. Cat has the love for the style and the skill to match. If a razor cut is what you seek, Cat is here for you. She is a talent. My cut was worth the 3+ hour drive. The atmosphere is quite nice as well--collaborative, supportive and, indeed, inspired. I purchased the Organic Chemistry hair putty--a Baltimore made product--and predict I'll have this for years to come--a little goes a long way and super effective. A++ transaction.

    This is the cut that I asked for. Where there is a clear bald fade into his curly hair. I am not even a stylist and can see this.

    Terrible customer service! If I could rate this salon a 0 I would. Not only was the owner rude to my mother when she brought my son in for a hair cut but they also bullied her into an extra 40 dollars to cut his hair. The hair cut looked nothing like what she showed them to top it all off. DO NOT GO HERE! It is only about the bottom dollar for them. Not about your experience as a customer.

    Amazing results after Cat transformed my lifeless dark hair into this masterpiece.
    Tara M.

    Update: The service and quality of work has unfortunately drastically declined at this salon. On multiple occasions they incorrectly recorded my appointment times and each time I was not only forced to reschedule weeks out, but I was threatened with having to pay a cancellation fee the next time they mixed up my appointment. No apology, instead they insinuated I was lying and brought up a past cancellation (of which there was one in the multiple years I was their client) to somehow prove their point. I had been a loyal customer for years without issue so for them to behave this way was perplexing. After I posted this review the owner reached out to me and explained their cancellation policy yet again (unfortunately she still doesn't understand my issue is with their lack of accountability, NOT their cancellation policy, which by the way I can now repeat verbatim after hearing it 76 times...) and apologized "if they caused any mistakes with my appointments". Sadly she still can't take responsibility. In her first email she acknowledged I only "missed" one appointment due to their scheduling error yet here she says multiple appointments as if it were a recurring thing. It's never smart to blame the client, especially when it is your mistake. If this is your idea of good customer service, by all means try this salon, but the bottom line is I DEFINITELY wasn't happy with this establishment's customer service and would not recommend it to anyone. Go to Kathryn at Little Moon Salon if you are looking for someone professional and talented to do your hair, especially blondes!!

They have more openings than other salons. That worked in their favor as I decided to go with them. I was originally booked with Emma, but was informed that she wasn't working today so was asked if I could schedule with Krista, which I was fine with. Krista was very personable and lovely. We had fun talking about everything. She's my kind of gal. She did an amazing job on my hair. Unlike my last smoothing treatment, I felt like Krista took her time and didn't rush. I love the salon's decor. It has a very welcoming and homely vibe, yet chic. They sell merchandise including hair and skin care products, apparel, satin pillowcases, caps, and other accessories. Aside from hair services, they offer facials, tanning, Reiki/crystal healing, and lash and brow services. Highly recommend this salon. Please ask for Krista!

    I am not one to go out of my way to leave a review, go to or bad, but my experience was so poor…read morethat I had to. I used to regularly go here every 3-4 months. Most of the time I had a decent experience, other than a few times my haircut did not come out the way I wanted. I don't get it styled or anything special. The main reason I'm writing this is there was a stylist named Wendy who I believe is only there on Sundays. The whole time she was just talking about her trials and tribulations and how she was struggling for money. (I'm assuming this was her way of trying to get tips) But it was very awkward. And the haircut, which I just wanted a simple short on the sides and just a little bit longer up top, was not anywhere near what I have had in the past. There was patches that were left longer, the fade up was horrible, and there was spots where it looked like there was chunks taking out. I asked her three times to fix certain spots until I just wanted to get out of there. It was so bad of a haircut that I had to go directly to another location/company to have them fix it. (Clips and cuts) by home Depot. The stylists there don't sorry for me and only charge me half price even though I said I would pay full price just to get it fixed. I will say though that the stylist in sports clips are usually very nice and do decent work. My hang up was mainly just with this one stylist. But again it was such a bad experience and a complete waste of my money that I will not be going back to sports clips again. The two pictures that I attached are my after leaving sports clips and after I had to go to another cutlery and get it fixed.

This won't be the best haircut you've ever had--but it's still a good cut for a great price. I would love to give this place a better review. The customer service is definitely five star worthy. It was easy to get in the queue online, and I didn't sit for very long before getting into the chair. Shampoo addition was great. It's not always worth it at every place, but here they do a great scalp massage. The pricing is fantastic, and they offer a Fire & Rescue discount.

    I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from Melody. My 60-minute appointment was…read morerushed and poorly executed, especially when compared to my daughter's session. The Main Issues: Shortened Service Time: I wasn't called back until 1:20 PM. Melody then left the room for over 5 minutes just for me to remove a robe. The massage ended at 1:44 PM, meaning I received less than 20 minutes of actual service. Lack of Effort: Despite being a full-body massage, she never touched my legs or feet. She simply left a towel over my head, as I was faced down saying she didn't want oil to get on me, which is why I was naked, I think she dint want to come in contact with my large curly hair as a black woman. Wasted Add-on: I paid an extra $25 for a special CBD oil add-on. However, the oil used on me smelled exactly like the standard oil used for my daughter's massage, which was included at no extra cost. It provided no additional benefit or effect, and when I asked her about it she said the CBD balm is better and feels like icy-hot for $15, never attempted to accommodate me in real time as I questioned the no effects feeling of the oil. Contrast in Service: My daughter was added to the schedule last minute and saw a different therapist (name similar to Meda). That therapist was wonderful--she took her time, provided a full-body massage including the feet, and focused on the requested areas. The spent the entire 30 minutes with her hands and elbows massaging and added hot towels to her service. Conclusion: Because of the poor quality and rushed nature of Melody's work, I chose not to leave the $20 tip I had originally prepared for her. Instead, I requested that the tip from my total charge be directed specifically to the other therapist for her excellent service. My daughter plan to return in a few weeks and want Meda again, I am nervous to even think about booking again at this time.
