I never leave the salon disappointed. You know how people say your hair is your crowning glory? Tony really makes me feel like mine is! He truly listens to what I ask for and asks me questions in return. And when my responses may sometimes be vague, Tony's expertise and precision are spot on! Thanks to Tony, I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Sheldon read more

Rene the Manicurist is the best... I have and will continue to follow her wherever she goes.. I must say however, that the front desk could use some etiquette and professionalism training which was recommended to Jackie who having worked at About Faces for years and known for their sincere and dedicated efforts in customer satisfaction and excellence. I was a little surprised that she does not run her very own business with such high expectations. Also, the low morale of the staff is apparent which is unfortunately felt by clients. read more

This is for the hairstylist Deana. She gave me unicorn hair almost a year ago for my wedding. She did a fabulous job on not only my hair but on the up keep. Thanks to her my hair is still looking good! I drive all the way from the dc line to see her when I can because she is the only stylist I have found who listens to my needs and knows how to style and cut my wavy locks. read more

I recently went to this nail salon to get a shellac manicure and it was not at all the experience I had expected... My appointment was set for 5pm and I was a part of a bridal party so I was hanging out with everyone while the person who was scheduled to do my nails was finishing up someone else. I didn't realize how much time had gone by until I was back in an individual room by myself to have my nails started. My nails were started at 6pm when the lady asked me where I went before to get my nails done. I told her where I had been and she asked, "Is it Asian?". I said very quietly, "yes". She proceeded to ask me if I had gel or shellac, I told her gel and she cringed knowing it would be difficult to remove. She then went on to tell me she doesn't know why 'they' (Asian) use such harsh polish, she doesn't know how 'they' passed their test and thinks that all of those places smell bad. She then proceeded to wrap all my nails with acetone and foil to start removing the gel. She left me in a room by myself with a magazine (which was hard to flip through because each nail was wrapped with foil!). Needless to say I was extremely bored. She came back 10 min later and said, 'oh these still aren't coming off', left me for 10 more min and came back again to say, 'oh we are going to have to soak these in acetone'. She left me in there for another 10 min or so (so now we are at an hour and half total waiting during this whole process) to soak my nails some more. She came back and they still weren't coming off so she had to file all of the nail polish off. She then starting to cut and "clean" my nails and was about to start the shellac process when the power went off and did not come back on. Luckily my friend was sitting with me and she was able to put a flashlight on her phone so that the lady could 'finish' my nails. She couldn't finish completely and I wasn't satisfied with how they looked anyways and they couldn't take payment. After leaving the building I looked closer at my nails and noticed there was still red polish left on my nails and thought, "I can't believe she was going to start shellac when red was still on my nails". She told me I could come back the next day and she would squeeze me in. I personally never planned on going back so that I could get a horrible nail job and sit there for hours longer. NEVER GOING BACK. read more

Mixed review. 1. Waxing services were very good. Yeshi did a good job and was pretty quick. 2. Massage was subpar. She was okay, but just okay. My biggest problem was that I scheduled (and was charged for) a 90 minute massage but only got 60 minutes. After I complained, I was only billed for 60 minutes but the whole reason I scheduled 90 was because I wanted 90! The whole place is kind of weird... sort of a factory spa. Not very spa like or luxurious, despite their desire to be so. Also, their website is not very good or professional. I will go back for waxing but definitely not for anything else! read more

Male stylist kept bumping me with his genitals. Also gave me a bad, overpriced haircut that another stylist had to fix.

The owners went out of their way to correct the situation. New nails look great! Done by Beth, she is very sweet read more

Renaissance Salon & Spa - Hair Salons Near Me - Cockeysville, Maryland

This salon is awesome! They are always pleasant and accommodating. I would recommend this salon as it is a upper class salon that is not pretentious. The lobby area has gotten crowded with a lot of things to buy/read it could be a little more some in decor and merchandise. read more

I went there to get a pedicure and shellac manicure for a wedding I was in, this was my first time going to this salon. I went because it was recommended to me by a friend who had gone once before and had a pleasant experience. My pedicure was horrible. I have gotten pedicures MANY times before and I feel like my manicurist did not clean and cut my cuticles all the way. Then the paint job is horrible, you can see through the nail polish and she didn't even paint the entire toe nail. My shellac manicure was very disappointing. I had shellac manicure on before and when the manicurist removed that, she didn't remove all the nail polish, which was green. Then she put a light pink shellac polish, as requested by my bride, over top of that and its completely see through and you can see flecks of green underneath. And she didn't the entire nail with polish. Also the nail is very sharp on the end and very bumpy over top. After all that, both cost me $80!! I would have paid that for an quality, amazing mani and pedi with extra massage and oils and everything. But this wasn't worth anywhere near that. I will not being going to back there ever again. Instead, go to Pro Nails down the road. So much cheaper and way better quality. read more

Got my hair cut by Katy, and she did a great job! I like to keep my hair long but it was getting sloppy and stringy looking so decided take several inches off. She helped me figure out what would work and look best and styled it and layered it perfectly! Thanks, Katy!! read more

This salon is the BEST out there! Everyone is courteous and friendly. Of course my favorite stylist Sophlin is here! He is one of kind with an extreme talent in the industry. I started going to Sophlin back when the Dorothy Hamill haircut was in style at age 17. I'm so happy to have found him again after 25 years. Thank you to social media... read more

I dont know much about this "spa" but I only went here to get a full body massage by "TT" aka Teresa and I just wanted to share with Yepler how wonderful she was.. I've been to many different upscale massage places but TT must have hands with healing powder. I had such a pain from my neck to back and she had helped me tremendously after 90 min. Would love to see her rest of my life! read more

All I ask for in a haircut experience is a friendly person at the front desk and a good stylist. I found neither at this place. Two very catty receptionists and a stylist that just flew in from Uranus. I had to go to a different barber shop for a "repair" of the mess they made. Bottom line: Across the street is a place called Fx Studios which puts Renaissance to shame and for the same price too! read more

Great customer service. I experienced a problem with the behavior of one of the employees and upon reporting it to the management I received a phone call from the owner of the establishment apologizing profusely. She sent me a gift card for free services to make up for my unfortunate experience, and I had a great experience upon my return. read more

I found this salon on Groupon. Services were good. Nothing too great, but the Groupon was for basic services, so I wasn't expecting too much. The nail tech I had talked a lot but she was very pleasant. When checking out, she gave me a list of their services and wrote down her opinion of the best techs in each specialty. Before leaving, the owner Jackie gave me a tour of their massage and couple suites. The place is HUGE and decorated beautifully. Very clean and pleasant. I'm definitely thinking of returning for a full price service. read more

Mehhh at best . Not worth the trip . The parking lot sucked , the staff was confused and unpleasant . It also took 3 weeks just for my husband to be able to speak to someone .My husband scheduled a couples massage and facials for the both of us just for us to have to be split up the whole day and on completely different schedules . I don't think I will be coming back here anytime soon . Good luck if you do . read more

Daniel was great! He was very open, had great suggestions for my hair and face shape. He even made some suggestions for future appointments. Thank you! read more

Created an account just to leave this review as I've never been so inclined to leave a review until now. My friends always told me not to go here but I found a manicurist I love. Have a friends wedding tomorrow and a 7 hour drive tonight so I reserved 1 1/2 hours of my time for nails. My manicurist ended up being 2 mins late for my apt and they fired her in front of me. Gave me a new person who was so sweet but clearly didn't know what she was doing-found out later that she was there for the day to sell jewelry didn't even work there. For a place that charges over $35 for a mani they are super unprofessional and clearly have no class. Such a waste of my time do not recommend. read more

There are many positive aspects of this spa. As some other reviewers have noted, it is much more spacious than you can imagine when looking at it from the outside. It may be a small thing, but the music is so relaxing and befitting the facility. The staff are polite, always smiling, and genuine in wanting to make you feel comfortable. There are new owners there and you can see how the new philosophy is taking hold. read more

Very disappointed. The place is lovely and spacious. My experience was with a facial. Have u seen that commercial about gym shaming where customers are belittled for their lack of knowledge about all the gym equipment? Well this was skin shaming!! The gal, whose name I have fortunately forgotten, went on and on about how bad my skin was. It was so embarrassing. I have no blemishes, blackheads, or oily spots but I do have dry patches. I do not get monthly facials like she suggested the rest of the world does. I think it was all in the effort to upsell me to a higher level of facial with a peel and something else. I was a sucker due to being so embarrassed by her shaming. I will never go back. read more

couples massage was SO relaxing especially with the Geisha soaking tub before hand. Everyone was very friendly and professional, which made us feel very comfortable. Will definitely be coming back again in the future. read more

I would like to thank Helen B for giving wonderful nail acrylics. She is Renaissance 's loss and Studio 360 's gain. After I found out that Helen had left the salon, I needed a nail appt ASAP as I was leaving on vacation the next day. Asked if Tanya was available and was told she wasn't. Came to find out that she was. In the meantime, I made an appt with Marlene - BIG MISTAKE - worst set of acrylics that I ever received - would never RECOMMEND her to anyone. Not would I recoomend Renaissance under its new "format" . Such a shame because it has been a great salon. read more

My first time to Darell Barrett salon and my first highlight experience ever, it was fantastic!! Sarah did an incredible job and exactly the sun-kissed blonde look I wanted. I highly recommend this place! read more

This salon is HUGE and ready to host the whole office! Love the friendly staff and ability to have the entire range of services performed at once. Just had my hair cut/styled by Daniel (Danny) and look fabulous! :) Quick scheduling, nice staff, and really interesting progressive services such as an on-staff Reiki Master?! Myofascial massage offered which I haven't ever had available to me before...all your products in one place too. Kinda love it. Will be back. read more

I have been going to the same salon my entire life, until I saw and experienced what Renaissance has to offer! Walking through the door you are greeted by friendly staff and a great calm and relaxing atmosphere. I really think the new ownership has done this Salon a great deal of awesomeness. I would recommend this salon to everyone it really is wonderful and i cant wait to go back! read more

My husband got a full body massage by John last week and made sure he got an appointment for me before he left the spa! Today I received my deep tissue massage and John was unbelievable! He is professional, respectful and attentive! It was the best massage I have ever received! read more

I was visiting Hunt Valley for a family wedding and rather than lug all my hair tools and products with me across the country, I decided to go to Renaissance for a blowout. It was a great decision. I was scheduled with Lauren Gladstone - she saw me promptly and had me out of there in 30 minutes with exactly what I asked for. My hair is naturally wavy and frizzy in humidity so I asked her for some loose waves that would hold up on the hot, humid day. She was a pro and did it all with the blow dryer - no curling iron needed. My hair looked great all day at the wedding and even the next day. The price was very reasonable as well. Thank you Lauren for making my long trip just a little bit easier! read more

My wife recently tried to use a Groupon at Darrell Barrett and Renaissance Salon and had a very dissatisfying experience. She was going to be a new customer since she is shopping for a new hair stylist and came upon a special with Groupon. My wife booked an appointment about a month in advance. When she arrived 15 minutes early for her appointment, she was told that her scheduled appointment had been changed that morning although no one had contacted her to confirm if the change was OK or to let her know about. She was told she would have a new hairstylist, with less experience than the one she had scheduled, or have to wait till the stylist was done with her current customer. My wife expressed her dissatisfaction but agreed to wait an additional while. This was inconvenient for us because our whole family had made plans around the scheduled appointment time. After waiting 20 or 25 minutes, my wife asked again when her appointment would start and was told that it would start whenever the hairstylist was ready and stylist didn't make any money anyway from Groupon Deals. My wife was then asked to leave, which she did, on foot, since I had the car. Groupon was very, very cool and credited us for the purchase so that we can spend our money at a salon with better customer service. read more

Don't get a pre-natal massage here!! Waste of money, pregnant or not. My best friend treated me to a spa day for my birthday. I was 17 weeks pregnant at the time, so had to get the pre natal massage. I've had a few pre natal massages, but this was by far the worst. It was basically a one hour long lotion application in a freezing cold room with paper thin walls. The room felt like a hospital room. Huge, sparse, white and cold - not cozy, warm and inviting the way a massage room should be. When I told her I was cold mid session, she asked if I wanted another blanket. No - turn the heat up! I was warm under the sheet and blanket, but every time she uncovered me, I got a chill and that part of my body got goose bumps. Even her hands were cold through the entire massage. I know a lot of therapists are afraid to apply too much pressure when massaging for fear of inducing contractions and early labor, but this was ridiculous. I'm not joking when I say it was an hour long lotion application. I think the therapists name was Diane - but apparently she is the only massage therapist there. I wouldn't go back for a massage here even when I'm not pregnant! read more

Was a really nice salon Was a client for 26 years. New management fired all of the stylists and nail techs that were there originally. The spa is not clean - most of the time no toilet paper in the bathrooms. Had my hair washed twice with very cold water. No explanation from management-"just the water heater is broken." Raised their prices, with no explanation. What a shame. Will never ever go to Renaissance Salon again. read more

I had what is quite possibly the worst french manicure I've ever had. For $40 I was expecting something fantastic. Instead I got an uneven, lumpy, lopsided nail color. It was horrendous. The first thing I did when I got home was soak it off because I couldn't stand it even for a day. For an 'upscale' 'salon and spa' I had much, much higher expectations. If I could give this review a 0 stars, I would... read more

My second visit to Renaissance Salon and Spa. Wonderful experience this time. I was contacted by one of the owners, Jackie, who could not apologize enough for my recent disappointing experience. She was happy to hear I loved my haircut but sad that my experience didn't live up to my expectations. She encouraged me to return to get my highlights (remember I canceled my appointment) and there would be no charge. I was so elated! The salon I envisioned to be "top drawer" truly is just that. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Daniel, my stylist and the owner, Jackie. Both seemed to be sincerely apologetic and promised I would leave their salon a very satisfied client/customer. And they kept their word. Daniel looked like he was feeling much better. We talked and laughed. He said he was terribly upset when he read my review because he enjoys his clients and works hard to give them, not just a good experience but a great one. Well Daniel you succeeded. I am happy to call you "my" stylist. You were amazing! And so was your shampoo girl. Very sweet with awesome hands; gentle but firm. I was in heaven. The hair washing/ rinsing station is a completely separate room. Very relaxing, not to mention very beautiful... So elegant. Thank you very much for proving that you truly are a hair styling salon and spa that I am proud to recommend. 2 thumbs up! read more

The atmosphere here is great. The receptionists are friendly and welcoming. I feel at home every time I come in. I have been going to Jenn Marie for 10 years now, I highly recommend her. I have never gotten a bad haircut or color as long as I've been a client. This place is great read more

As any parent knows finding a great place for five and three year old boys to get amazing hair cuts is like looking for treasure!! Well we found the right spot at Renaissance Spa!! Rose is absolutely amazing!! She is so calming my guys absolutely love her!! No more bowl / Loyd Christmas hair cuts for this family!! read more

I have been going to Renaissance salon for years along with my mother and aunt. We LOVE the salon for hair, waxing, massages, and manicure/pedicures. Recently, I had a bad color job at another salon. I called Renaissance in tears and they said, said how soon can you get here! Upon my arrival the ladies at the front desk were sweet and Diana, who fixed my hair was wonderful. She did a beautiful job fixing the orange stripes and awful haircut! She is very professional, friendly, and you can totally tell she is passionate about her job. I will most definitely be back to see her! If I could give Renaissance 10 stars I would! read more

I went to this salon on Saturday for an updo for a wedding I was in. This place is huge and was able to accommodate the bridal party as well as mother, godmother, and friends of the bride. I loved my style by Alise and she was friendly and pleasant to talk to throughout! My hair looked and felt great all day. I was finished by 10 am and it lasted well beyond 2 am despite the wind and humidity of the afternoon (it was almost hard to take out that night because it was so well put together). Thank you for a lovely experience and perfect hair style! read more

After talking to Jackie I'm happy to say she address the issue. My wife was thrilled with her response and can't wait to go back

I was recommended by a friend to go to Renaissance after a hellish experience at an over-priced salon that butchered my hair. I have been working with Wendy at Renaissance since and my hair is better than ever. This past week, I decided to change my style a bit and Wendy not only made it happen but made it more amazing then I imagined. I attended a professional conference yesterday and received no less than five compliments on how amazing my hair looked! read more

I had heard some horror stories of this place but decided I would see for myself. No toilet paper in almost all bathroom stalls and urine on the seats. The spa was stuffy and hot as if they have never heard of air conditioning. Bizarre older woman at the desk who talked to me like a mother speaks to an infant in goo goo gah gah voice. read more
