I'll start by saying I won't trust anyone else with my hair but Serena. She is gifted beyond measure, deeply talented and passionate about hair and using the highest quality green and organic products. I'm a tough customer to please and I first saw Serena at a different salon about 8 months ago for a gentle hombré look. I had tiny blue highlights put in my hair within the last 2 years but hadn't had anything drastic in easily 5 years so I was initially nervous about coloring a big chunk of my hair but she made me feel at ease with her kind, calm and warm demeanor. She did an amazing job and I was hooked. In fact I loved the color so much, I went back later that week and committed to a full hombré. It was gorgeous. She was so patient too, I remember I showed up super late and she squeezed me in anyway. Since then, Serena has started her own beautiful brand with her own space and I couldn't be more happy or excited to be her loyal client. Her new location is warm and tranquil. She has excellent taste in music and keeps her groovy tunes flowing. Her banter is insightful, kind and wise. The salon smells lovely, not even a hint of chemical smell. In the shampoo room, there are incense sticks burning and relaxing spa music playing. Not to mention her assistant Bree gives a great shampoo. Bree is also a licensed massage therapist, she's warm and professional. I was one of Serena's first clients in her location. Once I was ready to change up my hombré look, I went for an all over lighter color and some lighter highlights mixed in. I showed her pictures and she asked me lots of questions. She pulled out her hair color samples and carefully matched my description. Despite the fact that Serena put bleach in my hair, my scalp never burned and I never smelled anything gross. She mixed Oleoplex in so my hair wouldn't get very damaged and the color turned out beautiful. Every product she uses is of the highest quality and smells incredible. Even though they are pricey, they are well worth the splurge. I recently returned a few weeks ago to get some more highlights and didn't realize I had originally only scheduled a hair cut. Serena being the ever accommodating gem that she is, gave me a great dry cut and did the highlights anyway, she didn't seem fazed at all when I said I wanted highlights. She explained that i would have to leave with wet hair so that she would have time for everything and I was more than ok with that. In the end, I actually was able to get under the dryer for a bit anyway and the highlights looked great once I got home and dried my hair completely! I appreciate so much that she always does whatever she can to make sure her customer is happy, like sincerely, she goes above and beyond. I restocked on some curl cream and bought some new conditioner on that visit as well. The next day I noticed my roots were showing a bit, so I called her to see if she could touch them up. She was more than happy to fit me in the next day and on the day of the appointment explained that she had simply layered color over my existing highlights so the root growth was more obvious since the color was lighter. I appreciated the explanation and again she just goes about explaining things so clearly and kindly. She even threw in a few more complimentary highlights to make sure everything was blended. When I say Serena is talented I mean it. She is deeply committed to providing the best and highest quality service and ensuring customers are 100% happy. To top it all off, my hair has literally never been or looked healthier. My friends have commented on how luxurious and healthy my hair looks and when I look in the mirror I see so much less damage, split ends and frizz. How?! How does she make hair that has been bleached and dyed look healthier?! (Obviously, she's a genius). For context, I have big, semi course, thick as a horse's mane wavy hair. I'm of Mexican descent and my hair is NOT EASY. It's not ugly hair by any means...but it's tricky and I've had some awful stuff done to it by previous stylists who didn't understand how to work with my texture. I'm impressed at how knowledgeable she was about working with textured hair like mine. She understand the needs of my hair type down to how to color, cut, style and maintain it. The products Serena recommends are wonderful. I'm especially crazy about the curling cream. I've repurchased it twice now and won't use anything else in my hair. It tames my frizz, smells amazing and gives me natural looking shiny waves. She strictly adheres to organic, environmentally friendly products. I play in a band and it's important to me to keep up appearances. My hair is an extension of my personality, my essence...my whole being! I take hair care seriously since my hair has truly become part of my identity. You will find your lifetime stylist in Serena. If she ever moves I will follow her. She is celebrity stylist caliber, hand over my heart. read more

See all

I followed Serena from DMS Salon because it took my so many years to find her in Maryland! She is the most chill, professional stylist I've met. She's got great style and an eye for her art. She also did my hair for my wedding and I got more compliments on it that I lost count. I took a plunge to get bangs - haven't had them since I was 9! - because I wanted a change, but also that I trusted Serena to do it well. And she did! They look great and she offers free touchups which is more than appreciated. So excited for her to have her own place! Its easy to get to - right off the main street in Catonsville - and the atmosphere in the salon is great. Calming with candles and music that puts you in a great mood. Its super clean and uberposh. read more

Serena Rose Styles - Serena was able to make me feel gorgeous and look natural at the same time - which can be difficult for some artists. - Makeup Artists Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

Serena is not only warm and inspiring but she's a true professional on top of her game. I've booked her for makeup tutorials, beauty coaching, hair cut and repair, and am always learning new treatments and beauty things to try. Like I said, inspiring. The beauty coaching is the perhaps the most valuable service Serena offers and if I could afford daily coaching sessions I would. Investing in yourself is always a good investment. After my first two beauty appointments I knew I wanted Serena to tackle my fine (and often windblown) mane. Best decision ever and she is not only giving me a fresh cut every few months but helping me build stronger, shinier hair. Thank you for being such a mindful, fabulous stylist Serena! read more

Serena is more than just a hairstylist. She wants to style your overall well being. Yes, obviously she does a fantastic job at hair, but you also leave her salon with a refreshed spirit as well. My band and I chose her as a stylist for a photoshoot because she came highly recommended. We're a band, so needless to say on the day of the shoot a few of us showed up a little under the weather from the night before. That's when Serena went into action! She completely pampered us back to health. Seriously! She styled us, fed us, gave face massages and even before we arrived prepared the room to make it inviting for us to have a great start to a long day of shooting. We left looking better, feeling better (no more headaches) and more refreshed than when we arrived. In addition, she stayed with us during the shoot to ensure we looked our best throughout. She's awesome! read more

I can't say enough good things about Serena Rose Styles. The most important thing to me about a hair care professional is that they listen and communicate well. Recently I decided to do a radical change to my hair style and Serena was great at listening to me to help me achieve the desired look. She is very adept at making people feel at ease and comfortable. Serena uses all natural products - which is important for people who have chemical sensitivities. Her space is lovely and very relaxing. She attends to every detail and really works to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Her approach to beauty care provides an aspect of healing energy as well- a little like going to a health spa wrapped up in the appointment. read more

I'am in love with this salon ! Since becoming a client of Serena's I have received non stopped compliments on my hair! There atmosphere is relaxing and friendly with the smell of essential oils or incense I'm not sure which one it is but it's delightful! I always get offered tea or water when I come in. I would definitely recommend a little cup of tea. The cups are adorable. Serena is fully stocked on all kinds of amazing oils to help your hair. She is always helpful in educating about the products and best ways to use them. I can say 2 of theses products have transformed my hair into healthy silky hair. I would highly recommend this salon! read more

I've been going to Serena for hair and make-up product needs for almost a decade now. Serena is the most talented hair stylist I have seen to this day. It is obvious that she is amazing at what she does just by watching her cut hair. Also, it has taken me many years to find organic hair and make-up products that I can trust and that actually work. Serena knows her stuff and has schooled me many times about products and how-to styling. I am never disappointed when I leave! read more

As a Design Professional, I respect the creative mind, and after an initial consultation I let her have her way with my hair. She gave me that best cut I have had in YEARS and though I pride myself in paying attention to what my stylist does, she gave me tips that I didn't know, that were specific to my hair and its texture. After my appointment I booked her to do my hair for a wedding. She did and amazing job! They style lasted all day (and night) in spite of humid conditions! I will be traveling from Bethesda again for her services. read more

For a guy, getting his haircut isn't always a big deal; after today I think I'm going to make it one. In the past haircuts were quick and cheap; in & out, bonus points if it looked decent. I've never left a salon feeling like a different person, having this optimism and confidence; I feel like a million bucks! Serena is so passionate, creative, and damn good at what she does; she is also very calming and friendly. I warned her when I sat down that I don't talk much, but I found myself talking to her the whole time. I opened up to her and felt safe in her chair. I remember thinking I was probably talking and moving too much, usually I just sit there with my eyes closed until it's over; today... I'm still smiling! #ShopLocal read more

I'm a middle-aged man with curly hair that I wore very short for many years. Every year or so, I'd try to grow it out a bit, but I could never get past that awkward Brillo-pad phase, and inevitably I'd cut it all off. Finally in 2015, I committed to finding a stylist who understands curly hair and could help me get through those miserable few months of growing it out. Note that key concept: understands curly hair. A huge part of why I wore my hair short for so long is because it's so incredibly hard to find stylists who know how to cut curly hair. By either sheer luck or divine intervention, I found Serena. She is kind, compassionate, warm, empathetic, and most importantly, an absolute wonder with hair - especially curly hair. She helped me find a style that is professional but still has some personality, and she managed to take at least 5 years off of my appearance while always respecting my absolute refusal to use color. I visit Serena's salon once every couple of months, and the experience is always soothing and enjoyable. The shampoo is incredibly relaxing, and the conversation with Serena is a pleasure. (As an introvert, this is usually my least favorite part about getting a haircut, but not with Serena.) And the thing that amazes me the most is that I'm actually paying less than I was paying when I was hitting the corporate-chain-barber-shop once every 3 weeks for a buzz. When she told me the cost after my first visit, I was floored ... with the service and quality, I expected it to be at least double what I paid. I can't recommend Serena highly enough! read more

I recently visited Serena for a color, cut and blow dry. My hair not only came out flawless and stylish but the entire experience the salon provided was relaxing. It was nice to take a moment to get pampered in a such a tranquil and cozy (not to mention adorable) place. Book her in advance, word is spreading quickly and she is surpassing expectations and gaining more clientele by the second! read more

I've been following Serena around at various Salons for years. She is very talented with both styling and color, and she has an innate ability to really understand her clients wants and needs. She makes creative suggestions when you don't know quite what you want and they are always perfect. In addition to her exceptional skills as a stylist, Serena is also a wonderful person. She makes you feel special from the moment you arrive for your appointment and it is evident when you talk with her that she is genuine, caring, and thoughtful in so many aspects of life. I'm grateful to have found her. read more

Serena is amazing! I've been seeing Serena for over a year now - and she's completely transformed my hair! I used to dye my hair myself for YEARS, and it was just dull, thinning, dry, cracked, breaking, frizzy, etc. I was sooo frustrated. But ever since I've started seeing her my hair has grown tremendously! She's been coloring my hair with all organic products, not to mention I've started using all of her at-home organic products and shampoo/conditioners as well. My hair feels completely transformed! Serena always makes me feel sooooo at ease and comfortable every time I'm there! I always look forward to our chats and sips over tea :) it's just a wonderful experience! read more
