I went in with box dyed hair (EEK never again!) and she took such good care of my damaged locks, talking me through the options and warning me that the end result may vary because of the chemicals I already had in my hair. When the first round didn't end up with quite the way I had imagined (though still gorgeous) she helped with applying a fresh coat of color that turned out absolutely beyond amazing! Last week I finally went back to get a fresh look. Despite the tall order - I wanted to dye my entire head green - Megan was patient and once again walked me through every step, making sure I was happy with the direction we were going and making adjustments along the way. My hair is SO happy and looks amazing!

I booked and paid a deposit online for my daughter's highlight appointment several days in advance…read more She wanted basic chunky bleach highlights, not anything particularly challenging or complex. On the day of the appointment, the salon called to say the stylist would not have time to perform the service I had correctly booked because she had scheduled other clients at the same time. I was told I would need to reschedule for an earlier time on a different day. When I asked why their system allows clients to book services that cannot actually be accommodated, no one had an answer. The deposit was refunded. I rebooked exactly as instructed, paid a second deposit, and adjusted our schedule to arrive 45 minutes earlier on a different day. Then they called again. This time, I was told the same stylist "didn't feel comfortable" doing highlights because she is inexperienced. That explanation had not been mentioned previously. At no point were we told she was not qualified to perform the service listed under her availability. We were then informed no other stylist could take my daughter that day and were asked to reschedule yet again. Two cancellations. Two deposits. Two schedule changes. Zero accountability. This was not a misunderstanding. It was a failure of management, transparency, and basic professional standards. Clients should not have to repeatedly rearrange their lives because a salon cannot align its booking system with its staff's abilities. Their suggestion? Call to book. My suggestion? Don't offer online booking if you can't manage it without repeatedly passing challenges with it onto the customer. We will not be returning.

I moved to Odenton in July of 2017 and just now got a haircut! LOL I called at about 8:40 this morning, surprised to find that they open at 8. I asked for an appointment after noon, and she offered 1:30 - great. I did wait a few minutes for her to finish the client before me, but I could tell she really cares about giving the best possible result, which held true when she spent nearly an hour on my simple wash, cut & style. Sunny is just delightful to talk to, so I enjoyed my time in her chair. The only thing I specified was to keep my bangs just touching my eyebrows, and I am pleased with them being exactly right. I didn't give any other real direction, just shared that I don't like a lot of layers because I like to put my hair up when it gets hot. She told me, "You need a little bit of layers because it's thin," which is true and to which I agreed. Before the first cut, she held up the ends and showed me about 3/4" and said the splits needed that much to come off, and again I agreed. The end result, while not a style I can or would do myself except for special occasions (I don't curl my hair otherwise) is very flattering - my daughter and SIL said so! ;) I'll post an update in a couple of days, after I wash and blow-dry it myself - that is the real test, for me.

I can't do that with very many stylists. I don't need to tell her which way my hair parts. She knows. She can feel my hair out. They also tag-team it when blow drying so it's super fast. I feel pampered. They even tag-team it when they do permanent hair straightening (I like my waves and won't do it to my hair) but that is why it's cheaper than other places...because they're faster. And if feels like my grandma's house. Can't beat it.

I came to Maxx Hair Studio to get a Japanese Straight Perm. It had been almost 2 years since my…read morelast JSP, and my hair was mostly grown out. My stylist, Nikki was able to restore it to its former glory and make it perfect again! The price was extremely reasonable for JSP, especially compared to other shops in the area. Never the less, they delivered exceptional quality and service. This is one of the best places I've ever gone for the process. I was especially impressed when, after the first process, Nikki noticed some stubborn hairs were still curly. Rather than cutting corners, she redid the entire process until it was perfectly smooth and straight. I really appreciate that! (I have had lazy stylists before who try to hide imperfections rather than address them!) I felt like I really got my money's worth here, and it was one of the best jobs anyone has ever done on my hair. I will absolutely be back for a touch up when my perm starts to grow out again! And the price was so reasonable, there's no need for me to stretch it out so long anymore!
