Studio 921 Salon & Day Spa

1st time here and I was a bit nervous! Lauren was fantastic, she listened to what I wanted and did a fantastic job! She is super sweet and friendly! Highly recommend this salon!

I was so nervous because I haven't had my hair done in a while. Janet was great she listened to what I wanted. She was friendly and did an amazing job. Services: Hair coloring, Hairstyling

I cannot recommend this salon enough. I am new to the Baltimore area and decided to try this salon after reading the reviews. I went to Amber for highlights and she did not disappoint! She did an absolutely amazing job and I will be returning here. My hair looks absolutely stunning. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly, you won't regret going here!

My wife and I both get our haircuts for a reasonable price and we enjoy the friendly service.

If you're looking for a solid haircut, this is the place to go! I would recommend a thorough consultation so you and your stylist are on the same page in terms of expectations. Services: Hair coloring, Haircut

Had a facial with Jill this weekend. Incredibly relaxing, great natural products and she educated me on how some of the products I currently use are drying out my skin and recommended alternatives. Service: Facial treatments

I've been going to 921 for years and I highly recommend them. I've seen almost all of the stylists for a blow out at one point or another, and I am never disappointed. I've been seeing Gabby for the past few years for my color (typically balyage with a root melt) and cut. She's amazing! Angela is wonderful too! I always leave in love with my hair.

Highly recommend! If this is important to you, and it is to me, as a business, they are also active in the community, donating to local nonprofits and supporting other local businesses. I have a ton of respect for a business that also plays an active part in the community. Glad to have them in our neighborhood!

My daughter and I came in for a last minute facial with Jill. It was a wonderful experience. Not only did she give us the best facials, she also gave us both very solid advice on how to maintain our skin. I can't wait to come back. Worth the drive from DC.

Had a blow out by Gabby/Gabriel. She gives a great shampoo and blew out my long, thick, curly/frizzy coarse hair really well! She also squeezed me in while a client was processing because the original stylist couldn't accommodate me due to a booking error. Can't speak to the other services but my initial experience is great!

Joe did an amazing job cutting and lightening my hair! He was quick, super precise, and did an incredible job. I came in with long brown hair, and left with a great cut and a perfect blonde color! Can't recommend this place enough, and the price is an absolute steal.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality Have had haircut, balayage, blowout/styling, and keratin express smoothing treatment here and they did amazing work. Saw Ana and Fatima and both were excellent. They are professional, courteous, and the environment feels very safe (everyone wears masks and lots of ventilation in the space). I'll definitely be coming back! Services: Balayage, Hairstyling, Haircut

I stumbled upon Studio 921 about 20 years ago as a result of a gift card for services, and I have been a faithful client ever since. I always leave happy and relaxed after visiting this salon, and I think I have been pleased with every single stylist I have seen. The aesthetic and ambiance of the salon is perfect, and they are almost always running precisely on schedule. Kara is an absolute delight, and I highly recommend her for facial services and waxing. You will not be disappointed!

This place was a random search but I'm so happy I happened upon it! Amazing service and warm hearted workers, my new go to!

It was easy to make an appointment. The staff were welcoming and had good safety procedures in place. The interior was beautiful and inviting! My facial was so wonderful, thorough, and relaxing. It was a little pricey but I don't do this often and it was a perfect birthday treat. I will definitely be back.

Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Nick Miller. I was scheduled for a blowout this Saturday with Nick and after seeing the disaster state of my hair color he made time for a partial balayage that came out fabulous! He was attentive, kind and when I was in a huge pinch he was reliable. He did such a wonderful job with the color I'm getting a ton of compliments.

I usually pull more of a yellow tone and he was able to pull a cooler blonde effortlessly. This was my first time at this salon and it was very clean. I'll be returning because I'm in love with my color! Thank you so much Nick!

I strongly recommend this place! I've been coming here for a while and I'm so happy I found Studio 921; upscale, friendly staff & fair prices. Valerie is my hair stylist and she is the best! She takes great care of my hair and she does an amazing job with Hair Extensions. If you need great quality Hair extensions this is the place to go!

Just moved to the area and tried this place out. I came in for a root touch up and a hair cut. The guy left like 4 lines in my hair so they had their senior stylist blend them out as best he could. I got back home and I could still see lines which leads me to believe it was it was where the bleach didn't lift. He also missed several spots around my head. I will say the staff here handled this very professionally. My hair still has the lines and missed spots but at least they tried.

Had pretty standard services done, root touch-up, blending in highlights, and a haircut which was more like a trim/clean up (I have long hair). Was shocked when at the register I was told it would be $338 (pre-tip)! I have been to this salon several times before and have not paid such prices. Like the cut but toner was not left on long enough. My hair will be brassy again in days. Will not be returning and suggest that you inquire about the prices before getting services.

I couldn't be happier with my results from Nick! He knew exactly what color would look best and the cut really was what I was looking for. Looking forward to seeing him again!

Valerie was amazing, I definitely recommend! I got a beautiful cut from her and the hair wash was superb. All staff was friendly and the location is beautiful! Reasonable prices for a great salon in the city, found my new regular salon!

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value Just had my hair cut and colored by Nic. I have semi straight hair, mid length. He did a fantastic job. The highlights are subtle and golden. The cut is really great because he took out a lot of the weight but it isn't boring. He also updated my bangs. Highly recommend Nic!

My fiance just came back with the BEST haircut FROM Joe! What a huge difference, he's had it buzzed-cut for the past 8 years, and due to COVID, it became overgrown. (What a thrill to watch!) With all this hair, we were so excited to have an appointment to have a true hair cut, rather than another buzz cut. It is PERFECT, and we could not be more excited!

The end result is the best we could have ever imagined and so happy to live next to Studio 921! HIGHLY recommend them in the COVID, they were very professional, and Joe is a miracle worker! We highly recommend him!

Had the best experience here with Fatima! I mean, can you really beat having a glass of wine with your highlights? www.chasing-chelsea.com

My name is Craig. I am in Baltimore working on a TV project and was highly recommended to Studio 921. My hair was cut by Joe. Beyond being an excellent Hairstylist he is a great person with an engaging personality. I met Judy, she is one of the salons owners. She is very friendly and I could not thank her enough for booking an appointment for me with the current COVID-19 concerns currently creating difficulties for all of us. I highly recommend Studio 921

I recently moved to Baltimore and was shocked to discover there are no drybars! But 921 stepped up to the challenge. I had a terrific blow out from Susan Vasko on a Sunday afternoon--better than drybar even, and free parking too! Highly recommend.

I LOVE the eyelash lift & tint that was done by Kara. She is AWESOME! Very professional, nice conversation and explained step by step what she was going to do. I previously told her I didn't like my eyes being touched.well, I think I almost fell asleep! The outcome is great! Not only do I have great looking lashes, I don't have to curl or wear mascara. Bonus for me:. Thank you so much Kara. See you soon.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I was in town for a wedding and had gotten my hair done at another salon which I ended up hating. I frantically called around looking for somewhere that could take me last minute on a holiday weekend. Thankfully I ended up in the hands of Michelle, who saved my day. She styled my hair exactly as I had hoped for and exceeded expectations.

The receptionist was so helpful trying to find something that could work with my limited time. Even though it might have seemed like a small thing to her, it was a life saver to me and customer service like no other. Beautiful salon, with some really awesome people who work there.

I love Studio 921! The best in South Baltimore! I always leave feeling refreshed and have always been so happy with what I get done! AP is super personable and fun to talk to. I always recommend her to friends for hair! Studio 921 is a modern and classy atmosphere with drinks and coffee too! It is a truly pampering experience! The people at Studio 921 are super friendly and flexible. 10/10 recommend.

Omg I cannot love this place anymore! Everyone was so Friendly from when I walked in to when I left! I was recommended by Judy and Rachael did my hair. I'm so in love with how my hair turned out and the customer service from Rachael! I feel like I've known her my whole life and truly makes me want to go get coffee with her haha! It was so clean and bright inside, Rachael listened to what I wanted and delivered such amazing results! I honestly cannot wait to go back! Thank you again to Rachael for the amazing look & making me feel so welcome!

Rachael is absolutely AWESOME! I wrote the appointment time down incorrectly, like an idiot, and Rachael was still able to work me in. She was easy to talk to, absolutely hilarious, and I LOVED what she did to my color. I'm hooked and I'll be back to her time and time again. Super fun side note: The building is ridiculously clean (not just for a salon). Super trendy space, and not a cockroach to be seen!

I got an amazing facial with Kara and couldn't be more pleased. The session started promptly, if not a little sooner since I was early. We started with a consultation with Kara asking me about my home skin care routine and informing me of the treatment process she would do. She did extractions and the microdermabrasion and gave me a charcoal mask; while the mask dried I got the most amazing massage!

I usually cannot relax during massages but Kara put me completely at ease. Kara is clearly passionate about what she does and was very helpful in addressing my concerns and providing me information on skin care maintenance. I will definitely make this part of my regular maintenance and I can't wait to see her again!

I would come here all the time if I could but unfortunately I travel a lot for work so it's not always consistent. I managed to get in last week with Angela T. I just wanted to give her a shout out for not only fitting me in late, doing my color, but also managing to fit in a cut and style. You are wonderful! Thank you again Angela T!

I had my second session of highlights and I feel obliged to say, I am pretty disappointed (I waited a little over a week to write this review to see if my thoughts would change on my session.it did not). With the first session, I was excited because I felt everything went well. I did notice that there was a nice chunk of my natural hair (I have jet black hair) that was left alone, but I figured that with the second session it would be taken care of.

For my first session, I paid $163 excluding tip. Note: I did not pay extra for a blow out because I have pretty thick hair and after sitting in a chair for a few hours, I just wanted to go home. I also asked to have my roots addressed (I have quite a few grey hairs) and was told that the highlights would cover them. After my hair dried, I noticed that the grays were still there.

I shrugged it off and decided to wait until my next session to ask to have these bad boys covered again. Here's how my 5-star-review went down to 2 stars: With the second session, I was thrilled to be working with the same stylist. Everything seemed to be going well and when she dried out the first bit of hair framing my face, I was like "YES!" Again, I did not have my hair completely blown out because of how thick it is and I was exhausted, so I did not see everything until I went home.

What bothered me (and still bothers me) is how much this session ended up costing: $318 excluding tip. When I went home and double checked the receipt from the first session, I sent an email to the salon kindly asking the cause of the huge jump in price. Their response: my stylist added additional highlights to the bottoms of my hair and added a treatment (I assume Olaplex). However, I fail to see how this would cause an increase of $155.

I waited for my hair to dry, though, and noticed that my grey hairs were still there and that chunk of natural hair was still left untouched. If all of my hair looked like the first bit of hair framing my face, I wouldn't have been so upset. I also kind of feel like I was taken advantage of because I disclosed that this would be the last appointment before I relocated.

Because it has been past 7 days, I unfortunately can't have this corrected before I leave. TL;DR Get a quote before you allow your stylist touch your hair. You might go from $163 to $318 for full highlights that aren't actually "full" highlights. :(

Susan Vasko has been my stylist for more than 10 years. Seriously! She has taken me from light to dark and back again, all with expert ease. My highlights and balayage always look beautiful and natural, and her cuts and blowouts help my curly, thick hair look polished and pretty. Can't recommend her enough. The salon itself is gorgeous and modern, there's plenty of free parking, prices are in line with other salons in the area, and they are open on Sundays. What more could you ask for?!

The two hardest things when moving to a new city is finding your go-to Chinese take-out and finding someone to cut your hair. I'm still working on the former, but a year and a half later I finally found my salon in Baltimore. Once I got an appointment with Kasee I knew she would be my girl. She was super easy to talk to and was very helpful with suggestions to fulfill my need for (small) change in my hair style.

A few hours and a balayage treatment later, I am a satisfied customer. The salon is pretty big and I love the urban warehouse look it has to it. It's a one stop shop for all beauty needs: hair, nails, waxing, you name it. They also offer wedding services on and off site. Bring cash for your tip! They will happily accept credit cards for services but prefer cash tips so come prepared.
