Best Hair Salons in Baltimore, MD

What Services Are Available Here

Men's cuts and fades are the most common services, offered at 23 salons each. Women's cuts, styling, and blowout services are well-represented too, each available at 20 salons. If you're looking for protective styles, locs, braids, or weaves, there are 16 salons handling protective styles and locs, and 16 offering braids, with 12 handling weaves and extensions. Color work—highlights, full color, and balayage—is less common in the city; only 3 salons have it listed. Beard trims are available at 20 locations. Most salons bundle multiple services, so a place that does men's cuts often does styling and beard work too.

Booking and Ratings Across Baltimore

About 90% of salons in Baltimore have customer reviews posted online, and the average rating sits at 4.79 stars—a strong signal that the shops here are delivering. Seventy percent of salons offer online booking, which means you can check availability and lock in an appointment from your phone. For the shops without online booking, you can look them up by name and call directly. The top-reviewed spots range from 4.7 to 4.9 stars, so even the most-reviewed salons aren't dramatically different in rating from the typical Baltimore shop.

How to Navigate This Directory

Start by clicking the service you need at the top of the page. The salon list will filter to show you only places that offer that work. You can also scan all 81 salons and sort by rating, or read individual shop descriptions for more context about their vibe. Look for the booking icon next to a salon's name—that means you can reserve online. Check Instagram handles if they're listed; it's a fast way to see the actual work and style. If a salon you want isn't showing a particular service, call to confirm they offer it—our data is regularly updated but not every shop has told us everything they do yet.
