I moved to Baltimore not too long ago and initially went to Studio 1612 to get my hair cut. Based on the reviews here, I decided to give Eastbank a try. I'm sooo glad I did. This place is an Aveda-concept salon. All their products smell so good and as toxin-free as shampoos and conditioners will get. Everyone is so polite, and it's such a calm and peaceful place. Plus, they have free parking behind the salon. Everyone from the person who washes your hair, to the person working at the front desk, to the hairstylists is really nice and treated me with courtesy and respect. The first time I was there 6 months ago, Kim cut my hair and she spent a so much time with me and going over how I should take care of my hair and how to achieve the same results at home. Kim is no longer there, so this time, Laura worked on my hair and did a fabulous job. She spent a good 5 minutes going over what results I wanted to achieve, and explained to me what she thought I should do. I decided to just go with what she suggested. My hair looked so aweful and dull when she started, but afterwards it looked so healthy and bouncy. I got so many compliments on my hair today, I can't believe it. Plus, getting your haircut here costs around the same as other salons in the neighborhood. Also worth mentioning, when they wash your hair here, oh it's heavenly. You get a whole scalp massage and it's so relaxing. I've already referred several of my friends, and when my family comes up to Baltimore to visit me, I'm going to take them to Eastbank to get their haircuts. I love this place and hope that it stays the same! I don't feel rushed, everything's on-time, everyone is polite, I never felt pushed to buy any products, and they do an AMAZING job with haircuts. Very impressive.
Pros: Great haircuts, nice staff, free parking, relaxing atmosphere, prices not too high
Cons: Nothing...I wish the salon was closer to my house...It's 45 minutes away from me!
