Uno Salon

I have been a client at UNO's for several years. I have always been mildly satisfied,, but I realized only recently that I have been paying an EXHORBITANT amount of money for a cut and color that is not so great,. Nothing dramatic happened to change my mind---other than discussion with friends who have been far more satisfied at other salons. Uno, himself, is fine--albeit arrogant. The other stylist are very mediocre at best. Go somewhere else. Save your money. more

The receptionist made a color appointment for 3pm on a Saturday. They called me up the same day and asked if I could reschedule (I listended to my voicemail while I was driving there). I called them up and told them that I have a baby and couldn't reschedule for a weekday (my schedule just doesn't allow for it). They told me to come in - Katia (spell?) had a attitude with ME (even though she should have had it out for the receptionist who scheduled me in). Anyway, she rushed on my color and CUT BANGS IN MY HAIR. I haven't been back since. Go to Jessica Hooper at HairAfter in Westminster, MD. I've been pleased since day one. She awesome and they don't over charge like Uno. Oh - My sister had Uno do her hair once and he charged her $275! She is in college and couldn't afford it, but he made her feel obligated. Pros: They can cut hair good Cons: Very Expensive (ask for price before going!), Mean Staff, 80's Bangs :( more

I started going to Uno eight months ago after I got tired of traveling to New York to get a decent haircut. At first, I was thrilled. My hair looked as good as it did when I had it done in New York. Then, the quality of the cut started to decline. I realized that for the first few month Uno had been following the cut given to me in New York. Now, he can't seem to follow that cut any longer. My hair is a mess. On top of a sloppy cut, he can't spend a few minutes to talk with me about the cut. The mention in Baltimore Mag has gone to the salon's head. Terribly overrated. Pros: None Cons: Overrated more

After reading all the wonderful reviews I decided to try out Uno's and Uno himself. Worst idea ever! I got full highlights and a trim which cost me almost $400 (with tip). I almost fainted when given the cost at the front desk when finished. Not to mention my coloring was so bad in the front (chunky, uneven and cheap looking) I had to go get it fixed at another salon a few days later which put me out another $100. Even if he did a wonderful job no haircut and highlight is worth $400 in my opinion and to make matters worst if was the worst color job I have ever gotten. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! Pros: none Cons: price, color, more

Whether your desire is to invent, re-invent, or find the latest and hottest styles, Uno's is where to go. I have had nothing but positive experiences there. The staff is friendly, helpful and efficient and they even take the time to learn your name and remember you when you return. I would recommend everyone to enjoy the difference that excellence makes. more

This place is a nightmare! I think they are paying people to write a good review because this place is so over rated. My hair looks dated and old fashioned. Cons: everything more

I'll have to agree totally with the other negative response. I've been to some of the best hair salons in NYC and Uno Salon doesn't even come close to being a top hair salon. Uno himself is pretentious, arrogant, and is not as talented in cutting hair as he thinks he is. I've never been to a hair salon where they don't have a quick consultation with you before the shampoo person washes your hair but Uno doesn't do this. It's almost like being at a chop shop haircutting place,i.e.,wash hair, 10-15minute haircut, 20 minute blowdry-DONE and all for $100. Now I've paid in upwards of $175 for a haircut and it was worth every penny but Uno's haircutting technique is very amature at best. I told him that I don't want a bob and he gives me one (probably doesn't know what a bob is). I told him that I don't like it pouffy around my face and he does just that . He never used shears (scissors) only a razor and I'm not talking about a nice modern looking straight edge razor but some plastic thing that looks like it can't be sharpened--which is of upmost important--it should be able to be sharpened so the razor doesn't make the hair all fuzzy (from a dull razor). Also, the only other tool he used was the thinning shears! Thinning shears are old fashioned and should be obsolete.It's a lazy way of cutting hair. Yes, I have thick hair but there's a way of "cutting out" using shears alone and not resorting to thinning shears which leaves hair fuzzy, etc. Also, one side of my head is totally different than the other so I have two different haircuts going on--he didn't even bother to check all sides. I couldn't believe that he only spent at the most 15 minutes cutting my hair and at $100--what a rip! So, Uno doesn't execute a hairstyle very well and he only spends around 15 mintutes--I'd be better off going to Cost Cutters or the same anyway. At the end Uno knew that I wasn't all that thrilled so he offered me his wife's name and says that she does creative cut. Yeah, right. Pros: Stone Mill Bakery Cons: High price doesn't reflect talent more

I wanted a new, drastic, dramatic and highly stylish cut, unlike any I have had before and I knew my old dependable reliable stylist just won't do. I was either brave or crazy to try a totally new salon that's never been personally tested to make a severe change in hairstyles (from extremely long hair to very short crop) but all the reviews I read about the place (save one) were pretty good so I decided to try it. I had Katya and I've received nothing but compliments about my hair after she worked on it. She took her time and made sure that I was sure that I wanted it short. I pointed out some styles that I liked on a catalog but thankfully, she's not one of those that will just agree to whatever nonsense you want. She was very polite and suggested something else because I have extremely straight hair and the style I wanted was going to be a lot of work, which I wasn't willing to do. What she suggested was perfect, and I love it. It could have been just a lucky day, who knows, but I'll definitely take my changes with Katya at Uno again. more

I am a person that never knows what they want with regards to hair styles. I love both long and short hair. However, they don't always like me.... But none-the-less, there is not a need to worry when you have Uno as your stylist. I never had to say anything; other then I needed a cut. I left it completely up to him to work his majic. I was never disappointed and EVERY cut turned out perfect. I never had a complaint. All cuts were trendy, they worked well with the shape of my face, and the color was always perfect!! Uno is an amazing stylist!!! I highly recommend him to all!! more

I was so very surprized to read the last review. Uno the Salon is so much more then a salon. I I walked in I was nicely greeted my the recieptionest who asked my my name and told me that Uno would be right with me. I have been going to Uno for a while, and he always takes time to consult with his clients WET or DRY hair. I loved the girl who washed my hair...it was relaxing and a massage was even included. She brushed out my long hair and it was very gentle and so very relaxing. Uno then took the time to ask me what kind of cut I would like and showed me examples. He did not rush me and every cut I have gotten has been amaizng. If you have curly hair and are looking for a great cut and excellent blowdry...Uno is the one....he makes you look like you were born with straight beautiful hair, even if you really have curly, frizzy hair. I highly recommend this salon experience to anyone!!! Pros: amazing cuts and blowdrys Cons: - more

I have never written a review before but I have been to many salons across the country and feel as though I must share this experience. I had read excellent reviews on Salon Uno and was excited to get my haircut by the one and only. I was early for my appointment, as I stood in front of the receptionist she did not aknowledge me. Soon the owner, my stylist, came in and I introduced myself as he led me to a shampoo station. Before I sat, I asked him if he would take a moment to discuss with me, while my hair was dry, what type of style I should have. He curtly said he would talk to me after my hair was shampooed. My first thought was perhaps he misunderstood, because what proprietor would ever treat a customer so callously. As I waited for my shampoo I saw the owner, my stylist, at his station and approached him to more clearly explain that I was hoping he would take a minute with me while my hair was dry so I could show him what I was hoping for, what I liked and didn't like about my style. He said to me " I see your hair, it is dry, I will talk to you after you are shampooed" . Stunned I sat for a shampoo with a nice enough young lady, but she was most likely new and knoted my hair. When she was finished, she said how sorry she was for having pulled my hair, and asked if I would like a cut or just a blowdry. "I have an appointment for a cut" she than said she would brush my hair out. She began to pull and I told her not to worry I would brush it out myself. Soon after my stylist came over took the hairbrush without asking out of my hand and began harshly brushing pulling quite a bit of my hair out which was painful. I had to end this dreadful experience and did so by asking him to stop and telling him " I don't think this salon is for me" . His response was that I had hair "you need to pull a bit". I am still in shock over this experience and feel as though it is my responsibility to share what happened so you can consider this story when selecting a salon. Pros: location, parking Cons: everything else I personally experienced more

I agree with the last posting..I have tried several salons in Baltimore and Uno Salon is the best. It is a very pretty salon and from the minute you enter you are welcomed with a smile and greeting..unlike other salons I have been to where they act like they are doing you a favor..Uno Salon's hairstylists REALLY care and do all they can to make sure the customer is happy..I have sent them so many customers and once they try Uno Salon they stay..great job! Pros: Uno Salon..Very Nice Staff and Beautiful Salon more

I go no where else but Uno Salon and everyone I send there agrees..no wonder they were voted one of the top 30 salons in the country and one of the top in Baltimore Magazine. Their service and style can't compare to any salon I have been to..I get my hair cut and blown out at Uno Salon and not a week goes by where someone doesn't tell me how nice it looks..all the hair stylists (and I have been to everyone there!) are incredible..next time you need your hair blown out, color or an up-do..give them a try..you will never go anywhere else in Baltimore! Pros: The best stylists..classy salon..upscale more

I'm impressed with the management style of Uno Salon and Spa. I called for an appointment with my hair stylist Boris Borovsky only to find out that he had relocated. The classy team at Uno very nicely gave me Boris' new location at Raya's Salon in Pikesville and the phone number. I greatly appreciated the professional style of the Uno team. It took me a long time to find a talented stylist like Boris when I moved to Baltimore, so while I'm sorry to leave Uno Salon, I'm very happy that I don't have to look for Boris! So thank you Uno, and Boris I'll see you at Raya's. more

I agree, Uno Salon is one of Baltimore's Best..if not THE best in Baltimore..everyone is professional and they always schedule appointments at my convenience. Color, cuts and blowdrys..whatever I have done is first rate. Everyone always asks me where I get my hair done..I tell them I will go no where else but Uno's..true professionals. Pros: Great staff..beautiful salon..perfect blowdrys more

Uno Salon was rated in Baltimore Magazine as one of the top salons in Baltimore and I can see why. I had a black tie event to go to and decided to give them a try..my hair never looked so good. I received many compliments and recommended them to all who asked. The salon was very busy, yet, I received great service and everyone was friendly..they didn't act stuffy or like they were "doing me a favor" as I see in many other salons. My experience was A+ and I can't wait to return! more

Uno Salon is one of the best salons I have found..I travel all over and Uno, Nuri and Mustafa are amazing..if you want your hair blown out they will make it last for days! Their color specialists are amazing..I brought my friend with me for a new style and she left looking like a movie star! She said she will never go anywhere else again. I agree! more

I moved to Baltimore from New York City a few years ago and was very apprehensive about finding a high quality stylist. Fortunately I found Boris and have been pleasantly surprised. I have had stylists who will look at a photo I bring them and say "okay" and proceed to give me a cookie-cutter haircut that looks good for all of 3 hours. Boris talks to me about the practical issues of my hair, like how much time I want to spend primping, how I feel about products and what kind of lifestyle I have. He also cuts my hair as it dries so that he can see how my hair behaves. His approach is very personal and specific - and very accommodating. Each cut I have gotten from him has been unique and flattering. I have also seen him make amazing transformations on other people so if you are considering something new and daring, or if you are just looking for personal service and a great cut - see Boris! more

Referred to a new stylist at Uno, Boris. He gave me the best cut and the best color I have ever had. Been dying my hair for 20 years! Friends and family have raved over the style and the color. Some have even said it takes years off my age. I am referring everyone I know to Boris at Uno, The Salon. Wish I had found him 20 yeasr ago. I'd be a teenager by now!!! Boris is willing to accomodate early morning and late afternoon appointments. He is the BEST!!! more

Boris is an exciting addition to Uno's. He is talented---he listens, he's friendly and professional. He always approaches my hair with creativity---I am glad that I followed him to this new location. HINT: stay on top of your appointments--always confirm--the receptionist is usually preoccupied with either the telephone or the computer. She's also not particularly cordial---However, Boris is worth it! Pros: convenient location Cons: reception issues more
