I went to M Squared Salon last night for the first time. I followed the two stylists I LOVED from their previous salon so I already new I would be getting a fabulous cut or color when I went. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Federal Hill and the salon itself looks fantastic. Trendy without going overboard and as relaxing as a salon should be. The atmosphere is fun and lively, while remaining totally professional. Michael M., one of the owners, has been cutting and coloring my hair for years. He is amazing. I consistently have the exact cut I'm looking for and my color is flawless. Friends who've complimented my on my hair and checked him out have immediately become loyal clients themselves. If you're not sure what you want to do with your hair, Michael will spend the time with you to figure out what would work best. (Less important as a stylist, but still impressive...Michael has an uncanny ability to pick the winner of reality T.V. shows by the second episode. It may not be the reason to choose your stylist, but it sure gives you lots to chat about while you're in the chair!). \r
Devan is also fabulous. You think you've died and gone to heaven when she is washing your hair as she will give you the BEST scalp massage ever. If I ever win the lottery, I'm hiring her to come to my house every morning! She's cut and colored my hair and given me the smoothest blowouts you'll ever get, (and believe me, I have some VERY curly hair). \r
Ariana, the other owner is front and center and often the voice on the other end of the phone when you make your appt. She somehow recognizes my voice from the hundreds of others who call and always does her best to find the days and times I'm looking for. She will also transform you for a special occasion by doing your makeup, or help you to create a new everyday look. \r
Next up...I'm checking out their Keratin straightening process. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
Pros: Stylists, location, atmosphere, customer service
