CrysStyle The Salon Federal Hill

"Microlinks and lemonade braids for my daughter. First off the experience walking in the door is always welcoming. Crystal is amazing! Music is bumping and love the hospitality. From the first time I walked in for a consultation to the time I left. I like a stylist who is very straightforward and informs you before starting on your hair It is comforting to not waist time. I'm loyal when I love your quality in work and I will continue coming from Jersey to Baltimore. I recommend to anyone who is looking for diverse styles and who is looking for a stylist that works with textured hair book her, you won't regret it. ♡♡♡♡"

"Not only was the stylist and owner rude and unfriendly, I was made to wait two hours after my appointment time for a 30 min seating. No maintenance or styling tips were provided. The cut itself actually left my ends in horrible shape!"

"Crystal has been my stylist now for almost 4 years . I've followed all of her recommendations and she was highly recommended to me by my Niece. I cant rave enough about how satisfied I am in the service she has provided me. If I tell it all -I would be writing a book. I always leave the salon feeling beautiful and ready to be my best self. She has this wonderful oil she sells and my hair grew an inch after one month of usage- Please ask her about the oil. I continue to choose Crystal as my stylist because she is a powerful black business woman . I've seen her work ethic and her grind . I admire her strut and grit and she knows her shi%^&T. She KNOWS what she is doing- so it needs no explanation or defense. I do NOT mind paying her because she knows her worth and i know mine . I've learned that as a consumer I must not be afraid to ask my stylist questions upfront about how I want my hair to present my face . Whenever I've asked Crystal to give me options - she lays them out for me and ask the biggest question of them all....What would you like? some people expect a stylist to tell you what to like - but my stylist; Crystal- hears my request , charges accordingly and my hair is perfect! I will Highly recommend her and continue to be a customer ."

"I was a first time customer at Salon XO and yes the place itself was decorated nicely; however, the owner, Crystal was cold as ice. I originally requested a full sew in weave and was quoted a price, but after seeing her clients hair done prior to her servicing me, I decided that price was too much and her work was not worth that price. I decided to just have her curl my hair and when she asked me why I changed my mind about the full weave, I was alerted by that question. My hair is very full in the back and sides, and thinning in the top and front and I did bring my own hair. To get a shampoo, blow dry and curl was $75.00. I asked Crystal if she were to place just a couple of sew in pieces in my hair what would the price be and she replied "a minimum of $200.00, WOW!!!! and I purchased my own hair; I declined. I noticed when she did my hair, she did not spend quality time on my hair as she did the previous clients. Very little time and effort on my hair and I looked like an old grandma when I left her salon. It was curl my hair, left it in tight curls, no styling effort, and her attitude was, ok thanks, now out of my chair. I surmise that she gave me $75.00 worth as opposed to over $200.00 worth of time. I refused to pay top dollar for substandard styling. I went home sewed in a couple of hair pieces, took time to style my hair and my hair looked great. I can't believe how cold and uncaring, cold spirited person she appears to be. I try to support black owned businesses; however, she needs help with her cold demeanor. Maybe she is nicer the more money you are willing to spend at her salon."

"Crystal and her staff were excellent during my 1st visit! The salon has posh and professional atmosphere, which contributed to an awesome experience. On top of that, my hair turned out gorgeous! Crystal really exceeded my expectations and I will definitely return!"
