About

Matt launched Balance the Salon in early 2000 and owns it. The salon describes itself as a responsible, environmentally conscious business, and says it was voted a 2013 Baltimore Magazine Top 25 Salon.

The salon says its aim is to help clients move toward the version of themselves they want through conscious lifestyle choices. The interior is comfortable, modern and uncluttered, and it displays original photography by local artists.

Services are grouped into Cuts, Color, Highlights, Styling and Treatments. Prices vary with hair length, texture and how much a service is customized, and stylist prices reflect education and experience. Corrective color and dimensional color are booked by consultation only.

The salon hosts rotating photography exhibits by local artists, each running up to three months. The salon says the exhibits reach about 600 clients a month. Exhibited work is for sale, and photographers receive 80% of each sale. Artists who want to show can write to saloninfo@balance-thesalon.com.
