About

Dandelion Hair Studio & Apothecary is owned by Molly Mummert Chalmus and Aubrey Schneider, who both moved to Baltimore to build their careers: Molly right after finishing school in 2010, and Aubrey after years of working in different salons, in 2012. The studio says its name stands for transformation, hopes and dreams, healing, beauty, and strength.

The studio aims for a calm, one-on-one experience for each guest. It says the products and treatments it chooses are environmentally friendly and naturally healthy. Shampoos and treatments happen in a room called the wash house, where aromatherapy is used and homemade seasonal teas are served. The studio also sells curated oils for hair and skin and blends custom oils on site.

Guests who are unsure what to book can take up a complimentary consultation. Color Correction is for guests unhappy with at-home color, poor work elsewhere, or a dramatic change. Bleach Out services need an emailed appointment request first.

Bridal clients are usually asked to start with a consultation, then book a hair and or makeup trial about two or three months before the wedding. On-location bridal pricing differs from in-salon pricing.

Focuses on a calm, individual visit and on products and treatments chosen to be environmentally friendly and naturally healthy.

Shampoos and treatments take place in a dedicated room called the wash house, with aromatherapy.
