About

Smoke + Mirrors sits at 725 W 36th Street in Baltimore and also goes by Handcrafted Hair. The salon describes its hair design as cutting edge and its space as inclusive. Its team ranges from Emerging stylists, who are licensed and still building experience through advanced education and mentorship, up to Master stylists, the highest level of expertise on the team.

Prices depend on the stylist's level. A clipper cut, which covers fades and cropped styles with detailing and styling, runs from $55 with an Emerging stylist to $95 with a Master. Short and long haircuts follow the same pattern, and every haircut includes a consultation and a customized finish. Color services, smoothing and straightening, extensions and customized transformational color all need a consultation before booking, and smoothing and extensions are quoted after a complimentary in-person consult.

The salon says it uses high-performance products it considers clean for hair, skin, cells and scalp. It states that it removes harsh chemicals wherever possible and favors natural extracts and active minerals, and that the health of clients' hair is its first priority. One featured treatment is CØR.restore, a two-part system with reparative amino acids and organic elements. It can be booked alone or during color, lightening or perming to help protect the hair's keratin structure.

Appointments are booked only by phone; the contact form is not used for bookings. Cancellations need 48 hours notice, and a late cancellation carries a fee of 50% of the estimated cost listed in the confirmation email. Every service carries a $3 fee that supports Green Circles Salons, a partner that keeps salon and spa waste out of landfills and waterways. The salon was featured in Baltimore Magazine in October 2021, and its press page lists a feature on OWAY and one on sustainable standards. Metered and free street parking is available on 36th Street and nearby residential streets. The private lot next to the salon does not belong to the salon, and towing is enforced there.

The salon focuses on hair health and cleaner product use, removing harsh chemicals where it can and relying on natural extracts and active minerals.
