In October 1984, Neal's The Hair Studio started renting a tiny space in the Sutton Place Apartments. The focus then was on hair services, but the goal was always to operate a complete-service salon and day spa catering to the diverse requirements of all people. Neal and partner Joe spent six years at the Sutton Place location honing their management skills while keeping an eye open for real estate in the surrounding Bolton Hill/Mount Vernon communities.

I was new to the area and just happened to walk by this hair salon shop where my life was changed by this charismatic, charming, HANDSOME man. He made my entire day, with his flamboyant stories about his life- his knowledge on hair styles and what looks good is just jaw dropping. I was shocked and am still shocked at this hidden gem. And he made my hair look so good! I will most definitely see him again soon:

I have known Neal and Joe for awhile, but just had my first experience with their salon. I'll definitely be back! Neal knew what would look good for my hair type and hit the nail on the head with the subtle summery highlights I was looking for. He also did a very skillful razor cut that gave it so much texture. Joe and Neal are wonderful and the conversation and stories shared in the salon can't be beat. Highly recommend.

I have been going to Neal's for over 20 years. The service is amazing and the atmosphere and company cannot be beat. Joe and Neal are always honest about what will look good and what will not. They also always listen to my needs since I am not someone to spend an hour on my hair everyday. You will leave there looking and feeling great as well as possibly with a CD of showtunes made with love by Neal.

Truly loved my experience with Neal today - what's more, I received a tremendous discount as a student. I got exactly what I wanted: textured/wavy hair in about 2 hours, along with a simple trim. I was hesitant at first because Asian hair is difficult, but Neal is a real professional and was totally comfortable with my hair. The salon is like no other, it's special. Neal is really easy to talk to and has the most interesting stories! I highly recommend getting your hair done here if you're in Baltimore!

I love, love, love my new do. And I had so much fun getting it done too. Neal is always full of great stories to entertain while he works up his masterpiece. I was concerned that the cut I wanted might not work with my hair, but I trust his judgement. He said it would look great and work well for me and it does. He knew just what to do with my thick, uneven waves. He really knows his work - knew just how to translate the look I wanted to the type of hair I have and lifestyle I lead. A skilled artist for sure. Thanks Neal!
