Your Space Salon in Baltimore: Hand-Tied Hair Extensions
Your Space Salon is a 2,800-square-foot boutique salon in Fells Point specializing in hand-tied hair extension installation and maintenance, operating by appointment in a neighborhood better known for vintage shops and seafood than for technical hairwork.
What Your Space Salon actually is
Your Space occupies a corner storefront on Broadway in Fells Point, built around a core service: hand-tied weft extensions, the method where hair is stitched onto a thin adhesive-free weft that sits flat against the scalp. The salon employs a small team focused on extension installation and blending rather than full-service color or cutting. This narrow focus means the salon does fewer things than a general Baltimore salon, but does them for clients who specifically want extensions placed by someone trained in the hand-tied system rather than tape-in, clip-in, or glued systems.
Services and pricing
Installation of hand-tied extensions starts at $600 for partial coverage (typically 80 to 120 grams of hair) and runs to $1,100 for full-head coverage (200+ grams). The salon uses lengths from 14 to 24 inches and charges $2 to $4 per gram of hair depending on quality and whether it is virgin or processed. A first appointment includes a consultation and color-matching; installation takes 2 to 4 hours depending on how many wefts are placed.
Maintenance visits every 6 to 8 weeks cost $200 to $350 for repositioning (moving wefts up as your natural hair grows) and blending. Removal without reinstallation is $150. Prices confirmed with the salon in December 2024; contact them to verify current rates.
How Your Space compares to other Baltimore extension providers
Hand-tied wefts are heavier and require more anchor points than tape-in extensions, which makes them better for thick, textured hair and worse for anyone with fine or sparse roots. Salons like Salon Drybar on Fawn Street in Canton offer tape-in extensions ($400 to $700 installation) that lie flatter but need more frequent maintenance. The Choice Salon in Harbor East installs clip-in extensions ($250 to $600) that are removable but less permanent. Choose Your Space if you want extensions to stay in for months without removal; choose tape-in if you want a lower entry cost and lighter feel; choose clip-in if you want to remove them at night.
Who it suits and who it does not suit
Your Space works well for people with medium to thick hair, shoulder-length or longer natural hair to anchor the wefts, and a budget for repeat visits every 6 to 8 weeks. It does not suit anyone with very fine or thinning hair at the scalp (the wefts may slip or cause breakage), anyone who washes their hair daily in harsh shampoo, or anyone expecting extensions to last longer than a year without rehab or replacement.
What the first visit involves
Arrive 15 minutes early. The stylist will examine your hair texture, density, and natural color under bright light, show you samples of hand-tied hair in similar tones, and discuss how many wefts you want and where. If you are a good candidate, they will mix a custom shade if needed and begin sectioning. The installation is quiet, not painful, but requires stillness; bring your phone or a book. You leave with damp hair (styling is done at home); the salon provides styling instructions and a care packet with recommended shampoo.
Hours, parking, and logistics
Your Space is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday. Verification note: holiday hours and chair availability change seasonally; confirm before booking a first appointment. Street parking is available on Broadway and in the Fells Point lot one block south; the salon has no dedicated lot. The salon is accessible by the #10 bus (Broadway stop). Fells Point is a 10-minute walk from the Inner Harbor and a 15-minute walk from the Harbor East restaurants.
Hand-tied extensions require commitment and skill, which narrows its audience in Baltimore. Your Space fills a specific need for people who have ruled out quicker methods or who need extensions durable enough to survive regular styling, swimming, and months between visits.
