Owner Chas Kuhn, who has styled the tresses of Baltimoreans for years, brings his expertise in coloring, highlights and cuts to Chas Spa•Salon at the Ritz-Carlton Residences. The full-service salon and spa officially opened its doors in May and has already generated plenty of buzz for its customized hair treatments, organic products and cutting-edge spa offerings. Particularly unique is a self-service mini-retreat called the Oasis, where clients detoxify in a eucalyptus-infused steam room while slathered in a mud mask. iPod docks are plentiful so customers can relax to their own favorite tunes, all while taking in the hypnotizing fiber optic light show. The mask is followed by a quick rinse in the adjacent shower and a skin rejuvenating body scrub. For those looking for a more intimate setting, a couple’s package is available. Lovebirds can unwind in a private room with side-by-side massages and a 30-minute soak in a hydrotherapy tub, while nibbling on the requisite chocolate-covered strawberries and sipping Champagne. 801 Key Highway, 410-625-2427
