Paid over $400 plus tip for services I didn't ask for and didn't get what I paid for…read more Kevin the owner was my stylist and an apprentice did my color. Long story short, I asked for a toner to fix the warmth on my blond job plus a trim, received PARTIAL HIGHLIGHTS in a chunky Avril Lavigne red and was charged approx $400 before tip. Kevin was visibly uncomfortable but didn't offer to fix anything. Didn't even realize how bad he was until I went to get it fixed at a better salon and was charged $190 for the toner I wanted and a more drastic cut that took twice as long (Kevin's color faded after a week and I decided to cut my loses). Don't waist your time or money.

I saw Vince today for a cut and color…read more Last time, we decided on more layering. I didn't like how it worked. So, we regrouped. He gave fabulous suggestions that will work as we go along. And he lightened my hair a little bit more, because my hair is now brown -- kinda chestnut brown, Vince describes. And I agree. I was born a towhead. This is odd. But we're workin' it, and Vince is so delightful, energetic and accommodating. And I'm ecstatic with the outcome. I shoulda gone to a club or bar or something, 'cause I looked pretty dang good!

Didn't get the perm I wanted. I asked for soft waves. Paul insisted on using small rods even though…read moreI told him I wanted larger rods. The result was tight curls that I specifically said I did not want. Now I have frizzy hair. : (

I was in St. Louis visiting my son and badly needed a haircut. Specifically wanted to find an Asian…read morehair salon. Found this place on yelp. Located in a strip mall. The facility is not the most posh or high-end. But the haircut was perfect. You can tell Paul is very skilled at what he does and takes pride in his craftsmanship. I'm not sure what other places typically charge for haircuts in the St. Louis area but compared to what I'm used to paying in Los Angeles, the rates were very good. Would highly recommend Paul's hair salon

I would not recommend it, especially if you have dark hair and are looking for color services…read more My hair color turned out nothing like what I expected. The final result has three noticeably different colors and looks extremely uneven and incoherent. One section is yellowish, another is darker, and the overall color does not blend at all. During the process, they bleached my hair once, and then applied lightener directly onto my scalp without any protection, which caused my scalp to feel painful and irritated. After washing it out, my hair was clearly not light enough for the intended color, yet the just told me they can do nothing about it, and they tried to bleached it partly, but still it is not working. Then they went ahead and applied the color anyway. I was told "it will just be darker at the top," but the actual result looks far worse than that. What upset me most is that they never clearly explained what the realistic final result would be if my expectations could not be met. A professional salon should communicate honestly and let the client decide whether to proceed, and they should have told me at the beginning if they cannot do this service well. Instead, I was charged full price, and I added a 15% tip, despite being extremely unhappy with the outcome, and the total is about 534 but they did not give me receipt or anything with details of charges. This was a disappointing experience and felt very unprofessional. If you have dark hair, I would not recommend coming here for hair coloring.

Very sad. My appointment was at 5pm with Sam and came here little early and she started with my…read morehair root touch up(it is single color, not an expensive style like balayage) at 4.50pm, she was done by 5:12pm. A new customer (with balayage) showed up right away (either she was a walk-in or Sam double booked herself for the same time of my appointment) and Sam started working on new customer's coloring on another seat right by me. I saw her rushing. After 45 minutes(at 6pm), my scalp was burning and got itchy. And told her immediately about it, she told me it was only 35 minutes(not true) and she said that color can stay up to 35-40 minutes. She has never done this, usually washes my hair after 20-25 minutes. And she knows my scalp is sensitive because we had the same issue before with a shampoo she used. She had to change it. After all I paid $75 for bang trim and root touch up, tipped her 15%. I am hoping this was only one time issue and if they fix it I can update my reviews. Today my scalp is still itchy. I have to wash and see if it helps. UPDATE: Washing my hair next morning helped. Found out there are few spots never touched! Poor service this time.

I have been going to Salon Dacota for the past few years and have never left feeling anything short…read moreof amazing! I primarily see Valla--who is talented beyond words! She always listens to what I want and makes it happen in the most flattering way. I trust her to the point that if I am in a hair funk, I let her do what she wants. As usual, I walk out looking amazing. I have seen several other stylists for hair and make up for special occasions. They have all gone above and beyond and made me look amazing. I get so many compliments on their work. I also want to speak to the integrity of the salon. The customer service has always been stellar. Every stylist I have seen has listened to what I want. The thing that sets them apart is that they make suggestions that will only compliment my face shape and skin tone. They want the client to leave feeling beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. I have always been a "salon hopper". I would like a cut or color from one place but then the next time not be as happy. I have never had the consistant results and happiness until I found Salon Dacota. Now, I will not trust anyone else with my hair! Thanks for being so awesome!

So I absolutely love Salon Dacota. I have been going there for quite a long time. Love the people…read morethat work there. Great atmosphere. Great products for hair. If you are just going to get your hair cut, they will do an excellent job. My sister also gets her hair dyed here all the time and leaves perfectly satisfied. Unfortunately, what I would NOT recommend is coming to get a balayage treatment done. I have never dyed my hair in the past and decided to do something different for a change. Having coming from Manhattan, I was intent on trying something different for $200 as opposed to $500. I figured with balayag being a very trendy style right now, the stylist had to have a ton of practice. After all, It is pretty hard to mess up -- especially when I show you a picture before hand. When I came in, I was completely brunette. And when I left I did not have a balayage (where my brown hair would gradually turn into blonde) but on the contrary, I was completely blonde with dark roots. Really not at all like a balayage. In fairness, my hair is extremely long. And thick. The appointment itself took 3 hours. I feel that the error came from both lack of experience and also management of time. We ran 30 minutes over into the next client's appointment (poor thing) and I felt like it was a rushed job. She didn't end up actually styling my hair because she ran out of time. I suppose a little of this is on me because I should have ensured she REALLY LOOKED at the picture. I was like here's the picture. She very quickly relied "oh I totally got it! I can do that" This was several months back and the reason I write about it now is because I now am having to pay almost $500 for a color correcting and CORRECT balayage. Moral of the Story: salon dacota is great. Just not for balayage. If you are wanting to do that, splurge and go somewhere that specializes otherwise you may end up paying more. Hope this is helpful!

Be careful of this place. They will charge you 20% tips no matter what shit they did…read more I kept telling him I'm growing my hair out and just wanted very little trim on the back fade. He was talking to his wife like not even listening or paying attention to me. He insisted on trimming more hairs and kept on roasting my previous perm job. After washing my hairs, the lady blowed dry all my hairs fucking straight. At that point I was clearly unhappy. I just wanted to hand him the cash and get out. He automatically charged me 20% tips like he fucking deserves it. It's Easter so you can take my money but I'm not coming back anymore

I was 15 minutes late for my reservation and was told to wait three other customers in the room…read more Okay I totally understand that since I am late. But later customers still get in front of me because they are on time so I waited another one hour. I don't feel like I am respected. You have to tell me that it is estimated to wait a long time or tell me the rule that late person is after on-time person. So, I can set up another appointment next time but not sitting there and wasting time. I never had such a bad experience before. He is so rude because I am late. Well, it is really my first time to be late and I don't know the consequence. Besides, I used to be on time but still needed to wait another 15 minutes. So it is no problem for him to be late but he'll blame you for being late. That's hilarious. If you cannot handle so many reservations, reduce it but please not blame your customers. Although I am late, I am still your customer and you should respect me. This is how service industry makes money. I will never go there again.
