    I'm very very picky when it comes to where I go to get my hair cut. When my trusted barber up and left for warmer climates, I was thrust into the anxiety inducing process of finding someone new. Call it deep rooted trust issues. Call it a touch of narcissistic self preservation. My hair is important to me. I had seen a friend in Instagram (not as in like we are just friends on Instagram... I know him in real life. I just saw a photo he posted on Instagram that was of himself) post a baller hairdo. I immediately plunged into his DM's begging for the deets. (An aside: Michael has really good hair. Like really good. Check him out @mazed_michael on Insta.) His response to my inquiry - Idle Hands. After doing a deep dive into their barbers and stylists, I made a choice. Made and appointment. Part of me doesn't want to mention who I chose so that this person doesn't get even more popular thus making it harder to book, but to be honest Brandon did such an amazing job on my hair that I have to give him a shout out. From the moment I sat down in his chair, I knew I was in good hands. Brandon is incredibly personable and a great conversationalist. I was nervous I wasn't going to feel cool enough to get my hair cut at Idle Hands, but Brandon is a cool dude I'd like to get a beer with. In fact, that was the whole vibe of Idle Hands. It felt like a group of friends just hanging out. You don't often get that atmosphere in other salons. So kudos to the crew from Idle Hands for developing an awesome space. Customer service seems to be of utmost importance to both Brandon and the whole staff at Idle Hands. I love that they make it so easy to rebook after you are done with your services. There's never a moment that you feel rushed or pressured. The staff doesn't push expensive products on you or try to upsell you on other services. It's a very laid back experience. And let me tell you I was SO happy with my first haircut from Brandon at Idle Hands that I've almost completely forgotten I ever went to another barber. It was love at first snip.

    Beautiful wall murals by Shani and some stations safely divided.

    Booked an apt with Brandon easily on the website they use and had a very clear and fair cancellation policy.

    I've lived in StL Hills for 3 years but I finally decided to see what I could find in the area for…read morea men's hair stylist. Based on reviews from a number of area shops a safe bet for a new shop (after 10 yrs or so) was the SOHA barber shop. I made an appointment on the phone not knowing that at least three stylists worked there. I got Anna and I didn't know what to expect so I showed up early and she wrapped up a bit earlier than expected so she started early. I told her I just wanted something that looked age & cut appropriate for the upper 60's white male that I am. It should project a business man's style and that wouldn't embarrass my kids. Anna did a great job, since I had been looking for a couple weeks and the appointment was a week later my current hair was wild to say the least. She was patient with me, and made sure I understood a lot was coming off. It came together very well, especially with a 1st time for me stylist.

    Generally I bounced around, trying to find a decent barber for a long time. When I moved to Tower…read moreGrove, I ended up walking into Wyoming Barbershop. There I just lucked into getting my hair cut by Anna. I was so happy with her attention to detail and service that I have been a regular customer for the past 15 years. I took my children there from very young ages. As life changes, Anna and her colleague Anna started their own shop in Southampton neighborhood, appropriately called SOHA barbershop. This has opened up flexibility for scheduling and has been drastically easier to set appointments. The quality and service have always remained the same, and I am 100% loyal to SOHA Barbershop.

    I really wanted to love my experience here because the salon itself is absolutely beautiful, and…read moreevery staff member I interacted with was warm, friendly, and welcoming. Unfortunately, the actual service I received was not what I paid for. I booked and paid $90 specifically for a curly haircut, which is a reasonable price in this area for a true curly specialist service. However, what I received felt more like a standard haircut rather than a curly cut. Before the appointment started, I thoroughly explained what I was hoping to achieve: more curl definition lasting beyond wash day, guidance on styling techniques, and a haircut tailored specifically for curly hair. Despite this, my hair was cut wet rather than dry, and there was no curl-by-curl shaping or specialized curly cutting technique used at all. As the appointment continued, several things made me question the stylist's experience level with curly hair. My stylist, Anna, seemed unprepared for the appointment. While styling, my hair was already drying and becoming frizzy in the front before products were even fully applied, and I had to point out that it needed to be re-wet. She also did not have her own diffuser and had to borrow one from coworkers. I had specifically mentioned that curl creams tend to weigh my hair down, but one was still used during styling. The diffusing process itself was also very uncomfortable, as I was instructed to hang the lower half of my body off the chair so my neck rested against the back of it. By the time my hair was almost fully dry, it honestly looked very similar to how it did when I walked in -- like I had showered, slept on wet hair, and done nothing else to style it. That was extremely disappointing after paying for a professional curly hair service. Anna could tell I was unhappy, and to her credit, she was kind and tried to fix things by washing the product out and attempting a blowout instead. Unfortunately, I still left with poorly styled hair. The face-framing pieces were going in different directions, and the overall result did not look professionally styled. I do want to emphasize that Anna herself was very sweet and pleasant throughout the appointment. However, when charging $90 for a curly haircut, a certain level of expertise and preparation is expected, and I do not feel that level of skill or knowledge was there. When booking, I specifically told the salon owner I was looking for an experienced curly hair specialist. I was told Anna was newer to the salon but had experience with curly hair and many happy clients. I truly hope this experience was just a one-off, but based on the multiple issues throughout the appointment, it did not feel like someone with advanced curly hair knowledge or technique. The owner did initially reach out afterward to try to rectify the situation, which I appreciated. However, after I responded, I unfortunately never heard back again. I had been very excited to come here because I've heard so many wonderful things about the salon, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I truly hope they take this feedback seriously because the salon itself has a great atmosphere and very kind staff.

    Great location. Hallie did a wonderful job on my haircut listening to exactly what I wanted.read more
