I flew in from the DMV for a wedding and did my research on yelp and Instagram for MUA in the area. I kept seeing Blush on the Blvd come up on my results and was happy to see they had just one availability left. During my appointment the conversation with Tara was great, she was kind and she made me feel comfortable during an already hectic day. When she completed I initially didn't even see my face, she recorded a clip on her phone and played it back to me and I was shocked. I looked amazing. My skin was filter flawless, my highlight was beaming so naturally too, my shadow was exactly how I wanted it but BETTER. I didn't even want to put my mask on for the Uber ride to the hotel to prevent it from smudging. Tara made sure my face was beat and it stayed beat and in place the entire night. We joked around how previous clients were wanting sleep in their makeup to push it the next day...... I get it. I stayed up an extra 30 minutes to make sure all pictures were taken. The next time I end up in Saint Louis for a wedding I'll make sure to have Tara in my schedule.

I said why would I not come if I've already paid. She said have you received an email from her canceling. I said no. 3 min later the email came with her canceling. She said she's on the way to a wedding so she's not coming back and I have to go. I said there's no way she was here and packed up in 5 min. She just rather did the wedding instead. Still haven't heard from her on my refund. I had Christmas pictures and had to cancel my pictures. I would not recommend!! Horrible work ethics and unapologetic. Not to mention I traveled from north county all the way to the south side.

I went to Loc Symmetry this past Sunday, October 31, 2021 for the first time, but it definitely…read morewon't be my last time! They performed a miracle on my SisterLocs. Since moving to Southern Illinois, I have had a few bad experiences previously that led to my grid being messed up and my locs combined in places where they shouldn't be. Honestly, I was so devastated that I was actually considering cutting my hair and starting over. Thank goodness for Cherrelle! Cherrelle was able to take her time and work her magic! She artfully corrected as many of the mistakes done by others as she could, explaining what she was doing (and apologizing if she thought she caused me pain--she didn't) throughout the process. I posted pictures of the end results below. Check out how clean my grid looks now. I actually have a middle part again and she removed nearly all of the knots and holes that would lead to breakage. Crystal is SisterLocks certified and also certified in Trichology, specializing in hair loss, and Cherrelle has years of experience as a Cosmetologist. The shop itself is beautifully decorated and clean, and the chairs they have for customers are the most comfortable I have ever sat in since I started going to a beauty shop. I mean true luxury for the booty! In addition to providing hair services, Loc Symmetry offers training at their Grid Academy, where student can "Learn to Earn" and become entrepreneurs themselves in the hair industry. Women helping others is always inspiring! Posh Cosmetics, LLC, another woman-owned business is also located at this address. As I was getting my hair done, I watched several women walk in the door pretty, and walk out the door GLAMMED after having their makeup done by Posh Cosmetics. When I tell you I am grateful to have found this shop, I ain't lying. It doesn't matter that Loc Symmetry is two hours away, it's worth the drive every six weeks. I can see why they have other customers willing to commute from further away. Co-owners Crystal and Cherrelle have great business sense, experienced and talented hands, wonderful customer service, and delightful personalities. I highly recommend this local, woman-owned, minority business. When you go by tell them Kindra sent ya!

I was hooked right away. CeCe does amazing work at a very affordable cost. She always takes the time to answer questions & explain everything while making sure you're enjoying whatever service you're receiving. CeCe & her husband are absolutely wonderful people and they have done a great job developing a business that is professional yet so welcoming at the same time. During my appointment today I was feeling unbelievably sick & CeCe could tell because we didn't chat nonstop during the hour like we usually do. When we finished, she insisted on giving me a foot detox and some hot tea to help me feel better. I sat down & her husband brought me a trash can because I was sooo nauseous! No joke- within 5 minutes of my feet soaking, I finally was able to get sick because it had begun detoxing already!!! When the 30 minute session ended, I felt 10000X better and it's been a couple of hours and I feel completely fine. 1) They are freakin geniuses and 2) As bad as I felt for getting sick, neither of them cared one bit. They both were only concerned with making sure I felt better before venturing home because they are truly great people. I drive 45 minutes every 2 weeks to see them, so that should definitely say something about how good she is at her job. Thank you for being the best CeCe!!

My first session with XOXO Alice was in 2018; it was purchased as a wedding gift for my husband. I…read morehad lost 100 pounds over the course of our relationship and was super nervous to have boudoir photos done because of how embarrassed I was by the loose skin that I had all over my body. I imagined options for outfits and poses would be very limited, and I would spend the whole time nervous as heck and hating myself. The super detailed instructions to prepare for the session were the first thing to set my mind at ease. I was glad to know I only had to personally bring SOME of the outfits I wanted to wear but that there was a full wardrobe of varying sizes waiting for me. I was greeted on the morning of the shoot by one of her kitty cats, which immediately made me feel more at ease. The conversation held between myself, Alecia, and the make-up artist that morning to determine the kind of photos we wanted to shoot was eye-opening and very information, though I felt like a shy newbie not having the answer on-hand when I showed up. Alecia used creative methods to get me the best shots possible and made me feel more at ease throughout the course of the day by cracking jokes to make me laugh and just have general conversation about shared interests (specifically pet birds). By the end of the day, I had come to love how my body was portrayed in a way I never knew was possible. The directions she gave throughout the shoot were kind and specific so that she got the exact bodily post and expression that she needed. My husband could not have been happier with the photos, and I will always cherish the self-esteem boost I left with. The second shoot I had was vastly different than my first. It took place in early 2022 while I was still scared witless about catching COVID-19. She had a process in place requiring each client to take a rapid test in their car prior to the session to confirm a negative result. This made me feel much safer considering she was the first person  outside my family and close friends that I would spend a day around maskless since the pandemic began.  Some relevant background information includes something that developed over the course of time since the initial photoshoot: this included the onset of chronic (nearly constant) pain in my neck, shoulders, and upper and lower back that is greatly flared by too much motion of my joints that were weakened by illness and major surgery recovery. I was nervous as all get-out to reach out to Alecia to see if I could request a session (via one of her model-calls on her Facebook page) thinking that I would be too hard to work with due to my physical limitations. Remembering how much I had to move or bend during the first session, I thought it would be impossible to have a similar experience again. My weak and painful body had driven me to hatred and depression because my body had all but given up on me. I had also put on a teensy bit of weight due to my inability to exercise. Alecia assured me that she could work with me to show me that my body wasn't to be hated and was confident that she could use feedback given by myself during the session to ensure she didn't cause an excess of pain. She ended up discussing my changing life situation while makeup and hair were being handled. Not only did she make me feel like a "normal" person regardless of my illnesses and pain, she made sure I knew that she saw me as no less of a woman or model. She did a lot of moving and shifting to accommodate my decreased abilities of motion and took my inability to stand for long periods of count all into ability when choosing the outfits and poses. We even made a sort of silly game out of taking water breaks since I am required to drink far more water than most people; she was sure to take a water break whenever I did and made sure I ate when I needed to. I was so shocked by the resulting images and felt like she helped me along the first step of accepting my new disability by taking myself for how I am and not just hating my own existence. I know this may seem like a little much to come out of a boudoir photography session, but she has a magical way of seeing everyone she photographs the way they need to be and deserve to be seen. I am already saving up for my next photo shoot! The first one was for my significant other, but all additional ones are purely for me!

Even before moving, I had done pretty extensive research for a trustworthy hair stylist in anticipation and Studio 89 was one of the top picks; even after monitoring my options over the span of a month, it remained the best. I tried to make an appointment online but had some technical issue so I called instead. This was all done the morning of, and yet they were able to have me come in later that afternoon. It's a clean, small space but it's got everything you can imagine. There's plenty of parking in front of the salon. Tiffany was my stylist, and I was warned that she was going to charge more than the other stylists due to her experience (note -- all stylists charge differently based on this). As a Californian who has paid way too much for the simplest of cuts, I can genuinely say Tiffany's surcharge was 1000% worth it. She was so kind and personable, and that really made the experience. She gave me her honest thoughts and was very communicative throughout the process. She really gave me the exact hairstyle I asked for after barely flashing her a photo, and I'm so endlessly impressed! Despite constantly cycling through short hair, I've actually never liked myself in it very much. However, Tiffany's work allowed me to feel more confident in rocking a short cut than I've ever felt! I've received tons of genuine compliments on her work, and I feel so lucky to have met her. Tiffany -- thanks for the sushi recs and candid conversation, and for being my first friend in St. Louis!

The salon is based on appointments only so would highly recommend making an appointment prior to visiting.
