Curly hair girls-- take note: Natalie is truly exceptional. From the moment you sit in her chair, you feel welcomed, heard, and completely at ease. Not only does she have loads of experience cutting all types of curly hair, but she has an intuitive understanding of the nuances and crazy things about the spectrum of waves to curls. I love that Natalie takes the time to really get to know you--your hair goals, your lifestyle, and how much time you realistically want to spend styling your hair day to day. She made so many suggestions with her tricks and ideas of how to make the most of my waves/curls. This girl is incredibly talented! -- and also kind, good-natured, and so generous with her knowledge. She really gets it... she listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, and doesn't rush the process. Oh! and her shampoo/conditioner head massage is incredible. I've never ever felt so relaxed. I am SOOO happy with my curly cut and I'm super grateful that I found her. One last thing... What truly sets Natalie apart is that she teaches you how to care for and style your curls at home. While there, she explained which tools and products she was using, showed me how to do it, and then had me replicate it so she knew I understood how to do it. You leave her chair not just with a great haircut, but with clarity and confidence that you can have the same results at home. Fantastic! If you're looking for a stylist who specializes in curly hair and treats you with warmth, respect, and expertise, Natalie is a rare gem. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I am a curly-haired girl, and had been getting by with cutting and dying my own hair for years. I knew this wasn't the best thing I should be doing, but every experience I had with hair salons in the past was not pleasant and I was never happy with the results... until I discovered the ultimate Curly-Haired Specialist, Natalie Clark. She completely saved my hair. After I had my first curly hair cut, my hair looked and felt more healthy and manageable. I was delighted that my hair had this much potential. I got compliments on my hair before, but Natalie maximized the beauty of my hair and now I get complimented all the time. I can throw my hair any which way and it lands just right every time because of the cut Natalie gave me. She also colored my hair with natural-looking highlights which made each curl stand out on its own. Having Natalie work on my hair is my favorite treat, and I am extremely grateful she is so good at what she does. read more

I am a 44 year old curly girl. At times I have loved my curls, other times, not so much. Since hitting my 40s I have begun experiencing the "joys" of thinning hair! I have been to two other curly hair specialists in the area, and while they supposedly received the same training and utilized the same "curl by curl" dry cutting technique, the end result was really nothing special. Natalie cut my hair for the first time and she has set my curls free! My hair is sooo adorable, bouncy, and has a chic style that I wouldn't have even thought possible! I feel younger, sexier, much more stylish, and heck, even thinner (although my hair looks and feels thicker). My hair has life and movement. If you've ever watched "What Not to Wear" and saw the awesome cuts given by hairstylist Nick Arrojo and thought, "I wish I could get a cut like that" then by all means, GO TO NATALIE! You will not be disappointed, I promise! read more

Natalie does a great job at what she does. It took me awhile to decide who i wanted to go to for my haircut because it's been years since i've really had a hairdresser and not really too trusting about anyone doing my natural hair, especially cutting it. I have curly/kinky 3c/4a hair and wanted it layered to reduce detangle time while still keeping my length and it shaped up because it had no shape, just a lot of hair on my head. I'm glad i went to Natalie, it's been about 3/4 weeks since i went and i've noticed it's so much easier and takes less time to part and detangle my hair, it still looks very thick and has it's length but doesn't weigh me down as much. I will continue to go to Natalie for my hair needs : ) read more

Can't say enough good things about Natalie! She's been my stylist for almost five years, and I couldn't be happier. She's not just a stylist, though. She's a fashionista, she's funny, she's inspiring, and mostly she's a great friend. I only trusted her to make me fabulous on the most important day of my life - my wedding day! Natalie knows hair - all textures, formats, etc. She knows the science behind hair as well as the psychology of hair - how the perfect color and cut can make a woman more confident. She also knows the importance of taking care of your natural health in order to be naturally beautiful. I promise your experience with Natalie will be one of the best you've had! Call Natalie! read more

I can't say enough good words about Natalie Clark! She is a curly-girl specialist, but I have very straight, gray and coarse hair. She has figured out the best cut and the best products for my hair. (Honestly, I don't "do" products, but a super shampoo and conditioner that I get from her). I would highly recommend Natalie for so many reasons. If you want a haircut "experience" that is worth the time and money...from the gentle head massage at the beginning, to enlightening conversation and an all-in-all treat to yourself, you should try Natalie...you won't be disappointed! read more

I moved to Saint Louis last year and was nervous about having a new person cut my hair. However, now I have no idea how I survived without Natalie. She has transformed my hair into something beautiful and seems to always understand what I want. I have never been been more proud to be a curly girl. Her prices are reasonable and she is willing to work with a customer last minute if a special occasion comes up. I wish I could give her more stars than just 5. If you have curly hair will you will never a better haircut in your life. read more

Natalie is... without a doubt... the best stylist to have worked on my hair in the 35 years that I can remember having someone work on my hair! She is extraordinarily talented. I travel between the midwest and east coast and have received more compliments on my hair since Natalie has been cutting it than I ever received in my life. What I love most is that Natalie listens. She offers her thoughts and works with her clients to identify a look that compliments her/his lifestyle. And, lastly, her salon space is lovely. read more

I've been going to Natalie for a few years now and I must say she's fabulous. She is able to get my hair a light blonde without it looking bleached or trashy. I love the products she uses and the salon is so adorable. She has a knack for interior designing AND hair designing. She helped me recover from a truly horrible red hair dye job from a salon in southern Illinois. Plus, you get so much more than a cut and color- you get an experience. She makes the whole process fun. Definitely worth every penny! read more

Thank you Natalie!! I will always be back! read more

Natalie is truly the best curly hair specialist in town! I have curly hair & went to several stylists/salons before going to Natalie & basically found out that a lot of other people just tried to cut it as if it were straight. But Natalie does her homework, knows exactly how to handle curly hair & always makes it YOUR OWN. I'm so happy with my hair now! Totally worth it...just give her a call, you won't be disappointed! read more

Best hair cut I've ever had! I have thin hair and have always been very cautious to whom I let cut my hair, but I LOVE going to Natalie. She made me feel comfortable from the first day! She's super sweet and just great to be around. I would recommend her to anyone. My husband even goes to her and she rocks his hair every time. Definitely don't think twice about trying her out. You won't regret it! read more

Natalie did an amazing job cutting and styling my curly hair. I never found a hairstylist that I wanted to go back to for a repeat. Therefore, I have had some unfortunate haircuts in my past. Not only did Natalie take great care in giving me a great hair cut, she also taught me how to style my hair. This was so helpful because it's always hard to recreate what happened at the salon at home! read more

Natalie is amazing! I've had two hairstyles done by her so far, and I've absolutely loved both. She's friendly, talented, and has such a great personality. The salon, Acosta, is located in beautiful Lafayette Square, and there's plenty of parking, which makes the whole experience even better. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a stylist who truly cares about her clients. read more

I have been a client of Natalie's for almost 3 years now. When I came to her my curls had been so mistreated and I hated my frizzy "crazy" hair. After receiving a real curly haircut and lots of love, my curls are awesome! I have embraced my curls after years of envying girls with straight! Her attention to detail and kindness is overwhelming. You will love her too, read more
