I have gone here a couple times now for a haircut of my long curly hair. I enjoy that the process for booking something online is very simple and straightforward, they send you reminders, you were able to pre-pay, and they're easy to get in contact with. You can park on the street immediately in front on an hour by hour basis, or if you want to walk a couple blocks, you can park in the neighborhoods behind the main central West End area. When you enter, you are offered some tea or coffee or water, always something I appreciate. The receptionist is very welcoming as is the staff. I was very pleased with my curly haircut and conversation during the procedure! read more

Excellent service - The best hair salon in St.Louis! My stylist Alec is very talented and he does amazing job on my hair. They use Aveda products - wonderful! Their hair wash station is the most comfortable I've ever seen. Those chairs won't hurt your neck. They also have Aveda goodie bags for new customers! read more

Philip Johnson Salon and Spa - Aveda goodie bag for first timers - Hair Salons Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I have a regular mani/pedi at Philip Johnson Salon in the CWE and I absolutely love this experience. It's so refreshing to walk into the salon where Josh the owner greets you with a warm, friendly smile and he knows your name. Pamela does an outstanding job on my hands and feet. She uses Aveda products and nail polish options include the Zoya brand. I absolutely love the fact that the mani/pedi room is private-no cellphones ringing; no noise; no listening to other people's conversations; no chemical smells or odors-just an emphasis on total relaxation in a calming and healthy environment. Customer service at the salon is outstanding. Appointments can be made in person or online. Prices are reasonable and the location is convenient. Salon checks all the boxes for me. Highly recommend. read more

Had a really positive experience getting my hair washed and styled with Marina! She was very easy to talk to and did a great job on my hair - she blew it out and used an iron to curl my hair and the curls did not budge! They even held their shape until the next day (without my hair feeling stiff or crunchy!). The salon is very clean and professional with a warm and friendly vibe. It was my first time visiting this salon and they gave a nice little goodie bag after my appointment (they have these goodie bags for all their first time clients!). I love that they're an Aveda salon as well, Aveda is my go to hair product for sure! I will definitely be coming back when I'm in town! read more

I get my hair cut very irregularly, like sometimes going years between cuts... Well, I just got my hair cut AND COLORED (first time ever) plus I immediately made my next appointment for 8 weeks out. Marina listened to my concerns (which were admittedly few) and took off the 6 inches of hair that I've been wanting gone! The salon is open and bright and very attractively designed. Pressure is low to buy products, but Marina did show me what would work for my hair and what she used. I did have to ask for my Aveda goodie bag, though... read more

Title: If You Value Your Hair, Go Somewhere Else! I cannot believe how disastrous my experience at this salon was. I went in with clear instructions: grow out my layers and go a little lighter with my color. I walked out with shorter layers and darker hair! How does that even happen? It's as if they heard the exact opposite of what I wanted. On top of that, this place is a trap of hidden fees. I went in for a balayage that was supposed to be $125. I ended up getting charged for an "extra bowl of lightener" ($15), toner ($25), a root touch-up ($70), another "extra bowl of color" ($15), and a haircut I didn't ask for ($60). My total came out to an absurd $310! And the worst part? They used too much lightener, botched it, and then covered it up with toner, all while charging me for both. I walked out with hair I didn't want and a bill that felt like robbery. If you want a salon that listens, respects your choices, and is upfront about costs, do not come here. read more

Amazing salon with great stylists, I enjoyed the products they used for the haircut and it was a great experience. A little expensive, but worth the price! read more

Love this place! My experience has always been outstanding and the salon gives an upscale feel. A bit expensive, but it is Aveda products so you get what you pay for. This is my go to salon read more

Absolutely worst hair salon! I asked for highlights and an overall blonde look (booked with Daniel huge mistake) and somehow left with absolutely no change in my color at all! He charged me for extra color too, when again I left with my hair the same shade as I came with, no highlights could even be seen. He also left one foil laying wrong, resulting in a horizontal streak in my hair! I would save your time and money and get your hair done somewhere else! I wish I would have. read more

Moved to St. Louis recently enough that I didn't have a go-to salon yet. Philip Johnson has a convenient location in CWE. One downside that's good to know ahead: parking is metered. The salon is doing AMAZING with covid protocols. When you arrive, you are let in and immediately use hand sanitizer, fill out covid screening (with pens that are sanitized) and have temp taken. The stations have plexiglass dividers and there are limited appointments to allow for enough distancing. Staff were all wearing masks. I felt very comfortable with their safety precautions. The actual haircut and process was great - my stylist did exactly what I asked, was super friendly, skilled, and professional. She was careful not to cut too much and was able to make my hair look and feel much healthier! read more

I got my first cut here and the outcome is okay but nothing what I asked for. I asked for long layers, but there is no layers whatsoever, not even a tiny bit. Also Aveda treatment did absolutely nothing to my blond hair, it's still dry, waste of $25. All the products that were applied for volume worked only for 30 min. The stylist was professional tho, but she wasn't able to create what I envisioned, so I'm not coming back. Photos show what I wanted and what I got. Again the haircut is not bad, but I've had this type of haircut for years and I wanted something different. read more

Went spur of the moment while in St. Louis and couldn't be happier. Arianna was the perfect balance of offering advice without being too assertive. I had selected a bob from someone on insta and she recommended--after asking me lifestyle questions--that I go to collarbone length which was about an inch longer than originally intended, for versatility (being able to pull back into bun or pony if needed), and she was right on the money. Also her color selection perfectly blended with my existing situation. Highly recommend. read more

Awful experience. Amanda started to cut my hair without showing me how much she was going to cut off. No heat protectant was used and after asking for my hair to be blow dried and styled she responded with "it won't last, I would have to get a curling iron" which makes no sense. I have had my hair blow dried and styled tens of times from a salon. I left in less than 40 minutes which has never happened with the texture and length of my hair. She also did not show any signs of friendliness or compassion while confidently cut my hair. I asked for long layers and left with a trim and face framing. DO NOT GET AMANDA. I regret spending $68 and am genuinely still upset about my experience weeks later considering I trusted Philip Johnson with my hair before my college graduation. I paid money for services that were not fulfilled. read more

I have been going to this salon for 2 years now and I have been consistently impressed with my experiences here. This salon is cozy and has a elegant,cosmopolitan vibe to it. I recently saw Sarah and she did a great job; clearly a very experienced professional who is very talented with a blow dryer and a round brush. I had a great scalp massage, hand massage, and even some soothing guided deep breathing while she shampooed my hair. I have been referring my friends and family to this place-they too have great experiences here. The only downside here for me is that street parking is sometimes challenging to find. read more

Love this salon and now they offer Botox! Sophai, NP, worked with me to find the right amount of units to get rid of my deep crevice but not make me look frozen. And they offer B-12 shots! Love the salon offerings! read more

1. I really appreciated your COVID 19 protocol Established during our recent pandemic outbreak. It is pleasing to experience my nail tech's appointment schedule being respected. The reminders of upcoming appts is helpful. My visits are pleasant and relaxing. read more

Even though they've undergone a change in ownership and albeit some commensurate turnover in staff, the team here is as accommodative and professional as ever. BIG SHOUTOUT to my new stylist - Daniel - he's awesome! I moved back to St. Louis from Chicago 5 years ago where I had the same top-notch stylist for 10 years (hair-obsessed folks will understand the angst in replacing that relationship). I've been going to PJ for a while and it's not to say I wasn't pleased in the past, but Daniel's skills make me feel, for the first time, I've found someone who's as talented as my former Chicago stylist. He really makes cutting/styling your hair "a study" - very thoughtful, kind, and considerate in his approach to clients (better hold on to him Josh). read more

I traveled to St. Louis for my son's wedding and needed to make hair/makeup appointments for eight family members. Josh, the owner/manager, was extremely helpful and successfully accommodated all of our needs, with some advanced notice. Everybody was very pleased with the services we received. Easy walking distance from the Chase Park Plaza hotel. Special shoutout to Marina, Shonda, Madison and Alec! read more

My first appointment was yesterday with Heather Rasp. And really enjoyed it very much. Friendly people and a warm welcome atmosphere. Good advice and good alignment on what to do in further steps to tweak my red colour to where I'd like it to be. It will be my place to go for the time I'll stay in St. Louis for sure. I will post a nice Valentine picture tomorrow. read more

Philip Johnson Salon and Spa - Manuela Boyd after her new refreshed colour - Hair Salons Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Love this place and my new salon after my move to St. Louis. Have had Daniel and Natalie cut my hair and they did a beautiful job with my layers and got tons of compliments! read more

Excellent customer service and attention with genuine interest in making the appointment relaxing and comfortable. Best color (I'm dark blonde and had partial foil) and even though it was a partial, it was noticeable, tailored and enough for my fine hair (rather than some fixed # to service the company and not the customer). Trim and request for additional shortening was welcomed and asked in advance. Good ambiance and space. Best shampoo reclining electric chairs was best ever as I have neck issues. My stylist. Add soon. was read more

The staff were all very accommodating and honest on what could be done with my hair at the level it was at. Service was timely and my end results were great. No complaints. read more

One star- had my eyebrows done and they are UNEVEN. AND IM getting married in two days. 0 starts honestly. Do not get your eyebrows done

Daniel did an awesome job on my hair. He consulted with me before we started and really listened to me. My hair turned out exactly as I wanted and I'm very happy! read more

As has come to be expected, Daniel did a great job and I love my haircut! Bob

I had an appointment with Daniel after my previous stylist left. Daniel was great. He looked at the picture I brought and listened to what I wanted. He was gentle (previous stylist was not). My hair looked great when I left - good color and great cut. Thank you! I'm 70 with fine thin hair - not the easiest to work with. read more

I came here a few times for men's haircuts. The staff is very courteous and the place is very clean. They perform all the necessary covid countermeasures. I just wasn't happy with the haircuts. I came back because the location is convenient and I really hoped that the outcomes would be better with each subsequent visit, but it didn't happen. Overall it's a great friendly, clean salon but it didn't work out for me. read more

I recently wanted to do something fun with my hair, however, I was nervous at the same time because I have never colored my hair before and I did not want anything too over the top. I read the reviews of different salons around the area, and found that this place had many great reviews. I went to their website and set up an appointment over the weekend. They called me the following Monday. I got an appointment in and had Caroline do my hair. She listened to my concerns and I showed her some pictures of what I wanted my hair to look like. She delivered! It was beautifully done. End product? Subtle caramel bayalage highlights. Definitely going back to her if I want to do something else with my hair! I had an awesome experience getting my hair colored for the first time! Also, got some calming tea and a wonderful head massage in the process! Left the salon with not only what I wanted, but some additional goodies for being a first time client there! read more

Ever since I arrived to St. Louis three years ago, I have been looking for a hairdresser. Every hairdresser I ever went to was so uncreative with the hair cut. After searching online, a blogger strongly suggested Philip Johnson Salon (PJS). The salon is so classy and affordable. My hairdresser, Megan at PJS, is amazing! This is the first time I can honestly say I absolutely love my hair. It's stylish, fun and easy to manage. I have received so many compliments. Megan is now my hairdresser and I won't be looking around anymore. PJS is also a spa, but I haven't tried it out yet. I look forward to doing that soon. read more

If you need color correction go to Heather!! My hair was a hot mess & Heather worked wonders, plus she was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. The stylist I had originally seen messed up my color, but when I wanted it fixed they went above and beyond to make sure I got what I wanted. Great environment & great service! read more

This is way overdue but If you're in/around the Central West End, this is the place to go. They're so helpful with scheduling and the salon is just so relaxed and fun. Lindsay knows *exactly* what I'm wanting to do with cut and color and exceeds expectations every single time. I'm SO grateful I found her/PJ! read more

Always friendly, prompt, professional. They listen well and work with you to achieve what you want. I always have a good experience here.

Got a gift card for my mom, I called ahead before I bought it online and they were extremely friendly and patient, answered all my questions. And it seems like they're really up on their COVID preparations. Looking forward to going in with my mom next time I visit the area! read more

Caroline was amazing!!! Very personable & understood exactly what I was asking for. Will definitely be going back!

Philip Johnson Salon and Spa is my knight in shining armor. After wearing my hair a certain way for twenty years in SC, I moved here two years ago. Finding a hairstylist to give you a curly perm is a scary ordeal. You have to find someone new to trust. I had tried another salon but that did not work out at all. I had to make a consultation appointment which costs $25.00, but that cost would be taken off of the price of the perm. Made an appointment with Crystal to come back and have it done. I have my curly hair back and Crystal is a wizard. Philip Johnson Salon and Spa is friendly, clean and I will definitely come back for my next perm. read more

I had a lovely manicure with Pamela - I told her that taking care of my nails - a new habit for me - was making me more careful of my hands, and that's a good thing! I always appreciate the warm welcome by Mario or whoever is at the front desk - and also got a friendly "hello" from Heather, my stylist. PJS is an element of my feeling at home in my neighborhood. read more

Natalie gave me a beautiful haircut and I really appreciate the covid safety measures that the facility is taking. I requested an appointment online and they got back to me within 30 minutes, a very easy process. There is a lot of parking around the salon as well. Will definitely be going back. read more

LGBTQ+ friendly & always a great experience here. Everyone who works there is great at their job & i highly recommend them all. I noticed on my last appointment their licensed aesthetician will soon be offering more services as well. read more

I went here for a facial and was absolutely blown away with the patience and kind personality of Maddy! The price was great and the service was even better!! read more

Glossing treatment: this is perfect if you have a some color in your hair. The treatment will tone down the color and also add a lot of shine to your hair. The treatment will last 3 months. If you don't have color in your hair, you can do a clear coating and get the same effect! I usually get the glossing treatment every 2-3 mo whenever I get my haircut! Highly recommend! Staff is very nice. They will offer you tea or coffee. If this is your first time at the salon, you will get a goodie bag of free samples from Aveda! read more
