I've brought several friends to see her who were looking to do drastic changes and she performed them with ease. I've been a little light in the pocketbook recently (I mean reallllllly light, because she definitely is affordable), so I haven't been able to get back recently, but plan to ASAP. Also, totally worth the drive, just don't go in rush hour. Thanks, Beth!

She explained the basis behind what she was doing & was politely updating me on which stage we were at during the process. She's incredibly knowledgeable and sweet as can be. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. This would also be a great gift idea. Quality skincare in a relaxing spa-like room, located in quaint O'Fallon.

She brought in inspiration photos and explained exactly what she wanted to her stylist. Unfortunately, the results were nothing like what she asked for and she left extremely upset. When I contacted the salon to address the situation, the owner's response was completely unprofessional. Instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue, he spoke to both my daughter and myself in a very disrespectful and inappropriate manner. As a business owner, the way you speak to your customers matters. A man should never talk to a young woman or any client the way he spoke to us. Based on the way the owner handled this situation alone, I absolutely do not recommend this place.

I recently went to this salon for a partial balayage and long haircut, and unfortunately my…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing. My hair was completely botched. I asked for a small trim, but the stylist cut 5-6 inches off my hair, leaving it very uneven. The balayage was also not done properly. Instead of a blended balayage, my hair is streaky, patchy, and poorly blended. It was barely toned, and now my hair has orange and yellow spots throughout it, which looks nothing like the inspiration photo I showed before the appointment. Before the service even began, I specifically told the stylist that I had previously used Kristen Ess hair gloss on my hair, so she was fully aware of my hair history going into the appointment. Because of how upset I was, my mother contacted the owner to discuss the situation. When he called me, he said the only way I could receive a refund was if I came back in and let him fix it. I was not comfortable with that, since my hair had already been ruined by this salon. During the call, he then tried to blame the outcome on the fact that I had previously used Kristen Ess hair gloss, implying that the result was somehow my fault--even though I had already informed the stylist of that beforehand. That also does not explain the uneven haircut, streaky color placement, or the lack of proper toning. Overall, the way this situation was handled was extremely unprofessional. My hair looks nothing like what I asked for, and instead of taking responsibility, the owner was dismissive and rude. I am very upset with both the service and how the situation was handled afterward. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this salon based on my experience.
