    Need a updo hairstyle for a wedding, Lawanda was my hairstylist. She did an amazing job!  Most definitely will return very soon!

    I desperately needed my hair done for a wedding, an updo. And Lawanda was my hair stylist and did an amazing job!! I most definitely will go back again in the nearest future!

    Final hair results before the wedding.

    I just want to thank the entire staff at Sweethead for making me feel welcomed and truly taken care of. Everyone from the jump greeted me and had such uplifting spirits. I had a minor situation that could have turned everything upside down due to simple miscommunication. I needed a sew-in, but didn't have any bundles in hand. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm the middle of my blow out the owner had her lovely sister, Michelle, take me to the local beauty store in their company van to buy bundles. We came back to the salon ready to work on my hair. But to make matters worse I now had a time crunch to get this done for before a wedding. Lawanda, Kiara, and the rest of the team miraculously got me in and out of their salon on time and looking like a dream. I would recommend them to anyone visiting the area and love that they keep everything natural with their products. If I could give them anymore stars I would.

    Right after she did my hair!

    I am surprised that no one has reviewed this place yet. It really is a hidden gem. I went to Sweethead naturals about 9 months ago for a cut, blow dry, and flat iron. At this point I had been natural for a little over 3 years. My hair was not in the best shape and I wanted a little guidance. My experience with hairdressers and natural hair had been awful thus far (check out my previous reviews). I am so glad that I found this place online. I had an appointment with the owner of the salon Lawanda Brooks. When I arrived I was immediately sent to the shampoo area. The woman who did my shampoo and conditioner asked if my hair had already been detangled. I told her that I suck at detangling and really hadn't done a good detangling in 2 years (yeah... I know. I know... ). She was patient and thorough during the process. I was worried that because of the poor condition of my hair and my laziness ( I hate detangling) that she would be ripping my hair through the comb. I am so thankful that this didn't happen. She shampooed and conditioned my hair while it was in sections ( I have a large mane). This allowed her to get rid of all the build up in my hair and slowly go through the detangling process. After the shampoo and conditioning, I met the owner for my cut, blow-dry and flat iron. What impressed me about this process was that no oils were used. I did not want my hair to burn under the hot flat iron and oil (something I think you see too often). Lawanda was great to work with. She answered all my questions, she asked me questions about my hair maintenance, and she gave me great advice. Before cutting my hair she showed me how much she was taking off before proceeding. When she was done, I almost cried. My hair was straight, beautiful, soft, and slick. Exactly what I had hoped for. This was by far one of my best hair salon experiences. It is important to note that this place has their own shampoo and conditioner line. They make everything at the shop. I loved it and bought some on my way out. While I may be leaving St. Louis I do plan on using their online shop to buy more of their products. Check out their website! I highly recommend going to this salon There are a lot of natural hair salons popping up but you need to be careful about who you let do your hair. You went through a long transitioning process or big cut. You finally love your hair texture, don't let an untested natural hairdresser undue all your handwork. You can not go wrong in this salon.

    Got my natural hair straightened without clipping my ends(which were horrible to say the least). Lol. They did a fantastic job!!

    Sweethead naturals straightened my natural hair, non-chemically, and without clipping my ends(which were horrible to say the least). Lol. I think they do a fantastic job!! All of the stylist are taught by the owner and she takes pride in what she does. I have not had a bad experience in any of her establishments yet and I don't believe I ever will.

    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

What I left with was a chemical war zone on my scalp and hair that looked like it had been through a haunted car wash. The stylist completely botched my color. It was patchy, uneven, and flat-out fried. I looked like a spaghetti squash that had been left out in the sun. Worse. I went back to give them a chance to fix it and it somehow got even worse. The stylist acted like they had never seen a toner in their life and honestly seemed like they were not in a sober state to be handling bleach or scissors or any other living creature for that matter. I ended up going to another salon just to undo the damage and they were horrified at what had been done to my hair. After spending over six hundred dollars and enduring two appointments from hell, my hair is still damaged beyond repair. Think straw with commitment issues. Do yourself a favor. If you value your hair, your time, or your dignity, run in the opposite direction. This place should come with a warning label and a fire extinguisher.

    I genuinely do not like leaving bad reviews, especially because I've been coming here for almost…read moretwo years, but today was quite literally my final straw. I've gone here consistently since moving to St. Louis for haircuts, root touch-ups, color, all of it. I also truly do not care who I'm assigned to. I'm not one of those clients who needs one specific stylist every single time. I just expect basic communication, decent service, and for my appointment to actually make sense when I arrive. Coordination! Unfortunately, the vibe here has always felt off The front desk is rarely welcoming. Half the time, no one greets you, acknowledges you, or makes you feel like they are happy you're there. The energy can feel very cliquey, dismissive, and honestly kind of performative. It gives "we're all a family here," but somehow the client is not included in the family. I've overlooked a lot because I liked the actual hair services. I've waited 30 minutes past my appointment time before. I've had appointments moved around. One time, I was sent to the Webster Groves location, got there, and was then told I actually needed to go to Des Peres because they could not take me. Like...okay gas?? But today was what officially did it for me. I booked a root touch-up before a photo shoot tomorrow and a trip next week. I sent pictures and a description of what I wanted directly to the stylist beforehand. I've also had this exact type of service done through this salon multiple times, usually for around $250, so this was not some random mystery appointment. I arrived and waited around 30 minutes to be assisted, only to then be told it would cost over $400. And to be very clear, I am not asking anyone to lower their prices, undervalue their work, or change their hourly rate for me. Charge whatever you charge. That is fully your business. My issue is: why was none of this communicated nor coordinated before I showed up? You had my appointment details. You had the pictures. You had my description. You had my client history from the past two years. If the service was now going to cost almost twice what I normally paid, or if I had supposedly booked the wrong category, somebody should have figured that out before I arrived, waited 30 minutes, and left with absolutely nothing done. Even the stylist seemed surprised by how I had apparently been charged or categorized during previous appointments, which honestly just made the whole situation feel even more disorganized. That is an internal coordination issue, not something that should suddenly become the client's emergency while they are sitting in the chair So now I have a photo shoot tomorrow, a trip next week, and no hair did or done because this salon could not communicate beforehand. After nearly two years of being a loyal client, I'm done overlooking the rude front desk energy, the scheduling confusion, the long waits, and the constant lack of coordination. The actual talent may be there, but the overall experience is not. I will not be coming back. Respectfully, the vibes are not worth $400+.

This spot had great reviews and was literally around the corner so it was worth a try. A little more expensive than my current wax, but my time and energy was worth more than saving a couple dollars.
