    The lighting in this place is excellent
    Marie H.

    One of the nicest salons I have ever been to. I loved the interior design and the wide selection of refreshments. The pricing was very fair got what I received. This is the best haircut I have had in a very long time. If also helps that is walking distance from my apartment, and the were also hosting a blanket drive, and I love when businesses are involved in the local community. There are two reasons this isn't a five star review: first, the online system on which you book appointments is clunky and often doesn't load correctly. I wasn't sure if my appointment was confirmed until the next day. Secondly, my appointment started almost half an hour late, making my haircut take much longer than normal.

    Makeup by Amber
    Nicole S.

    I was attending a wedding in St. Louis and wanted to have my makeup done as the wedding festivities were set to last over 12 hours. I found Amber while searching for a makeup artist, and once I saw pictures of some of her models, I knew I had to have her do my makeup. I contacted her because her schedule online didn't match with mine, and she quickly responded and was super helpful in setting me up with a time that worked better for me. Amber asked if I wanted airbrush, and I was nervous because I've never had it done before and pictures I've seen of girls with airbrush look super scary. I didn't want to look terrible, but she told me that she had the same hesitation when learning how to airbrush because of how she has seen it done before. She talked me into it, and she did a phenomenal job with it. She also asked what colors I typically use and am used to wearing, and I told her I'm a more neutral person and want to look natural. She said she can do that and do something "timeless" which made me a little nervous thinking that I would still have my normal look. She absolutely blew me away. You can see from the pictures that I look natural, but I still look so done up and classic. My eyes were done so beautifully that I wish I could do it myself! I even loved the lips so much that I emailed Amber a couple days later for the colors, and she emailed me back quickly with links to where I can purchase the product and the color she used. I received a lot of compliments on my makeup throughout the day. The bride and many girls attending the wedding had their hair and makeup done by a group of stylists that came to the hotel. Many of them (including the bride!) said that my makeup looked so good and that they wish they had done some research to find someone else that day. My only small complaint is that I ended up paying ~$125 before tip. The website said $85, and I knew I would pay more for airbrush and lashes, however I felt like that was quite a big jump in price. I looked so good that I happily handed over my credit card, but it would have been nice for Amber to let me know the costs up front so I knew what additional costs were being added.

    SeSe created an awesome up-do with my fine, straight shoulder length hair.

    Having called for a same day appointment and getting a recording, I none-the-less ventured over to the salon to see if I could get an appointment for an up-do, as I was in town for a wedding that night. No receptionist on hand, but I was warmly greeted by a stylist who directed me to another just-as-friendly colorist who explained they worked "by appointment" but she'd check to see if anyone could fit me in. Lucky for me that SeSe was available and led me to her chair. She asked me all the right questions and I knew immediately that I was in good hands. When I told her I didn't have any pre conceived ideas but wanted her to create what she thought was best, she took charge with confidence and seemed delighted to have complete creative control. I could not have been more pleased by the outcome. The up-do looked modern and chic and I received many compliments on my hair. Plus, not a single piece of hair escaped the meticulous pinning despite the heat, the humidity and the dancing at the reception. SeSe is a lovely person with a creative and visionary sense and shows a passion for being a stylist. I loved her energy and her approach. The shop itself is lovely and well appointed as many reviewers have mentioned.

    Balayage by Valerie
    Claire C.

    This is the cutest and coolest salon in downtown St. Louis. I had been searching years to find the perfect hairstylist in STL before I found Valerie. She is so talented and educated on how to make each person look their best. She knows exactly what I want and what will look best on me without me having to say a thing. My balayage is always so melted and perfect. Highly recommend this salon and Valerie!

    Jeni Wolff is a lovely #ladybarber with a bold personality at this upscale salon. Recommended for the old-fashioned straight razor face shave. She will even do the warm lather around your ears and neck if you ask. I went to Jeni for my summer buzz cut and she enthusiastically took care of me. She seemed to really enjoy working with the clippers. Kristen, the owner of the salon, does a good job with the whole place. Each chair in the salon is a separate business unto itself with it's own specialty. The atmosphere of the salon is nice and clean - lots of positive vibes. You can even have a beer while you're getting a haircut if you want. Why go anywhere else ?

I booked and paid $90 specifically for a curly haircut after explaining that I wanted more curl definition, styling guidance, and a cut tailored to my natural curls. Instead, the service felt more like a standard haircut than a specialized curly service, and I left unhappy with both the styling and overall result. Anna was very sweet and did try to correct the styling when she realized I was unhappy, which I appreciated, but ultimately the experience did not feel like the specialized curly service I had booked and paid for. UPDATE: The owner reached out after my experience and offered me a complimentary appointment with another curly hair specialist. I decided to give the salon another chance, and I'm very glad I did. My second experience was completely different. I was extremely happy with my hair and, just as importantly, I left feeling educated about my curls and confident that I could recreate the results at home. My stylist took the time to explain the techniques and products that worked best for my hair, which was exactly what I had hoped for from the beginning. I really appreciate the owner listening to my concerns and making an effort to make things right. While my first experience was disappointing, I'm very happy with how the salon handled the situation and with the service I received the second time around. I would definitely return for another curly hair service.

    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+.

    I did not want to leave this review, but after paying $700 and leaving with severely damaged hair,…read moreI feel obligated to warn others about my experience. I went to this salon because a stylist I had been seeing for over a year moved here. She had been maintaining my cherry cola color for about a year, and when she moved to The Boulevard, I told her I wanted to start the process of going back to my natural level 6 brown. I understood that removing red is a process and specifically told her I was completely fine doing it over multiple appointments. I also asked if we could keep the first appointment within a certain timeframe because I had dinner plans, and she agreed. My appointment was scheduled for noon. When I arrived, I sat alone for 30 minutes without being greeted, consulted, or acknowledged by anyone before my stylist finally came over. The appointment ultimately lasted 7 hours, and I had bleach on my hair for approximately 3 hours. When I left, my hair was severely damaged. In fact, my stylist knew it didn't look right because as I was leaving, she told me to "wear a ponytail to dinner." That is not something you say to a client who just spent hundreds of dollars and received a successful service. I have since shown photos from that appointment to other licensed cosmetologists, and multiple have told me the damage was evident as soon as the foils came out. I have always taken excellent care of my hair, use professional products, and have never experienced damage like this. My hair is now rough, difficult to manage, and completely different from how it felt before. I can't run my fingers through it, my natural texture is gone, and it is genuinely unrecognizable to me. I was so upset that I spent the entire weekend crying and had to miss work on Monday. When I called the salon Monday morning, I was told the owner would contact me. I never received a call. When I called back two hours later, the owner suddenly answered. She offered a free treatment if I came in immediately, but the first thing she said to me in person was, "It's not that bad." After spending two days devastated over the condition of my hair, that was incredibly dismissive and upsetting to hear. The owner then told me that the original stylist would perform my next treatment and that I could pay for a new color service. I explained that after what happened, I believed I deserved both a refund and a corrective color service. The stylist refused a refund, and offered the color service for free. I agreed to this, and then stylist put red back on my hair, leaving me looking almost exactly as I did before I started this process, except now my hair is badly damaged and I am out $700. I came to this salon because I trusted my stylist and trusted the salon to guide me through this process responsibly. Instead, I have walked out feeling worse every single time. The most disappointing part is that the owner never apologized, never took accountability, and never made a meaningful attempt to make this right. I wish I had never come here. I am now left paying for the damage done to my hair, and multiple people who have seen the condition of it have told me I should pursue legal action because of how severe the damage is.

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.

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.

I specifically told him that I liked the volume and length and wanted to keep it in some areas- mainly just refinements and adding more layers. Unfortunately, he essentially did the opposite and significantly tapered the back essentially undoing months of growing out. What's most frustrating is that this wasn't simply a misunderstanding about the style I wanted--I specifically pointed out the part of my hair I liked and wanted preserved, and that was the area where the most hair was removed. I had spent months growing it to that point, and now it will take several more months just to get back to where I was before the appointment. I understand that not every haircut turns out exactly as expected, but listening to the client--especially when they clearly identify what they do and do not want cut--is fundamental. I left feeling like my instructions weren't heard, and unfortunately this isn't something that can simply be corrected with another haircut. In my case, what a stylist charges and their "level" aren't indicators of their ability to listen or their skill. In the future, I'll ask what the stylist is planning to do before they proceed.

Rather than fix it in the salon, she told me to wet and scrunch them at home. They did not improve. When I had dinner with my grandpa the next day and he saw how awful my extensions looked said my hair looked like a "mop." Everyone who saw my hair was appalled at how awful they looked. After sending photos, neither the stylist nor the owner could acknowledge the obvious problem. The owner admitted the curl pattern wasn't an exact match but offered only a perm + reinstall, no refund. I was never shown the extensions before they were ordered, and Michelle the stylist told me that she had the "perfect extensions" to match my curl pattern. On top of the wrong curl pattern, the extensions were installed too heavily for my fine hair, leaving my scalp red, irritated, and scratched by sharp adhesive edges of the k tips .
