Like many girls, I do not play when it comes to my tresses, so believe me when I tell you that you can trust this woman with your hair care needs. She stays up to date on current trends and is constantly improving upon her color game. I've been going to her for years (over a decade) for my color. A few years ago, I needed (wanted) fuchsia (yes, hot pink!) highlights. She put the prettiest, most fierce fuchsia color in my hair. I got compliments everywhere I went. So naturally, when DD expressed a desire for a particular shade of red locks, there was no question as to who we'd use to get the job done. We were flying home (to STL) for the holidays, so I called Loretta and she was sweet enough to squeeze us into her very hectic schedule. My DD is SO pleased with the results. Loretta was able to get the exact shade of red that DD wanted; not too bright, but not too dark. And the best part of it is that her hair is still shiny and healthy; not dull and dried out, like after some coloring treatments (elsewhere, of course). Now I want a nice shade of red for the summer. I'd better book my flight to STL, and get 'er done! I truly appreciate Loretta's professionalism and courtesy. She inspected DD's hair, let me know that a trim would be needed, and she provided me with a detailed breakdown of how much everything would cost me BEFORE doing the work. I love this! There's nothing worse than a "surprise" after the work has already been done. Furthermore, she is all about healthy hair and hair care. She will inform you of any risks associated with certain colors (like blondes), and she encourages healthy hair practices and routines. I focused on hair color, but Loretta is great with cuts and so many things. She works with all hair types too, from fine to course, natural to relaxed. There are other professionals working at PT Salon, including the owner, and everyone is always nice and welcoming. My experience, however, is only with Loretta. PT Salon is located in a strip mall with Las Palmas restaurant, west of I-170, but east of Lindbergh & Ashby, on the south side of Page Ave. I suggest calling ahead for an appointment. Hours vary by stylist.

This Hair "Boutique" came highly recommended by a colleague at work as a highly qualified stylist capable of doing the crochet style that I was looking for. I have very fine and thin hair that requires using a net and double knotting each twist to ensure the twists stay secure. I tried to explain this to Monet, the owner and only stylist employed at this salon, but she informed me that she would use neither. The end result looked great but three twist fell out before I even made it home. Subsequently the entire front section fell out by the end of the night. I called her the next day to see of she could redo it the way I asked her to to begin with. After trying to reach her several times throughout the next day she never returned any of my calls. On the third day she texted me saying that not only would not repair the section which fell out but was also not willing to continue to be my stylist and that I should find someone else. I tried in vain to contact her so we could discuss her response but she refused to return my calls or texts. So if that wasn't unprofessional enough I stopped by her shop so I could show her how he twists were continuously slipping out, and here's the kicker: SHE CALLED THE POLICE ON ME AND ASKED THEM TO ESCORT ME FROM THE PREMISES FOR HARASSMENT!! Apparently, she is not qualified to work with thin hair and just didn't have the courage to admit it. These are pics of her "expertise: July 3, 2019 6:58pm - July 4, 2019 8:42am

Even before moving, I had done pretty extensive research for a trustworthy hair stylist in anticipation and Studio 89 was one of the top picks; even after monitoring my options over the span of a month, it remained the best. I tried to make an appointment online but had some technical issue so I called instead. This was all done the morning of, and yet they were able to have me come in later that afternoon. It's a clean, small space but it's got everything you can imagine. There's plenty of parking in front of the salon. Tiffany was my stylist, and I was warned that she was going to charge more than the other stylists due to her experience (note -- all stylists charge differently based on this). As a Californian who has paid way too much for the simplest of cuts, I can genuinely say Tiffany's surcharge was 1000% worth it. She was so kind and personable, and that really made the experience. She gave me her honest thoughts and was very communicative throughout the process. She really gave me the exact hairstyle I asked for after barely flashing her a photo, and I'm so endlessly impressed! Despite constantly cycling through short hair, I've actually never liked myself in it very much. However, Tiffany's work allowed me to feel more confident in rocking a short cut than I've ever felt! I've received tons of genuine compliments on her work, and I feel so lucky to have met her. Tiffany -- thanks for the sushi recs and candid conversation, and for being my first friend in St. Louis!

Short version: My nails are FIRE!! Leo COOKED!…read more A few small things could be improved (I elaborate below), but overall I'm obsessed with my nails and will return! Unabridged version: I have a go-to nail tech in STL, but she went back home for five months, so I have been fervently searching for a backup. After perusing countless hours of TikTok and ig posts, I decided to try this new AQ Nail Spa in UCity (AQ is a chain). Their instagram page boasts, "We can do any designs you want." Bold statement! I wanted to see if they could live up to it. I called one evening last week and requested an appointment. As I always do when I'm visiting a new nail salon, I requested their best nail technician; a tech who is excellent with designs, freestyle, and shaping long stiletto nails. I reiterated this about a dozen times in that 3 minute conversation (due to past experiences with people not listening or honoring this request). The receptionist assured me that he heard me and promised to put me with "the owner, his brother, or his best friend" verbatim. I arrived for my appointment and was greeted immediately. After I introduced myself and explained my previous conversation with the receptionist, a man informed me to sit in the first chair. He ended up being my technician. He was very nice. He pulled out my chair for me and asked if I wanted something to drink. He asked what I wanted and he offered suggestions. We ended up deciding to do a refill on my existing acrylics. He took a picture of the inspirational photo that I showed him so he could revisit it along the way, then he went to work. WHAT I LOVED CARE: I had one split/damaged nail that was hanging by the skin. Leo was so awesome with handling me with care as to not cause me any pain. That nail was off before I knew it! He was also careful with the drilling. Those drills usually cut my sensitive skin, but he was pretty good about avoiding my skin. QUALITY & DESIGN The fact that Leo looked at that inspo picture and killed it the way he did... I'm in awe! The shaping was good. The 2 nails that he had to fix/replace were slightly less curved than the others, but he was excellent with the filing and buffing. No rough edges or bumps on the nail surface. No color or paint on my skin. He took his time and did not rush. Although somehow my 2 thumbs ended up having different designs. I'm not sure if it was intentional or if something happened with the gold foil (see photo). No biggie, just an observation. But he picked the perfect color and adornments to accomplish the desired look for my nail set. ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT Ask first: My nails were filed down to be noticeably shorter than they were before. Most techs ask if you want them shorter, to which I always reply no. But he did not ask. Maybe he forgot. Maybe he thought he did. Maybe he got carried away during the filing and accidentally went too short. I typically don't stare at the techs while they work because I don't like people staring at me when I'm working. So that's why I didn't know he was filing them down so far. They're still long, but they were longer. It's a small quip. Pressured reviews: After he took photos of my nails he asked me to write a review, which is fine. I said I would. Then he asked for my phone to "show me" how/where to go to write the review. (I laughed internally. Bless his heart. Little did he know...) I played along and gave him my phone. He took a picture of my nails to upload for the review. All of that is ok. What's not ok is me getting my phone back and seeing that he had entered 5 stars on my behalf. If I didn't love my nails so much I'd have lowered my rating to 2, because that was way too brazen for my liking. I speak for myself. Pricing; If you've read my previous reviews, you'll know that I am very outspoken about transparency in pricing. When Leo was done with my nails, I walked up to the desk to pay. In seconds he quickly wrote down a number to give to the receptionist- $150. I thought this was a fair price for his great work. I simply asked for a breakdown for my own reference. It took so long to come up with that breakdown. And when I got it, there were no itemized notes/services, just a list of numbers written on paper. When I asked him to explain he tried but some of the numbers weren't adding up. e.g. $20 to fix 2 nails, when the website says $5 per nail. Again, I have NO issues with the cost of my nails, they are 100% worth it, but I need them to have clear pricing. They should be able to input services rendered into their system and an itemized receipt should be provided with all services. Simple as that. Overall, this was a 4.5 star experience. A week later and I'm still staring at my nails in admiration. I get compliments everywhere I go. I am so happy that I lucked up with Leo; he's extremely talented! I will be back.

There are so many great things to say about YouTopia. Let's start with the atmosphere--the salon is open and inviting, everyone who works there greets you with a genuine smile. My stylist, Sharon, is a gem! I have been going to her for about twelve years. She NEVER EVER overbooks--my appointment time is my appointment time. She talks to me about what she is doing to my hair, helps me decide what to do when I'm in a hair funk (cut, color, or what?!--you've been there, right?!) with out telling me what to do, listens to my hair questions or concerns, gives feedback on things I can do at home, helps me keep my hair healthy, and lastly, she treats me like I'm valuable to her as a client and as a person. read more

If you are just going to get your hair cut, they will do an excellent job. My sister also gets her hair dyed here all the time and leaves perfectly satisfied. Unfortunately, what I would NOT recommend is coming to get a balayage treatment done. I have never dyed my hair in the past and decided to do something different for a change. Having coming from Manhattan, I was intent on trying something different for $200 as opposed to $500. I figured with balayag being a very trendy style right now, the stylist had to have a ton of practice. After all, It is pretty hard to mess up -- especially when I show you a picture before hand. When I came in, I was completely brunette. And when I left I did not have a balayage (where my brown hair would gradually turn into blonde) but on the contrary, I was completely blonde with dark roots. Really not at all like a balayage. In fairness, my hair is extremely long. And thick. The appointment itself took 3 hours. I feel that the error came from both lack of experience and also management of time. We ran 30 minutes over into the next client's appointment (poor thing) and I felt like it was a rushed job. She didn't end up actually styling my hair because she ran out of time. I suppose a little of this is on me because I should have ensured she REALLY LOOKED at the picture. I was like here's the picture. She very quickly relied "oh I totally got it! I can do that" This was several months back and the reason I write about it now is because I now am having to pay almost $500 for a color correcting and CORRECT balayage. Moral of the Story: salon dacota is great. Just not for balayage. If you are wanting to do that, splurge and go somewhere that specializes otherwise you may end up paying more. Hope this is helpful!

My stylist, April, who I've been going to for several years recently started working here. April is…read moregreat at giving me a low maintenance cut and I fully trust her - even with getting bangs for the first time in about 30 years! I also recommend her if you want to do a fun fashion color. The salon itself is progressive, eco-friendly, and inclusive. The stylists chose a flat hourly rate with no tipping. I think this flat rate really simplifies the process and eases my tipping anxiety. They have gender neutral pricing and offer silent appointments. They really care about their stylists abd clients. And they have an amazing Shining themed bathroom and a fun record swap in the waiting area!

Cute salon that has a laid back and welcoming vibe. Sarah cut and colored my hair and did a…read moreFANTASTIC job! I absolutely recommend her. She did a great consult, listened, and made sure I was happy with the finished cut and color. She also did a great job with my brows! The salon is in a remodeled older house with beautiful natural light and big windows. I felt like I was at somebody's home, having a chat, and getting dolled up. It was wonderful after a year of "pandemic chic" hairstyle! Sarah and the staff there were great with COVID safety precautions. I waited outside until my turn and got the text to go in. Once inside, we all wore masks the entire time, and staff kept areas sanitized and clean. Parking is around back and street side as well. Side note: The shop is conveniently located close to some of my favorite food stops too - so girl's day out to pamper myself was a resounding success!

I highly recommend my stylist Megan. She is fiercely talented and I have always left her chair 100%…read morehappy!
