I would not recommend it, especially if you have dark hair and are looking for color services…read more My hair color turned out nothing like what I expected. The final result has three noticeably different colors and looks extremely uneven and incoherent. One section is yellowish, another is darker, and the overall color does not blend at all. During the process, they bleached my hair once, and then applied lightener directly onto my scalp without any protection, which caused my scalp to feel painful and irritated. After washing it out, my hair was clearly not light enough for the intended color, yet the just told me they can do nothing about it, and they tried to bleached it partly, but still it is not working. Then they went ahead and applied the color anyway. I was told "it will just be darker at the top," but the actual result looks far worse than that. What upset me most is that they never clearly explained what the realistic final result would be if my expectations could not be met. A professional salon should communicate honestly and let the client decide whether to proceed, and they should have told me at the beginning if they cannot do this service well. Instead, I was charged full price, and I added a 15% tip, despite being extremely unhappy with the outcome, and the total is about 534 but they did not give me receipt or anything with details of charges. This was a disappointing experience and felt very unprofessional. If you have dark hair, I would not recommend coming here for hair coloring.

Very sad. My appointment was at 5pm with Sam and came here little early and she started with my…read morehair root touch up(it is single color, not an expensive style like balayage) at 4.50pm, she was done by 5:12pm. A new customer (with balayage) showed up right away (either she was a walk-in or Sam double booked herself for the same time of my appointment) and Sam started working on new customer's coloring on another seat right by me. I saw her rushing. After 45 minutes(at 6pm), my scalp was burning and got itchy. And told her immediately about it, she told me it was only 35 minutes(not true) and she said that color can stay up to 35-40 minutes. She has never done this, usually washes my hair after 20-25 minutes. And she knows my scalp is sensitive because we had the same issue before with a shampoo she used. She had to change it. After all I paid $75 for bang trim and root touch up, tipped her 15%. I am hoping this was only one time issue and if they fix it I can update my reviews. Today my scalp is still itchy. I have to wash and see if it helps. UPDATE: Washing my hair next morning helped. Found out there are few spots never touched! Poor service this time.

I'm not sure what I'd do without my Bela from Hair essentials. I've been going to her forever…read more She's a master at coloring and highlighting, her cuts are exceptional, and she puts up with all my nervous hair customer traits. She's also funny and a great conversationalist. Over the years I've watched other stylists in there and they are all really good. It's a very age- diverse group of clients. Highly recommend Bela and anyone else at Hair Essentials. :)

I was introduced to the @mindfulstylist back in 2016 when my previous stylist made a career change…read more That change put me in the hands of a true artist and Master Hairstylist Denise Hejna. I've met many stylists who were talented at coloring hair, cutting hair, or extensions and never all three until Denise. The difference is her knowledge, training and passion to make every women feel beautiful and empowered. She has this creative spark that shines through her work and my hair. I can't stress enough how much I enjoy seeing her, probably because she's a life coach too. Always that positive, creative, self love activist you never met before. Denise shares her work on social media, because she's excited for us and our hair journey. All good artists share their work, because their proud of those accomplishments. Honestly, never trust anyone who doesn't share their professional profile. No matter how glamorous that salon you've been eyeing is. Good luck on your personal journey and if you're lucky like me you'll meet Denise.

What impressed me the most was that once my hair had fully grown back, she removed the extensions and my natural hair was completely healthy and undamaged.

I have been so happy with my hair every step of the way and trust her completely. If you're looking for a talented stylist who genuinely cares about the health and beauty of your hair, I highly recommend Rylee!

I decided to try a new approach, figuring my hair hasn't worked in years, lets see what Jeans suggestions can do, 'what can I lose if it has looked awful for years', was my approach. So basically, I picked the perfect hair stylist to step out of my comfort zone in over 10 years, and my hair has never looked better!!! I am seriously in shock and so is my boyfriend and close friends. My hair has life, health and body all from a gloss color and hair cut. Who would have thought in a minimalist hair situation. Jean is that talented! Because I sat back and listened to Jean's recommendations, I now have hair I didn't think I could have back. I definitely won't be going anywhere else and am extremely lucky to find her within the fish bowl of stylist here in STL. Thank you Jean, Very pleased client

I've really come to trust Jean and actually look forward to my appointments now. She also is such a fun and hilarious person so our appointments are always a great time! Definitely check her out even if just for a simple haircut :)
