During my wedding makeup trial my makeup artist raved about this place-she insisted that this is…read morethe only place to go for a facial in the St. Louis area. Needless to say, I had a fantastic facial here exactly a week before my wedding. While on the more expensive side of facials available in the St. Louis area, I definitely feel like the level of service was worth the price ($150 for Avani's essentials facial). The facial lasted almost 70 minutes and included a microderbrasion, intense eye treatment, a few extractions, dermaplane (so the airbrush makeup would look better) and many lotions, creams, and potions. I had been expecting to also complete a glycolic peel but I was told that I now had excema on my face, so that plan was scrapped. Instead I ended up with a long-lasting gel on my face to intensely moisturize my face. There was a short shoulder/upper arm massage toward the end of the facial as well. The facial itself was very relaxing and my skin was still soft and moisturized a week later!

I highly recommend Avani to anyone looking for quality care in a warm, professional environment!

The lady who works on Thrusdays and Sundays is so professional, polite, and makes this process less painful. She removes the hair from your face so fast that it doesn't hurt as much as it could.

Would highly recommend. The facility is clean and they do a good job in cleaning up your face after the services.

She is a pro with brows too! She's so good at what she does that everyone wants to book her. So book early because she books up fast! I just left from getting a Brazilian yesterday. It had been 3 months since my last one. 3 MONTHS! Regulars know that you reallly need to have this done every 6 weeks. Not only is it best for maintenance, but it's also best for minimizing pain. The longer the hair, the more painful the Brazilian is. So it's an understatement to say that I was so very scared of "the pull". But I was utterly shocked when Zahra said she was finished with the front!! Finished??!! How?! I didn't even feel it! Zahra's technique is so advanced that she has mastered the art of pain-free waxing, even in "that" area! It's truly astounding! This is the type of employee and skill that changes an experience/task from dreadful to delightful. Maybe she should try dentistry next? lol Thank you, Zahra!

I found out about this location on a whim, I was headed back out of town and had a flight and forgot I didn't get my eyebrows done. All these years later, I still don't trust anyone else to do them. I was told about this location, that it would be open until 6 o'clock on Sunday; and I rushed down the street. Just so you know this location is right off of 270 and Manchester. Drive like you are going to West County Mall, go past the mall and it is on the right side in the plaza with Schnucks, right next to Five Guys. Threading has been the go-to for facial hair removal for a minute and here is why: No burning of skin (with waxing you can lose a layer and the hair never grows back); no harsh chemicals; not as costly as other forms of hair removal; hair doesn't grow back as fast; no mess; and you are in and out quickly. Is it painful? Not as much as other forms of hair removal and we all know the old adage, no pain no gain. On average threading lasts for 3-4 weeks. How is this done? Well,​the ​ thread is used, pulled taut in order to accurately and precisely remove each hair. The space? Nice and clean with two seats to do the threading and a waiting area. Whenever you get an eyebrow threading you get a stamp on a frequency card. Threading can also be done all over the face (lip, chin, sideburns etc.). Threading gives you a custom brow to frame your face; so, everyone doesn't walk with those thin, overarched brows. You leave with natural, not overdone eyebrows. Ladies, let's keep it cute shall we (gentleman too, no unibrow crew) - beautifully frame your eyes while highlighting your best features. Don't forget you deserve it!

St. Louis Skin Solutions is clean with a pleasant, relaxing ambiance, and the technician I worked…read morewith was professional and attentive. However, it provided NO help whatsoever in removing my dark pigmentation or melasma. I initially sought treatment for melasma. The laser treatment was completely ineffective, and the subsequent Enlighten Depigmentation System triggered a severe full-body rash approximately 2.5 years ago. The rash was so intense that it required rocky and enormous medical helps to calm it down. After that difficult period, I managed my skin issue on my own. Through more than 2.5 years of focused self home care, I successfully cleared approximately 99% of my melasma using a simple daily regimen centered on Vanicream products. The results came entirely from my self home treatment -- NOT from this facility. A. For Professionals: If a client discloses that they have sensitive skin, I strongly recommend implementing a 72-hour patch test followed by a 5-day monitoring period as a standard precautionary step. This is far more effective than relying solely on a liability waiver. B. For Future Customers: Laser treatments or chemical peels might provide temporary surface-level improvement and a short-term glow, but if underlying internal factors (such as toxin accumulation) are not addressed, pigmentation issues like melasma are very likely to return. In my case, the clinical treatments from this facility offered zero benefit and instead caused a severe reaction. C. Key Recommendations from My Experience: a. Sun Protection: Practice absolute, consistent sun protection every day. b. Dietary Focus: - Avoid highly processed foods - Minimize high-sugar foods - Reduce high-salt intake - Eat plenty of green vegetables and a wide variety of colorful produce c. Maintain well-balanced daily nutrition d. Incorporate Vitamin C serum into your skincare routine e. Stress Management: Incorporate daily meditation and deep breathing exercises to support overall detoxification. This journey reinforced that sustainable skin health comes from gentle, consistent self home effort and internal wellness -- NOT from the treatments I received at this facility at all.

Finally! So if you…read morerecall in my last nail review, I got gel-x nails but wasn't happy. After doing some more research, I found this place. I made an appt, showed up, and away we went. Upon walking in, I couldn't help but notice the aesthetic. The salon is immaculate, the floors were shiny and clean, and it totally gives off the high-end vibe. After signing in, they confirmed what services I was getting and brought me back. The person doing my nails was Paige and she couldn't have been more pleasant. When we got started, she confirmed the design and then suggested I get the gel builder vs gel-x and gave her reasons why. During the process she was extremely attentive, making sure I was satisfied with each step before moving on. Everything was fine and then it came time for the design. She nailed it on the first time! There were no struggles, hesitations, or sighs. She did everything with ease and was able to mimic the design the best out of all the other salons I've been to. Once she was finished, Olivia brought me over and did my pedicure. She was amazing and also super friendly. The massage chair was heaven and easily one of the best I've had whilst getting a pedicure. Overall, I was beyond pleased for my first time at the salon. While the prices are a tad higher than what I'm accustomed to paying, it does ring true you get what you pay for. The level of care and attentiveness I received was so refreshing and really made me feel valued. I for sure will be back.

Granted this was my first time coming to this shop and I wasn't sure of the process. I typed my number into an IPad and told them I was there for my appointment with the nail tech listed above. I was seated at a service station and then I was moved to another part of the salon. I sat and a gold small clip board was sat next to me on the table top. Finally, a nail tech by the name of Sam asked was I getting dip polish and I said not that I had an appointment with Chloe at 1pm for an acrylic nail set. A young lady at the front asked me was I "Stephanie" in which I stated my name and told them I was there for Chloe. Another young lady said I told her my name was Stephanie. Not sure why she would say that when I'm aware of my name. A short time Chole appeared and we got started on the service. I showed her the shape I wanted my nails and she nailed it. She was professional, efficient, and fast. This review is no reflection of her services but not sure if I will be back given the miscommunication in the beginning and sort of being blamed for the mishap. Was $50 for this service and it was pretty pricey for the basic type of style.
