When my husband was transferred to the St. Louis area, I was at a loss as to where to look for a salon and good stylist. I found Colette Edwards through a business card (for her former salon, Studio 524) in my "goodie bag" at a Women's Retreat. I decided to take a chance and try it out--and I'm so glad I did! We connected from the first time I met her. Colette is not only extremely knowledgeable, she is charming, gracious and accommodating. Best of all, Colette is the first stylist I've ever had (and I've had many!) that really seems to "get" my hair. Every time I leave the salon, I get compliments on my hair for days--even if I just had a trim or a touch-up! When my husband retires in a few years, we'll probably move back to our home town. Fortunately, it's within driving distance, because I'm coming back to St. Charles once a month to have Colette do my hair. read more

Just moved to town? Looking for a new stylist? Schedule an appointment with Christine Reed at Ciao Bella Salon. Christine is not only a true professional stylist, she knows about the best hair color products. Christine knows all about hair products...which products work with what hair. Christine has the gift of listening and giving you what you ask for, not what she thinks you want. How many of you had bad hair cuts because the stylist refuses to listen to what you know about your hair; bangs too short, they cut the hair around the cowlick too short? My curly hair loves Christine and so will yours!!! read more

I have found a salon that works for me! With my busy work and home schedule, I look forward to going to Ciao Bella to relax. Steve and Collette Edwards own the salon and they go out of their way to make you feel like you are the most important client they have. Steve has been cutting, coloring and styling my hair for almost a year and I couldn't be happier with the results. He spends time and energy to insure that my visit is A+. Steve is affordable as I have a standing appointment every 4 weeks. I would recommend and will continue to recommend Ciao Bella Salon to anyone! read more

I had an INCREDIBLE experience here! I've had very very long hair (down to my waist) for a while now, and didn't think I'd be able to part with it. Steve was incredibly helpful and gave me a much shorter style that I'm absolutely in love with! Along with taking his time and doing an excellent job with my hair, he gave me tips on how to take care of my hair when using heat or color, had a great personality, and provided excellent customer service. The atmosphere is great, and I definitely expect to be coming here in the future. read more

I have been going to Steve for over 5 years now. I have extremely naturally curly hair and Steve does an amazing job with my hair. He is an excellent color specialist too. I have a 3 year old daughter that loves to get her hair cut by Steve too. Collette and Todd have always been very friendly to me and my daughter even though I am Steve's client. The atmosphere of the new Salon is very comforting and relaxing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great color and/or style. read more

I have been going to Christina for a year. I moved to St. Charles 4 yrs. ago and tried 17 hairdressers and salons. When I found Christina I FINALLY hit the jackpot.

She is wonderful, accommodating, and has the best personality.My hair style is always the state of the art. She always tries to get you in at the times you need. She is wonderful. read more

I've been getting my hair cut, died, styled - you name it - by Christina for many years. I live in Los Angeles but hardly every let anyone else touch my hair until I fly back home and have Christina do it. I don't trust anyone else.

My wife and I have been going to Steve at Ciao Bella (and formerly at Studio 524) for several years. We love the haircuts we get - they're easily the best cuts (and color) we've ever gotten! Our favorite part, though, is just talking to Steve; he's a lot of fun and quite a character. Definitely worth a visit! read more

First time I visited Audrea and NO regrets! Cut and highlights, and I'm always nervous going to a new person especially after having 1 person taking of me for so long (then move away). Audrea listened, asked questions, explained her game plan, and went to work....with amazing results! Thank you, thank you! read more
