I have been getting my hair cut by Pattie at Shear Excitement for about 7 years now. As I sat down…read moreto write this review, I Googled Shear Excitement and found a review I wrote in December of 2006. In it I praised Pattie for great haircuts at a reasonable price. Almost 4 years later, I feel exactly the same way, except she has become more of a family friend who just happens to cut my hair. We always have great conversations. In the time I have been going there, I have held 3 jobs and finished 2 college degrees. She is always genuinely interested in what is going on in my life and I have always enjoyed hearing the stories of her family. When I arrive early, I always see the same types of interactions with her other clients. Her prices have remained almost unchanged since we started going to her ($15 for a guy's haircut with wash). Before we moved to Florissant in 2003, I was driving to a salon in West County and paying over $30 for a haircut that I wasn't as happy with. This was a case where paying more didn't mean better quality. I can't say enough good things about her and would recommend her to anyone.

I went to Loc Symmetry this past Sunday, October 31, 2021 for the first time, but it definitely…read morewon't be my last time! They performed a miracle on my SisterLocs. Since moving to Southern Illinois, I have had a few bad experiences previously that led to my grid being messed up and my locs combined in places where they shouldn't be. Honestly, I was so devastated that I was actually considering cutting my hair and starting over. Thank goodness for Cherrelle! Cherrelle was able to take her time and work her magic! She artfully corrected as many of the mistakes done by others as she could, explaining what she was doing (and apologizing if she thought she caused me pain--she didn't) throughout the process. I posted pictures of the end results below. Check out how clean my grid looks now. I actually have a middle part again and she removed nearly all of the knots and holes that would lead to breakage. Crystal is SisterLocks certified and also certified in Trichology, specializing in hair loss, and Cherrelle has years of experience as a Cosmetologist. The shop itself is beautifully decorated and clean, and the chairs they have for customers are the most comfortable I have ever sat in since I started going to a beauty shop. I mean true luxury for the booty! In addition to providing hair services, Loc Symmetry offers training at their Grid Academy, where student can "Learn to Earn" and become entrepreneurs themselves in the hair industry. Women helping others is always inspiring! Posh Cosmetics, LLC, another woman-owned business is also located at this address. As I was getting my hair done, I watched several women walk in the door pretty, and walk out the door GLAMMED after having their makeup done by Posh Cosmetics. When I tell you I am grateful to have found this shop, I ain't lying. It doesn't matter that Loc Symmetry is two hours away, it's worth the drive every six weeks. I can see why they have other customers willing to commute from further away. Co-owners Crystal and Cherrelle have great business sense, experienced and talented hands, wonderful customer service, and delightful personalities. I highly recommend this local, woman-owned, minority business. When you go by tell them Kindra sent ya!

Paid over $400 plus tip for services I didn't ask for and didn't get what I paid for…read more Kevin the owner was my stylist and an apprentice did my color. Long story short, I asked for a toner to fix the warmth on my blond job plus a trim, received PARTIAL HIGHLIGHTS in a chunky Avril Lavigne red and was charged approx $400 before tip. Kevin was visibly uncomfortable but didn't offer to fix anything. Didn't even realize how bad he was until I went to get it fixed at a better salon and was charged $190 for the toner I wanted and a more drastic cut that took twice as long (Kevin's color faded after a week and I decided to cut my loses). Don't waist your time or money.

Would not recommend this salon to anyone. I am here for work and I booked an advanced appointment…read moreand took a 25min uber to the shop only to be greeted with a new stylist who had no idea what to do with my hair. She then asked another stylist for help and her coworker didn't have an answer either. If you do not know the color issue of the client and you're not experienced maybe there should be a consultation etc first. After sitting in the chair and the two women calling their manager for help, they thought it would be a great idea to tell me they can't help me and to come back another day. Then on top of it one of the stylist had an attitude when I said that I needed this fixed today and for work and that I'm not willing to pay $50 for an uber again. So I called my uber and left. Again, would not recommend. Find another stylist who has better experience and better care and concern for their clients.

Deb, the owner, is deeply committed to healthy hair, not just great styling--and it shows in every visit. I've been a loyal customer for over 20 years, and Deb's years of experience really shine.

I get compliments very often on my hair when I am out and about. When my mom visited from the South, she insisted on coming here for service as well. That alone says everything. I honestly hope Deb runs this salon forever, because I can't imagine going anywhere else.
