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!

I've been with her for over 15 years, so why not follow her. The reason I like Cate so much, is that she hand scissors my hair and only uses a clipper to trim up my neck line. So many stylist use clippers with attachments when doing a mans hair and I do not like that. To get a quality cut, my hair has to be cut with scissors. Why I said it was a primo location, it is located next to Louie and Sasha's, so you can have lunch or go to a relaxing Happy Hour. On the other side, you've got Kaldi's for a good cup of coffee.

Would not recommend this salon to anyone.

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.

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.
