I came here in May to get a red color. Ally, the stylist, bleached my hair (instead of doing a…read morecolor remover because said she didn't have enough packets left) in order to get the red color I wanted. From the bleach treatment, my hair is extremely damaged and the red color faded after 3 washes in cold water/with color safe shampoo/conditioner. I contacted salon, and they redid the red color, and again the same fading happened. They also didn't use a toner at all during this process. I've gotten my hair done by a different stylist at a different salon to fix it, but the bleach treatment that was done at Homegrown was so damaging that no red color is sticking to my hair at all anymore. I've had my hair colored red before and never had any problems with the color sticking--but it was never bleached before that red. I paid $385 for the first color appt at Homegrown and tipped $80. Since then, I have tried and tried to contact Homegrown to get a refund as I've had to pay even more to try and fix it with a new stylist. Homegrown ghosted me after multiple people at their salon gaslighted me saying it was "my hair and hair changes" and that they were "writing down my message and would have management contact me". It's been weeks and I haven't heard anything back. Do not trust these people with your hair. Mine is now very damaged and there's nothing I can do to keep the red color I initially asked for.

I'll start off this review by saying that I am VERY picky when it comes to selecting who I choose…read moreto cut and style my hair. My hair is so a part of my identity. It's my signature, and as shallow as this may sound, it is my best feature. So when it comes to trusting someone with my most prized element of my style, I can be a tad anxious in the selection process. If you live or work in Downtown St. Louis, Classics is the place to go! They have offer a number of stylists who have a range of specialties for both men and women. The first time I went to Classics when my regular barber was out of town (more on him in a bit), I was randomly assigned Courtney and she was really awesome. She was a very good barber and I would totally recommend her. Pro Tip for when you drive to Classics: Park on the street just south of Washington Avenue, which is St. Charles Street. There's always ample parking back there, and you can usually beat the meter maids. They don't patrol that area as much as Washington. Classics has a pretty chic vibe inside. I love how they converted the large support poles into barber poles. What a creative use of existing structures. I've never had to wait for my appointment, but there is a very comfy looking waiting area with a leather couch. The chairs for barbers and stylists are spaced well so that you don't feel like you're sitting on top of the person next to you while you're getting your haircut. The space feels clean and well kept. As for COVID regulations, they take your temperature when you enter. Both you and your stylist are also required to have a mask on during your appointment. So now on to talking about my barber. I will say I am hesitant to write this review because I don't want everyone in St. Louis to rush to Classics to get a haircut from him. Then I won't be able to make an appointment when I need one!! Andy used to work in a shop on Cherokee Street. I went to him religiously. He is SO skilled. What I really love about Andy is the way he knows about and cares for your hair. You may ask him to cut or style your hair a certain way, and he explains to you why it might not be a good idea. He really understands hair and has earned my trust over the three years I've been going to him for my haircuts. Andy offers a variety of skills when it comes to hair. He can give you a really good fade. In the past he has done an incredible design in my hair. I have referred three or four coworkers to him, all of whom have different hair types and styles. They all love Andy as much as I do. I personally like to have my hairline outlined with a straight razor, a look I picked up when living in New Jersey. Andy's lineup is fire. He is super accurate and his lines are always super straight. When you sit in Andy's chair, it is very relaxing for a number of reasons. I've already touched on how much trust I have in his expertise. But Andy is also a great conversationalist! I love sitting down and chatting with him. Conversation has always felt so natural and free flowing. You really get the feeling like you're one of his close, personal friends as opposed to just a head of hair he has to cut before moving onto the next customer. Today, in addition to my haircut I decided to indulge in some self care by treating myself to a facial with a black cleansing mask. Oh my literal Gee. I have never been so relaxed. He starts off by reclining the chair and slathering your face with oils while a steamer gently blows a eucalyptus scented air onto your face. Next he wrapped a warm towel on my face and gently massaged it over me. Wow it was so amazing. After a few rounds of this routine, he painted the black cleansing mask on my face. I then sat and let it do its pore cleansing work! After about 15 minutes of chilling the mask was peeled off and my face felt so incredibly clean and clear. Andy's prices are so reasonable. I have never felt stressed about being able to afford two haircuts a month. For the quality of my haircuts, I think that he charges a very competitive amount. It's also nice that he accepts mobile payment so you don't have to carry cash or risk passing COVID around by using your card. Wish I could give Andy TEN stars for the quality of his work!

I booked and paid $90 specifically for a curly haircut after explaining that I wanted more curl definition, styling guidance, and a cut tailored to my natural curls. Instead, the service felt more like a standard haircut than a specialized curly service, and I left unhappy with both the styling and overall result. Anna was very sweet and did try to correct the styling when she realized I was unhappy, which I appreciated, but ultimately the experience did not feel like the specialized curly service I had booked and paid for. UPDATE: The owner reached out after my experience and offered me a complimentary appointment with another curly hair specialist. I decided to give the salon another chance, and I'm very glad I did. My second experience was completely different. I was extremely happy with my hair and, just as importantly, I left feeling educated about my curls and confident that I could recreate the results at home. My stylist took the time to explain the techniques and products that worked best for my hair, which was exactly what I had hoped for from the beginning. I really appreciate the owner listening to my concerns and making an effort to make things right. While my first experience was disappointing, I'm very happy with how the salon handled the situation and with the service I received the second time around. I would definitely return for another curly hair service.

Based on reviews from a number of area shops a safe bet for a new shop (after 10 yrs or so) was the SOHA barber shop. I made an appointment on the phone not knowing that at least three stylists worked there. I got Anna and I didn't know what to expect so I showed up early and she wrapped up a bit earlier than expected so she started early. I told her I just wanted something that looked age & cut appropriate for the upper 60's white male that I am. It should project a business man's style and that wouldn't embarrass my kids. Anna did a great job, since I had been looking for a couple weeks and the appointment was a week later my current hair was wild to say the least. She was patient with me, and made sure I understood a lot was coming off. It came together very well, especially with a 1st time for me stylist.

This has opened up flexibility for scheduling and has been drastically easier to set appointments. The quality and service have always remained the same, and I am 100% loyal to SOHA Barbershop.
