I've been waxed by the same company for 5+ years, and was still making the drive even after moving, so when my Waxer left the industry, I decided to find a place closer. This spot had great reviews and was literally around the corner so it was worth a try. A little more expensive than my current wax, but my time and energy was worth more than saving a couple dollars. This place is it. It's amazing. Such a cool, welcoming space. So clean. And Meg? She's amazing. Also, she's 100% worth the price because she's so thorough and careful. You really do get what you pay for, and after my appointment with her, the price is MORE than fair for what you get. She was so friendly, so welcoming, and made me feel so comfortable. As someone who has gotten waxed a long time, I can appreciate that, but I can only imagine what it would be like going to her for the first time, probably one of the best experiences! Highly, highly recommend. read more

If you're looking for a wax studio and having been driving yourself nuts looking for a clean, high end spot because you're super picky- look no further. This is your place! I have super sensitive skin and am very picky about where I get waxed because I've had some gnarly experiences. I cannot recommend J3 enough. Meg is a dream and she's always willing to work with me to accommodate my schedule when I forget to make an appointment and it's a last minute wax emergency. Some major pros: They use a spray to help with the pain up front They use a special lotion and will send you home with a packet of it that has special antibacterial properties to help with healing They sell some great products so it's a great little on stop shop They're super close to clementines so you can treat yourself to an ice cream for going through the wax. Still reading this? WhY are you waiting for?! Go make your appointment!!! read more

Ok, if I'm honest I didn't want to write a review because I didn't want to share Meg with ANYONE! But after careful thought and recently having had a bad waxing experience somewhere else in town--I figured the world of Yelp needed to know where to get a great wax. Meg is awesome. She is chill, down-to-earth, fun, and a fantastic waxer. She is very detail-oriented which I really appreciate. I am also a product lover and J3 has the best products. I just got this fir oil for your post-wax. I freaking love it. How could you not love this woman-owned business! 10, 10, 10, 10s across the board! read more

Meg is awesome!! She does a great job and is fun to talk to during my appointments. Always look forward to seeing her.

Let's talk about Meg, she was fantastic with my daughters first time facial who has acne scarring. She did wonders to my daughter beautiful melanin skin. Meg also recommended a product that we're going to try for the next several months and see if that takes away some of the scarring bring back her gorgeous skin tone. My daughter left feeling happy about the treatment and herself. My daughter wants to start treating herself to facials because of the great experience she had with Meg. So I highly recommend J3 For your next skin care needs. They care about their clients. read more

Do you remember the episode of Sex in the City where Carrie goes to LA and is "robbed" by the waxer? My first trip to Judith went a little like that. Of course she knew what was best for me and knew what I wanted, even if I wasn't able to communicate it. She has opened my eyes to a whole new world, a naked, hairless world and I have never looked back. The best part is how quick she is. I cannot say there is no pain, I mean I am getting my hair ripped out by the root, but compared to any other waxer I have ever been to, she is the closest to pain free you will ever get. I lied. Really the best part is how awesome Judith is. She is funny enough, that I almost forget I am getting my hair ripped out by the roots. I look forward to my appointments the same way I look forward to having lunch with a good friend. Plus let's face it my eyebrows and ummmm the rest of me, have never looked better. 5 stars are not nearly enough for J3 Studios. read more

J 3 Studio - Skin Care Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I've been going in to see Meg several times now for waxing and facial needs. From our very first interaction over the phone, and then meeting in person, I've not gone to any other place. The service and quality of work that Meg provides is fantastic and she is always so pleasant to be around. This studio is clean and able to offer me much needed "me" time, and it's my go to place. read more

Had a Brazilian with Judith, she made the experience comfortable and was very knowledgeable in how to care for your skin following your wax. She was able to minimize pain and distract me with her wonderful sense of humor. I recommend her to anyone in the area needing waxing or skin care. She books up fast so give yourself a large enough time window for your appointment. read more

Very knowledgeable about skin care and waxing. Great service & fair pricing. Eyebrow waxing was painless compared to other in the neighborhood. read more

12 Years Ago: Let's just say my first wax experience was with the infamous J Sisters on 57th Street in NYC where I laid bare in a harshly lit room resembling a doctor's office. Not the nicest of ways to go about a waxing initiation. A New York friend comes to visit, who in turns, endorses Judith. Wait, Saint Louis rocks brazilians? Yep and not only did she spend 35 minutes with her but the wax "didn't really even hurt." Yeah, right. 5 years later and I'm hooked on J3. The VIBE: Let's just say the waxing room is a chill, well-lit room with an equally chill set of beats playing in the background. In fact, Judith's introduced me to many bands in my rotation. Yep, the mood is already set and I'm ready to roll. The GIRL: Not only does Judith make you feel at home, she makes you laugh and you find yourself talking about life's mysteries over the matter at hand which is being, mostly painlessly, stripped away from you. Freedom comes at a small price these days. The SERVICES: Besides wax on waxing (Karate Kid reference); Judith does an excellent micro dermabrasion and a flawless brow shape (you don't come out with pencil thin brows here). Integrity my friends. It's all about keeping it REAL. Yep, that is Judith, this girl is an uber-talent for Saint Louis. She loves animals, stocks a great range of products, knocks out a clean and chill environment, great music, good conversation and the key: cool clients (not the pushy broads you might find in Clayton). You don't even want this secret out because one should maintain their six week appointment. Oh well, Judith deserves props. Be there or be square. And if you are square; well, that is your problem. More time for me and Judith. Best salon in the Lou; hands down. read more

@Melanie A., first of all, i do not appreciate being called a liar, everybody is entitled to their opinion and all experiences are different. Yelp allows people to freely state their experiences and we should be able to do so without childish name calling. It was my first time there and at that point I was not trying to make a friend but seeing what the service was like. Happy to open up an appointment for those who want to converse with somebody who isn't respectful of your opinions. Everybody had different experiences and glad yours has been positive, but mine was not. I am not worried about finding somebody else, as I am looking for a positive experience, service and conversation, which I didn't have at J3. Most people I go to for personal services have become friends so I understand building relationships with those who provide you with excellent experiences. read more

I LOVE Judith. Love. love. love. That will be all. Kidding. But seriously, Judith really is the best in more ways than one. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she's probably one of the coolest people I know. Although I was super excited to finally move away from St. Louis, I was super bummed to leave her. I really wish she would get her international credentials and be THE international esthetician, and fly to the UK :-) read more

Judith is simply the best at what she does! I needed to prepare for an upcoming vacay and had to find someone on the fly for a bikini wax. What a great experience I had! Judith is personable and makes what is normally an excruciating procedure a virtual walk in the park. She's my new go-to for waxing services! read more

After browsing too many reviews, noticed J3 was nearby where I was staying while in Saint Louis for business. Also had awesome reviews. Emailed the salon on 3/17 shortly after they closed... quick response from Judith after hours confirming my request to accommodate multiple wax services for the next day! Awesome!! Extremely impressed with the friendly front desk staff, and at Judith's professionalism and welcoming spirit. She was extremely accommodating, talked me through the whole process and made me feel at ease during my services! I walked out of there feeling like I just got to hang out with one of my long time best friends! She did a phenomenal job, and even sent me on my way with a few additional after wax care goodies, and even recommended a local hot spot for dinner! (Sauce on the Side was delicious!!) I wish I lived in Saint Louis, and could make my regular appointments with her - Great price, great service, great person. Totally worth the wait, even if she's booked out a few weeks - you won't regret her ripping your hair out of there!!! read more

My husband has been going to J3 Studio since Emily (hair stylist) started working there. She does great work and is really personable. In fact, he got it cut and highlighted today, and it looks fantastic. From what I've heard, Judith, the owner, is the best waxer in St. Louis...I'll have to schedule an appointment soon! read more

Found my new waxer in town! I've been getting waxing for years and it's always so tough to find a new person after you've been going to the same one for years - Judith was absolutely super down to earth and chill. Her space is super quaint and inviting in the Lafayette Sq area of the city. I love supporting local, especially woman owned business. She's that sweet soul that loves her city and I could just talk to her for hours. read more

IMPRESSIVE! Judith got me on a last minute notice due to a cancelation and I am so thankful! She is easy to talk to, making the situation less uncomfortable and even helped out with an inside joke! Another successful trip to STL I believe for sure. Any waxing needs go and make an appointment. Sensitive skin for sure was not an issue! read more

Kellee is an amazing stylist. I have been getting my hair cut by Kellee for about a year. Before moving to STL, my DC friends had told me if was coming to Saint Louis I had to track her down. It's true -- She is the best! Kellee's incredibly skilled, laid back, a great listener, and will talk to you about what you want in detail and always has great ideas. (She might even offer you a brew along the way!). She does gorgeous color. Seeing the cuts kellee's done for friends and family (my husband and little brother have both gone to Kellee), her range is pretty impressive -- from sexy short pixie cuts, to suit-n-tie wearing men's cuts, to hip artsy grandmas, cherubic toddler curls, mod bangs, and beachy "lobs" -- Kellee does it all. Even went to her last minute before a black tie event and got a killer updo! On top of all that she's hip as hell and one of the easiest people to talk to. I can't recommend Kellee enough. She's probably my favorite stylist I've ever had. read more

I'm newish to St. Louis and had been to one other place for my waxing with very little satisfaction. So when I found Judith on Yelp and saw all her reviews I had to try one more time. Honestly you will not regret it. Besides doing an amazing job at waxing ones sensitive parts, she is so easy to talk to and a very warm person. The other staff is also very friendly and the ambience is very relaxed, making the experience all the more better! I have no regrets and will definitely be back!!! read more

An underground speakeasy of fashion greatness -- so FUN!! and yet-- am I in an underground speakeasy here? Upon walking in, I was greeted with a pair of empty couches, stone walls, and the sound of a hair dryer in the room next door. Okaaaay.... I will have a seat. Upon paging through the glossy designs of a recent fashion magazine, I arrived on my appointment time with Emily. The artist who was soon to craft my new (SHORT) hairstyle. Now let it be known that I am not a fearful client. I do not feel that my hair creates my persona. BUT... Stylists always tell you to look at old photos of yourself and decide which one "made you look HOT" OK. So I made an executive decision (and was sick and tired of spending money to dye my hair in intricate ways each month) to cut my hair OFF in a delicious pixie style. Things at J3 went very well. My hair was transformed from a frumpy, shoulder-length crop into a face-illuminating short.....ummm...PIXIE!!! If you're going to go short, you might as well go all the way. After chopping all of my hair off, I realized that my eyebrows needed some tender care. Luckily one of the most famous (other than your head) hairstylists in St. Louis works within this same salon. She quickly brought me into her own rocky and underground speakeasy and POOFED my eyebrow shreds into brushstrokes worthy of a Chinese painting. Now that I'm sitting at home photographing my new hairstyle with my cell phone, the style is pretty fab. A pretty fab speak easy of (all parts) hairstyling precision. read more

Judith was absolutely amazing. I will recommend her to everyone I know. She worked very quickly and kept the conversation going so I kept my mind off of the task. This chick knows her stuff and boy was she fast. I will never go anywhere else for my waxings. read more

Judith is amazing. A true goddess. She is somehow very professional and casual at the same time. I'm new to STL and this was only my second wax ever. I didn't know what to expect, but it had to better than my first time (see previous review). The place is super clean, all the girls there were really nice. She worked quickly (thank god), missed nothing and gave me lots of welcome advice. And it didn't hurt near as bad as I thought it would! This place was pretty hard to locate, but I also liked that. I almost hate to leave a review like this because it was a little difficult to get and make regular appointments already due to her popularity but considering I should have turned to Yelp before my first experience, I want everyone else to know that she is the absolute best. I hope I never have to go anywhere else. read more

I have been a J3 regular since it opened and a Judith groupie for over 5 years. At J3, you are treated as part of an elite clientele, or family. I find it hard to believe, and frankly think the person is lying, that Judith insulted them on their first visit. Anyone who has met Judith knows she respects and is open to all different opinions about anything and everything. On more than one occasion, I have been so engaged in conversation that I didn't even flinch when Judith was taking care of things south of the border (if you know what I mean). If you are looking for somewhere you are treated like a "customer" and want to talk at someone rather than engage in conversation, J3 is not for you. Thanks @Roma N. for opening up some space for the rest of us and good luck finding anyone else like Judith....it won't happen. read more

I get my hair cut from Emily here. She is excellent and really friendly. She takes the time since it is just you and her in the salon. She listens and gives you a great style every time. Plus, she doesn't try to sell you products like larger places. I also got my hair highlighted from her too (my first time) and it was a success. She really knows how to do hair, the right way. Definitely a keeper...before her, I had trouble finding a good place to get my hair cut in St. Louis. read more

I've been going to Judith for a few years now, and won't go anywhere else. Judith provides -- hands down -- the best waxing experience I've ever had. She truly is the best. She makes you feel completely comfortable in what is typically an uncomfortable situation, and you find yourself actually looking forward to waxing appointments. I don't know how she does it, but she manages to be completely professional and like one of your best girlfriends all at the same time. Five stars, all the way. read more

My previous waxer, who I was naively happy with, left town. I tried Judith based on Yelp reviews and it was a bonus that she is just a few neighborhoods away from me. I had always just had the attitude that waxing is one of the painful, vulnerable sacrifices women must make in life, but alas, I was wrong. A wax by Judith is practically pleasurable. How can that be? I'm not sure if it's the numbing spray, the distracting conversation, the calming energy in the room, her great after-care tips, the awesome results, or simply her technique. Whatever it is, it works and it's amazing. read more

I wish I could give more stars! Judith is an absolute professional, making (what could be a painful experience) an enjoyable wax appointment. She goes above and beyond to make each session a comfortable one. The studio is clean and inviting. She talks while she works, distracting you from what's really going on. She uses the best products and well.. I just can't say enough good things about her services! She has completely transformed my eyebrows and made bikini and Brazilian waxes something I'm not completely terrified of! Love this place! read more

Got my hair cut by Helen and it was fabulous. Probably the best hair cut I've had in years, so glad I found j3!

I came to Missouri to be a bridesmaid for a wedding . My packed schedule require I get my hair cut in St. Louis, despite being from Houston. I checked out reviews for a few places and J3 Studio had availability with Tara. I was nervous since it was a total stranger cutting my hair for a big event, and I wanted a new style to boot. Unfortunately, she did a really fantastic job. My new shorter cut held its shape great for 6 weeks (which never happens!). I even considered flying back to St. Louis for some reason to use her again. Now, she has set a very high bar, and I am left searching for someone locally who can meet it. My old stylist just won't cut it anymore (haha). The atmosphere of J3 was good. Parking seemed easy enough, and the studio was clean, small, and didn't feel pretentious. Tara was easy to talk to a fantastic job! read more

I Don't go anywhere else! Emily Rocks my hair everytime!!! This place is my secret location for my hair! I love how private it feels from the rest of the world! very Cozy!!! ALWAYS J3 Studio! read more

I have been to Judith for a wax a few times. She was my first wax and she did the whole shebang. I've waxed my own legs for years and am very aware of the pain that comes along with waxing. I've also become somewhat desensitized over the years which helped in my decision to go ahead with the wax of all wax. For being in the most vulnerable state as a female, laying down with your legs spread apart and eventually up in the air for a minute, I felt very comfortable there. The setting is relaxing as well as Judith's professional/nonchalant demeanor. She keeps you distracted as she essentials rips the most course hair on your body ha. Waxing is waxing and it's gonna hurt a little. If you want the best experience, you need to make an appointment with Judith. The wait to get in is long for a reason. I would not go to anyone else. read more

My eyebrows need some taming, and I'm holding out until I'm in St Louis in a few weeks so Judith, a master at her craft, can address them. Best brow work ever. I hated everything about St Louis, except for Judith. read more

I just received a PHENOMENAL hair cut and color from my fave, Emily! I couldn't describe what I wanted very well and some how she was able to translate my wants into picturesque hair! I am absolutely in love with it so THANK YOU Emily!!! read more

I trust j3 for my waxing and hair needs. What a glorious, professional , and pleasant place. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Judith is great; So great that she is booked up in advance. So schedule early--You will be happy you did. She is fun and takes your mind off the fact that your hair is being ripped out. She has great attention to detail and does a mean facial too. I look forward to going back read more

I've been here about 4 times to see Judith. Every time I go I am amazed at how great she is- personality wise and professionally. I've only seen her for waxings, but I know she does other skin and face treatments. And I believe she's expanded her crew and now does hair. I moved to St. Louis about 6 months ago from a city that was much more salon and spa oriented, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find anyone who could meet my needs, but Judith is by far and away the BEST waxer I've ever had! I highly, highly recommend her. If you need a wax don't waste your time or money with anyone else. Her prices reflect the quality of service you get. I'm a grad student, so anything is expensive to me, but I rarely feel guilty about dropping $40 - $50 on such a good waxing. read more

Hands down the BEST when it comes to waxing services! I received a recommendation to visit Judith from a co-worker. When I finally got up enough courage to say goodbye to my old spa ( who, by the way, was charging "first time service" prices for repeat services) and said hello to Judith, it was the Best move I ever made! Judith made my waxing experience quick and painless!! She has the best personality and is so down to earth and can talk to you about anything! Her prices are very reasonable! The studio is lovely and inviting along with her staff who are wonderful and friendly!! Unfortunately I moved away from the STL area about 8 months ago and still have not found anyone who waxes like Judith :-( I wish I could have brought her with me to California! read more

I recently started going to J3 Studio for my bikini wax as I've been to many different aestiticians over the years and havent been too thrilled as of lately. I find that Judith's personality puts you immediately at ease as she is very laid back and treats you like she's known you for years. She has fun music playing and the room is very spacious compared to your typical spa treatment room. You also don't wear those silly paper panties. She simply has you place a small towel over yourself. She also uses numbing spray which is amazing! I was finally brave enough to get the brazilian with her and I love it. I would and have recommended her to friends! read more

I've been going to Judith and Emily at j3 for more than four years now. I feel so lucky to have found such a great team! The j3 team is a perfect mix of excellent talent, great service and professionalism with a comfortable, pleasant atmosphere. I've never felt so well cared for and looked so great. In short, they are masters at what they do. I love Judith and Emily!!! I don't know what I'd do without them. read more

Lovely salon, I went for bikini wax. The owner was very nice and put me at ease quickly. I highly recommend
