We were greeted on a Saturday morning with a smile and a warm welcome (and congratulations to the bride). They had mimosas and bagels set out for us, which made the experience even better (AMAZING)! They accommodated the bridal party in a timely manner. They were very organized and made our party feel very special (not just like another wedding party). My hair is very thick and can take a lot of work for an up do. I was very pleased with my hair. It looked amazing and it even held for the 16 hour day (and probably would have never fallen if I never took the pins out to wash it)! If I was not having a destination wedding, I would definitely have my hair done at Studio 1 Hair Design! We did not just feel like clients, we felt like we were invited into their home. They were able to get all of us finished in a timely manner, so we were able to stay on schedule, and most importantly, our hair looked fabulous and held for the long day ahead (it even survived a rain storm)! The bride had her makeup done and I wish I would have done the same....she looked absolutely stunning! As a side note, my sister gets her hair cut at Studio 1 Hair Design and always loves it (I live too far away), so if you are in the St. Charles/O'Fallon area, you definitely need to check out Studio 1 Hair Design!

Carson absolutely wrecked my hair. Asked for curtain bangs and left looking like a kindergartener…read moretook scissors to my hair. Owner tried to help half way through to fix it. It was a lost cause. Literally left in tears. Still asked to pay full price and they showed me a screen asking for a tip with the minimum option of 20%. Ridiculous and never coming back. If I come to your salon to get a professional cut and you have to stop halfway through and ask your boss to help you figure out how to cut it because you're not doing it right, maybe you need to rethink if you're qualified to cut hair as a professional. Never left a review in my life. Dowloaded yelp just to write this. Do not go here! Find people actually qualified.

I returned to have it corrected, but the solution was to add low lights, which made little to no visible difference in correcting the brassiness. Instead, my hair felt noticeably drier and more damaged afterward. For the price point, I expected a high-level color service and professional corrective approach. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I would not recommend this stylist for advanced color work or precision cuts.

She wanted the bottom half of her hair red and instead got a very thin layer of red that was applied more like a highlight using foil. Not what she wanted at all!

Sherry was DELIGHTFUL! We scheduled another haircut with her for both our girls…read more We were concerned about cutting our youngest hair so short BUT Sherry really expressed how important and was and made us feel so comfortable. Sherry told us we need to keep getting her haircut every 6 weeks because of the blonde and how damaged her hair gets with sun and chlorine. Sherry also said she should sleep with a silk pillowcase to help prevent her hair grabbing and tangling at night. Then to braid her hair at night. Not to use any other hair ties but scrunchies. Buy moisturizer for her hair and put it in every day in middle and ends doesn't need to be at the top because her hair dries out a lot. Sherry said the cut is much better and will help her hair grow healthier, it won't break as quick if we do all the above. Finally Sherry said to also said before she goes in the pool to spray it down with water to prevent chlorine damage because her hair is so blonde. Sherry was so so informative and patient with both girls. We will forever be returning to Sherry! Thanks so much!

My first session with XOXO Alice was in 2018; it was purchased as a wedding gift for my husband. I…read morehad lost 100 pounds over the course of our relationship and was super nervous to have boudoir photos done because of how embarrassed I was by the loose skin that I had all over my body. I imagined options for outfits and poses would be very limited, and I would spend the whole time nervous as heck and hating myself. The super detailed instructions to prepare for the session were the first thing to set my mind at ease. I was glad to know I only had to personally bring SOME of the outfits I wanted to wear but that there was a full wardrobe of varying sizes waiting for me. I was greeted on the morning of the shoot by one of her kitty cats, which immediately made me feel more at ease. The conversation held between myself, Alecia, and the make-up artist that morning to determine the kind of photos we wanted to shoot was eye-opening and very information, though I felt like a shy newbie not having the answer on-hand when I showed up. Alecia used creative methods to get me the best shots possible and made me feel more at ease throughout the course of the day by cracking jokes to make me laugh and just have general conversation about shared interests (specifically pet birds). By the end of the day, I had come to love how my body was portrayed in a way I never knew was possible. The directions she gave throughout the shoot were kind and specific so that she got the exact bodily post and expression that she needed. My husband could not have been happier with the photos, and I will always cherish the self-esteem boost I left with. The second shoot I had was vastly different than my first. It took place in early 2022 while I was still scared witless about catching COVID-19. She had a process in place requiring each client to take a rapid test in their car prior to the session to confirm a negative result. This made me feel much safer considering she was the first person  outside my family and close friends that I would spend a day around maskless since the pandemic began.  Some relevant background information includes something that developed over the course of time since the initial photoshoot: this included the onset of chronic (nearly constant) pain in my neck, shoulders, and upper and lower back that is greatly flared by too much motion of my joints that were weakened by illness and major surgery recovery. I was nervous as all get-out to reach out to Alecia to see if I could request a session (via one of her model-calls on her Facebook page) thinking that I would be too hard to work with due to my physical limitations. Remembering how much I had to move or bend during the first session, I thought it would be impossible to have a similar experience again. My weak and painful body had driven me to hatred and depression because my body had all but given up on me. I had also put on a teensy bit of weight due to my inability to exercise. Alecia assured me that she could work with me to show me that my body wasn't to be hated and was confident that she could use feedback given by myself during the session to ensure she didn't cause an excess of pain. She ended up discussing my changing life situation while makeup and hair were being handled. Not only did she make me feel like a "normal" person regardless of my illnesses and pain, she made sure I knew that she saw me as no less of a woman or model. She did a lot of moving and shifting to accommodate my decreased abilities of motion and took my inability to stand for long periods of count all into ability when choosing the outfits and poses. We even made a sort of silly game out of taking water breaks since I am required to drink far more water than most people; she was sure to take a water break whenever I did and made sure I ate when I needed to. I was so shocked by the resulting images and felt like she helped me along the first step of accepting my new disability by taking myself for how I am and not just hating my own existence. I know this may seem like a little much to come out of a boudoir photography session, but she has a magical way of seeing everyone she photographs the way they need to be and deserve to be seen. I am already saving up for my next photo shoot! The first one was for my significant other, but all additional ones are purely for me!
