I've been here twice before, and undoubtedly I have had the best hair experience of my life here…read more Having curly hair is hard, especially hard to trust stylists with, but Jacob at the Hair Lab worked his magic and I will return definitely. He listened to exactly what I wanted with cut and color, asked questions to make sure he and I both knew exactly what I was asking for, offered tips and recommendations, and taught me how to take best care of my hair. He truly knows what he is doing and he is extremely talented at bringing to life his art. I also really enjoy the atmosphere at the hair lab, as it's very moody and elegant and clean. The staff are extremely kind and helpful and it was pretty easy to make my appointment. The price is well worth the service as well. I look forward to trusting Jacob with my hair again soon - which is a huge deal for me having grown up in fear of trusting hair dressers with my curls.

If I could give negative stars, I would…read more I came into this salon with healthy hair and a simple request. Highlights. What I left with was a chemical war zone on my scalp and hair that looked like it had been through a haunted car wash. The stylist completely botched my color. It was patchy, uneven, and flat-out fried. I looked like a spaghetti squash that had been left out in the sun. Worse. I went back to give them a chance to fix it and it somehow got even worse. The stylist acted like they had never seen a toner in their life and honestly seemed like they were not in a sober state to be handling bleach or scissors or any other living creature for that matter. I ended up going to another salon just to undo the damage and they were horrified at what had been done to my hair. After spending over six hundred dollars and enduring two appointments from hell, my hair is still damaged beyond repair. Think straw with commitment issues. Do yourself a favor. If you value your hair, your time, or your dignity, run in the opposite direction. This place should come with a warning label and a fire extinguisher.

The five star reviews ARE TRUE!…read more First, the ambiance was so relaxing. Im talking essential oil diffuser, low chandelier lights, candles for sale, fun couches, with a maximalist-esque decor vibe, and even a little library! Second, I came in to get a bad color fixed from another salon and believe me when I say that she went above and beyond. I didn't expect much since it was in pretty bad shape coming in, but she blended it so well and did exactly what I wanted. Going back to the relaxing environment, at the shampoo bowl, I nodded off THREE times because I was so relaxed. THREE TIMES! That's never happened with uncomfortable shampoo bowls being at odd angles, but the bowl was what all shampoo bowls everywhere need to be! It's by appointment only so you'll want to book in advance if you want to get in. After I booked, I went to look for another time and she was already booked a month out. (Not surprising!!) Great conversationalist, wonderful treatment, took her time on me, and just.. what a lovely experience. I would say this place is definitely a Maplewood gem.

I've been waxed by the same company for 5+ years, and was still making the drive even after moving,…read moreso 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.

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.

If you have curly hair, Kyra is That Girl!…read more I have been wanting a curly shag forever and my past stylists have either been too afraid to do it or thought it would look mullet-y, so I thought I'd try a curly hair expert. Multiple reddit threads and FB groups later, I saw enough recs for Kyra that I was ready to give her a shot. The salon itself is so cute and eclectic--the coolest thrifted decor! And I was greeted with an offer for a drink and gladly took a hot coffee on a freezing day, which was a great way to get started. Then I met Kyra who was SUCH a good listener and she continued to educate me on what she thought would work for me, told me we could always get more funky at a future appointment so I wasn't too shocked, and walked me through all the steps of styling so I could recreate her magic at home. When I tell you that she gave me the cut of my dreams, I mean it! 70s vibes with defined curls and a routine that won't take me three hours. I genuinely can't wait to go back. GO TO KYRA!

The cut and color was perfect! Unfortunately, it's growing too fast! Will get in again!read more

I decided to try a new approach, figuring my hair hasn't worked in years, lets see what Jeans suggestions can do, 'what can I lose if it has looked awful for years', was my approach. So basically, I picked the perfect hair stylist to step out of my comfort zone in over 10 years, and my hair has never looked better!!! I am seriously in shock and so is my boyfriend and close friends. My hair has life, health and body all from a gloss color and hair cut. Who would have thought in a minimalist hair situation. Jean is that talented! Because I sat back and listened to Jean's recommendations, I now have hair I didn't think I could have back. I definitely won't be going anywhere else and am extremely lucky to find her within the fish bowl of stylist here in STL. Thank you Jean, Very pleased client

I had been seeing this natural hair salon on my Facebook ads for some time. Decided to give it a…read moretry in March for my anniversary. Was serviced by what I could tell was a new stylist as she was asking questions and the owner came by to observe/provide guidance. That was completely fine with me as I'm not a frequent salon user. Everything went well and I scheduled another appointment for about 6-8 weeks out. I appeared to my scheduled appointment and the stylist was not present. When I mentioned my appointment to the stylist checking me in she was unsure who she was then after looking in the system shared the stylist I was scheduled with was no longer at the salon. I wasn't offered to be seen by another stylist at that time and thankfully it wasn't an immediate need to have my hair done. Instead I was offered to schedule an appointment in the future and I did so. However, I'm not sure if I'll be keeping the appointment after all. I'm not the biggest fan of how uncommunicative the salon was regarding this stylist leaving and her existing scheduled appointments. If I did need my hair done immediately, I would have been in a tough situation.
