Perm
Yupeng L.

WARNING: like another reviewer mentioned I suspect the pictures included here are copied from somewhere else, because Paul is unable to create those styles. I came here for a trim and perm this year. Right off the bat I noticed the curler ring size he was using was way too small. I pointed this out to him, but he just brushed it off. He did not look at the reference photos I showed, which should have set off alarm bells. Then, when the perm was heating, he took on two other clients and left me sitting in the heat for too long. When I got home, the real trouble began. My hair was dead. It looked fried to oblivion, which after some research was from the over heating. I went to a different salon and they were absolutely horrified by the outcome. Apparently, Paul had curled half of my hair in the WRONG DIRECTION, so half of the curls dug into my head instead of flowing outward. He also washed my hair immediately, which virtually all stylists will tell you not to do so soon after the chemical perm. The result was a seared, wrinkled head of hair that looked nothing like a perm. I had to spend hundreds of dollars on revitalizing hair products to get it back to somewhat normal hair, and the process took months. The other salon stylist told me this was an insane error that should never have happened. How do you accidentally reverse half of all the curls and not catch it? Take a look at his handiwork and ask yourself, does this look like the samples he posts on his page? Atrocious work, and definitely false advertising.

Paul is heaven sent. I first went to him after I tried to DIY cut my hair during covid (did not go well) and he fixed me up, and I've been going ever since. Although I usually go now for regular trims, when I first came in I wasn't sure what style I wanted and Paul gave me ideas /advice based on my hair texture, face shape/size, etc. He clearly knows his way around Asian hair and spent a good amount of time meticulously shaping and framing my layers (see pictures). He also offered suggestions (e.g. thinning out the hair in the back where it was dense and unflattering) for my haircut and I personally appreciated that. When I had questions about hair care and maintenance, Paul gave tips to style my hair using my hands or a comb / blow dryer which was helpful. He's also very friendly and easy to talk to and scheduling appointments were a breeze. The cherry on top is the prices are very reasonable for the quality of work he does. Paul is the only one I trust my hair with now, I highly recommend him!

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.

Jean is absolutely a talented hair stylist. My hair is very, very thin and fragile. I have to keep…read moreit long because I have a long face and neck therefore short hair doesn't go well with the look I like to achieve. I am a very bossy client and overly protective about my hair. 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

From the first time I met Jean it was like she could read my mind and gave me exactly what I wanted. Each time I go back I love my hair more and more! I used to have anxiety going to get my hair done, because I worried I'd spend a lot of money and still not get the results I was looking for. I've really come to trust Jean and actually look forward to my appointments now. She also is such a fun and hilarious person so our appointments are always a great time! Definitely check her out even if just for a simple haircut :)

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.

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.
