Firstly I would like to say that we got both hair styling and make-up applications done at this location for this same day. The make-up artist did an amazing job and this review is not a reflection of her services whatsoever. Unfortunately, the hairstyling was so bad that it warrants this review.
We came in on 5/29/21 for hair styling for a bridal party. The Bride, thankfully, got a beautiful style that was obviously done by a skilled stylist. This review is also not a reflection of this stylist's services.
The stylist that did both of the bridesmaid's hair- mine and one other, left SO MUCH to be desired. Though both myself and the other bridesmaid had bad experiences, I will only be writing my own personal experience. She may wish to write her own review.
The stylist- I believe her name was Amanda? I'm not 100% sure about that though. Here is a bullet breakdown of my experience with her:
-She lacked professionalism. Her "booth" was DIRTY dirty. Disgusting honestly. The uncleanliness of the booth made me feel as if the entire business was unclean. I'm not sure if that's the case, but it certainly felt that way. Her appearance was as if she just rolled out of bed without showering (and she unfortunately smelled like that as well. I legitimately dreaded taking breaths while in her chair.) and didn't appear to have brushed or styled her hair. These things aren't the end of the world, the main thing is skill over appearance.
-She curled my hair with a straightener. For a special occasion style, I do not feel that is appropriate, but she didn't seem to even have a curling iron at her booth. These curls did not result in the loose, mermaif-y curls that I was hoping for or that was shown in my inspo pic. She also curled all of my hair in the same direction rather than away from the face and in opposite directions.
-She teased my hair to high heaven. It's not 2008 and the style I showed the inspo pic for did not have even the slightest "snooki" proofing. I'm not sure why we had to do that. This was probably part of what ruined my hair.
-Salon De Christe stated that she was experienced and "good" with the type of extensions that I have in my hair. Yet she kept calling them beaded row extensions, and though similar, they are not that. I genuinely believe that she RUINED my hair/extension installation/extension hair. I have had SO MANY issues with them since sitting in her chair at Salon De Christe- exponentially more problems than I have ever had in the time I have had and taken care of these extensions.
-We have before photos. My hair looked smooth & wavy when I entered the salon. When I left it was TOO curly, teased, and FRIZZY all over. I left looking worse than when we went in.
We went to Salon De Christe at my own recommendation. We had actually booked them for my wedding 2.5 years ago, but the major snowstorm made it where we couldn't use them. Salon De Christe has a reputation of excellence in St. Charles County, but we left disappointed and do not intend on using Salon De Christe for any future recommendations, routine styling, or events. I suggest you fully vet your stylist as well before going here. read more
