Wraggs to Riches is a full service hair salon, however my experience and this review is for their…read morebraider, Lexx. I do a lot of traveling in my new job position, so I need a hair style that is easy to maintain; braids seemed to be a no-brainer. I no longer live in STL, so I am out of touch with who does the best braids, but an Instagram search led me to "hair_by_lexx" (her ig handle). I loved the pictures that she posted on her ig page showing the different styles of box braids that she offers. I checked her website, which was very informative and answered almost all of my questions. The site lists the different sizes & lengths of the braids, along with photos, prices, the number of bags of hair needed for each style, and the brands of braiding hair with which she works. I loved having all of that information at my fingertips without having to guess, or call and bother her. Website: https://www.hairbylexxstl.com/ You can also view her appointment calendar to see what openings are available for the style of your choice, after which you can then schedule your appointment online. It's so convenient and professional! There is a $25 non-refundable deposit required in order to confirm your appointment. This $25 goes toward your service (e.g. I booked a $180 service, but since I put down a $25 deposit, I only owed $155). You can either go to the salon to pay your $25 deposit, or send Lexx a text requesting that she send a deposit request. Using the later, you'll receive a cash request from Square's Cash App. Enter a debit card (I think you can use a credit card too) and voila! Your deposit is paid! I booked online and received a confirmation email seconds later. 25 hours before my scheduled appointment, I received another email reminder. I was very impressed. On the day of my appointment, Lexx arrived on time and ready to go. She worked diligently from 9am until just shy of 4pm, with little to no breaks. She was courteous, professional, and focused. I got small box braids (aka Monica braids), which typically takes 8 hours, but thanks to her dedication to the task at hand, she finished an hour early! I love my braids! Lexx did an amazing job of mixing the colors (I bought bags of color 30 and bags of a 1B/30 blend). They are beautiful and light; not heavy like the braids I had before. Lexx offers a variety of services (see her ig page and/or website), all at affordable prices. Be advised that she accepts cash only! The salon is located off of New Halls Ferry and Pershall, in the strip mall with Home Depot.

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 cycle through the process of growing my hair out and chopping it off to donate, and it had…read morereached that time for a haircut right when I moved to St. Louis. Even before moving, I had done pretty extensive research for a trustworthy hair stylist in anticipation and Studio 89 was one of the top picks; even after monitoring my options over the span of a month, it remained the best. I tried to make an appointment online but had some technical issue so I called instead. This was all done the morning of, and yet they were able to have me come in later that afternoon. It's a clean, small space but it's got everything you can imagine. There's plenty of parking in front of the salon. Tiffany was my stylist, and I was warned that she was going to charge more than the other stylists due to her experience (note -- all stylists charge differently based on this). As a Californian who has paid way too much for the simplest of cuts, I can genuinely say Tiffany's surcharge was 1000% worth it. She was so kind and personable, and that really made the experience. She gave me her honest thoughts and was very communicative throughout the process. She really gave me the exact hairstyle I asked for after barely flashing her a photo, and I'm so endlessly impressed! Despite constantly cycling through short hair, I've actually never liked myself in it very much. However, Tiffany's work allowed me to feel more confident in rocking a short cut than I've ever felt! I've received tons of genuine compliments on her work, and I feel so lucky to have met her. Tiffany -- thanks for the sushi recs and candid conversation, and for being my first friend in St. Louis!

I have had a few different stylists as well Nicole, Sabrina and Tiffany and they are all pretty attentive stylist. They double checked with me multiple times throughout the service whether it was cut or color. The salon is neat and tidy.

The salon is based on appointments only so would highly recommend making an appointment prior to visiting.
