Came into town for a wedding and took a shot in the dark here. Turned out to be one of the best haircuts ive ever had. And Kathy is such a great individual, it was easily the most pleasurable experience ive ever had at a saloon. Ive been away from STL for almost 20 years now, but absolutely will come back to see her next time im in town. 10/10 experience.

She did a great job and was very respectful. FAR MORE than I can say about Great Clips salons. A little on the pricey side but worth it. Mind you, this is coming from a poor person.

The best hair stylist I have ever gone too! Kathy has a great personality & it so knowledgeable about cuts, hair colors & everything hair! She received her training in New York City with Vidal Sassoon & his wife! Precision cutting, styling & the works! Best in town! She's also a licensed Barber! She cuts my husband's hair too! He loves her too!

Kathy did an amazing job fixing my previous horrible hair cut. She was so nice too, and walked me through step by step what she was going to cut. My hair is curly, and it’s so difficult to find a good hairstylist that understands curly hair, but she blew it out of the park. I would highly recommend Kathy if you have curly hair and are nervous about getting it cut.
