Salon De Crist

I travel with my husband for his work and finding a good salon in places I’ve never been before is always a shot in the dark… and a disappointment more times than not… I end up with a lot of bad hair! Not the case here! I picked this salon based on reviews online and booked an appt. online, as well. This salon has a really good feel about it! Everyone was professional and seemed genuinely friendly… nothing snooty or uncomfortable. AND all of the stylists had good hair that they had taken time to style… I think if you’re job is doing other people’s hair, you should be able to do your own hair and take the time to do it before coming to work! My stylist was Alyssa. She did a great job with my hair… cut and color. I had a few pics on my phone to help show her the direction I wanted to go and she got it. I believe there are people who took the courses necessary to get a license to cut hair and understand the technicalities (sometimes :P), but have no spark… and then there are people who are creative and have a true talent with hair. Alyssa is one of the talented ones and it’s evident she really cares about improving your appearance and has the tools and ability to do it. I’m so thankful I found her! I just wish I could pack her up and take her with me when it’s time to move on to the next job!

I’ve been coming to this salon for years. My stylist Rosie is the bomb and always gives me exactly what I want. My cut and color is cutting edge but not too over the top. It’s always a real treat to get my hair done at Salon de Crist and I’m very excited to try other services that are offered in the salon.

I had my hair styled and make-​up done by Febe. I didn’t recognize myself after the process, because she did such a great job! She is a wonderful person who loves what she does. I appreciated her energy and enthusiasm and can’t wait to go back to get my hair done again!

Personally I love the «one stop shop» of Salon and Spa De Crist. As a busy, working, mom I need one day for everything. So start with a MUCH needed facial, exfoliating and filling in fine lines. Rejuvenating my tired, dry, neglected, skin. Ahhhhh… so soft!!! Then hair by Rosie who ALWAYS gets the color and cut perfect. BEAUTIFUL BLOND!!! Rose specializes in color and is very creative. With my head in the bowl she waxes the eyebrows that REALLY needed attention. Then a soothing massage from Amanda or Michael, both of them are excellent and very professional. The spa is OOBER clean and the atmosphere is tranquil and top of the line. Ending the day with a spa pedicure from Lizzy, she is a perfectionist when it comes to pretty polish and the high quality massage chair is an added bonus. Janel, the owner, did not hold back when expanding her salon into a spa. TOP OF THE LINE! Classy, elegant and so peaceful.

In theory, I really like this place. They have always been able to book a spot for my cut and highlight needs at the semi-​last minute. They have always offered me water when I sit down. They are a new, locally-​grown, girl-​power initiative salon that sees their work as a salon a Christian ministry, even including the Chris Tomlin tunes playing throughout the very chic facility. It is for all these reasons that I want to give this place more than just 2 stars.
However, in the last two times I have gone here, I have left highly disappointed. The first visit was ok, as I was offered a free cut with a highlight, though the bill at the end of the day didn’t feel like it really included a free anything as it was pretty steep. No matter, I left with a decent haircut and color job, so no harm no foul.
My second visit here, however, was heartbreaking. I requested the same stylist I had before, though since she’s not much of a talker, I managed to try to use the time to bask in my own silence and catch up on magazine reading. The salon was preparing for their first open-​house that evening, though even asking about the event didn’t get me an invitation. Though I made sure to ask my stylist to make sure she cut all my dead ends off, regardless of the length, she only cut about a half an inch off. «Oh, actually, do you mind cutting off more? I know my split ends are crazier than ½ inch.» She snipped a few pieces here and there, though not as much as I had asked, leaving me to ask again and then again to cut off more! Then I asked her to please cut a bit of a layer around my shoulders and chin to give me a shaped effect around my face. She acknowledged that I asked, though never followed up on the task. I didn’t get a chance to ask again when I started telling her how my favorite part of getting my hair cut and colored was the way it is styled at the end after the blowdry. Not a second later did my hair gal look at her watch and bluntly say, «Oh, I gotta go — family stuff to do. You don’t mind leaving with a wet head, do you?» And with that — she was gone, and I was left to not only pay a hefty $ 90 bill, complete WITHOUT a blowdry and style — which meant that I had to go home in the 15 degree winter weather with a WET HEAD. She didn’t ask someone else to finish the job. Even the gal at the reception desk didn’t raise an eyebrow when I paid a far too expensive bill with a totally wet long head of hair.
Not cool to treat a customer like that, especially one that was so confident in your business. I won’t be back.

This place is too cute for words. The staff is very friendly and it’s a relaxing environment. They offer everything from massages to haircuts and coloring. It’s definitely a step in the right direction for Lee’s Summit, and every time I come home, I’m going to get my hair done by Kylie :)
I highly suggest coming to this place, as I have had a number of terrible haircuts for a much higher price.
Moderate pricing, great hair cuts, beautiful staff… You won’t regret coming here :)
