Salon K

My daughter is a freshman at Wash U in St. Louis and I wanted to treat her to getting her hair colored. I was looking for a salon on the Loop that would be easily accessible for her. After doing a little research on Unilocal,I settled on Salon K. I will neither confirm nor deny that I chose Salon K after reading about the resident dog.
When we arrived, we were greeted by a tiny wisp of a dog. I believe he is some type of poo. Maltipoo perhaps? He was darling and he has a wicked sense of humor as he was wearing a little blue sweater that read «STUD».
Casey was finishing up with a client. She had colored the client’s hair red and it was gorgeous. So gorgeous that I seriously considered having her color my hair the same color while I was there. We had to wait about fifteen minutes for our appointment but we got to hold the little dog, so who is counting?
It was Lily’s turn and to be honest, I’m not sure what transpired over the next couple of hours. The little dog napped in his bed and I napped on the couch. Lily woke me up and her hair was absolutely beautiful. Her hair is naturally a medium brown and she had been wearing it almost platinum for some time. Casey colored it a gorgeous natural looking blonde with none of those pesky brassy or yellow tones.
I was a little concerned about the price after reading the previous reviews, but it wasn’t any higher than I am used to paying at salons in Kansas City. We were both very happy with the experience and I only wish that Casey was in Kansas City as well. I may have to get my hair colored, too, next time!

I went for the first time to see Casey at the recommendation of my sister. She did a great job with my cut and color, probably one of the best I’ve ever had, but I was shocked by the price since I have short, fine hair. Just be wary and ask for prices ahead of time if you are on a budget.
Love that the dogs hang out in the salon!

I’ve been going to Salon K for a little under a year. A couple of visits ago, I asked Casey to change up my style. As a result, I’ve gotten so many compliments and positive feedback on my look — an unprecedented amount. I’m a dude. I had no allegiance to this place until they gave me a haircut that single handedly earned me the number of a very attractive woman later that evening.
I am serious. The haircut actually did that for me.

LOVE MY NEW LOOK!
Thank you Casey for your awesome style and cut! I love this salon so much it has made me purty again!
This place is a little hidden gem nestled in the U-​City Loop and I love how homey and warm this establishment is. Really, Casey does a great job just listening and hearing what you want. When I said an Alli Sheedy a la Breakfast Club mixed with Joan Jett circa 1983 haircut she got it spot on! She was honest that my limp thin hair requires work, but gave me a style that requires the least amount of work to make me look hawt!
Are you looking for a new stylist: I’ve found her! Head to Salon K!

Casey has been cutting my hair for almost five years now, and I love Salon K! It’s a very chill, relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and always having a great time. They are great about working you in when you forget to schedule an appointment in advance (which is usually how I roll). I love that Casey takes my indecisiveness about my hair color and style and always works it into something that I like. Anymore, I show up and tell her if I want the color lighter or darker, and she takes it from there. I’m always thrilled with the result!

Ah… Salon K… simply the best. I have been going to Salon K for 7 years. I moved to Chicago 6 years ago. Yes, I live in Chicago and drive back to STL to get my hair done by Casey. There are many good/​great salons in Chicago… and none of them have a stylist as talented as Casey. The girl knows hair and she knows her clients. I really wish she would move up here.
She can cut straight hair, curly hair, short hair, long hair… it’s not that often that a stylist can successfully cut curly hair so that it will look good straight or curly. In addition, she is amazing at gray coverage and color! The girl is gifted with color. She also knows what will work on your body type… and more importantly what you will like. I have asked for numerous cuts that she was like… I’ll do it, but you’re not going to like it! Many times talking me into something she knew I would like. Thank God! The girl knows me better than I know myself! The one time that I convinced her that I was sure I would like the cut, she cut it for me… knowing I wouldn’t love it. Cutest little swing bob… and I couldn’t handle it. She was right… I went back the next day to get it put the way and she fixed it to my normal liking. She knows how to read her clients and how to take good care of them.
The salon is so laid back and chill. The perfect environment. The conversation is always awesome and will often have you laughing so hard you can’t handle it.
If you are looking for a new stylist give this girl a shot. She has great hours, easy to get an appointment, will squeeze you in when you are having a hair emergency, and puts her customers first. Once you go Casey, you will never want to leave. Love her, love the shop! Salon K rocks!

i have been going to see Casey now for the past 5 or 6 years and may she never ever move/​change professions/​turn me away. on top of it being a great, intimate atmosphere w/​a chill vibe, you are also almost guaranteed the company of a DOG which to me, is pretty awesome. especially when the dogs are either Casey or Kim’s since they seem to be dog whisperers. prices are reasonable, it’s not a nightmare to get an appointment scheduled (they’re also quick to respond to voicemails) AND they make their own products. i love this place and am so thankful my friend recommended me here years ago.

I have been going to get my hair cut from Casey and Kim at Salon K for 4 years now. It is the best. It is a small place with just two seats and you are almost guaranteed to be joined by Casey’s and Kim’s huge dogs that sit and stair out the window. They are big wimps at first but quickly warm up to you if you are like me and can’t help but give them a good pet.
Kim and Casey are the best. I can only talk about guys haircuts but have seen plenty of women in there who seem to be consistent clients over the years so I assume there women’s cuts are also pretty good. The best part is for a small boutique like place it is not overly expensive and you usually have a great conversation with either of Kim or Casey too.
Interesting fact: Casey is the hairdresser who found the copy of the Twilight script in the trash this past spring and was on all types of national news programs cause she returned the script and got tickets to see the première as a thank you. Ask her about it and you will probably get to look at a photo book she made up of her posing with all the movie’s stars.
