Strands

Lucy did a great job on my hair today.
Friendly staff, reasonably priced, great location, lots of street parking. Happy to have found this place.

Stephanie is new to strands but I used to go to her when she lived in California. She always did an amazing haircut of exactly what I wanted! I have long hair and I love to keep it that way. She always cut the perfect amount off to keep me healthy and long! She also has done a really fun pink ombré on me which turned out beautiful. She has done my hair for prom which was a beautiful braided hairstyle, I seriously got sooo many comments on my hair that night! Most recently she did a full set of high lights on me which gave me the perfect color blonde I desired. I highly recommend her to anyone because she is more than capable of doing any style, or color you want. She also has a super fun personality which made every experience with her a joy!

Still love this salon — had my first appointment with Kevin yesterday, and he by far exceeded my expectations! He magically repaired my damaged hair without cutting a ton off, and boliaged it beautifully to create a great texture. My husband tells me how much he loves it about every 5 minutes :) Thanks, Strands!

Getting an awesome, trendy color and cut with Kevin Govero at Strands. This is the place to go. He is by far the best colorist I’ve met! Always on OR AHEAD of the trends.

I absolutely LOVE Maria Knight for her amazing skills (and killer scalp massage)! I received a horrible haircut from a salon in CWE, tried to get it corrected by a master stylist at the same salon and she butchered it even more. I could finally get in with Maria. She spent time figuring out how to correct it and created a plan for how to grow out my long, curly hair so it’s not a hot mess.

I went for the first time to Strands yesterday. Honestly after looking on Unilocal,Strands was not my first choice but the fact is the other hair salons I contacted never replied to me even tho I called them 3 to 5 times a day for two days. I finally called Strands and someone answered me right away which was very nice and we planned an appointment for the next week ! And that was just GREAT ! Alyssa took care of my hair after talking and make sure about what I wanted. The thing that I really really appreciated it’s the stylists are taking care of one client at a time ! Thing that never happened in the other hair salons I used to go, where stylists were very busy with different clients that I was pretty often. forgotten. Anyway Alyssa did an amazing job she dyed my kind of light brown hair with ginger reflect in blond and also did lighter highlights for a result that looks just super natural and that I am in love with ! The price I paid was also very pleasant :) !! I definitely found my hair salon :)

I am totally in love with my new cut! After a whole year of trying to find a new stylist I am happy to finally find Kevin at STRANDS! His technique and tips for styling my hair really help me get the most out of my new style. I couldnt be happier!

Made a Unilocal account just to give props to Kathy because she is so talented! She gave great advice on a cut and color, and was extremely personable. They also have a chill dog that hangs around who is pretty adorable.

Love this place! I had an amazing experience. Cathy was so wonderful. If you have very thin hair she can do wonders with it. Everyone was very nice and made it well worth the money.

This was my second time to Strands but first time with Alyssa. She was amazing! She got rid of these highlights I hated and gave me a beautiful nature ombré. I finally found a hair stylist I love in St. Louis! I will absolutely be back to see her again and would recommend her to anyone!!!

Went to Maria and got a fabulous haircut. She recommended great products and explained how to style my hair easily. A month later I am still in love with my haircut!

Had some great cuts and color here!

I have difficult-​to-​manage curly hair so I’m very particular about who I go to, and I have to say Maria Knight is an ARTIST. I don’t think I have ever gotten such a good haircut.
Bonus:The aromatherapy scalp massage before the cut is amazing.

I love coming here and I love all the stylists! Maria cuts and colors my hair, but I’d trust any of them to do it. Ninfa has the best looking hair in the salon and her color inspired my latest daring do! Katie (coordinator) is great too. They are all willing to work around our crazy schedules and will squeeze you in if they can.

I don’t write a lot of reviews, but when I do, it’s usually because the place is really, really good or really, really bad. Strands was AMAZING.
I came in and the receptionist had me fill out a self-​assessment about my hair (what products I use, styling tools, daily routines, what I want my hair to look like, time I want to spend on my hair, etc.), which was great because it showed the stylists were interested in my hair outside of the salon.
Then I sat down with Maria Knight, my stylist, and she went through my assessment with me and asked a few questions. She then pulled out her iPad and we went through some pictures to make sure we both had the same hair cut/​style in mind.
After we both determined we were on the same page, she gave me a fantastic scalp massage and washed my hair. After she cut my hair, she explained how to style and do other fun things with my hair, which is helpful because I am terrible at maintaining my hair once I leave the salon.
Bottom line: Maria really listened to what I wanted and simultaneously elevated my hair style. I told her I didn’t want a drastic hair cut or some cutting-​edge, hip look. Just something classic and conservative, but refined by her artistic vision/​opinion. She listened and I got a beautiful hair cut with everything I wanted and more from her added suggestions. The price was more than reasonable based on how I was treated.
Great salon. I’m definitely going back for as long as I’m living in St. Louis.

I have been going to Kevin for 10 years!!! yes…10 years… and I wouldnt DARE trust another single soul with my hair… I normally walk in with an idea of what I want (and usually inspired by a celebrity or two), and it ALWAYS exceeds my expectations… he is INCREDIBLE beyond words… you want to look like a star, and feel like a star— go to Kevin!!! I always look fabulous when I walk out of those doors… be aware the price is not cheap… not even remotely cheap… but you pay for what you get. cheap stylist-​cheap hair… and this place is royalty… l

My hair had been driving me absolutely crazy! It was long, lifeless, and boring. I wanted a change but didn’t quite know what kind of cut would actually work on me.
I made an appointment with Maria after reading glowing reviews about her and I can now sing her praises along with the rest of them. She took great care to learn my hair and what would work for me. I was indecisive between two different lengths but she went above and beyond by offering to cut the longer of the two to try it out and then cut it shorter if I thought that would be better. She devoted ample time to me and my hair, educating me on how to keep it healthy and style it! I cannot say enough about what a great experience it was.

Maria is amazing!
First hairdresser I’ve ever had that ACTUALLY knew how to work with curly hair!
Worth EVERY penny!

I moved here last summer and was very apprehensive about finding a new stylist. I walked past Strands a few times and finally went in and made an appointment with Maria, best decision ever!
Maria saved my hair, got me to the best color I have ever had. My hair was short when I met her and I was not happy with it. Over the past year she has really worked with me growing it out and keeping it looking cute at every stage.
Now my whole family goes to her, she is great with every hair type and super cool on top of it all!

I have been frequenting Strands since 2005 and have never looked back!
I’m a little elitist when it comes to hair care, it is of course the first thing that people see when I’m walking down the street, so I think it’s really important.
That being said, I need for my hairstylist to be HOT. I mean, noticeably hot because someone who is hot, has to have hot taste, and that’s whose hands I want in my hair.
It could help that the stylist is my friend, but… Maria is hot. And she makes me hot. Maybe it’s just because of association but I truly believe that it’s because she is touched with the gift of hotness.
This is not to say of course that Ninfa, or Kevin, who are both hot as well would not do as great a job on your head, in turn making you hot.
It’s pricey, but 100% worth it.
Over the years they have become like family. They’ve been doing my hair since I was bald, they styled my best people’s hair for my wedding, they cut my teenager’s hair and give her any colored hair extensions she wants, making her hot in her own little teen aged way and they will cut my babies hair. That is of course when I can part with any hair off her cute little head.
