Hair Salons in Maryland Heights

Inside a whitewashed New England colonial building in the historical district of Saint Charles, Christina Reed chats with clients about exactly what look they’re going for. Once she zeroes in on the style, she makes the first cut, sending damp curls and split ends to their eternal reward. Meanwhile, Steve Edwards—the salon’s owner and a Schwarzkopf trainer who leads young colorists into their chromatic careers—supervises color and texturizing services, keratin hair-smoothing treatments, and feather extensions.

The team of aestheticians at Shear Art Salon stays abreast of hair and nail trends by receiving continual education. Pulling from an arsenal of Redken products, stylists use their understanding of all hair types to revivify flagging hairdos with artful snips and all-over, dimensional, and corrective color treatments. The multitalented techs can also conquer hair along facial terrains with waxing services and highlight digits in bold coats of OPI color.

At Byblos Hair Salon, a team of industry veterans and young talent combine to harmonize time-tested techniques and recent trends. Under the leadership of owner and artistic director Joseph, the senior staff works hand in hand with a crop of next-generation stylists to help develop the skills needed to craft personalized looks and razor-sharp pairs of origami scissors. The stylists snip and sculpt amid an atmosphere that echoes their modern approach and surrounds clients in sleek marble accents, black and white tiled floors, and an open-ceiling design. The team also maintains a rich online presence, and their website's media gallery showcases fashion-focused photos and videos captured under the beaming lights of an on-site media studio.

Since opening in 2001, Splash Hair Salon has doubled its space in order to incorporate a spa and boutique. Today, the company is an expansive beauty enterprise with a multidepartmental staff and its very own cucumber farm. Aestheticians rejuvenate complexions with Jan Marini products, pressurized oxygen, and red-light therapy as stylists subtract length or add color to manes. Meanwhile, style consultants at A Drop of Splash boutique help clients accentuate their new complexions or coifs with apparel from brands including Rock Revival and Parasuco.

Natural sunlight filters through Sheared Hair Studio's quaint cottage windows, splashing across the pastel walls that house the hair salon, tanning bed, nailcare center, and aesthetics room. Much like Rip Van Winkle, three out of four of Sheared’s staffers boast more than 20 years in their chosen field, combining their talents to execute haircuts, facials, lash extensions, body polishes, and mani-pedis.

Marc Stevens's army of aestheticians—oft referred to as the Care Team—revivifies clients with a full range of salon and spa services for the nails, skin, and hair. Team members continually expand and refine their talents during monthly workshops in which salon innovations and upcoming fanny-pack trends are revealed. Team members at the spa, which has red-tile floors and intricate black chairs, believe that the art of beauty can be tailored to the needs of each client.
