Shi Salon

I GO TO SHI SALON. I LOVE IT! MY STYLIST IS THE HAIR DOCTER "MS JENNY".I use to dread all day experiences at the salon. Until I was referred by a friend to Shi salon .Shi Salon is different, unique, pricey but worth every penny. Shi is about style and attitude. One does not go to Shi for a hair style , you go there for a sense of beauty a sense of understanding and discovering who you are just by your hair. I have been in severe hair trouble and being a local entertainer I do not need to get caught slipping to many times, with a bad head, I know that if I call the doctor s, at any time,she is going to fit me to ensure that my needs are met. Everytime I leave that salon I know i'm going to feel refreshed and renewed from the inside out. My stylist is very uplifting she is positive and wants to see me look good! She empowers you to work on your inner beauty and she will secure the rest. Sheprovides you with an image thats for YOU! The whole time you are there the stlyist are asking you to relax, from the massage you get at the shampoo bowl to the melodic flows of soulful music that you will hear playin in the room to the inpirational quotes you can read by the dryer stations.This is all very uplifting to me. The atmosphere is very comfortable,put ya cell phone down, and just relax, comfortable, ecclecticand stylish. I love the image mirror in front of your chair , you can watch your hair being styled. There are no surrpises...Actually there are, u will be amaz ed and pleased at your hair results.I have gotten up from the chair with a new do and been like is that me? You can tell a Shi girl becasue ladies that go to Shi pay the cost to be the boss!!! Every one that is someone in StLOuis must experience the Shi Salon. I go every week even if its just for a touch up!!! I need that magic, I need their blessings I need Dr Jenny from the Shi salon in my life. I have Shi Salon as my top friend on myspace page so you know I'm serious about this place. more

I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. This salon is the absolute best in St. Louis as far as natural hair is concerned. They willhave your hair pressed out face neck nose hand more

Best place to get yo dooo did!! i love this salon, i have been coming to these group of women for over 10 years and when i walk through the door im always met with a friendly face and my name specific greeting. if i were to compare my experience to something i would say Norm on "cheers" you are always made to feel welcome, they are trendy, my hair always looks like i paid a billion dollars for it and im more than pleased when i leave. (shhh, sometimes i feel like a hot girl...lol) HOWEVER, u do have to pay for parking and a "busted" meter maid seems to snake her way around when your defences are low and passes out plenty of $10 tickets......but dont hold that against the salon, its a wonderful experience, i know, i wouldnt give my money to anyone else. ****BUT ONCE I DID AND IT LOOKED LIKE SHE PUT A BOWL ON MY HEAD AND CUT AROUND IT.....TIFFANY (THE STYLIST) SAVED THE DAY.......YEA FOR SHI Pros: everyone can do hair Cons: parking and the stank meter maid more

Shi Salon has a very professional staff. They offer excellent customer service while providing comfort to all of thier clients. My stylist, Tiffany, is extremley good at her craft. She uses great products, gives great recommendations and leaves your hair healthy and stylish. They only con that I have is the parking and the prices. They are pricey, but you pay for what you get! more

The salon is trendy, and the staff is nice. Unfortunately, they can get expensive. They use fairly good products, and are up to date on the newest styles. The owner is pleasent just as well as the other stylist. Look at their site for pricing info. FYI a relaxer and trimmed ends will cost you $100 and if you add in a tip you're looking at $115. You also have to pay for your own parking at the meter because they do not have a parking lot. The good thing is, they'll tell you if you leave a comment on this site they'll give you $10 off on your next service. If you can afford it, or are wiling to pay the price I say go for it. If this is just too pricey for you, seek elsewhere. Pros: Products, Atmosphere Cons: Parking, Timeliness more

I just relocated here to St. Louis from Charlotte, NC and was in search on-line for a new hair salon. I have been with the same hair stylist for over 11 years, so I was a bit anxious trying someone new. When I called to make my appointment I was greeted by a stylist named Abra. She had great phone etiquette, which impressed me first. While waiting on my turn to get serviced, Abra made sure that I was comfortable by offering me a beverage and a snack. She also gave me her full attention during the entire visit, explaining every process that took place. The salon is set up quite nicely, and you can pay by credit card too. I was very pleased by my salon experience from the time I came in until I left. I look forward to seeing Abra again on my next appointment. Pros: Quality Customer Service Cons: Pay to park more

We found this salon thru a website called mixedchicks. It is one of the only salons that carry a product for mixed ethnicticites. I have been to numerous salons over 13 years to try to learn how to style and "tame" my 13year olds wild hair. We have been all over the east coast and everywhere in between, to no avail. We have been told by "White" salons to go to "Black" salons, and "Black salons tell us to go to "White". We have gone to many and the stylist have been lacking of the knowledge of how or what to do to my daughters hair. Not for lack of trying, but often did more damage than good. We stopped in today to check it out and ask questions. We were blessed to meet Abra one of the stylist. She gave us a free consultation and took my daughter to her chair and I belive a miracle was performed!!! My daughters hair is long, curly, dry, thick and matted. When Abra was finished I did not reconize my daughter. She had her hair more beautiful than I have EVER seen it. She took her time, explained how to maintain and the follow up care that my daughter needed and when to maintain her goregous now long straight silky shining hair. My daughter said after,it felt like her head had lost weight. It was lighter and so pretty. She couldn't stop running her fingers through her hair! We drove over an hour and 1/2 to get to Shi Salon and will be going back!!! This young pretty lady Abra made my daughters year. I would recommend no other salon for mixed ethnic young and old alike. Abra and the others at the salon made us feel welcome and appreciated our bussiness. I wish all salons would take a lesson on Customer Service from these ladies!!! There Trully is no finer salon East of West. Beautiful contemporary yet "homey" feel. The prices were very reasonable!!! Want to look like a Queen make and appointment at Shi Salon. There hours are great and the ladies are really AWESOME!!! SO much bought a gift cert. Thank-you Abra and Shi. Sheila Lamczyk Pros: EVERYTHING Also offed gift cert. Cons: Parking was limited, but not a probem at all. I wish that had a salon on the east side of the river more

I loved this salon, I liked that I didn't have to wait a long time like I would at other salons. I liked the fact that they used my name like I have been going there for a long time. They were very personable and polite. I would recommend this place to anyone who doesn't like to wait and who enjoys fun and modern hair styles. Pros: Customer service Cons: parking meters more

" I moved to Saint Louis from Los Angeles, and have had quiet a few experiences. Needless to say, some were not so favorable. I decided to search the internet for a stylist, and I "clicked" on Shi Salon. I am not very computer literate or savvy, but was impressed with the content. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Genesis Phd , and walked out the ANNOINTED DIVA that was repressed since arriving to St. Louis. The ambience was awesome and the fellowship of the saints in this place was unexplainable. These sistas were spiritual, and their mindset and professionalism showed no evidence of carnality. PRAISE HIM FOR BEING THE LAMP TO SHI. You all are the best!!!!!!!! Pros: The skill level and timliness Cons: The parking meters more

I have never been to a salon like Shi in my life. From the moment I stepped in I could tell it was extremely different as I was handed a questionnaire pertaining to my hair type, regimen, and problems. Tiffany was my hairstylist and I LOVE what she did to my hair. For the first time, my hair actually has body and rarely ever needs to be styled because of the low maintenance cut she gave me. I plan to return to Shi, with Tiffany as my stylist of course. Pros: Walk out looking and feeling better than you came in. Cons: The price nearly broke my bank as a college student. more

I called Shi Salon less than 24 hours ago in an absolute panic. With a very special occasion just 48 hours away, I still had no one to do my hair. It hadn't been touched by a professional in months. I looked like the Bride of Frankenstein rather than ready to be one. I called Shi Salon yesterday late in the day. I spoke to Jessica, who not only soothed my frazzled nerves (by the time I found them I was almost in tears) but set me up with Tiffany for the very first thing this morning. Tiffany, after only talking with me for a few moments, seemed totally in tune with what I needed. In no time I felt so relaxed in Tiffany's care I stopped worrying and just enjoyed the experience. About an hour later, I was ready. I love my hair, and have already recieved many compliments!! THANK YOU Shi Salon....Jessica, Tiffany and the other stylists who made me feel right at home. Pros: Customer Service, Attitude, Caring atmosphere Cons: Weren't ANY in my experience. more

Shi salon provides excellent customer service. Jennices is a very professional and caring beautician. I enjoy the way she educates her clients along the way, while during their hair. She's the best! Also, her boss, Marie is a great person and a thriving beautician in the industry . Pros: Salon is very tranquil more

If you are looking for professional service, I highly recommend the Shi Salon. The staff is very friendly. I personally thank Ms. Moreen Williams. She answers all of my hair care questions, and does a fantastic job everytime. I am very pleased with her and the staff!!!!! more

I wrote a review last week of my "first impression", if you will, of the staff at Shi Salon when making my very first appointment. In the content of my review, I expressed my need for a hair care professional. Well, here is the update... I met with Shawn on Friday and everything about my experience was fantastic! They use awesome products at Shi and the atmosphere is very inviting. I was given a tour of the salon and was introduced to the entire staff, all of whom are extremely friendly. After sitting in Shawn's chair, she walked me through, in detail, the condition of my hair and the necessary steps needed to improve it, and in some areas, to simply maintain its current condition. She is everything I could have hoped for in a hair care professional. I highly recommend the salon...and be sure to ask for Shawn. Pros: Service, Products, Staff Cons: None more

I am excited about my 1st appointment at the Shi Salon. I have heard (and seen) many great things about them. My sister-in-law always looks great after her "Shi Experience" with Marie. I have heard that the customer service is excellent, the salon is classy and peaceful, and they show genuine concern about your hair care needs. I am truly looking forward to my appointment this Saturday with Marie. I'll have more to say after my first "Shi Experience". more

on may 23, 2007, i visited Shi Salon for the first time. My appt. was with Tiffany. The salon was very peaceful and everyone was professinal and friendly. When i was done with my customer profile, Tiffany was ready for me. I discussed my fears and concerns when it came to my hair. She listened and for the most part thereafter, I allowed her to do her magic. When it was all done, I loved my hair and the whole "Shi Experience". Pros: friendly with a pleasant atmosphere Cons: parking more

I have been going to Shi Salon for 3 years so that should speak for itself. The atmosphere is relaxing and evening appointments are available, which fit in great with my schedule. I would recommend this salon to anyone wanting a change, a great stylist, and a professional atmosphere. I will be moving soon so I will have to find someone that can compare to Tiffany. She has talent so I know that will be hard to find. Pros: Variety of services that are offered Cons: N/A more

I love Shi Salon! Tiffany is my "stylist extraordinaire". She takes the time to analyze my natural hair to see what it needs to remain healthy. My natural hair looks like relaxed hair-same movement, texture and lustre. Tiffany is a master of her craft and excels in cutting, styling and managing natural hair. Pros: Evening appointments, timely service Cons: meter parking more

Shi salon has a great atmosphere and everyone is very friendly. They serve their clients coffees, teas, snacks and even more on special occasions. Shawn is one of the stylists there and she is awesome! She takes her time with each client, yet she is very timely. If she is running late, she will be sure to call you--- She is very respectful of her clients' time and that is top priority for me as a busy professional. She works with all hair types and can get natural hair as straight and bouncy as a perm. I never have to worry about how she'll style my hair; always very classy. Just tell her what you're in for and you don't need to worry about anything else. Pros: nice, clean, relaxing atmosphere Cons: location is a bit desolate more

I have been going to Maria for about 8 years. I love the way she takes her time with my hair,keeps it very healthy. She always up to date with styles, cuts,and coloring. The staff is friendly and every stylist in Shi Salon can do hair. I receive so many complements after Maria finish my hair, it just makes me feel good because I know I have a stylist and a beautician. A stylist can only style hair , a beautician can do it all, and thats what I have at Shi Salon shawnee(mrs. lee) more
