Generally, when I visit a hairstylist, I don't ask for anything too unique...in my experience, there was always something lacking in the way that they cut my hair; the bangs were too short, the layers were flat and unnoticeable, the color was two shades darker than I had asked etc....However, three years with the same haircut makes you do crazy things, and I needed a change. I clipped out a picture from a magazine, and brought it in, half-expecting some catastrophe like all my prior experiences. I had NOTHING to worry about. Not only was the haircut EXACTLY what I wanted, completely devoid of mistake or error, but James actually fixed errors that the previous hairstylists had left behind, like re-cutting layers that left my hair looking flat and lifeless. He did something that I was not used to; he cut my hair while it was still dry, and although i couldn't understand why at the time, it made perfect sense when he was finished: my hair hung JUST the way that he had cut it, not how it would have if he had cut it wet. James is incredibly talented and professional, and has been recognized by magazines and institutions as one of the best hairstylists that the Midwest has to offer. The atmosphere was exotic and interesting; unique and beautiful art hung from the walls, and gorgeous caged birds were everywhere in the room. James uses amazing natural products (over 45% organic ingredients), and showed me easy ways to style my new 'do. I highly recommend St. James Place, and from now on, I refuse to go to any other hairstylist.
