Review content:
I have known Derrick Sharp for a little over 4 years now, and I don?t think there is a better stylist in the city of Saint Louis, or the entire Midwest. I almost don?t want to write this post because I am confident that after one hair cut or color with Derrick, you will be filling up his appointment book and taking my most coveted appointment times. When I met Derrick I was looking to break free of the monotony of my repetitive 1990?s hair cut I had been getting since high school. I was well out of college and about to start my career in medicine and needed something edgy that fit my personality, but professional that wouldn?t give my stroke patients another stroke. Before Derrick, I hadn?t met a stylist in St. Louis yet who could give my bland haircut a new lift while keeping it tame. Needless to say, he delivered and has never let me down since. I?ll never forget a time when I went to him and watched him sit there, listening to me describe this hairstyle that was a combination of Posh Spice on the January 2008 issue of Elle Magazine (google image it) and ICU PA who takes care of people who cannot be shocked into cardiac arrest. I thought he was going to tell me ?you?re out of your mind,? but instead he smiled disappeared and came back with bowls of color and started cutting. As he cut my hair, he explained what he was doing and why, as well as how to maintain the style I so anxiously wanted to have in a 3 and 6 month period. I walked out of there not only loving my haircut but coming home to my stubborn mother and convincing her to finally book an appointment with Derrick as well (goes to show that a great haircut is a powerful thing). Since then, Derrick is like family. My mother, sister, and myself have gone to him for years. He is not only the best at his trade, he is also professional, generous and kind. He sees the best qualities in each individual, and will strive to reflect that in your haircut, color and style.
Side note: I also cannot say enough great things about Michael Isaiah Designs. Michael, the owner and stylist, only employs the best hair stylists (as evidenced by my review above). Let?s be honest, sometimes you feel vulnerable having your hair cut and colored. I have been to some St. Louis salons, that shall remain nameless, where everyone in is in white lab coats and it?s very?sterile. You will find the atmosphere at Michael Isaiah comfortable, professional and fun. Overall, a fabulous salon!
Pros: Derrick Sharp, experience, professionalism.
