Ethos Aveda Salon

Quality and reliable service describe Ethos Aveda salon the best. I happened upon this place when my regular place a few blocks up the road did not return my phone calls after several tries. I was broken-​hearted since I really do love seeing my stylist and she always did a fantastic job.
I was hesitant at first but gave this place a try anyway. I was due for a trim and I wanted some side bangs. When I called, the woman asked me what type of stylist I wanted. I am not picky so I told her to just assign me to whoever is available.
They got me in the very next day which was great! I came in and was immediately greeted and checked in by a friendly personnel at the counter and then my stylist was notified of my arrival. He was busy finishing up with another client but 5 minutes later, he came and got me. We had a few minutes of consultation time and then he took me to the shampoo room. This is around the time I’ve made a good distinction between mediocre service to a great one! Ethos Aveda is definitely one of a kind. I have been to several salons around the area who have claimed to provide quality and relaxing service but I feel like I have never had any of those until I set foot inside this salon.
The shampoo room experience is fantastic. First of all, there is a sign that respectfully asks the client to not use their phone while in there for yourself as well as others (for complete peace and relaxation). Then there is the relaxing melody playing in the background (flute music yesterday). On the wall facing the wash chairs is a replica painting of Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night. The room is filled with fantastic scents as well. Then the stylist will start with the shampoo and conditioner ritual. Yes, ritual! At Ethos Aveda, they don’t just shampoo and condition your hair before starting with the rest of your services, they give you a completely new and relaxing experience that is unlike any I have experienced before. After shampooing and conditioning your hair, you get a choice of either a mini facial or a hand massage. I have had the pleasure of trying both and they are equally lovely! Then comes the scalp massage with your choice of oils: lavender or peppermint. You take 2 deep breaths and comes the invigorating scalp massage. I am generally at a loss for words at this point.
Just when you think it can’t get better than that, it does! When you get back to the chair, the stylist will give you a short but oh-​so-​satisfying neck and shoulder massage. I would say this is my favorite part but I honestly love everything including all the services I have received from this salon.
I have been in to see Steven (my stylist) a couple of times for a cut and I always leave happy. Yesterday, my appointment was for color. He was very careful during our consultation process since I have had some major bleaching and colors done over a year ago and my hair was a combination of some colors of red like they were last year, some darker variety in the middle and of course, my natural color several inches closer to the top. He used 3 different pigments with different intensity to make sure that I get an evenly vibrant result. He did tell me that he couldn’t guarantee a very vibrant color but I was pleasantly surprised with the end-​result. I went with a vibrant copper, more toward their intense lines and I love it. He was patient, asked someone else for extra advice/​opinion and explained to me why he was using the different pigmentations on each parts of my hair. When he was done and my hair was dried and styled, the overall color looked even and I couldn’t be happier.
The rest of he salon staff have always been friendly and great. After my Ethos Aveda salon experience, I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!

Sarah did a great job on my men’s hair cut. I am an attorney with the need to look both professional and contemporary. She took a long time with my hair. A skilled, patient craftswoman.

Would NEVER go back to the salon. Had the sytlist Sarah and she did a terrible job on my hair! She completely destroyed my hair, the color looked terrible. I have been coloring my hair for the 15 years and never had someone screw up so bad. I paid over 400 dollar to go to another salon for a color correction. The owners at Ethos were great to deal with and were very understanding and refunded the money. She charged me 300 dollars for ruining my hair. She acted like she had experience doing ombré but in reality had no idea.

What an amazing place! I went there with stainless steel roots done two weeks prior by a upscale salon and John and Zac owners were so delightful ! My master stylist Brittany made me feel comfortable and at ease even after seeing the chemical disaster. Never once did she do the «Drama OMG nonsense «she just went about doing what a well trained master stylist does miracles!
After I went home that night and washed my hair with my amazing Aveda shampoo/​conditioner purchased at Ethos, my color washed out because of the first salon stripped my hair to its pigment. I called and told Zac I need help they made arrangements and Brittany stated late to get my hair to perfection at no cost to me. Even though going in it was a horrible mess caused by a not so professional salon they took care of me till it was amazing! Thank you so very much for your fabulous well maintained welcoming salon!!! They know fashion begins with fabulous hair!!!
There is not enough words to describe how much I appreciate the professionalism I experienced and the genuine kindness while there.

Ethos Aveeda is a wonderful salon. Friendly staff greets you with a beverage of choice, my stylist is excellent and they provide a mini facial or hand massage with your hair services. I’ve been a client for more than a year now and was delighted that it was recommended to me by the Aveeda store at the mall. I moved from out of town and had fully expected to have to shop around but instead fell in love after my first visit. They also send text reminders and work to change appointments to get you in quickly when your plans change.

My previous stylist went MIA so I was in search of an Aveda salon and found Tiffany at Ethos. If you’ve never been to a true Aveda salon you’re in for a treat. The shampoo room is in its own quiet space and included with your shampoo is a wonderful scalp massage with Lavender or Peppermint oil plus a mini facial or hand massage. Tiffany does a fantastic job with high & low lights, very natural look. I gave her free reign for a new short style cut recently and she did an amazing job! I am so pleased with Tiffany and Ethos. I recommend her to all my friends.

I have been coming to Ethos since March of this year. Tonight was my 4^th visit, and all 4 have been with Britanny who is a master stylist. I have definite «brand» loyalty to Aveda salons and I always thought I was getting top notch service ever since 2010 when I started visiting Aveda salons exclusively, but I’ve learned Ethos, and Britanny specifically, go way above and beyond!
My color/​cut sessions always begin with a consultation where she takes a good look at how my color held up, if my hair is showing damage from styling, and the health of my scalp. The first two times I saw her she asked me lots of questions about what I wanted, but in the most recent two sessions she’s learned what I like and usually has a plan in her mind before I arrive. I put complete trust in her picking my color (tonight she put in highlights and I had no idea what color they were until my hair was dry). I love having a stylist I can trust. I am no expert at knowing what color or cut looks best on me, so I’m happy to leave it up to her.
Ethos offers a nice drink selection while you enjoy your services, I enjoy the glass of wine very much. While color is processing I wait at a nice table filled with any magazine you could ever want to read. I’ve also seen people take laptops on the table, it’s very versatile. While my color processes Britanny always books my next appointment.
The next part is what sets this experience apart from all the rest. Sure, we all love having our hair shampooed and conditioned but it is so much more. She does a mini-​facial which I wish I could describe properly but suffice it to say it is incredibly relaxing. There are oils and lotions and warm towels and rose water spritz and so much more. She also does a hand and arm massage using their hand lotion that is my all time favorite. This whole shampoo/​condition/​mini-​facial/​mini-​massage lasts 20? minutes or more. I lose track of time completely.
Upon arriving back in her chair, she gives one last mini-​massage on shoulders and neck. Then it’s time for a haircut which she always does quickly and very well. She’ll style your hair however you like, or like I always allow — let her surprise you.
It consistently takes 2 hours for my services and I enjoy the time very much. All the stylists are friendly and I appreciate that Britanny remembers things about me from each visit and asks about things I’ve told her before.
Otherwise, the salon is great. Everyone is friendly and helpful and they carry a great selection of Aveda products. I like that they have a system set up to text you to remind you of appointments.
One tip is to park in the garage behind Ethos, it is free but not immediately obvious. I highly recommend this salon, and definitely Britanny. As with any Aveda salon and with my choice of a master stylist, the prices are high, but it is a splurge I’m happy to make because I am always absolutely satisfied with my hair and I get a ton of compliments.

I’ve been going to Ethos and Sarah Harmon since fall 2014! It’s the best decision I’ve ever made! From the moment you step into Ethos, an Aveda concept salon, you are greeted by a warm, friendly and accommodating staff. Everyone makes you feel at home. Sarah is skilled at color and cut. She listens to and delivers what you want! These qualities are not easily found in a stylist. The personal service and skills Sarah provides are amazing. I receive compliments on my color and cut every day! Thank you Sarah Harmon! l

I’m one of those people who is always too scared to get anything new done to her hair… but today, after months of contemplating, I took the plunge and got some pretty color in my hair. My schedule is quite unpredictable, so I called in this afternoon, and the stylist said she’d stay late for me to do my cut and color (because she thought it would be fun!). I came in and said approximately what I wanted but in honesty, I told my stylist to do what she thought would look good. All I can say was I am BLOWN AWAY. My balayage looks incredible and the girl who did my hair was so sweet and fun to talk to. I really appreciated her enthusiasm for her art, and she made me feel so special for getting the balayage done. I have never said this before, but I can’t wait to make my next appointment. Cheers Ethos salon, you are the best!

I took my daughter based on a recommendation. I can say as a Father who knows little about that world; they made my daughter feel like a princess. Sara handled her color, cut and treatment and she was so happy. The ambience, décor, service, absolutely stand-​alone hospitality is truly second to none. Their training and care truly cannot be duplicated and I’m a hero for choosing them for her.

I started going here about 3 months ago. I get color with highlights and lowlights. Carrie is a senior stylist and is highly skilled with color. She corrected my previous color issues that occurred because my former Aveda color stylist left her salon and started using different product that doesn’t compare to Aveda. My hair was becoming very unhealthy and I was very unhappy with the color. We finally have it looking amazing again! Thank you Carrie! The salon is very nice and relaxing, also. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. I’ve been going to Tiffany for a few years now and she always gives me an amazing color and sassy haircut. Reasonably priced and of course, an aveda salon always is a high quality place. Great products, great people and a relaxing experience!

This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a salon! I found it near where I was staying and they were able to get me right in. I was nervous going to a new place but Ethos was amazing. Stephen did a great job and I couldn’t believe how reasonably priced they are. I’m going to switch to Aveda Salons after my experience here!

Great salon, skilled stylists and friendly front desk. All the perks make you feel special! Can’t wait to go back!

Tiffany is the best stylist I have had in a long time! I found this salon randomly when I was living in St. Louis for the summer. I am now living in Columbia (2 hours away) and I drive the 2 hours to get my hair done from Tiffany because she is fantastic. Her cut and color is amazing!

I have used this salon for several years. I have always been happy with the pricing and more importantly, the stylists are exceptional. I have searched for a good salon in St. Louis for years, and Salon Ethos is the only salon that I have found at level consistent with cuts, color and styling that I have found in much bigger cities, like Chicago, New York and Las Vegas. I just took my two children today. Steve did a fantastic job with both my 11 year old daughter and 8 year old son. He has amazing talent, and both of the children were thrilled with the outcome. Everyone that has seen it thinks it is the best haircut my son has ever had, and I agree! I couldn’t be more pleased, again!

I love my new haircut and prices are very reasonable. Steven is amazing! Oh and did I mentioned facial spa that is included in the price? Great experience with this Salon

Brittany is the best stylist! She knew just what to do with my hair. I now have the best hair ever! She recommended the Be Curly product line for me, and I couldn’t ask for anything more! My hair is perfect! Thank you Brittany to the moon and back!!!

Had a great experience here!
I was in a last minute time crunch and desperately needed to get my hair colored and cut. I called around noon and they were able to fit me in at 4, couldn’t find any other salon that would do that.
Rachael is amazing. She did my color, cut, and conditioning treatment. The service was great and I LOVE what she did to my hair. I have been getting my hair colored for about 10 years and the color/​highlight she did is probably my favorite. My hair was a complete mess after months of bad dye jobs but she completely fixed it and gave me exactly what I wanted — very impressive considering how awful my hair was going in to the appointment.
I already have my next appointment booked! Highly recommended!

This will be a long one, but thorough!
Backstory: I just want to start by saying in the past I’ve been incredibly skeptical of going to salons in general. My cosmetologist friend yelled at me to start going so I wouldn’t damage my hair. I went to salon after salon and wouldn’t return mostly because the stylists would talk me out of cutting my extremely long hair because they were afraid I would hate it. Until this salon, I never went to the same place twice. Ever.
So, after I moved, I went to an Aveda Salon close to my house and had a bad experience. My color faded quickly and again, the stylist nicely refused to chop off my hair. I knew I wasn’t going back and I was hesitant when a friend recommended Ethos Aveda Salon.
The Review:
I made an appointment and got in pretty quickly. The salon was beautiful. Relaxing, chic, and the lady at the front greeted me and offered an assortment of beverages. Then, Cheryl. Omg, first and foremost, I told her I wanted something edgy and professional. SHE CUT MY HAIR OFF, like I asked and I was so happy someone LISTENED TO ME. Not only did she cut it, it looked awesome. She also dyed it a vibrant red and she made suggestions that made sense. She also explained what she was doing and why. After all was said and done, she did offer me products but I didn’t feel like I –had– to buy something, even though I did. I booked another appointment. I went and everything was great a second time. We did touch ups and went a bit shorter on my hair.
Tonight was my third visit. I decided to switch things up a bit on Cheryl and go brunette. We discussed it and decided on a color and i knew ahead of time with the vibrant red, I would still probably see some red after the new dye. But, my hair didn’t take it like it should’ve. We did it a second time and it still didn’t take. And I was panicking because it was getting close to closing time and I didn’t want to keep the staff but I didn’t want to leave in tears and be upset with the money spent. Especially because I’m leaving for vacation next week and wouldn’t have time to come back in and didn’t want to have to pay to come back in. Cheryl did it one more time and went a shade darker than our original plan and FINALLY, the red was minimal and didn’t look like an Aveda color tornado reeked havoc on my head. After 2−½ hours, I am SO happy with the way it turned out.
Cheryl is phenomenal with both cuts and colors. She spends as much time as needed to make you comfortable and make you happy with what you get. The only ding I have is just the price. I’m still acclimating to paying this much, but you get what you pay for, for sure. But, the whole Ethos staff is terrific, the atmosphere is awesome, the products are great and I never get tired of the way they smell. The results are simply top notch.
