Breeze Blow Dry Bar

I was really excited to get my hair done a wedding I was going to and I left pretty disappointed. I arrived at 8 for my 8am appointment, my stylist arrived at 8:05, I showed her some pictures of some long relaxed curls, like VS fashion show, I thought it was a pretty common request. I ended up with tons of little curls that reminded me of when I got my prom hair done 13 years ago. When she asked me if I liked it and my response was ummm can you brush it out so its more like the pictures, she said it would fall, which I get to make it looser. So we ended up putting it half up trying to make it look better, but overall just unhappy and I didn’t feel like she was too concern with my unhappiness with it. She asked if i wanted hair spray… obviously yes. When she was finally done we both said thanks to each other and i walked myself up to the front confused of where I was supposed to pay. Overall, really disappointed. Needless to say I had to redo my hair when I got home because it was already limp and not what I wanted, had I have known I would have saved $ 40 and an hour of my time.

I’ve been here about 4 – 5 times now I think and I am in love. I probably would come here once a week if I could. I’ve never had bad hair leaving the salon (I usually walk in with it looking like garbage) and it’s so quick and cheap here. My hair never feels like it’s stuffed with products. Everyone is super friendly and the online appointment booking and pay makes everything easier.

I love this place! They gave me a wonderful shampoo and great blow out! My hair feels like silk!

I visited this salon for the first time today. It seemed pretty slow, probably because it was a Sunday. I was greeted promptly and offered a drink. My stylist (Sabina) styled my hair wonderfully and I was finished right on time. I appreciated that she wasn’t pushy with buying products, but she did tell me they have packages for the blow outs that offer a little bit of a discount. I will definitely be back here and might try the makeup services as well.

I was not impressed. When I asked to not have a lot of product in my hair they proceeded to dump a lot of crap in it. Why can’t anyone here do a decent blow out? Even a place that supposedly specializes in it!

What a great place and they do a fabulous job! I have been to several of the stylists and I have a few favorites but they all are well trained and do a great job! Pleasant, professional and always courteous. I have thick curly hair and this service is the greatest treat ever for me! The packages save you money if you plan to go more than a few times. I haven’t tried the makeup application but the blow outs and up do’s are wonderful!

I’ve had my hair blown out at local blow dry bars quite a few times… they offer several different styling options, each of which is included in the cost of the blowout. The style I wanted is one that is usually included… nothing fussy or complicated. When I booked this appointment, I did tell them I wanted an updo, but I meant one of the options they would normally offer with a blowout. I asked if I should come with my hair already washed and the receptionist said yes, or that they could also wash and dry, but that would cost extra. Before hanging up, I heard the receptionist ask what I assume to be a person training her if there was anything else she needs to say. All she said was thank you, and we hung up. No mention of cost.
Going into this, I assumed that, if anything I would be paying less for just the dry style (like they offer at the other local blow dry bar). So I was BLOWN AWAY when the cost was nearly double what I would have paid for a blow out AND style. I washed and dried my own hair, and honestly the «updo» was probably the worst I’ve ever had. The stylist was nice enough, but fairly disinterested in being there.
I left a message the next morning for the owner to call me back, but I haven’t received a response. So rather than explain my unsatisfactory experience to them, I’m telling you. I only booked here in the first place because I couldn’t get into the other, preferred, and slightly better priced blow dry bar. I would recommend going there instead.

I went to Breeze for a blow out. I was assigned to Claudia who was very nice and experienced. She was attentive to the style I wanted and my time constraints. I will be going back to Breeze soon!

I’ve been twice and had a great experience both times. The first time Carly did my hair and makeup– both were awesome. She listened to what I wanted and it looked very glamorous — I got a ton of compliments. The next time, Toni did my hair and Hannah did my makeup. They were both so fun to chat with and did a great job. Toni gave my shoulder length hair beach waves. I am always concerned about looking like Shirley Temple but she gave me a very wavy, relaxed look. Hannah’s makeup stayed on all night at the wedding was attending. Very pleased all around.

Lisa B. is great, she has done my hair and makeup for several functions and I’m never disappointed. She is not only great with hair and makeup she also has a wonderful personality so sitting in her chair is always a treat!!!

My hair looked nice… Nothing Too Special!
They are big on pushing products, the entire visit.
Which I informed her, I would not be buying any products, until I had seen how my hair reacted.
I was totally turned off, when the first question was «Can I have you Credit Card number»? If you do not cancel with a 24 hour notice, or if I was late to the apt. «You will be charged». I felt like that was the main focus of the reservation.
The worst part was– I started vomiting the day before at 1pm… I had a 10am appointment, so I went anyway, so I did not get charged. Sorry, if your employees got sick. I think there should be some exceptions. Not a Fan!

I went to Breeze on a whim one day — I had a job interview that afternoon and just wanted a little confidence boost. I had driven by it tons of times and figured it was worth a shot.
First off, I love love love their online booking! I could say what I wanted (I got the basic $ 40 blowout) and what time I wanted to come in and their online scheduler gave me time slot options to choose from on the website. So easy.
The atmosphere is really fun, everyone said hi to me when I walked in. The place is decorated stylishly and had a bunch of fun music playing. It was actually a really great place to spend time to calm my nerves before the interview! My stylist was very friendly and did a great job blowing out my hair and taming all the cowlicks.
One thing I didn’t love: I use maybe one or two products when I blow dry and straighten my hair at home… I think my girl used at least four. And then tried to sell them all to me when I went to check out. My hair looked really good, but it felt stiff and looked oily the next morning because she put so much product in there. She was really pushing these products, and I wasn’t crazy enough about any of them to buy them.
I think I was in and out in about 60 mins. I went in the middle of the day on a weekday, so I’m guessing that is a slower time to visit. I purposely scheduled a blow out several hours before my interview, just in case. Based on other Unilocal reviews, I think that was the right thing to do. If you want to get your hair done by a certain time, give yourself an hour buffer or so, just in case. I was happy with my hair for the price, and I’d go back next time I had an event and didn’t want to deal with my hair.

I have long (past my elbows) thick curly hair that I do not have the patience or arm strength to straighten myself. I’m very picky about straight hair– no lumps, waves or wiggles so I don’t even attempt anymore now that there are blow dry bars in STL. I went to both Blown Away & Breeze each a half dozen times since they opened but I only go to Breeze now… their staff is much better.
yes, It is a little hectic in there if you go on a Saturday or upcoming holidays/​events are looming but I prefer a little action to awkwardly quiet. everyone there is friendly and does their best to stay punctual to apt times. it’s slightly hit/​miss depending who you get. I’ve had Tori and she is great– gives an extra good shampoo massage and is equally proficient styling. I would go to her again if I’m not able to get into my regular and personal favorite. I’ll call her «L. Whiteless» because selfishly I don’t want anyone to know about her and steal all the appointment times… but she is awesome and does makeup too.
2 knocks– the water pressure at this place is not great. you’d think they would have planned better for that. only the third bowl has good pressure so If you see it open try to steer your stylist to that one. Also, the elec outlets at the stations blow out. they don’t hold up to the electrical needs of all those dryers & irons. which I get –I trip my GFI outlet once a week but again, given the nature of their business you’d think they’d be amped up to the hilt. it just makes it seem a little less professional when they are unplugging/​replugging and searching for open outlets that don’t blow– which seem to be in the back of the drawers or some hard to reach place that they can’t easily access.
otherwise a great place and I would recommend to anyone. I think the people who gripe about their blow outs on here are the people who don’t know how to accurately express what they want. stylist yes, mind reader no. bring a picture, show examples. there is a difference between waves and curls– be articulate and you will be happy at Breeze!

Walked in to have my wife’s hair washed and dried (she broke her wrist and can not do it herself).
They were wonderful! Hanna could not have been nicer, sweeter, or more professional!
My three important items for success:
1. Quality
2. Value
3. Customer service
All were there… Good job!

I will never come back here. I went in to get my hair done for a wedding and am now rushing home to try and fix it myself. The stylist had NO CLUE what she was doing. I asked for big curly hair and it came out flat and slightly wavy. I have had my hair curled MANY times before so I know it can hold a curl, she just had no clue what to do and did not listen to what I wanted at all even after showing her a picture. I feel I wasted $ 40. I thought about asking someone else to fix it but I have no confidence in this place.

Had appointment during a wedding party. Checked in, they said OK Thanks! Almost like we werent even there. Waited without anyone talking to us then finally I asked someone. Again, no response until my person came up to me. I have been to other blow dry places and always get a scalp massage during the wash. Just a quick shampoo. No massage.
Blow dried fast and furious. Asked for slight tease at top but left looking like I was going out for halloween! Came home and fixed it but still doesnt look good.
My daughter was rushed thru and her hair looked like she did it at home nothing special. So disappointing. Never going back.

So here’s the scenario… I was going to a very important and formal event on a Saturday not knowing until the Tuesday of that week that I would really have to attend. No appointments were set up and I actually didn’t have a dress yet. I needed my hair and make up professionally done so I called lots of salons and blow dry bars to set up an appointment. Everybody was busy, extremely booked, and there didn’t seem to be a place where I could get both done at the same time. Breeze Blow Dry Bar came to my rescue as they squeezed me in with a morning appointment.
When I walked in I noticed right away that they were super jam packed with customers. There was a bridal party there and they were kind of all over the place, walking back and forth, talking loud etc which diminished my experience a little bit because it wasn’t as relaxing. I was offered a drink such as juice or coffee, no tea though, but there were lots of candy in the waiting area. Anyways, there were nice aesthetics in there, it seemed clean but maybe not as organized making it feel really small and cramped.
The services I got were a Dry Style for $ 30.00 and Full Face Makeup for $ 35.00. My stylist, Deb, was very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. She made sure to ask me questions about what I wanted and what I was comfortable with. There were no specific styles or pictures available to reference from so I just kind of had to go with the flow. She surpassed my expectations especially since I only gave little direction, that really showed me that she knew what she was doing. I had a really early appointment but my event wasn’t until nighttime, my hair and make up lasted throughout the night although I have to say that the curls weren’t as defined as I wanted them to be towards the end. Overall though, this is a good spot to get professional hair and make up done.

Service was slow– almost 90 minutes whereas at Blown Away I am in and out in about 45 – 50 minutes. This is an important consideration because blowdry bar clientele are, in my experience, busy working girls on a tight schedule.
As for the service, I guess I might return if I were in the area. My stylist was absolutely determined to sell me a product. Her agenda was both a turn off and an annoyance because the product she wanted me to buy left my hair wiry and dry at the ends. As a result, my blowout didn’t even last into the following day.
I am inclined to blame management and not the stylist. It must be a culture and I must also assume they don’t pay their stylists adequately which is why she was so pushy.

I love the blow dry bars in Dallas, so I Went on Unilocal to look for a place in St. Louis. Breeze came up and I read the reviews and made an appointment. I really like how you can go online and make your appointment. It was very quick and easy!
I got there a little early, thinking I will have to sit and wait, but the girl doing my hair was ready to go. The hair washing was great. It was nice and relaxing.
When describing what I wanted, which was a blowout, with a little wave to it, I’m not sure my girl really understood what I was looking for. She did used the round brush and blow dryer, but she used a curling iron in the end and I think we could have gotten a wave with just the brush. The curls were a little too much curl at first and I wanted to brush the waves out with my fingers. I’m not sure if she wanted me to do that, b/​c she did a great job with the curls, but I wanted it to be a more relaxed look.
The reason why i took one star off was that it kind of took a while. I want to say almost an hour and a half, but I guess i do have a lot of hair. Also, the waves fell out that night and 2 days later, I needed to wash my hair b/​c I felt like there was too much hair spray build up.
One thing that I love about the blow dry bar I go to in Dallas is that they have champagne/​wine or mimosas. That would be great to have that at Breeze!
Overall, it was a nice place and I will definitely be back!

This is THE best blow dry bar in St. Louis! I had my first blow out in Santa Monica… this bar rivals the one on Montana.
I’ve visited the «other» one, didn’t get great service… actually quite the opposite.
Tori is AMAZING!
