David’s In Clayton

Great salon! Been going here for 3 years and everyone who’s cut my hair there has done a fantastic job.

Great staff. I’ve never had a bad cut from anyone there. Most definitely worth the price. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. David is great very nice but I get my hair cut by Anna, who is awesome.

David of David’s came on-​site to do the hair for a bridal party I was a member of recently. While normally a one-​off experience like this wouldn’t be enough for me to write a review, David did such an incredible job with each member of the bridal party, that he definitely merits a five star review.
While I’m not quite at «27 Dresses» status yet, this wasn’t my first bridal rodeo so to say. So, I’m used to a whole team of hair stylists showing up to do the bridal party hair, lugging with them endless sets of hot rollers, aerosol hairspray, the ability to do only one kind of updo that involves approximately 87,000 bobby pins, and, worst of all chatty cathy natures that essentially ensure that every bridesmaid takes longer than expected and everyone is running late.
David was the complete antithesis of everyone of my expectations above. He arrived exactly on time to our hotel suite, brought with him a few select tools, and set up shop in the corner. He was incredibly easy-​going, nice, and low key — exactly what a bridal party needs. However, best of all, he gave each members of the bridal party a totally beautiful hair style– and each one was unique. Instead of all being teased into the same bouffant-​y do, David delivered a soft romantic updo, beachy waves, a half-​up halfdown style with curls, a stunning side bun, a perfect blowout, and even trimmed the mother of the bride’s bangs so that they would lay just right. Each look was gorgeous and unique. And, even better, he somehow did this in warp speed — getting through five bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom, grandmother of the groom, and the bride in less than five hours, singlehandedly! He’s a miracle worker, I tell you.
Though he went fast, his work was truly impeccable. Even my sometimes curl averse hair stayed in its waves all the way through pictures, the ceremony, the reception and event into the next day. Though he finished a solid hour ahead of schedule, he stayed with us until we were ready to depart for the ceremony, pinning up last minute stray hairs and setting us with one final wave of hairspray. I can’t wait to see the pictures from this wedding, because I know our hair was flawless.

The best of the best in STL.
I absolutely love David. He is the nicest, most easy going guy, and so easy to talk to. He listens to what you want, and he does a beautiful job. I was in Paris this May getting a blow out, and even had the hair stylist compliment me on how nice my color is. I highly recommend him!

Can’t say enough good things about this place! I love Companion which is right down the street from David’s and that’s how I first saw it! I love my stylist and I know that the other stylists do great work as well; I’ve referred several friends here! I’ve gotten my nails done for holidays as well, and they always look great! Always happy when I leave!

I scheduled a bikini wax here while visiting my family in St. Louis. Suzette sat me down to «get to know» me before working, which at first was kinda cute, but as she left to let me change, I found myself saying out loud, «What a spaz!» Turns out I was right.
To put it bluntly, this was the worst waxing experience of my life after monthly waxes in San Diego for several years. While it had been awhile since my last one, it wasn’t the first time I’ve had that longer hair length, but no other time have I cried, cursed, and considered leaving in the middle (and no, I wasn’t PMS’ing). I felt like I needed to give her tips on application and removal.
She also was pretty insulting by commenting on my eyebrows multiple times saying, «I can fix this if you want» while waving her hand in my face, and exclaiming about my nether regions in ways I thought totally unprofessional. For $ 75, I expected to leave feeling better than when I walked in, and that wasn’t the case physically or emotionally.
Apparently haircuts are their forte, but I would avoid them like the plague for hair removal.

Lovely place. There is no aloofness in this salon, I wonder if the other reviewer was having a bad day. Nice, thorough pedicure. The people work there seem to do so because they want to and like it and that’s a simple recipe for success for any service oriented place.

First what I liked is their honesty. I have difficult to cut hair and always ask for someone who is experienced with my hair. The receptionist gave me a straight answer that the girl who was in was new and I should make an appointment with David. I did. David is a great stylist. Highly recommended.

I moved to St. Louis a year ago and have tried to find a new stylist. I tried this salon as from the outside it looked professional and it’s very close to where I work.
I thought to try a colorist first then if that goes well I’ll have a hair cut. The search continues and I still go to my stylist in Chicago! Other than the receptionist who was nice, everyone including my hairstylist didn’t even have the basics of customer service down. I get that the salon is in Clayton but honestly there is nothing special about it. Comes acros snobby. Laura the hairstylist I felt didn’t care whether the color was going further than my hairline… people KNOW you’ve just had your hair colored! Just not worth the money and I typically pay more than a $ 100 for my former hairstylist.

When I entered this place I immediately wanted to bolt, the staff are aloof although they make some attempt at acting like they’re on their game.
My shampoo almost made my head raw and no conditioner? Odd.
My stylist tried, she really did. But, the skill level just wasn’t there. It’s unfortunate that after spending $ 65 plus a 20% tip — yes it wasn’t worth it but she did try and it’s the right thing to do — this haircut was INSANELY overpriced. I have seen better skills at hair styling in supercuts.
They don’t even know how to give a professional blow-​out??? Wow. I hope I can find a better place in St. Louis, otherwise I won’t be cutting my hair again for another 2 years.
Ironically the price selection makes the 5 star $ mark called «Ultra-​high end» this place is anything but, but charges as if it is.

I love David’s in Clayton. All the employees are excellent at their jobs! Friendly, professional and caring. I love the fact that they support some of the local charities in town, too! I have been going there since we moved to Clayton in 2000 and Stephanie is wonderful!

I’ve had the same hairdresser for 8 years in Chicago, so it was a big leap for me to try someone new. I actually felt like I was cheating, but it’s ridiculous to make the trip to Chicago every time I need a haircut, and I was dying for a long shag, you know, like Karen from Californication? Love her hair! My hair is difficult to work with — it’s curly — so I can’t just go to any stylist. I need a stylist who REALLY understands hair.
David’s is just a few blocks from my house, and I’m a gal who is all about convenience. What finally gave me the courage to make an appointment was FB of all things! A guy I knew from childhood friended me, and it turns out he’s a stylist at David’s. Seemed meant to be, although I still felt guilty. I emailed my Chicago stylist to let him know I was seeing someone else :-)
First impression — everyone was super friendly! I was greeted by a very sweet gal, offered a beverage, and then Drew (my stylist) took me to his station to discuss my hair. His consult was very thorough which made me feel at ease. I only booked time for a cut and style, but when I expressed my dissatisfaction with the scattered grays I can’t seem to pull out fast enough (oh the joys of turning 30!), he checked his books and made time for a quick color treatment. He didn’t use the photo I sent, just cut from memory, and my hair is amazing! I am totally in love with the cut. Even my boyfriend noticed the change, and ladies, you know that’s a huge deal! Drew is my new stylist. No question. I highly recommend him. He’s fun, professional, and incredibly talented. Oh, and the scalp massage during my wash was incredible.
Final verdict — fun environment, incredibly friendly staff, and Drew is the best!
