Very personable and friendly. This is the best my hair has ever looked!!!!Martha Mayse DietemanMartha Mayse Dieteman ★★★★★ 10/10 experience. David was able to squeeze my mom in for a last minute consult, cut, and style. Might seem superficial but a good hair cut and style can make all the difference in how someone feels about themselves and David made sure my mom walked out feeling so much better than when she walked in.Bonus: Local small business so you know you are supporting the community.Poonam SheevamPoonam Sheevam ★★★★★ Lauren and I have been working for a few years to get some length in my hair. Her advice has been so valuable. Today she did a trim and shapeup of the layers...my hair is really healthy and has grown like crazy since we've been working on it. She's also been doing hi lights ..and they look great too. Lauren is the best.Debi LynDebi Lyn ★★★★★ Exceptional salon with exceptional people! Melanie is my girl! I’ve known her for over 10 years and she has joined the team!Matt MercerMatt Mercer ★★★★★ David is fantastic!

Highly recommend this salon - treat yourself to top notch talent and off the chain service.K KrajcovicK Krajcovic ★★★★★ David is a great stylist...highly recommend this place!Brigette Bailey-RydenBrigette Bailey-Ryden ★★★★★ I absolutely loved my experience at Vakkar Salon. I moved from Florida and was looking for a new stylist/colorist. I'm not an easy girl to please when it comes to my hair. After researching and reading reviews I decided to give Vakkar Salon a try. Boy! did I hit the jackpot! David is extremely talented! He was insightful, understanding and patient when discussing where my hair has been and what direction we would be going for the haircut and color. He really took his time to familiarize himself with my hair and explained everything while he was working on my hair. I left this Salon extremely happy. Everyone at the salon were super friendly and made me feel very welcome. If your looking for a top notch, highly professional salon believe me this is the one!!!Connie KellyConnie Kelly ★★★★★ The BEST salon in St. Louis! Lauren is incredibly talented.. color, cut, conditioning, understanding and explaining texture of hair. She is a true professional. The Davines product line they use is absolutely amazing and helped my hair get healthy and shiny.M. RumpingM. Rumping ★★★★★ I am so pleased with the knowledge and experience of the stylists at Vakkar Salon. David cut and styled my hair in a way so that it looks naturally designed every day with great versatility. He educated me on how to style my hair daily and what products to use and how to use them. This is the best and most professional cut I have ever had. I love my hair now!Annie BAnnie B ★★★★★ Friendly and very knowledgeable. You can't go wrong with anyone there.Lisa RaymondLisa Raymond ★★★★★ I’ve been going to David for over 5 years after a lot of searching for the right salon. The quality and attention to detail is unmatched in St. Louis. I love that it only takes me five minutes to style my hair now since he cuts the hair to lay perfectly.Lynette PLynette P ★★★★★ Claudia is everything I look for in a hairdresser. I moved to St Louis in the last couple of years and haven’t found anyone who could color and cut my hair properly. Claudia immediately recognizedthat my last color and cut needed to grow out first before she could correct my hair. . She did an outstanding consult then and was very open to all my feedback. My search is finally over. Also, everyone in the shop was friendly and nice!NBDNBD ★★★★★ K LoK Lo ★★★★★ I had a wonderful experience with David at Vakkar. I have curly hair, and he cut it so I could wear it straight as well. He managed the near miraculous task of cutting my bangs in a way that I can style them at home to look almost as good as they did when I left the shop. He was incredibly thorough, and I felt he really listened to what I wanted and the level of daily styling I was willing to do for my hair, which is not much. If I air dry it curly or blow dry it straight, it looks great!Cathy TowlCathy Towl ★★★★★ Kristen BryantKristen Bryant ★★★★★ I have posted before but will again - David and his team are the best in town. Perfect color and precision cut. Highly recommend. Comparable to Vidal Sassoon.Laura FrerichsLaura Frerichs ★★★★★ Consistent high quality service. Color work is fantastic, and transitions to gray completely supported. I always feel my hair looks its best when I leave the salon.Amy FriedmanAmy Friedman ★★★★★ Talented staff, friendly environment and intimate setting. I will never go anywhere else!Julie AlversonJulie Alverson ★★★★★ Great experience as a new client. Highly recommend.K WK W ★★★★★ Incredible service and outstanding haircutTitanium FitnessTitanium Fitness ★★★★★ Linda NealLinda Neal ★★★★★ John Austin (Becky)John Austin (Becky) ★★★★★ The best hair salon in St. Louis they’re very professional, kind and hard working they saw me last second when no one else would definitely check them out my hair has never looked better!!Mm VegaMm Vega ★★★★★ Excellent salon!

I wouldn’t go anywhere elseElana HackerElana Hacker ★★★★★ Unreal and experiencedVeronica KirnVeronica Kirn ★★★★★ Kelly ZhouKelly Zhou ★★★★★ Omar QuadriOmar Quadri ★★★★★ Great staff. Great haircut from Gary.Langston FamilyLangston Family ★★★★★ Great experience at Vakkar Salon! Lauren was so gentle and personable. She was meticulous with her work and did a fantastic job with my keratin treatment!MernaMerna ★★★★★ Stephanie RossStephanie Ross ★★★★★ OMG!!! I LOVE MY HAIRCUT!!Tanya KranzuschTanya Kranzusch ★★★☆☆ phyllis Piggphyllis Pigg ★★★★★ I moved here from San Diego in 2020 and didn't think I'd find a colorist in St. Louis who could compare to my stylist back home.I'm naturally dark blonde and have gotten balayage for years, which is really hard to have done well, in my opinion. You find someone and you stick to them, y'all blondes out there know what I mean?! I was genuinely booking my trips to see my friends back in San Diego...AND MY STYLIST.I found Vakkar because they sell Davines products - my favorite! I got to talking with the front desk person, then with one of the stylists, David, and everyone was beyond kind and helpful. I continued to pick up my shampoo and conditioner at Vakkar for months, always greeted by smiles and warm chats, even though I'd never booked a service there.I ended up talking to David Johnston about my color, and how I was worried about trying anyone new. He sounded confident in his ability to get my hair exactly where I wanted, and gave me up front pricing. I decided to risk it.David Johnston is hands-down one of the most talented colorists I've been to. I'm no longer flying to San Diego to go to my old stylist. Cut, color, genuinely positive and kind human connection is here in St. Louis for me now at Vakkar.Blondes, go NO WHERE ELSE! My standards are high for foliage/balayage and cut. David Johnston went beyond.I need to add a photo, but I'm just bad at taking photos so I'll get back to it.Gina MathisGina Mathis ★★★★★ A Neat boutique salon with skilled professionals and a owner who really knows his coloring techniques. David is great with styling and haircut as well. Prices are nominal and booking appointments can be done online. Good website as well.VidyaVidya ★☆☆☆☆ Becareful some stylists here do what they want not what you want. I think her name was Cynthia that did my hair It will cost me damage and 100s of dollars to undo what she did.SMART NESSSMART NESS ★★★★★ Mayra GuzmanMayra Guzman ★★★★★ Love this place ❤. If your looking for a new place to go this is it. Sarah Jean is awesome she makes sure your happy all the way thro the service, professional and beautiful. And David is awesome hes on the floor making sure everyone is doing ok and checks in on you. The atmosphere is amazing warming and welcoming. Hands down the best place to go too.S ES E ★★★★★ Thank you, thank you, thank you David and your staff for creating my desperately new style. I absolutely love the new look. David really took his time to get to know me and my expectations. My hair situation is difficult and David's talents created a perfect solution.Janet PrayJanet Pray ★★★★★ David Johnston is masterful as a colorist in latest techniques and the team is first in class in professionalism. Highly recommend.RebeccaRebecca ★★★★★ robbie wrightrobbie wright ★★★★★ David NDavid N ★★★★★ Everyone made you feel welcome beautiful salon very professional highly recommend.Chris GoodChris Goodjs_loader
