Alexandra Swisher is a rockstar. Always gives me the exact cut I want, and she’s wicked fast and offers an amazing value. Very affirming. Big ole fan. Been coming to her for maybe a year now with hopes of many more years to come.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I highly recommend James and the team at Mitchell James Salon. When I first moved to St. Louis, I tried six different salons trying to find the right fit — and thankfully, I was referred to James about six years ago. I’ve been grateful ever since.

James consistently keeps me looking current, takes the time to understand what works for me, and truly cares about doing great hair. He also has an entertaining personality, and I always look forward to coming back.

If you’re looking for someone talented, professional, and fun to spend time with, James is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend.

My first experience with Alexandra was great. She walked me through the entire process and I was very pleased with the results. If ur looking for a new stylist I highly recommend Alexandra.

Jams is so great. Has great expertise and guidance. His color and highlights allows me to go six weeks between appointments with his way of blending into my grey. I’m a big fan! Thank you James

James was so wonderful! This has been the best haircut experience I’ve ever had. I have curly hair and it can be difficult to find someone that helps you embrace your hair texture/ pattern. James, was so attentive and caring. I love his good energy and authenticity. I can tell he really cared about my experience. He explained everything that he visualized and thought would help give me the look I wanted. He is such a professional and his technique and education shows! So impressed with him. I appreciated his honesty and input so much that I pretty much said do whatever you think works and I loved it! Best decision ever to come here! Kimberly, was amazing too! Everyone was very nice. If I could give more stars, I would. 💯 Thank you James!!

I got my haircut with Alexandra here, she’s absolutely amazing. Not only did she listen to what I wanted, but she also explained everything she is doing and using. She’s very understanding and gave me a fantastic cut. I’ll definitely be returning to her!

Alexandra was great. I got an amazing hair cut today. I also have anxiety issues and dislike going to a salon in general, she was so kind and able to put me at ease. Will definitely return in the future.

I have a deep appreciation for James and the salon. Over the past weekend I came in as a very late walk-in. James and his associates were super gracious and penciled me in. Upon meeting James, his confidence flowed very well into his skill. I can honestly say he is a true master of his craft. He gave great insight and ideas for my hair. He showed concern and wass thoughtful in the process. Once again, James and his team are amazing and I will definitely go back again! (With an appointment this time 😁).

I can’t recommend Mindy enough she is truly amazing!! My cut/color turns out exactly how I hope each time and even better! Mindy is incredibly skilled and a joy to spend time with. I always leave feeling refreshed, confident, and looking forward to my next appointment. Highly recommend to anyone!!

My mother and I got the best haircuts today from Alexandra. She took our appointments yesterday for this morning (!!!) and gave me a drastic new cut, and I could not love it more 🩶 Not only is her talent top tier, she has the best vibes. So thoughtful, chill, and kind. I am moving here next year, and will absolutely be hanging onto her card for the future.

Also to note--- Alexandra is a curly girl. As a person with curly hair, this is game changing for me. Her knowledge in this makes a huge difference in the outcome of my hair--- in the best way.

Thank you so much for taking our appt at such short notice, Alexandra! We really appreciate you 💕

Alexandra made my dreams come true today. I wanted to take my time to write this review because you rarely get this experience in a salon. Alexandra made me feel very safe and heard the entire time I was there. She asked about my needs and expectations, and we had an amazing time talking the whole afternoon while she fixed the mess I had done on my hair for the past year. She cut and styled my curls in a way that will also allow me to wear my hair straightened when I want to. And she made me A REDHEAD, like what? She talked me through everything we were doing and that gave me a sense of security I really needed because I was very anxious about the process not actually working.
Not only did Alexandra ROCKED my world by making me look exactly how I wanted to look, she also pampered me and made me feel like I not only found a great hairstylist but also a new friend!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Alexandra! I saw her today and she did an amazing job on my cut and highlight. She took her time and was so much fun to be around. The salon’s also super private and comfortable. Thanks Alex! 🙂

James also delivers a fantastic haircut. I have thick, curly hair and have struggled to find a place that suits my needs Mitchell James Salon consistently provides high quality service and never falters from producing stellar haircuts. Thanks, James!

I went to James and he gave me a sweet body wave perm and used a real razar as well to cut my hair. Really love the super chill vibe and location. As a student they have evening hours which is very convenient.

James’ energy and talent is second to none! I get near daily compliments on my hair’s shape, cut, and color. I highly recommend James’ services. Bonus: he’s entertaining as heck! Quite the conversationalist.

There was a mixup with my appointment and they sat down and helped me find another hair salon to take my request for me. I’ve never seen another hair salon do something like this. Positive vibes and energy overall. They are just above and beyond I will definitely be making an appointment to come back here next time I need my hair done.

I'm lucky I landed at Mitchell James Salon after my hair stylist of 30 years retired. I was nervous but James is a great listener and experienced professional. I am very particular about my cut and color and he exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend James!

James took care to listen to me and then made suggestions I hadn't considered but that worked perfectly. As someone new to the area I was delighted to find this wonderful experience!

James took me in early to come cut my hair. He did a great job and cut it similar to the picture I showed him. He used many different tools that I had never seen before to shape and cut my hair Located in the center to STL, so it is very convenient. Definitely Would recommend him for a friend.

Jāms is such a vibe. I happened upon several great reviews and decided to take a leap of faith. I went for a perm, and left with a confidence boost, a mood reconstruction, education, and faith in humanity. Not only will I be back, I can’t wait until I do!

Christine Underwood

Very compassionate and knowledgeable staff. I went to this salon over the weekend due to a bad experience with coloring at another salon. They got me in the day of and James provided me with professional advice on what to do next to fix the issue and much needed reassurance. I was also provided with so much support by the caring staff who answered the phone and stylist Carmela who was patient with listening to my story and so empathetic and thoughtful. I am very thankful for them and highly recommend!

A complete salon. Nails facials and best of all hair care from color to product that is delightful. I highly recommend this company. I waited to review for one full year of services so this is a quality place to me.

James did an excellent job working with my daughter. When the result was good but not exactly right the first time, he offered to bring her back and do an adjustment to make it an excellent result. More important than the hair was the interaction. He was very thorough, talked through his thoughts, wanted her input and made it comfortable for her to talk with a professional without feeling nervous or self conscious. He was open to her thoughts and the whole interaction could have been intimidating as he is so good at his process but he made it so warm and fun!

02:47 09 Jan 24

Best haircut I have had. James is efficient and knowledgeable. He will walk you through how to take care of your hair and give cut suggestions. Great experience!

Amy is an amazing nail technician! I have been going to Amy for about 2 years now and I always trust her with my nails! She takes her time and does a thorough job. Highly recommend if you are in the Brentwood/Clayton area!

Mitchell James is a fantastic salon. James always takes his time to work with you and make recommendations on how to get your hair exactly like you like it. I really appreciate his expertise and knowledge and value the confidence that I will be able to leave the salon with great hair 100% of the time. Highly recommend and I will update with pictures soon.

I’ve been going to James for years. He is an expert at color and style. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The new location is smaller, but more intimate.

Cynthia Miller

20:03 12 Jun 23

I love this salon, and I look forward to my appointments here. James, my stylist, a master designer, is always very accommodating, on each and every visit. I am always very happy with my service when I leave. His new salon is smaller, but James and the other stylists, all have their own space, which makes it more intimate. More time and attention is spent with clients. Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Prices are fair and they may vary depending on each stylist experience.

Jams took great care of my hair after I colored it myself and needed to get the brassy tones out. He went out of his way and stayed late to help me. I am so happy with my new blonde hair. The new location is more peaceful and laid back.

I’ve been coming to James for years. Me and my mom both LOVE the way James does our blonde and I see James every time I’m back home from college. James is the absolute best and a great bonus he is the easiest person to talk to throughout the appointment!

James is by far the best in the business! His chic styles and cutting edge coloring never disappoint! James isn’t only a master of his craft, he has a heart of gold, gives back to our STL community, and donates abroad! You’re in for a real treat with this one- and he will ALWAYS leave you laughing. Enjoy!!!

I recently visited this amazing hair salon and I have nothing but great things to say about my experience. From start to finish, the staff made me feel welcomed and valued as a client.

The haircut was done with a straight razor and it was one of the best haircuts I've ever received. The precision and attention to detail was impressive, and I left the salon feeling like a new person. James took the time to understand my hair type and what I wanted, and he delivered exactly what I asked for.

In addition, I appreciated that the salon offered a range of hair color options, including conservative choices. I wanted to freshen up my look without making a drastic change, and the stylist suggested a beautiful, natural-looking hair color that suited me perfectly.

Overall, I highly recommend Mitchell James Salon. The staff is talented and attentive, and they truly care about their clients. I left feeling confident and happy with my new hairstyle, and I can't wait to go back for my next appointment. Five stars all around!
