Beauty Is Ke
Hair salon in Saint Louis, MO
Beauty Is Ke is located downtown at 1321 Washington Ave in Saint Louis. A beauty supply store sits next door, which is handy for clients who want to pick up their own hair before an appointment. Parking downtown may cost extra, and clients who pay at a meter for an appointment of five hours or more receive a $10 discount on the hairstyle service. The salon's menu is built around braiding, with a long list of styles from simple feed-ins to multi-hour installs. Freestyle feed-ins cover patterns beyond straight-back, such as swirls, cross-crosses and zig-zags. Knotless braids are offered in sizes from smedium to jumbo, and small knotless braids are not on the menu. Kids have their own menu for ages 7 to 10, and clients 11 and older are priced as adults. Beyond braids, the salon offers blowouts, shampoo and blowout appointments, silk presses that include shampoo, conditioning, blowout, silk straightening and a trim, and sew-in installs. The portfolio shows freestyle feed-ins, cornrows, ponytails, knotless and Bohemian braids, locs, kids styles and silk presses. Booking requires a $25 deposit paid through Cash App, which is deducted from the total. Deposits are nonrefundable, and a booking without payment is not confirmed. Cancelled appointments carry a 30% fee. Clients arrive with freshly shampooed hair that has no products in it, except silk press clients, since shampoo is part of that service. If hair is not already blow-dried and detangled, a blowout must be added when booking. Bank cards are taken to hold reservations, and Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000 with approval before the appointment.
