About

Illusions Color Spa has operated in St. Louis since its doors first opened in May 1995. It works as a hair salon and as a spa for facials and skin care. The salon describes itself as a leader in hair color and balayage in the city, and as a leader in luxury hair extensions, noting that few local salons have installed extensions for 30 years.

Hair color ranges from toner and color touch-ups through single process color, partial and full highlights, balayage, corrective color and fashion tones. Pricing depends on the stylist's level, the look you want, and hair length and thickness. Fashion tones and corrective color are priced after a consultation. Every color appointment includes a blow-dry and style. Professional color work also covers custom all-over color, blonding, color correction, and glossing and toning treatments.

Extension options include hand-tied weft for fine to medium hair, Genius weft, which is ultra-thin and seamless, and machine weft for fuller looks on thicker hair. Cold fusion uses individually bonded strands, tape-ins offer a low-profile option with a quick install, and tape rows arrange tape-ins in a row format.

Facials are built around skin type and goals. The Signature Facial includes a cleanse, skin analysis, exfoliation, a mask, massage, hydration and sunscreen, and the Signature Plus adds a customized chemical peel to that service. A back facial, an express facial, and standalone chemical peels of about 30 minutes are also offered. Facials and peels use Glo Skin Beauty products, which the salon says are vegan, PETA-approved and cruelty-free. Estheticians can suggest a routine to use between visits, and monthly facials are suggested for the best long-term results.

Bridal and special occasion services include styling, shampoo and blowout, makeup, lash application and bridal packages. Bridal party bookings require a deposit, and bridal pricing varies by stylist and can change after a free consultation. Off-site services carry a $50 travel fee per stylist. The salon also runs a Salon Associate Program for stylists graduating from school who are starting to build a clientele, and associates work without contracts.

Every extension service starts with a consultation to choose a suitable method, and facials are customized to each client's skin type and goals.
