Philip Johnson Salon/Spa opened in 1992 in the Central West End, founded by Philip Shipman and Bonita Johnson. Spa services were added in 1996 when the space doubled in size, the salon expanded again in 2007, and it changed to new ownership in July 2021. It uses Aveda products, which it says align with Aveda's ethical and sustainable business practices, and it uses GlyMed+ products for all of its skin care.
The salon describes its mission as giving every guest an experience that goes beyond expectations through individual attention, ongoing staff education and giving back to the community. It says it works with local St. Louis organizations and runs its own sustainability efforts. Its stated vision is a welcoming, diverse workplace that values individuality and supports team members in growing and in their personal lives and goals.
The salon says it has won the Salon Today Top 200 Award eight times, most recently in 2025, and that St. Louis Magazine named it a 2026 Best Hair Salon finalist. It also calls itself one of the top salons in St. Louis and the country.
Every haircut includes a consultation, a shampoo and a blow-dry or styling. Guests who have never had a color service at the salon need a consultation before booking color. A digital color consultation is free when guests text photos of their current hair to 314-361-8003, and a stand-alone in-salon consultation costs $25, which is deducted from the color total or waived when booked with a haircut. Prices for haircuts, barbering, color, styling and treatments reflect a Level 1 stylist and rise with stylist level, and a stylist's level is not tied to years of experience.
Booking requires a credit or debit card. Appointments are confirmed at least 48 hours ahead. Changes or cancellations made 24 hours or more in advance carry no fee, cancellations on shorter notice are charged 50 percent of the service total, and no-shows are charged in full. Injectable appointments require a $50 deposit that is applied to the service if treatment goes ahead. Gratuities are not included in prices. Children under 16 must have a parent or guardian present for any spa service. The salon is open Tuesday through Thursday 9am to 9pm, Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 5pm, and is closed Sunday and Monday.
The salon uses a level system for stylists, with promotions based on guest satisfaction, guest retention, performance and education. Injectable and wellness shot plans are set during a consultation in which the provider talks through goals and concerns.
