Tangles & Curls

Tangles & Curls is a woman-owned hair salon in Kirkwood, St. Louis, and has been serving the neighborhood since 1993. The salon describes itself as a home for curls, color, kids' cuts and bridal styling.

The salon is built around independent stylists. Each one rents a station and sets their own menu, prices and schedule, so clients book directly with the stylist they want through that stylist's own booking page. The shop sells products the stylists have chosen themselves. The Pink Suite is an open-floor station rental for independent stylists, educators and event hosts, with rates that vary by station and schedule. BizBlock lists the salon as open Tuesday through Thursday from 9am to 9pm and Friday and Saturday from 9am to 4pm, closed Sunday and Monday, but hours vary by stylist and appointments are recommended. To check availability or find a stylist, clients can text 314-420-HAIR, and texting is preferred.

Services range from dry-cut and wet-cut curly shaping, tailored to each curl pattern, to children's haircuts for all ages, including first haircuts. Treatments and styling include deep conditioning, curl refreshes and blowouts. Color and lightening, perming and de-matting are also offered, along with bridal and special-occasion styling for events such as weddings, proms and holiday parties.

Curly cuts are shaped to each person's curl pattern, using both dry-cut and wet-cut methods.
