Mitch STL

Can’t say enough great things about this place. Went for the first time today and will definitely be going back. I’d been going to hair saloon for men before this and the level of service and detail I got at Mitch STL was so much better. The hot towel on the face while you get shampooed is a nice touch as well. Walked out with the best haircut I’ve gotten in years.

This place is awesome. Everyone is very friendly and it is reasonably priced. Shannon is fantastic. He is great at listening to what you want and adding his own style to make the cut look great. I highly recommend Mitch STL for your next haircut.

I’ve been here twice, and saw a different stylist each time. Today, I saw Matt, who was excellent. Moving to St. Louis a year ago, I had tried four different salons: Notch, Cutters and Co., Nova Salon, and Mitch STL. I can safely say that Mitch is at the top of this list. The best prices, exceedingly friendly, and most-​importantly, they do a great fade.

Had a great cut with Matt. I called in the morning and was able to get in same afternoon. It’s sometimes hard to communicate what’s in your head to stylists and he nailed it.
I don’t often write reviews but it’s rare to find a shop in STL that isn’t a terrible butchering for 15 bucks or overpriced hipster experience at 40. Mitch hits a sweet spot and I’m happy to send others their way.

I just moved to St. Louis and had to get a new haircut to look sharp for business school. It’s really hard for me too switch barbers — I’ve only really had 2 or 3 my entire life — so pickling a new one was crucial. Thank god the Unilocal reviews led me here! Shannon (the owner) gave me an amazing cut and was super friendly and nice to talk to, telling me about the city and where to go. Looks like I’ve found a barber for as long as I’m here. Very professional, talented, clean and inexpensive!

Great service, Karen was able to squeeze me in. She listened to me and attended to every detail. Nice environment for a guy’s cut. I’ll be back!

I called looking for a last minute appointment, but wasn’t really expecting success. To my surprise, they were extremely accommodating and fit me in on the same day.
When I arrived, I was greeted by both owners — who were extremely friendly — and Matt, my stylist. He did a phenomenal job and was a pleasure to talk with. I’ll definitely be coming back!

SOLD! I’ve been bouncing around between ”$ 10 friday special!” and hoity-​toity $ 59 fancy pants salons for the better part of two years. One day whilst driving and Unilocaling (kids do not attempt in your own vehicles unless it’s an armored military vehicle. Still don’t it actually, I might be on the road) … Anyway there I am in need of a fresh cut, avoiding mirrors at all cost and searching nearby by my homebase in CWE when I saw this place. 5 stars. Really? Seems suspicious. Reading reviews … Seems legit. Plus, I’ve been using Mitch Reformer paste for years (amazing product for baby thin hair btw) and this is a place that sells only Mitch. I hit the ol’ ‘call this business’ button and before I can get cold feet and turn back Shannon (the dude co-​owner who left the Paul Mitchell school in CWE with his trusty sidekick to start the salon) answers and fits me in the next day. Based on the reviews I read about this guy I figured there was no chance he was taking new clients. I figured wrong. As usual. I walked into this cool little space in the Grove and was immedialty welcomed by Shannon and his partner. We sat down in front of the big salon mirror and started discussing strategy. To be honest my hairline isn’t what it was when I was younger lad but as Shannon said there’s still plenty there to do all kinds of hip styles. He even offered just doing a free consultation that day if I wanted to let it grow some more before he applied his artistry to it. No way Jose — I said. Let’s see what ya got. WOW! Best cut I’ve had in a decade if not ever. We have a long-​term plan and he cleaned it up to make me look extremely presentable right now. He blended the sides and the top so it looks like I have never lost so much as one hair in my life. We had great banter and then he treated me to a hot towel face thingy (I ain’t real cultured) and a non-​abrasive shampoo before showing me how to use the products I already own. At no point trying to upsell me on products that I don’t have! Who is this guy?! When I asked him how much he would sell me the product I normally buy it was less than half of what I’ve been paying. A man’s cut is $ 25 but of course to complete the fairytale he insisted on only charging me 20 because the cut did not take that long. (I was there for like 40 mins, that’s no quickie in my book).
I don’t go throwing a lot of five stars around but if there were 10 I’d give 11 to this place. Guys or girls are welcome but Shannon definitely specializes in guys.
I can’t wait to go back and once again my biggest crush at the moment is my mirror. THANK YOU SHANNON AND MITCH for restoring my narcissistic vanity!

I really felt like I was paid attention to and got my money’s worth for a salon haircut. Although I did have to keep track of what the stylist was doing to make sure that he kept enough length, it was easy to communicate what I wanted and have it turn out great! $ 25 for a detail-​oriented cut, shampoo, and double conditioner (with hot towel, of course!)
It’s an independently owned Paul Mitchell chain though, so don’t expect any other products other than Paul Mitchell. Did I mention the booze? There’s booze.

Shannon did such a great job on my haircut. Totally made it my own and the service was outstanding.

Have been here several times-​always friendly, with attention to detail, personal touches (complimentary drinks, too!), and never the feeling that they are in a hurry to get me out so the next person can start. Everyone I’ve had has been good, but I especially like Karen. Head over to Gramophone for a delicious sandwich while in the neighborhood, or next door to Rise Coffee!

Shannon is great and constantly changing up your look while maintaining a classic look. The products he uses are all top notch and the hot facial towel at the end is the best. I highly recommended for anyone looking for a modern affordable salon!!!

It is hard to find a good place to get a haircut for men. So when I found this place I was excited. I gave it a try and didn’t like the end product. But I gave it another try hoping it will be better but no. I definitely don’t think the haircut was worth $ 25. I would rather go to V Vegas for better service and haircut at the same price.

I have been living in St. Louis for over 8 years, and this is BY FAR the best place to get a quality haircut. The staff is super friendly, the studio is modern and uncluttered, the haircuts are fairly priced (I have happily paid more for less at other places — though not anymore!) and the salon is for men (so know terrible chemical, hair-​dye/​perm smells).
I get my hair cut by Shannon, the owner — he knows hair and heads inside out, and it shows in the results. Unfortunately for the salon, the haircuts are so good that they last way longer than the norm — so I’ll see them again in two months.
I’ll continue to recommend the salon to all my friends. Keep it up!

I have been shopping around for a stylist for about a year now. Well, I had my first appointment with Shannon today and I think I found my guy! He gave me a great cut… using a variety of scissors and fancy cutting tools to perfect my style. He even worked extra hard trying to tame my pesky cowlick. Shannon teaches men’s cuts at the Paul Mitchell school and his experience shows. The tea tree towel facial was amazing! The salon is very conveniently located in the heart of the Grove. I will definitely be going back!

Mitch rules. The people who run this place really care about their business and it shows. The hospitality is top-​notch from the moment you walk in. The haircuts are great, they know how to cut men’s hair and are always willing to offer up new ideas and suggestions. Makes me look forward to getting a haircut! Give them a try.

Mitch offers a really casual, yet modern and sophisticated environment for guys who want to transcend the chain haircut joints in the St. Louis area. When you book an appointment here, not only do you get a great haircut, you get a stylist who is not just knowledgeable of the latest trends, but is also personable and relatable so that you get the exact cut that you want. Each time you make an appointment or just drop in, you are treated like an actual customer, not just another scalp on the assembly line. I get my hair cut by Karen, and she does a kick ass job, but the other stylists are all on the same «All-​star» caliber too.
The location of the salon is pretty cool too. It’s right across from the Ready Room, a record store, a cool little coffee shop, and pretty much every type of restaurant you can imagine.
TL;DR
Come to Mitch if you are looking to take your hairstyle to the next level.

Love this place. I got my hair cut from Shannon who is amazing. He gave a nice clean cut that looked simple and complex at the same time. Shannon was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He definitely took his time with the cut and was invested as if it was his own hair. There was no get in, pay, get out mentality. At the $ 25 price, this place is unbeatable in service and quality. I would not hesitate to come back again or even recommend this place to my friends.
I also came back after a few days as I needed more product. I’ve never used the Mitch Line, but Shannon was super awesome and recommended a few products that we used previously. He then took his time, explained how to use the product to style my hair the way I wanted and used it in my hair to make sure it was actually what I wanted. They’ve just beyond hospitable. You won’t regret coming in.

My partner and I discovered Mitch on Facebook and decided to check it out. First of all, the salon is super chic and a very relaxed environment. Shannon and his staff are amazing. The make you feel right at home. Add to that the awesome haircuts and the tea tree hot towel. It’s a great experience and we haven’t got our haircut anywhere else since. I definitely recommend you check it out.

You’ve set down to write this after one month. Sidelong glances to mirrors reveal a ‘do past its given state.
You recall the cut. You walked in. It was courteous, met well with gestures kind and open to interpretation. You’ve never had a finer time. Greeted at the door, every accommodation met. The gossip flew from tongues well-​versed in matters of which you are concerned. Art, music, entertainment, as we are now. Nothing scandalous. Nothing rude. Everything you needed.
You’re looking toward another mirror now. Thoughts of return. Thoughts you might fly for the cut.
But you live on the west coast. And the best cut you’ve had is in St. Louis.
The best cut you’ve had.
