Dow Jones Description

Friends originated in February of 1981, in the lower level of a medical building, on North New Ballas Road in Creve Coeur. After much success and an ever increasing staff, Friends relocated just a half mile north to its current location, 664 North New Ballas Road. Friends' educationally focused staff sets us apart from other salons. We attend yearly international trade shows in Chicago, St. Louis, Kentucky as well as the International HairColor Exchange. We consistently keep up with the most current trends, styling techniques, and technologies available in the fashion industry. Staff unable to attend, join us at the salon for a follow-up training session while others revisit what they have learned. At Friends, it's more than just our education. Educating our clients develops the trust, communication, and partnership we believe contributes to our ability to meet your needs. At Friends, education is our life blood. Friends' takes pride in our "friendly" team. Through mutual respect and equitable training programs, we surpass others salons by providing more individual attention to our clients. New hairstylists and body therapist train under Jim and Mary, respectively, for six months to one years. During that time, new staff work closely with Jim and Mary as they learn and practice the fine points of their craft on friends and family. Education continues every Tuesday with problem solving, working on equations, and model work as needed.
