Two stylists, one vision, since 2009.
Charles and Nicole Gillick built EssereBlu on a shared love of hair and a simple idea: a salon you actually want to belong to.
Italian-rooted craft. New York energy. St. Louis home.

Not a chair.
A world.
EssereBlu [éss-eh-reh bloo] — formerly Blu A Color Salon — is six thousand square feet of birch, charcoal, and electric blue just outside the city.
We started in color. We grew into extensions, HeadSpa, a FaceSpace, an academy, and a caffé you won't want to leave. Refined, but never stuffy. The kind of place you come to be a part of something.
FlagshipThe HeadSpa.
The HeadSpa.
Four beds. Total surrender.
A deep cleanse for the scalp. A restoration for the hair. The trend everyone's chasing, with four dedicated beds and the time to do it right.
First in the United StatesThe FaceSpace.
The FaceSpace.
Skincare, reimagined.
Not a private room. Not a facial bed. An interactive facial chair — a Davines and Comfort Zone concept tested in the UK, now here. We're the first salon in the U.S. to have one.
essere CAFFÉ
Stay a while.
A full-time barista. Specialty coffee. A beautiful caffé in the middle of it all. Beer and wine to come, once the permit clears.
Because the best part of a salon is the part you don't want to leave.

What people say.
From the minute I stepped inside, every single person I interacted with was so kind and welcoming. I felt more calm and relaxed immediately… I honestly did not want to leave.
The stylists all seem so happy and they work like a team, which is unique and refreshing from a client's perspective.
From the scalp massage during my shampoo — with the phenomenal weighted blanket — the delicious vanilla latte, and everyone being so friendly, I walked out calm and feeling beautiful.
They really have done a great job with attention to the tiniest of details to produce a great experience.
Just got a curly cut with Brittany and I always leave loving my hair! I'd recommend her if you're a curly girl looking for a curly stylist.
Timm is the best! He is so meticulous and strives for perfection! He truly is an asset to the EssereBlu team.
The new space is amazing, and the entire experience from beginning to end makes you feel like a movie star!
