About A Visual Impact Hair Studio, Crystal City/Festus, Missouri

A Visual Impact Hair Styling Stations

Hi! My name is Julie Russell, and I am the owner and operator of A Visual Impact Hair Studio.  We have 3 Experienced and Motivated Stylists at your service!

My Beauty Salon was born on October 2, 2001, in a tiny room in the back of a women’s only gym, "The Fitness Network." Nine months later, in June of 2002, I expanded the Salon and added another stylist. We moved and expanded the Salon in March of 2005, increasing our Stations to four; From March till June 2009 our Salon underwent a complete remodel after a devastating fire next door. I increased our stations to a total of 8 and a really nice break/classroom area for our stylists. We are so happy with the new clean and fresh look.

A Visual Impact is a Salon full of Seasoned Stylists holding over 60 years of combined service under their belts! We believe Beauty is an Art, We love our jobs, and are so blessed!

It can certainly be A Visual Impact when you get a new style, whether it be curls, color, or a new cut, thus A Visual Impact was born, and created taking Baby steps. Something that people do not know about the name of the Salon is: It was a Visual Impact on my husband that brought me to Crystal City. His sight was diminishing due to his Diabetes and so I felt the need to work closer to home. My husband Don passed away in April of 2005.

Our Salon is Open Tuesday thru Saturday. We start at 9AM and close when the last appointment is completely happy. When you call you will either speak to one of our staff, or our voicemail system, that will direct you to our main mailbox. Should you call during business hours and get our voicemail, it is more than likely because both of our phone lines were active when you called. Please leave a message or call back, whichever is more convenient for you.

We would like to take this opportunity to invite you into our Salon! Come by, meet us, have a cup of coffee, and ask any questions you may have. Our staff is trained to be exceptional listeners and are updated on the latest styles and trends for the whole family.
