Life ruiner....Came here 3x in sept 2018 and spent around $2000, 650 each visit. The first two times went well. I told my colorist Melinda my hair is very fragile and to be VERY careful with it and that I have been fried in the past and to keep this in mind to please be extra careful with bleaching me. The third time she obviously forgot about that since the other times my hair didn't fall out and let her assistant watch me as my hair lifted. And once I got home about a quarter of all my hair had broken off at the root. I had half inch sprigs of broken hair sticking straight up all over my head, I had to get men's hair gel for them to stay down. Never even contacted the salon or my stylist at the time because I was just so heartbroken and just couldn't even bring myself to talk to them I had such emotional pain about the situation. After about 3 months I would say my hair continued to break off to about half or less of what i had. The picture I've posted is about 8inches of outgrowth (about bob length) from what they have done to me as you can see my ends are almost non existent but I still can't bring myself to cut it off part of me still wants to pretend I have my old hair by keeping it long.... I will remember this for another three or four years while my hair is coming back. I wish I could sue to be honest but I guess yelp is all I can do. Just don't want this to happen to someone else who thinks because they read a salon is "one of the best" they are safe. You are not read more

Andy Lecompte Salon - Before - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

oh my god! I love this place. I am never ever ever leaving Liz & Derek! They are the most talented, friendly hair dressers I have ever encountered. I went in with damaged, brassy and limp hair that just looked hopeless... and came out with the most gorgeous hair that I did not know that my dna was capable of! I am ridiculously picky when it comes to hair salons and Andy Lecompte was worth every penny! ok, I am going back to staring at my hair... read more

This is not a SuperCuts. This is a professional hairsalon with stylists and colorists. They are clean, the atmosphere is stylish and you get what you pay for. Cuts start at $200. But its worth every penny. They take the time to get exactly what you want from a haircut. Also you understand what you should do to maintain the style. I left very happy and it was also a BiG FIX from an original haircut elsewhere. Highly recommend Mischelle for a perfect SHORT haircut. She gets it and is very personable... Thanks Andy LeCompte Salon and Mischelle for excellent service. read more

If you're looking for someone to do your color, please go to Bianca! I've been with her for a few years and I can't begin to tell you how much I love seeing her. She's extremely talented and always executes her color well. Her attention to detail is so amazing, she really listens and caters to you. She's also the sweetest little thing ever. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I firmly believe that most of the good reviews for this salon are shills. Their so-called "top" people like Steven and Derek (I've had highlights from both) and if you look at the reviews for others- like George, are subpar entitled robots who plaster the same tired grandma foils on everyone, regardless of how clearly and detailedly you try to explain that you specifically don't want that dated technique. They will ruin your hair. No thought into the work what so ever, one-is-good-for-all while they gossip with their assistants about the most brain deadening things. Derek flat out lied to me during the consultation and service- I wanted balayage, just a few naturally connecting blonde pieces. Not a head full of stripey, parallel, super dry grandma foils. I hope KARMA catches up with these people. And what about the rampant culture of CLIENT INTIMIDATION these people practice? Has it happened to you where you're in the chair and try to say that this is not what you discussed or what you wanted, only to be thwarted vigorously by both stylist and assistant that yes it is what you want? I am the client. I am paying you. Don't lie about something I'm going to have to live with every day. read more

I've been seeing Bianca for my color over a year now. I have never been so happy with my results until I met her. One of the best colorists in town... and trust me, I've seen a bunch. Since I've been seeing her my hair has gotten so healthy & long. Highly recommend her!!! read more

Bianca Hillier has been coloring my hair for years and she makes my hair look as if I have those perfect baby highlights that children get when they play in the sun all summer, basically hair goals. She's a magician and has the loveliest energy! Would recommend her to family, friends and strangers! read more

Glenn Ellis is amazing as a stylist! I went in last week to have him cut and style my hair. I told him what I wanted to do with my hair and he knew exactly what to do!! Everyone has been saying how great it looks all because of Glenn! If you need to get your hair done or want a change, make sure you see Glenn! They give free drinks as well (iced coffee is to die for!) parking is pretty easy too. Thank you Glenn! I will be back soon read more

This is my update to the salon. The manager has reached out to me to remove my yelp review and offered free color, but i told him i would like to get fair price. He said he will get back to me and never did. As days go by, my hair is looking brassier, and just so damn ugly. Its making my complextion darker and just so ugly. Now, i have to go to another salon to get it fixed for another like $500 or $600. What a waste !!!!!! The worst decision i have ever made in my life going there! Dont go there !!! read more

Melinda rocks for color - I went from natural red to a pastel rose gold ombré that people are dying over. I get multiple compliments a day on how gorgeous my hair is. Was in the chair for a long time, but Melinda & her assistant are both fun to spend time with. My hair was perfection for the VMA's the next day. I thought the salon might be a little more stuffy or showy because of the higher end prices, but it's really not. Mellow environment in a cute, somewhat tucked away space. Finding metered parking in this area is kind of a drag, but they go fill your meter for you. read more

Andy Lecompte Salon - Rose gold ombré by Melinda - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A very lovely salon. I had a regular hair stylist there. But one day, he came in to the salon and behaved unprofessionally and made me feel that I done something to make him mad. He didn't speak to me and when he did, it was gruff and condescending. He barked out orders - "look down!" " close your eyes!" without even referring to me by my name. I'm a pretty tough person, and I'm also reasonable. If he was having a bad day, he could've said something to me that day instead of making me sit there for the entire duration feeling his wrath. For the amount of money I had to pay for a cut and style, I didn't expect behavior like this. I sometimes wonder if the wealthier clients got the same behavior that day. I've now relocated to another salon and am very happy. I hope that this salon will pay closer attention to the stylists' behaviors - but should they have to? I mean, every one is an adult - or at least that's what one would think. read more

I went in to see Glenn a couple months ago and he is a.m.a.z.i.n.g! First of all, he offered me a frappe (frozen iced coffee) which was delicious by the way, and asked me what I wanted to do with my hair. I showed him a picture and he took it from there! He did such an amazing job and was so thorough about his work. He made sure I was satisfied! If you want to change your look or want a top notch style and haircut, make sure to go to Glenn! I would for sure go back! read more

The best place for hair color in LA or even in the world! I only trust Bianca with my highlights and could never go to anyone else. Great service, friendly people, beautiful results and wonderful location. read more

Bianca is my colorist at this salon with some serious skills and adorable sweet personality. Having black/brown hair it's extremely difficult to find someone who can highlight it without turning it orange/breaking it off or lifting the color to a lovely shade of purple/red She's an expert at blending and placing highlights in a way that flatter your face shape best. I am constantly getting compliments on my hair and how healthy it is for being so long - always happy to tell everyone "ask for Bianca at Andy Lecompte!" read more

Andy Lecompte Salon - "Brunette with blonde highlights" - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Liz for a perfect haircut and Abby for the best base and highlights.

I finally have to share my love for Andy lecompte salon! The salon is tucked away behind jenni Kayne and it feels like you're hidden from all craziness of the city. The vibe is mellow and everyone who works there is down to earth and makes you feel like you're just getting your hair done with your friends! Also they have the best iced coffee so definitely don't skip that Melinda has been doing my hair for awhile now and I will never go to anyone else, she even does my mom and my sisters hair too! She does crazier colors but is also extremely talented in natural color and red heads. She's a true artist on dimension and placement of color to frame your face and skin tone. I've been a fake red head for 7 years and I struggled finding someone to make it look natural, then I met Melinda! She has changed my life. She always makes you feel comfortable and is honest about the process and the health of your hair. She always has fun ideas if you're looking for a new look and helps with my moms gray hairs. Melinda is the best and she can do it all! It also helps that she's super cool! :) Don't forget about the iced coffee read more

Expect only the BEST from George. I always look forward to coming here because I know when I leave I'm going to look like a million bucks. He has an eye and talent for color and I never need to tell him what I want, he just knows what to do which I love. Josh who assists George is one of the kindest, funniest, down to earth guy you can meet and he himself is also talented. They're just a great team and I always look forward to my appointments knowing I'll never leave disappointed read more

George P did my hair and I am so happy with my color. When I saw the end result I literally shed tears of joy. I came in with black/red dyed hair and after one process we found that I wasn't light enough so George took the time to redo it and give me the gorgeous caramel streaks I was dying for. He really doesn't need reviews since he already has hit the top of his game, but I thought I might share my incredible experience. It was worth every cent! read more

Absolutely horrible! They overbook so you can expect to wait more than half an hour past your appointment time. Then, since it is so full, the stylist jumps back and forth between two clients. The manager looks like a middle school drop out and the stylists probably haven't graduated high school yet either. The keratin treatment is literally just having your hair washed with an overpriced conditioner. read more

Yep, its worth every penny. I normally refuse to pay these prices for colors or cuts, and feel that there are many places you can go that do a good job and not pay an arm and a leg. I'm a convert. George did my hair today - took my ombre to another level. I can't stop staring at it. He was super friendly (his assistants seemed uber stressed out, but they probably were, at one point, he was coloring three of us at once), was able to juggle three clients while still giving me a lot of attention, and effortlessly transformed my hair into exactly what I wanted. YAY! Anthony did my blow-dry and my hair looked amazing after. All in all, I'm very happy and will definitely be going back. read more

Liz Devin and her lovely assistant Anthony did my Brazilian Blowout yesterday and it was so gorgeous I was afraid to wash it, but I was overcome by curiosity and had to try styling it myself this morning. So I rinsed it out and gave it a go. I have absolutely no experience styling straight hair. I have unusually thick, coarse, kinky curls. I have literally never even used a regular hairbrush. After my Brazilian Blowout, Liz told me to get a paddle brush and showed me what to do. It took me ten minutes and no product. NO PRODUCT. to blow dry my hair this morning, and it looks like a salon blowout, only better. My closest friends actually hate it when I get my hair blown straight, because it often looks fake - but this time, everyone loves it. The Brazilian Blowout is much softer and more natural looking than a regular salon blow out - besides the obvious advantage that it lasts for months. This is going to change my life. The only downside I can see is that it's expensive - I'm going to have to get a second job, because I don't think I'm going to be able to handle going back to my natural hair. Also, Liz and Anthony are both friendly and professional. No weird Hollywood attitude. I was out of there EXACTLY when Liz said I would be. I love that. read more

LADIES, GENTS, if you want to look your best, you've gotta go see Kevin for the greatest haircut of your life. Since he became my stylist I get complimented on my hair multiple times a day. Who doesn't love looking good? I actually had to ask him for a couple business cards just to save myself time for when people have to have my stylists info. Do yourself a favor, go see him, you can thank me later. read more

Andy Lecompte Salon - Fresh from the salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have to admit, I am guilty of committing a lot of hair adultery. Most often unhappy with the results. My experience with George P from Andy Lecompte salon has been AMAZING!! He is one of the most talented colorist that's ever worked on me. He may charge more than others but you can't buy a Porsche for the same price of pinto. read more

I came here because of the rave reviews online, but I couldn't be more disappointed with the results. I was expecting to pay high prices but I also expected to get the results I wanted, by coming out with great hair, but what I came out with couldn't be further from that! I had a dreadful orange color put in my hair before I came to the Andy Lecompte salon and I needed it to disappear, as my complexion favors a more ash tone (as per my natural hair color). I booked an appointment with Derek for a color correction, admittedly he was a great guy, really nice and funny, I came to him because on the site is says he specializes in color specifically blondes. Apparently that's not the case because he didn't know what to do with my hair and had to wait for Steven to give him advice. Steven wasn't really interested in my hair color correction so Derek was left to his own devices. He simply put highlights in my hair without removing the orange base so hence I just had an orange head with highlights, so a lighter shade of orange. So after $400 plus $25 tip, I tried to live with it for a week unsuccessfully. I returned the following week as after paying a small fortune I at least wanted to be happy with my color. Again he just added more highlights, so my hair remained orange but again was a little lighter. I would never come here again. I expect a high end salon with high end prices to deliver the results you pay for, not so! read more

I generally don't write reviews, but I just booked my next appointment with Derek Louden and I was reminded of how great he is at his job. I wanted to have a dark rich brown but with a lot of grey coming in fast (and not a lot of time), Derek suggested a light honey to minimize the time between visits. Who does that? He's making it more convenient for me! The color is amazing. It's perfect for my skin tone (which isn't easy to deal with). My hair is soft. All the time. It doesn't break like it did when I went some place else. He is also completely tuned into a clients needs. If I don't feel like talking and want to read magazines or just space out - he gives me the room to do it. If I want to chat away about nothing - he's hilarious and gracious. I love spending time with him. The salon is clean and the staff is (mostly) friendly. Unlike a lot of those other BH/ WeHo salons, the don't make their clients feel inferior. I HIGHLY recommend Derek Louden at Andy LeCompte. If he can make me look good, he's a miracle worker. read more

Bianca (color) and her assistants are outstanding. Finished off my appointment with a blow dry from Glenn ($85). They were all personable, friendly, and incredibly professional. Even from the front door- you are greeted with such wonderful smiles and knowledge of what the salon offers. Truly, money well spent. I feel sexy! Can't wait to come back. PS- Try the iced coffee!! read more

This review is for Derek. A year later, my hair is still fried from him. I had beautiful, waist length, healthy hair. All I wanted was a couple of tasteful, natural looking highlights to brighten up the roots. Derek lied to me about his technique during the consultation, BULLIED me during the actual application and gave me a full head of orange, damaging, outdated stripes. My hair is still burnt now. All he cares about is the money and has 0 talent or ethics. Derek, know that every time I look in the mirror at my hair which you severely damaged because you are greedy, some of that energy probably comes back to you and it is not good. read more

George does the best ombre ever. no question. I never had anything done to my hair before and he made sure he knew exactly what I wanted. And the salon is the best. It's your hair, you have to walk around with it everyday and people actually SEE it, there's no hiding it if you hate it, so do yourself a favor and go to people who know what they're doing! I would recommend this salon to anyone! read more

I finally found the place for me, great atmosphere and incredible staff and Kevin Is the dude to go see. He's always providing amazing cuts and I feel like when I'm in there im with friends. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. read more

True Artists! I get my hair cut not often but only at Andy L Salon! They are different from any other salons because they pay attention to every small detail and they listen. Never disappoint. A bit pricey but worth every $. read more

BIANCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beautifully talented - she just gets it. When it comes to color, I will never trust my hair with anyone else. I get compliments on my hair daily - it's become totally normal for me to get stopped on the street by women asking who does my color, and if they can take a photo of it! Beauty-wise, I'm low maintenance, hate sitting around in a salon, and prefer natural looking color. I love that I can go months between appointments, and my hair still looks amazing. On a human level, I feel comfortable in Bianca's chair. She's sweet, fun, and down-to-earth. She truly listens to what you'd like to achieve with your hair... and even though I know how talented she is, and I've always been over the moon with her work, I'm still blown away by how much I LOVE my hair every time I leave the salon. Bianca is a SUPER STAR! read more

So I needed to find a new Salon after my falling out with my last hair dresser at Mission Ten Eleven in Pasadena in Dec 2010. I ended up choosing this salon in March 2011, I did 2 weeks of research because it is very important who I will trust with my hair. So I choose George P with my color and I originally choose Scott C for my cut, but I was late and ended up with Jen. So this Salon is very modern and customer service is high. George did a hands down terrific color on my hair, I was very happy. He was nice, he likes to talk about himself and that is alright once every 2 months. I really like his assistant Olivia too. Jen, she did a great cut and very fast too. She seemed into herself too, but I get that vibe their. I have bangs and Jen was good with them, told me what needed to be corrected and what was good for my face and I appreciated that. I just got back from getting my color with George and a bang trim with Jen for the 2nd time, and I was very happy with them. I might venture out for a cut but not for a new color person. Prices: Pretty expensive but it is done right. read more

Definitely one of the best salons. You would think that the stylists would be snooty because they are rubbing elbows with celebrities, but it is the exact opposite!! Anyone that I have gone to there has been very pleasant. I have searched high and low for a good colorist and finally found Vanessa. She is really the best when it comes to coloring and her technique is very natural. Most recently, I got my hair cut by Scott and really loved it! Without cutting too much from the length, he was able to really change my hairstyle and make it more mangeable, bouncy and fresh! Definitely a 5-star experience all around. And PS - they make the BEST Iced Lattes! Definitely try one when you are there. read more

I have followed Scott of Jonathan salon over here and I can see why he left! The space is gorgeous and modern, parking is much easier, and it's more of an individual experience. Everyone is very friendly and I hear other customers raving about their cuts/colors to their stylists. I don't let anyone but Scott touch my hair but I'm sure everyone is great! Scott always gives me just what I want and helps me to update my look when needed. read more

Denis is the BEST colorist I've ever had the pleasure of working with! He has taken my mousy brown to golden blonde, deep brown, ombré and now the trendy sombre. He's a genius! Dax is also the best stylist I've worked with, very laid back and always listens to what I need and makes all changes and tweets cautiously. This salon is insanely expensive, but the talent of the staff makes it well worth it. read more

Holy shit I have to update my review because Danny Moon is seriously a fucking hair genius. Today he took my hair to a whole different level, and cut six inches off it. I've never known anyone to understand color like he does and even though he's a genius at doing multi chromatic, with me I just like to be an icy cool blonde. Somehow he's elevated this to a shimmering ashy multi textured work of art and I love him for making me look so pretty , it's all about me, lol. read more

I have to warn people about this place. My girlfriend set me up an appointment with this guy who cuts her hair. This guy was the most unprofessional and rude person I have ever encountered. From the moment I walked in he barely made eye contact with me and was constantly texting on his phone. He barely looked at the picture of the hairstyle that I had printed out and asked him to replicate. He told me he would like to try something shorter. I responded that I didn't want it too much shorter. He said ok and turned the chair away from the mirror and began to completely shave the sides of my head. I told him to stop and from then there was an awkward attempt to tie everything together. He also a lot of inappropriate questions about my relationship with my girlfriend. Several times I had to politely say, "I'm not really comfortable talking about that" When I walked out of there I looked worse than Ronnie from the Jersey Shore! The haircut was ridiculously over priced too. Beware of this guy Ryan Crupi. read more

Although I really do like my hair, beware of the sticker shock!!! My fault, I should have asked for a quote when I went in for the consultation. Vanessa did tell me when she was highlighting my hair for the first time that this time would be more expensive as she was "laying the groundwork" and follow up visits would be less. I had intended on leaving with wet hair, but asked if they could do a blow dry since I was going to run errands after the visit. That being said, my jaw nearly hit the floor when I went to pay and was told my blow dry was a whopping $85 and my highlights $500! With tips, I walked out spending almost $800!!!!! Be ready to dip into your child's college fund or cash in your IRA when visiting this salon! All in all, I like the color of my hair and was happy with the result but, once Vanessa put the foils in my hair, I barely saw her again. Her assistant was the one who monitored the progress of my color, toned and washed my hair. I think Vanessa made a quick pit stop once the foils were out while my hair was still wet and my head in the wash bowl. Someone else blow dried my hair, so I sought Vanessa out after my blow out. I thought she would want to see the final result and make sure I was happy. She was busy doing another client, but she did take a second to ask me if I liked it and said she'd see me next time. Again, I am happy with the final results and finally got the blonde I wanted, but didn't feel like I was being handled like a "new" client, with any particular attention AND paid an arm and a leg for the service. Just be prepared for this, but you will more than likely be quite happy with the outcome of your hair. read more

Danny Moon is a gift from the color gods! his skill and technique is one of a kind. If you want something unique and fashion forward, he is your guy. I have never been so obsessed with my hair..ever! read more
