I really appreciated Rachel & my overall experience with her at the salon. Her individual attention to detail & personable interaction made my extended visit quite enjoyable. I'm very happy with the results of my new look & everyone in my world feels the same way. I'll definitely keep her in mind for my future hair styling needs & will recommend her services if & when my friends & family inquire. Cheers, David read more

I went to David Dru Hair Salon after searching for a good hair cut for almost a year. Carol who cut my hair game me exactly what I wanted! Can't wait for my next hair cut. This hair salon is under the new owner, Chris. He is very professional and customer oriented. read more

Brad is the best!! I never write reviews, but I want to for him. So genuinely accommodating. The color was exactly what I was looking for, and he even trimmed a few stray hairs of my DIY at-home COVID haircut. I felt authentically taken care of. I will definitely be back. read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would. But Yelp has a max of 5. I'm very particular and usually have a good idea of what I want to do going into the salon. But whenever I see Chrys, I leave looking better than I could have imagined! First things first, I have very straight, flat black Asian hair. I've been to stylists who have accidentally made me orange, red and purple. Chrys is not only a rockstar, he's an ARTIST, truly. He listens to what you want and then brainstorms on how to make what you want even better! He has an amazing eye for color and really knows how to work with your skin tone. He's taken my black hair to a beautiful brown with natural looking balyage highlights. I also just had my first cut from him. He's very detail oriented and works with the shape of your face. I've had countless compliments and have referred at least a dozen people to him. I give 5 stars for Chrys because he is attentive and never rushes you out, ever. He takes his time to make YOU beautiful because beauty and art is his PASSION. He can work with any type of hair (my girl friend has curly coarse hair, and he cut and colored it beautifully!) The great thing about Chrys and The David Dru salon is that they only use Aveda products, which is mostly plant derived. The color processing doesn't destroy your hair. I've been going to Aveda salons in SF, NYC, and different parts of LA for years (about 12 years), and of everyone who has touched my hair, Chrys is THE BEST. Period. read more

If you're looking for exceptional coloring or highlights, be sure to book an appointment with Jamalyn. Friendly, professional, and highly experienced - she'll make sure that you're completely satisfied with your salon service before you leave. Highly recommend! I came to the David Dru Salon for the first time last week desperately seeking a revamped look. Going into the appointment, I didn't have much of an idea of the kind of new look I was going for (I've had the same haircut for the past eight years or so). Thankfully, with little more than a poor quality photo I had on my phone, Jamalyn not only brightened up my natural color to perfection, but also gave me a great layered cut with plenty of volume for my fine hair. She really knows what she's doing; she tailored my cut to compliment my face shape and natural hair texture - without me having to say a word! read more

David Dru Salon - Thanks Jamalyn! - Hair Salons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I came in for a haircut with Brad, I had the best time and best hair cut in years! Brad was really kind and nice to talk with and has been cutting hair for years - it really shows too! I am so glad that I came in and my hair looks and feels so great. read more

I got a deal at work for 4 treatments at the David Dru Salon for $40. It was a great deal. Unfortunately, this deal is catered more for women and I could not participate in 1 of the treatments because it was for coloring. The facial and haircut was great. The facialist seems to be really knowledgeable in the area and worked with me to clean up those messy pores. As for the haircut, it made question why I didn't fork over for a $60 dollar cut more often. Oh yeah...cuz it's $60 dollars! Overall, it was exactly as the stars say...3 for just A-ok! read more

They somehow flagged and had my review removed (which was hilarious AND accurate by the way). Long story short, this place is a hot mess full of questionable stylists, one of whom gave my girlfriend the worst haircur of her life. NOT hyperbole. I also uploaded a picture with the review of the hackjob which was their only photo for a while. Again, hilarious... but truthful. Don't go here ladies. There are plenty of other great salons in the area! read more

Lovely, clean, cozy salon in Beverly Hills. They offer free parking as well. I received a haircut from Rachel. She was professional and knowledgeable of Aveda products and overall haircare. I LOVE my hair cut. Affordable prices and no beverly hills attitude. Support local businesses like David Dru Salon!! Thank you Rachel!! I will be back!! read more

"Miriam. It's time you graduated to David Dru," said my friend Jane as she examined my lank, way-too-dark, lackadaisically cut hair. "I promise you'll thank me. He may be in Beverly Hills but you won't go broke." Thank you Jane. As David saved my hair, giving it gorgeous shape and movement, he was also a delightful conversationalist (sometimes I like to put my nose in a book at the salon, but when I don't, it irks me when the stylist spends the entire time talking with a friend while cutting my hair like I'm a mannequin or a corpse). I was passed on to his colorist, who went the extra mile to ensure my hair was richly colored but not too dark. They use all Aveda product so my hair was wonderfully soft not just upon leaving, but for many days since. Oh, and for a cut by the owner, expert color overseen by him, and a blowout by him, I spent much less than what you'd spend at a salon on Beverly or Rodeo. As in, not free, but not ridiculous. read more

I've been at this salon twice now- both times Brad cut my hair and gave me a blowout. I absolutely loved the way he styled it and cut it. He's an awesome person, very warm and friendly. The salon is cute and clean but now they have new management so they will be expanding in the near future. I love the Aveda products they use as well. It makes my hair feel extremely soft and looking super shiny. I'll be going back to Brad and David Dru Salon anytime I need a cut. Thanks always Brad!! read more

I have been going to David Dru for years. David is truly an artist with scissors. He has always given me the most fantastic haircuts...they are always better than I had hoped for! He also colors my hair. I get full highlights with 3-4 different colors. He weaves the colors so beautifully and with such skill that when my hair starts to grow out it still look beautiful and natural. I can go 5 months inbetween coloring and it looks great! No joke. David is such a sweetheart. He is funny, friendly and a total doll. You can tell you has a serious loyal following. He knows his clients, all about their lives and cares. His assistants are always very nice too. Sabrina is another star there too. I seriously love this place and would never go anywhere else. read more

I bought a Groupon for David Dru Salon. When I made the appointment with Brad, I told him that I also wanted to color my roots so that it could go with the rest of my hair since my roots are black. The roots have grown out 2 inches and the rest of my hair was brown. So he said ok. The Groupon that I purchased was for partial highlights so I decided to pay more to get full highlights in order to get a nice touch up on the highlights I had before. He said he was going to charge me an extra $100.00 to do full highlights (even though the Groupon I purchased was for partial highlights.) At the salon, he put the highlights in and while he washing it, I asked him if he was going to do my roots. He said no, it's going to look light. So after he blow dried it, I looked in the mirror and I could still see my dark black roots sticking out. I told him that my roots show and he said, "it gives it a good contrast because you have highlights." However, I wasn't happy, because that's not what I wanted. I wanted my roots dyed so it could blend well with the highlights. Later that day, I saw a friend of mine and she asked, "Why didn't the stylist color your roots? It shows and it doesn't look that good!" I told her that I did ask for them to to be dyed but the stylist thought it would give it a good contrast. She couldn't believe that I told him I wanted my roots done and he still didn't do it. After 3 days, I text Brad and told him that I didn't like my black roots showing and that I wanted my roots brown so that they could go with the rest of my hair. He never responded to my text message I waited for a whole day and a half to get a response, but nothing. So the next day in the afternoon I decided to call the salon and speak to him, he said he got my text message but that was it. He never even apologized to me for not responding to my text message. He said he had to ask the owner, David for his opinion. After he spoke with him, he said that I couldn't get my roots done now and that I had to wait 2 to 3 months until more of it is out. He also said that I would have to pay additional for it. I spent a lot of money and I do not recommend going here! I am very dissatisfied with this salon and the stylist! It'd be different if I didn't tell him what I wanted ahead of time. I can't believe I gave him a $10 tip too! read more

AMAZING!! OBSESSED! Chris completely transformed my hair! I've actually been to other salons since to just get a blow dry and been complemented profusely on the color. It has completely transformed the way I look, even down to my skin tone. Of all the colorists I've met Chris is the one you NEED to see. Plus he's adorable read more

Such a great Aveda Concept Salon. Sabrina does my hair and certainly does a great job, and even though David has never worked on me personally, he is such a nice guy who clearly knows everything about hair and yet is very humble! So happy I finally found a place walking distance from my house that does amazing work and is a pure joy to go to! They take walk ins if not too busy! However knowing how much they care, I am sure if they can find away to fit you in they will! FYI- Visit the french bakery underneath it for some of the best food, treats and coffee around. Talk about really good Parisian Macaroons- could not get better unless you go to Paris! read more

It was way time for a cut. I had unfortunately let my hair grow to scary mullet like lengths and decided to cash in a promotional coupon at David Dru Salon. I liked the chill vibe. Simple. No pushy up selling. I like that the salon is not stuffy or pretentious. Tucked away on the second floor of a strip mall off Olympic, one would never know it's there unless you're looking for it. I was greeted by the friendly receptionist and waited no more than a minute for my stylist to come fetch me. I never even got to open up the magazine. I have extremely curly hair that is in-between straight and curly right now (thanks to the Brazilian blowout I got). I needed to get a good shape until the curls fully came back. She asked me what I wanted and was great about listening. She told me what she recommended and we compromised. In the end it was probably the best cut I've gotten in a long time. It was the fastest salon experience I think I've ever had. It included the consultation, wash and condition, cut and style. My hair looks healthier after the cut - she took about 30 minutes. I was in and out in an hour. My stylist was very confident and competent. I already made an appointment to go back. And yes, the peppermint-liquorice tea... is delicious. read more

I knew I was taking a risk by making a drastic change to my hair a day before the biggest night of my career, but thanks to the wonderful and talented Jahra, I was able to go on stage for my film premiere that night feeling like a million bucks. I had gotten subtle oil slick highlights in dark purple, blue, and green at another Aveda salon about six months before, but they tend to fade quickly to a light brown color. This time, I was tempted to go bolder with the colors. I showed Jahra some pictures online, and she was excited to work on a unique look. She brought out all the color options, and suggested adding a dark fuschia to the three colors I had gotten previously to make them pop a little more. Jahra was friendly and thoughtful throughout. After putting the foils in my hair, she even offered to pick up lunch for us from a great French cafe downstairs in the same plaza. I've never had a hair appointment where I got food! I got to eat while I was waiting for the dyes to set. And then the moment of truth. As Jahra was shampooing out the dye, she was thrilled to see the result. Then after blow drying, the colors were glorious! The four colors were layered in a way to give a lot of depth and dimension, helping my fine hair look fuller. Jahra side swept my bangs and added curls on the bottom to give it even more volume. I left loving how my hair looked and felt, and hoped I could maintain the style till the next day. Unfortunately the day of the premiere ended up being quite chaotic, and after lots of running around and lugging heavy boxes in the LA heat, my hair looked messy and sweaty. I called and requested Jahra, luckily, she was able to do the last-minute appointment. This time, I went with my best friend who also wanted a shampoo and style. Jahra once again worked her magic for both of us. She gave some great tips on how to maintain the style through the night, creating pincurls which she advised me to take out right before the event. It worked, and I got a lot of compliments on my hair that night. Jahra is truly an artist who enjoys a challenge. She had never done oil slick highlights before, yet they turned out as a better version of the pictures I showed her online. The other stylists were great too, they all seemed passionate and knowledgeable about their work. My sister, brother-in-law, and best friend were very pleased with their styles as well. I will definitely go back to the David Dru salon anytime I'm visiting LA! read more

Fabulous for over 20 years! I was reading some of the poor reviews and absolutely could not believe it was the same salon I've been going to for so long. In all the years, I've never seen anyone leaving looking less than great. They're always responsive. It's always a very pleasant experience. When I lived in NY I still planned my visits around hair cuts and color. read more

Had a great first experience at the David Dru Salon this evening. Came into my appointment tonight which was the last of the evening, and the salon was packed. They were running a few minutes behind, which was no big deal (it was the last appointment of the evening and things just happen sometimes) but they were so nice and apologetic-it was truly appreciated. Sabrina took care of my hair, and was honestly wonderful. She listened intently when I explained what I wanted, asked a few questions... then did exactly what I wanted. No hassle, no fussing... just gave me a great haircut! I have extremely long and thick hair and she gave me some great tips, and (importantly) did not push any product!! I hate feeling like my haircut is a prelude to an extended sales pitch. Sabrina let me know about the products she was using and what they would do for my hair, and left me to my own decisions. Hugely appreciated. The whole experience at the David Dru Salon was great. Everyone was courteous and helpful, and I am thrilled with my cut. I will definitely return, and recommend them to others. read more

Just back from another excellent cut and color at the salon and a FANTASTIC keratin treatment that really gave me the shine and volume I was looking for. Customers since 2001 - my husband gets his very hard to cut (very thick) hair cut here monthly and I get my cut and color done every 3 months. We make the drive all the way from the OC and I know other customers who also drive long distances for this great salon. read more

Bought a Groupon, had it for a week, called a couple of times to try to make an appointment. Never received a return call, finally refunded my Groupon. I can understand if they don't want to provide the services at a cheaper rate but why they still offer through Groupon is a mystery. Too bad too because I like Aveda products and this is an Aveda Salon I will not get the chance to experience. read more

I've been to almost every salon within the "LA scene" and New York. I write with an well skilled eye. I was thrilled to be booked with Brad. His precise knowledge on color and how it must complement my skin undertones took this visit to a far more sophisticated level. He listens intently to what I wanted my end result to look. He works with you on what you want! This communication isn't so easy to find anymore. He took time to carefully shape my hair all the while explaining what he was doing and asking me for my approval!! Outstanding communication. My color, outstanding and is better than what I imagined. Even more satisfying was the reasonable pricing. This is my go-to salon from now on. Great location, awesome friendly co-workers, and easy to get to with a parking lot that is located within...bu seriously, Brad is the Bomb! Grateful he's here! read more

I am completely incapable of blow drying my hair. I can't do it. I don't even try anymore. I've been asking stylists for years to do something with my hair that wouldn't require me to do anything other than wash it, and generally they first laugh at me and then tell me that it's easy. It isn't! I've tried. Last week Jamalyn colored and cut my hair! I can wash it, mess some product around, and it looks great. I'm ecstatic! She was fantastic. read more

I don't know about you, but when I head for the salon, I want to be in a professional, low key atmosphere where I feel 100% certain I'll come out with a good result....and that's EXACTLY what you'll always get at David Dru's salon. I was first referred to David Dru by my daughter and have been going to him for several years now. David is not only a true genius in his knowledge and expertise regarding hair care and styling, but he's also a genuinely good human being and a total pleasure to visit with while he's working his magic on my crazy head of hair. He has a fantastic staff, that sometimes includes his lovely wife, who's always a pleasure and adds a really lovely complement to the environment in this salon. I also appreciate that he uses Aveda products, which have made a huge improvement in the condition of my hair. read more

PURPLE HAIR DON'T CARE I started going to this salon as soon as I found out it's where Chrys started working. He is not only great at styling and cutting hair, but he's a pro at dyeing hair too! He's the first stylist I ever let dye my hair, and I still keep coming back! I wanted to do something different, and would usually be hesitant, but I REALLY trust Chrys with my hair! I told him I wanted purple and he did it so perfectly! I've never loved my hair so much walking out of a salon! Thank you Chrys!!!! read more

I never leave negative reviews, but I got my hair done a few weeks ago and I'm still very unhappy. I was hoping I'd learn to like it, but that's just not the case. This has to be one of the worst cuts i've received. I used a groupon and as soon as I arrived was told that if I wanted a blow out it would have cost an extra $25. I understand that sometimes there are fees for long hair, but an additional $25 is extreme. I opted out of it and just had a cut and condition. This service took and hour and 25 minutes, for literally a cut and wash. I really don't understand why it took so long, since the cut looks no different from when I arrived. It actually looks worse. I clearly stated what I wanted and did not get it. And to end it, they expected me to leave with my hair looking like a wed dog. I have very curly hair and when the stylist was finished washing, they didn't even brush it. I had to request a brush to brush my own hair. I don't know what kind of salon would want their client to leave with hair that was not brushed. Overall it was a terrible service and I'm very happy I had a groupon and don't pay full price. read more

High quality and friendly. They are professional and organized. Chrys is amazing. And I love the Aveda products!!

Most hair appointments I've had over the years, while meant to be a pampering experience, have instead been exhausting and stressful. Even in the trendiest, highest rated salons, there's usually a party atmosphere, and between the loud music, blow dryers on all sides and stylists shouting in your ear (or someone else's) as to why they think you should have what is clearly not suited for your face shape, skin tone or maintenance schedule, well...any sane person would just avoid salons forever. But then I called David Dru Salon last summer and learned there's a whole other world of hair styling. David's consult was extraordinary, fabulous Q&A and really listening to me, then time under his hands gave me a cut and color which brightened my coloring, took years off my face - I went from shaggy, uneven, faded tresses to a modern Frenchie bob with dimensional color that had me smiling. I have tricky hair, mixed textures, grays, and thinning in spots, but you'd never know it from the new cut/color. Just amazing. I have since been back twice - once for a wash and blowout from Erica, who is just marvelous, and who showed me tricks to boost volume, and once more for a refresh cut/color with David, which style still looks like a million bucks, 2 months later. My hair just loves this place. David Dru Salon is pampering at its best, a group of stylists led by a master who knows how to effortlessly and graciously match face shape and skintone with cut and tint in a myriad of ways, all executed in a serene atmosphere of quiet music, free-flowing Aveda tea and ph balanced water. Prices are quite reasonable for the area as well. Fantabulous salon, I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I've sent a few of my clients here for haircuts and color. The atmosphere is incredible, and the staff is always amazing. Definitely ask for Chrys, you can't miss him. Let him know what you want and he does it! All around great service. Will continue to send my clients here. read more

What a gem in the middle of Beverly Hills.! Superstar colorist Erica did my sister and my hair to perfection. She gave us EXACTLY what we wanted The compliments keep comin' in, on stage and off. Reasonable prices, the most talented people... Owner David and his wife Kay Lynn are caring, kind and wildly talented. THE BEST HAIR SALON EVER!! Another plus...convenient parking in a great little shopping center with a pharmacy, great French bakery, take out Chinese restaurant and beauty supply store. An amazing experience!! read more

Absolutely love this place! Very friendly staff, and nice clients. Chris is amazing. Been going to him for over a year now. He does my cut and color. I'll comeback for some highlights later in summer. He's got magic fingers!! read more

Bait and switch - I was a victim of this at David Dru Salon. I was told to color my roots would be $60. When the stylist did the work, she suggested that at the end she "pull the color through the ends also." I said fine - I do this every other month at my salon in Palo Alto. However to my shock when I went to pay my bill, I was told it would be $100. The owner, Mr. Dru, explained that "you have a lot of hair, so it cost us extra, and we pulled the color through which was more expensive." I told him I had not been TOLD that there would be an extra charge, and that you couldn't spring a 66% price increase on someone without warning them. He said, rudely, "Well, it cost us extra so we need to charge you." I asked him twice, "Then why didn't you tell me so I could have had the choice of whether to go ahead with the pull -through and the color job." He did not answer. So this shop is tricky, sneaky, not up-front. I'd be VERY careful before you go here - make sure you are getting the full, honest, true price. Mr. Dru lost a customer and made $40 off the deal. Bad move, bad business practice, bad customer relations. Bad bad bad. There are lots of better places in town, I'm sure. Steer clear. read more

Had a fantastic haircut here with Chrys. I had read some reviews on him and was booked with him, but when I arrived for some reason I had been moved to another stylist. I expressed to Chrys that I really wanted to be with him because of the great Yelp reviews and without a lot of drama, he just asked if I had a little extra time and he would fit me in. I felt a little bad, because I know he had to work quicker than usual, but he did a fabulous job. He noted that my hair was very fine and suggested we cut it in a way I've never had done before. He was much more technical when he explained it to me, but in a nutshell, he kept it a bit longer in the front to add volume and it worked. I came in on a Groupon and was still treated like a full paying customer. When I asked the regular price I couldn't believe how reasonable it was! The space is small and quaint and Aveda, so it smells good. I look forward to working with Chrys again. read more

I have been having my hair colored for years and needed to find a new colorist. I came to David Dru Salon by way of a recommendation, when I booked I was referred to Sabrina Holguin. Sabrina is by far one of the best colorist I have ever had, my color looks natural and last for several months with a natural grow out. I highly recommend Sabrina for cut and color and especially for color, and she doesn't break the bank....I have waist length hair and get hi/lo lights and cut for around 175.00 Pros: great color, great cut, value for money read more

Friendly and skilled staff. Colored my daughters hair perfectly, detangled my sons hair (which was a herculean task), and cut my very short hair, all with equal skill and professionalism. Awesome place. read more

I came here this past weekend, as I was in town for my sister's short film premiere. On Friday, my sister booked a color appointment, and my husband and I decided to join her since my husband needed a cut anyway and I was considering getting my bangs trimmed. It was a shot in the dark, as my sister and I typically only go to Aveda salons and my sister had never been at David Dru in the time that she lived in LA. They were able to accommodate my husband and me without an appointment and did a phenomenal job. Chrys cut and styled my husband's hair, and it was by far the best haircut he has ever received. Chrys also trimmed my bangs, and he provided me with a lot of valuable hair advice that I will continue to follow. My sister's color also turned out amazing (though unfortunately I cannot remember the name of her stylist!). After we left, I decided later in the day that I wanted a shampoo and style, so I went back to get that done with Chrys again, accommodated again with ease with no prior appointment. Chrys is truly an artist, as I have rarely felt this good about my hair after it's been styled. He is very easy to talk to and excellent at his job. I left the salon that day, thinking I wouldn't need to come back. However, the next day (Saturday), I decided that after a rough day of preparing for the premiere that night, I needed another shampoo and style before attending the event. Chrys was available, yet again, to do my shampoo and style. He is very knowledgeable about his craft, and I've never had a stylist that I got along with so well. Getting my hair styled by him was honestly one of the highlights of a hectic, stressful trip. I only wish I had the time and money to fly back out there and have Chrys handle all my styling needs. I will definitely at least be communicating with him for hair advice in the future, and if I'm ever back in Beverly Hills and need a styling done, I will go back to David Dru! read more

Chrys was amazing!! He totally took care of my long overdue hair and even made it look longer even though he cut it!! Will def be coming back :) read more
