Jessica has been taming my mane for many years. I have very thick, coarse and wavy hair which makes it challenging for most stylists. But not Jessica! I'm sure every client is different, depending on their needs and hair type, but I love the fact that she cuts, wet and dry to ensure everything is perfect. The beauty of being loyal to your hairdresser is that eventually they understand how to balance style/cut that suits your lifestyle; so for me, although I have a head of hair - I am super low maintenance and don't like to use a lot of product so she knows what to do without me having to explain. Sometimes I will venture out with my cut, recently growing out an asymmetrical Bob that I had rocked for a few years! Additionally, her new salon space is awesome! Super cute and conveniently located in old town Pasadena where I am tempted to shop and show off my fresh cut after an appointment he he Thank you girl for making me look and feel my best! read more

Jessica really is THE BEST!!!!!! I'm probably one of the pickiest women on the planet when it comes to my hair... I don't trust anyone and have threatened the lives of so-called "professionals" before. (dramatic doesn't even begin to cover it) However, my hair has been in Jessica's hands for more than three years now and I am happier with my lovely locks than i ever have been. The first time I saw her my hair was just past my shoulders and I was rocking lots and lots of purple color with "Bettie" bangs. I've been wearing some form of fringe most of my life and I say this with full confidence, nobody is more bangin' than this chick. Utterly perfect, every single time. From there we transitioned my hair back to a more natural color, it was just time. Jessica helped me nurse my hair back to health and find it's natural shine again, I won't ever forget my son's face when he realized what color my eyes are. Still not sure if the purple was just distracting or if the darker brown just made for better contrast. When I became pregnant with my second child Jessica helped me maintain sanity and kept me from doing anything crazy with my hair (because, ya know... pregnant women are insane). She even did a "house call" for me after the little one was born and I was in desperate need of a trim. Speaking of the little ones, it needs to be mentioned that Jessica also cuts my sons hair and is literally the ONLY person who has EVER been able to get it 100% right. You'd think kids cuts would be super easy but not with my kid. He has not one, not two... but FOUR cowlicks. FOUR. His head is literally at war with his hair. I love having someone who understands that my obsession with my hair transcends to my child's hair as well. She's just amazing. At my last appointment we went for a subtle ombre on my now waist-length hair, I have grown out the bangs and embraced my "almost natural" color. My hair is definitely healthy and happy thanks to my amazing hairapist, Jessica LaRue. read more

I've been going to Jess since she was working at C salon. I've done almost everything to my hair and only trust Jess with it. Her color, cuts, & just about everything is DEAD ON! I usually have a photo of the new look I am going for and Jess gets the look to exactly what I am looking for. And even with no pic in hand she know exactly what I want and executes perfectly. You won't be disappointed with her work. She wants you to leave happy & will make sure you are or will fix it, but it's not needed. Her studio is perfect as well. Intimate & cute. She has some cool 80's wall art as well as some street art. She has drinks to offer from water, juice, beer, wine, champs, mimosas, as well as coffee, tea, & my personal fav, Hot Apple Cider. And please don't get me started on the music. Jess has awesome playlists from just about every genre. From one music lover to another Jess has the best music. Jess is super sweet, funny, & makes you feel incredibly comfortable. Het talent already speaks for itself but it's also really nice when you enjoy the company of your hairdresser. Especially when there for several hours. I highly recommend Jessica LaRue. I've already gotten some of my friends hooked and you won't be disappointed. Xo read more

Jessica LaRue - From Kim K brunette to this! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

My first appointment with Jessica I asked her to cut my nearly shoulder-length hair into a pixie cut. She did an amazing job, I got so many compliments, and I have never looked back! Each time I see her I ask for something slightly different and she always nails it. She also has great recommendations for those visits where I'm waffling and not really sure what I want. Super friendly and talented, I totally recommend Jessica, especially if you are looking to go short!! read more

I've been meaning to write a glowing review for Jessica since the first time she did my hair and I regret not getting to it until now - she absolutely deserves 5 stars and anyone who is looking for a new hair stylist should know about her! Not only is she amazing at what she does - but she's a genuinely nice and interesting person. I always get my hair cut and colored, which can be a long process - but she makes it an entertaining yet laid back and relaxed experience. She's very easy and fun to talk to, plays good music, and always goes out of her way to make you comfortable. Not only is she a very down to earth person - she's also incredibly skilled and amazing at what she does. She pays such close attention to detail, listens to everything that you say when describing what you want, and talks it out until you're both on the exact same page about the style and look that you're going for. She gets it right every time and I completely trust her! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If you're looking for a new hair stylist, book with her - you will be pleased with the results! read more

Jessica Larue is really terrific. I have challenging, wavy hair and a tight schedule. Jessica is a chemical wizard at color, superb at cutting and styling and I when I leave her salon I feel like I can take a meeting with anyone and look my best at a party. She also tactful and a good sounding board for fashion and life in general. If you can get an appointment, GO TO JESSICA LARUE. read more

Jess is the best!! I absolutely love her and trust her to do anything to my hair. She's a brilliant colorist and gets down on cutting hair. She does exactly what you want and is very sweet, knowledgable, and is the coolest hair stylist in town!!! read more

Basically a hot mess & a hair's width from being a hobo, probably a stylist's nightmare. Void of specific ideas of what I wanted, but my hair was long & lifeless. Plus, the previous night was long & I was lifeless. Jessica was an ANGEL. Magic is made when you have this spark of chemistry with your hair stylist. It felt like I had been sprinkled with fairy dust, granted it may have been residual alcohol leaving stars in my eyes. But honestly, she made sure I was comfortable, offered me some tea & water, was totally patient, sweet, fun to talk to & after shooting the sh-t with her for a while, I realized she had magically transformed my hair with some new layers! Whether I blowdry/style/straighten it, or leave it to air dry into a messy wave, it looks great & it is 100x healthier. I really didn't want to part with too much length & she managed to save it! Love love love my hair now! I made an appointment through her website, which was simple & I received a confirmation quickly. She is currently at salonrepublic in WeHo. Parking is fairly easy & the salon has a machine in the lobby to validate. Her work space is clean & inviting. Prices are beyond reasonable, as I was expecting to pay twice as much for her time & talent. But obviously she has a loyal clientele for good reason, & I now consider myself a LaRue devotee! read more

Love it! Great location, awesome salon. Jessica knows what she's doing. She's got secret tricks of the trade! Her knowledge of the latest/ best products, trends and styles are incomparable. So happy to have found her. read more

This is the first time in my life that I have loved my haircut walking out of a salon. Jessica is game for anything and she somehow gave me just what I needed without knowing. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Jessica!! read more

One of my girlfriends recommended Jessica to me and I am SO elated she did. Jessica is immediately personable and understanding, both when it comes to speaking about your hair cut/colour or virtually any conversation topic. She cut my hair the first time and did free bang trims for nearly a year afterward (!). Finally, I got another haircut and an ombre colour -- she played it safe as I asked and I love it, although I'm ready to take the full plunge and I'm sure she'll do a perfect job. She is an incredibly wonderful stylist, not to mention an all around lovely person. Every time I leave I feel like texting her and asking her to hang out as friends. She gets the highest Yelp recommendation for being 100% fantastic. read more

JESSICA LARUE is without a doubt my "GO-2" for all my hair needs. She is knowledgeable & understands the sculpting of hair essential to my head. A true hair-style professional. read more

Jessica LaRue - Hair by LARUE - Hair Stylists Near Me - Pasadena, California

After moving to NYC last year I went to 3 different salons before realizing I NEED THE JESS TREATMENT! She styled my hair back when she was at C Salon and did a wonderful job taking my color from red back to my natural color of brunette, this time she was able to bring my hair back to healthy with a great cut. I am not back in NYC and the ladies in the office are just raving about how healthy it looks. With that being said, I need to "visit family" every 6 months now to make sure I can get a visit with Jess in. Have to mention after traveling for a short holiday visit it was so refreshing to be in her private studio at Salon Republic, it was easy to find and they have free parking! read more

Ive been getting cut and color with jessica for over 3 years now. Words cannot describe how truly amazing she really is. She is both skillful and up to date on the latest trends in hair. She always helps me find the style the compliments my face and personality yet is not outdated. Its always a pleasure to chat with her about our kids, music, and whatever else is on our minds! I promise if you go to her you will quickly fall in love with your new do and her charm. read more

Jessica is on of the most talented stylist in the city. Her attention to detail is impeccable and she is a great talent with color. She always makes the client feel comfortable and everyone always leaves super happy and lookin fierce!!!!! Congrats girl you deserve it! read more

Jessica is a complete PRO!!! She works hard to come up with color and cut that will work for your lifestyle. She also takes into consideration how it will grow out and if you have the knowledge to style it! She is AMAZING!!!!! Very considerate and kind. She is in it to make you look great and continue to have your best results. Even after 1 month I sill find things I am LOVING about my color/cut! Thank you Jessica for being soooo talented, kind and amazing! read more

About a week ago, I paid a lot of money to get my hair done and it turned out, well, orange. The person who did it has a huge Instagram following and was supposedly great. Clearly, this wasn't the case. In a panic, I texted Jessica and, although she was booked solid, she was super sympathetic and understanding and listened to all my concerns. She really helped me by recommending an amazing friend of hers. I truly appreciate her taking the time to do that. Her friend completely turned my hair around and I no longer have to go home for Christmas with orange hair. Jessica is the best! read more

After growing my hair out for years, I wanted a change and decided to make a big chop. Nervous about the cut, I yelped tons of salons, looking for someone I could trust. I found Jessica and couldn't be happier. She is so down to earth and sweet, while also being amazingly talented at cutting hair. I love her salon location and instantly felt comfortable in her studio. I explained what I wanted and then she went to work, taking her time to perfect the cut. I felt like she took extra time to make sure every part of the cut was great. My hair has been growing out beautifully and I will definitely be going back to Jessica. She deserves her incredible reviews. Make an appointment and you won't be disappointed. read more

Jessica is the best! She's done ombré and highlights on my blonde hair several times and it always looks fantastic. The color turns out so natural - people generally think my hair is this blonde by nature and are surprised when I tell them I get it done. She knows how to cut my thick hair too! It's always worth the drive to see her since I know I'm in such good hands. read more

Ok if hairstyling was a religion this woman is Mother Theresa!!! She has changed my hair color multiple times, and even with my indecisiveness, she color matches just right! She's amazing and worth every penny, I have highly recommended her plenty of times and will continue to do so, as long as I live. Thanks Jess!!!!! read more

Cutest. Haircut. Ever. Jessica is not only a total gem of a gal, but she turned my overgrown useless haircut into a short do that makes all my clothes look better on me. read more

I've been looking for a good hair stylist for about a year. I've had goodish cuts and one hair destroying disaster. Having been to just about every great salon in BH and WeHo in my life my expectations were high, but yet, given my recent try it out experiences, also was prepared for getting yet another disappointing haircut. A new friend recommended Jessica. Just give it a shot. My first impression was the space is perfect. Private and professional.,No attitude-y salon, no need to dress up, but clean, nice and well designed. Jessica, herself is the sweetest person ever. Your new BFF. As she cut my hair, I was impressed with her methodical precision, attention to detail and obvious well studied technique. The result: a beautiful cut that has been complimented since I got it. By everyone, But, most importantly, my husband. Everyday. I was so blown away I made an appointment for color. My color has been my priority since I can remember, it's been my biggest indulgence. So I was scared. But during the process, Jessica explained everything she was doing and it all made perfect sense. I wasn't worried. Again, my hair came out amazing! I really can't believe she's as down to earth as she is. I don't think she knows just how talented she is. I'm thrilled. read more

Jessica's been styling my hair for several years now. I just saw her again this Saturday after NINE months. Her cuts are so perfect, even after 9 months, it still styles perfectly. I save so much $$ with Jessica! And, love our conversations! I highly recommend Jessica. read more

This was the first time I have ever dyed my hair and was awfully nervous. I was referred by not one but two friends and I could not be happier with the outcome. Jessica was extremely kind and professional by explaining each step of the process to ensure that I was comfortable. I've gotten so many compliments about my ombre dye. I cannot wait to have her cut my hair on my next visit. read more

I've been going to Jessica for years because she is theeee best! She's always willing to try new things and nails it every time. Prices are great. She has her own awesome spot now. She's also done my hair for many events I've went to and I'm always very satisfied with the results. That girl really knows how to tame the crazy curls! Go to Jess, she won't disappoint! read more

Got my haircut with Jessica two days ago. I wanted to wait before I wrote this review, to make sure I still liked the cut after washing and styling my hair at home. Still love it! I came to see Jessica based on the yelp reviews. I made an appt on her website, which was surprisingly easy and convenient. I was actually worried because of how quickly I made an appt (for like a week later) and how easy it was to make. I am still kind of surprised, but very happy about it. Jessica was super sweet. The first thing that put me at ease was that her hair looked cute but not overly done up (like something I would actually wear). For some reason, that makes me feel comfortable. I am the type that kind of sticks to the same layered long hair look, which makes it difficult every time I see a new stylist. I basically want them to do the same thing the last one did, long after my hair has grown out and it looks totally different. She listened to what I wanted, actually looked at my hair, and gave me some suggestions. I like it when a stylist listens to me, but I also like it when they make my hair look good. She did both, which really impressed me. The cost was actually less than what I expected. She offers a 10% discount for checking in on yelp, which I fumbled with but couldn't remember my password to do on my phone. She gave me the discount anyway. Like I said, she was really nice. I'm actually contemplating setting up an appt for some color, now that I think about it. TIP: She works out of Salon Republic, which is basically a giant maze with like a hundred different stylists in different rooms. She was in suite 75, which if I remember correctly, I walked in and made a right, then a left towards the 70s. They validate parking, which is in the sunset five structure with the Crunch and the Sushi Dan. read more

Jessica is a miracle worker! It's so hard to find a hairdresser that not only heard you but listens, and then delivers. She gave me the exact color I wanted, and is the only person I've ever let cut my bangs except me (and one lady who destroyed them many years ago, hence my trepidation). Go see Jessica. She is also a super cool human and in every way you'll be happy you went. read more

I have been going to Jessica ever since she worked at C the Salon in Studio City. I have followed her to Fig on 3rd and now to her new place!!! (Which is totally awesome btw!). I seriously don't trust anyone else with my hair!!! I have ugly awful frizzy hair that is an ugly dish water brown color... When Jessica is done with it ... It looks Awesome!!!! I have cheated on her once because I really needed to get it done and I am terrible at planning these things ahead... OMG what a disaster!!!! I had streaky white highlights that didn't blend at all... I had to call her up and go in a couple days later to have her fit it and it was all better!!!! Never again!!! I only go to Jessica!!! If she ever leaves LA I might just have to as well... If you want your hair to look fabulous.... She is your girl!!!! read more

Dammmn, I look good. Jessica's the best! I've been having her cut me for bout two years and she always does an awesome job. She's great with my baby hair, always making it look thick and stylin. Also saved me when I tried to color my own hair, without ridicule! Her shop is so convenient and has free parking, yay! read more

Jessica is awesome! I used to get really nervous cutting my hair... other stylists sometimes don't get the style you envisioned quite right or you feel they are a bit judgmental of your hair if it isn't perfect... but when my friend recommended Jessica to me, all my worries went away! She always gets me and you know what, even if I don't know what I want, I would still trust her guide me toward a decision. I've never gotten more compliments about my hair than I have with her as my stylist. Thanks for always delivering! read more

I've known Jessica from when she was at the Fig on Third Salon. When I heard she opened her own place, without hesitation I followed her. I originally came to her looking for new style for my wedding. She listened to every detail and her vision and skills made it a huge success among my friends and family. If you are looking for someone who genuinely listens to what you are looking for and then they use their skills and trained eye to take your vision above and beyond, Jessica is the right person for you. read more

Jessica is amazing! I had been searching for a permanent salon to get my hair cut for a long time, with very little success until I came across her. Now I refuse to go anywhere else. Highly recommended! read more

Simply amazing. I have been in LA for 3 years searching for a hairstylist that listened and knew what they were doing. Jessica is definitely worthy of all these great reviews. I found her through Yelp after a horrible color experience elsewhere. After several hours she brought my color back to life and I couldn't have been more pleased. I have finally found someone I trust with my hair. read more

Jessica did an amazing job on my hair. She listened to everything I was worried about going blonde and answered all my questions and made suggestions. Will def be going back to her from now on. She was beyond friendly and professional. I have always had terrible hair jobs and I'm soooo so happy to have found the perfect hair stylist for my hair. read more

This is my first Yelp review and definitely worth it!...When I moved to LA a couple of months ago I was super nervous to find a new hair stylist. I was searching on Yelp and saw Jessica had awesome reviews so I decided to give it a shot. I am not exaggerating when i say this, it was the best haircut i've ever had! I absolutely love it! I showed her some pictures and she did exactly what i asked for! She even gave me suggestions on what would look good or not. I also have super thick hair so when i asked for something that would lighten it up, she did exactly that. It feels so much better and lighter! She is definitely my go to hair person now! read more

I usually don't yelp, but I am so happy with my haircut I had to share. I have long hair and got a haircut 3 weeks ago by another stylist. I told her I wanted layers since my hair was long. After she cut my hair she styled it so I couldn't tell if it was layered or not. She also told me not to wash my hair for 3 days. After 3 days I washed my hair and realized there were no layers just a blunt cut. I found Jessica on yelp and let's just say this is the best haircut I have gotten in years. I definitely will be coming back for more haircuts. Next visit with Jessica will be coloring my hair. If you are looking for someone awesome I highly recommend her. read more

I second all the other reviews - Jessica is truly an amazing stylist - creative, collaborative, and always delivers! I started having my hair done by Jessica years ago at C the Salon and have followed her ever since because I've never before been able to just put my head in a stylist's hands and literally she never disappoints! No matter where you are located, a trip to her chair is worth it. I get compliments on my hair all the time, don't wait, book this lady! read more

I've been living in LA for 8 years and have always been looking for a great hair stylist. Finally found her! Jessica LaRue is so awesome, always delivers what you ask for and fun to chat with:) I would recommend her to any one and have! Tricia read more

My previous hair stylist moved salons and though I've tried a few different people since no one had really hit it out of the park until I sat in Jessica's chair! Love, love, love what she did with it. Also love that the parking is super easy and her space is immaculate. I've found my new stylist and I highly recommend her. read more
