She has the greatest personality in is really fun to talk to... she has my highest recommendation.If you're looking for a really good stylist, you can stick with and continually have great hair. read more

Meredith was absolutely wonderful. She walked me through what she doing and has a wealth of knowledge. She helped me discover what my hair can look like with a little bit of product and the right techniques. I'll absolutely be getting my haircut with her again. read more

Update - got a message from my stylist just before my next appointment letting me know he had moved salons. I was confused since he seemed so happy at Nu Du. At my appointment in the new salon, I found out that Nu Du had sold their business to a barber shop and is actually closing this month- October - and not telling their clients. I was absolutely floored. Imagine booking a service with your favorite hairdresser months in advance only to find out their salon is actually closed!! Shady business owner making their stylists look bad and disappointing clients. Shame...glad my stylist found a new home. Check your appointment if it falls after October 25th! read more

Updating my review after giving this salon another try! I had a wonderful experience with Anastasia. She gave me an amazing haircut for my long hair, even though I wasn't sure how to describe the exact look I wanted. She listened to my vision, offered helpful suggestions, and the result was beautiful. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, making me feel very comfortable. It seems my previous visit may have just been an off day. Regardless, I'll definitely be back! read more

I had made an appointment with Anastasia after I had a conversation with her about a month ago. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the front desk receptionist. She wasted no time asking of I wanted a drink while waiting. As soon as Anastasia was ready to greet me we wasted no time in getting my hair done. She gave me long layers and also dyed my hair. After we choose the colors and she started to dry it and after I said I didn't like the color we wasted no time toning it down. All in all I am glad I went I have been getting such rave reviews for my hair. Will definitely come back to see her when I need a touch up. read more

It always tough to do Malias hair, today we went to our favorite place Nu Du Salon! They just won three years in a row The Best Salon in Long Beach! Here's why I believe they own up to the title... Malia always has had a fear of cutting or doing anything to her hair because it's so hard to manage. Paul,Meredith and Shannon and their team talked to Malia step by step the process and told her why she needs to have it cut and maintained. They did a fantastic job and even stayed after closing to make sure it was perfect and she was happy. It means a lot to me not to rush a job just because she's a little girl, they have passion and heart and understanding. Thank you for always being there for us and thank you for being the best! read more

I cannot say enough good things my experience at this salon! I got my hair done by Ray and let me tell you... SHE IS A MIRACLE WORKER! I had box dyed my hair for years and attempted a bleach bang look that left me looking pretty crazy. Ray helped me reach my hair goals with a FABULOUS vivid green bang. She didn't judge me for my crazy hair, she listened to what I wanted, and told me how we can get there. She was awesome to work with. Very professional and at the same time, felt like I was chilling with a friend. I can't wait to go back and play with more vivid colors. As far as the salon, super clean and inviting! A really awesome experience. read more

Nu Du Yu Salon - Vivid green bangs with dark black hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've been going to Ray at NuDu for about two years now. Her skills and my willingness to experiment with vivids have been growing together. I recently had the guts to finally hint at wanting rainbow hair. Our consultation period was very thorough. I shared an inspiration photo for color and another for how I'd want to style it to give her an idea for rainbow placement. I was confident the results would be amazing when I saw her excitement for the idea. My resulting rainbow accented hair got me countless compliments at the last festival I attended. I finetuned my festie outfits to match my hair and my weekend was absolutely made due in part to having Ray work her magic on my hair color. Going to NuDu itself is always a welcoming experience with their lgbt support flying in their window. I also enjoy how all the stylists get along and always seeing the owner there too. read more

Was taken care of here by Rach for a K18 leave in! Such a warm hearted person. My hair feels soooo good and they gave the best massage! The salon keeps the doors open which allows a sweet breeze to pass through. Feels so nice. Will be coming back for a cut and color soon! read more

Yesterday I took my son to get his first haircut. He was ready, but I'm not sure I was. Meredith is AMAZING. She worked with my son with such kindness and grace. I will not take my son to anyone else. He was beaming with pride and happiness after leaving the salon. I am certain this is not only because of how amazing he looked, but also because of how amazing he was treated. read more

Nu Du Yu Salon - My handsome young man - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

I recently had the BEST experience at Nu Du Salon! I'm new to the area (moved here last year) and live just two blocks away. Despite this, I've been stubbornly driving to Silver Lake for haircuts because, let's face it, trusting someone new with your hair can be terrifying. But after a computer schedule mishap, Meredith, the owner, went above and beyond to help this busy mom out, and I was sold. After some research (a.k.a. Instagram stalking), I decided to take the plunge with Rach, whose cuts I absolutely loved. I went in wanting some curtain bangs, and let me tell you, they NAILED it. Seriously, my hair has never looked better. Plus, Rach is just a delight to chat with--so much so that I'm actually looking forward to my next bang trim (who says that?). Meredith and Rach, you've gained a loyal customer for life. Big fan here--thank you both so much! If you're looking for a new salon, trust me, Nu Du is the place to be. ‍ read more

Maisie did an incredible job giving my the purple hair of my dreams! I asked for purple highlights and for the tips to be purple as well. She's great to talk to while getting it done and the extra K18 treatment was worth it as my hair is so soft! (Photo taken two days later) read more

Nu Du Yu Salon - Hair by the best. Thank you Dionne! - Hair Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Got an amazing haircut from Heidi. I called in for a same day appointment while I was visiting my mom and was so lucky to get Heidi. I was in dire need of a good trim but super hesitant due to so many bad haircuts in the last few years. Heidi listened closely to my concerns and my request and it showed as soon as she started cutting. She was precise and very mindful of my request to keep as much length as possible while getting rid of dead ends. She did an amazing job, she listened to my concerns and paid attention to detail. Will definitely go back and totally worth the 35-40 minute drive, who knows maybe I'll visit my mom more often! Thank you Heidi! read more

Anastasia is AMAZING! I've never gotten sooo many compliments on my hair afterward. 1000% would recommend this place - don't hesitate!

Taylor is amazing! She knows what she is doing and is super sweet. I stayed loyal from her last salon and went yesterday and after not getting my hair done for a 13 months!! I'm glad I went I feel so much better and confident thank you!! Also the place was super cute and everyone in there was nice! read more

I came here for a last minute cut since the girl I usually see was not available. They were able to get me in on short notice and I had Deborah work on me. I love the location, and I had such a nice and relaxing experience with Deborah cutting my hair, even without a shampoo/blow dry. I requested a dry cut since I had just done a shampoo the day before. I also wear extensions, and even thought Deborah doesn't normally cut and style them, she was willing to take me on, which was so great! She got me the look I wanted and I left happy. The prices here are reasonable as well. Would recommend if you are in the area. read more

Rayna was amazing! She really took the time to understand my curly hair routine as of right now, and that helped give her insight into what cut and style I could really benefit from. She kept me updated on what she was doing and in turn I was learning how to care for my curly hair. I loved the wash, the treatment, and the cut. The salon overall had good energy and a good vibe going, and I loved that they already started decorating for the holidays. I'll definitely be returning for a quarterly cut! read more

Paul is absolutely the best hairdresser I have ever had and I've been around for a while! He's a master at color as well as so nice and engaging. I absolutely adore him and the work he has done on my hair. I'll never go to anyone else again. thank you Paul read more

Rayna always does an amazing job on my hair! I first saw her when I wanted to color my hair for the very first time and I've been going to her ever since. She takes the time to attentively listen to what I ask for and always makes sure I'm happy with the end result before I leave. I'm always extremely happy with the outcome and she explains how to take care of my hair as well. Will always recommend her to anyone looking for any hair services! read more

Both times I've been here the two different stylists who will not be named messed my hair up. I don't know why I gave it a second chance. This stylist messed my hair up so bad by not doing the cut I wanted so I went back to get it fixed and now it's even worse. I'll likely have to cut my hair super short to fix it. I wish stylists would be honest about their capabilities but instead they try their best and mess your beautiful head of hair up. Awesome read more

What an experience. I had some pro and some definite cons. I have gone to the same stylist at a different place for 16 years and was looking for a new salon home and sadly I didn't find it here. My stylist was Paul and he was very nice and loved his personality and the color my hair ended up and how he explained what he was doing through the process. Sadly that's where the pro ends. While he was applying the color he got some on my cheek and i waited for him to clean it off (never happened) so at the end of the appointment I had to ask how to take it off and was handed a wipe which did nothing and was then told to just use dish soap when I get home meaning I had to leave with the hair dye on my face. Also, the dish soap didn't work! While he was using the diffuser attachment on the blow dryer it fell off and fell onto the floor then he put it back onto the dryer and continued which is NOT sanitary. Also with my curly thick hair I NEVER use a diffuser as my hair gets extreme frizz and voluminous which for me is not the look I like. While cutting my hair he never asked what side I part my hair so the cut is now based on how I just randomly did it yesterday. I never saw him compare the lengths from the front, only the back. When it came time to pay based on my online estimate $195 for full color and cut I expected to walk out around 215 which included tip. He continued to add pricing and then told me it cost more because he had to use more product for the color because of my hair thickness. This should have been mentioned when looking at my hair during the consult, not at the end. I ended up leaving spending around $300 which included my tip. I will never go back and the only reason I gave 2 stars is I like the color (just not on my face). I want to walk out of a salon feeling confident and loving how I look and I definitely didn't feel that yesterday. The owner replied to my Yelp review: The owner replied to my comment but I can't reply back so I will do it here, this was her reply: Nu Du Salon (Owner) an hour ago Hello Sara. We appreciate your perspective and will be addressing your concerns to the team. I'm concerned that your review may be somewhat untrue since I'm looking at your ticket and you paid $235 for the services and a $35.25 tip, not $300 as you stated. We do not leave color on the face, Paul safely placed foil around your hairline to protect your face and you removed the foil, then when he went to help you get the color off, you declined the process. In conclusion in speaking with Paul about your negative experience we advised him to personally call you to see if there is anything we could do for you to better your last visit. Sadly you declined and there is nothing we could do to help you. We wish you all the best in your hair journey. This was my reply: I'd like to make it known that $300 is dang close to $270 which is the exact price she is saying I paid so sorry I was off a mere $30 out of that large of a total. Id also like to make it known I didn't pull the foil off my face as that would be insane as I've died my hair plenty and know it would stain my face which it did! When it fell off during my 50 minute processing time I told him it fell off and showed him exactly where I put it which was on the little table in front. PS dish soap didn't remove it but coconut oil does for anyone who gets hair dye on their face. He also never offered to clean it for me, if he had I wouldn't have had to ask for it to be cleaned at the end. I did appreciate the call and informed Paul I appreciated the follow up. That's correct I declined a way to fix it as I didn't know what could fix it as I have zero plans to return and I knew I wouldn't get a refund. The owner was very defensive in her reply to my constructive feedback on my experience. read more

This was my first time getting an actual haircut and upon reading the reviews I decided to book with Masie, and let me tell you did she deliver!

I booked my second appointment after leaving and can't wait to go back! This is a great salon and I'm so happy I found it! read more

Meredith has been my stylist since 2015, even though I've moved from Long Beach, to Costa Mesa to the Bay Area, I keep coming back. I am even flying back in August for one last trim before my wedding, because I can't find anybody who is confident in cutting hair dry and who will carefully skim/trim all my split ends without taking length. She's the only stylist I've found who actually listened to me when I said I wanted to grow my hair out. She changed her routine with me (after the first visit), because she noticed that the normal wash, trim, dry routine didn't work, as my hair drys drastically different lengths which resulted in more hair trimmed off, than desired. When I did finally cut my hair short, I let her decide the style for me and she chose a low maintenance lob that I got compliments on for a year (until I grew it out). I've found her business practices easy to understand and clearly articulated. For scheduling, she has a system to remind you of the appointment (a couple days before the cancellation policy takes effect) and it's easy to cancel your appointment if something changes (multiple ways to contact her). Meredith is a phenomenal stylist, who cares about her clients and their goals. I'm having a hard time finding a Bay Area stylist with the skills to maintain my hair with her standard of care. I highly recommend Meredith to everyone. read more

I've been coming here since possibly when they open. Meredith and I joke how I was her first Vagaro app customer but I truly was. I found her on a whim. I was new to the area and didn't have a hairdresser and two years of Covid length of hair so I needed a good clean cut. She was so knowledgeable. I'm so grateful for her. She listens to what I dislike and like about my hair and finds the sweet spot and makes my hair exactly how I'd like it to be. Never have I ever had someone as good as her. Highly recommend. read more

Highly recommend him and Nu Du Salon read more
