I'd give this place six-stars if I could!! First off, the location of this salon is phenomenal…read more Conveniently located in the heart of La Jolla, right on Girard. Tons of foot traffic to observe as I enjoy my service. Second, the ambience of this salon cannot be understated. Modern, cool, extremely artistic. You can see the pride in ownership and of the staff by the way they maintain this business. Location and salon aside, the stylists are incredibly talented, thoughtful and artistic. Passion and style seeps through their scissors and brushes. All staff members are professional, kind, and eager to help. I came in for a cut by Hannah, color by Jerrod and keratin tx by Dan. I walked in with extremely difficult hair. My hair is wirey and frizzy; it looks extremely damaged-- as if I put my hair through a lot of damage when in reality, I'm very low maintenance! I came in seeking a haircut and some golden tones to brighten my hair up for summer. Right when I walked in to this salon, I knew I was in the right hands. Jerrod was very attentive to my coloring desires; he took his time answering all of my questions and when assessing my hair. He was extremely knowledgeable about color. In just one session Jerrod was able to bring light into my previously dull hair. The process wasn't overdrawn and was very comfortable. It can be extremely hard to find the right shade of blonde for my olive skin tone but Jerrod did NOT disappoint. The color is perfect and the babylites give my hair dimension, light and much needed change. Next I had my haircut by Hannah. Again, she too was very attentive to my needs. She really took the time to listen to what I was seeking out of this cut. Hannah was able to bring my ideas to life and elevate them to the next level. I have never been able to rock a blunt, short haircut. But Hannah was positive I could. I was soooo surprised. She took the time to add dimension to my hair with layers. When I walk, my hair moves! I am absolutely thrilled with her ability to give me previously unobtainable results. Last, I had a keratin treatment by Dan. He was thorough and detail oriented. He took pride in ensuring every last hair had been treated. In the end my hair was blow dryed and straightened to integrate the keratin into my hair. The keratin Changed my hair texture from coarse to silky smooth! The keratin treatment really tied the cut and color all together. My hair was now manageable and beautiful!! I couldn't stop admiring it in the mirror. Dan checked over my hair cut, color, and keratin treatment and BOOM I was finished. The whole process was seamless from start to finish. I have never been one to care about hair but after this treatment I see my hair as the ultimate accessory. I will be sure to refer Dleux to all my friends and coworkers. Truly this whole process has been incredible. Thank you dleux!!!

I came in with a clear inspiration photo of a rich brunette with soft, blended caramel highlights…read more Before we even started, I explained that I understood my hair would not turn out exactly like the inspiration photo because my hair is not virgin hair. I've previously colored it with Redken Shades EQ and Cover Fusion on my roots, so I knew my results would vary. I was never expecting an exact replica. I also understand that the inspiration photo was taken in completely different lighting than the photos of my result, and I know lighting can dramatically change how hair color appears. I took all of that into consideration. Even with those differences, I still feel that what I received wasn't simply a variation of the inspiration--it was a completely different color direction. I wasn't expecting perfection, but I did expect my hair to be moving toward the look I had requested. Instead, the final result was much lighter, warmer, and more orange than the rich brunette with soft, neutral caramel dimension I had asked for. The inspiration photo and my final result weren't just slightly different--they looked like two entirely different color goals. My hair also felt noticeably drier afterward, to the point that I ended up cutting about four inches off the ends. I called the salon and scheduled a correction because I genuinely wanted to work together to get closer to the look I originally requested. Unfortunately, the correction appointment was even more disappointing than the original service. Instead of listening to my concerns, the stylist immediately argued with me and insisted that this was exactly what I had asked for. He told me my hair was already "caramel enough" and refused to do lowlights because he felt my hair looked fine the way it was. He then tossed several color swatches onto my lap and told me to pick a color. When I asked if they were semi-permanent, he told me the salon didn't carry semi-permanent color, only a gloss and permanent color. The swatches he gave me were all dark browns, which wasn't what I was asking for, and when I questioned them, he responded that I knew color theory well enough to know what my hair would turn out like. He also told me my ends were compromised and that there wasn't much he could do for me. Before this service, my hair was healthy enough that I wasn't concerned about the ends. Leaving that appointment feeling like I was being blamed for the condition of my hair after a highlighting service was incredibly upsetting. The most disappointing part wasn't just the color--it was the way I was treated. I expected a professional conversation and a collaborative effort to find a solution. Instead, I felt dismissed, argued with, and made to feel like my concerns weren't valid. By that point, I no longer trusted him to work on my hair, so I left without any correction. I paid $350 for this service and walked away with hair I'm unhappy with, hair that feels significantly drier than before, and no resolution

However I agreed and schedule the appointment. This color is nothing like the picture my granddaughter provided, below. Colored via foils on the top of her head and only a two foils on the top sides. As you can see the color doesn't even start at the roots. This was a birthday gift for her. She was on the verge of tears at the results! I sent Peter Raymond a text letting him know she was very unhappy with her hair but he never responded. So I felt compelled to write this review.

This is the first review I have ever left because my hair did not come close to how I wanted it. I…read morepurchased the Groupon for balayage, cut, and blow dry. Since I had box dye in my hair, he informed me it would be an extra $70 for a color correction. After getting price estimates from other salons, this seemed like a decent price for my budget. I did my research and looked over his website, Yelp reviews, etc. and the photos impressed me and led me to believe he would produce the balayage I wanted. I didn't mind the price for everything I was getting. I sent David photos of how I wanted my hair a few months before I scheduled the appointment. I have been saving up money and planning this treatment for five months which is perhaps why I'm so upset about the original results from my first appointment. When I walked in he briefly welcomed me and then immediately asked me what I wanted done. Since I've been planning this treatment for so long I had a Pinterest album of similar balayages (not to mention he already had the photo in our thread). He took one glance and got started which made me nervous but I trusted him as a professional. Throughout the treatment there was no communication regarding color, length cut, or anything like that. We sat in silence for 80% of my 3 hr. appointment. We made small talk and I asked him about after care, what he was putting in my hair, etc. He curled my hair and when I turned around and saw my hair for the first time I noticed it was WAY lighter than I expected, but I did like it. I left the salon happy. But I never curl my hair so when I saw it natural (wavy/straight), I could see how messy and amateur it looked. There were chunks reaching up to my roots and he basically dyed the bottom half of my hair a rainbow of blonde colors. NOT a balayage. I left a short review on the website and he text me shortly after with a long reply. I sent him photos of how my hair looked and the photo I originally sent him of what I wanted. He offered to fix it for free, so I went back in. Before my appointment he text me to confirm and said "Would be great if you could take down your review," but I'm glad I waited until after the second appointment to review him again. This time the communication was better, however now that a day has passed I see that my hair is still not where I want it to be since he bleached the whole bottom half and effectively made it difficult to achieve a balayage with just toner. I do understand that I did tell David I liked my hair in the salon because at that point I was fed up and wouldn't bother to have him fix it since he already comped this appointment and spent his time fixing it. Overall it looks much better now and is healthy after I cut 4 inches off (which I did to get rid of the dead bleached hair), but I am still going to get it fixed by another hair dresser. Not only that but I asked him for long layers in my hair cut but my hair is all one length. At the end of the day, if you go to David, just make sure you are clear about what you want because otherwise from what I can tell in other reviews he is a good hairdresser.
