Jean Marc and Michele are the Dream Team for hair. I truly don't think there is a better colorist than Michele and Jean Marc is a master at cutting hair. Worth every cent if you want great hair!! read more

JMD Le Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Encinitas, California

I'm so happy that I found Michele & Jean Marc. She nailed my color on the first shot. (Dark to very dark, but not black, and cover those Greys) And he cut my hair better (& shinier) than it's been in years. They were able to accommodate me on very short notice. There were no pushy upsells for product, extensions, "you must book now to come back in 8 weeks" type BS. Just personable, talented, witty professionals who do a fantastic job. And I love their decorating style. For comparison- I've been to bryll & pistachio for about 5 cuts/10 colors each, and they did ok to good, sometimes very good. I had "A Guy" for 10 years in NYC & I've been struggling to find a replacement since moving to North County. Pretty sure I've found them. Life is too short to be unhappy with your hair. Go see Jean Marc &/or Michele, or anyone here. My last blowout lasted for all of Kaaboo. You get what you pay for... read more

Not only did I leave the salon with beautiful hair, I had a great time. I felt like a princess and was spoiled rotten by Jean Marc & Michelle. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. I was nervous to cut my hair, but I was super glad Jean Marc suggested it, and Michelle held my hand while he did it! I can't wait for my next day of beauty.. read more

See all

I love this salon. I feel like I've finally found a place that really knows and cares about what they are doing and they do it great! Katie does my hair and I always get compliments. She is great at both cut and color and she is amazing at styling too, which really tells me she understands hair. I have only seen great haircuts in the salon and it truly is a needle in a haystack.. Everyone that works there is nice and professional..I feel like I have been looking for years to find a place like this! read more

This review is for Sandi, the aesthetician at the salon - I have not tried the hair services but have an appointment set up in a few weeks! I am SO happy to have discovered Sandi! It has been ages since I've had a facial and I've been wanting to get into a more regular routine of doing so. As luck would have it, my husband told me that the wife of one of his coworkers had a salon, so I looked it up - and even luckier for me, her new location is just down the street from our home - SCORE! I had a Custom Facial this afternoon and it was utter bliss... ahhhh!! The salon itself is gorgeous, so pristine & modern & clean and the facial was just wonderful - I feel so pampered and refreshed and have already booked my next appointment and plan on having them as regularly as possible - THANK YOU Sandi!! read more

I was visiting a friend in Carlsbad last week end and my friend needed to find a new stylist. Living on El Camino Real near la Costa we found this amazing salon called Jean Marc De Angelis. The front desk was well managed then introduced to Michelle for color and jean Marc for the haircut. Both French with an amazing talent and taste. The consultation reached my expectations .Jean Marc cut my hair first so Michelle could do my balayage and color to have the best result.it was overall a great experience.Both very professional and talented.the salon is very beautiful. Love love my hair read more

Jean Marc is like a needle in a haystack. Since I've moved to San Diego back in 2006, I haven't been able to find a great stylist until now. Jean Marc listened to what I wanted and made it happen. I enjoyed watching Jean Marc cut my hair and talking to him in the process. I now found my stylist so no more searching and ending up with a bad haircut. Thanks Jean Marc!!! Not only did he cater to my needs, but his staff was kind enough to watch my boys (ages 2 yrs and 9 mos) while I was getting my haircut. Jean Marc's wife was even successful at putting my 9 mos old to sleep amid all the noise. The service is great and stylists are wonderful. read more

I visited Jean Marc at The Four Seasons and he did a great job on my hair the first time. I went to his new salon and was extremely unhappy. He is a VERY arrogant French man who would rather speak to his employees than his customers. He doesn't try to find out how you want your hair but does his own thing. He actually told me my hair was too perfect before he started cutting it. After he finished it wasn't close to perfect. It was horrific. Each side had a different look. It was as if he tried to mess up my hair. I hated it and ended up going to another salon and had the Brazilian Blowout done on it to fix it. It was either that or hair extensions. The new stylist said she has had other clients come to her with similar stories after seeing Jean Marc. This is my first Yelp review since I feel so strongly about my poor experience. Hopefully others will read this and decide not to see him. I would give him zero stars if it was possible. read more

I'm a customer at this salon to see Katie. She is fabulous. I actually followed her from another salon. Katie has been doing my hair for over 2 years now. She fixed a bad haircut and color for me and did an amazing job. My natural color is dark blond and Katie gives me a very light blond color. She uses a color technique that makes the growout very moderate, so there is no clear line. It means I don't need to go as often, so my hair stays in better condition. She is a perfectionist and a professional. The salon is beautiful, and the staff are very attentive. I would say the yelp comments about the owner accurate, but Katie is definitely the reason that I keep going. read more

I've been going to this group for years, even before they were out on their own! They are friendly and all do a superior job! Whether it's color or cut or something special for an evening out, they are the place to go! Richard, Jean Marc and crew are amazing! read more

I can honestly say this was the best experience I HAVE EVER HAD at a salon. I went in not knowing what to expect and when I sat in the chair Jean Marc said "say no more, I know what to do". Jean Marc and his wife spent two hours cutting and coloring my hair to complete perfection. They are both charming and extremely talented. It is a shame I live in New York because I have no doubt that if lived in San Diego this would be my new spot. This isn't my last time coming back! Love love love! read more

I LOVE THIS SALON! They don't offer every service under the sun (which I like) but what they do offer is top notch! From the products that are used to their personalities of this dynamic duo and their staff are wonderful. I I have always spent a lot of money on my hair and I thought that I was going to get the best until I went here!!! Getting a cut here is hands-down amazing. Go here, take a chance, you won't go anywhere else after it. read more

So happy to be back to my favorite hairdresser and colorist around! Nobody beats Michelle and Jean Marc! I have made the mistake of going to someone else for the last time! read more

I've been associated with the people at this salon for a few years (when they were with #JoseEber at the Four Seasons in Carlsbad). They opened this establishment & I travel from Escondido ever so often; I wouldn't be able to get the quality anywhere else. My hair always looks amazing when I leave & thereafter. I've never been disappointed and my stylist, Melody Neider, always knows and understands what I want. Lord knows what I'd do without her. Worth every penny. read more

I had the most amazing experience here today! the staff was so fun and outgoing! I absolutely loved Lilly who did my nails and toes and Gracie who gave me a cute blow out! Jean Marc just knows what he's doing It's a perfect spot for a luxury spa day with the girls! Can't wait to bring all my girlfriends and get pampered in style! read more

Jean Marc is the highest priced salon in the area, but if you need to reliably look great, there is nowhere else to go. To save cash, I've gone elsewhere, but keep coming back to Jean Marc when I need to be fixed right, and look my best. You get what you pay for..... read more

If you want to get a haircut tailored just for you then you must go to Jean Marc's salon. I had my haircut from Jean Marc, and he didn't just ask me how short I wanted, or the basic questions you usually get asked. He asked the best questions to enhance my looks, and fit my lifestyle. I loved the attention to detail, not only from the haircut, but the overall experience. They offered me a beverage and took care of my sweater when I first came in. I highly recommend Jean Marc and his team! They're the best! read more

I use to frequent the Jose Eber salon @ the four seasons where Jean Marc worked as director. When the entire salon staff left to work for John Marc at his new location, I was very excited to follow them Although the prices are about the same as Four Seasons, the expereince/products was in no way a duplication of my previous experience at the Four Seasons. In the past, I had people stop me while shopping and ask me where I got my hair done. At the new salon, I did not even have one person say that they liked my hair. read more

I have been going to stylist Richard Bird and colorist Melody (whose last name escapes me, sorry!) at Jean Marc deAngelis for TEN YEARS (since they were at Four Seasons) and they are the BEST, especially in combination. Melody consistently give me beautiful color that looks completely natural, and elicits compliments from all my friends. Richard's attention to detail is phenomenal; my hair is very fine with lots of curl, but can really go curly or straight with the right cut. Additionaly I have to wear my hair up for work, and I am miserable if it's not cut right.. With Richard I have forgotten what a bad cut is-my hair is always easy to do whatever I want to with it. His cuts looks almost as good after eight weeks as after one week- and that's the sign of a truly good haircut. The salon is a pleasant place-there is a true comraderie among the staff, and you feel like part of the family. Also, and this may seem minor to some, but I personally love it-Jean Marc has a knack for music, and plays the best variety of songs anywhere. Jean Marc DeAngelis is my favorite place to go and be pampered, and I would follow Richard and Melody anywhere, I'm their most loyal customer! read more

I was never able to get through to the salon for about two weeks. When I finally did my gift card was expire by 2 business days I asked if they would be able to honor it so I could make an appointment at their soonest availability and was denied. Not exactly customer service at it's best. Needless to say I will never pay money to go here. read more

I have been going to Melody for many years and Richard for at least 1 1/2 years. I have been going to see Melody and Michele (colorists) since they worked at the hair salon at the Four Seasons. Melody, and Michele, are wonderful with color. I get compliments on my color all the time. They don't do cuts, just color, and I have always had a better result going to hairstylists (even at other salons) who specialize in either color or cutting rather than both. Richard has a great deal of experience cutting hair (he doesn't do color) and is very precise in what he does. His hair cuts and blow drys are fabulous. I have always had confidence in his ability and, I believe, his prices are very fair. I drive a long distance to this salon because Melody and Richard do such a great job and the salon has a nice atmosphere and is very tastefully decorated. They always offer me coffee, tea, wine, etc....sometimes they even have little treats. I enjoy coming here very much and will be coming for a long time despite the distance. read more

I have been going to Judy for color and Tony for my cut for a few months now. I was there this week and it just gets better. They really have got to know my hair and what I like. Being able to take care of it myself is important and they get it. I get so many compliments now and I my "blond" hair is in the best condition since I was a teenager. read more

I have been going to Jean Marc and Michelle for years. Every single hair cut and every single hair color have been perfection. I get compliments on both my color and especially my hair cuts literally every where I go. It seems like Jean Marc cuts every single strand of hair mulitple times each visit, creating a masterpiece rather than just a hair style. I don't even bother saying what I want any more I just let them do what they do best...make me look fabulous. They always keep up on the styles and change my cut slightly over time so that my look never gets tired and out dated. Everyone at the new salon is friendly and gracious and makes the overall experience feel special. If I ever move out of state I will have to add airfare in to my hair budget as I can't imagine anyone else ever making me look as good. My hair is the one expense that my husband never complains about...he loves the result as well. The cost is worth it! read more

I recently had Tony cut my hair at the Jean Marc DeAngelis salon. Just watching him go about the cut was quite impressive and he always asked me first if what he was about to do was okay. He is a true artist who manages to combine his ideas with ideas of your own to create a truly beautiful mane of hair. Go to this salon and ask for Tony. You will not be disappointed! read more

This review is for color, highlights and lowlights by Melody. I get my hair cut at another salon with a good friend, so I can't comment on the other stylists at this salon though they seem to do a great job too. Melody is the best! I've been going to her for about four years now and always get compliments on her work. She's a true artist and her choices are very flattering to my skin tone. I'm not very good at giving her direction so I really appreciate her expertise and how comfortable she makes me feel. She has a wonderful, warm way about her. My mom, who has a different skin tone and hair color than me, goes to Melody before big trips or special events and has had the experience. I've used Yelp for years but just started leaving reviews. Hope this helps someone! read more

I've been going to Jean Marc for cut and his wife Michelle for color for nearly a year. They approach their craft as a business unlike so many salons that care more about being/looking hip than making their clients the priority. From my own experience and my observations of the other stylists, each client is enveloped in an aura of professionalism and pampering. These are people who care deeply about people feeling great when they walk out the door. And, as to the comment about Jean Marc caring more about talking to his employees than his clients, he is a very gregarious man who also cares about his employees. It's a warm, friendly environment and there is no air of arrogance whatsoever. read more

Went in for a haircut and highlights and Michael did an outstanding job. He added layers to my hair and brought my hair back to the blonde tone I love. I have been receiving compliments wherever I go. I highly recommend Michael, he is very talented and you'll be amazed by what he can do!! read more

Mani; check! Pedi; check! Richard working his magic; check! I think this the only place in town that really pampers their clientele the classic way. My hair looks great and he does such a great job in listening to your wants and needs. He takes his time and asks before he cuts! Love him! Oh- the new manicurist, Joanne was really good too. The only thing is I hate rubber gloves during massages... read more

Jean Marc and Michelle are both wonderful people and amazing stylist's. Jean Marc can cut hair like nobody else and Michelle is incredible at color. The salon is simply gorgeous and they pamper you from the minute you walk in. Truly spending time at Jean Marc De angelis is relaxing, soothing and also innovative with style. There also plenty of other services such as nails and facial treatments to enjoy! read more
