Extremely poor customer service and hair color service. I came in and asked to go lighter, but left with my hair basically the same color. For $400, I expect something to actually look different on my hair. My end result looked NOTHING like the photos I showed. When I politely tried to bring it up afterwards, Josephine just "haha" reacted to my message. Extremely unprofessional and rude. The least she could do is act like she cared. I'm not sure why she has so many good reviews because my experience with hair and service was terrible. This was over a year ago and I'm still upset about it because I had been looking forward to this hair appointment for over a year, carefully planning my finances to be able to afford this service. After a year of reflection, I am still appalled at her reaction to a client being disappointed and the way my hair came out. Paid $400 for nothing. read more

Loved the result, the hairdresser really took time to understand what I wanted and gave me great input. The salon is really nice.

She is THE BEST! Josephine knew what my hair needed before I even knew what my hair needed. I'm always so anxious getting my hair done cause past hairdressers have always convinced me to do what they want. She asked "what DONT you like about your hair?" Not many hairdressers do that, and they push balayage on you. I completely trusted her and even when leaving I was still a bet nervy and apprehensive, thinking it wasn't dark enough. BUT honestly, it's my fave. So me. Sitting in the hair and seeing it at home I LOVE IT. Definitely what I needed. I wanted to go darker darker but that would've been way to drastic and I truly would have regretted it later on. So nice to finally find a local hairdresser to trust. Will be recommending to anyone who asks. read more

Josephine is a highly skilled hairstylist and I feel fortunate to have found her! So glad I listened to her suggestions, my hair looks thicker and healthier now! I really appreciate her honesty and careful attention to details.. she's quite a perfectionist. Thank you Josephine! :0) read more

Excellent work reasonable and my hair came out beautiful and I didn't have to pay Beverly hills prices very accomplished stylist

My review is long overdue! But I finally must write one! I have been going to Josephine at Les Cheveux (otherwise called LaDuree Hair Salon) ever since October 2023. And she and her assistant, Charlie, are absolutely awesome :D !! I only wish I found them sooner :) ! Prior to finding her on Yelp, I went to a salon in Westwood that was run by a couple. But I wasn't too happy with how they had me change around my schedule just so they could run their personal errands. When you run a business, you should always put customers first. If you have certain personal tasks to take care of as business owners, you simply block off certain appointment times on your manual or virtual calendar so customers don't book appointments for those date/time slots. If something unexpected comes up, you contact your customer to see if you can reschedule on the next date/time that your customer would prefer for a reschedule. But you don't keep pushing the time further and further into the day on the day of the appointment, and make your customer keep adapting to your schedule. This couple did just that :( ! So I got frustrated and decided to take my business elsewhere! I'm really grateful that I found Josephine and her assistant, Charlie :) ! They are so professional and courteous, and they really listen to your needs! Because my previous stylist at the previous salon was so scissor-happy , didn't listen, and cut more than I told her to cut, so far, Josephine hasn't cut my hair because we have to wait until it grows back enough to cut it. The previous stylist botched my hair by creating unwanted and uneven bangs that I told her not to do :( . So because of the damage from the haircut I got from the previous stylist, Josephine has been trying to fix my hair each time I have gone to her since October 2023. Josephine's prices are very reasonable :) ! And she has a great knack and sense for what works for your hair! Because I have always had white hair ever since I was in elementary school, I have had to dye my hair since I was a teenager. Josephine gave me a really nice caramel brown color that really goes well with my skin tone :) ! Thanks so much, Josephine :D !! And thank you, too, Charlie :D !! When I finally get to the point of needing a haircut, I can't wait to see what Josephine can recommend :) I always look forward to seeing her and Charlie :D ! The best way to schedule with her is by appointment because I don't think she takes walk-ins. You can message her the first time through Yelp. Then for every appointment after that, you can book your appointment by texting her via phone :) ! She really tries her best to work with your schedule. I work really oddball hours at my hospital workplace. But she really tries to help me out by coordinating hair appointments before I have to work in the afternoon / evening. There is a small free parking lot in the back of the salon. If you have morning appointments, it's generally pretty feasible to get a good parking spot there. But if not, there is metered parking out in front of the salon. Or you can also park around the corner on the small side street where there are signs for 2-hour free parking :) . Les Cheveux is within walking distance to a small outdoor mall with a Starbucks and a Chase Bank if you need to stop by at these places either before, or after, your hair appointment (which I usually do) :) ! read more

I love love love coming here for my haircuts! Josephine is truly one-of-a-kind and I can't imagine going anywhere else. She's very transparent about the amount of hair she believes would be best to cut off/trim, and she always shows you the EXACT length that it'll be once she's finished. My hair looks so healthy each time I leave and -- somehow -- it still looks just as long as it was when I walked in! Beyond those factors, her personality shines through with each appointment and I strongly recommend seeing her for your next cut! read more

I'd been on the hunt for the past several years for a new hairstylist that I could trust and I can honestly say, Josephine is that girl!!! I'm admittedly super picky when it comes to my hair, but I truly have no notes for my cut and color. My hair is perfect and is exactly what I asked for. My cut and color took about 2.5h (long layers with face framing pieces + solid color all over) and the blowout Charlie (her assistant) gave me was perfection! Both Josephine and Charlie really made me feel so comfortable and welcome the moment I walked into the salon as well. Safe to say, I'm confident I've found my new salon home & can't wait to come back! read more

Josephine is a perfectionist, it's no wonder I've been her client for over ten years now! Where she goes, I go, and you better believe you will too if you're onboarded as one of her new clients! Every session I've had is perfection, with loads of attention to detail, and quality of products and service. I couldn't be more thankful for my recent look, but here's to even more looks, and fun convos with a girl after my own heart, Josephine. Highly, highly, highly recommend! Cheers to hair that speaks volumes on its own Yelpers xx read more

Hair dye virgin here! Wanted to get balayage done since the pandemic, but kept shying away from the idea due to the fear of getting something I didn't like or ask for. I booked an appointment for Josephine after reading many positive reviews from others. Booking was easy, I just reached out on yelp and we figured out a good date, sent her a picture of my hair in its current state and inspiration photo and we were good to go. I immediately knew I was in good hands stepping into her studio as Josephine greeted me with such a sweet, welcoming and warm energy. She evaluated my hair and went in depth the explain everything from process, technique, and color suggestion based on my virgin hair. I was worried of getting something too visibly strong and wanted to keep the highlights as natural as possible that complimented my base color. Well SHE DELIVERED!! The highlights were subtle but very visible when I went outside and got tons of compliments! Very happy with the result. Parking: On sunday mornings (8am), there is PLENTY of street parking right outside and across the street. Josephine also has 2 spots or so in the guest lot right behind her studio that you can find through the side alleyway. I just parked in the back since the appointment was around 5 hours and I didn't want to worry about checking my car. For hair dye virgins and anyone looking for balayage, go to Josephine!! She is a hair genius. read more

Just to give you an idea of how quick and easy communication is with Josephine: I sent a cut and color inquiry on Friday night, secured an appointment with her on Saturday morning and found myself on her chair Sunday morning. I was a first time client but Josephine and her assistant, Charlie, made me feel right at home. I told them what I wanted and they delivered.... even while handling 3 other clients at the same time. Super impressed, extremely happy and I 100000000% will return. So glad I found my go-to hair salon that is only 5 minutes from home! read more

It's been almost two years since I got my hair done, Josephine made me feel whole again, thank you !!!

Josephine is amazing! She gave me the best haircut and blowout possibly ever- my hair is healthy and bouncy and I am so happy with it. I have also gotten so many compliments. I am so happy I found her- she will make you look and feel beautiful. Thank you Josephine!! read more

I haven't colored my hair in a long time due to a bad experience. After seeing the reviews and pictures, I decided to give this place a try. I contacted Josephine through Yelp and I got very lucky with an opening. I sent her a picture of my hair and a picture of what I wanted. It was meant to be. Believe the great reviews because they are true. Josephine is professional, responsive and warm. She did an amazing job on my hair. She was able to do a beautiful caramel balayage with no bleach (of course this will depend on your hair situation). The price was reasonable (and worth it) and I will definitely be going back. Also loved Charlie and her styling. I've gotten so many compliments. Everyone says it looks beautiful and natural. Love it. read more

Was looking for a hair stylist that understood how to work with pin straight Asian hair, and I got exactly that! Josephine gave me an amazing haircut and gave me precisely what I wanted based on the inspo pics that I showed her. She was able to frame my face nicely while giving volume in my hair, which is difficult to achieve with straight hair like mine. I plan to come back regularly for my haircuts! read more

Josephine is absolutely incredible! I am so glad to have found her and trusted her with her work. I told her exactly what I needed and she delivered everything in the best possible way (face framing layers, cut the length, long layers in the back and overall a lighter feel). Also, her pricing is very honest for the LA market!! read more

Was greeted with a warm welcome by Josephine, who was so quick and easy to contact and schedule an appt! I wanted to keep my length but was in desperate need of shaping my cut. I'm low maintenance and needed skillful cuts that allow me to wear my hair naturally, with minimal styling. Josephine did a great job with my curtain bangs and layers, and was also cared for and given a great blow-out, by assistant Charlie. Josephine's skills definitely show, and hair now feels full, bouncy, healthy and flattering. Such a great experience! read more

I've been going to Josephine for several years now, and she is still fantastic! She remains truly professional, and an impeccable hair stylist. There is a reason why I never bother trying out new hair stylists anymore and that is because Josephine remains at the top of the game. She is so friendly, and very quick to schedule an appointment. When people ask me for a recommendation in LA I always send them straight to her! read more

I have thick wavy hair and it can be difficult to cut. For a long time, I was looking to find a hair stylist who knows how to cut my hair until I found Josephine. I like to keep my hair long with long layers and she knows exactly how to cut and shape my hair while understanding the texture. This way it's easy for me to manage and maintain and it grows out nicely. She cares about my hair and focuses on giving me the best hair cut possible and what I like and the bonus is she's very nice too. I highly recommend Josephine! read more

The experience at Josephine's was great. Josephine and Charlie are incredibly talented, gave a wonderful wash with relaxing massage, detailed and perfected cut and stylish dry. Even got a sweet hug at the end. Highly recommend read more

I got a haircut with Josephine today and I gave her a vision and a guide to what I want/don't want and she followed through perfectly. She's perfect for those who are anxious about scissor-happy stylists, she listened to me when I wanted to keep most of my length. Taking her time, I felt so much more confident with my trust in her hands (literally). When we discussed possibly getting color in my virgin jet black hair, she gave me a realistic standard of exactly what to expect. Clearly, she has a track record of stunning results, and I am privileged to be one of her happy returning clients. Happy to find a stylist specializing in Asian hair on the Westside!!! read more

Absolutely incredible! Josephine is simply a joy!! I have dark thick Asian hair and wanted to try going blonde a la balayage! Josephine was able to take me there without destroying my hair and while also matching exactly what I was looking for!! Her cheerful personality, passion, and precision made my first time going blonde and getting any salon color treatment incredibly fun! I knew I had put myself in good hands immediately! She truly is patient and so so detail oriented and dedicated to making your hair look the best. I also learned a ton from the entire experience! Josephine is incredibly knowledgeable about her craft and answered every question I had about the ins and outs of coloring hair and knew how to give a fantastic balayage that would fit my hair and complexion. I came out of the appointment 110% satisfied and felt that it made the work it took to go to blonde absolutely worth!! We were both excited about the final outcome!! read more

I never write reviews, and especially not with pictures of my face, but I really have to for this one. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Genuinely Josephine is the best hair stylist/colorist/tech that I have ever known. I'm rarely a repeat customer and I have been going to her salon for a few years now because she's really just THAT good. She implements what you want with what's realistic and would look good for you specifically. I'm an artist with high expectations and she still blows me away every. Single. Time. At this point I have gotten my hair colored, treated (Brazilian), and cut by her and I could not recommend anyone better for all of it. She's magic. read more

Where do I start?! I have been going to Josephine for 4 years straight now and she has changed the game for my hair. To give context, I was pretty much a brunette going into college, and Josephine has since taken me blonde, platinum blonde, warm blonde, back to brunette, and now blonde again. She is a perfectionist and will do the best possible job she can on making your hair live up to its potential. I would trust her with my life, thank you Josephine!! read more

So thankful I decided to wait and get my hair done by Josephine. She is such a pleasure and she's passionate about being a colorist. Going from natural dark brown Asian hair to vibrant purple/pink is not a trivial task but Josephine really knew what she was doing. She carefully painted the bleach on my hair to ensure the bleach was at the requested height on my head (balayage). She validated the colors with me prior to applying (purple to pink ombre)...honestly came out better than I could have imagined. To top it off, my hair feels just as healthy as it did before all the processing! I've already received so many compliments (which is saying a lot seeing as I don't interact with many people these days!). Was such a wonderful experience and a pleasant way to spend a day. Btw - she's super busy so try to book in advance! Also, there's a cancellation policy - aka be respectful of her time and understand this is how she makes a living. Fun fact - she loves boba. Snagged one on my way as a small token of appreciation for all the work she was going to do! Would recommend! :) read more

Josephine cut my hair and she did an amazing job. Just what I asked her for. She was friendly and nice! We got to it right on time. Easy parking in the residential area just behind the shop. She cut, then washed, then cut some more and was very meticulous about it. Loved my experience! read more

Josephine is seriously my fairy godmother! She transformed my unhealthy hair that had suffered through postpartum hair loss and regrowth with no haircut for over a year into a masterpiece. I feel like a new mama! I absolutely love the golden caramel balayage and cut she gave me. Josephine was amazing to work with and helped really explain what my hair was capable of. She knows her stuff! She was professional yet so fun to talk with throughout the appointment and really made you feel relaxed. Highly recommend! read more

I love my haircut from Josephine! Her salon is close to UCLA and is reasonably priced.

Josephine is truly a miracle worker! So happy I found her on Yelp. After being told by numerous stylists that my hair was "too difficult" (I have brown hair and the highlights people gave me kept coming out orange...) Josephine was able to transform my hair because she's THAT good! She was willing to really listen to what I wanted and tweak it when necessary to get it right. Can't recommend her highly enough. But get an appointment whenever you can, she's books up quick. Been waiting for months to get in with her but it's worth it! read more

the way i would trust josephine with my LIFE!!! since my last post in aug 2022 when she took my hair from black to blonde, i've gone back to get my hair cut and my roots redone and she was perfect each time. this week it was time for my annual rebranding so obviouslyyy i went back to her again! asked her to take my horrendously grown out blonde to a reddish brown, and also wanted to try wispy bangs and a butterfly cut. josephine went above and beyond again and made my hair look better than i ever could have imagined!! i thought it'd be hard for her to top how hard she slayed my black to blonde transformation last year but she is fr the best and i'm so so happy w how my hair looks. and ofc aside from her talent, she's an amazing, attentive and kind person!!! even if i lived hours away, i'd make the drive to have my hair done for josephine forever! read more

I AM IN LOVE!! Josephine was the best stylist I have ever met! I have always wanted to do Balayage but when I approached so many stylist they turned down and told me they could not achieved what I wanted.

She answered all my questions without a doubt. She's an experienced stylist and you can trust your hair with her. I have never encountered a stylist that was filled with so much knowledge and passion about hair. Josephine loves hair and you can see she peaks into the little details of your hair when many don't think it's a big deal. If you ever need a makeover or any services at all, I would highly recommend! I am so happy with the results of my hair! You should give her a try!!

Wow. Okay, so I could just leave my before and after here and say nothing else, but I do want to praise Josephine a little more than that. She is incredibly meticulous, focused on getting you what you actually are looking to get, and takes her time and tons of effort to make that happen. She is beyond sweet, so fun to talk to, and all around, an incredible person. Truly a master at what she does and is as happy as you are when you get the results you're looking for. I've been dying my hair for 20 years and she's the best one who has ever done it - which should say a lot. I've found my hair godmother and could not be happier. read more
