This review is on my girl Liz Jung... I must say I have easily highlightable hair, and yet somehow, my desire to be blonde was unattainable. Like legit... no one in LA could get it right (and I've been to all the celebrity colorists). I've had orange hair, tan hair, beige hair, but never that golden blonde hair I KNEW I COULD GET. As I was moping on the stair master one day at the gym, with 6 inches of roots in search of a new colorist, in comes this beauty with amazing blonde hair!. I asked her who did it, she said Tracy Cunningham who won't take any new clients, but her former assistant Liz is now doing hair. Not knowing anyone who went to her, I took a leap of faith..... and 3 years later I am literally the happiest girl on earth with my hair. I get stopped on the street almost DAILY asking who highlights my hair. True story. I'm a client who knows exactly what I want and Liz delivers.... EVERY TIME. This chick knows what she's doing. Worth every penny. Love u Liz! read more

I was looking into hair extensions, and I've had my reservations about them for a while because I've heard horror stories. I found Alex at Meche on instagram over a year ago, and I've been getting extensions with him since! His work is absolutely stunning, and each set is better than the last because my hair has grown so much while the extensions have been in! The hair he uses is amazing quality, I even get compliments from strangers on my hair! The salon has a great positive vibe, I can tell all the stylists get along with each other and the other stylists are really friendly with me while I'm in. Highly recommend Alex and Meche! read more

Michelle is the BEST person I've ever been to for color and highlight. I've gotten my hair done so many times since I've been 15 (I'm 25) and Michelle did the best job, I didn't even know it could look so great. Also Rebecca, she styled my hair....this woman has such talent! She gave me the most stunning waves with just a round brush and a blow dryer. Both amazing artists! 100% will be back read more

Today was my first time to Meche, I have been looking for a new and reliable stylist for a bit of time now and I couldn't be happier with the work of Guy Riggio. Solid dude, great cut, great overall experience. I am incredibly grateful read more

Two words: Chris Greene! I went to Chris at Meche after I got a bad color job from my old (now former) stylist. He made me feel comfortable immediately with his warm, friendly, and professional demeanor. He listened attentively as I described the color I wanted and asked me excellent follow-up questions. After a thorough consultation I relaxed, sat back and let him work his magic. WOW!!!!! He exceeded all my expectations (and I'm very particular!)...and created the exact, natural, sun-kissed, "you, only better" base and highlight color I wanted. I mean, exactly. Nailed it. How many stylists do you know that can deliver the exact results you're looking for, especially as a first-time client? Exactly...none! Until Chris! I was impressed by how thoroughly attentive Chris was during entire process, checking on my hair frequently during the "waiting" periods (when you're under the heat dryer, etc). I also appreciated his fun, positive spirit and his absolute commitment to making you, and your hair look fabulous. When you leave his chair, he wants you looking and feeling beautiful, with a big smile on your face. And that's exactly what happened. I'm now a Chris Greene loyalist -thank you Chris! read more

No one better in LA (or maybe even NYC!) for color than Jacob. He just gets it and always has the right vision and magic touch that will give you the color of your dreams. Austin and Beau also do amazing beachy wave blowouts that last for days! Love the whole vibe here and the team has always been super kind and attentive. read more

0 stars!!! READ TILL END I PROMISE THIS WILL SAVE YOUR HAIR! So I contacted VIOLET on DM on Instagram and told her I would love to get an appointment with her, so she brought me in and told me everything would cost around 4 thousand dollars, So I told her if she did any type of collaboration and she said no really but what I can do is charge you for the hair which is 100% Russian hair and is AMAZINGG! That would be $ 2,500 And she wouldn't charge me for the manual labor in exchange for us to post her on our IG! Which was $1,500 I agreed. I went in and I told her if the extensions would cause any harm to my hair. She said NO!!! That's why these are so expensive.. she said she had a technique that was amazing and wouldn't harm my hair. Once we were done, I sent her payment and went home. 2 days later my scalp was killing me itching me, & I couldn't stand it. I dmed her on IG to tell her my concerns and she said that's not normal, wash it and see how it goes... if it keeps bothering you come in. The killing on my scalp went away a few days after, At first I thought was normal as she stated that it would be uncomfortable in the very first days. 1 & half months later, I was so tired of wearing them, I felt like I had pounds of hair and my scalp couldn't take it, I heard VIOLET had just had a baby so I made an appointment with another salon to take off the extensions she warned me that it looked like my scalp had GLUE. Maybe because the extensions itself have something to make all the hairs stay together (The tip of each individual extension). Then they go in the metal part that is attached to your hair. (Check pic) and she said my hair where the extensions came off looked green and white, and a bit sticky, I thought this can't be!! And made my hair look like it had glue? I tried not to FREAK out... and told her what should we do? Violet didn't mention anything like this to me.. this is all new? She usually cobs the hair section by section but she was to afraid to comb it since it looked like my hair (MY ACTUAL SCALP HAIR) looked loose at the root... she said I had a bunch of hairs that looked like I had trimmed them to close to my scalp! I CRIED! She said all the extensions are off... I can't comb because I don't want to be responsible for the loose of your hair. I went in to my shower and thought my hair would be fine if I just wash it slowly and not brush! I went to the store bought good shampoos and conditioner and washed my hair... with cold water in the shower.... I ALMOST DIED.... my hair was completely falling OUT! YES OUT OF MY SCALP! I was not combing, not brushing. I just washed it with my hands and the hair was all over the bathtub, the water stopped leaving and it started to look like I was taking a bath! The bath tub was plugged wit my hair! I LOST HALF OF MY HAIR!!! I FREAKED OUT and shut the shower and tried to call VIOLET... the women that installed my extensions 1 month a half prior... with NO response. I TEXTED.. no response. I dmed her (Usually she dmed me back within 5 minutes) this time she hasn't even opened my DM on Instagram. I called the salon to see if they can contact her, they gave me instead her assistant phone number, and she actually answer... she had no idea who I was. I told her I was in the middle of washing my hair but I stopped due to the fact that I was loosing my hair.. that I didn't know what to do... and VIOLET wouldn't respond to my calls/ messages/ dms. What should I do? Keep showering? Rinse my hair? Not touch it?? What... what should I do? At this point I knew I had lost half of my hair already(Where my extensions where) because the top part where the extensions where not installed, that part the hair wasn't FALLING OFF!! She said that's not NORMAL! I'm going to 3 way call violet and see if she picks up I want her to hear what your telling me! (NO ANSWER FROM VIOLET) then she said I'm going to try to text her she will respond for sure!(|DIDNT RESPOND) according to her assistant! She said I PROMISE I will call you back a soon as she (violet responds.)All that day I was crying! Terrified I was going to be bald. Not once did her assistant or violet call, text to see how I was doing! The assistant who said I PROMISE TO CALL YOU BACK didn't call back! I texted her and told her she had promise to check back and didn't!! Her response (She's out of town) !! NEVER DID I HEAR BACK AFTER THAT! I tried reaching a manager at the salon... guess what there is NEVER a manager when I tried to talk to one??... seriously? No MANAGER? How does this happen in such prestige salon! Where I paid SO much money? I paid so I can loose half my hair?? And then for them not to even talk to me and guide me or tell me what might of cause this? SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I had thick ....THICK hair before this! I just had it short so I wanted length! What a nightmare!!! the extensions looked great in..... but after there out... GOD HELP ME!!! read more

Im not sure where to start. Honestly this was a shitty experience. My colorist was 1. On her phone to her roommate gossiping at some point while she was doing my hair 2. Left for 45 minutes with 25% og the highlight job left so her assistants had to start washing out the color and then she came back and did the rest. I showed pictures of what I would like to get to, I'm blonde but wanted to go blonder (I showed old pictures of myself so not something crazy) but said I don't want to compromise my hairs health and I actually mentioned it 10 times during the process because I was nervous. My hair is like gum now. It's fried and over processed, also this is what the highlights look like all over, I havnt had edges like that since I went to trainees more than 10 years ago. I'm super sad because I chose this salon for its reputation and because I am so scared to damage my hair. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever been more uncomfortable and had a worse highlight job done ever? I went to Liz btw. Her assistants were really sweet though and the only thing that made the experience a little better. read more

BOOK WITH ADRIANA! I went to Adriana after having my hair color messed up multiple times in the matter of 2 months. Thank god I found her! She is amazing with color and keeping the integrity of my hair. Also, she is the only colorist that has ever offered to fix it if there was something I wasn't 100% comfortable with; which made me trust her even more. I did go back to blend some face framing highlights the following week. When she saw me, she noticed she wanted to add a little more low lights. By offering to do that, she made me feel confident in her work because she went the extra mile to accommodate me and made sure my hair was perfect! Thank you Adriana!! read more

I used to get my hair done here before the Coronapocalypse and can't wait to go back. Liz is a maven with blondes and Chelsea is fantastic with hair extensions. I miss having my hair done here. read more

Jacob Schwartz at Meche Salon ABSOLUTELY EXCEEDED my expectations. Not only did he make me feel comfortable and taken care of, but he worked very hard to ensure that I got the color I asked for. I was quite nervous as I hadn't gotten my hair color-treated since 2010. I went in with a picture of Jessica Biel's very natural-looking balayage and he was super nice about it and willing to oblige. His attention to detail came through so much in the final product and he was very communicative and professional throughout my entire experience. He matched my hair to the picture, exactly as I asked, and really made me feel like I "owned" it with my own personal style. I highly recommend Jacob Schwartz at Meche. Thank you Jacob! read more

I saw Adriana for my color and Malcolm for my style and cut. They were both amazing! Adriana had a lot of work on her hands as I had just got my hair colored by a friend who did a terrible job. My hair was brassy, uneven, the tone was all wrong for my skin tone and the highlights were thick and stripe-y. But she went to work and walked me through every step so I knew what was happening and felt comfortable with it. She completely fixed the color and it's now in a spot where I won't need color for another 5+ months. I'm so happy with it. Malcolm then took me over and balanced out my cut perfectly. When there was about an inch difference to each side. He was so precise and so kind during the whole process it was so nice to feel taken care of at a salon. I highly recommend both of them! read more

Stellar. Worth every star. Been coming to the the salon for past two years for now. I'm usually level 7 brown hair gal, last year I went thru major hair metamorphosis and I'll never do it again... I got my hair permed twice, once in March and October and I decided to go blonde in November??? I mean very blonde. After a year of being blonde, I decided to go back to brown again. The process took little over 3 hours and I'm happy with the look. Thanks to my hair rescue squad, Liz and her amazing assistants!!! read more

My favorite salon! I've been going here since January 2016! My colorist is Liz Jung! I have been a client for a year and a half !! I've spent lots of hours and days here coming as a client due to my hair being highlighted blonde and my natural hair being black! They do the best blondes! If you want to be blonde - this is where you need to go! They do many services here including extensions, cuts, color, styling, and I've seen people do nails here too! It is def on the expensive side of salons but you do get what you pay for and they do a really amazing job! There are many talented stylists here and this place is a star studded salon! The owners of the salon are celebrity stylists but you'll see them here often! :) if you want to go blonde - or get a really really good haircut or color - you have to come to Meche! read more

My stylist recommended I see Adriana after I told him I felt too blonde for my liking (from my previous colorist) and wanted to look more blended and natural. I went to Adriana for a consultation and then for a single process and she just GOT IT. She took my skin tone and eye color into consideration when mixing and applying the color and it was like magic. She understood what I was looking for, walked me through her process, was attentive, and styled me after. I absolutely love my hair and will definitely be visiting Adriana in the future! read more

I have been a client at Mèche for almost two years now. I have very dark hair and wanted to go blonde. My colorist is Liz Jung. She is, in my opinion, one of the best in the business. I am always amazed at the results every time she does her magic on my hair. Cons: - The atmosphere is what you would expect a high-end Beverly-Hills salon to be. - The price tag (however, you do get what you pay for). read more

On Feb 05, 2019, I left Meche feeling extremely disappointed, so I decided to convey my experience directly to the owner & on Feb 13, I called to speak with Neil Weisberg. Reception took down my info & later Sierra the manager called stating Neil had asked her to call me. The Haircut That Never Was! So recently, I was reading about dry haircuts, thinking they might be the solution to my problem because I have wavy/curly hair & have had several hairdressers shape my ends unevenly. I think this is because when my hair dries naturally it bounces up more in certain sections, than in other sections, thus wearing my hair "all natural", letting it air dry, does not produce clean lines as when it is wet, blow-dried or flat-ironed. Often times my haircuts appear as if a section of hair is missing out of the ends... as if a weed-whacker attacked it or some feral animal came and took a bite out of it. To be honest its as if I have two different textures of hair on my head, with the hair underneath, at the nap of neck being way more curly than the hair on top of my head, i.e. the hair which falls from the crown. Thus what I was seeking was a haircut that would allow me to wear my hair natural, a low maintenance haircut to correct the previous one, point being to at least get a haircut that is cut straight rather than having a concave chunk at the back. So previously, having been a customer at Neil George & to Meche when they first opened it had been awhile since I'd been to Meche because I live in Irvine & driving to LA just for a haircut is pretty hectic. However, I have been seeing some doctors at Cedars-Sinai and one day it occurred to me that I should just organize all my hair salon treatments on days when I am at Cedars, & when I read Meche's profiles & saw that Alissa & Buddy specialize in dry cuts I got really excited & made an appt with Alissa for Feb 06. I did not make an appt for the 5th because the procedure I was having at Cedars was a 3-6 hr procedure and so had no idea how to gage the time...in any case I got my appoint for the 6th and was very happy but when I asked reception if Alissa could do my color as well I was told she does not do color. So reception said they would see who else they had available and started talking about getting color done before the haircut and I said well that won't work because I want a dry haircut (did not want my hair washed and blow dried 2x) because I thought the whole point of dry hair cut was to have the hair fall naturally, so I thought it would be best if I got the dry haircut, then the color, then the wash but reception couldn't figure out how to schedule it so I said, its ok never mind, I'll just get the haircut. On Feb 5, 2019 I was up at 5am and left home at 5:30am and spent 1:45 min in traffic to get to LA. My procedure at Cedars finished earlier than expected so I thought why don't I just pop into Meche & talk them in person. I arrived 12:15pm & asked reception if Alissa had any openings for that day & she had a 2:45pm, so I deliberated thinking, I can wait here 2.5 hours now or I can spend another 3-4 hrs commuting tomorrow, so I decided to take the appt & just wait. Reception told me I could go shopping but I said I was tired & was going to go take a nap in my car. FYI my car was parked on the street directly in front of the salon. So I went to my car & made calls. 2 hrs goes by & I'm thinking oh I better go use the little girls room, so I walk in and they say oh we've been calling you to let you know Alissa had to leave! I'm like, sorry what? Reception, then proceeds to tell me that Alissa had an emergency & left about 15 minutes ago. I check, I have no missed calls, so I ask reception what number they have & they read out a phone # from 6 ys ago. I said, you don't even my current phone number & the girl said, it wouldn't have changed anything, she just left 15 min ago.... I said well I've been right outside the front door sitting in my car this whole time, for over 2 hrs. So ok yes, Alissa had an emergency, stuff happens, I get that, but reception making a booking 1x over the phone & 1x in person & not checking if the phone # is correct is inexcusable. Sierra told me reception deosn't check numbers. You got to be kidding. Strange cause most every office I call to make an appt with actually does take the initiative to make sure ones phone number is up to date, never mind I was literally 20 feet away from the reception desk the whole time. So not only 2 hs of my time wasted sitting in a car but also in that time I had rescheduled my calendar for Feb 6. All I can say is if I owned a salon & had a customer making the effort to drive 1.5-2 hrs each way just to get to my salon & had a customer waiting for 2 hs for a haircut that never was, I would surely try & make-it up to them and offer them some kind of goodwill gesture, 50% off a haircut or service, but Meche did nothing, offered me nothing! read more

I hate going to a salon feeling all hyped up about my color or cut and then leaving disappointed because it was not what I wanted. This was the first time in a long time that I have to say I left the salon feeling elated. I couldn't stop looking in the mirror and it was all thanks to Adriana. She is by far the best colorist there is and I have been to many top salons. She listened to what I wanted, and took into consideration that for my hair I not only wanted it to look fabulous but wanted it to stay healthy. After she was done, I was amazed!!! She did exactly what I wanted with her added special touches. I will never go to anyone else again, and what is so great I don't have to go get highlights every month. The way Adriana does your highlights, you don't have to go in for at least 4 mos or more,......You want the best go to Adriana!!!! read more

If you are need of color correction then Liz is your gal! I had a terrible horrifying experience at a "hip" silverlake salon where I was trying to go blonde from dark brown. To save you all from the horrid details, in short, she panel bleached by hair with bleach and it lifted 50 different colors. I was in tears for 3 days straight before finally finding Liz. In three sitting and as gently as she could lifted me to the light and bright blonde I am today and could not be more thankful! Also, had a fab cut from the great Stacy Ho! If you are experiencing a hair emergency, Liz and Stacy are your gals read more

Meche - This is the first step from muddy green brown orange hair to blonder then life! - Hair Salons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

This salon is rockin! Seriously I've never seen a more active salon. I booked a cut with Guy and he really took the time to listen to what I wanted, study my face, study my hair and then went over what he thought would be best for me. I truly felt like he cared about what he was doing and I knew I was in the best of hands. The front desk girls could be a little friendlier but I guess that's just how it goes at these places read more

Meche - Fresh cut from Guy - Hair Salons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

When I needed to be sure my highlights were going to be done perfectly for an event that same night, I picked up the phone and called Meche. It's pricey, but when you just can't risk having whack hair that then needs to be fixed, you call the best. The receptionist seamlessly hooked me up w an appointment with Rich after I quickly explained what I was looking for. My hair framing highlights are PERFECTION... it was so easy breezy and relaxing knowing I'm in great hands. All I had to do was walk in a say a few words and Rich got it right away. He was kind and friendly wout talking too much or being nosey or acting precious. I had such a lovely experience w everyone at the salon. I'm so happy to have found Rich! read more

$275 for partial highlights and I was told I had to blow dry my own hair because my colorist and her assistant were too busy. Are you kidding me? This salon seems to think that quantity over quality is the way they should go. My colorist was rushed to finish applying the color while another client was already waiting. Because she was juggling 3 clients during my appointment, my own hair ended up over processed because no one could get to rinsing out the color at the right time. While I was brushing out my OWN hair after the color was washed out, whole clumps of white blonde strands were breaking into the brush, the color far too light and the damage obvious. And to add insult to injury, the assistant was adamant that the only person who could blow dry my hair would require scheduling a stylist to do it. What, nearly 300 dollars isn't enough to see what the results are before I walk out the salon? I'm actually embarrassed to have come here. What a sham of a business. Sure, you might have talented people Meche, but treating your clients like cattle is just rude. read more

I just called Meche salon to book appointment with Tracey for a colour I saw and wanted The girl "Receptionist answering the phone" said Tracey is not taking anymore clients But, she was a bit rude Hence the 1 star and after getting off the phone I read up on some reviews You never know who you are talking to on the phone read more

Adriana is the best colorist I've ever been to. After moving from NY to LA, I was nervous about finding a new colorist and I am so happy I found her. I visited Meche for a consult and she let me know exactly what her plan was. She noted what needed to be changed and how she'd improve the color, dimension, and health of my hair. I returned 2 weeks later, and after 5 (!) hours, my hair never looked better. As a blonde, she eliminated the brassiness, corrected my color, and colored my hair in a way that would allow for less frequent visits. She's great! read more

JACOB IS THE MAN!!!!! I went from black hair from a can to blonde and beautiful!!!! I never thought I could go blonde!!! (it was a mere dream till he bestowed his magic touch upon me!!!!)

Basically all I'm saying is run don't walk to get your hair properly quaffed read more

This salon BURNT my HAIR, leaving me under heat for too long. They have done absolutely NOTHING to try to fix it. It took me over A YEAR to RECOVER it. I decided to give the salon my trust again a year after, they REFUSED to do my hair as they didn't appreciate that I warn them about not burning it again. A SHAME! I was a client for years. The Manager didn't own it. I would NOT recommend this address. read more

At Any given time expect to see celebs getting their hair done along with the rest of us folk. This place has no ego and has a very relaxed non pretentious feel with the upscale ambience. Jasmine who does hair cut is great and always knows exactly what I want. When you say cut 1 inch, she only cuts 1 inch. Adrienne who does color is fantastic with dark hair. I loved that she knew what tones worked well with my skin and steered me the right away for my highlights. Even when I felt a little nervous, she took the time to re do parts that j was unsure about just to ease my anxiety. Although it is def on the pricier side for hair cuts and color, it is worth every penny to know you will be walking out with exactly what you wanted and the best you can look! Love this place! read more

So, I have yet to write a Yelp review but nearly two months later my hair is still a mess. So I am VERY particular about my hair (especially when it comes to cuts) as I have very fine hair and not every style works with my hair especially LAYERS. So I heard great things about this salon and decided to try it. They recommended Hannah to me, so I went to her. Basically, at the beginning of the cut we talked about what I wanted specifically, and how I did NOT want layers and how it would NOT work at all with my hair, we even laughed about it. But somehow, I ended up with MASSIVE layers in my hair and it literally looks like I have two different cuts, long in the back and short in the front. I am still upset and I can tell that this will take a very long time to grow out and look thicker like it used to. My hair is now thinned (and its already thin) and just looks bad. Update: Its been 14 months since that haircut and I STILL cannot grow out these awful uneven layers. I am beyond livid. I don't know how this woman is employed at this salon. Update #2 as of 2/28/18: Still mad about this, my hair will never grow it out because it's too unhealthy to grow. Can't cut it because then the length difference between the front and back of my hair would be too much. By the way, it's been almost 2.5 years. Do NOT GO TO HANNAH read more

I went to Meche because my colorist in NYC referred my to one of her stylist friends here. I came in with my exact Redken formula in hand having had this color done many times before. The salon itself is super posh even though there was maintenance being done while I was there including drilling and other obnoxious noises which caused one lone dog to bark. Its lofty and airy which natural lighting which allows everyone to check out everyone else. There was a lot of this going on. It didn't seem too pretentious though everyone is eager to watch Tracey's work on some want to be or over the hill BH housewife. I stayed to get my color done twice since the first time didn't come out as hoped. I didn't end up loving my color and I thought for sure I would walk out with nothing short of amazing. Meche salon just left me feeling MEh. FYI parking is in back down the alley instead of feeding a hungry meter out front. read more

Chris Greene is absolutely fantastic for color. I'm a brunette with lots of blonde highlights. I was a Marie Robinson devotee for many years in NYC (at Sally Hershberger and then at her salon) and then a Justin Anderson loyalist (at Chris McMillan) in LA. Both excellent. When Justin went out of town, I let a friend/hairdresser highlight my hair. Bad decision. I emergency-called Meche and they set me up with Chris, who not only fixed my color flawlessly but made my hair look maybe the best it has ever been. I'm not only relieved, I feel really gorgeous. He knows his stuff 100%. You can trust him, the real deal. Also, he's a sweetie. I'm going to make him my permanent colorist! read more

Tracey is the best colorist in LA. Hell, on earth. Period. Probably Mars too. She's the Queen and you are beyond lucky if you get her to tint your tresses. A true master. Red is her specialty, but she can do anything. Colorists from all over the world come to Tracey for training and classes. Her assistants are amazing too....kind, funny, efficient, helpful....everyone who works at the salon are at their best. The vibe in the salon is great. It's a beautiful space, always busy, lively and the music is good without commercials (I'm sorry, but commercials drive me cray cray). And I don't know if there's some Guinness Book of World Record™ for Most Impressive Magazines at a Salon, but if so, Meche would get it. In sheer volume, variety and freshness...all the latest issues of all mags you'd want to read. (My last salon had 2 8-month old Vogues and a couple of Gourmet Magazines with half the pages ripped out.) And there is zero attitude, which is hard to find in a LA salon with endless A list celeb clients. They never make you feel like the nobody you are. Just go already. Tip #1: The massage therapist Terra Hiroyuki is the real deal. Get a neck and shoulder rub or reflexology while you wait. Tip #2: The Latina women with the food basket always hits the spot. The food is fresh, tasty and affordable. I get the pomegranate seeds or the mango. Tip #3: Love the green or mint iced tea. Tip #4: If you can't get in or Tracey is out of town, Michelle and Chris are amazing colorists too. Tip #5: There's valet parking in the back but there is usually ample side street parking if you'll be there 2 hours or less. read more
