Salon De Jeunesse

Lynn Phan is an artist. I recently received a balayage service with her at this salon. After 7 years of black/​brown hair, I was ready for a change. She is gentle and takes her time as she only books one client at a time. The outcome was subtle. Not quite what I was going for in terms of the color but that has more to do with my hair. I will definitely return!

Ricki is the best! I go here for relaxers, but she also does an amazing press and curl. I can know that I’ll always leave the salon looking good. Ricki is a big advocate of hair care and growing your hair out. She’s also open to different products until she finds the one that works best for you. The salon overall is very nice and new looking.

Made a schedule with Ricki Howard. Called the day before I was suppose to get it done to make sure everything was okay. Thankfully. Because she wasn’t even going to be there. Says she wasn’t even in the city!!! Wtf!!!

Best hi-​light/​color blending EVER!!! Had lots of hi-​lights done at lots of places, but never such a perfect blending of new colors with what I already had! Will definitely be back; now I know I could never be happy anywhere else! You’re the best Lolita!

I come here to get my hair done with my mom with hair stylist Lolita. She is a great hairstylist. If you want a good blow dry, hair cut or color she the one to go to. My personal favorite is the curly blowdries she does. It is a great environment to be in.

I love coming here. Lolita does the best hair and a great blow dry. I even come here for special occasions so she can blow dry and style my hair. Not to mention she is as sweet as can be!

I’ve been coming to this salon over 2 ½ years. When I walked into this salon I knew I was going to enjoy my 3 hour long hair makeover lol.
This salon is organized, clean, modern and welcoming. It is located in a great neighborhood (Arcadia) and has parking in the back :). Everything is in its place and employees are friendly.
Lolita the owner and my stylist is talented and did the exact look that I wanted to go for. She is very honest and knows what treatments are good for your type of hair.
P. s. They have facial treatments, spa, and nail bar.

My favorite salon! I’ve been a costumer here for 7yrs now, cant imagine going anywhere else. Lolita is my favorite, shes been doing my hair since i was a little girl :) thats how i found this place. I love that its more then just a hair salon, they also do manis & pedis here, and facials by Joyee, love her! Always leaves my skin flawless. Im very happy with this place and highly recommend it! Everyone is super friendly, parking is convienent, and best of all walk ins are accepted.

Rudy is a fantastic stylist. My daughter loves his styling and suggestions on how create her perfect hair cut.

Ask and you shall receive. Looking for a good haircut, then ask for Lolita. I’m new to the area and have been searching for that perfect stylist since leaving the SFV. I was all about Rudy’s over in Studio City, but have since moved to the SGV. Even though the place caters mainly to women, guys should not be skeptical. Lolita is the only one I have tried here twice. And both times she delivered leaving a smile on my face.
** I wrote this over a year ago, but haven’t been back since. That was my experience then, so don’t hold it against me.

I had a very pleasant experience with Loret at Salon De Jeunesse. I had purchased a voucher for the very same services, cut, color, and style. Loret delivered a very lovely cut and color for me along with a foil for the front of my hair for a reasonable price for the amount of product used. My cut was gorgeous, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she refreshed my long layers and was able to save most of the length of my hair since I had not been in for a cut in months. I was very pleased with Loret’s professionalism and personality. I was in and out farily quickly and did not have to wait in between other clients. The only downside was the extra charge for longer hair but it was understandable as I do have a ton of hair. Thank you Loret for helping me look like a rock star for my very first Figure competition! It was a true pleasure! I placed second and qualified for Nationals! :)

Thank goodness for business’s like Salon De Jeunesse! Everyone there is always so friendly and courteous starting with the owner, Lolita. Also, a BIG thank you to Loret for always being so flexible with me. I had scheduled a hair appointment with Loret, then I cancelled, then I changed my plans and asked her if I can still come in, of course she said yes. Thank Loret for always accommodating me! Loret is always courteous and professional, and she always makes me laugh! And the best part is I love my hair color –thank you Loret!
Lolita has a great staff at this salon and also offers a variety of services. Lolita is always professional and friendly and makes me feel very welcome in her salon. She always makes it a point to greet everyone in her salon even if your appointment is with another stylist.
The salon also offers manicure/​pedicure services. Kathy is the the BEST manicurist EVER! She always makes me feel special with her creative nail designs. Thank you Kathy for always making my nails look FABULOUS!

I’m very unhappy with Loret’s skill and personality at this salon.
I had purchased an Amazon Voucher from their salon weeks before and came by recently to redeem it. Speaking to Loret on the phone was weird at first as she has a very «My way or the highway» type of a demeanor and tone/​personality.
I am a tolerant person so I was able to handle her on the phone thinking… this will be better. «Maybe she does hair better than her personality,» I thought. I was indeed, WRONG.
Anyway, she didn’t really give me any choice for what date to come in. She just said– «OK COME in this day, I have nothing else available unless you want to wait another week.»
I needed my hair done desperately as it has been quite a while, and they had a special at their salon through Amazon so I went ahead and took a leap of faith.
— — –
Flash forward, I’m at the salon. I met Loret. And she was nice when we met which was a good start but that was the end of all the good in anything at the salon (hence, one star).
She asked me what color I wanted, I said I wanted to get my roots touched up. I didn’t know that she was going to cover up my highlights too; but low and behold she did and I ended up looking HORRIBLE and like a freak; the color was TOO dark for my face. It honestly wasn’t what I wanted and I had voiced it to her to no avail. She kept telling me, «you look so pretty. You look so nice». It was like she wasnt hearing ME (the customer and the person who’s going to sport this ‘do). Bottom line is, SHE ONLY LIKES YOU IF YOU AGREE OR ACQUEISE TO WHAT SHE WANTS!!! She’s not really the «customer first «type of a hair dresser.
I have gone to quite a few salons in my day and met up with different hairdressers and Loret DOES NOT LISTEN!!! She just does whatever she wants without an idea how you feel. I made a mistake and trusted her. I walked out of there feeling bad about my ‘do and all she said was «DONT WORRY GIVE IT A TRY. «without thinking about my feelings.
I couldn’t bare hear what she was saying. I immediately went to my old salon for them to save me and fix the issue. Thank God for my other salon — they fixed it!!! I was more than happy to pay my other salon but was kind of sad that I had to pay for TWO hairdressers this time around just because Loret wasn’t willing to listen to me. Bummer but lesson learned. No more Amazon Vouchers for me.
Another down fall — She upcharged me another $ 20 because my «hair was long and below my shoulders». It was not stated on the voucher so it felt like she had scammed me. Overall I didn’t think the service was worth it at all. I won’t use Loret again.

OVERALL: Don’t do it. Just. Don’t.
If you are thinking about buying an AMAZON VOUCHER – DO NOT BUY IT.
«Ohh, but it’s cheap! And I totally want to get pampered…» Trust. It’s not what you’d be hoping for. If you want to get pampered, do yourself a favor and go to another salon. I don’t know about you, but when I go to a salon it’s not that I can’t dye, wash, condition, dry, or curl my own hair, it’s the whole experience of having someone else take care of you and walking out feeling like a million bucks. After my first (and LAST) experience, I felt like a $ 5 street walker.
Summary of my visit: I bought a voucher, made a weekend appointment with Loret at 7AM, came with my iPad with images/​research of what I wanted. All my ideas were shot down, everything I wanted costs extra, Loret started getting frantic and it felt like she was trying to rush me out the door once people started coming into the salon (by now, I just agreed to everything and just wanted to get OUT of there ASAP anyways!), everything’s overpriced, and the worst part was when I got home to actually get a close up look at my hair I noticed that some spots of my hair roots were missed, multiple spots of my forehead skin and back of my neck skin area was dyed, and my sideburn had a huge glop of dye on my skin! I probably could’ve had my hair done better elsewhere… like in my own bathroom… by myself… in the dark! I had to clean my skin with toothpaste, shower, and re-​do my hair (all prior to a friend’s wedding). OH! I forgot to mention my highlights were botched. I wanted it very subtle, but Loret left me too long and they got too blonde. They were also uneven – two thick streaks on the sides and lots of little streaks at the top, like an aging monster of Frankenstein’s bride or something.
Needless to say, just… don’t learn the hard way like I did. I rarely pamper myself at salons and this experience just reminded me why. Yeah. I’m not coming back. You shouldn’t do that to yourself unless you’re a glutton for disappointment or something lol!
Don’t believe me? Check out the image from this post:
Want more? Read this epic fail about the Amazon Voucher:
Good:
+ Parking: street parking available (but come early, they fill up pretty quickly)
+ Location: facing out on the street, easy to find
+ Interior design/​atmosphere: nice, very clean and professional-​looking
+ Service: they offer coffee, tea, or water, and magazines
+ Fair-​sized business: has about 8 – 10 hair stations? 3 drying stations, 4 washing stations
Bad:
— Restroom: one unisex restroom, kind of out in a common area (how embarrassing! I hope the door’s soundproof!)
— Hair washing station chairs look cool, but are uncomfortable
— There’s a sign on the wall in the room where they keep robes in the back that says «We are not responsible for your missing items — Management», which makes me feel totally safe that I’m in the back reading this while my iPad’s in the front propped up for Loret to refer to (which she didn’t even need in the end)
— Overpriced… here, let me break it down for you this way:
SALON DE JEUNESSE: voucher covering shampoo/​conditioner/​rinse, dry, cut, and coloring $ 37.00 + having long hair cost extra $??? + asking for highlights costs extra $??? = $ 95.00 + (I also wanted a half-​up ‘do, but that was also extra so I opted out for that) + tip = $ 132.00-$ 150.00
DIFFERENT APPROACH FOR SIMILAR RESULTS: cut at home $ 00.00 or at a cheaper local salon $ 12.00-$ 30.00 + shampoo/​conditioner/​rinse, dry at home $ 00.00 + home dye kit $ 6.00-$ 14.00 + home highlight kit $ 6.00-$ 14.00 + curl and style any way you want at home (even a half-​up ‘do!!! That’s right! Go crazy!!!) $ 00.00 = $ 24.00-$ 58.00
I should’ve done this before hand, but check it: I MADE A SCORE SHEET! Based off of everybody’s ratings here before mine, I marked down each technician who was mentioned based on whether people said good (+) or bad (-) stuff about them and here are the results:
Eric +±+ (total: 2)
Melinda — (total: –1)
Rudy +++++ (total: 5)
Gabby + (total: 1)
Out-​of-​State Nail Technician ±± (total: 0)
Irma -+ (total: 0)
Lolita (Owner) +++±– (total: 1)
Loret –±- (total: –3)
Nicole + (total: 1)
Loi + (total: 1)
Allycin -++ (total: 1)
Anne — (total: –1)
Mari + (total: 1)
Christine ±+ (total: 1)
(Lesson: Choose wisely!)
Update: I got a message by an anonymous Unilocaler adding a — point to Loret so I updated the score sheet. Thanks «A. Y.»! Additionally, I was contacted by this salon after writing this (admittedly super long lol) negative review and they asked me if there’s anything they can do to change my mind – I said if I could get reimbursed I’m willing to change my opinion and review about this place. I was never contacted again.

Allycin did my hair. I used the living social deal & was extremely happy with my results. I had a grown out ombré blonde and she brightened up the top with great highlights since I plan to gradually move to almost full blonde. Great service. I keep receiving compliments on my color too!

I purchased their voucher on amazon and decided to give this place a try after seeing Christine’s pictures on Unilocal.Her ombré sold me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t allowed to make an appointment with her. I was only given two option as my stylist. Both ladies I didn’t see much reviews so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
The day of my appointment, I got a phone call 5 minutes before my arrival from the stylist asking if she could push my appointment 1 hr and 15 minutes later because her previous client didn’t show up on time. Even though she said if I was on my way already to the salon it would be okay but I personally thought it was unprofessional of her to push my appointment back in the very last minute because her client had an emergency.
When I arrived, i asked for a full color and a trim. I’ve been to my fair share of salons and I know the routine. Don’t wash your hair a day before you dye it. Am I right, ladies? However, for the first time ever she washed my hair, dyed, then cut. I was quite shock because I’ve never experience that before. But what do I know, I’m not a hair stylist. To my surprise, my hair color came out nice. However, I’m very unhappy with my trim. She appeared all over the place but I wanted to wait to the end to see the final results before I panic. My hair ended being choppy especially my bangs. There were sections on my bangs that were long, short, extremely long, then short. As a result, I had to fix it myself later the day.
The salon itself was spacious and nice. However, i did notice that most of their customers are much older.

This salon is great, good location easy parking, clean and modern .
They have great stylists, my favorite is Nicole she is a master at hair color and very professional and funny too :) her prices are great and she makes sure that you are satisfied with your service. Aly is also great she gives a great head massage and if you need someone to set your hair for like a special occasion or up do then Virginia is an expert at it. Best place in arcadia!

I’m the worst. I’m the type of person to go six months to a year without a haircut. Mostly because I don’t care enough to do it, but also because I haven’t found a regular shop and stylist yet since moving to the SGV with this 2-​ft. long wavy mop of mine.
I know it had been too long this time when my giant hair keeps getting stuck everywhere, so when I found what looked to be a good salon on Amazon Deals, I Unilocaled it (of course) and saw good reviews. There weren’t that many reviews for Loret or Lolita (the aestheticians offering the deal), so it was taking a chance.
I easily made an appointment with Loret on a Saturday early afternoon, which is great because of convenience. Loret was awesome. I let her know what I wanted — low maintenance — and she ran with it. She colored my hair to even it out after having highlights a few years ago, and the dark brown shade closest to my natural hair color was beautiful! She then washed and cut my hair, then did a blow-​out. I love it! It’s exactly what I wanted. I always make sure to tip well, especially with a discounted service. I would definitely go back to Loret.
The salon itself is nice because it’s large, modern, and clean. They offer a lot more services than just hairstyling, too.

I bought a voucher from amazon local and got a dye, cut, and blow dry today. Lolita did my hair… she’s great… I love my cut! But my hair color that I wanted didn’t quiet came out what I expected tho. I wish the color would have shown more… but since I am Asian and have pretty dark base… the bright red color on Loreta that I wanted… didn’t show up on my hair. But overall she did a great job on my bangs just the way I wanted. I would refer this place to all my friends. I hope to go back and get the red highlights; hopefully then I can get a bit of discount since the color didn’t show up much this time.

Okay, so I have not gotten my hair done in years, like a hair up do. I was Bel from beauty and the Beast this year and decided to go all out for my Halloween costume. So i decided to get my hair done like Bel’s hair. I made an appointment with Christine (i guess she was the only one available), she told me to bring a picture of what i wanted my hair to look like.
So, day of my appointment, the salon was EMPTY, there was only one customer other than me. I showed Christine pictures of how i wanted my hair (Bel’s hair when she had the gold dress). She asked me which Bel was I, and asked if I had the blue dress costume and i made it clear to her «No, I’m wearing the gold dress».
So she started teasing my hair and all that stuff, and realized she freaking did my hair like Bel when she wore the blue dress! At first i was okay with it, but when I got home, i realized the hair just didn’t go with my dress. I was so pissed off and re did my whole entire hair.
i ended up doing my hair and it looked like Bel’s hair. I freaking wasted $ 70 for some hair do that I should have just done myself.
I didn’t understand why she told me to bring a picture of what I wanted when she freaking did the EXACT OPPOSITE!
If you do decide to get your hair done here, make sure it’s not with CHRISTINE, and if it is with her — make sure she listens to what you want!
Never ever coming here again!
