Editorial Review for Prive Salon – by Andrea Rademan
The Scene
There's no guarantee you'll look like Cameron Diaz, Denise Richards or Christina Ricci, but you may look at them or countless other Hollywood starlets who frequent this salon. But that's not why we'd put our head, and a tote bag full of the green stuff, in Prive's hands. Everyone gets equally skillful treatment and pampering in these immaculate and spacious Buddha-themed quarters.
The Services
Owner Laurent Dufourg spends half his time here, half at his equally high-end New York salon. He handpicked 12 hair stylists, six colorists and one makeup artist for individualized haircuts, styling and color; extensions; scalp treatments (massage, special oils, steamer); balayage (thick highlights, painted straight out from the scalp--faster but harsher than foil) and high-tech Japanese relaxers that withstand additional coloring rather than requiring semi-permanent dyes. Dan Holmes (ex-Jose Eber) is a pro at eyebrow-shaping and waxing.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasBuddha Garden cafe out back serves light, healthy French food, coffee drinks and New Age elixirs with Asian names. Or watch videos in the small secluded front corner lounge and contemplate which artisan evening purses, hair accessories and restyled antique jewelry you can't live without.

Hey Ladies, I just wanted to lend a helping hand if you are looking for the perfect color. I moved here and was pretty clueless on where to go, it's always hard to find a new stylist. I wanted to say that Lucy was great and I honestly think my hair color has never looked this good (I'm a blonde and it's not easy to get that perfect shade). I will definitely be going back and would recommend her to anyone!
Pros: Amazing color! Salon is beautiful, great service

LA is a town where service is generally poor, and frequently horrid. With Prive's reputation for its star-studded clientele, I was initially worried that "civilian" like me would be treated poorly. Boy, was I WRONG! From my first appointment there 5 years ago until today, I've always found Prive to have a friendly and down-to-earth staff - and most importantly - superior stylists & colorists. The quality of service and the end result COMPLETELY justify the price, which admittedly is on the high side. But like so much in life, you get what you pay for... and Prive has always delivered HAIR MAGIC!!!
