In Short – A-listers rub shoulders with regulars at this posh salon where renowned colorists and style experts stick to their specialties. Clients gaze through glass walls at a central pool filled with floating lilies, or sip cappuccinos on the terrace while their color sets. This March marks the official beginning of Serge Normant's tenure. Normant has worked with Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Hillary Swank, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker and more.
Great Experience
by SBrown at Citysearch
Having had great past experiences at the Frieda salon in NYC, I made an appointment with Abby and Whitney to correct a poor color job (not done by any Frieda salon) and have my hair cut. I don't usually write reviews but these women and the entire staff are top notch. The salon has a great ambiance; wall-to-wall sliding glass doors surround the picturesque center pool. The youthful and gorgeous staff is talented and friendly. I did not come in with pictures or detailed instructions but my desires were listened to and I am another thrilled client. Thank you, thank you!
- Pros: Atmosphere, staff, skill

Best Stylist in LA
by JaimeMarshall at Citysearch
David John, formerly of Fred Segal Beauty in Santa Monica, has recently moved to the Serge Normant @ John Frieda salon. I've been a client of his for 12 years - an eternity for someone as obsessed with hair as I am - and he is an absolute genius as both a colorist and stylist. My sister travels from San Diego to have him do her hair, my mother travels from the San Fernando Valley and my sister-in-law comes from Westlake Village. People stop us all on the street to remark on the beauty of our hair. And he is a darling; someone I'm thrilled to call my friend. RUN, don't walk, to Melrose Place to have him do your hair. You won't be disappointed.

"i won't go to anyone but david john. he's a master for cut and color, and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. that's why i followed him from fred segal to john frieda. i would follow him anywhere, truly. i'd follow him to a van down by the river if that's where he was doing hair. he's THAT good. luckily, he recently went to the john frieda salon. the most beautiful place. tranquil, serene, friendly. it's very uber-chic LA with celebrities and models, and very stylish folks, BUT shockingly everyone is so nice! i could spend an entire weekend there if they let me. when i explain a cut or color to david, it's like he's a mind reader. he always knows exactly what i'm after and miraculously delivers. i'm constantly changing my hair, so this is no small feat. i truly believe he is an artist--and his chair is seriously my happy place. he's the best. i wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair."
