Christophe Salon

01/30/2008 Posted by Jess1981

I love going to Christophe--I look forward to each appointment. I was recommended to Sharle by a friend who's also a client. Sharle is fantastic with color AND cut...I always leave feeling as though I could go book a hair commercial the same day! Everyone in the salon, from front desk attendants to stylists to Christophe himself, have proved unpretentious (rare on Beverly Drive). From the sparkling white decor to the wide selection of product (Kerastase is a lifesave every time), Christophe is more than a salon--it's an experience. I HIGHLY recommend Sharle...a great, capable stylist and a cool chick.

Pros: ambience, service, convenience

Cons: cost...although, I must say it's worth it!!

I have been going to Sabine for over 16 years for highlights and haircuts. She is amazing with her highlights...getting directly to the roots and she is very careful to have it look natural. I always look like a natural blonde and get several compliments weekly on my hair. In fact, most of my family, friends, and coworkers are also costumers because they admired my hair and wanted to have Sabine do their hair! I have given Sabine's name and number dozens and dozens of times over the years. Her cuts are hip but very clean and elegant. She has people who fly in from northern california just to get her to color and cut their hair. She has a talent for hair and keeps updated on all the latest trends....yet she always keep her clients elegant and natural looking! She is fantastic!

I strongly recommend Glenn Deneve at Christophe Salon in Beverly Hills. I had been looking for a hair stylist who is not just skilled but has something more. I went to see a few stylists who have skills, but I never could get exactly what I wanted. I always got something completely different from what I asked for or just got whatever THEY wanted. Then, I went to see Glenn with strong recommendations of my friend. I got exactly what I wanted or even better! He truly listens to what I want to do and how I want to change. He gives me not only what I want, but also he always surprises me with his great tricks. So, I always get my hair looks better than I expect. Also, I go to see him for my special occasions. Since I've been in the fashion industry, I like to change my hairstyle, depending on what kind of clothes I wear. I used to be afraid of changing my hairstyle but not any more. I think that he knows what to do for each client. Finally I could find a hair stylist whom I can count on. His attitude toward customers is excellent!! I am sure that you will enjoy the time with him and walk out of the salon with 100% satisfied :)

If you are going to the Cristophe Salon, you MUST see Alessandro. This man worked miracles on my mane – and I needed a miracle after getting a disappointing do at two top Beverly Hills salons. As a girl who takes pride in having lovely locks and as a girl who is always out and about town on the social scene due to my job, I went to Alessandro at the request and recommendation of a good friend. Hesitant to try another hairstylist I was not sure who could give me a hairstyle I would be jazzed about, I decided to give him a shot nonetheless. I find that most stylists will listen to what you want done with your hair and then still do something completely different. Not the case with Alessandro! He actually listened to how I wanted my hair (still lengthy yet with shape and easy to style). How many times have we gotten hairdos that we can never replicate after visiting a salon?? I am not joking when I say that I got exactly what I asked for. I looked like a million bucks when Alessandro was done with me. Alessandro is warm, friendly, fun and talented. I trust him with my hair and will go to no one else now!!! You would think this guy would be completely different and snooty due to the amazing roster of celeb clients that he has like Kelly Preston, Nicollete Sheridan, Michael Bolton or Dustin Hoffman or any of the others – but this is a guy who is totally respectable and nice and has such a keen eye for what hairstyle will look good on you. He is responsible for making the most glamorous people look gorgeous…and that is what I am now thanks to Alessandro. Go see him – I’m serious!! You will not want to go to anyone else ever again. I wish I could post a photo of the amazing work he did – get your hair done by Alessandro at Cristophe – you will not regret it!!!

I met miss Alexis James while she was working at the Cristophe Salon in Las Vegas. Our first appointment together was amazing!!! She immediately put my mind to rest that she would give me the color I wanted without damaging my hair. She explained every step, why she was doing what she was doing and she was fast too!!!! She nailed the color perfectly the first time, second time, third time and every time I've seen her for the past 3 years. After she told me she would be working out of the Beverly Hills location as well, I was just thrilled!!!! Although I visit Las Vegas often from LA....I am so glad she is on my side of town now! I would highly reccomend you give her a visit in Beverly Hills. She's kind, caring, and an excelent artist/colorist. My hair has never looked or felt better! She is a rare jewel, so definitely go see her if you're bored or looking for a change. I couldn't imagine going to anyone else!

I first met Michael Haase (from Christophe salon in Beverly Hills) 3 years ago, when I was a new mom who'd never had anything done with my hair. I tend to not generally care too much about my appearance, but of course no matter how laid-back a girl is, there's some part of every woman who wants to look as good as a movie star. I knew he was a pro; he'd transformed a great friend of mine and I was ready for something, anything to look good, and I let him choose what to do (but nothing too drastic, I said).The first thing he did was spend about a minute or two just looking at me, looking at my face, the angles, my hair itself, and then he said "I know exactly what to do". Since then I've been a different woman. I'm not one who goes out buying fancy things and getting massages, I actually feel like when I get my haircut with Michael it's better than any massage because it's more tangible, and my hair makes anything I wear look good. As he cuts you can see the transformation occuring before your eyes (I think someone else wrote that too), and you do look beautiful and s-xy when he's done. And Michael is pretty amazing (and hot) which always makes the time spent sitting in that seat well worth it. I must also add that unlike any other haircut I've ever gotten, his cuts last forever. With an extremely busy work schedule I've gone 6 months between cuts (ouch) at times, and my hair somehow still looks s-xy. He is amazing with everyone. I even brought my mom in and he gave her the same treatment and she left looking stylish and graceful. I recommend Michael to all my friends, and will continue to do so. My feeling is someone who is so dedicated to helping normal women look their absolute best, who treats every woman like a work of art who can be made beautiful should be shared. I think every woman should be able to have this experience and feel their best. It's amazing a haircut can do so much.

Just had my first experience at Cristophe salon by a stylist named Glenn Deneve.I just moved from Japan to Los Angeles about a year ago,and had a hard time finding a good stylist.True a friend of mine I was recommended to go see Glenn. From the moment I walked in and was introduced, he was all attention to me. We sat down,and talked hair for about 5 minutes. After I had my shampoo Glenn blowdryed my hair and when he was finished he then proceeded to cut it, I never had the experience of someone doing this on dry hair, but let me asure you it was amazing, Glenn littery cut hair by hair and I could see slowly the transformation infront of my eyes. By blowdrying my hair before,he could see exactly how my hair fell and moved naturally and then Glenn cut it accordingly. It was the most amazing experience that I ever had and the moment I walked towards the front desk, even the stylist told me what a great haircut I just got and that it looked stunning. Once on the street I got 3 compliments within the first 10 min. It seems I am hooked and would highly recommend Glenn to everybody. He is a real genius,friendly,...very cute,attentive,and very very talented.

Pros: Modern,friendly atmospere,very talented stylist

Cons: none

As a young professional that started her own design firm last year, overworked, and badly need a new hair style, I decided to go for a haircut and color with Michael Hasse, after reading all these great reviews. Not knowing what to expect, since I've tried the best salons in New York, Tokyo, Taipei, and here in LA, but always been kinda disappointed with the results, no matter how fancy the salons are. I have to say...Michael Hasse is the best!! I left with such a big smile on my face. He gave me the best haircut and color that I ever got in my life. He was so friendly and personal. All I requested was that I need a change badly, something edgier, and still s-xy. I felt so at ease, totally trusted him and his artistic vision with my hair even though we just met. He is so in tone with art, fashion, architecture, design, and more. He gave me exactly what I wanted and more!! That is so rare..for the stylist to know what one wants before she is able to even envision the haircut herself. That's a true artist! He is truly talented!

Pros: talented stylist, friendly environment

Cons: pricey but worth every penny

This review is way overdue as I've been a loyal client of Michael for 3 years (following him from Umberto to Cristophe's) and have never been less than THRILLED with the way he has styled my hair. I am often approached by other women who wonder where I've gotten my cut and color done and I happily recommend him. He's a bit of a hidden gem, way too overqualified to be chopping the locks of a non-celebrity/mere mortal, and if you allow him, he'll have you walking out of the salon looking like you're on your way to a fashion shoot. He's been styling hair for years and he's constantly attending hair shows (he was in London earlier this year) and teaching young stylists- all which attest to his expertise. I've watched him do more conservative styles and beautiful up do's as well -Michael has no limits to what he can do. I personally love the fact that he will do something creative and stunning, yet feminine and wearable each time I see him. As a bonus, his styles wear wonderfully for months. My recommendations to you if you choose to indulge yourself with a M. Haase experience: 1. Come as yourself- the salon may be a bit fancy, but he is always welcoming and treats you like a star 2. Come having thought about how "conservative" vs. "cutting edge" you're willing to be (or your profession and daily activities allow you to be), 3. Have in mind some very general guidelines (like you're in the process of growing your hair long) 4. Let Michael do his magic. I think one key to an excellent stylist is having the talent to envision what would look best for each individual client. Michael has THAT talent; he's been blessed with it through and through. I personally discourage you from coming in with a picture of some model and asking him to "make you look like her". A photo may help you convey a certain look you're going for, but it may not be necessary. Believe me, he will make you more beautiful than you ever imagined. Have fun.

Pros: Talented stylist, friendly staff

Cons: A bit pricey but worth every penny

Cristophe salon is nothing like I thought it would be. I expected to be intimidated by the whole "Beverly Hills" scene, I was pleasantly surpised at how comfortable I was made to feel as soon as I walked in the door. I have been seeing Lisa for my highlights for the past year and couldn't be more pleased! I am always stopped on the street by woman who want to know who does my hair. Not only that but whenever I have my hair blown out when I am out of town the stylists always ask how my color is done and comment on the exceptional work. She turned this mousey brunette into a blonde goddess and I will never leave her.

Pros: excellent service, great staff

Cons: pricey, but worth it
