David Dru Salon

AMAZING! OBSESSED! Chris completely transformed my hair! I’ve actually been to other salons since to just get a blow dry and been complemented profusely on the color. It has completely transformed the way I look, even down to my skin tone. Of all the colorists I’ve met Chris is the one you NEED to see. Plus he’s adorable

I have been going to this cozy hair salon for my cuts and highlights for over 6 years. Amazing! David works his magic on my long Asian hair and all of the colorists have done a great job with golden brown highlights, ombré and sombre. David always knows which colors work with my skin tone and also gives me nice layers to frame my face. I love the fact that they only use Aveda products. My highlights last at least 4 – 5 months. This is a totally low key and chill environment in the middle of Beverly Hills. You have to try it at least once!

Erica is amazing she completed created a new look for me. I love my new look! Everyone there is so friendly too.

If you’re looking for exceptional coloring or highlights, be sure to book an appointment with Jamalyn. Friendly, professional, and highly experienced — she’ll make sure that you’re completely satisfied with your salon service before you leave. Highly recommend!
I came to the David Dru Salon for the first time last week desperately seeking a revamped look. Going into the appointment, I didn’t have much of an idea of the kind of new look I was going for (I’ve had the same haircut for the past eight years or so). Thankfully, with little more than a poor quality photo I had on my phone, Jamalyn not only brightened up my natural color to perfection, but also gave me a great layered cut with plenty of volume for my fine hair. She really knows what she’s doing; she tailored my cut to compliment my face shape and natural hair texture — without me having to say a word!

They somehow flagged and had my review removed (which was hilarious AND accurate by the way). Long story short, this place is a hot mess full of questionable stylists, one of whom gave my girlfriend the worst haircur of her life. NOT hyperbole. I also uploaded a picture with the review of the hackjob which was their only photo for a while. Again, hilarious… but truthful. Don’t go here ladies. There are plenty of other great salons in the area!

Review of Lindsey Joy at David Dru salon.
Can I just tell you? Hair is a major pain in the ass, for me.
I mean, I’m an actor and there are a lot of things I’m supposed to have a handle on that I wouldn’t really have to give a damn about if I were say, an orthodontist. It’s kind of surreal, really, because the product I have to sell every day is me, and it’s the same body I wake up in on Saturday, wandering hungover into the living room to pour a bowl of cereal while I’m watching cartoons. I’m a dude, and honestly, it is hard to care about spending thirty minutes on «coiffing» my hair. However, I also KNOW when it looks ridiculous– it’s just that I have NO IDEA what to do about it.
Are you starting to see my problem, here…
Now, take an already complex issue and add to it what seems to be a veritable sea of people who ‘cut hair’ barely above the skill level of the man who shaved me bald when I enlisted in the Coast Guard. I swear I’m not trying to be unkind, but there truly does seem to be a sort of template or cookie-​cutter method to cutting hair out there, and unfortunately, I think my hair is a little complicated to deal with, cowlicks, etc., so I have often walked out of barber shops or salons wondering what just happened. It’s not exactly confidence-​inspiring to walk into an audition feeling that the least-​prepared part of me is one of the first things people see…
Enter: Lindsey Joy. I was referred to her by my manager, and it has been one of the best referrals I’ve ever gotten. From the moment I sat in the chair, it was pretty apparent that she knows what she’s doing. This woman is a professional artist. Now, being a trained artist myself, please understand the weight that that term carries; I’m in show business, and if you’re in it for more than ten minutes, you know the emphasis is on the word business. Good art sells for more money, plain and simply put, and if I look complete, together, when I walk into the room, I get hired at a higher level. I work my ASS off to be an A-​level actor, and when I leave Lindsey’s office, my appearance matches my other preparation. I have been a professional actor for over fifteen years, and I estimate that I have tried between 20 – 30 hair stylists.
I cannot emphasize this point enough: Ms. Joy is an exceptional talent.
I’ve finally gotten to the point where I simply walk in, tell her what role or subtype I’m working on, and give her freedom to do her work. She has even taken a stand at times when I wanted something which was unwise for my facial structure, type, or age, (the common mistake that even Cruise, Carey, the other Pitt and countless other middle-​aged male actors have made; that long hair is «awesome.») and she has been right. RIGHT. It won’t overpower the room and be all about my hair, and in fact it will be a very subtle but powerful addition to my product. I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to get competent insight into an area within which I have no expertise. I may not book the role because I may simply have an off day, but my hair will be dead-​on for me, A-​list.
I’ll tell you how it really dawned on me that she was different; I noticed since I have been with her, when I wake up in the morning, I mean the minute when my head comes off of the pillow, it looks good. Thirty minutes, a shower, and some Crew later, it’s perfect. I never think about it again all day.
You could not be in better hands.

Excellent, did Cyn’s hair perfectly, great price and in good time. They listened to what she had to say and made suggestions without being pushy. Highly recommended

I purchased a groupon not knowing a thing about this place. Seems like most salons in BH are loud, pushy and chaotic. David Dru is the exact opposite. It’s a cozy place that feels like you are at the spa. I’ve been to many salons in BH where people are running around like crazy and its noisy and not a very peaceful experience. The front desk lady was extremely friendly and chatted with me while I waited. They offer water and tea as well. Ericka cut my hair exactly how I wanted it and she also suggested a great color for hi lites for next time. No pretentious BH people in this place. It’s just lovely. I’ll be back of course for my next cut and color!

If you come here, request Jamalyn. She will make sure you are completely satisfied with your hair. The environment is super friendly and very professional.

I don’t typically write reviews, especially negative, but I was extremely unhappy with my recent experience. I bought a Groupon to David Dru’s salon for $ 90, definitely not cheap. There were options that offered a cut and color for half the price but I foolishly thought that if I am paying more I must be getting the most professional job. I made an appointment with the owner of the salon. A day before my apt I receive a call informing me that the owner does not deal with Groupon costumers. It is ok for him to try to get costumers through Groupon but not ok to actually work on them???
HOWEVER THE REAL ISSUE WAS THE COLOR!!! I have been dying my hair on my own for so long and I have always done a much better job. I have had auburn hair for a long time and the color was really faded I decided to get it done professionally and color it chocolate brown. The colorist only colored the top of my head, the rest of my hair is a RUSTY, NASTY, COPPERY color. I mentioned it to both the colorist and the owner immediately and was told «no problem for a $ 35 touch up you can come back next week and we will fix it for you». I should pay extra when they messed up AND I realized it on the spot!!!
coloring it on my own would have cost me $ 5, wish I had done that!

I don’t know about you, but when I head for the salon, I want to be in a professional, low key atmosphere where I feel 100% certain I’ll come out with a good result… and that’s EXACTLY what you’ll always get at David Dru’s salon.
I was first referred to David Dru by my daughter and have been going to him for several years now. David is not only a true genius in his knowledge and expertise regarding hair care and styling, but he’s also a genuinely good human being and a total pleasure to visit with while he’s working his magic on my crazy head of hair. He has a fantastic staff, that sometimes includes his lovely wife, who’s always a pleasure and adds a really lovely complement to the environment in this salon. I also appreciate that he uses Aveda products, which have made a huge improvement in the condition of my hair.

What a gem in the middle of Beverly Hills. Superstar colorist Erica did my sister and my hair to perfection. She gave us EXACTLY what we wanted The compliments keep comin’ in, on stage and off. Reasonable prices, the most talented people… Owner David and his wife Kay Lynn are caring, kind and wildly talented. THE BEST HAIR SALON EVER!
Another plus… convenient parking in a great little shopping center with a pharmacy, great French bakery, take out Chinese restaurant and beauty supply store. An amazing experience!

Two thumbs up! David is excellent at what he does! Love my haircut! Everyone is very nice and welcoming at this salon. Would highly recommend it to all of my friends!

What a wonderful salon! I discovered Aveda Products and had moved to the area and found the David Dru Salon. I love the products, and I go to Erica for color. She is amazing — precise, thorough with a great sense of color. In addition, what I did not expect, is atmosphere is cozy and friendly. The owner always greets everyone with a smile, which I have not seen at ‘big name’ salons. Really glad I found it!

I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Period. David has an eye for style and color that is unmatched. Plus, he’s a really nice guy! I don’t agree that the salon is over-​priced.

I have had very good experiences at this salon. I have lost track of time but think I have been going for a couple of years. I have tricky hair to cut due to cowlicks and I am SUPER picky about my cut and color. David is very creative on how to manage these part of my hair and has worked with me to get the best shape possible. He really listens to what I want and then makes suggestions on what he thinks would work.-a nice balance. He even showed me how changing my part to the other side was more attractive for my face.
Sabrina has only been coloring my hair for a short time and she does a super nice job. She is also creative and accommodating and will change things up as needed. She is very upbeat and sweet which makes for an all around good experience. What is also really nice about all of them is that when I have asked them to tweak something here or there, they do it and don’t seem to be insulted by my request.

I have been going to David Dru in three locations for something like 26 years. Over the years, he has cut my hair long, layered and curly, short and shaped, punky/​spiky, and once again long and layered but smooth. He is a master at that beautifully shaped natural, casual, tousled look that you see on many stars.
And it’s likely he actually was the one who cut their hair, though you won’t hear him name dropping.
The one star picture someone posted is not to be believed. This is a master haircutter who works on movie stars and film executives and is beloved by all his clients. I know of more than one A-​list star who works with David repeatedly.
David has an unusual sculptor’s eye and adapts the style you ask for to your particular head shape and hair type — and if it won’t work; he’ll tell you why and suggest alternatives. He questions you closely and as a result he is very hip to the vibe you are going for and nails it every time.
He also designs color that is absolutely natural, tweaking it during the seasons, your changes of whim, and hair texture.
David is kind as well. He nursed me through an awkward growing out period as I recovered from a devastating illness. I now once again have hair that is the envy of my friends.
Many of David’ clientele, both men and women, are in the entertainment biz (as I am) where appearances are crucial. You’re in the best of hands here. I could not recommend him more highly.

Just back from another excellent cut and color at the salon and a FANTASTIC keratin treatment that really gave me the shine and volume I was looking for.
Customers since 2001 — my husband gets his very hard to cut (very thick) hair cut here monthly and I get my cut and color done every 3 months. We make the drive all the way from the OC and I know other customers who also drive long distances for this great salon.

I’ve been a client of David’s for years. I’ve referred many of my friends to him, too. David is the best for cut and color. He’s a true artist. Whether you’re a guy or gal, straight hair or curly, David knows just how to make you look your best. This is not SuperCuts and you definitely get what you pay for. Also, Catherine, Sabrina, and Jamalyn do great color, too. I can’t imagine getting my hair done anywhere else.

I have been going to David Dru for years. David is truly an artist with scissors. He has always given me the most fantastic haircuts… they are always better than I had hoped for! He also colors my hair. I get full highlights with 3 – 4 different colors. He weaves the colors so beautifully and with such skill that when my hair starts to grow out it still look beautiful and natural. I can go 5 months inbetween coloring and it looks great! No joke.
David is such a sweetheart. He is funny, friendly and a total doll. You can tell you has a serious loyal following. He knows his clients, all about their lives and cares. His assistants are always very nice too. Sabrina is another star there too. I seriously love this place and would never go anywhere else.
