Cheveux Salon

Went here for my first time today. The girls were fantastic! I wasn’t completely sure which direction I wanted to take with my hair, but Rachelle guided me with what would work best with my hair type (thin) and face (round). The results are excellent. They have a client for life!

Rachelle is amazing! I am so picky who does my hair & won’t let anyone else touch my hair but her. Hands down the best colorist & hairdresser I’ve ever had. She makes all the highlights and color look completely natural, so much so that every time I leave her salon I get constant compliments on it for weeks. The only thing equally good as her is the place she works out of. BEAUTIFUL décor, boutique salon, makes the experience even more superior. After my experience, I leave Cheveux’s feeling like a princess every time!

First time with Rachelle. She squeezed me in the same day I called her. She did a great job. I enjoyed talking with her, too. I’ll be coming back.

Excellent — great location and great service. I will definitely be back.

Rachelle’s got it all in her hands! I was heading to the Irvine area for a little vacation myself, seeing half my sisters because they live there. My sister whom has had long hair for a while now just recently chopped it all off, not all but it’s pretty dramatic to what she has had before — I LOVE IT. So I have long hair myself and of course I trust my sister so I decided I wanted to cut it too. I walked in there and it was absurdly cute in there — one chair salon. It’s a great one on one experience. Rachelle was being truthfully honest about my questions I had for her. I mean, I’m about to cut more than 6 inches of my hair and I take care of my hair so it was a lot of faith put into her hands. She chopped about 6 – 7 inches of my hair and I couldn’t be any happier. I love it, I rock it, go see Rachelle!

Truly grateful to have BRENDA as my go to stylist! I’ve followed Brenda and her magical shears now for about 4 years, and can honestly say as a tried and true customer, will never stray. As other Unilocalers have noted, Brenda is incredibly easy to talk to and will take the time necessary to evaluate and assess your locks for a style that compliments you and your lifestyle.
My hair in its natural state is very fine and, sadly, lifeless. Left on its own, it lies flat and dull. Thankfully, Brenda has worked her magic over it time and time again. For the past two years, she’s styled me seamlessly through the world of extensions. Though a laborious process, the results were definitely worth the time and money spent. If you’re interested in extensions at all, I would definitely suggest going in to the salon personally to have a consultation with her about your options. Trust me, it’s life changing!
Although the extensions she had me wearing were non-​invasive (they basically were beaded on to my hair and would grow out with my natural hair growth), Brenda recommended letting my hair take a breather for a year. At the time, I was hesitant to do so as I was now spoiled with luscious, voluminous hair. I agreed, however, after she reassured me that we could put them back in after 6 months if I absolutely wanted to. In exchange, Brenda gave me a haircut she explained was U-​shaped, which would give me the illusion of a fuller body of hair. I’ve been extension-​less for just about 6 months now, and honestly I love the haircut so much, I may continue this route!
It’s always great to work with someone who you can tell is truly passionate about their craft. Honestly, she is top notch. If you’re looking for a cut/​color/​style that is consistently flawless, Brenda’s your gal.

Where do I even begin? I reluctantly met Rachelle on a Saturday afternoon, and when I found out she was a hair dresser I immediately asked her what I should do with my hair. I am very very picky about my hair and I have not found anyone I can completely trust with it. Anyways, I was desperate to get my hair done before I fly back home for the holidays, and Rachelle was accommodating to my schedule so I knew meeting her was just meant to be.
I knew what I wanted to do in my mind, but it was something I had to commit too, and was VERY nervous about. I was going to cut 4+ inches off but wasn’t sure how it would look on my round face. Rachelle was so supportive about this transition and even gave me her honest opinion. Ultimately she did what I was comfortable with and even asked me so many questions along the way so there weren’t any surprises. So, if you are unsure if a style looks good on you, Rachelle will give you her opinion and execute it very well! I am so glad I met her and can finally have someone I can trust and is personable. I would not have gone through this transition without rachelle’s encouragement. I don’t regret it one bit! PS– I LOVE her spot. She decorated it so nicely. I can’t wait to go back next time! :)

Rachelle is amazing! I can’t even remember how long I’ve been going to her but she’s never done me wrong! I finally took the leap 3 months ago and chopped it all off, she was kind enough to do the leg work on my Locks of Love donation for me, because with my schedule I’m sure my 10 inch braid would still be sitting in the trunk of my car waiting to be shipped! I went back this week for an update and asked her to work her magic — she listened to all my concerns (my low maintenance style & chubby cheeks to name a few) and I am in love! No more messy buns for this busy mom of three!
Cheveux salon is at the District at Tustin Legacy, parking is super convenient just behind the movie theater and Rachelle & Brenda are a great team — so attentive and super friendly!

Rachelle is AMAZING! She is so sweet, friendly, and genuine and we have great conversations. I received a hair cut and color and she was actually the only one who got the closest to how I wanted it compared to the other hair stylists I’ve been to. She really knows what she’s doing and always makes sure that you’re satisfied with your hair. I will definitely be coming back!

I’ve got one word for you, «BRENDA». She is absolutely amazing! She is so talented & very knowledgeable. When it comes to hair & make up, she is the person to go see. She’s been doing my hair for the past couple years & has done my make up for a few different occasions, including my wedding day. I have never once been unhappy with her services. She is easy & fun to talk to & she makes you feel welcomed. She goes above & beyond to get the job done & the results show that.

Rachelle has been doing my hair for about 10 years now. I have had Several different cuts and colors as well as a few Brazilian blow outs. As a busy mother of 4 I rarely have time to visit a salon, and Rachelle’s approach to style and color keep me looking my best despite my sometimes irregular habits of returning to her later then she tells me The Salon is clean well kept and stylishly decorated in French motif. Rachelle’s sense of humor will keep you in stitches as she effortlessly works her Magic, making the ugliest mop of hair, look like it just came off the runway. I know. she’s saved my hair a world full of embarrassment many times over…
give her a try… your hair will be thanking you

Been going to Rachelle for 4 years and I always get EXACTLY what I want when it comes to my haircut! Love her salon and love how passionate she is about her trade! If you are looking for a great stylist who is educated in her craft, Rochelle is your girl.

Rachelle is AMAZING… I have super platinum hair, and she kills it with her color and cut… I’ve been coming to Rachelle for almost 4 years, ever since my old hairdresser who I loved was killed in the Seal Beach salon massacre… everytime I walk out of Cheveux Salon with the owner Rachelle, oh, and Brenda who is just as amazing, I honestly get tons of compliments… I’ve recommended at least half a dozen people to her, which who have all been impressed and satisfied… anyways, if you ever want to be amazed, give Rachelle a shot!

I have been coming to Rachelle for about 3 years now. I have always been a blonde and she nails it every time I ask for a different shade. She got my hair to white/​platinum when not many other hairstylists could. I am always very happy when I leave her salon. She is extremely funny and professional, there is never a dull moment when sitting in her chair. The salon itself is well decorated and absolutely adorable.

My hair and I are in a committed relationship with Brenda’s magic hair skills. I’ve been a loyal client for almost 5 years and have followed her here to her new salon. No matter the distance, I’ll be there for Brenda to work her magic on me.
I’m very fickle with my hair and love changing it every several months. Despite the changes, she continues to care for the integrity of my hair. She is honest with colors, tones, and all necessary care for my ever changing hair to stay healthy. I love my long hair and all thanks goes to Brenda’s micro trims. Also, her scalp massages when getting your hair washed is absolutely amazing. I remember a new walk-​in client even asked for an extra massage because he loved it so much his first time.
Cheveux is located in suite 104 and it has a large floor to ceiling window which provides natural lighting. Brenda is extremely easy to talk to so it’s easy for you to communicate what it is you want done to your hair. She is honest and informative. She gained my trust after the first year and sometimes I walk in telling her I simply want something new — a surprise. She knows my style and my personality so she is always able to whip up a nice surprise for me. No matter the task, I’ve always walked out with a smile!

I’ve just had my first visit here and decided this is where I’ll be coming back for all my hair needs. First off, Brenda is highly trained yet very friendly and easy to talk to, which is important when you expect to be there for more than 30 mins.
She first takes the time to consult with you on your needs and preferences, which is so great when compared to other salons that just ask you simple directions like ‘how long? bangs? what color?’ Brenda actually evaluates your hair, its health, its color, its thickness, etc and comes up with suggestions on how to improve your hair. She also very honest. Where she could have seized an opportunity to suggest frequent hair treatment visits, she told me that my hair is actually pretty healthy as long as I brush it!
Clearly, I’m a low-​maintenance gal and am easily inspired by the new trends. But Brenda took the time to walk me through what type of haircut would work for me and my very low maintenance lifestyle. I ended up loving my lob (long bob), the short layers are tastefully blended in and not choppy as she taught me would be a «bad haircut». And I am so happy that she suggested a shorter length that got rid of the splt ends and this weird knot that has been perpetually growing into a dreadlock on the nape of my head.
Go to Brenda, she’s the best!

My wife and I both go here to see Rachelle. We are both very very picky and she does a fabulous job. The salon is clean, and well decorated. Rachelle is very professional and it is quite clear she knows her trade very well. I recommend her to all my friends and family and suggest you do the same.

Rachelle does a great job hi lighting my hair, and doing my Brazilian blowout. Her work is so meticulous and professional. Every time I leave her room I am so happy

I’ve been going to Rachelle for years now. the new salon is beautiful and in a convenient location. My hair is blonde and it always turns out fabulous. My color always comes out so vibrant. I usually go in for a full head of highlights and a cut. never disappointed! next I will in be in for a split end treatment, can’t wait!!! I get stopped all the time and asked who does my color… and I’d say that’s a compliment.

I should start off by saying that I am VERY particular about handling of my hair given a long history of botched bangs and brassy color, BUT when I find something good, the only way I let go of it is at the point it’s pried out of my cold, dead fingers. With that being said… since my first consultation with Brenda 4 years ago at her previous salon, this mop of my head will follow her to the ends of the Earth! This explains why I will make the religious trek from Downtown LA to have her magic fingers grace my locks. Long hair can sometimes be unmanageable, but the confidence that radiates from my shiny, voluminous and freshly groomed hair is difficult to put a price on.
Over the years, Brenda has come to know that I am a bit of a creature of habit, but evidently this girl uses some ancient form of Jedi Mind tricks to keep my style updated, yet appease the Safe Sally in me. While I was interviewing for residencies last month, she concocted for me the perfect shade of maroon that balanced professionalism. flair. (No kidding, my interviewers even asked me where I got my hair done!)
Lastly, I should mention she’s licensed as a makeup artist as well and moonlights in LA for magazine and television shoots. She’s currently booked to do my best friend’s bridal party. :)
