Les Amis Salon et Spa - San Mateo, California

I reviewed Les Amis years ago, am still their faithful client and so here's an update. Jocelyn colors and cuts my hair, which is kind of tricky as my natural color is red which does not grey well. Jocelyn has found a wonderful combination of high- and low-lights that look fantastic. I've got some color but it doesn't look at all like I'm trying to hide my age. She is also a completely delightful person. I'm not the only person who raves about Jocelyn so be sure to book early (I now book a full year in advance). Thanks to everyone at Les Amis but particularly Jocelyn.

I’ve been going to Les Amis Salon et Spa for over a decade + always have positive experiences. Jocelyn is an excellent + experienced stylist! She’s mindful, w/ a gentle touch. I say very little + am confident I’ll walk out happy. The vibe is both upbeat + serene as it’s the place I look forward to getting the hair transformation I expect!

Love this place! They’re super gentle while washing and massaging your hair, they consistently check in during the process to make sure the length is ok, and overall this place has a great atmosphere! I’ve had Jackie the past few times and she’s amazing. Great vibes and service! The free parking lot is also a plus.

Disappointed with the customer service. I scheduled an appointment a month in advance, only to receive a last minute call the day before informing my stylist was unwell Covid. While I understand that illness is unpredictable, I was frustrated that I was not notified sooner given she was sick for a week, and the earliest available appointment is in one month. I cannot wait that long for my highlights. Overall, I feel the salon did not handle this situation well and failed to provide adequate customer service. It's been a waste of my time and all the arrangements at work and home to make the appointment. Do not recommend this salon.

Jackie was awful. Had a 3:00, she called asked me to come at 3:30.. then called and said 4:00. I arrived at 4:00 and she wasn’t close to done. At 4:20, she was still taking photos of her previous client while I sat there waiting.
Every professional hairstylist I’ve seen, the first time, the hairstylist wants to see your hair dry and how curly it is and how it calls.
Jackie is clearly not a professional. She told me (85 minutes late) to go wash my hair without her even looking at it.
Her previous clients hair wasn’t cut straight and the ends not being curled stuck out and I thought looked terrible.

After waiting 90 minutes after my appointment, seeing Jackie’s previous client’s hair, and Jackie’s very unprofessional attitude. I just walked out. Jackie didn’t even care.

Maria hit it out of the park! I'd been growing out a bad cut for a couple of months and needed all the different lengths cleaned up. I was basically having PTSD after my last cut and very nervous leading up to the appt, but Maria's vibe was totally chill and sincerely kind. She did EXACTLY what I hoped for and I left absolutely thrilled that I'd found my new hairstylist!

Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Jocelyn. I booked an appointment to trim my hair a day in advance. I waited maybe 5 minutes when I arrived. Jocelyn was kind and talkative. This is the best experience I have had at any salon. I will be coming back very soon! 🙂

Daniela has been my go-to stylist for several years at Les Amis; I get a regular haircut each time. She listens to my hair requests and I’ve always loved each haircut!
