About

Les Amis has operated since 2011 in the Crystal Springs shopping area of San Mateo. The name translates from French as "the friends," a nod to the salon's culture, which it says is rooted in friendships among staff and clients. The salon calls itself one of the best-loved hair salons across the San Francisco Bay Area.

The salon says it follows a culture-first, salon-second philosophy. Its team works without a hierarchy of senior and junior stylists and without hierarchical pay structures, stylists control their own work schedules, and information is shared openly with every employee. The salon does not offer chair rentals.

The online menu is grouped into color, highlights, smoothing, haircuts, and hair care. Prices shown are starting quotes, and the final price can change with hair length and density, the complexity of the service, the time required, the stylist, and any added services, so a complimentary consultation is recommended for the most accurate pricing. Every service includes a professional blow-dry, and color and highlight services include toner.

Smoothing options range from a Brazilian Blowout Express, which smooths and cleanses in one step, to a Keratin Complex Treatment that takes about three hours and lets the smoothness level be customized. Creative color options include vivid and fantasy shades, pastel tones, color melts, and custom balayage using fashion colors.

Built around a culture-first, salon-second philosophy, with transparency among staff and clients, no hierarchy between stylists, and stylists in control of their own schedules.
