A bit about the guy...
"Creativity, warmth, unpretentiousness - all qualities of Laurent Dufourg that help to make him a master of an art that sometimes favors ego over artistry. With an unerring sense of how to unlock an individual's most beautiful and confident self, Laurent's true talent is expressed in his innate ability to cute and style hair to perfectly suit the look, personality and lifestyle of his clients. While acknowledged as a trailblazer of new looks and styles, he also seeks interpretation of the latest trends for his clients.
A native of France, Laurent started his impressive career by serving an apprenticeship with the world famous Claude Maxime in Paris at the age for 16. He flexed his entrepreneurial muscles just a few years later by opening his salon in Marbella, and within a short time owned the two most exclusive salons in this playground for the rich and famous on the Costa del Sol in Spain.
After moving to Los Angeles in 1979 with his wife Fabienne, Laurent met Jose Eber and as partners they opened and operated five highly successful salons. In 1995, Laurent sold his share in the business to open Privé (French for private), His first salon located on Melrose Place, in West Hollywood. He then expanded his empire to include a Privé salon in the SoHo Grand Hotel, New York.
For each Privé, Laurent has selected each technician personally seeking a refined artistic ability, personality and a certain savoir-faire. His rigorous standards guarantee that salon personnel are the best trained and most talented in the business.
Laurent recently relocated his Melrose Place Privé salon to the historic Spanish Kitchen space on Beverly Blvd, in Los Angeles. Collaborating with co-owner and renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Stanley Frileck, Laurent opened the luxurious ONA day spa, which blends beauty with medical science and technology. The spa offers an extensive-menu of traditional and signature spa services, including facials, massage, body treatments, manicures/pedicures, sonic dermabrasion and laser hair removal, as well as Botox, collagen, and Alloderm injections"
