Meet Richard
Los Angeles Specialist in Balayage, Highlights & Dimensional Color
I’m Richard Taylor, a hairstylist with over 25 years of experience and a passion for creating luminous, elevated color that enhances natural beauty. Whether you’re seeking refined balayage, radiant highlights, or a polished blonde transformation, my focus is always on artistry, precision, and results that feel timeless.
When you sit in my chair, you’re trusting me with more than just your hair. You’re trusting me to understand your vision and deliver an experience that feels refined and personal. My priority is maintaining the health of your hair while creating a look that grows out seamlessly and keeps its sophistication long after you leave the salon.
No rushing, no guesswork, just polished results and a luxury experience tailored to you.
I also enjoy the artistry of cutting and styling women's and men's hair. Inspired by fashion, I like personalizing a hairstyle to you.
Outside of the salon…
Originally from Aberdeen, Scotland, I moved to Los Angeles at 23 years old to pursue my dream career in hair. My favorite place in the world is the Mediterranean, and I love the fall season in Southern California. Weekends are often spent with friends over breakfast, taking long walks, or looking after Lily, my best friend’s dog.
When I’m not in the salon, you’ll probably find me diving into science and technology, enjoying EDM, or catching a great film. I’m endlessly fascinated by people, relationships, and the little details that make life interesting.
At the core of everything I do are authenticity, professionalism, and integrity, values that guide my craft and how I connect with every client. If you’re looking for a stylist who blends artistry with refined technique, I’d love to welcome you to my chair.
Reserve Your Experience
I’m currently accepting new clients for balayage, highlights, bleach and tone, and lightening services. My schedule typically books about a week in advance, so I encourage you to plan ahead to secure your appointment.
