LUX has been my go to hair salon for many years, and they've never let me down…read more Prior to last week, it had been a very long time since I'd had my hair done. So long, in fact, that my natural hair had grown out past my shoulders. Since I follow LUX on Instagram, I noticed that they had recently hired a new stylist, Virgo, who (as I write this) is still accepting new clients. I'd gone to a trendy hair salon in midtown for a consultation, but the stylist there had told me that she couldn't get my hair all the way white blonde in one session, even though I'm a natural blonde, and the bottom half of my hair had already been made that color in one session. Between that and several other red flags, I decided to give LUX a call, and book a consultation with Virgo, instead. When I checked in, she said, "Oh, you look different in the picture I have of you in the computer. You have brown and purple in your hair." "Oh," I said, "That was probably like, twelve years ago. I probably look a lot younger." We both laughed, and then I sighed a little bit. Oh, to be that young again... Anyway, Virgo told me that she specializes in color correction, and was very confident that she would be able to get my hair white blonde in one session, especially since the bottom half was already that color, and had been done in one session. When I told her that I wanted to get a pink and peach split, she told me that she had actually done that on herself last year. So, she knew what I meant when I said I wanted peach, not orange. The girl from the midtown salon hadn't seemed to understand the importance of double processing my hair, but Virgo definitely did. She explained, "We'll make sure to bleach out all of the brassy tones so that they don't show through in the pink and the peach. But, we won't bleach the bottom part, since that's already bleached. We'll just tone that part." Obviously, I ended up booking an appointment with Virgo. She said she only needed to trim an inch or two, but I had her take off a lot more than that. I was so sick of having long hair. She bleached my hair all the way white, and then added peach to one side, and pink to the other, just like we had discussed. I love the way my hair turned out. This is something that I was looking forward to having done for months, and I am super happy with the results. Altogether, it took about five hours to do my hair, which is honestly faster than usual. Last time I had foils done all over my whole head, it took nearly eight hours. Passing the time with Virgo was easy. We talked about all kinds of things, from Brad Mondo to parenting to competitive pole dancing. She also made sure I had plenty to drink and plenty to keep me entertained during the periods when she had to step away. I didn't end up buying any product, because I already have a lot at home. But, the stuff that she showed me and put in my hair made my hair so smooth, and smelled so good, I just might have to go back and get some, after all. I will definitely come back to see Virgo again in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone else who is looking to have their hair colored, especially if you're looking for custom colors or color correction.

Republic Salon is TRASH, and I would not recommend this place to anyone. My appointment was with…read moreAlisha at 10am. I live 40 min away from the Salon but they had good reviews so I booked an appointment. I did not expect that level of unprofessionalism and cattiness from the employees. I have a very busy work schedule that includes a lot of traveling between Sacramento, LA and Seattle. I only have ONE day off, Wednesday's. Which I let the Salon know. After making the 40 min drive and arriving, I find out that my appointment was canceled with NO contact from the stylist or the salon. She had booked someone else for the same time slot. When I asked to get a different stylist and explained how far I lived the receptionist told me no one was available. I asked to speak with the manager and both the receptionist and Alisha told me they are unable to give that information out. Both kept repeating "we are all self employed". Alisha's reason for "canceling" my appointment was because I didn't reply to her text which had asked for a picture of my hair goals. I pulled up the text thread which shows not just one reply but TWO that I sent to her. She denied ever receiving my messages. I did not receive a text or phone call from neither her or the salon, canceling my appointment. After reading the reviews on here, appointment canceling seems to be pretty standard for this place. Trust me, don't waste your time going here. What terrible customer service and poor reflection on the salon. I left completely having wasted my time and feeling very upset by the entire ordeal. What a couple of employees can do to a business, unbelievable. I would not recommend this salon to anyone.

Jessica has done it again!…read more I went to Jessica last year for the first time in April 2022 where she colored my hair from a natural black to a blonde, and I loved her work so much that I decided to use her again to color my hair from blonde with black roots to a platinum blonde! And I must say, she still did not disappoint and made me look amazing once again! Just for some context, I reached out to Jessica last-minute (only two days before my appointment!) but after working some things out with our schedules, she was able to fit me in right before closing time! I also want to note that I live just over 100 miles from this salon (I was visiting family in the area when I went here the first time and was in a pinch to find a great salon) but Jessica was and is still worth making the drive! She took the same time that she did last time in one appointment - two sessions in about 2.5 hours, and let me tell you, that is not easy to pull off! But Jessica came to the rescue once again! Jessica is friendly, personable, and fun to have conversations with, and she once again made the hair coloring process enjoyable and easy. Their salon reminds me of a spa with beautiful modern touches and the facilities are well-maintained. Plus, they play great music (they were playing afrobeats, perfect for an early Saturday night to get you in the mood to party later that night lol)! I cannot recommend Jessica enough and I wanted to thank you again Jessica for a job well done!
