She was also able to give me a curly hair blowout which was unexpected and also perfection. I am badly in need of a cut but she made my long curly hair look so sleek, soft and beautiful.

Extremely negative experience with Nina. She was demeaning and dismissive. She attempted 2 or 3…read moretimes to end my haircut way prematurely after only a few snips. Even when she cut a little more at my insistence , I had to return because it was so bad, botched, uneven, and incomplete. When I walked into the salon for the "fix", the look on Ampy's face upon seeing my haircut said it all: a look of extreme disappointment and shock. The adjusted haircut was still not good. Nina is not good with curly hair! The only reasons that I am giving 2 stars rather than 1 are that I previously had good haircuts from Christen, who was always very nice, and Hazel has always been friendly, professional, and accommodating.

I have lived in NYC, Boston, SF, and Germany, and refuse to find someone closer. She is irreplaceable. She runs a great and professional business with Heysel.

Highly recommend!

I have been going to Grace, Diamond African Hair Braiding's owner, since before she had her own…read moreshop. My best friend introduced me to her, and when I wear my hair in protective crochet braids, I go to Maplewood from Queens, because she is that good. I don't go to hairdressers unless they are recommended to me. Grace is punctual, braids exceptionally neat, and wants to make sure you have an exemplary head of braids when you leave her chair because she knows that her customer's satisfaction and how their style looks and lasts is the best way to advertise. She also takes pride in her shop being neat and comfortable for her clientel as well. Grace may seem a little serious when you first meet her. That's because she is about business and knows what her talent is worth. Once you get to know her and you become a trusted customer you will see that she is a warm person who cares about your satisfaction. If you have a valid issue with her work, she always makes it right. Issues are far and few between because she is a perfectionist. She will also listen and be honest as to whether your hair can work for a particular style. You can also let her know how tender-headed you are and she will work with you.

I have been going here for many years and I love the coloring, highlights, hair cuts they have done. I have a lot of hair and difficult to manage and they had no problem in doing so.

My mom and I happened upon this place whilst we were looking for a hair dresser for me. My mom and…read moreI chose this salon because, since my mom is white, and my dad is black, I have hair that only Hispanic people know how to tame. We went in and I only had to wait a few minutes for a lovely young woman named Ingrid to do my hair. I loved my experience here, because even though Ingrid accidentally hurt me a little with her long-ass nails, the hair washing/massage felt amazing, and my haircut exceeded my expectations 100% and I left the salon feeling and looking amazing. Oh, and it is best to pay cash at this salon!

Lumie is an upscale salon in South Orange. It has an open, airy, clean design. Having now used…read moretheir services for about a year, I wholeheartedly recommend their services, especially for color and curly hair. Reflecting South Orange and Maplewood, their clientele is multi-racial as is their staff. Having spent years blow drying my hair straight, or sort of straight, I wanted to go back to my natural wavy/curly hair and correct my color. My natural color is medium brown but now is about half gray. For years, I'd colored it a dark auburn, but recently it had become unattractive, sort of harsh looking. Plus the salon I was using while friendly and reasonably priced had little experience in reviving curly hair. I have only had cut, color and highlights with Kosia, the owner. As a new client, we had a consultation. She examined my hair and carefully listened to what I wanted. We reviewed a book of hair color samples; I picked out a color. To set expectations, Kosia told me to take at least two coloring sessions before my hair would match the color I'd selected. She was right. Yes, my hair, when cut properly is curly. We both ended up experimenting with various products to find one that worked consistently well with my hair. Since waiting for color to set in is inherently boring, I spend a lot of time either reading or looking at the other hairdressers and their clients. I've rarely seen anything that doesn't look really good. I've also had my hair highlighted, and unlike prior experiences, the highlights blended very well with my hair so I only need to do this every other appointment. Prices are moderate for a high end salon in Essex County NJ. For example, my Rezo cut is between $100 to $200 at comparable NJ places and far higher in NYC. (Trust me, I checked). I pay $110 with the owner. To be honest, I was used to paying a lot less, but my hair did not look nearly as good. Every place else that provided similar services is roughly the same price or more. My hair looks great! The color is just what I wanted and I now have wavy curly hair. Really cannot recommend highly enough.
