Lux was putting on a hair show and fundraiser for breast cancer awareness in cooperation with Saks this past Saturday. As a result there were about 15 of us in and out throughout the afternoon to get various styles done to our hair. Laura, who already had cropped blonde hair, came out with an auburn pixie cut that was absolutely adorable. Michelle had a braid around the top of her head and pinned back in a really classic look. Ann ended up with a 1940's partial updo. Daniel had this really crazy crimped look with her long dirty blonde hair. Sona had a beautiful beehive influenced look. Charlene and Nancy got their hair colored a really rockin' reddish color. Then, there were many others of course. Those are just a few really cool highlights to showcase the variety of looks they created. As for me, well mine took 2 hours, but turned out to be something I'd never been before. Lauren took every strand of my hair and in small groups wrapped it around a comb and crimped/flat ironed my whole head. It was a collaborative efforts with some other stylists. I really liked how they all gave each other feedback, shared ideas, and helped out as needed. While she worked on me, they talked about inspiration from classes they'd taken or hair shows they'd gone to. I was so excited to be someone they were bringing those styles to life on! After Lauren had all of my hair wrapped, crimped, teased, and sprayed she parted it to the side, and braided it around the left side of my head to create a waterfall effect. Then she clipped it all together at the base of the right side of my neck and teased that end of it to look like a tail end. As soon as I get some pictures, I'll be posting them to accompany this review. If you go to Lux for anything -- cut, color, style, or elaborate 'do -- you won't be disappointed! read more

Anytime I move to a new city, one of my biggest stressors is finding a new hair stylist. My hair isn't that challenging, but I am picky, especially I trying to maintain my natural blond color as much as possible. From the start Lux offered more than most salons. Their website has a lot of useful information, and I like that they have stylist profiles, including recent courses & areas of expertise. I also went into the salon and asked for recommendations for my personal hair type and preferences then made a selection based on the online profiles. I have been with Allison now for almost 2 years and couldn't be happier! She obtains a thorough consultation and never assumes I want the same thing each time. I have had my hair now short, long, and with side bangs and each time have received a fantastic hair cut and partial highlight. While having a great stylist is important, I have been to salons where the rest of the staff was so rude that I left just for that reason. The staff at Lux are always friendly, professional, and attentive. They always acknowledge a new guest immediately and anyone in the salon may ask if I need a water, coffee, or glass of wine. While I was very sad when they moved to their new location last year (which is now 20 minutes farther for me), the salon & it's staff are so wonderful that it's worth the extra drive! read more

If you need a relaxing place to get pampered then check out Lux! While your having your hair done you can relax with a soda or glass of wine and enjoy the easy going conversation and atmosphere. I started going to Lux after Kristen H. gave me a fabulous updo for a friends wedding. She made me feel super relaxed and talked to me in depth about my likes/dislikes with my hair. I scheduled a color, cut, and style after that updo and absolutely fell in love with her skill and talent. She always takes the time to consult with what I want then she makes recommendations that are spot on. read more

I started going here about three years ago and have been coming back ever since. Really great location that is always clean and stylish inside. Kristin does a great job with my color and cut every time. She also did a blow out for my engagement pictures and it looked amazing. The staff is also great at making future appointments. I can either call into book or book several appointments in a row. No one ever pressures you to book or buy products, very professional. Just a tip on tips; they only except cash or checks read more

As a former San Francisco resident, the salon prices don't phase me. A previous Yelper wrote "you get what you pay for" at Lux. With that said, I must caveat that what you get will truly depend on your stylist. With that said, this review on Lauren, who I have visited for both color and cuts, exclusively. She is warm, thorough, and you walk out feeling like a million bucks. Lauren is highly recommended. read more

I was visiting Raleigh, NC for the week from MD. Most of the hair dressers in my area are either super expensive or don't cut my hair the way I like it. I decided to yelp hair salons on my last day visiting and ran into Lux Salon. The reviews were amazing and all the cuts looked great so I decided to request an appointment. I personally requested someone who is great with layers because my last hair dresser butchered my hair which is why I wanted a fix. They booked my with Heather and I'm so glad they did! She was so sweet and helped me achieve the cut I exactly wanted. I explained to her everything I was looking for in my cut and she went above and beyond to achieve it. She was so thorough and took her time to make sure everything was perfect! And plus side, her pricing is GREAT. I have officially found my new hair dresser. I will def be coming down from MD whenever I need a haircut. I def recommend her! She is amazing! You will not regret it! read more

Yes; Lux is pricey. You absolutely get what you pay for. I have been going to Allison for almost 5 years now, and I absolutely adore her. She is so incredibly gifted at what she does. Shes honest, kind, and takes the time to discover what you really want. If can give her a picture, and she will give you exactly what you want, or you can tell her an idea and she will create a style that is perfect for you. Overall, she is easily the best hair stylist I have ever had. Appointments are always prompt and timely at Lux, and they are very helpful at trying to work with your busy schedules! Give Lux a shot, and you will be hooked. No other salon can compare! read more

Today was my first hair salon visit in over 6 months! I left with the most fantastic haircut and color via highlights I've had in years! Thank you Natalie for your patience, your talent, for realizing what was working and what wasn't, and for giving me a super style. I love it! You're perfection definitely paid off! The salon did an awesome job with distancing and safety measure. It was a great experience! read more

Fancy! I love it. Made me feel welcomed. Came in to do my eyebrows and Tiffany was awesome! Been there twice. Next is my hair! Tiffany is a doll! Third or fourth time visiting the salon and love it! She did a great job on my hair. I was nervous about the color and she nailed it! Priced out perfectly and I think I found my salon! That's a lot coming from me. read more

This salon is awesome! I've only been once, but had a great experience AND the best haircut ever. If you have curly hair go see Christina Hardesty! She is sweet, very friendly, and did an awesome job with my curly hair. She is very knowledgeable with curly hair and did I mention very friendly? I felt so comfortable talking with her and she really listens. I recently got married and was so nervous having someone cut my hair for the first time, but so glad I made the trip to see Christina. I live near Southpoint, but plan to go back for my next hair cut. Everyone was so nice and friendly and didn't seem snobbish like some people can be at an upscale salon. I feel so much more confident with my hair and have received so many compliments. Thank you Christina and Lux salon!!! read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I went today in a VERY short notice. They booked me with Leen Lorig. She is amazing. I have never seen my hair so beautiful and stylish. It looks so amazing that I went with the idea of cutting at least 4 inches and after seeing the results I decided to keep it long. I am definitely coming back and will recommend to everyone. Thank you Leen read more

I was extremely disappointed in my last visit at Lux Salon. My stylist, Kelly Jo, had been taking my medium brown hair back to blonde. I had been told by the receptionist that she was the girl I needed to see if I wanted to get back to blonde! I already knew the process would be slow so I was expecting to only be a couple shades lighter after each visit. They also use Olaplex which is great for lightening your hair safely and it can help speed the process up. When I had my first appointment, Kelly Jo cut tons off my damaged hair, did a 1/2 head of highlights, she deepened my roots, 2 Olaplex treatments, a blow-dry, and style. At the end of that visit, my bill was $250. I know that was on the more pricey side but I hadn't had a haircut in forever and the Olaplex treatments were definitely necessary. I was disappointed that there was no scalp and neck massage included with my treatments too because even super inexpensive salons do that! Also, my hair was so short, my neck had to be shaved - so you can reference the cost and length with this with my next visit... I set up an appointment 6 weeks later for one Olaplex treatment, 1/2 head of highlights, and deeper roots! I didn't need a haircut yet since my hair was cut so short a month & 1/2 before & I didn't mind walking out with damp hair since the cut was made to look great messy. When I was checking out, my total was $320! THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS. I was confused because I didn't get a haircut, second Olaplex treatment, blow-dry, or style that I had gotten the first time and somehow my bill was an extra $70. I was sick to my stomach because I knew I shouldn't have paid more than $200 with Kelly Jo's tip included. They basically refused to break down the bill for me and I was stuck footing this expensive hair experience. Not to mention, when I came home and styled my hair myself, there was ZERO difference in the lightness of my hair, which was the entire point of even getting the 1/2 head of highlights. I am extremely disappointed with Lux Salon and honestly don't recommend this place to anyone. In my opinion, it's a rip-off and even after calling back to share my concerns, I never heard back from anyone in the salon, which is extremely unprofessional in my book. read more

Be sure to check their website for different promotions. I got my hair done right after mother's day and they had a promo "buy $x in gift cards get $x free". I bought ahead and went to my appointment the next week. I was serviced by Chastity and she was great! I showed her a picture of what I wanted via pinterest and she expertly told me that I wanted Honey Blonde Balayage. When my hair didn't turn out as blonde as I wanted, she had no problem giving me another keratin treatment to make sure I was satisfied. Clean and classy establishment. read more

Luv luv luv my haircut! Amanda did a great job! She was fast, professional, friendly and honest about my hair! Everyone made me feel welcome when I walked in the door! Haircut was more than I usually pay but well worth it! I will definitely be back! read more

After countless horrible haircuts and colors, I couldn't find it in me to go back anywhere to get anything done. After half of my hair was one color and the rest my natural I had to do something! I was referred to LUX and got an appointment with Amanda. I'm a very optimistic person and hoped for the best, I knew my hair was not going to be an easy task and I was worried to say the least. Amanda was absolutely FANTASTIC! I am so in love with what feels and looks like brand new hair! After 5 years in NC, I've actually found my place to go back too! read more

This place is amazing...cool decor, excellent service, and highly skilled stylists. Kelli Jo is wonderful. She is very kind and detail oriented and makes sure that you LOVE your hair! I will definitely be a Lux patron long-term and recommend it to others. Tip-Lux accepts cards. However, bring cash for the tip :) read more

I'm really happy with the service I get at Lux. My stylist is Kim, and she seems very knowledgable and will stand up & tell me if I ask for a color that's not going to look good on me. Don't get me wrong - she gives me just what I want - but has the nerve to let me know if something I ask for is really going to be a mistake. AND - this was on my 3rd visit. This tells me she is comfortable with her craft and honest. I really love that in a stylist. If this review were just for Kim, there would be 5 stars for sure. I only give 4 vs. 5 because of price. Like others, I suppose you get what you pay for, but I do think it's a little high for this market. I have had BAD cuts for $55, so am willing now to pay extra to ensure I am happy when I leave. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place. Pricing is super reasonable considering the high quality of the service. I met with Madeline for my first appointment and she asked me all sorts of questions to make sure I got the perfect cut for me. I was thrilled with the final result. Headed back soon to get a blowout! read more

I had Samantha do my hair and wow is she amazing! I've never been more obsessed with my hair. She definitely exceeded my expectations! Will for sure be coming back to her for all my hair needs! Also referring my friends:) thank you Samantha struck read more

I had the best experience with Samantha Struck. She did a full balayage and cut with layers. I always go to hairstylist and feel that my hair always comes out looking the same. When I went with Sam I did not feel this at all I can notice a complete difference in my hair and felt like it brightened up my whole look! I cannot recommend a better salon nor a better stylist to complete your hair goals!! read more

First time there and the service was great. My stylist Tiffany did an amazing job and took her to listen to what I wanted for my haircut.

I won't be coming back here. I wanted to try it out but I am not happy paying $70 for a haircut trim when I asked for long layers. It was a nice salon and I'm sure they are great for coloring since everyone there got color. I just wanted a hair cut and I regret spending way too much for the results and quality of service. read more

Today was my first visit to lux salon! I found them through Instagram and was immediately impressed with their work! So I took a risk and tried a new salon and requested Kelli Jo based off of the pictures I saw on Instagram. She did amazing on blonde hair so I thought she must do the same for dark brown hair right?? YES is the answer! She was amazing!!! Listened to what I wanted and delivered a beautiful rich brunette color I was wanting! I felt like I had been going there for years! The staff was super friendly and I even think one of the owners came and made sure my cape was hooked right and straightened my towel around my neck for me. Amazing service and friendly staff. I will definitely be back to this awesome salon! Thanks for everything! read more

Three's a charm won't happen. My first experiment was ok. The second and last experience was terrible, I was there almost 5 hours. I took pictures of the balyage end result I wanted. As soon as she started to blow dry my hair I wanted to cry! it was the polar opposite. I explained my concern to the front office manager who offered to fix it. I appreciate they were able to fix it however I will never go back. The amount of time and prices are extreme for the end product read more

TERRIBLE. On the right is what i showed my stylist for what i wanted, on the left is what I got. YES my hair is GREY. Beware, save your money and do not go here!!!! read more

I've been looking for a new hair stylist and had gone to Lux many years ago so I thought I'd try it again. The first available was with Erin so I took it! She was AWESOME! Love my new hairstyle! I recommend her and the salon! read more

I'm new to the area and found Lux Salon. I wanted to get my hair chopped short and booked an appointment with Heather. She was great! She talked me through the texture of my hair, what I wanted, how I usually style my hair, and what tools she would use to get the lightweight natural feel I wanted. 100% will be coming back. I've never loved a short cut on me until now! read more

Abby and Morgan pamper you before your first visit with a courtesy call to remind you of your appointment! For my hair, I work with Allison and she always takes the time to talk with me about how i'm liking my hair, color and she is very pleasant to work with. Marcella is absolutely the best when it comes to a pedicure and manicure. She also does waxing and light message. The pedicure area is private and she plays relaxing music...she uses cool lotions and scrubs...she is marvelous and very nice also. I have lived in Raleigh for five years and been to more salons then I will admit too. The Lux is my final stop ...I really enjoy the total experience! read more

I highly recommend this salon. We had a slight issue where my color came out too fast, and they immediately fixed it with no complaints. The place is super clean and staff are all nice and very helpful. Kelli Jo was an amazing hair stylist. 10/10 recommend. read more

I'm posting a review from the parking lot. I just got my hair cut here by a stylist named Chassity. I hope that's the right spelling. She was previously at Salon Blu and worked in Wilmington as well. She is newer to this salon. (A little over a month) I do not let a lot of people do my hair and normally getting a hair cut is stressful because I have had some bad experiences. I rely on reviews a lot of the time and when it comes to hair I know how women can be picky. You should be. I took a chance on a stylist I had never met and just went with it based on the salon reviews alone. I trusted the fact that all their stylists are so highly talented, educated and experienced from what I read on their website. I'm in awe that she was able to tame this crazy hair because I resort to a bun when it grows out. Now I have a place to get it maintained. No more messy buns! Ok, so maybe sometimes. Come check this place out. read more

Christina Hardesty is an amazingly talented stylist!!! Lux is a great salon and lucky to have her. If your just moving to the area or changing salons see Christina. I have challenging hair and she works magic!!;) She has been my stylist for 5 yrs, I'm moving to Pittsburgh and will miss her dearly:( read more

I am very picky with my hair especially the color. Hilights, low lights, you name it, I do it. My hair is my signature. I moved here from DC where I went the a celebrity stylist. I went to five different stylist and salons before I found Lux. All I can say is Ah-maze-ing. Lauren is my stylist/colorist. She takes her time blending and mixing the right color for me. I am addicted to her skills. However just not her, other stylists have filled in for her and they all have been amazing. I more than recommend this salon high quality service and talent. read more

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. That's it. I've never written a Yelp review before, but I feel as though this place deserved one! I was on the hunt for a place around the Triangle that does balayage hair; and since I have thick never-colored black hair to my waist, I wanted to find a place that does this "current" popular hair style the best - because for me this would have been a "drastic" change. Many places are just now getting into this, so I based my judgements on each salon's Instagram picture of actual clients - and Lux's results surpassed ALL the other places around the area for sure! During my visit, both Lauren, the main stylist, and Amanda, the trainee (who also did a GREAT job for her first time), listened and gave detailed advice on what would look best for my hair type - for both the cut and color. I'd showed them pictures from Pinterest and I believe the results were even better tbh. I've received so many compliments from friends/family/...and even strangers! The rest of the staff was extremely friendly and easy to talk to and it wasn't difficult to schedule an appointment! I had a great experience and I have been advising all my friends to check them out because I'll definitely be coming back again :) read more

So I was in search for a hair stylists and found Lux salon. I'm so glad I did... Upon reading reviews, I saw folks mentioning chastie. So I booked my appointment with her on Friday and was able to get a reservation the following Monday which was perfect. I arrived on time, meeting her on the spot took no time to wait. I was in at noon and out by 1:15. I got a shampoo and haircut with layers and bang trim. I trusted her with it and told her to cut as much she thought needed. She gave it great volume and texture. So glad I found her. She's very kind and bubbly. She has ten years of experience and that I can tell bc she did a great job. Wish I remembered to take before and after photos. Lol. Overall I will go back. Check this place out! read more

Friends. Do yourself a favor and make your appointment with Kennedy. This salon is so amazing. Super knowledgeable, friendly and relaxing atmosphere. My hair has never looked better! 10/10 read more

I've been a client for over 12 years and absolutely love my hair every time I leave. Wish I could have Tiff come do my hair at home everyday read more

I notice there aren't any reviews for Megan P. yet so let me be the first to say how great of an experience it was with her! As a caveat, I'm new to the area and have been searching for a new stylist but also don't always know what I want to do with my hair! She worked with me to address my concerns, and give me a color and cut I am really happy with! She's also really personable and easy to talk to. The only reason I give 4 stars is two reasons: that the color is still not exactly where I want it to be (but in all fairness changing your hair is rarely a one step process when it's dark and Megan more than once told me I could come back if I wasn't happy with it once I gave it some time, and gave me a suggestion on what we could do) and pricing. I come from Philly so the price itself didn't really surprise or displease me (I'm willing to pay for good hair!), it's more of a suggestion to give people an idea what to expect. I had received a wide range quote when I set up the appointment, and then the appointment took longer than expected and what I think was more steps (also a positive- Megan was super accommodating even though we went over the time allotted to make sure my color and cut/style were done properly!). So while I didn't necessarily dwell on it because I'm more concerned with the end result, it did occur to me a couple times that I had no idea how much this would cost. Again, it ended up being totally reasonable IMO, but with more expensive and time consuming efforts, it might be nice to give clients a general idea. All in all, the salon feels like a great experience and Megan is highly recommended! read more

I love Lux. I have been going here since I moved back to Raleigh from DC 4 years ago. I go to Nicole (but don't get any crazy ideas and high jack all her appointments). She also did the hair & makeup for my sisters wedding and it looked amazing. read more

I love this place! The staff and stylists are professional and very nice. I am a new client with just 2 visits - but I can't say enough good things about this salon. I was able to get in on short notice - and the stylist Christina took the time needed to give me a fantastic new cut and fix my color (I had done a poor color job, and she saw through that and made it so much better than I could have imagined!!). Christina is truly talented! She laid out what I would need to do for maintenance and my options to make it work for me. read more

I've been looking for a salon close by and found out about lux because I got a mailer offering 25% off treatment since I just moved to the area. I decided to take a chance and made an appointment over the phone and was happily surprised that they had an opening the same day. Upon arriving, after checking in, the receptionist offered to take my jacket. They also offer water, juice, or wine during your visit. This place is quite upscale--very clean, and what'd you'd picture a nice salon to look like. There are many stylists, so the place is busy, as there are a lot of clients getting their hair done in the back. I had an appointment with chelsea, who was very nice and made a big effort to keep a conversation with you. Chelsea was great: she spent a lot of time perfecting the cut and making sure it was exactly what I wanted. She wanted me to keep checking everything and asked if i was satisfied or wanted something changed. Super knowledgable, and a great listener in that she gave me a cut exactly as i asked! The one negative experience I had was that upon leaving, the receptionist handed me back my jacket and I left, and 10 minutes after I made it home, I get a call from the salon saying that I was given the wrong jacket (apparently someone else had the same jacket I did but a different size) and so I had to drive all the way back to exchange jackets. The receptionist at the front desk hardly apologized for the mixup (I basically drove an extra half hour) that they caused. :/ But hey, accidents are accidents. Other than that, i really did love my haircut. Just be sure you get your actual coat back! read more
