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…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!

I will go there to have my hair cut and colored. I will blindly trust someone else... I booked, I went. I started with Jenna, and now Jenna is my "person": fun and bubbly, full of energy, always with new hair that I envy - I want her living with me so that she gives me a fierce blowout everyday, and gently combs my hair goodnight. Too much? She takes her time, even when she's busy, has the best recommendations, cares for my hair, and genuinely knows her craft. I have always felt #1 priority in her chair. She has a magic touch with my strands. Jenna is my favorite stylist ever and she must never leave. The salon prices are reasonable. I have long-ish hair. Full head of highlights + gloss + cut is about $235 (w/ Jenna).

Giving 4 stars bc the wifi/cell service (even using data) is so bad that it's basically unusable, which is normally not a huge deal, but tough when you have a big head of hair and your appointments last 2+ hours (no fault of the stylists, obviously). Would give 4.5 stars if I could, bc this isn't the stylists fault - just wish they could fix it!

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.

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.

You stayed quite as a mouse and didn't utter a word abs now you are claiming you wanted to help. I gave you guys three chances to help! Fourth time it was you who said " at this point we can not do much!" On top if that Elma told me to buy the fake hair purple clip ons from Amazon to use in my hair to get the look!! I couldn't believe she was suggesting me that after all I went through at her salon!! Yes I am crying yet again as I am typing this and regretting my visits to your salon! Yes my hair were so bad within two weeks that I had to cut my hair with heavy heart! You were blankly rude and offered no help yo resolve! Jessi ( who introduced herself as "I'm Colombian and we have beautiful hair") said I have to see my hair in the day light when I said all three times I DO NOT SEE COLOR PURPLE streaks what I asked her for! You messed up! Admit it! If you couldn't do it what I asked for then at least you could have told me and saved me the hassle plus my hair! It's a shame that you are cheating people like this! Plus making lame excuses by lying! You educated me about what I'm sorry!!! Shame on you for lying. You completely failed to give me a speck of purple in my hair! Shame on you actually! Least you can do is apologize and stop! And no One is bullying you here! You never offered to help! My hair became so patchy and spotty without even watching them! Red color came off on my white leather couch, car seat, bed sheets! Hair broke from half way in length that I couldn't leave them open or tied! I had no choice than to chop them!! I felt horrible, angry, and helpless. You didn't reach out with your wonderful help until I posted this review! I have been coloring my hair for the last 15 years so please don't teach me your fake lesson as I know my hair well! Never had this type of experience ever before! Too bad you don't like your consumers telling the real stories of their experiences! The only person here needing luck is you if you will not change your service quality and customer service! Attached are the pictures of purple streaks I showed Jessi/Jess/ Jessica And all red is my head without any purple hair. Not only that red color came off patchy after the attempts made by the salon also my hair broke from the length ! Also attaching the text I sent to the owner along with pictures. No offers were made to me to correct the color or anything! Worst worst worst salon in NJ! I lost my beautiful hair to this salon! You complain owner will blame it back on you blaming your hair type!
