Best Beauty Salons In South Orange

“Lumie is an upscale salon in South Orange. It has an open, airy, clean design. Having now used their 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.“

“I highly recommend this salon for those who have natural hair. I have been going to Maira for years and she makes my hair grow. I have been natural for years and always get a blow out. The stylists in the shop are very professional and know what they are doing.“

“This is my 1st time getting my lashes and eye brows done in new jersey because i could never find an affordable place with good quality service but i definitely will be coming back my experience was amazing the women that work here are very nice and welcoming it’s definitely recommended for lashes and eye brow threading“

“Ma Natural Roots Hair LLC is an amazing hair salon. Alicia is a fantastic stylist and hair artist! She is very versatile. She is knowledgable about hair care and hair treatments. She performs excellent hair cuts and styles that frame the client's face. She can also replicate many hair and braiding styles flawlessly.

Alicia cut and silk pressed my damaged hair, putting me on the road towards healthy hair. She also has a very pleasant personality and excellent prices. I highly recommend this salon and Alicia's services.“

“Went here to get my hair done by Chavon and when I tell you the atmosphere is so loving and comfortable. Love the big comfortable chairs, big mirrors along with the studio lights and very clean with soft relaxing music. I recommend this salon to anyone who loves a relaxing environment with great hospitality. I most certainly give Demetrius Day Spa and Stylist Chavon 5 Stars!!“

“Amazing place. Great people and respectful. Experienced and always do a great job every time.“

“Ms Ky is outstanding. She is a natural and she has the magic touch. Her shop is inviting, she does my granddaughter's hair. Started her locs and it has been an amazing and beautiful year long journey of self-love and self-confidence. Plus the seeds of love and joy that she has planted in the life of my granddaughter as they talk while having her hair done. Plus the styles are on point. Ky is participating in a second generation hair by using her expertise in locs. ????????????????“

“From the day I met Shakeria about a decode ago in a salon I knew I was in trusted hands. I've stayed her when she found new endeavors. Her skills are excellent and her salon is pristine. From time to you can see people talking and laughing. Definitely recommended. Positive vibes.“

“Loved my haircut. She did well to make sure the hair was well treated and made me feel comfortable. Loved the ambience, the other staff was so friendly too.“

“Liked my blow out but my cornrows could’ve been a lot better for $50. If they didn’t know how to do them that should be mentioned. My trim was great“
