I came in for human hair micro braid at 8:30AM Friday morning and the ladies immediately got to work on my head. The shop was clean, easy to find, and next door to a cute little bakery. My style only took 5.5hrs to complete, which is impressive given the size of my braids. The two ladies who styled me, Flora and (I for the others name ) were very delicate with my head I actually fell asleep while they braided. Their website is easy to use and very user friendly. The site clearly details services offered, the approx time to complete, and starting price for all styles. The phone number listed is accurate and the stylist are very responsive to inquiries. They've got an iG page as well if you'd like to see photos of their work. 10/10 experience for me, I'll definitely be going back.

Run, don't walk if you're Polynesian and ready to see your curls live their best life with Caroline! I've always been nervous about getting my curls done and usually just defaulted to straightening, but I'm so glad my partner nudged me to book with her after we found her on social media. I've never seen my curls this defined. Not only did she style my hair beautifully, she took the time to teach me how to care for it myself and even had me snap photos of the products she used. After the appointment, she followed up with videos walking through the steps because, let's be honest, I forgot half of what she told me the second I left I seriously can't recommend her enough. It was also such a fun bonus that she's Tongan like me! She's warm, welcoming, and super open to feedback, which meant a lot since I've had stylists in the past get weird about that. My hair ended up a little bigger than I'm used to, and when I asked if we could tone it down and switch up the part, she was completely receptive. Not only did she happily adjust it, she thanked me for speaking up and said her goal is always for clients to leave loving their hair. Anyway, I know this is long, but she's truly incredible. Go see her! Luseane

Caroline is my hair soulmate! Sis, no matter what hair texture you have, come see Caroline and get…read morethe haircut + detox bundle. You will leave with better hair and a renewed state of mind - unbothered, moisturized, happy, focused, flourishing. You are worth it. All my life I thought I had straight hair with a natural tendency to frizz. It wasn't until recently that I suspected that I had wavy hair, and a close look in the mirror showed me that I had a loose wave pattern. Although I showed up at my previous hairdresser with my natural texture, she still styled it straight, and so I knew I needed a curl specialist. I found the Lush Curls salon through Yelp. I first scheduled an in-person consultation to (1) confirm if my hair was textured enough for a "curly" cut, and (2) get a feel of how Caroline was as a person. Not only did she confirm that I had wavy hair, more importantly she was super sweet and nice! I was so excited to get to my haircut, which we scheduled a week after. My haircut appointment felt more like a spa retreat than a regular cut/wash/style. For one, the salon is in a quiet corner of the building, and I was the only client there which my introvert self really appreciated. The haircut came first, a dry cut where Caroline worked with the layers I already had, as I was growing out a year old shag cut. We had already talked about the hair length and cut during the consult, so this went really quickly. Next came my favorite part, where I got a shampoo and detox/deep conditioning hair mask. During the shampoo, Caroline really got her hands in there and gave me a scalp massage so relaxing the rest of me melted into a mass of happy jelly. I'm pretty sure my mind went back to joyful childhood memories, it was that good. But she wasn't done with me! Next came a detox and deep conditioning hair mask, WITH STEAM. That magical steam soaked my hair but also gently flowed to my face and I was all about this free facial! Yay! (Note: Caroline also offers the scalp treatment (with the life changing massage) separately. I'm planning to do that in between haircuts.) After Caroline woke me up from that blissful experience, it was time for the styling. She showed me what products she will be using (I took pictures), how to use them and in what order. She gave me a mirror so I can watch her apply hair foam section by section behind my head, and also to see how she diffused my hair dry. She had me lean forward later on as part of the diffuse dry process. By the time she was done, I WAS SHOOK. The good kind of shook. I didn't really have expectations on what my hair would do, maybe a loose wave here and there. There were waves everywhere!!! What shocked me the most was that I had ringlets in there too! Such a happy surprise. Caroline's magic handz brought forth what I didn't think even existed with my "straight" hair. As soon as I got home I sent my sister a picture of my curly haired self. She asked me if I was running for office. Maybe it's the red balloons on the side (from a kid birthday party), but I'd like to think it's my new curly hair rizz, thanks to Caroline!
