I found Lucy through Google and am always a little skeptic when trying to find a new beautician. She answers the phone and returns phone calls, so that was a plus. I inquired about some prices and was pleased that her rates were not through the roof. She was able to accommodate me for a late appointment. When I arrived, I noticed she sells supplies and hair. (Very convenient) I had some requests and let Lucy do her thing. She did exactly as I requested, was quick and very polite. I was so impressed, I referred my daughter and we are now both seeing Lucy on the regular for everything from braids to extensions. I am so glad I found her. read more

Lucy is THE braid queen! She hooked me up with exactly the style I was looking for and she did it quickly and meticulously. Her shop is very clean and always stocked with the products I've traditionally struggled to find. I will absolutely be going back to her for all my braid needs. Thanks, girl, I love my look. read more

I haven't had braids since I was in my 20s, but I wanted an easy style for my trip to Europe. My experience with Lucy left me with mixed feelings. Pros: 1. I was able to get the appointment time that I wanted. 2. Clean shop and restroom facilities. 3. Hair sold on sight 4. Great location 5. My hair came out nice, but a little too tight. More about that in the next section. 6. It took her 4 1/2 hours (with help) to do small/medium sized boxed braids. CONS: I put this in all CAP letters for a reason. 1. My appointment time was for 10am. She did not start until 11am!! I didn't get an apology or anything. I barely got a hello when I walked in. After working on my hair for a couple of hours, she finally told me why she started late. The previous client requested two tracks of hair, but come to find out she actually needed FOUR. Lucy claimed she didn't say anything about it and just did it because she was "a new client". I WAS A NEW CLIENT AS WELL! So I get to sit there for an HOUR waiting on your other new client. Before she started my hair, I told her I needed to be out by 3pm. She said no problem. When I was walking out the door at 3:25pm, she said "see I got you out at 3". Actually it was 3:25, and I had to HAUL ASS to make a doctor's appointment at 3:40. 2. She does not have a soft touch. She's hard on your head, and not very gentle at all. It was QUITE painful at times if I'm being honest. When she was braiding the front part of my hair, she even poked me in the eye a few times. I did not complain for fear she'd take EVEN LONGER and after our late start I was afraid I'd miss my doctor's appointment. 3. I don't know if she woke up cranky, but she was not very friendly. She didn't even ask me my name until she was deep into braiding my hair. She was more interested in talking to the young lady who was helping her. I guess some people would see this as a pro (the non-talking type) but I'm a new client. It just felt super awkward and weird. At one point, I think she texted another beautician in the shop something about me because I heard her laugh. 4. Speaking of texting...she was on her phone A LOT. She was booking other clients for not only herself but also outside contractors to come into her salon. I also overheard her requesting hair from her purchaser. 5. Last but not least, the price kept changing when it was time for me to pay. She told me multiple amounts. It was VERY confusing and unprofessional. Unfortunately, although I'm happy with the braids for the most part (a little too tight), I WOULD NOT recommend Lucy. I drove a LONG way, and as a NEW client, I was hoping to have a better experience. read more

My first time getting box braids! Medium sized. They look and feel great. Lucy is very fast and got me back over the hill before 2! I had expected to be there until nearly 5. The LA space is very cute. Beautiful view. If it takes her a minute to respond to your text it's because she is busy braiding at the speed of light! read more

Lucy is the absolute best and provided the outstanding customer service and product knowledge. I was looking for crotchet curly hair and Lucy sold me the Tiki Curl Rast Afri hair, Doo Gro Anti Itch Oil and Sulfur8 Medicated dandruff treatment. The product is amazing and looking forward to shopping with her again and booking my first appointment. read more

I've been coming to Lucy for about 5 years and absolutely love the new location. I'm so pleased with the quality of work that is provided. I've gotten beautiful individuals, Senegalese twist, today kinky twist. I literally drive from Ventura county just for the quality and care and excellence of service. Beautiful shop, time efficient and exceptional quality I highly recommend you trying this full service salon. Including providing braiding hair to purchase for whatever look you desire. read more

I've been a client of Lucy for over a year now. I love the fact I can have many protective styles, and have my natural hair continue to grow. When I first found Lucy on yelp, I had a pixie cut, growing out a relaxer and wanted a protective weave. Accomplished and more! Lucy was amazing at creating many different styles and just yesterday I got small braids done by Lucy. I love them, beyond words. I have a lot of hair, and Lucy finished my braids in about 4 hours!! Can we say amazing!!! I love the fact the braids aren't heavy, so neat and my head didn't hurt afterwards. Thank you Lucy for keeping my hair looking great all the time. read more

Lucy is absolutely amazing!!! She was quick to respond to my inquiry. She was extremely polite and patient with my many questions. We agreed on an 9 am appt and she was on-time, we began almost immediately after my arrival. She has gentle, soft hands and braided my hair in about 5 hrs. The location was beautiful with a great view of downtown LA and the outcome I couldn't be happier with. This was first time going to her and it's won't be my last. Definitely worth the long drive to LA. Thank you so much Lucy!!! Pics to come soon. read more

My daughter had her braids done for graduation and TeeTee did an excellent job. I've bought hair and products for her there before too, and everyone is always very helpful and friendly. read more

Worth every dollar, and she is very fast and detail oriented! She was easy to get along with and very knowledgeable as well. Her braid work made me feel like such a goddess, i constantly got compliments. Because my hair is pretty soft and wavy i was worried the braids wouldnt stay in long, but they lasted me over a month and that was with swimming and dancing and minimal care due to me being on vacation. I highly recommend going to Lucy, she will do magic on your hair! read more

BEST BOX BRAIDS I've ever had! Thank you thank you thank you LUCY! She answered all of my questions via text so promptly. Lucy is the fastest braider I've ever experienced. Her shop is very warm and welcoming with hair available to purchase. I was so nervous to get my hair braided again after a bad experience at another place.. so glad I found her shop! I have long thick hair and it only took her 4 hours. Thank you Lucy for such a great experience in your shop today, I will defiantly be back! read more

Seriously love this shop! All good energy and vibes and omg the braided are SO GOOD. Lucy, was pleasant and did an excellent job on my singles. Would recommend this shop a million times over. So glad I found them read more

I love my braids!!! I got my hair done by Lucy this week in her salon. Lucy and her assistant were very easy to talk to and we had a nice time chatting while my hair was being braided. It only took them 4 hours and my braids came out looking beautiful. Lucy operates out of a full service salon which she is part owner of. They offer thermal styling, weaves, etc., which I think I will be checking out after I take my braids out. Thanks Lucy!! I will be back! read more

I absolutely LOVED getting my hair braided by Lucy! First of all, I'm a white girl so I wasn't sure she would be able to get me the same look since my hair is different but I was BEYOND happy with how they turned out. They lasted me over two months and I so many people thought I had just gotten them put in even towards the end. I have to say that I really appreciated the fact that Lucy doesn't charge an obscene amount of money like other stylists had quoted me. I simply can't afford to spend $400 on braids, that's silly! Lucy was also happy to accommodate my crazy schedule by having me come to her at 6:00pm after she had been working all day. And when it came time to take my braids out she had me come back so she could help me remove them. I was struggling with getting them out but she did it super quickly. I just got my braids taken out a few days ago and I miss them so much so I'm going back on Monday to get them put back in! YAY!! read more

I was looking for someone to do box braids for me that was close to my apt. I found Lucy through Yelp and decided to go to her as she has AMAZING reviews. I also checked out her pictures and they even made it more clear that I needed to go to her. I was so pleased with the outcome. Not only are they exactly how I pictured but they were done fast. I'll never go to anyone else from now on! read more

Has the best selection of braiding hair hands down! Every type/ color of rastafri, freetress, and any other brand you can think of. The owner is the sweetest and will get anything you need! Always buying my hair, edge control, and anything else I need here!!! read more

I feel like I am a weave and braid connoisseur! I have been getting braids and weaves for the past 8-9 years. I found Lucy from instagram @hersmoothskin and decided to try her braiding. She was so professional, neat in her braiding technique and very fast. She advised that we do a modified box braid (poetic justice) and reduce the size to help the strain on my fine hair texture and edges. That immediately made me feel comfortable and secure in not only her skill but her hair care technique. My braids have been up for a 5 1/2 weeks and it has grown 1/2 inch from her precise technique. I went for a touch up yesterday and I look fresh and new just as I did 5 weeks ago. I sincerely recommend her for Braids and the overall experience. read more

So I just moved here for NY & was looking for a great stylist to give me box braids as a protective style & I must say Lucy nailed it!

I have had my 2nd weave job with her and is absolutely pleased. Lucy is a perfectionist. Being relatively new to getting my weave done I was concerned about ensuring that it looked as natural as possible. Being a professional woman I wanted to ensure that I adhere to corporate America yet have a little spunk on my off days. She takes pride in her skill. From the tiniest details as to ensure that my edges blends perfectly to the attention to details when braiding and laying my tracks; she is just amazing. I received a full weave with a tad bit left out to give a natural look; color and not to mention deep conditioning of my transitioning hair. Her professionalism and care is just exceptional. She books weeks in advance. Why? Because she is the best weave specialist in LA. At least in my book. I'm sure you'll feel the same. Thanks Lucy. read more

Lucy has been braiding my hair for about 3 years now and I have never had any complaints! I'm overly satisfied every time. My braids are always gorgeous and I get so many compliments. She also keeps it real about hair health. I have fine hair and my hair type can't handle super heavy braids so she's honest with me about that. Additionally, she is very professional and just overall a nice person to be around and talk to while you're sitting there getting your hair braided for hours. No one enjoys sitting for hours with a boring or rude person right?? She also braids really fast which baffles me every time because I always get super long braids. As long as I'm in LA i'll hit up my girl Lucy :) read more

WHAT!!! read more

I've gotten my hair done by the same person since I started getting weaves but she became unreliable. I found Lucy online and decided to give her a try. I am obsessed with her!!! My weave had never looked better and the process of getting it done is so enjoyable. She has a great personality and is amazing at what she does! So so so worth it. I refuse to get my hair done by anyone else read more

So Anyone who is reading reviews and can't decide to either get braided just stop reading and get it done here by the one n only Lucy and Joy. My braider was Joy and I also meet Lucy. Both ladies are respectful and welcoming. They treat you with respect and SUPER POLITE. Don't think Iam writing a review because they ask me to leave one , NOOO IAM writing a review because my braider JOY DID AN AWESOME JOB ON MY HAIR . They let me know which hairstyle accommodates my hair because I have fine thin hair and didn't want any breakage. My braider Joy did my braids and they're super neat and her line work is so beyond . I have no fly always my hair is tight but not toooo tight. They take the time to braid each braid right. She did different shape designs on my hair for each braid and I didn't even ask her which that was COOL to me . They also sell hair in their store for more convenience, which I did . It does take about 6-8 hours to get your hair done if you get it long like me . I live an hour and a half to just go check this place out and I LOVEEEE LOVE THEM. Parking is good too there is a lot of parking so no worries. It's located in a plaza and I'm so glad I found this HIDDEN GEM Thank you so much read more

Love that she doesn't braid super tight. She's quick and at a price that makes sense. I'll be back.

I moved here from NY in need of a hair stylist after getting a horrible weave. I was in a hurry and needed to find one quick! I googled hair stylists in the area and found Lucy. Once I went to her, I felt like I hit the jackpot! I got tracks put in and her braids were neat and my tracks are flat. She's very thorough and detailed. Unlike other stylists I've been to before, Lucy was professional and made sure that I was satisfied before leaving. I would definitely recommend Lucy! read more

This place is amazing! I bought 22" and 24" bundles and had them installed by Lucy. The quality of the hair is AMAZING. It looks SO natural and the maintenance is very straight forward. Lucy literally has like a magic hand! I had a partial weave installed and it lasted a solid 3 and a half months with very basic upkeep in between. Lucy does an INCREDIBLE job and her prices are beyond reasonable, especially considering the quality of her work. I can't even express just how happy I am with the services and hair I received. Oh, and the place has awesome parking! 10/10 recommend! read more

I LOVE LUCY! She has been braiding my daughter's hair for five years now, and she is truly an artist and just a wonderful human being. She brings so much care, attention to detail, and creativity to her work; plus she has the gentlest hands ever. My daughter is tender-headed and has very thick hair, so Lucy created an individualized approach that makes the whole braiding process miraculously efficient and painless. Her hair now reaches the bottom of her back! A magical touch, a great vibe, and a shop full of all the products you need--Lucy is the best. read more

My experience here was beyond brilliant! I called the same day and was in the chair within 2 hours. Not only was it great convenient service, but it was a very social laid back environment(with Netflix) that really added a pick me up to my day. Joy did a great job on clarifying exactly what I needed to have done(I get my hair braided up every few months because I'm a regular wig wearer), and she even made sure to add oil to my scalp at the end. Best of all of course was that the braiding was not too tight so I had no worries of impending headaches but also not too loose that I would worry about it lasting. I will definitely be back the next time I take my hair back down. read more

First, let me start off by saying that I am (admittedly and for better or for worse) extremely picky when it comes to getting my hair done by a stylist. I am the type of girl that would drive across county lines to stay with the same stylist once I find a good one should I happen to move. I have been getting my hair done by Lucy Lomuro for a over a year now and I could not be happier. When I first moved to LA my barely shoulder-length hair was relaxed and breaking due to damage. I put my hair up in full and partial extensions from 2008 - 2012, which allowed my hair to grow to a very nice and long (healthy) length, mid-back level. Unfortunately, I decided to add ombre to my hair, which again destroyed it and I had to get it chopped back up to shoulder length where it is now. I've been seeing Lucy after getting it chopped and she has been helping it grow and get it's length and sheen back. The extension selection she has is amazing. I believe she has 8 different textures for all types of hair. She has clients of every ethnicity and hair structure, so anyone can go to her to get their hair braided and/or have extensions put in. She does African braiding, so the extensions and braids stay looking amazing for much longer than other hair stylists I have seen do the same type of work. I highly recommend getting hair from Hair Extensions Defined and getting it done by Lucy. I can't wait until my hair is naturally back at the length it grew out to, but in the meantime I have my HED (Hair Extensions Defined) hair and I know I'm in good hands! read more

Lucy is awesome!!!! I've had my hair braided by her twice now and have been extremely satisfied. She's helpful in making suggestions on styles and she stands by her work. I'll never go to anyone else now. read more

Lucy was amazing! To start the the salon is beautiful and I was asked if I wanted a water or mimosa! (Not use to this type of service at a salon) Lucy arrived on time, she told me she lives close by so she is always on time! I got weave installed with a little leave out. She braided a little too tight on the top and she gladly took it out and loosened it! She also helped me blend my natural hair with the kinky curly weave and it was perfection! She is very easy to talk to and friendly. I will def be back and I like how she does braids and trims as well. She also mentioned how her installs usual cost 220 but she has a summer time deal at 180 (still a bit pricey but I didn't mind cuz she was awesome) parking lots on the same street, I paid 5 dollars! I love her! read more

Definitely a waste of 250+ dollars . It seems as though the owner is proficient with braids and not weaves . I came here to get my first Hair Weave sew in and thought I would be met with a professional hairstylist that would instruct me on how to take care of the weave, One that cares about the health of my hair and is knowledgeable about all curly hair types. Only I was met with complete reluctance to answer any of my questions, and a rushed job. One of my tracks became loose and is popping out at the end and when I went back to get the rest of my hair installed The stylist didn't even bother to fix it. I really wanted to give this place a good rating, but I feel like I wasted my money. read more

Love love love this place! This beauty supply store is amazing. She has so much product and inventory to choose from. I was looking for braiding hair and boy did I find the Mecca! She has so many varieties, colors, textures, lengths and tons of hair products. I ended up getting rastafri braiding hair, which is really hard to find as many colors as she has, in LA. I will definitely come back to place for ALL my needs. I used to shop Alice Beauty Supply but no more. This place is my new go-to and I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a great beauty supply to come here. read more
