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.

I have…read morewavy/curly hair that is so unruly and hard to maintain so I am often weary of trying a new salon but Lumie knew just how to cut, color, and style my hair! My stylist was Maggie and she is absolutely amazing! She was very communicative and was able to help me achieve just what I wanted. She explained every step of the process to me and taught me so much about how to care for my hair. I left the salon with bouncy shiny curls and instructions on how to recreate them at home and couldn't be happier. Such a great experience. Thank you Maggie!

The first time was ok- I noticed my nail tech used the same tools for both my friend and I, but decided to look past it. I returned a couple weeks later for a refill and to fix a couple broken nails, but the fill-in completely ruined my real nails. It was so bad I even considered getting the extensions removed at urgent care Such a shame considering their techs are nice & prices are good :/

I came back before the 45 minutes was up and they said I missed the person who would've service me. The person who told me I could leave, did not want to speak to me but had someone else speak for her and she told the person what to say. I don't care about the work or prices, I will not allow any to tell me one thing and not take accountability for their miscalculation of time. My money may not affect them but I WILL NEVER RETURN because of disrespect.

My experience has always been great My daughter recommended it to me, as I was newbie to Brazilian waxing. I will never go back to shaving, and I will always be a loyal patron at this location. The service is always quick, and semi- painless or at least tolerable if you follow the recommendations, (don't wait too long in between treatments for hair to grow back to long) it's affordable, very clean facility and super friendly staff. Alex takes great care to make sure you are bikini or lingerie ready all year long. Don't delay...Book your appointment today. Shelita C. Newark, NJ

My friend and I went for spray tans here. There was a literal child behind the reception desk, a…read moreyoung boy (I'm not joking; I don't know where the adults were). Needless to say, he couldn't find our appointments. He managed to squeeze us in, apparently by giving us some other woman's timeslot bc she showed up pitching a fit during our sprays. We asked where to go for the service. And instead of going behind reception to the salon rooms, we were sent back out the door to the salon, up a few flights of stairs inside an old apartment building. When we got to the piles of black garbage bags stacked in the hallway, the door to the spray room was to the right. There's a tiny, shabby waiting room, if you can call it that, and a janky storage room/janitor closet. Plus, the woman getting sprayed had left her stuff all over the one chair, open handbag and everything. The tan itself didn't really look like much, except on my face, which was really dark. But everywhere else you couldn't really notice it. So, nope. Would not recommend. PS: If this review convinces you to go here, be prepared to get totally nay-nay except for disposable paper undies.

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!

They offer products for you to use at home but they don't pressure you to buy anything. This location is in a strip mall with plenty of parking so no worries about that.
