Salon Lucente

My stylist was Kristi Shafer! I love her! She had a groupon deal for a Brazilian Blow-​out and that’s how I found her. I have difficult frizzy hair and I was desperate to try this blow out to see if it is all it’s cracked up to be. I had previously tried to save a few bucks and dye my hair myself to try to cover grey. It turned out awful! Really drab all one color with an ugly brassy tone. Well Kristi fixed it with the exact colors to make it beautiful. I just let her choose the colors, since she’s the expert, and she nailed it! My blowout, I can’t say enough about it. This is going to save my life this summer. Kristi did such a perfectionist job, and she’s so friendly, helpful and honest, I would recommend her to anyone! Go see Kristi at Salon Lucente or Reflections across the street. She’s so dope, they want her at both places! :) Only reason I didn’t give a 5 is b/​c the place is on the small side, but they’re moving to a bigger and better shop soon and I’m sure it’ll be fantastic! Kristi gets a 5+++++, the building gets a 4.5 :)

I came to see Chen after purchasing her groupon for shampoo, cut and color. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and did exactly that. I love my haircut! She is a lot cheaper than the froo-​froo place I used to go, but her work is just as awesome. I could tell she does awesome work because she had many loyal customers call to get their hair done while she was doing mine. You know she must be good if she is in high demand!
As for the salon itself, it’s okay. Clean and small. Easy to find. Honestly, I’ve had my hair done at fancier places and it turned out like crap! (Spectrum, anyone?)
I’ll definitely be coming back!

Chen is amazing! I went in having a very vague idea of how I wanted my hair to look and she helped me figure out exactly what I wanted, and it came out beautiful.
You know how some haircuts can be super awkward? You’re just sitting there having no idea what to talk about, just waiting for it to be over… Not with Chen! She’s super fun and seems honestly interested in getting to know you and and make sure she’s giving you a fair price.

I’ve been to this salon twice now. Chen does a great job with my haircut. She is very skilled and the price is very good. She has gone out of her way to squeeze me in. If I need a quick haircut on short notice… she’s my gal.

Alane is fantastic! She takes the time to find out what you want and then she delivers. I had a shampoo, color and style. I love the outcome and will definitely be a loyal customer.

Morgan is amazing! She does a really great job, especially with side bangs. I love that I can set an appointment with her and not have to worry about walking in and waiting. My hair feels great afterword. Really great price too! All of my friends come to her. This salon rents out chairs so each stylist charges their own rate. Definitely stick with Morgan!

I used to love coming to this place. It’s right by my place and I could just walk in for a blowout. I used to always get what I asked for, but lately the beachy waves that I like to get have turned into ringlets and «thank you for the country music award» teased hair. But the real icing on the cake was when I went there last and made an appointment for Sunday and the hairdresser didn’t even show up or call to cancel. Sunday was my only day off and I was super excited to finally do something for myself. So I sat there like an idiot for 20 mins and then just left. Never heard from him again.

Don’t waste your money here. Made appointment for haircut. Stylist called back to confirm. Wasn’t told they don’t accept credit until AFTER my hair was done. Stylist was too chatty when I just wanted to get my hair trimmed. Also, she thinks 2 inches = 6 and chopped off my long hair, then gave me a 1994 ‘Rachel’. Extremely disappointed.

Great customer service!!! Walked in without and appointment and the was very helpful in getting me in right away for a trim and blowout with one of the stylists! Definitely going back!!!

I was browsing through groupon and I came across a really great deal for partial highlights or full color for $ 39.99. So, I purchased the deal and scheduled my appt. with Chen.(Who stated that she has 25 years of experience as a stylist). I asked for peek-​a-​boo highlights and to cover up my roots since it has been a year since I have had my hair done. And I made sure that she knew that I will pay for the extra costs that the groupon did not cover. So we both agreed on partial highlights and full color at 40 bucks extra. That was still a pretty sweet deal. My hair was done and styled and cut nicely. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed my highlights was not exactly one color and the highlights had black splotches on it as if those areas were missed completely. I went in to show Chen all the mistakes that I had found, not to mention. She didn’t apply the full color that I had paid for and did not cover up my roots to my old highlights. She says to me, $ 40 does not cover it all, the color is very expensive. But I made sure that she knew that I was willing to pay for all the other extras that wasn’t covered by the groupon. She only agreed to fix my hair if I paid for the color — - which I thought I paid for during the initial visit. So, another stylist agreed to fix my hair free of charge, all I had to do was schedule and appt with her. I missed that first appt by an hour thinking that it was at 10 and not at 9— I take full responsibilty for that missed appt because she was booked the rest of the day. Then, I went ahead and rescheduled for an appt at 10am. I show up that day and she refused to help me because she says my appt was at 9. I made sure I put that appt down at 10 and even took the time to input it onto my phone. All in all. I ended up walking around looking like a leopard for 3 weeks so I ended going somewhere else to have my hair fixed. This place has really bad customer service and the «bouncer» that sits at the front desk is very intimidating. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone!

It’s no secret that being raised with three brothers and a super-​hero for a father greatly impacts your ability to apply make-​up and dress in color-​coordination. But I’ve had this hair for a while now and I think I’ve got a good handle on what can and can’t be done with it. Shaylene changed all that… and the laws of physics, as far as I’m concerned.
So I’m standing in front of my bathroom mirror and I say: I think I’ll do that one thing Shay did to my hair that one time.
No matter how high-​end the product, or how expensive my curler is, I will _​never_​be able to do with my hair what Shaylene Renee does. And that goes double for make-​up. I know it’s not just me, though. I’ve been through a few fashion shows now and I have to admit, I compare all stylists and make-​up artists to her and they fall ridiculously short.
She has done my hair and make-​up for a few photo shoots and events and every time, she manages to dazzle and amaze me with her incomparable skill. Her phone number is now in my cell. I refer her to everyone. I am a bigger fan than ever imaginable and I will travel to the ends of the earth for her.
