Lumiere salon in San Diego, CA

The Only Stylist for My Long, Dark, Thick, Wavy Hair!!!! I've been going to Jennie since 2017, and I can't praise her enough for the incredible work she does with my hair, every single time. As someone with long, dark, thick, wavy hair, I've always found it challenging to find a stylist who can truly manage and understand my hair type. Jennie has been a game changer for me. Her expertise and consistent ability to transform my hair into something I'm always proud to flaunt, has made it impossible for me to even consider another stylist. Jennie's not only nice and has great energy, she's incredibly skilled, patient, and understands exactly what my hair needs, making every visit a pleasant experience. In fact, my entire family goes to her!!! For anyone struggling to find a stylist who can handle unique hair challenges, I can't recommend Jennie highly enough. She's not only been able to fix my hair but also maintains its health and beauty, ensuring it looks its best at all times. Five stars aren't enough to express my satisfaction and gratitude! Thank You, Jennie!

Jennie was FANTASTIC! It is hard to find someone who does good hair and charges fair prices. I walked in for a trim and walk out with a beautiful root touch up, layers that left my hair bouncy and healthy, and a new stylist/friend I intend on going back to. Thank you Jennie!!

Jennie is amazing at her craft! I've been going to her for 10 years, and this review has been long overdue. She understands my vision every time and somehow makes it look even better than the references I bring in to show her. She's also a perfectionist, so she always makes sure you're happy with your cut/color. If you're looking for a new hairstylist or look, definitely give Jennie a try!

I scheduled an appointment with Miriam for a simple layered haircut. I show up a few minutes late and she is still with another client and attends to me after about 10 more minutes, mostly chatting. Once it's my turn I show a picture of the style I want (pictured below), which is a nice layered haircut with curtain bangs a bit below the shoulder, which she said she could do. She washes my hair, cuts it, etc. within a span of 30 minutes, obviously in a hurry, which was weird because I had made an appointment with her. She did not speak to me the entire time and was not friendly like she was with her other client, whereas I was very polite. Another client walks in and after rushing some more, Miriam starts attending to him WHILE styling my hair in the middle of our appointment, and unlike with me she talks to him, is friendly with him, etc. Some other woman who I didn't schedule with and did not even ask what hairstyle I asked for began to cut my hair a little more when Miriam went with her other client... how rude. This resulted in my bangs getting super short which I didn't ask for!!! At first I was satisfied with the end result because of the way they styled it. But they did not offer me a mirror to see the back (which they did to the client before me) and I couldn't even see the back of my hair, which was a BIG mistake. I came home and looked at the back in a mirror and this haircut looked NOTHING like the reference photo I showed Miriam. Not even the bangs. It was poorly and barely layered and too much below the shoulder than I asked, especially since I have straighter hair and they curled it, making it look like it was the right length which was very deceiving. The bangs, which were supposed to be a lot longer "curtain" bangs, are also not the same length. I'm super disappointed and I had high hopes for this salon and the good reviews of Miriam but she was cold, unfriendly, and didn't treat me like her other customers. I will post a picture of how she cut my hair versus what I asked for below. I'm very sad. I am only giving an extra star because this haircut isn't bad, it's just not what I asked for and was not worth $45 plus tip.

Love this hair salon, I have been going here for 2 years, every month, and never had a bad experience. In fact, it's a very pleasant, clean salon with friendly, accommodating staff and top notch stylists. I see Mariam and always leave with fabulous hair.
