Lacquer Studios

"I am writing this post in response to the negative comment I read regarding Lulu's hair cutting techniques... First off, I was shocked to read the post regarding the woman with her curly haircut catastrophe. My experience with Lulu couldn't be more opposite, she saved me from my COVID hair debacle. I literally called Kim ( the owner ) in a panic to see if she could fit me in, she was full but gave me the option to see her assistant. I replied, "no thank you, I need someone with far more experience." Kim reiterated that Lulu was new to Lacquer, not to hair. Desperate as I was I went in and OMG- she worked that sh*t out! Not only did she fix my hair it grew out beautifully. My second appointment I had highlights and a cut, once again AMAZING, to the point where stylists have stopped me on the street to ask who my stylist is. I would also like to mention that I dated a stylist who was " Vidal " trained and anyone who knows anything about the business also knows how highly regarded these stylists are. Point being, I am not new to having amazing haircuts. Most importantly, she will cut off what needs to be cut so you look your best; trust the process, she's AMAZING!"

"IF YOU HAVE CURLY HAIR DO NOT GO HERE!!!! I repeat IF YOU HAVE CURLY HAIR DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! After seeing all the good reviews and pictures on the website I thought this would be a good place to get my hair cut - WRONG! I urge everyone to remember pictures posted are always the best work they’ve done - not the consistent work. I saw LULU and she chopped my hair off and tried to deny it as if I don’t know the consistency and condition nor the length of my hair. After seeing the reveal I told her outright that she cut a lot of my hair off, I didn’t like it and it looked choppy (I can see every layer she cut and none of them were blended). I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt by giving it some time for me to get use to but when my uncle said I looked like a fuzzy ball of cotton and my grandmother said that who ever did my hair really did me a disservice I knew it wasn’t just me. My bestfriend said I looked like ice cube with the jerry curl, and my coworker said I reminded her of the head coach from sunset park. Not only did this impact my confidence but it also impacted my work. With my profession my hair must be up and out of my face (which I told her during the appointment and her response was “oh you can’t wear it half up and half down” - which means she knew she cut too much) and also saying at the end of the appointment “your hair grows super fast anyways so it won’t be a problem” (it took me 5 years to grow my hair, and I’m not a chia pet, you can’t just water my head and expect it to grow overnight). After restyling and trying to figure out how to not look like a child or a curly wig from the Halloween store I thought it’d be best to let her know and see what could be done other than cutting my hair shorter. I sent an email and her reply was that my hair hadn’t been cut in years (which my last hair cut was in November of 2020), it was uneven (my hair was cut in long layers in April 2021 for my birthday) and that she didn’t cut that much off (she cut off 12 inches from the longest layer and the shortest layer is about 16inches from starting length), and the specific cut creates volume (which I have finer hair so I can achieve volume easily and I don’t see why so much needed to be cut in order to get some volume either) and if I wanted her to blend the layers so they weren’t as harsh I would need to come in with my hair straightened prior so she can even the cut (which as a curly expert doing a curly cut I would assume she would know how to achieve this without the hair being straightened or if she needed the hair to be straight to achieve the best cut she would’ve asked me to do that before the first cut so this wouldn’t be a problem now). I know this is a review but a picture is worth a thousand words - I’ll let you decide with the pictures."

"Lulu is a curly hair GENIUS! My big curly hair is my signature that everyone knows me by, and from the first time Lulu cut my hair I knew I can't let anyone else touch my curls. I've gone to her 3 times now and every time my hair comes out looking so amazing that I always leave with a 200% ego boost. So warm, wonderful, professional, and truly skilled with scissors! I've recommended her to my friends (after they all demand to know who cuts my hair) and each one whose gone to Lulu raaaaves about her afterwards."

"I wouldn’t trust my lovely locks to anyone else!! Seriously, they know their stuff in there!!"

"Kim is awesome and handles my crazy thick mermaid hair like a champ! Love her studio as well. Def recommended!"
