M LUX Salon

This salon is amazing. Beautiful and high end. Deska, the colorist was amazing!

I am not very happy with the service I received yesterday afternoon. I Called Wednesday to schedule an appointment for Sunday at 5 because I had dinner reservations for my birthday. A. I wasn’t put on the schedule, B. the stylist was about to leave so if I didn’t show up as early as I did I wouldn’t even have gotten my hair done and at this point I should have just did it myself. The stylist I had, had no personality what so ever because she was so quick to want to go home that she rushed to do my hair and barely said anything. I felt so unwelcome and like an inconvenience and it made me very uncomfortable. She didn’t or couldn’t do the style i asked for and so i explained why i wanted the up-​do and she asked what was the occasion and I told her my birthday. The response was «Oh its not like a wedding or anything. so how about something soft and not to sleek…» That to me made it sound like because it was just dinner and nothing ‘important” that I wasn’t worth the trip. And she didn’t even say HI, how are you or happy birthday just so out of it and she didn’t want to be there either.
On top of it all… i paid $ 65.00!!! WAY Overpriced for a simple up do for thin shoulder length hair and I had to fix it anyway. This was my first time coming and I wont be going back. I would love it get a refund because this is not worth the money I paid and i should have argued it but was to upset and depressed. Thanks for a great start to my birthday evening.

I was in Bergen county, where I grew up, to visit family. Before my trip I researched many salons in the area to find one that could give me that true spa experience without having to go into NYC. I scheduled my hair color with Paula because I found a picture on Unilocal showing a color that she had done on a gal that was exactly what I wanted. When I called to make the appointment the gal I spoke to was extremely helpful & suggested Mikel for my haircut. Two days after I arrived in the area I went for my appointment & I am in love with this salon. Paula did an AMAZING job with my color, it was the exact ashy blonde that I wanted. My haircut by Mikel was out of this world. He simply added layers, but in such a skilled way that my hair just lays perfectly no matter how I style it. I went back a week later for a facial with Amy & my skin never looked better, plus she introduced me to Yonka skincare products which smell wonderful & do wonderful things for the skin. I cannot wait to go back to mlux, unfortunately that won’t be for another year. If you have the opportunity go to this salon, it is beyond fantastic.

I was at the mall last week and stopped in to see if someone could take me for a blowout. They set me up right away with Angelina, and wow, what an amazing job she did. My hair is thick, curly and coarse and not everyone can get my hair straight and smooth but she did it with ease. I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks. Seriously one of the best blowouts I’ve ever had. Will definitely use her again. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the salon could use a good cleaning.

I took my wife to this place on Saturday 2÷06÷16 for gel manicure. The nail polish stated becoming puffy (like of got air under it) very next day and eventually started to get peeled off. See pictures. I am not sure if this is due to the quality of nail paint used or the quality of work done.
Certainly a waste of time and money. Even if M. Lux offers to fix it again we have to make time from our busy schedule. Either way, we have to go somewhere to spend our precious time to get this mess removed and get new one applied.
I wish they had an email address on website so I could email without being have to post pics/​review publicly.

Beautiful salon! I always stop by when I’m back home in Northern NJ. Highly recommend Mary, especially for blowouts! I always feel like people half-​ass my blowouts after a haircut, because it’s so long and heavy, but she’s super diligent and patient. I’ve never had a bad experience. My husband is also a huge fan of Hanie’s cuts! Overall, I highly recommend.

I’ve been contemplating if I wanted an ombré or not but was quite nervous because I have never colored my hair before. I went to this salon and Elie did my hair he did a Great job! I was so happy I did it he made it look so natural which is exactly what I wanted. Such a nice down to earth guy. Would highly recommend him for color cut and blow dry.

I initially went in for a blowout with Elie for the first time. I was nervous, because I never had a guy do my hair. As he was washing my hair, I was constantly complaining that my hair is dry, he recommended that I trim my hair. Obviously, I was scared because I didn’t want a cut. He assured me that he would dust my hair and that’s exactly what he did!
Absolutely happy! A must check out!

I am a regular customer at moxie in Montclair. I came here for a pedicure that I bought on groupon. What a horrible experience, I did not get the hour long spa pedicure that I paid for but a 20 minute toenail painting session. The lady was rude and I was so uncomfortable with how she acted that I didn’t even stay and wait for my toes to dry. Their Montclair location is always top notch friendly service, maybe because they think because they work in the riverside square mall they can treat customers like garbage. Take your business and money elsewhere!

I have been going to Hanie for years, and will never think of switching!!! He’s amazing and I love his staff! I bring my girlfriend there as well and she loves all the hairdressers so much, that she can’t ever decide who she really wants. Even though I only get a mans haircut, I did also notice, after my wife started doing her nails there too, the quality is really amazing. By the way, they have Oribe!!! Who can resist that product line?! Can’t wait for my next cut!

I decided to update my review as Alan was gracious enough to reach out to my mother. I want to make note that my review had nothing to do with his blowout performance. He also has a great personality to boot. If a client continues to schedule an appointment with a particular person, there is a reason. I will change my rating to 3 stars for trying to make it right!

I just had an AMAZING experience with Vee at M. Lux. This is my 3^rd time traveling from NYC just to have my Shellac Mani and Pedi done by her. She’s attentive and does a great job.

Loved my gel manicure and pedicure I got from groupon. Vivian was super nice, attentive and honest. Located on the second floor of riverside square mall, the place was clean and fancy. Would definitely go back.

I LOVE the nail technician Vianey! She is so pleasant and you feel very relaxed and never rushed. I bought a groupon to try this place out and will definitely continue to come back. The atmosphere is awesome, very clean and relaxing place. They offer you coffee and mimosas (at least on Saturday morning when I was there ;))

Went back to M. Lux for my color with Paula. I decided to go full blonde. My color came out amazing as always. I also wanted to add a little volume my hair was very flat with no texture. Paula put me in for a hair cut with Bruna. I’m usually terrified of scissors so I stay away from them but Bruna game me the most amazing cut I’ve ever had without touching my length. I really have found the best colorist and stylist in the game.

My wife and I come here for all our hair needs. Hannie my barber is the best in north jersey, hands down. My wife comes and gets her haircut by Michael who always does a fantastic job. This place has been constantly great and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Parking is also so easy which is a plus. Very high tech with email reminders and easy reservation booking. Would highly recommend to all.

I went in for eyelash extensions about 3 weeks ago. I had a Groupon, but it still came to about $ 100. The girl who did them was very nice, took about an hour and a half to put them on, and honestly they did look great when I left.
PROBLEM– Within 2 weeks they were COMPLETELY gone!
I’ve had my lashes done a few times before and this was NEVER the case. The majority of them stay on for over 4 weeks and usually longer as they are supposed to fall out WITH your real eyelashes. At first I thought maybe it was bad glue or something… the girl told me not to shower for 8 hours and I listened, waited about 20 hours… but then I realized she had attached most of them TO MY LID and NOT MY EYELASHES! UNREAL. I wish sooo bad that I had purchased the two week fill-​in JUST so they’d have to do them ALL over again.
My advice– don’t go to M Lux for lashes… just because a place offers a service DOES NOT MEAN they know how to perform it correctly.

Booking an appointment and speaking to the receptionist Jean Marie on the phone would get 5 stars. After that, it was all down hill once I went through with my appointment.
I really had high hopes after reading all these 5 star reviews, but overall this experience was below average. (Appt. was about a week prior to this review posting)
The salon was nearly empty except for myself and one other guy getting a hair cut, and even though the front desk receptionist (not Jean Marie) was friendly at giving me immediate attention and asking if I wanted any coffee, she did not follow through on said coffee. I could have made the coffee myself, since the machine, cups, etc. were in the waiting room.
On to the actual hair appointment. The stylist (I’m not going to blast names here, so if you really want to know you can message me) looked preoccupied the whole time. She answered a few texts during my appointment in an unprofessional way. I don’t usually mind if a stylist has to step away for moment, but she was literally holding my hair and scissors and answering texts. NOT GOOD.
Upon drying, she burned my scalp a few times and I let it be known it hurt after the first time, but it happened again… AND AGAIN.
Close to the end of the appointment, I was told to stand so she could cut a face frame. This is unusual to me. In all my life I was never told to stand for a hair cut, but to each their own style. Personally, standing during a cut isn’t for me.
And lastly, I would expect some kind of product to be put in my hair, either a heat-​protectant before drying, or a finishing product of some sort to style, but nothing was used. I still had hair covering the front of my face after she pulled off the robe, and had to ask if she was done just to be sure she wasn’t going to attempt to put some kind of product in my hair. Nope. She wasn’t. I couldn’t get out of that chair faster.
I did give the front desk feedback on my aforementioned experience above. Found out they recently changed their name from a Moxie affiliated salon to a separate ownership. That being said, they honored the groupon deal that was affiliated to Moxie since their name change is still in a transitional phase, so that was nice.
I would give this review only 1 star but Jean Marie was really nice, and the cut itself wasn’t bad — thankfully I only asked for a trim so how hard could that be?
Overall though I gotta say, sorry M Lux… I won’t be returning any time soon (if at all).

I am-​as always-​absolutely thrilled with the fabulous M Lux Salon!
My keratin specialist, Lele, did am AMAZE JOB with my keratin! She applied it last week and today as I write she is blowing out my luxurious locks to a shiny, smooth flowey finish!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this salon! Love my other stylist Jaz and Carmen! Those girls along with Lele are just fabulous and give phenomenal blowouts!
Jaz did a quick bang touch up for me a few weeks back and it looked FABULOUS!
I can’t say enough good things!
P.S– they sell the best products here hands down! Everyone is knowledgable about the products and never are pushy about buying!!!

Awesome place. Great atmosphere and hospitality. Great refreshment area with coffee, water, and tea also with comfy couches reminiscent of a lounge. The barbers and hair dressers are really talented.
I get my haircut there every week and they always do a phenomenal job. Also parking is extremely convenient on the 2^nd level. There are always spots and the salon is right when you walk in.
