Editorial Review for Luxe Lab – by Cadien Clark
In Short
Jason Lara and David Abrams have been in the beauty business for a combined 30 years, and their haircare emporium's motto "Science.Art.Hair" may account for the success of both the salon itself and in-house products like Blonde Aid Masque--a restorative treatment for over-processed fair-haireds. The large, modern space--think black leather furniture and white walls--evokes a clean, contemporary feeling amid so much of that Santa Monica strip's more matronly offerings. High-end lines include Kerastase, Bumble and Bumble and Shu Uemura.

When i visited luxe lab for the first time I was forgotten about while the stylist i was seeing sat and talked to a "more important" client. When i was finally seated, His assistant scrambled to get things ready as he yelled at her. I found the whole experience horrible. It was the fastest i have ever been in an out of a salon with no care or concern. My highlights are so bad that i had to pay more to get them fixed at another salon.. don't go here. Not to mention it's way over priced and i was almost forced by the stylist to buy product.
Pros: it was clean
Cons: horrible service all around

Words alone cannot describe how happy I am that I walked into LuxeLab 3 years ago. I had "individual" hair extensions and a horrible blonde color (going yellow of course). I asked if anyone in the salon dealt with hair extensions and was directed to Malin...an artist! She trimmed the extensions so they didn't look like a broom, colored my hair and it looked awesome. Hold on, it gets better! About 6 months later Malin studied a new extension technique in Denmark (which is now known as Nordic Hair). At this point I trusted her with my hair (I've never trusted anyone with my hair). I was Malin's first client in the U.S. to have Nordic Hair. It really is amazing. I feel purrrrrrrty! In addition to Malin and her great eye for color, Nordic Hair and beauty, the time at the salon is worth it just to observe her and Moonie interract. Moonie also has "played around" with my hair and made me gorgeous. It is like they feed off of eachother (but in a good way). They give eachother great advice and giggle / fight like brother and sister. I love them. My sister also goes to Malin for hair cuts and all over color. Due to being an actor I am in NY for a while. I fly back to see Malin, because even with all of the pimpy salons here, there is no way in hell I am letting anyone break my streak of GOOD HAIR LUCK that I have with Malin. Addictive!
Pros: Treated like a Princess, Cleanliness, Super Friendly Staff, Great Hours...even Mondays!
