Luminous Beauty Lounge

I’ve been seeing Elena for almost three years now, and I truly can’t imagine going to anyone else. Before finding her, I was almost always disappointed with my hair color. I’d bring inspiration photos to other stylists, but it never quite matched what I was envisioning. I first came across her work on Instagram and immediately noticed that her balayage and color style aligned perfectly with the look I was going for. After booking my first appointment, I knew I had finally found the right fit! She really takes the time to listen to what I’m hoping to achieve and is always honest about what’s realistic for that appointment versus what may take a few sessions. I genuinely appreciate that transparency. Every time I leave the salon, I feel so happy and confident with my hair. My balayage gro

I have been going to Elena for a couple years and cannot recommend her enough! The atmosphere in the salon is relaxing and chill, I have never felt like she is rushing me through a service. Since going to Elena my hair has become noticeably healthier. Where she really shines is her skill and knowledge with color! I love the dimension she is able to create and how well it holds up. Reds and coppers have always tended to fade somewhat quickly for me but with Elena the color holds up beautifully until my next visit. By the time I come back in it’s just the roots that are noticeable!

Elena at Luminous is absolutely amazing! I’ve been going to her for over a year. The first time I visited her I had grown out copper highlights and a lot of damage. She created a blended mushroom brown and my hair is healthier than ever. At every single appointment from a full balayage to a simple toner Elena checks-in to make sure she’s accomplishing exactly what you want. Aside from her amazing hair skills, the environment she creates is extremely comfortable. I’d recommend her 10x over.

I’ve been going to Elena for the past 5 years, and I can confidently say that a cut and color from Elena is worth every penny! I drive from Buffalo to Rochester just to see her! Elena is not only a consummate professional—always welcoming, attentive, and reliable—but she’s also an incredibly talented artist. Her eye for color is unmatched, and she somehow manages to make each cut better than the last. She truly listens to what I want and brings it to life, always making sure I leave her chair feeling confident and refreshed. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, Elena is the stylist you want. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair!

Elena is so incredibly talented. She takes the time to understand what I’m looking for and determines what’s best to suit my goals. Every time I see her is my favorite day, and she consistently makes me feel beautiful.
