I'm writing this review because I recently moved to California and am missing J's styling terribly. First off, J's hair-cutting/styling skills are FLAWLESS. I left feeling gorgeous and not like I had just gotten a mom haircut from 1970 (which has happened more than I'm proud of at other salons). J's skills were especially highlighted when he cut my husband's hair a few times. My husband always left extremely satisfied and with an extra boost of confidence. Just yesterday we were talking about how Lucent Studios is one of the only reasons we miss Arizona. I would absolutely recommend J no matter what look you are going for. Plus, he's hilarious...but not in the typical bratty-hair-stylist-way.
