HL Med Spa — Attraction in Newark

FIRST OFF ASK FOR GRAZIE !!! 20/10 experience!! I cannot say anything but good things about the salon from walking in to walking out (from the bathroom to the massage chairs while you get your hair washed). This is a beautifully well run business. The owner is not cheap with its products or salon perks. I can tell. A little background. I am Asian, I don’t speak Portuguese/Spanish, but I never felt in any way that when the employees were speaking in Spanish were they ever talking negative about their clients. As for the hair, I have Dark black Asian hair and I wanted to go ash brown! In the past I have went to other salons (high ends, in a persons home, in other countries) but never have I ever received a hair color that’s been right on the money.

The stylist: from the moment I walked in she opened me with open arms, as you know again I don’t speak Spanish but never once did she ever make me uncomfortable. When she even talked to one of her colleagues in the salon in Portuguese she even apologized which was not necessary. I was always asked if I needed anything. Drinks, food, water and etc. Color Choice : She did a test strand on my hair of course before proceeding to make sure what she was dealing with as in because I wanted to go from previously colored dark black hair to light ash brown. We then decided on a color based on the picture I had even showed her. The process: She took her time. I mean took her time and it shows . From every piece of hair. She blended it, toned it, and then gave my hair a treatment. My hair color was beautiful even before the blending and the toning it. If you want precision go ask for GRAZIE. She is a perfectionist. Beyond words. I usually leave salon with an orange tone or brassy because again my hairs really dark and I’m usually told it’s going to be more than 1 session, but with her she did on FIRST SESSION. My hair feels healthier than it did when I walked in. I love long hair and she was respectful to cut ONLY 1 inch which I loved. She was so patient with me. It was like GRAZIE was in her zone like a painter working on her masterpiece. I highly highly recommend her.

The front desk receptionist (I didn’t get a chance to catch her name) was also very nice from the beginning.

I’m very observant as I was there for a color process treatment so I was there for some time. I saw everyone’s encounter. As new clients/ prospective clients walked in , customers looked more comfortable going to Grazie, she’s very welcoming. I was recommended to her from two separate clients.

While speaking with Grazie, I asked her how long has she been doing this because from every detail she was going over. It was as if she knew all my concerns regarding how to blend the hair. She’s worked at a high end salon on 5th Ave in NY before moving to NJ and was assistant stylist to the hair stylist of who does Beyoncé’s hair which just shows you she was always on her feet and her precision is on the dot. Pictures below! If the owner or manager sees this please translate it to Portuguese because the salon is a 10/10 for me and...

I met Lazaro Lambertucci recently and had my hair highlighted to a beautiful sapphire blue and have been getting compliments daily as result of his work, he is an amazing and caring professional with an outstanding knowledge on his field! He is truly one of a kind when it comes to keeping it real to what can and should be done to your hair. If you’ve ever had your hair treated poorly at a hair salon, this is most definitely the place to go so he can help you treat your hair the proper way bringing health back to it ! I am beyond happy and pleased with how I was treated by him and the staff! I cannot speak highly enough of this salon! House of Leilans is the definition of perfection when it comes to atmosphere, what a beautiful place ! I couldn't be happier with my hair! Not only did Lazaro not rushed as I have found to be the norm in most salons, but he took the time to make sure I was completely satisfied with the cut, color and style before I left. He showed that he truly cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. Thank you, Lazaro and will be...

I expected a lot from this place because it looks so fancy, but looks are deceiving. I did not feel like I was treated in a professional way despite the fancy water and all. I was left unattended by the hairdresser for about an hour while he was attending "another client" which to me it just looked like he was socializing with a friend. If there is one thing I hate the most is when they try to squeeze in another client while they are taking care of someone already. No customer service. The color was not done correctly probably because the hairdresser was going backa and forth between two clients. I went back to get it fixed because for the price I payed I figured I should get a good outcome. It didn't happen and I never...
