I love Lux, that's all I really have to say. Jenna did my make for my wedding a couple weekends ago and it was fantastic. The whole process from the consultation to the day of was super easy. Jenna was a doll to work with and I got tons of compliments on my makeup. I also went to Lux for all of my tanning needs too. Jenny was such a great help for this. I have a very fair skin tone and I just wanted a nice golden sun kissed look for my wedding and she did a great job. Everyone at Lux is so friendly and I think it's strange that there are a couple people who seem to think differently.... I love you LUX!!!

I have followed Tallie's career from when she got her first salon job alllllll the way to her position now at Lux.
Tallie and I have taken many adventures when it has come to my hair and she always gives it to me straight if what I want to do is even possible. But at the same time I can tell her the general look I want and I give her freedom with the style and she gives me her input on if it would look good with my face or if my weird hair can handle it.
The salon is bright and laid out nicely where you're not sitting close to the station next to you. It is tastefully decorated with something to look at but not so busy that it's distracting. The shampoo bowls are awsome here and I don't ever get neck pain while getting shampooed.
The pedicure stations look wonderful and I look forward to trying them out soon!

I recently had my hair done by Adrian for a wedding..My husband and I weren't sure exactly what we were looking for..but we threw out some ideas..and you should have seen my hair!! I couldn't stop looking at it!! I've never had my hair styled so well...all in under an hour. She was very comfortable to deal with and I can't wait to go back again. The only reason I am sharing this information with everyone is that I can't possibly go there everyday...so I'll share my find with you!!!!!

I don't have enough stars to give them. Jenna and Tallie did my wedding this past weekend and I wouldn't have it any other way. My hair was PERFECT!!! My makeup was FLAWLESS and it stayed on ALL NIGHT LONG! My special day would not have been as great as it did if it wasn't for these 2. Their assistant Jenny who schedules and coordinates for them is also great to work with. She's extremely responsive and asks all the questions she needs to ask to make sure everything works out perfect. I would NEVER let anyone else touch my face again. NEVER!!!

I haven't trusted many to touch my hair in a looong time....I always say what I want & get something close to it, but never "it!"..Adrian is an amazing hairstylist that is a MUST SEE. She knows what she's doing, and she's very personable to boot. She initially did my wedding hair & bridesmaids... which turned out so lovely without taking alot of time & fuss! Then I had her do some highlights & a cut & I've been getting compliments on it eversince! I have to keep handing out her cards, because everyone keeps asking! :)
If you care about your hair, and want it done right.......it's simple....go check ou tthe Lux!! You won't be dissapointed and you'll leave feeling like a re-vamped version of yourself!

I thought I looked pretty good after you two performed your magic on me and I got dressed the day of Caitlin’s wedding. I did not realize just how good I looked. Caitlin half-jokingly complaind the other day that I have gotten more compliments than she did! Honestly, girls, when the comments have been:
- “I heard you were HOT at the wedding”
- “You looked amazing”
- “I didn’t know you could look this good” (I think that was a compliment)
- “I thought that was your younger sister walking in”
Here are my two favorites!
- “You looked like a Greek Goddess. I thought you should have been carried in on a litter and you should have been eating grapes” :)
- My husband asked me if I thought you two would be willing to move to Washington State with us when we move in June! :)
Thank you for making me so beautiful!

Adrian Hernandez is amazing! I've seen her for a couple years and this girl can get down with everything! Her cuts and color are on point but when it comes to special updo's MOMMA GOT SKILLZ!!!! I’ve seen the work she's done for weddings and for short film. Adrian is an undercover hairstylin' bad ass. You wouldn’t know it bc she is so sweet and doesn’t throw around ego or attitude but this girl owns some serious bragging rights when it comes to amazing hair. Do yourself a favor and stop reading this and go book with ADRIAN HERNANDEZ: HAIR GODDESS OF LOS GATOS!!!!!

"My" hairstylist recently transferred to LUX. I love Blair, she's fantastic at what she does, and she's got a friendly personality so I don't feel awkward when I'm in there for three hours getting my hair done. LUX is kinda Zen-esque, which is nice. Much quieter than 5 Color Cowboy.

Got my toes done too and I'm 100% satisfied. We had a fun time chatting too :) Go see Laurie if you want your nails and toes to look fab. Oh, and the shop is gorgeous too :) The front desk people were so nice and actually asked me if I wanted a coffee or tea while they gave me tour of the salon!

I just wanted to send a quick email to thank you for an amazing party! Jena, Tina, Tallie and Mark are fabulous! Thank you for my gorgeous flowers which also got to play a dual role of props for some of the photos. Thank you for balloons, feather boa, name tags on our robes, bucket with ice, plates, napkins! It was over and beyond what I expected and all of you made it an incredible day.
Jena, thank you for not only doing an amazing job on my makeup but for touching us up before the photo shoot. One day if I have time, I’d love to enroll in some of your makeup classes. I wouldn’t even know how to use 1/20th of the brushes you had in your arsenal. Do you think you could let me know what color lipstick, liner and gloss you used?
Tallie, thank you for using your magic wand and miraculously giving me movie star hair. You are extremely talented and I loved everyone’s hair! You’re a wealth of knowledge on the playboy mansion. I am definitely buying the book “Bunny Tales”!
Tina, we didn’t get to talk but you did a wonderful job on all the girls! I especially liked Jeannie’s makeup, you really did a great job!
Mark, was extraordinary! You made the shoot fun and all the camera shy girls even came out of their shells. You did a great job directing too, Tyra Banks would have been proud! Thank you so much for staying the extra time. I can’t wait to see the photos!
I was so exhausted by the time I got home and you guys were the ones doing all the hard work! I would love to do this all again when I turn 40, only I may need a lot more photoshoping by then =) We can’t all look as beautiful as Jena in 10 years.
Thank you to Jenny for organizing everything! This was the best birthday party ever and you guys should definitely sell this as a birthday package to customers.
THANKS AGAIN!

Michelle from Lux Image Agency took care of me for my wedding. She is very nice and likable. I met with her for a trial and absolutely loved what she did - I felt beautiful and glamorous, but I could still see me. It wasn't like looking at a completely different person in the mirror.
On my wedding day, Michelle arrived at my house promptly, armed with her makeup kit and tools. She did my makeup and my mom's and sister's. Michelle worked wonderfully with our hairdresser in coordinating the timing of getting us all ready. We were all pleased with the results, even my mom who is very particular about how she is made up. I especially loved my fake eyelashes. They made my eyes pop but nobody guessed the reason why.
Initially, I had some reservations about spending money just to get my makeup done, but now I have no regrets. It was totally worth it. We did not have to reapply our makeup at all. It was so nice not to have to worry about whether my foundation was streaked, or whether my liner was smudged. My makeup looked fresh throughout the afternoon and evening, through hours of pictures, dancing, being outside in the sun, etc. It lasted until I washed it off at the end of the night, about twelve hours later.
I definitely recommend Lux and you should ask for Michelle!

Please tell everyone there how much I appreciated the attention I received at the Client Appreication day. While I was on a fast schedule and had to rush out to my pole dancing class (wow fun!!) before getting to enjoy all the planned activities I still left feeling pampered and put together. I look forward to coming for a regular appointment and purchasing some hair products. Until then Thank You All very much.

Jena-
The photos are amazing and Caroline is so very happy!!! Profuse thanks to your husband at mark perry photography as well!!!
Thank you for everything you've done for her.
We'll send you photos of what she does for recital night and some of her business cards when she gets them done.
It would be great to stay in touch- Caroline is really serious about make up artistry. If you ever need a willing (and free!) extra pair of hands at an event you're doing, she'd absolutely love to volunteer! So please think of her if there's ever the right opportunity. Meanwhile, she won't let me go out of the house to an event without making me up, which I love and I now always look marvelous. She just got some of the MAC Hello Kitty line they just launched, so she's quite happy.
Anyway, wanted to connect with you and say thank you for absolutely everything- your patience, enthusiasm, great training, the photo shoot, and your kind spirit!

Dear Jena & Mark
Thank you for inviting me to the customer appreciation event yesterday. I came there expecting just to get a polish change... but was surprised to have a 2 hour pampering session! It was great fun. Tallie did a beautiful job on my hair - did you know my hair has never been blow dried before!? With naturally curly hair, I always straighten with large rollers - I didn't know it was possible. I also got to try and purchase some new hair care items.
It was great to see you both (& Jena I miss you!) and I wish you much success for the coming year.
Very fondly,
Faith

I went to Lux Image Agency a few weeks ago in downtown Los Gatos. It was a very nice contemporary salon that had a beautiful view of the Los Gatos hills. I got my hair done there by Adrian Hernandez and she did an amazing job! She knew exactly what I wanted and was able to achieve the perfect shade of mocha brown I was looking for. My hair usually fades a little bit since it had 5 years of bleach blonde underneath it but it hasn't faded at all since I've gotten it done and it was almost 2 and half weeks ago! Since my hair was bleached before it wasn't in the best condition she took her time with me and actually made my hair looking healthier than when I came in! I have been getting so many complements on how shiny my hair is and how vibrant the color looks on me. She was very attentive, sweet and helped me achieve the perfect look for me. I would definitely recommend Adrian if you are looking for a new hairstylist in the San Jose area!

Hi Jena,
You amazing woman!
I want to meet with you again to learn about applying false lashes and how to get my foundation to look like you did. I have pictures to share as well. These are not pro photos or pro lighting... but you can see how my dress looked!- You did such a fantastic job on my makeup. I noticed you have a lash class may 24; would that be good, or should I meet you one on one?
When my dance instructor saw me, he almost walked off the landing of the stairway, because he was staring at me! and he said I was "stunning!"- My husband flipped out too. I've never had such a reaction. I HAVE to learn how to take it up a notch.
Call me and we can talk about the next step. I need to get a handful of your cards as well.
hugs!- faith

"Fresh and natural" is Jena's specialty. Jena and her girls did my wedding makeup and I absolutely loved it. The air brush foundation makes a HUGE difference... it feels light, looks natural, and provides full coverage! What more could you want? My make-up remained intact through hours of crazy dancing/drinking/sweating and I still looked made-up in the pictures! Because Jena's techniques were so great, I returned for a one on one make-up lesson... it was by far the best instruction I've ever had. I even enjoy putting on make-up now!

Hi Jena, I have attached some of the make up pictures from my wedding in August. Michelle did a wonderful job on my bridesmaids, mother and myself. My make up was flawless the entire day. I will be recommending your salon to anyone & everyone! Angela Mackenzie at Nimbus referred me to you and I'm very happy with the results. :-) Thank you so much! Janae

I decided to try Lux for my wedding based on a recommendation from my hair stylist. This was the first time I had my makeup professionally done, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Michelle was so nice and made it a really fun experience. My mom also had her makeup done and was totally thrilled. I don't normally wear makeup and when I do it's very little, so I had a ton of compliments from surprised family members and friends. I would definitely recommend them.

LUX IMAGE AGENCY: bridal make up: (A+) Jena Perry does air brush and conventional. Although I opted for conventional makeup, my MOH's both did airbrush. She did an amazing job, and I'd definitely use her all over again! I hired two MAC artists for the rest of my maids, and I have to say, Jena's work was significantly better. =o) She owns her own studio in Los Gatos and she does charge a travel fee, which was well worth it in my opinion! My best friend was in another wedding recently, and she convinced the bride to hire Jena Perry to do both hers and that bride's makeup because she liked her makeup at my wedding so much! LOL

Great Group of People to make you Goregous!
After a bad make up trial somewhere else, I booked with Jena for hair & makeup for my wedding in Los Gatos. Jena was nothing if not fun, sweet, professional and genuinely interested in what I needed and how to make me look great! I ended up with 2 of her stylists, Tallie for my hair & Kelly for my make up. Tallie is just the coolest, I even made an appointment for her to do my cut & colour a week before the wedding. On the day of, she did my hair once, and it wasn't quite right, so she took it all down and did it again and it was perfect! Kelly was a last minute replacement for someone else. We did a trial about 2 weeks before my day and I could not believe how perfect my make up looked! Flawless, shimmery and exactly right for me & my dress, just enough and not too much. And it was even better the day of, so totally perfect. I think I may become addicted to individual false eyelashes. Amazing.

Jena, Michelle and Letty-
Thank you so much for your amazing work at my wedding two weekends ago. I have never seen my bridesmaids look so beautiful and I didn't look so bad myself (haha). I really appreciated your skill and talent and especially your professionalism during the whole process. Not once did I worry about how I would look (hard to imagine) after the trial, and especially after seeing my bridesmaids transformed while I waited my turn, I knew the results would be extraordinary.
Michelle-
My makeup stayed on all night and the colors and texture looked great both out in the sun for the ceremony and indoors at night for the reception. (Thanks for getting me to stick with my original choice of lashes!) I appreciate you having gone through that super-long trial to get all of the colors right because on the day you hit it perfectly! And great job with my mom, who was very happy with your work.
Letty-
I loved the updo you created and it turned out looking fantastic for both the wedding gown and the Thai traditional wedding dress. With the Thai dress, especially, the look was very elegant and almost regal, which is exactly what you need with that type of dress. I wish I could recreate it myself for everyday life, but I don't think I'm that talented!
Jena-
You run a great business and I appreciate your professionalism from the start and during the whole process. You were always prompt, friendly and courteous and I never felt taken for a ride as you do with all wedding vendors. Your stylists' work is absolutely amazing and I would recommend them and your agency to anyone. The cost of Lux's services are worth it, at least with Michelle and Letty, who were on-time (early, actually!), everyone felt comfortable with, able to work with a variety of ethnicities and skin/hair-types, fast but not sloppy, easygoing, and of course very talented.
Thanks again to all of you - I hope that I've been able to express my satisfaction with not only your services, but working with you. I have some pictures from friends that I'll forward on to you and will send copies of any good professional photos later in the summer.
Best,
Christine

Hello Jena,
Let me just say "thank you" to my sister-in-law (Jeannie Colombo) for finding you and choosing you to do her makeup for her wedding (June 03'). You did such an incredible job on her make-up as well as all of the bridesmaids! I felt an instant connection with you on the day we met when we did a test run on our make-up with you at Nordstrom's and I already knew then that I was going to use you as my make-up artist for future events.
The first event was my 20-year high school reunion and I must say you took years off of my face and the proof was the many compliments I received that night. If I had your business cards with me that night I would of definitely handed them out! The most recent event was a modeling shoot I did for a friend that makes her own cashmere sweater line (www.pointella.com) and the pictures turned out incredible! Your work really speaks for itself.
Jena, I have to say I am always pleased with your work and I plan to use you for future events that are to come and will not hesitate to refer you to all of my family and friends. I truly enjoy your company, you are beautiful inside and as well as out and have an incredible sense of humor and are such a joy to talk with!! I feel that you are not just my make-up artist but someone I can now call a friend.
