What Our Former Brides have to say about us:

“If you are looking for a place to have your hair and make up done for your wedding, or any special occasion, I could not recommend L Studio enough. Truly, there is nowhere else to look in the area. Liz, the owner, and her team were absolutely fabulous from the beginning of planning until the day I walked down the aisle. Liz and Kim were there with me on my wedding day and they felt like part of the bridal party, they made us feel so comfortable, never felt rushed by them and they were such a breath of fresh air to have in the room while we were all getting ready. I have never felt prettier in my life than I did when I first looked in the mirror after my hair and makeup were done. These girls truly do care for you, make you feel beautiful inside and out, and are so professional while during the whole process. Absolutely recommend!” Hilary B.

“L Studio (Liz and her team) were all-around incredible to work with! I truly appreciated their attention to detail, talent, art, skill, and creativity. All of these ladies are warm, kind and fun--it was a pleasure to spend the morning with them getting ready with all my bridal party :) The team were more than prepared, and came to slay---and that they did! All of my girls were more than happy with their hair/makeup! The environment they created, and the sense of security and ease that they provide makes them one of the best around! I highly reccommend L Studio for your special day! I trusted them with mine--and they nailed it!”- Alyssa

“There’s so many wonderful things to say about my experience with The Vow team. They are like the best friends you’ve known your whole life and also amazingly talented stylists and artists. Weddings are so stressful and this was one area I never worried about thanks to Liz Kim and the whole team. If you want peace of mind and effortless beauty look no further.” Kristen M.

“Every time I go to L Studio, I leave with a 10/10 experience. My stylist Cassie is amazing and talented. She is the only stylist that I’ve worked with that truly takes care of my hair. She not only explains everything step by step, but she voices any concerns she might have in regards to what I want done, which I appreciate a lot. In the past I’ve gone to stylists who weren’t transparent as to what my hair can or can’t withstand. However with Cassie, she makes sure that with every service the health of my hair is top priority. I definitely recommend L Studio for anyone looking for a 10/10 service.”
— Melanie

My top priority as a Stylist is always the health and integrity of my clients’ hair. I take time in understanding what their hair can and cannot handle, ensuring every service enhances both beauty and health. I love creating an amazing experience in my chair, where every client leaves feeling absolutely confident and beautiful. I love the artistry of doing a little bit of everything...it can be cutting, makeup, extensions, event styling or color, but what's important is bringing out the best version of each person who sits in front of me.


Meet Cassie, a rising star in the world of beauty, who found her calling as a Stylist under the guiding light of Liz.  Middle school marked the beginning of her fascination with hair and makeup, as YouTube tutorials flooded her phone with inspiration.  What began with creating braids during school hours ignited a passion that led her to Cosmetology school, a ‘no brainer’ for Cassie as she embarked on her journey to master every facet of the industry.

Throughout her three years of experience, Cassie has found her true north in the art of cutting and special event styling.  Her prowess isn’t confined to hair; as a Makeup Artist, she’s equally skilled.  Cassie’s evolution has been bolstered by a close apprenticeship with our in-house Educator, Liz, fueling her growth as a triple threat in our artistry.

Cassie’s gift goes beyond her natural talent; it’s her innate ability to transform desires into realities.  Her keen listening skills and intuitive knack for translating visions into tangible beauty is her signature.  As Liz puts it, “She came to us a natural talent, with an ability to intuitively see things we usually have to train on.  She will be a big name in this industry; just give her time.”  

If you ever need an opinion on what to order out or where to go, just ask Cassie…as a native Red Bank dweller & foodie, she can tell you what’s new and what’s good!

 
 
 
“L Studio has become my sanctuary from the stress that life inevitably brings. It is a place to step away and slow down and take care of myself and the amazing women there pour back into my cup every time I go. Spending time in Kim’s chair is the best hour of any week. We laugh and talk about anything and everything and in the end have something we’re both proud of: great hair. Going to L Studio is girlhood incarnate and I can’t recommend going there enough.”
— Kristen

“As a Stylist, my passion is helping those with fine hair see that fullness and style are absolutely within reach.

With the right color placement, a tailored cut, and a thoughtful styling routine, voluminous hair becomes reality. I specialize in event styling and thrive in that creative, high-energy environment—making sure you feel radiant and confident. While you’re in my chair, your self care time is truly honored—every moment is dedicated to making you feel seen, valued, and respected. I understand how precious your time is, and I take pride in running on schedule—because respecting your time matters just as much as creating beautiful results.”


Meet Kim, the heartbeat of L Studio, where she wears many hats with grace and flair.  As a gifted Stylist and Makeup Artist, Kim brings the full spectrum of beauty to life.  From transformative extensions to exquisite colors, precision cuts to glamorous makeup, Kim’s expertise knows no bounds.

But Kim’s influence doesn’t stop at the styling chair.  As our right hand and salon manager, she’s the mastermind behind the scenes, ensuring every aspect runs seamlessly.  Kim’s the go to for client issues, appointments, and the orchestration of a salon that thrives on organization and efficiency.

Kim’s journey began in high school, where she dove into Cosmetology, setting the stage for a remarkable career.  NJ Glam was her first canvas, where she honed her skills under the guidance of the head Artist and Owner.  From there, she stepped into the wedding industry, a proving ground for her artistry.  Kim thrives under pressure, fashioning flawless looks with an electric energy that resonates in every detail.  

With a keen eye for perfection and a dedication to her craft, Kim is our industry’s triple threat.  She’s your ticket to a look that’s effortlessly natural or boldly trendy, all tailored to your desire.  When she’s not losing sleep over perfecting L Studio systems, you can find Kim at the latest horror movie, dishing her honest opinion of whether it can hold a torch to her favorite scary movie, Halloween.

She also brings her love of beauty into soft glam makeup, creating a full look tailored to each guest.

“Carlie did an AMAZING job taking my hair from bland to BEAUTIFUL!!! She took the time to listen to what I wanted, and did everything in her power to get my hair that way!! Excellent stylist with great energy. Overall, my experience at L Studio was everything I hoped for and more!!”
— Kristen

“I love creating beauty that lasts—hair that looks flawless as it grows in, makeup that wears beautifully all night, and relationships that make every appointment feel like catching up with a friend. I first came to L Studio as a client in 2020 and was drawn to the warm, at-home feeling every visit brought. I met Liz in 2019 while performing in Mamma Mia!; she became my mentor, trained me personally, and helped shape my approach to color. I also trained in makeup artistry under Kim, whose calm, creative guidance informs every makeup look I create. I specialize in highlighting—whether achieving your dream blonde or adding effortless dimension—and I stay current with trends to bring fresh, authentic looks to each client. My goal is a relaxed, personalized appointment that leaves you feeling confident, cared for, and truly yourself.”


Meet Carlie, our resident TikTok creator and coffee enthusiast. With a passion for enhancing your natural beauty, Carlie will be sure to exceed your expectations for the hair and makeup of your dreams. Growing up in the dance and theater world, Carlie was always surrounded by hair and makeup, even without realizing it. She was always the girl doing everyone’s hair and makeup in the dressing rooms. This natural flair carried over into her college years, always being the friend everyone would come to for hair and makeup before birthdays, nights out, and photoshoots. Eventually, she realized she could turn her passion for making people feel beautiful into her career, and has done everything in her power to turn this dream into a reality. In cosmetology school, she quickly realized her intuitive ability to always understand how to make people look their best, but more importantly, feel their best. Your comfort is not something she takes lightly, and she will do everything in her power to make sure your experience at L Studio is an enjoyable one.

Specializing in color and makeup, her artistic eye, honed over the years, is evident in every detail. Carlie firmly believes that the smallest details do make the biggest differences, but also understands the cravings for big changes sometimes! Having experienced her own hair changing drastically over the years, she is always up for big changes! From blonde to black, copper to dimensional brunette, long hair to trendy bobs, Carlie has personal experience with switching up looks- more times than most. This gives her a unique edge to truly understand anything you could desire.

It’s rare you will ever catch her without Rook in her hand or not talking about the latest social media craze. She takes staying up to date with the latest trends very seriously and loves a challenge. She’s always incorporating the newest techniques and aesthetics into her work. Her insatiable curiosity and commitment to continuous learning keep her at the forefront of hair and makeup artistry, always growing and evolving in her craft.

 
“I’ve been getting my hair done by my amazing friend Carlie since she started, and I can honestly say she is the best! It’s always such a fun and relaxed experience!✨ we chat, laugh, and I walk out feeling like a brand new person.

She is so talented and always know exactly what I’m looking for (even when I don’t!).
Whether you’re looking for a fresh cut, color, or just a confidence boost, I couldn’t recommend Carlie more. With all that being said I would definitely call and book your appointment with her!”
— Caroline
 
 

Francesca

@thetoastyfrench

“I’ll handle your hair like the spiritual antenna it is”


Francesca began her hairstyling career right here at L Studio back in 2018! She trained directly under Liz and our other Stylists, while attending outside education. She excels at blonding (especially balayage) and vibrant reds, in addition to stunning makeup, funky, long layered cuts, and voluminous blowouts.

Francesca stepped away from hair for a bit to grow her gift as a Reiki Master, yoga instructor, and psychic. But it wasn’t long after, that she realized she missed beautifying her clients on the outside as well as spiritually.

As someone truly in touch with herself and the spiritual world, she can easily guide you to the hair of your dreams while keeping you relaxed and emotionally nurtured. A natural comedian and kind heart will keep you rebooking time after time (and also loving your healthy, shiny locks)!

 
 
 

“Every visit to L Studio is a delightful experience that leaves me feeling pampered and looking fabulous. From the moment I step through the doors, I’m greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly puts me at ease. From the décor to the friendly smiles of the staff, it creates an environment that is both professional and welcoming.

One of my favorite parts of visiting L Studio is the exceptional talent of their stylists, particularly Liz. Liz has an incredible ability to understand exactly what I want and transform my hair into a masterpiece every single time. Her attention to detail and dedication to her craft are truly remarkable. Whether I’m looking for a vibrant color, or a new style, Liz always exceeds my expectations.

The personalized service at L Studio is another reason I keep coming back. Liz takes the time to listen to my preferences and offers expert advice tailored to my hair type and lifestyle. She uses high-quality products that leave my hair feeling healthy and looking stunning. The entire experience is relaxing and enjoyable, making it a highlight of my month. I always leave L Studio feeling confident and rejuvenated, knowing that my hair looks its best.

Choosing Liz as my stylist was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Her expertise, creativity, and genuine care for her clients make every appointment a pleasure. I trust her completely with my hair, and she never disappoints. L Studio, with its fantastic vibes and top-notch service, has become my go-to place for all my hair needs, almost a home away from home each time I visit!”
— Hilary B.

Looking for expert results without spending your whole day in the salon?

“I specialize in delivering high-impact, low-maintenance color and extensions—with efficient timing and intentional care. With over 15 years of experience and a background as a Kevin Murphy Educator, I blend deep technical knowledge with a personal touch to create custom looks that protect the health of your hair. I’ll listen closely, work quickly, and teach you how to maintain your style confidently at home. You’ll leave feeling seen, understood, and like you’ve just spent time with a good friend. As a busy mom myself, I will always value your time.”


Liz, the visionary behind L Studio, ignited her passion for beauty during her theatrical pursuits in high school and college.  After graduating from Towson University with a Bachelor of Arts, she set her sights on New Jersey to delve into Cosmetology.

Through extensive training across NYC, NJ, Philadelphia, and California, Liz honed her craft under the guidance of industry titans like KEVIN.MURPHY, Goldwell, L’Oreal, Redken and Schwarzkopf. 

Liz earned her stripes as a Color Master with Goldwell in 2017, later embracing the role of Color Educator with KEVIN.MURPHY in 2019.  Her reach extends beyond the salon; she’s a trusted hand at Miami Swim Week and NYC Fashion Week, bringing her artistic touch to the runway.  

But Liz’s journey isn’t defined by accolades alone.  Her passion for her craft finds its true meaning in her genuine and caring approach.  With an ear attuned to her clients’ needs, she listens with an empathetic heart.  Whether it’s a hair challenge or a simple chat, Liz’s dedication shines as she wholeheartedly problem-solves, ensuring every client feels heard and understood. 

With Liz, it’s more than a transformation; it’s a connection that nurtures beauty from the inside out.
