About Us
LUX Hair Studio was founded in 2008 when owner Francine Thompson relocated her established clientele from Kingston to Saugerties to bring her vision of an elevated, education-driven salon to life. After meeting with AVEDA representatives, Francine secured a partnership built on refined technique and high-performance hair care.—marking the official beginning of LUX.
A respected leader in the Hudson Valley beauty industry, Francine brings over 25 years of experience and advanced training with renowned brands including Bumble and Bumble, Paul Mitchell, Rusk, and AVEDA. Today, she works behind the chair one day per week, while dedicating the majority of her time to Elite Salon Leadership, her online education platform, and to mentoring, supporting, and developing the talented team at LUX.
