      I was late to my appointment but Jay and Emme were so kind and accommodating! Jay gave me a quick consult and was very honest! They don’t force any unnecessary services. Jay did my cut and keratin and he is beyond amazing! So kind professional and very efficient. Emme gave me a nice and relaxing shampoo! Love this place I will be back! Thank you Jay! You’re the greatest!! 🤭😻

      We had an amazing experience working with Jerry especially on such short notice. We didn’t know if we wanted to have videography until about 1-2 weeks before the wedding. Jerry swooped in and did an amazing job. Instant film was completed and sent over the night of the wedding. Ceremony film was done within the week. Amazing turnaround speed and fantastic quality. I don’t know how he does it!

      High on professionalism, commitment, and delivery, this dream team also takes utmost care of the talent and crew on set. Shout out to Sania and the team for being one of the most humane and professional production companies I have worked with in my artistic journey so far. I would highly recommend Luminoustudios to one and all!

      This location has a Hose Shop, Fluid Power repair shop, UL508 Electrical Panel shop and Motion Sales Branch all under one roof. Knowledgeable staff and extensive stock of motion control and electrical products (i.e. VFD's, contactors, controls, etc.) as well as many types of hose (custom built to order), bearings, motors, sprockets, chain, and much, much more.

      Very helpful, knowledgeable people get exactly what I need even when I'm not sure what I'm talking about. Been here several times, the only time I had to wait at the service desk is when they made me a hose on the spot.
