Depending on what exactly you want, you could do e.g.
  mosaic(HairEyeColor, labeling = NULL)
which prints no labels at all. If you only want to suppress
names(dimnames(HairEyeColor)) you could do
  mosaic(HairEyeColor, labeling_args = list(varnames = FALSE))
etc.

The user can change everything (well, almost)! Unfortunately, this
flexibility means that most options will not be obvious `at a quick
glance'. David (as the main author) knows most options, even I (as a
co-author) had to look up how the above works.
But now there are at least some vignettes which explain the many knobs
and switches in mosaic().
