Irina my savior...

by lillady0405 at Citysearch

Just when I thought that there was no sense of customer service left in Miami, I found Allure salon. I drove by this place and saw that they were open on Sunday. I just so happened to walk in and spoke with the salon manager Pablo. He was very attentive and incredibly friendly. I asked him 1000 questions and he answered them all gladly. He scheduled me for a consultation with Irina which he recommended based on what I had asked him. She knew more than I could have ever expected from a hairstylist and even denied doing a CHI Japanese straightener on my hair that day because "my hair wasn't in the right condition" to do it. I was amazed that she passed on the offer of doing a service that cost a few hundred bucks. I don't think any other hairdresser in Miami would have done that so she hooked me right then and there. I knew she wasn't about the money and decided to schedule my CHI after a series of recommended treatments (all included in the price of the CHI along with the Haircut by the way : - ) ). After she was done, my hair was shiny, silky, and still healthy! A week later she did highlights and my hair still feels awesome! She does not cease to amaze me still. I can tell you that I found the hair stylist for me. Professional, honest, talented that sums up Irina. My hair has NEVER looked better thanks to Irina.

• Pros: Irina's talent, honesty, and fair prices.

How can they call themselves professionals?

by mimiboo at Citysearch

I would cut my own hair with a weed whacker before going to this salon. This place clearly lacks properly trained stylists. I have never in my life seen so many "want-to-be" stylists that have absolutely no class.

I guess the big tip off that this place is a joke, should have been that a colorist has horrible hair color with a mismatched ponytail extension...

• Pros: Are you kidding me? There are none!
• Cons: Quality of service is sub-standard

Irina saved me!

by JettS at Citysearch

I am new in town and was a bit reluctant to try out a new stylist as I've had some horrible experiences in the past. My hair was over processed and dry. Needless to say, it was in much need of some tlc. I mentioned this to a good friend and she recommended Irina. I was hesitant but I made the phone call and was relieved to speak to someone who not only was very knowledgeable but also very friendly. I immediately booked my appointment! I was pleasantly surprised by the convenience of the location and parking. They have parking directly in the rear of the salon AND they validate for the first hour! Irina was warm, easy to talk to, listened, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I walked in a skeptic and walked out feeling like a million bucks! She not only gave me the color I was going for without causing anymore damage to my hair but went above and beyond with the style. I finally have that edge that I've been searching for, for so long. She's an artist who has perfected her craft and is obviously keeping it fresh and innovative. I'm hooked. I would recommend her to anyone.

• Pros: staff,parking, prices, proffesionalism, knowledgeable
• Cons: none

will never go back

by miamixoxo23 at Citysearch

I went here expecting to be treated like a guest. Instead, I was treated more like an inconvenience. I asked for a trim and Carlos cut way too much off. The staff was very unprofessional, carrying on with inappropriate conversations and generally ignoring the clients. Carlos was more concerned with getting a good review on citysearch than pleasing the client. I do not recommend.

• Pros: none
• Cons: unprofessional

Hair Straightening Done Perfectly for a Great Price

by Jennifer C at Citysearch

I am a local Miami native and when my long time stylist who always did my ionic hair straightening closed his salon, I was worried about finding a replacement. In Miami, it is easy to find a stylist but a good stylist that doesn't over charge is hard to find- and that is what I found when I gave Carlos at Allure a try. I was taken exactly at my appointment time and the results of my hair straightening were amazing. It has been 2 weeks and my hair is healthy, shiny, and frizz free. Carlos also charged less than what I had been paying my other stylist for years, and the results were just as good if not better. I also liked that he did not try to be pushy when suggesting haircare products and he paid complete attention to me during the very lengthy process. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family. Carlos- I look forward to seeing you for a cut and style soon. Thanks for being my new hair guru!

• Pros: Talented Stylist; Fair Prices; Clean
• Cons: Parking

carlos at allure is great......

by vivi927 at Citysearch

I walked in looking and feeling drab. My hair was dry and damaged from previous botched color jobs so I was in dire need of a good colorist and maybe even more hair! hah. Carlos had a solution for all three of my problems. He fixed my terrible color, gave me a keratin treatment to bring my hair back to normal health, and gave me extensions for length. He did a wonderful job with everything and I'm surprised he did. After such bad experiences in other salons, I'm thrilled to have found Carlos. Thank you!

• Pros: made me look incredible
