Allure Hair Studio & Day Spa

Chic and charming, that's how I'd describe this gem of a salon. Though it's tucked away in the Manoa Valley, Allure can definitely hold its own against any big-city salon. Not only did I walk away with the best haircut I've ever had, but I felt pampered and relaxed--as if I'd had a mini vacation. Allure has definitely been perfectly named. I can't wait to go back. Pros: Expert staff, ambience, service more

After many year's of living here in Hawaii and surging every few month for a hairdresser Pros: Ambience, Parking, Service. Staff more

I find the staff here to be highly skilled and very accommodating. The environment inside is lovely and relaxing, and I really appreciate the pre-styling massages. I decided to change my hair style from the one I've been wearing for 25 years to something more flattering, which entailed growing out some places and trimming back others, a process I had been dreading. But I got great advice and excellent transitional styles all along the way, and I am very, very satisfied with the end result. more

Being an Aveda Salon I was expecting so much more than I got. The day I was there it seemed like the staff was a little frazzeled. Once I was taken upstair to wait for my stylist, I noticed a dirty, bare foot little girl running around and getting into things. I soon learned this was the owners daughter. Can we say....unprofessional? During the next couple of hours that I was there I heard the owner speak sharply to her assistant, and to the front desk staff. Can we say.....unprofessional? As I was coming back down stairs to leave, here was the same dirty little girl, now on the floor at the bottom of the stairs with the laundry baskets turned upside down, crawling in them. Can we ALL say.....unprofessional???? The last and final insult came when I tried to leave a tip on my credit card for my stylist. I ask the receptionist if she would be giving her my tip and she told me that all credit card tip are only given out on Saturday. So, for all the hard work my stylist did and my wanting to leave her a tip, and now she will have to wait 5 days, until Saturday, to receive the tip from me. Not only can we say unprofessional of the owner, but unthinkable to hold your employees tips. SO in the end......................if you want to have an Aveda experience, this is NOT the salon to go to. more

Love this Hair Studio and Day Spa! It's like a hidden gem in Manoa. Don't be deceived, it may look little from the outside but Allure is spacious on the inside with fabulous energy. Great team of massage therapists, estheticians, and stylists. Love the Kerastace product and love the option of Aveda too. Very accomodative! They even ran across the street to get me a coffee though they do serve that great Aveda tea! Great energy, relaxing, peaceful! Definitely will be telling all my friends! Pros: Ambience, Service, Cons: Parking sometimes more
