Allure Salon

My hair extensions are still on my head and look and feel amazing! I love them:

I am new to Seattle and needed a new hair stylist. I have partial highlights to blend in my natural brown hair with the incoming gray hair. Amani did an amazing job matching the highlights I had and blended everything in perfectly! I loved it so much I just went back to get my eyebrows tinted for the first time. I brought my eyebrow pencil in and she matched the color perfectly as well. Highly recommend Allure!

During Covid, I made the difficult decision to allow my dark brown colored hair to go grey. Amani was super supportive and helped me to make this very difficult decision. It took several weeks to make the transformation as gentle as possible, but I am very pleased with the result and super happy that I am no longer coloring my hair every three weeks!

I still get to see Amani for my cuts and to add low lights on occasion, and I am immensely grateful that I have such a talented stylist on my side. Amani is fun, interesting, positive, encouraging and tremendously talented. I have been seeing her for a decade and will continue with her for the rest of my days.

I went in for a Keratin treatment at 10am. Champagne the cutest Yorkie in the world sat on my lap as I got the treatment. Suffice it to say the service was fantastic and the experience incredibly charming. I have very wavy but frizzy color treated hair that needed a good taming. The keratin treatment did just that. My waves are now perfect and sleek and I can clip in my hair extensions after my hair has air dried without any more effort bc the texture of my hair matches the extensions perfectly. Super recommended!

The haircut was fine, the color was not - it turned out the way I told her I didn't like and was trying to avoid. I knew I was disappointed even in the salon, but the salon's fluorescent lighting washed everything out, and when I got home to better lighting, it was even worse and I was very unhappy. When I tried to get in touch to see if she would fix it, the business phone number was out of order. I gave up and got it fixed elsewhere.

Amani decided she wanted to go home early prior to completing my Keratin express. She called me an hour prior (I was unavailable) and said she just wanted to confirm because I did not confirm the text. She gave no indication I was in jeopardy of losing my appointment and I had made the appointment two weeks prior. I was headed out to Florida and needed this down and I am now stranded.

On top of that she needs to stick to Keratin treatments. I went to her for a blowout and $55 later I ended up with something I could have done myself. Do yourself a favor- don't waste your time.

I just moved to Seattle from the Bay Area and was nervous to try a new salon since I had my regular hair stylist in the Bay that I trusted. Amani went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and listened to. She's amazing at the Keratin treatment, that's her specialty, but also she did an amazing job with my new bob. Besides the fact that she's a fabulous hair dresser, she's also such a cool person. Thanks, Amani! You're the best girl!

Amani gave me the best haircut I've ever had! I'm super picky about my hair and cutting any length off. I had some split ends that she somehow took off without making my hair look any shorter. I told her I didn't like how flat and heavy my long hair has been, so she added more layers and face framing. It's perfect! In addition, Allure carries amazing products and the salon is clean and comfortable. There's also tons of parking!

Amani owns her own salon and is a badass gal with a talent for hair. She's great at what she does. Amani listens to clients and is honest with them. After seeing Amani for the last two years (I originally came to her from a keratin promotion), I've realized she has many repeat clients that come to her for their hair but also her stories. She's fun to talk to and I always feel great when I leave. I would recommend Amani at Allure Salon to anyone.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Allure Salon with Amani was so upsetting I feel the need to share. I scheduled a full balayage with a trim and ended up having to switch my appointment from a Wednesday to a Friday. Amani got me in no problem (her website showed availability so why would I believe this would be an issue?) I went in for my appointment, Amani asked what I wanted and I showed her pictures of bright blonde balayage and told her that "I know it might take a couple sessions to get me here, but this is the look I am going for" (I am currently blonde but not super bright).

She stated no problem at all, let's get you bright and blonde! I've gotten many full balayage's in the past and it usually takes a couple hours of painting to get each layer of my hair. Amani painted about 10 sections of hair (took a total of 45 mins) and then let me sit there to process for about 30 minutes. I was already hesitant and kind of worried about what my hair would look like with such little color painted in, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt since she was the professional.

As my hair is processing her friend/next appointment comes in and Amani starts doing her hair (not a problem at all) however, once she put me in the shampoo bowl and washed my hair real quick she threw some toner on my hair and did not say how long I was supposed to sit there for, she left to continue working on her friend and I sat in that bowl for over an hour with my neck against the sink, no offer for a magazine, or if I was comfortable or needed anything.

I felt completely neglected for an hour while she laughed around and worked on her friend. When she was done with her friend she finally finished rinsing my hair and got me into the chair. She brushed my hair out and asked what I wanted for a trim, I said the absolute bare minimum. So she did that, which took about 10 seconds maybe. Once she started blow drying my hair, my worries about the lack of color in my hair were confirmed.

There was no change to my hair, if anything my hair looked darker from the toner. I expressed this to Amani and her response was "did you see how much product I used on you?" Uhmm no I am sorry. I am not a hair dresser I don't know how to differentiate between a lot and a little amount of product. All I know, is that 10 painted strands of hair is not a full balayage.

I very respectfully emphasized how I did not see any difference in my hair and she did not offer to add any more color or anything. When I went to check out she said "I did not charge you for a haircut" (well thanks, you little took a dusting off that took 10 seconds). I gave her a 25% tip on top of the $200 balayage that I paid for. I did this to be nice, and in hopes that we could arrange a time for her to add a couple pieces so that I could notice a difference in my hair.

This did not happen. I texted her that evening at 5 pm and asked if I could come in sometime when she has time to add a couple pieces near my face so that I could notice a difference in my hair. No response. The next morning, I texted her at 10:30am and said that I was disappointed in the lack of customer service. She immediately texted me back at this point and seemed very defensive.

She said that I did not give her 24 hours to respond and that she was very professional and had great customer service.and she tried to make me feel bad by saying she squeezed me in to her very booked schedule last minute (remember, I checked her website for availability and it showed she had an empty schedule that is why I asked to switch appointments) long story short I ended up apologizing to her and asked AGAIN if we could figure out a time for me to come in and get a couple highlights near my face so I could notice what I paid for.

She did not text me back until 2 days later. At this point I had scheduled an appointment with someone else. I told her this and she said "ok". Moral of the story.it was not what I paid for and the lack of customer service is what shocked and upset me the most. I definitely will not be returning.

Amani is absolutely amazing! I have super thick hair and have always struggled with finding a good stylist and now I finally have! She applied a Keratin treatment and cut and styled my hair. She went above and beyond and spent hours making it perfect. I have never felt better about my hair after leaving a salon. This is the only place I will go from now on and I highly recommend Amani!

Serrana is an amazing stylist! She recently moved salons. Allure told me she's working in Duvall, thank goodness I ran into her because she's working at Tousle Salon in Wallingford. I will follow her anywhere and am so glad she's not in Duvall and that she's still close to me!

Amani was awesome! She did a keratin treatment on my hair last week and I'm so in love with it! My hair is so smooth and it's so easy to style! Thank you Amani! See you in a few months

I purchased the Living Social deal for the keratin treatment. Amani is a professional and knowledgable hair dresser. I was very impressed with her salon and business. I was only in town for a short period but definitely recommend her to locals.great place to keep going back to to keep up with the sweating treatments.

Another incredible experience! I've been wanting to go blonde and I'm a dark brunette. Amani spent so much time, literally 10+ hours over a few weeks span to perfect my transformation. I'm loving my new blonde look! Couldn't be happier with the A- list treatment and all the special time/dedication she took to perfect this color correction. :-

I have been going to Allure, specifically Amani for 4 years now. My very first experience with Amani was her correcting a red hair that ultimately went orange. She has drastically changed my hair at my whim, and done it really well. We have done several colors and several cuts but Keratin is my absolute favorite. I have tired curly hair that really does not have an option for much change, however Amani has made me love my hair and given me a style of my own (both curly and straight). Allure salon was next door to my work and the convenience was a blessing.

She has now moved and I have moved with her. I am willing to go out of my way to seek out her services. Not only has she renovated the new space to her very own, but it is really Chik. Amani is a joy to be around, her quick wit and humor make my experience quite enjoyable.

Terrible experience.just terrible. I paid total almost $700 for a coloring that stained my part of my scalp and left other parts of my roots grey in preparation for some improperly applied extensions. When I called immediately to tell the hairdresser they were pulling my hair, she wanted me to wait for 4 days to remove the clips that were causing me pain (not to mention damaging my hair and scalp). To top it all off, she wanted another $100-$150 to remove her shoddy work.

From the word go (which is now 5 years ago!), Amani has 100% earned my trust with my hair, and I highly recommend that you trust her with yours -- no matter what type, length, or condition. When I first came to her, my hair had turned from dark blonde straight hair to this weird sort of brown frizzy situation that I had never expected (thanks, mid-20s hormones!).

It was crazy to walk into a salon and meet a stylist (who was highly recommended to me by a close friend) and have her immediately know more about my new hair type than I did! She knew all about these kinds of changes, different things I could do with my hair with varying degrees of maintenance, but really listened to what I wanted and how much time I wanted to put into it on a daily basis.

Five years later, I can tell you that I've never walked out of there with a questionable hair cut, but rather that I've had fun trying lots of different things under Amani's expert care. Based on my experience with her, she has beyond mastered color, keratin, and obviously, women's / men's cuts. As one of my friends said, "If you want something edgy and asymmetrical, I'm sure she could do it, but it is clear to me that Amani does 'pretty girl hair.' You just walk out of there feeling gorgeous." It's not by accident that she knows what she's doing and is great at it -- she goes to trainings and stays current on what's new like no one I've seen.

She picks up on trends before they've really even hit Seattle, and is ready to go whenever you are. I laugh, because by the time I was ready to try some new color and with bangs, she had already had some ideas in mind and showed me on her iPad with her Pinterest board pulled up. To which I responded, "Um, Amani, that's pretty much where I came up with my idea of where I wanted to go with my hair today!" In conclusion, if you're looking for someone who you can trust with your hair, I suggest you give Amani a try. My bet is that she'll win you over like she did me!

I should also add that the owner wrote me a personal email threatening to sue me if I didn't remove my review of my experience at this salon. A Washington Better Business Bureau claim has been filed against this company at the suggestion of the salon who removed my extensions as well.

I absolutely love this place! I have been seeing Serrana since I moved to Seattle over a year ago & I swear she remembers our first conversation! You can see my first review at their original location in Belltown. I came in the first time for a Groupon Keratin treatment & I have been coming back every 4 months to keep my hair smooth & frizz free. She also does an excellent Ombre & I trust her completely with my haircuts. I would 100% recommend this place! It also has a really great view of Lake Union (the back windows look right on the water) & lots of parking.

Serrana is the only person I've returned to for a keratin treatment-- she is THAT good! I've had several treatments now, and at other places, they usually fade and my hair gets frizzy after a few months. But every time I've gone to Allure, my treatment lasts up until the next treatment (I only had to get another one due to grow out)!

Unless you want terrible color a worse blow dry while spending over three hours in the chair, DO NoT go to this salon. I went for the first time and immediately had no confidence in my stylist. Sure enough after applying color, my hair starting turning pink. I kept telling her about my hair tinting pink and she assured me, it was just color of treatment.

Left me in chair for almost hour while she chatted in back with co workers. I showed her that my hair was tinted pink and she completely dis regarded my comments, rushed through my blow dry, and gave me a sub par haircut. Decor is very 80s with chipped paint on walls and dirty floors. Repeated calls to owner went un returned and there was zero effort to make my experience right. Will never go back

First time doing a Keratin treatment - and I highly recommend it. The biggest downfall is the 3-day waiting period after the treatment before you can wash your hair. The staff was very knowledgable and gave great recommendations! I will do this again.

After going over some reviews I had done previously, one in particular stood out. My below review of Allure Salon. As noted, my review was not of the particular stylist, since I have no clue where I would be without her, but of the salon. Sometimes, a quick haste in reviews can tend to lead to an unflattering read afterwards. After I read my review, it could be looked at in two different ways. Let's clear some things up.

When you first walk in the salon, you never know what type of music will be playing. It could be jazz, r&b, a comforting soul or a wake me up rump shaker. You are offered tea, coffee and wine (both red and white). The stylists (including who I now know is the owner) are very friendly and fashionable (I swear there are at least 5 or 6 pairs of shoes I want to take off of their feet and run).

In my initial review, it may have come off that I felt they were uncomfortable with my beautiful skin color Needless to say, that is certainly not the case. When walking into any salon, small business store, or local cleaners. If they are not familiar with you, they will be curious. These ladies are beautiful and professional. Though I have not had my hair done by any of them personally, I have seen and heard their clients give wonderful feedback in regards to the services they have done.

I have also seen them Also, one thing that I look at with any salon, fitness center or any place that I know that I will frequent quite a bit, I check out the bathroom. This bathroom is clean. I have never had a problem going in there and feeling like I had to immediately take a shower after using it. As we all know, women restrooms can be quite nasty. Not the case with this place. It is always clean and ready for usage.

Allure is awesome not only for great haircuts, but also for great atmosphere and fun stylists. Michelle, one of the owners, is a great colorist and stylist, and always gives me great info. about how to go about the neverending process of growing out my hair. Allure is not snobby - it's low key. They are in the mid-price range and do not push products. They display art from local artists on the walls and play good music. I always feel better when I leave this place!
