We were greeted as soon as we arrived. Everyone was very nice. There is plenty of parking. Came here for a pedicure and brought my mother for a combo - mani / pedi It's a beautiful shop. Very well designed and spaced. If you sit in the "lobby" - you might just fall asleep on one of the seats of the sofa. They are very comfortable. The music is apropos. Maureen was the lady with the magic touch. Gave my mother her mani / pedicure first. The pedicure chairs are massage chairs and it was a great plus. Best thing is this place is easy to find, right off the freeway. There are lots of places to busy your waiting time as there are many stores and grubberies in the strip mall. read more

Allure is an exceptional salon ... all are always welcoming and exceptional at their art! Highly recommend!

They over charged me for an 11 year olds haircut. $68 and she was there 15 minutes. I was a long time customer and will not be back read more

Got sucked into going here with my mom because she didn't want to go alone. I wouldn't go back. First off one of the employees had their son in the waiting area taking up a couch. The prices are ridiculous and my regular nail place does a much better job is way cheaper. We both got a massage and a aromatherapy pedicure and manicure. I'm still not sure how it was aromatherapy because they didn't do anything special. The manicure was horrible, she didn't even have me wash my hands after filing and removing old polish, I now have bumps and dirt in them and she also didn't get any polish on the sides of my nails and I hate that. The girls were nice and the massage was great. I would never go back or recommend this place. It definitely isn't worth the money. read more

Was taken in after appt time, then gel manicure was rushed, some nails not properly filed or shaped. Nail tech rounded sides of one of the square nails, leaving the rest pointy or curled inward. Nail tech used fiberglass on two of the nails to support and strengthen them. read more

The facility is ok. Nothing fancy. But I am a big fan of Raquel and her massages. I have been there twice and already feeling way better with my back and shoulder muscles. Will highly recommend her!! read more

I cannot recommend the salon highly enough. I have been coming here for years, and when my regular stylist is not available, I have used any of the other stylists, and they are all excellent. (if my regular stylist is not in, she tells whoever is substituting what the formula for my hair color is and what my preferences are) I get haircuts, color, highlights, keratin treatment, manicure and pedicure, and it is always a relaxing and excellent experience. The salon is immaculate, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I recently had a very difficult situation where I needed to get a few services done in one day, and they all worked together to accommodate me. When I go to New York, my family and friends asked me where I get my hair done !!! read more

This place is a disaster. They gave us an appointment time that apparently meant "well we will see you after the person in front of you". I didn't get seated for my service until 45 minutes after my appointment time and what was supposed to take 30 minutes took closer to an hour. They accepted zero responsibility for the delay. Had the service been excellent I'd have brushed it off, but it really wasn't anything spectacular. I have several imperfections in my nails, including one that has a big dent from her trying to fix it and the tech was poking at my cuticles and trimming around the edge of my nail after I had paint on already. I will never come back here. Definitely don't recommend. There's tons of other places to go locally for a far better nail experience. read more

Allure Salon & Spa - Photo shown is 5 days after pedicure - the paint began peeling almost immediately - Hair Salons Near Me - Allentown, Pennsylvania

Avoid! I went in for a haircut and was very clear to the stylist I wanted my hair about an inch below my collar bone- I said it out loud, I pointed and she even folded the hair to demonstrate. When all was said and done, my hair was barely touching the top of my collarbone- a good 1-2 inches shorter than I asked. When I nicely pointed out this was shorter than I wanted, instead of owning the mistake and apologizing, the stylist completely dismissed me, saying "but you look good," "it's not that short" and "you have to go short or long, you can't go I between." Last I checked, as a paying customer I can go whatever length I well please. The cashier heard the entire exchange and pointedly avoided asking me how my service was - isn't it a customary thing for cashiers to politely ask how your experience was?? Your staff are rude an inconsiderate. read more

Manicures and Pedicures are always excellent when I have had them, but getting just a polish change is not an option. The manager ignores this request from her clients and is not accommodating. I would like to see this changed in the future. read more

I absolutely adore Allure Salon. The staff is so kind, the receptionist are always so attentive and pleasant. You truly cannot have a bad hair or nail experience here. their products are wonderful and I always leave feeling wonderful. read more

I went here for a regular manicure and pedicure. It was the longest process for a plain mani pedi and I had to be somewhere 2 hours after my appointment time. We started with the pedicure but By the time they started painting my toenails it was already an hour and 15 minutes into the appointment. I told the manicurist that I would like to come back another time for my manicure since I don't have time now and she said not to worry, she will have time to do the manicure without rushing so I agreed. Long story short, it was VERY rushed, skipping through many steps of the manicure and overall doing a poor job. I left with wet fingernails and with a quality I could've done at home. To top it all off, it was so overpriced. Will not be going back and do not recommend. read more

I really don't know what to think. I'm leaving a review because my friend said other people should know about our experience. I have curly hair and my daughter has curly hair. I have been looking around for a new salon after 8 years of driving 40 minutes. I had no personal recommendation to this salon. I had gone in there once to buy a product and everyone seemed nice. Salon was cute, etc. I thought I'd try a cut for my daughter here and if I liked it, I'd come too. Allure's website had a $10 off new client special and they had kids cuts age 7- 14 from -$32/$38. When calling I said my daughter had curly hair and was 13, was there someone who specialized in that? Sure was the reply and appointment was booked. Especially for a 13 year old, a haircut at a salon is a really special experience. It just so happens that my daughter has really bad acne right now. She is under a dermatologist care, but she's really feeling bad about it. I was excited for her to get a stylish haircut and feel good. We arrive on time and they took her right away. There didn't seem to be much conversation from the stylist. Sometimes that works out because they know what to do. I duck out to buy band aids 2 stores down and ran into a friend and we chatted. I came back to the salon and my daughter is sitting in the waiting hair with completely wet hair. What happened? I ask her. "She said she never dries curly hair and told me she was done." Huh????? I didn't want to embarrass my daughter and ask "What in the world?" because the stylist was already cutting her next customer. So weird. The cut was meh. Definitely shorter, but not a reshape so her curls would be pronounced. I have had curly hair my entire life. Yes, do I let my hair air dry? Yes, but I also use a diffuser and most salons have heat lamps or full dryers they can put on low. It just wasn't a nice experience. When I was paying, I was surprised that the price was $42. (Being that the website said $38 top end kids cut.) I was told the website wasn't updated. Hmmm. They had time to update their computer to charge more. Also, I hate places where you can't tip on your credit card. I was told I could hand over cash or venmo. I also found it strange that I was to hand cash to the front desk and they put it in their box. I appreciate salon were you get an envelope for cash and you can write a note. I admit it, I want credit for my tip. :) However, this long review to say, I said I'd tip on venmo and never did. First time in my life that I never tipped, but for 25 minutes of ok service, I truly didn't think it merited it. Truly hope our experience was just an off day. read more

I've been going here for years and always love how I look, no matter who I've gone to! Other places just aren't the same. The spa always leaves you feeling amazing too! Highly recommended! read more

I was very unhappy with the services provided and I called to speak to the manager within minutes of leaving to make her aware. I didn't say anything at checkout because I didn't want to make the stylist feel bad. I had even told the receptionist I was planning on going to another salon to have the haircut I had there corrected and she said the owner would call me back. She never called me back and I had it corrected somewhere else that same day. I personally went in to show her my receipt to prove I had it corrected somewhere else and she didn't even offer store credit or at least a portion of what I had paid. Worst customer service. Don't even waste your time speaking to the owner. The owner will say anything just to get out of reimbursing you. read more

My husband and I have been getting pedicures and hair services from Lexi, Katherine and Laura for quite some time and really love them. The paraffin dip and kick-butt work they do keeps us coming back. Allure also has a fabulous holiday party each year which is always PACKED since they really know how to have a good time. Keep in mind that gratuities cannot be added to your cc bill, so be sure to bring cash for tips. read more

Best pedicure I've ever had, but way too expensive! I got a basic manicure with gel polish and a regular pedicure with gel polish. With a 20% off coupon, it was 82 dollars and change! They charge an additional 15 dollars for gel. So, it was the basic manicure with an extra 15 and the pedicure with an extra 15. The woman I went to was great, and I'm happy with my nails, but the cost is astronomical. read more

I was expecting a great experience, but it was just ok. The cut and highlights turned out the way I expected, which is obviously why I went there. Before moving to PA, the salon I went to did little things that made the experience memorable, made me want to come back, and I always recommended them. I arrived 5 minutes early, quickly completed paperwork and sat there until 8 minutes after my appointment time. Three people came in after me and were seen right away. Letting me know that "Mary" was running late or that she would be with me soon would have been appreciated. The choice of music playing wasn't calming or relaxing, rather it's more of a soft hard rock station they had it on when I was there. The salon still has the old-style sinks for washing hair. I was getting uncomfortable getting my hair washed and rinsed. A day later, my neck still hurts. I forewarned a friend of mine who has an appointment because she had neck surgery so with my neck still hurting, I can only imagine how she will feel afterwards. While standing at the counter to pay my bill, two people were behind the desk. One was on the phone, the other looked at her computer, looked at me and then at her computer. An acknowledgement of me standing there would have been nice. About a minute went by and then the lady says she can help me. I learned while checking out that this salon doesn't accept tips on a credit card. Learning this up front when I booked the appointment (told them I just moved here), would have been ideal. Luckily, I had some cash on me, which is very rare. I planned to give 30% tip, but "Mary" didn't receive but 15% given this policy. It is unfortunate that this practice is in place because the staff is most likely getting gipped on tips because of it. Of course, I can only speak for myself, but I am sure I am not alone. Coming from a salon that did little things to make the experience a great one, my expectations may be too high now that we are in a new area. I may go back to Allure, but I will continue to look around. read more

My daughter recently was conned by these people to get the Japanese straightening and THEN bleached her hair. When we called to discuss, the owner was "on vacation" but for a small fee could fix the problem. They literally might be the worst hair salon EVER. I am all about some customer service to be able to vocalize the issues. When we did reach her 5 days later she informed us, we hadn't bought the $200 worth of products she had suggested when she left. Awesome :). Yeah, they're the worst. After reading the reviews, their "real" customer service is related in the post from the other one star. THAT is who they really are. read more

I have been going to this salon for more than 10 years and always have a great experience. The owner Linda is fabulous and is the person I trust to do the best job on my hair. She always does a phenomenal job and I have loved every haircut I have gotten from her. Not only is the haircut good, but the experience itself is very enjoyable. Linda really gets to know you and I always have the best conversations with her. Overall, I have never had a bad experience here and will keep coming back again and again. read more

I am 60 & have been in high end salons (Philadelphia area) and quick trims chains so I have some experience with salons. I decided to try allure as my hair needed shaping and style. Been a long time in between cuts as my hair takes forever to grow as I am getting older. The good, My stylist was very pleasant girl and the cut was done well HOWEVER The bad, I was VERY CLEAR as to what I wanted the bare minimum trim since it takes my hair a long time to grow. She asked if I was Ok with this length and showed me to touching the shoulder. I agreed but the cut is much shorter barely hitting the bottom of my neck! not what I wanted or agreed too. There is no framing to my face which I wore into the salon so she could see how I like my hair. Instead I have the same old straight bob you see everyone else have. My bangs are to heavy and not tailored down on the sides, I was very clear about this. I went to Allure thinking I would be getting better, more unique cut. A "better" salon would listen to my unique request for my individual head. As I said it takes me years to get the length and it was cut away. If the customer is clear and specific, if the stylist & customer agree on length, I would expect the customer should get what they ask for. I value good listening skills and I was very clear. Finally I felt for the price that a relaxing shampoo and some time being spent on the customer would be expected. Lower cost chains to the same thing but at less than half the price... Woke up still overwhelmingly disappointed and now 3 more years to get the length again... read more

I don't even know where to begin. This massage was probably the worst massage I have ever gotten. Don't waste your money. I selected the relaxation massage which I always select when I get a massage. I usually go to healing hands in Bethlehem and from here on out I will stick with healing hands because the woman at Allure who gave the massage barely applied any pressure. Medium deep was requested and she barely worked any tension out. I did not expect to pay 70$ to just have lotion applied to my body. I could have my husband do that. I still have knots in the areas that I requested to be worked on. Also, the hot towels were a great idea except when she rubbed the rough and scratchy rags up and down my legs. I don't see the point. The staff were nice and the place seemed clean, but ultimately the massage was terrible. I highly recommend healing hands in Bethlehem. Money well spent there. read more

I've been coming here for over a year. Everyone here is always so courteous and super friendly! I see Laura for my hair and she's never let me down. Today I decided to go big. After having black box dyed hair for 2 years I decided to chop off inches and go lighter. Laura did exactly what I asked and so much more! Will never go to another salon!! read more

I have been going to this Salon and Michelle since I moved her 4 years ago. Now I also see Laura for facials. They have been very welcoming to me since I was new to the area. Very helpful, professional and fun. I look forward to my appointments as I know they will be fun and informative. I have loved every haircut/color I have gotten from Michelle along with the fun conversations and her expertise. My facials from Laura are something I look forward they are so relaxing and my skin has improved 100% since I started getting them. I recommend Michelle and Laura but also the salon itself because all my interactions with everyone there has been great. read more

Been coming to Allure for years and it's always a pleasure! If you're nervous about getting a haircut in the post-COVID environment, don't be as Allure has every base covered! Always excellent and quick service with a smile. Check them out! read more

Atmosphere is very classy, upbeat, professional, comfortable, and clean. I've been a customer many years and it only gets better with time.

Well I just wanted a haircut but they rolled out the red carpet....what a great ending to a hard day. Thank you @alluresalon! The best!!!

Megan took her time with my hair and selected a couple of products that have helped me achieve a great look.

I had my baby shower party the next day and went for getting a cool bob cut. The hair stylist (Laura/Lauri - dunno if its the right name ) , she chopped my hair all away (that too after 1 hour ) . Then she tried to correct the hairstyle by ironing my hair. All the layers had a major disconnect . On top of all this, she chopped my bangs so short, that they would not move left or right . They were sticking out and I looked like a monkey . I said I wanted to part left. She says .."oh that's easy" and started ironing the bangs left . the bangs still wouldn't go left or right . At that point I asked if she would please stop and almost started crying . Then she called another lady who tried to correct the worst haircut . But even she could not do anything about the bangs, as they were too short . I left the salon without creating a scene, and my sister paid for the haircut . They assured that the owner would refund. But today the owner calls and says that I would have to return to get the haircut done. I stay 70 miles away and my sis is around the Allentown area. But they wont refund or give any service to my sister either. I look like a MAN now. I hate to look at myself in the mirror . Its so bad. Please take my advice..never ever ever visit this salon if you want to look good . read more

Don't ever go here for a wax. I had a brazilian and my eyebrows done here. The area that the brazilian was done (you know ladies) was a mess - took me ages to recover. Additionally, I ended up with the most ridiculously shaped eyebrows, even though I specified removal of fine hair and no shaping. Simply awful. read more

I started coming here a few years ago when I need a flexible appt. My first appt was with Jill and I have been seeing her since! She always understands what I would like done with my hair color and I am always satisfied when I leave. This salon and stylist is also flexible in getting you in if you need to reschedule an appt. read more

Had another great Brazilian Blow out. Thanks Lexi! Walked out with a new soft shiny hair looks a 100 times better!!!

The only place I'll get my beauty services done. Been going for years, every 6 weeks for color, and have never been disappointed. Cheryl is the only person I'll ever let touch my eyebrows again! read more

Mary, the hairdresser who I had, was excellent. She actually listened. Perfect cut, color, everything was exactly as I requested. However, I did not know they did not accept personal checks. My total bill was $130. I did not have that amount of cash and no credit cards on me. Only because I ran out of my house in order not to be late for the appointment (my fault). However, I only learned at checking out that they do not accept personal checks. The receptionists were very sweet. The owner, Linda, was not in but she communicated with the receptionist that I HAD TO PAY with a valid credit card, or she would send the police!! Is that a way to treat a customer? Never again!!! Not worth the stress and aggravation....To shorten the length of this story, I left that day. It was suggested that I go to PNC right in the mall to cash a check. I did but because the check was not drawn on PNC, they would not cash. The next day, a Saturday, I went back to Allure with the cash; cold cash. I have never EVER been threatened by a business owner that they would send the police. In fact, I am not aware of any business that will not accept a check with proper identification. And, be prepared to be abused by the owner. She is quite abusive. The name of the shop used to be "L A Hair Trends"...I believe the owner has gotten a bad reputation which is of her own doing. She probably has a reasonable explanation for the name change, but I have to wonder.... Please use my name. Georgia Pulizzano read more

Excellent salon and spa! I love the personalized attention and always feel pampered during my time there! Linda is an outstanding hair stylist and I am always extremely satisfied with the results! read more

Was given the name of this hair salon and spa by an old friend. I was in need of a professional cut from someone more experienced than the 'holiday hair' type places. I saw Linda, and she was amazing! She gave my hair a protein treatment and was the first person to cut my hair where I actually loved the cut! My hair felt super healthy when I left! The only downfall was the 70 dollar price tag and then of course a tip.. A simple haircut was around 85 dollars BUT a good stylist is hard to find! read more

Hands down one of the best salons in the Lehigh Valley! I've been getting my haircut here for as long as I can remember, and it's worth every penny. The customer service is the best out of any salon I've been to! Before they even start, I receive an in-depth consultation highlighting issues my hair's issues, potential styles that will look good, and am provided with explanations regarding everything they plan to do with my hair. Therefore, I'm always well-informed and never have to worry about them styling it in a different way than I pictured because they really listen to your opinion. I also get my eyebrows done here, and they always come out looking very natural and polished. Everyone is extremely friendly and accommodating. I was originally nervous about going back because of Covid-19, but I was delighted to see that they took even better precautions than my doctor! I was presented with hand sanitizer at the door, they took my temperature, and everyone was masked. They even provide a separate entrance for people who are immunocompromised (I didn't use it, but was informed about it and thought that was amazing enough to include in the review!). They made me feel extremely safe while maintaining the same level of hospitality that I was used to there. Needless to say, I highly recommend! read more

Would never go back there. Went there to get a cut and color. Color was awe full and haircut was not what I asked for. I was charged 225.00. But the day before I stopped by to schedule the appointment and was told it would cost 110.00. I don't know how this salon remains to stay in business. I spoke to owner and got a total ridiculous story about how they had to use more color than anticipated. My hair is shoulder length. There are so many more good reliable salons in the area. read more

I got the worst bikini wax I have ever recieved! Not only did I get abrasion burns, but I also was bruised in multiple areas. Before going here I didn't even know it was possible to get bruised from waxing. I called back to tell them of the horrendous job they had done and their comment was, "you can't get us for malpractice, we suggesst you see a doctor." After seeing my doctor and nurse, who also was an esthetician, they were appalled at the skin burns but most especially at the dreadful customer service at Allure. I would highly suggest never going here, especially for waxing services. read more

First time going here, and only went because I received a gift certificate. In my opinion, it is very expensive for what you get. I got a full sculptured acrylic set w shellac polish and a pedicure, and it came out to $139!!!! That being said, had them done for less than a week, and two of them started lifting. I called and let them know of the issue, and on the phone they said come in and they will fix those two, no charge, however, when I was ready to leave after they were fixed they tried to charge me!!! Not acceptable! They obviously were not on very good to be lifting in a few days, and it's just poor customer service to charge. The only good thing I will say, is that the girl who did my nails, was very nice. However, I def will NOT be going back! read more
