I visited this salon in June, and 6 months later I am still dealing with the damage that was done…read moreto my hair. Out of respect for the stylist, I will not be sharing her name, however I feel I need to share what I have been dealing with so others don't go through the same experience. I went in for a full foil - a process that this stylist had done on my hair before, in addition to balayages and other processes involving bleach. I was at the salon for hours, which was abnormal, and walked out with hair damaged beyond belief after spending about $300. The underneath layers of my hair were melted off, and the rest of my hair was snapping and breaking off in clumps, to the point where I could hardly even comb my hair with a wide tooth comb without losing significant amounts of hair at a time. My roots were uneven, I had a large stripe on the back of my head, other areas had color banding, in addition to the irreversible damage that I had never experienced despite getting bleach processes done regularly for about 8 years. After this visit, I contacted the salon about my concerns, and the owner agreed to look at my hair. She told me it looked fine and that the damage was not as bad as I thought, despite the fact that she herself had never dealt with my hair before. Only after I repeatedly expressed my concerns did she agree to tone my roots, and I walked out for a second time with hair so damaged and nowhere close to what I had requested in my initial appointment. I then went to visit a different salon in the area, where the stylist that helped me informed me that I would likely be dealing with the repercussions of this damage for at least a year, if not longer. At this point, I contacted Allure again to get my money back. Despite getting my money back, I have spent a significant amount at this other salon trying to fix it, yet I still experience a lot of breakage that I never dealt with before my last appointment here. If you are looking to get a blonding or bleaching process here, I strongly suggest to look elsewhere. The damage that was done to my hair here was devastating, and has lasted for months with no end in sight.

I knew I made the right choice as soon as I went for my trial for hair and makeup but they truly outdid themselves even from that for my actual wedding day, I had the pleasure of having Erin, Laura and Lindsey and they were all amazing and super fun to be around and all were extremely friendly and provided touch ups to everyone before they left for the day. Also an added touch is that they travel to you which was super convenient since my ceremony and reception were held in the same place so I didn't have to worry about traveling anywhere all day. I believe I ended up having 11 people getting both hair and makeup done and they finished extremely fast while still taking their time to make sure each person was perfect and were extremely efficient and the room never once felt cramped or congested at least to me. I can not recommend them enough you will not be disappointed and they really know what they're doing and can help you look stunning even if you're not sure what you're looking for yourself! I personally never do my hair never do my makeup and went in having no idea what I wanted or what to do and I've never felt more beautiful in my whole life thanks to them.

Lots of shimmer with an undertone of color depending on which shade you choose. Definitely a favorite cosmetics line, and it is Salem-based, so yay!

I've noticed the above excellent staff with energy to sell beauty products to you, cleanliness & all round women energy vibe is completely gone. The staff now is beyond rude, abrasive & doesn't belong there b/c the girl at front desk clearly Hates her job! The floors are filthy w/old torn up old commercial grade rugs & an area of floor that's been covered up w/a blanket from a dirty pawn shop that's been there for over a year! Boxes of products that appear to be going on a shelf ... someday. I recommend a different beauty supply store if possible because Middleton location needs someone to ...as they say in the business world "CLEAN HOUSE"...top to bottom

I walked into this location a while back because I didn't know about company and I was in area. The manager there is without the rudest person I've ever encountered walking into a salon. Not sure why she was did she think I didn't have the money to go there . I actually go to a dermatologist for my skincare , which is more expensive . She just had a nasty demeanor about her while talking Not what I've ever experienced walking into a salon . Salons are happy places where you go to feel good and look good . Usually it's absolute opposite ! So no I will never go into this location if I just wanted a quick facial .
