    I had a keratin treatment done with Gabriel. I came out of the salon looking like a different person. Before having this treatment done, it would take me over an hour and a half to straighten my hair. After the treatment he did, i barely have to iron it. I am very happy with the results. Gabriel was very picky in doing my hair, which allowed him to do a great job. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. Overall, it is a great salon & I will recommend the salon & gabriel to my friends.

    I came in for the keratin treatment and decided that it wasn't the right thing for the look I wanted. Gabriel recommended I do the Japanese Thermal Straightening so I did. Once he was done, my hair look absolutely amazing! He transformed my wavy/curly frizzy hair into beautifully, straight, shiny, and silky hair with NO DAMAGE! I couldn't believe that that was really my hair. He finished it off by fixing the terrible haircut I had gotten at another salon just a few weeks earlier. I'm so glad that I found Allure Salon and came in with Gabriel. The attention was great, price was fair, and service was impeccable. Will be back soon!‎

    I just got my hair straightened with Carlos, and he did an incredible job. He did the Japanese Silk hair treatment on me, and I am more than happy with the result. My hair is super straight and shiny. Carlos took his time on my hair, and knew exactly what he was doing. I strongly recommend him for this treatment and for anything else!

    I walked in and was welcomed by Pablo. Service was the best! Offered me something to drink, if everything was okay and had snacks in the front the of the salon. My hair was all burnt on the ends and the color was a dull brown. I did my hair with Sandra, and let me say she did an indescribable job. I now have some beautiful highlights. Best part?? She even gave me a FREE Haircutt!!! Yes! A little on the expensive side, but worth every penny! FOR sure!

    If you are looking for the best salon around Miami...look no further! Allure hair salon is the best! I have been living in Miami for the last 9 years and have tried almost every single salon there is around town and was never satisfied until now. Carlos is amazing..he did an excellent job with the Japanese straightening treatment for my hair...no more frizz, no more dull, dry hair. I love it so much I'm planning on having him do the highlights as well sometime next week..I have finally found the best hair care expert and the best salon in town..CARLOS and ALLURE! :)

    I went in to the salon without even having an appointment and they were very friendly and served me right away. I went in with hair about four inches past my shoulders and I was going for a super short hair cut. Carlos was my stylist and he took his time being perfectly meticulous. He only looked at the picture I gave him once which worried me but he nailed the cut to a T! Everyone was very friendly and he made sure to give me a cut that would work on a day to day basis and not just at the salon. I am very satisfied and I would reccomend anybody who is serious about their hair (bc I am verrrryyy picky) to see Carlos at Allure!

    I have been going to Allure hair salon for a number of years. I am a male and I always have Juahime cut my hair. He is really really good. My girlfriend also has him cut her hair and is always really happy (she is really picky too). So trust me, just ask for Juahime, whether male or female, and you will thank me later. Also, I am sure all of the other people are great too, as it is a busy bustling salon, but I have only had first hand experience with Juahime, and I know for a fact you will get a nice haircut with him. Lastly, everyone is really nice and friendly and they treat their customers like kings and queens and the pricing is fair.

    Carlos has been doing my hair for the last 7 years. Now I am moving away, hopefully I can find someone as good as Carlos or I'll have to come back every 2 months to get my hair done. He's the best at cutting hair!

    was looking for a place to get highlights on a Sunday, Allure salon was the only place open that also had availability. Usually that would cause me concern, but the reviews were all great, so I decided to give it a shot. I got highlights from Carlos and he was awesome! Did a wonderful job, for a good price and my hair looks fabulous!

    We have been working with Carlos since we opened the company SO.CAP. ORIGINAL and we could not be happier with the feedback we get from our costumers and students. He knows how to teach and make learning a professional and fun experience.

    I went into Allure Salon after seeing them on Tabatha's Salon Takeover on Bravo and they seemed to be very genuine. Pablo was sooo polite and friendly. I can't believe he is only 22 and the owner! I've had keratin treatments done before, but never like the one I had at Allure by Gabriel (which is a young hottie by the way). He was sooo friendly and straight to the point. I was out of the salon in a decent amount of time (unlike the last few times at my other salon) and my hair looked and felt better than ever. He recommended a sulfate free shampoo and the Moroccan Oil without being pushy which I loved! I look forward to coming back in 3 months for my keratin treatment again by Gabriel.

    I was on Miami for 7 days, I visited Coconut Gorve and recognized a swaky, upbeat attractive hair salon Allure. I am very cautious to walk into a hair salon becuase I have thinning hair but was very curioous to see if I could get some hair extentions in my hair. I met with Carlos who was the owner of the Salon, he assured that he would be discreet and help me in experimenting with my hair extentions. he was kind and comforting and so was the staff Well, to make a long story short my hair came out amazing, I was so pleased and felt like a new woman. it is very important to feel at ease with the person that is doing your hair and that is exactly what I felt like. If you are ever in Cocunut Grove go visit Allure Salon and speak to Carlos, you will NOT regeret it.. What a wonderful experience..I never thought this would make such a positive impact on my life and they way I feel as a woman.. Thank you Allure!! from the bottom of my heart.. Lisa Cotte

    Sandra is fantastic. I told her exactly what I wanted and she did exactly what I said. My hair never looked better and I finally feel like I found a stylist that truly listened and delivered. She is an extremely talented colorist and I highly recommend her to everyone!

    I have real short hair and while I grow it out decided to get some extensions....I went since a friend of mine recommended the place....Well, I have to say that I LOVE IT!!! This will be my new Hair Salon!!! Carlos is a genius with the hair extensions and the fact that everyone there is up to date with the latest techniques is a plus. They are nice people and superb professionals. If you are in the Miami area even on vacation and want to get your hair done....don't waste your time going anywhere else....

    Carlo is a delight to deal with and he genuinely listens to my hair needs. I can stay the same or just go to another style with ease and conviction that he gives me exactly what I need. The attention to detail and perfection are right within his professional reach. The keratin treatments are second to none and the extentions are unbelieveably beautiful and really set to perfection. The atmosphere is just wonderful with everyone ready to take their clientele to BEAUTY HEAVEN. You truly get what you want and what you pay for in this salon. Carlo is the best at what he does and his passion is beyond expectation. An experience anyone wanting to go the extra mile for themselves is just one call away .When Carlo travels I get to meet up with him when he is in town as well. HIGHLY RECOMMED. NANCY MENDOZA

    I walked into the Salon looking for a miracle and I found it. Gabe Suggested a keratin treatment for my dry and frizzy hair, and I decided to go for it. I am truly amazed. I haven't seen my hair so healthy in year. I even washed it a few times since ,and it feels and look incredible. Gabe is an Amazing hair stylist! I highly recommend him!! I have already scheduled my next appointment just for a trim. I totally trust him with my hair even after several bad experiences I have had in other salons. Allure salon has a great ambiance and friendly staff. Other Salons should follow there lead

    I' ve been doing my hair at the same salon and with the same person for three years now... and after issues i needed a place to get my hair done for a wedding... and found this little gem. I walked in scared because i don't trust anybody with my hair. I had wedding on the 13th of February called the 9th or 10th to get an appointment for cut and color for the 12th and easy i got it, then called to get a second appointment for the styling on the 13th in the afternoon. P A B L O was extremely polite and helpful when i called both times. S A N D R A is an amazing stylist. Not only did she do an amazing job on the color and cut. She actually took the time to explain why it was that the color i chose was a good color, but as well she explained the different tones. Then when i went back that saturday i was stoked that i got the same person. While i am sure all the other stylist are amazing... the work they were doing while i was there was pretty good, i got Sandra again for my updo on S... Read more

    I have been going to Allure since Carlos Collazo started there.....around 16 or 17 years ago and I have never ever changed him for anyone else even with all my moves around the country, with one exception (during my time living in NY) but I have been known to wait for over a year while living in Michigan to come down here to have my hair done by him.... That not only tells you I am a loyal customer and also a friend of him but that he is Great at what he does....Not only he is a master at styling your hair, or coloring but you should see him doing his magic with makeup!!! And hair extensions....well...no one like him! He is an accomplished professional and a wonderful person to deal with. The staff is nice, warm, welcome and professional. Once you walk in there you feel at home even if it's your first time....that's is how cool all these people are. If you are new to the area and you are looking for a Hair Salon...look no further and if you happen to be a native of Miami check the... Read more

    I went in to Allure Salon and my hair was a disaster! So many tones, a horrible cut.. I needed help! Sandra Madjdi is an amazing hair stylist who works magic! She understands her clients and connects with them on such a great level. I started explaining to her what I wanted and she already knew what look I was going for! Thanks to this fantastic stylist I have my confidence back and a great new look. I get compliments on a daily basis and people have constantly been asking where I got my hair done. GO TO SANDRA! She's the best hair stylist and I'm so thankful to be one of her clients!

    I once stumbled into Allure on an off day about 6 years ago found my hairstylist Carlos and have never gone to another salon again. I love this place, the people are great and I have such faith in my stylist I have no fear of sitting in the chair and telling him to do whatever he wants. I highly recommend Allure and Carlos in particular for your hair cut and highlighting needs.

    I went to Allure Salon about a year ago with calico cat hair. I tried to hilight my own hair at home and made a mess! I ended up looking like a calico cat!! I went to Allure Salon because my sister goes to see Joy and she loved her. So I went. Joy was the utmost professional she was very sympathetic when I was crying i felt so stupid. She fixed my hair which I though it was going to have to be cut all off and dyed black.Joy got my hair the most beautiful blonde, I never thought that my hair could be that blond without being brassy and my hair was left in optimum condition. I was disappointed when I called to make an appointment and Pablo told me Joy was no longer there and refused to tell me where she went. I am not going to anyone and will do anything to find her. I called every Salon alphabetically and found her at The Beach Club Salon in Sunset Plaza! So if you looking for Joy She is there! If you havent seen her yet I suggest you do she is the greatest with hair and one of the mos... Read more

    don't bother with this salon the tacky decor and loud noisy blaring music and the loud mouth stylist are enough to send a person running. I went to this salon and the stylist turned my hair like 4 different colors from scalp to ends. He didnt want to admit it that he messed my hair up when it was clearly different colors. The music was obnoxiously loud and another stylist all she could talk about was how drunk she got the night before and badmouth the last place she worked. My hair was left a disaster from whatever the guy put on my hair and I was charged for alot of hidden charges. when the bill came up it was over 300 dollars and my hair looked awful. I was charged for a conditioner and a toner and they don't tell you that they itemize every little thing. I felt ripped off. When I called to complain I was told there is no way I was getting my money back and that I need to come back and let someone fix it. There was no way I was steppin foot back into that nightmare my hair is trashed... Read more

    I was recommended by my friend to Irina! She is amazing she sat down with me listened to me and completley understood what I wanted. She gave me tips on how to take the excess oil from my hair and strengthn it. My hair was in bad condition when i went. She gave me a new great shiny color and a beautiful fun haircut. Since I have had a bad experience before i was nervous, but after Irina did my hair I will not let anybody else touch my hair. It was a great experience she turned my thin lifeless hair to beautiful shiny hair with movement. I love my hair now! I highly recommend Irina she will leave you looking beautiful! Thanks Irina

    Ive gone to so many different hair stylists throughout my life and and ive been content but never 100% satisfied. allure salon is the first salon that ive actually walked into and felt as if i was in a higher end salon with extremely professional stylists. The minute you walk in you are almost always greeted by someone asking you if they can help you. I was very fortunate to be greeted by a girl named christina, who happened to be the stylist who made my hair experience a lot better. i came in wanting to do something different to my hair and i wasn't sure if i wanted to keep my highlights and continue to burn and damage my hair, or if i should go back to my original hair color which is brown. ultimately, this is a decision i would make, but christina helped me come to a conclusion. I set up an appointment , and my first appointment was just a hair consultation. she saw my hair and told me that she noticed how damaged it was from the bleach of the highlights and recommended that i shoul...

    I have been going to Allure for more years than I would like to disclose, but thanks to Carlos, no one would ever know, because my haircolor and cuts are always beyond reproach. Conveniently located in Downtown Center Grove, with a parking lot behind (a plus plus plus in this neighborhood), Allure offers the most professional products and services at the best prices in the greater Miami area. Over the years, Carlos has helped me be a brunette, a blonde, and redhead, all to amazing compliments from friends family, and you guessed it, strangers! The best part is that Carlos really knows both me and my hair. When I impulsively wanted to go from blonde to brown in early spring, he suggested the Q8 extenstions which not only gave me depth and volume, but allowed me to go back to blonde when my impulse had been sated. I have long ago moved out of Coconut Grove, but I still always go back to Allure, and not only because Carlos always makes me beautiful, but also because at Allure, you be... Read more

    When I came to Allure salon 2 year ago my hair was in desperate need of care. It was completely damaged and destroyed. I started getting my hair treated with Carlos, he introduced me to Q8 (Japanese treatment) and its the best thing thats ever happened to me; My hair was saved. I do the treatment once a year and I do not have to worry about frizz EVER! My hair has never looked and felt better. I Also get my hair colored and I get compliments everywhere I go. I finally found a good salon where its affordable and the service is awesome.

    I have naturally brown hair but have been processing it blonde for about 3 years. My hair was bleached in the past, damaged and looking orange. I was able to walk into Allure and schedule an appointment for the very next day with IRINA who was awesome. I am very detail oriented and she walked me through step by step what she was going to do to achieve the results that I desired. I took a picture in to her and she is the first stylist in 3 years who provided me with exactly what I was looking for. She was super friendly, easy to talk to and best of all - made my hair look awesome (without using any bleach). I left completely satisfied and will go back for sure.

    Carlos did an amazing job with my Q8 straightening and haircut, I was there for about 4 ½ hours during the process and I was his only client as he dedicated his time just for me which I really liked. The cost for the Q8 was average for this product which also included a haircut, but what was great is that I received an extra 20% off. After 3 days of not washing my hair to keep the product in my hair, when I washed my hair it took 10 minutes to blow out my silky straight hair as opposed to an hour and then 30 minutes of using the flat iron. The only downside of the salon I noticed, is that many clients are having a process preformed on their hair and in the salon for a few hours, I arrived at around 9:45am, there should have been bagels and coffee for clients and assistants should have offered drinks, magazines etc. Regardless Carlos did an amazing job!! I have recommended his services to all of my friends, and have received so many compliments! Thank you!

I am a ''hair junkie''. soo... I bombarded her with questions at conslutation , and she answered all my questions patiently and correctly. SHE PASSED. I decided to do my color,haircut,kertain treatment. WOW! I have ''NEVER EVER EVER'' felt my hair so healthy before. Irina , is the most professional,humble,artist I KNOW!

    I had my haircut today by Irina and left absolutely ecstatic! She sat down with me to go over exactly what I wanted. She gave me suggestions on how to obtain the haircut I had chosen. Tabatha from "Tabatha's Salon Take Over" said that Irina had extraordinary talent and I couldn't agree more! Once my hair was done, it was obvious that she had actually listened. She gave me so many helpful tips on what to eat to strengthen the health of my hair, what shampoos to use and not to use, etc. I left not only feeling absolutely confident and beautiful, but without spending a fortune. If you go to Allure salon, which I do recommend, make your appointment with Irina- she is amazing!!!

    After watching the Tabatha Salon Takeover episode on Allure Salon (which I loved by the way) I was curious to know if perhaps they could help me with a minor makeover...I called and made an appointment with Irina...well let me tell you; Irina definitely delivered. She gave me the best color I have ever had along with a beautiful make-up to compliment the color and style(wow she's also a make-up artist) I've never been happier. I found my new hairdresser/make-up.artist. I definitely recommend Irina.

    6 months ago I decided I wanted to change from my short cropped hair to a longer style...not an easy task with wavy, coarse-textured hair in Miami's humid climate. Irina has helped me reach a point where I can actually see achieving my goal. She's kept my hair looking neat, cool and in good condition during the most awkward transition stage. And she's a skilled colorist - she gets the right shades of blond every time.

    Carlos, the person who does my cut and highlight is amazing! I was nervous to move to a new city and take a chance on a hair place but I love Allure. I have recommended it 4 of my friends and now we all go there regularly. Very friendly people. The place is chic and they really do know what they are doing! I guarantee you will be happy with them because they ask you exactly what you want and do just that. The people who work there are very talented and they are very accommodating about appointment times.

    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...
