I went in to have my hair dyed. They did not do the required patch test to see if I was allergic to the dye that was being used. Less than twenty four hours later I had weeping, pus filled itchy red bumps. The next day they burst open leaving open leisions on my head. As the days past, the weeping bumps ran down my neck and behind my ears. Within a week I was covered with open pus filled itchy bumps over my entire body. The rash crust over but as soon as I wash my hair the the lesions open up again and the cycle continues. I... read more

Regrettably, this was the worst experience I've ever had in a salon. My stylist did a great job with the color - there is no doubt about that. The interior of the salon is beautiful and Huong is a great colorist. They failed to mention additional charges for services that were quite costly and not nearly worth the service I received. I was expecting ~$100 bill and it was nearly double when I checked out. Highly recommend reconfirming prices upon arrival.

For the BEST haircut ever, ask for Ralph! – Pros - * Best haircut I've ever had! * RALPH ROINA - super friendly and born to cut hair * Took me after hours - I made an appointment late in the day and he stayed for an hour after the shop closed so that he could cut my hair. * My friends are RAVING about my haircut! * Very affordable (compared to what I've been paying for a good haircut) Cons - * I live in Walnut Creek, CA and really can't afford to go to Charleston every 2 months to get my hair cut. But if you are lucky enough... read more

Finally Found The Best Salon! – I have a summer home in Charleston and while shopping on King Street walked into Allure Salon. I was greeted by Jill who told me about all services that Allure had to offer. I just wanted my hair Blown and she introduced me to Ralph. Ralph took the time to discuss how I liked my hair to look. He did a great job and I made another appointment for a haircut. Best cut ever!! I found a wonderful Salon and will be returning to Ralph on a regular basis

Christine Piontek makes my hair happy. – I moved to Charleston in February and knew that I needed a good colorist right away. I asked my makeup artist whom he would use. He looked at my hair, looked at my personal style and then said, "Christine Piontek at Allure". I have not been to anyone else and I don't plan to. Christine "restores my hair to its natural color" regularly. And, when people say, "You color your hair? really?" I just smile. It looks so good and so natural that I shouldn't be writing the world about my color... read more

Christine is amazing!! – My friend and I both went to Christine with over processed blonde hair. She made our hair look amazing and natural. She is an expert at blondes and I would recommend her to anyone who wants natural, beautiful blonde hair! She made not only the color look wonderful but the texture of our hair improved as well. She is very helpful and wants to help you improve your hair. Thanks Christine for saving us!!!

The best my hair has ever looked! Thanks Christine! – This was my first time at allure and I will definately be going back. I saw Christine and told her to do what she wanted to fix my horrible brassy blonde. It turns out that blondes are a specialty of hers and my hair looks amazing! It actually complements my skin tone and looks so natural. Also the cut was precise and fantastic. Allure truly is the color specialist.

Not my favorite color, or cut. – I wasn't very impressed with Allure Salon. My stylist was incredibly personable and the front desk was sweet. But my color faded after 3 weeks and my cut didn't help my thin hair. Even though, I had a groupon, it wasn't worth the money. I wouldn't go back and truly wish I could get a refund.
