I started going to this salon once I moved to this area and I have never regretted that choice. The people here are friendly and helpful and they go out of their way to make sure that when I schedule an appointment that the time works for me. They even call if there is an opening earlier for the day of my appointment. I get my haircut there but there are other options to do there as well. Joann (the person who does my hair) always has a smile on her face and very talkative too. I enjoy going to this salon and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to go for their beauty needs. read more

Hair cut and color and blow-out........................ Such nice people.........Full service plus Easy parking.

I needed a new hairstylist. Because of the positive reviews, I chose the owner, Jen. She's very nice and professional. The first appointment was a cut and blowdry. She recently colored my hair. We went through the swatches and I told her what I liked. Jen explained what shades she would mix. The color eggplant came out beautiful! I am so happy I found Jen! :) read more

This neighborhood salon has become my happy place since one year ago when I moved to Massachusetts from California. Jeannine is genuinely sweet, dedicated and honest in regards to hair! She does my roots, color, cut and style and she's that good that my 13 year old daughter adores her and wants only her to cut her hair. I'm so grateful I have them very close to home. Everyone is super nice! I'm planning on trying Alan soon for my brows! Price is super reasonable which is very important for me! You won't be disappointed! read more

I was new to this salon today. I called in the morning and they had a cancellation and were able to fit me in. I ended up having two 3 year olds with me. Jennifer and staff were kind and welcoming, the cut was so great (and much needed) I will definitely be back and said three-year-olds would like to get their haircut there. read more

Every time I come here, I end up looking like a goddess, thanks to Tricia's magic. I'm so glad that I took the chance on my neighborhood hair salon, because now she's spoiled me so much I won't be able to go anywhere else for my coiffure needs! I went in for an ombré treatment and Tricia, delivered. She put gradated shades of brown and blonde that were bespoke to me and my skin tone. She also incorporated bits of balayage highlighting throughout, which looks amazing and really brightens up my face. The colors are soft and warm, and I received many compliments on my hair! I was thrilled with the results. I also just came back from a bang trim, and Tricia once again knocked it out of the park. It's incredible what a huge difference a small trim can make, but she did it! I always leave happy after sitting in her chair -- I'm sure you will, too! read more

Allure Hair Studio - The perfect ombré, by Tricia. - Hair Salons Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

I had my first appointment at Allure last week. After having the same hairdresser for 13 years. Jeanine gave me an amazing color, cut and style! And I loved the atmosphere!! Alan gave me the best brow wax/re-shaping ever!! They're full service too! So next time I go, I'm going to make an afternoon of it!! Super reasonably priced! I can't wait to back!!!! read more

Jeanine is wonderful and saved my hair that was damaged/over processed by another salon in the Arlington Heights. Friendly and professional. It is the first time I have loved my hair color in a long time. Thank you, Jeanine! read more

Okay, right away let me say that Allure is a great simple neighborhood salon, very much what you'd expect from a local salon. All except ONE element. In the sea of perfunctory safe and nice, is one maverick- Carolyn Kouyoumjian! Carolyn can do it all, but her specialties are super cool cuts and REDHEADS. Now, I am admittedly allergic to normal and I am a redhead, but I have to highlight Carolyn's exceptional cutting skills, her coloring magic, and her kindness, her overall attitude could be described as "twinkly". She is also not here to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn, if you come in there and want something unattainable whether in the immediate or the permanent she WILL tell you the truth. Hair too fine to wear it down to your navel? She'll tell you. Hair one shade, you want another? She will explain that your ambitions are either too lofty and/or "will require multiple steps" (like mine did after multiple colorists basically dotted my head with a gazillion shades of red, many leaning blue). What however she has a FIRM grasp on, once you discuss what you'd like is how to cut all the "bomb ass cool rock and roll haircuts". She knows the modern variations on these classics but she can cut "the REAL THING." Want a super Keith Richards cum Patti Smith shag? No problem. Want a Mohawk, Mandinka? No problem. Want to walk out with feathered layers dyed blue and pink like Dale Bozzio? DONE! The lady, is a rock and roll anomaly, ensconced in a nice basic salon. So while the salon is cool, it's really Carolyn who gets 5 stars. SHE ROCKS! read more

I went to Allure Hair Studio last week for the first time and I was completely blown away (no pun intended) by Eleanor's level of skill and service. I got a cut, color, partial and blow out. I asked for a darker brown overall base and light-ish brown highlights. The dark brown is exactly what I wanted and the highlights look very natural. I would definitely see Eleanor again for the color/highlights alone but the cut is what I was even more impressed with. It looked fantastic blown out (my naturally curly hair is very fine but Eleanor's blow drying technique made it have volume and bounce!), and I am ecstatic with how it looks curly! I just asked for it to be "cleaned up" but she gave it a slightly different shape which makes such a difference! No more awkward triangle head for me. :) Oh and she is an excellent conversationalist. New favorite stylist, hands down! read more

Joanne is the best.Great cuts, trims and color.

Jen has been my hairdresser for close to twenty years - I've followed her from her days at Command Performance. She is awesome! She listens and strives to create a hairstyle in keeping with my needs and requirements. I'm so very proud of her buying and making her salon work so awesomely! I'll never leave her or her stellar staff! read more

I came in for a last minute color and was lucky to get Jeanine. She did a fantastic job and gave me a fresh, new "ash blonde" look that I love! Alan did a great job on eyebrows, too! Will definitely be back :) read more

I've been coming here for 6 years to get a hair cut and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Jen is the best! I always get a very professional hair cut, and I always have a wonderful time as well. read more

Jennifer has been my hairdresser for several years and I truly appreciate her work. She does a great job! She has fit me into her schedule several times over the years...and makes me feel more like a friend than a client. I cannot recommend her or her staff more. Thanks Jen! read more

OK, I may be a tad biased, because I have known the owner for years. Even though we haven't been in touch for most of them, I was so comfortable there. My sister reminded me of Allure, because my hair stylist had broken his arm a couple months ago. I was able to get an appt. within two hours of calling. Everyone there is very friendly and accommodating. *One problem... How am I going to tell my guy that's been doing my hair since 1998??? I want to continue going to Allure for sure. My next visit is for hair color, which is very exciting but also a little "scary". But I trust Jennifer to do a wonderful job! read more

I got an awesome haircut from Christina today. I know her from when the salon belonged to the previous owners. She remembered me and how I like to wear my hair and gave me exactly the cut I was looking for!! I couldn't be happier!! Although I usually go to another salon because of the distance it's difficult for me to get there as often as I would like to. I'm so glad I have this salon and Christina as an alternative to come to. They are close to where I live and do a wonderful job! read more

So very pleased with this hair salon. Exceptional cuts and color. Today, as I had my hair cut by Jenn (who is an extraordinary colorist and stylist), I witnessed yet another hairdresser finishing up on a most beautiful coloring job. Also, for other beauty needs, Allan does a fantastic job with eyebrows as well as expert make-up application. Convenient location, too! read more

I made an appointment over the phone with Alan who made an exception and got me an immediate appointment with Joanne to wash and blow dry my hair. I had broken my shoulder and was unable to wash my hair for a few days, so I opted for the salon across the street. From the moment that I walked in, I was greeted by Alan and a sweetheart of a young lady named Patricia. The whole experience was wonderful. Loved the obvious dedication to make the client feel like family, and leave feeling refreshed and beautiful. Thanks to all of the staff that day, I would highly recommend this salon. Experienced, kind, professional. Would TOTALLY go back!!! read more

So I'm picky when it comes to hair dressers and was always looking for new salons to go too until I finally found this spot. Kasey is a high school friend of mine and told me to spot by, so I said, sure why not. The first time I came with my cousin Kathy. We had such a pleasant experience. Kasey is such warm-hearted and fun to work with. Kathy got an ombre which came out perfect. Unfortunately for my hair, it's more difficult to dye so when we tried putting color in it, my hair didn't even take. So I had to come back a second time. Second time, Kasey nailed it. I was looking for a honey brown color under my hair and she did just that. I've come back many times since then and we have recently been lightening my hair and I absolutely love it. Kasey is the only hair dresser that I feel comfortable talking too and telling her exactly what I want. I'm also the type of person that is down for anything so I let her play with my hair and put my full trust in her. She also knows that I'm trying to grow my hair so when I say take half an inch off, that's exactly what she does. Where at other hair salons, they decide to do whatever they want and I end up hating the length. As long as Kasey's at Allure Hair Studio, I'll be coming back :) read more

My children and I have been coming here for years. They are professional, approachable and friendly. I recommend Jen and her team highly.

I've been going to Allure hair salon for at least 13 years. I can't say enough good things about it. I go to Jen, who is now the owner. She is warm, friendly and a pleasure to spend time with. She also listens to any ideas or suggestions I may have and tells me honestly what works for my hair, shape of my face etc.... My children have seen other hair stylists and I've been equally pleased. We even came to get my daughters hair done for their Bat Mitzvahs and proms. We also see Alan to have our eyebrows and lips waxed. He is also just a lovely guy who makes you feel comfortable! Lucky to have this place in Arlington Center. read more

I went here for the first time last month when I first moved to Arlington and I was looking for a good hair salon. This was the first place I tried and I absolutely loved my experience there. Patricia did my hair cut and I am looking forward to next appointment. I went in for just a trim and she said layers would look cut with my small face so I let her cut layers and it came out wonderful. My hair is so healthy and feels so soft! read more

Allure was pleasant and obliging of my inquiries over the phone. They scheduled me a prompt appointment. Service was friendly and easy going. They happily accommodated my needs to do a Locks of Love donation and did a fine job on the hair I kept---I wanted a simple, straight cut, and there was no pressure to do anything outside my comfort zone, as some salons are prone to do. I definitely plan to go back when I'm ready to re-do my henna---while it's not something they've ever done before, they seem perfectly willing to assist with whatever is required, so long as I instruct them accordingly on the use of henna as differs from traditional dyes. I'm confident it'll go swimmingly! read more
