I've been going to Dee for over 5 years now -- even back before he opened his own salon -- and there's a reason I've stayed this loyal. I usually go to him for both my haircuts and balayage, and every single time I leave loving how my hair turns out. His skills are truly top tier compared to other stylists on the island. I tried several hair stylists around Oahu before finding him, and none of them compared. Dee is incredibly talented, but what I appreciate most is his honesty. He'll always tell you what will actually look best for you rather than just doing something trendy that may not suit you. His salon is also absolutely adorable. The space has beautiful pink décor with gold accents that gives it such a warm, stylish vibe (definitely feels like his wife's aesthetic!). Both Dee and his wife are so sweet and welcoming, and their energy makes you feel like more than just a client -- it makes you want to keep coming back long-term. For anyone trying to find the salon: it's located on the 10th floor of the Ala Moana Center office building. The entrance is directly across from Genki Sushi inside the mall, which makes it really easy to locate once you know where to go. Most importantly, I trust Dee completely with my hair. That's why I don't go to any other hair artists or stylists on Oahu. He genuinely cares about his clients and about the quality of his work. He takes pride in his art and never wants you to leave disappointed. On top of that, he's a great conversationalist -- and I say that as someone who is naturally pretty introverted. Every appointment feels like catching up with a friend. Dee is also someone who carries a lot of wisdom, and seeing him always feels like a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your hair, Dee is it. read more

I had an event I needed to attend and called the salon to set up a consultation. They scheduled me promptly and I was able to see Kelly.

A big thank you to Kelly for being a kind and knowledgeable stylist. She took excellent care of me and I will be seeing her again. read more

I've been going to Dee for years, before he opened Salon Allure, and he is, without question, one of the best stylists I've ever had work on my hair! I've had my hair done in different parts of the world, and nothing compares to the level of skill, consistency, and care that Dee and Yoyo provide. Dee has an incredible eye for detail and truly listens- he understands exactly what you want while also guiding you toward what will look best. Every visit feels personalized, and the results are always on point. Yoyo is just as wonderful- beautiful, warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She creates an atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. What really sets them apart is the experience. It's not rushed or impersonal - they take the time to make sure you feel taken care of. I've tried several salons in Honolulu, including high-end ones, and none have matched the level of attention and service I've received here. If you want a stylist who delivers consistent, personalized and incredible results and a salon that truly values its clients, Salon Allure is the place to go. read more

Absolutely in love with Janet!! I have been going to her for the past 5 years, and I would never go anywhere else now! The salon is super cute, clean, and comfortable, and the team is always so nice and welcoming. Janet has done everything from balayage and cuts, to deep conditioning and Brazilian blowouts for me! My hair always feels so soft and healthy when I leave. 100% recommend! read more

Even after moving to Las Vegas, I still would come back to Hawaii for work and would make it a point to see Dee at least once a year to get my hair cut and colored. A best friend referred me to Dee. She always has great hair and I knew she doesn't just trust anyone to do her hair, so I knew I would be in good hands. I have seen Dee for at least 4 years and he has consistently done a great job. Because I get balayage coloring, it is an all-day appointment (~8 hours to cut, color, and style), so it is a good thing that Dee and his wife are amazing at talking while working. One of the reasons why I go to Dee is because he not only does a great job with my hair, but he also tells me what to do for upkeep with the hair including what shampoos and conditioner to use. The ambiance of Salon Allure is very chic and high class. I love the pink decor with the gold accents. While it is an all-day process, Dee is worth the time and money. read more

Salon Allure - Blue balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been going to Dee for the past 9 years, and I truly can't recommend him and his salon enough. The level of consistency, professionalism, and care I've experienced over nearly a decade is unmatched. The salon and it's stylists are always warm, welcoming, attentive, and thoughtful, making every appointment feel like a personalized experience. I've had the pleasure of having both Dee and Yoyo work on my hair, and both stylists individually are amazing so you truly can't go wrong coming to Salon Allure. Their skills are top tier; whether it's a simple trim, balayage, universal color, color correction, or just an overall makeover, they always deliver exactly what I envision (and sometimes even better!). The pricing is incredibly fair for the level of expertise and quality you're getting. One of the things I value most is the exceptional customer service. On the very rare occasions when I wasn't completely satisfied with the initial result, they handled it with nothing but professionalism and respect. There's never any ego or defensiveness, just a genuine desire to make things right. They always go above and beyond to ensure I leave happy, and I truly appreciate how easy and comfortable they make the process. That kind of care and dedication is hard to find and is a big reason why I've stayed a loyal client for so many years. If you're looking for a stylist who really knows their craft, takes pride in their work, and treats clients with respect and care, this is the salon for you. I literally do not trust my hair with anyone else! read more

My favorite salon on the island! The owners are as skillful in their craft as they are stylish. They take care in making sure you look and feel your best with your haircut or any other styling services you might need. This is my go to for premium haircuts and also I've recently started to experiment with perms. They made me feel comfortable in exploring new styles. Highly recommend Dee and Yoyo! read more

Hair is looking super good and the color holds for a good time. Kelly is super nice and fed me food.

Dee is amazing--I've been going to him for over six years, and no other salon on the island compares. He takes his time to protect your hair, and his meticulous, seasoned technique always delivers. He's thoughtful, consistently offering drinks and snacks, and it's a joy to see him and his wife--they're hilarious and make every visit a good time. I wouldn't trust my hair with anyone else and recommend him to all my friends. Bonus: the salon is kid-friendly, with a playroom full of toys so you can unwind while your little ones stay entertained. You can also score a great deal on Olaplex here--another reason I keep coming back. read more

My go to hair person is Janet! I requested to do pink balayage and girl she delivered! I've never done pink in my life and she chose the most pretty color pink that suits me. She knew that money pieces would frame my face and I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair whenever I go out. If I could recommend anyone to do hair it would be Janet! Update: I've gone back to her three times already and plan to continue getting my hair done by her. read more

Salon Allure - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I had such a great experience at this salon. Kelly was my hairdresser and she did an absolutely amazing job with my highlights. They look so natural and blended so beautifully into my hair. It's exactly what I was hoping for, and I've already gotten a ton of compliments from friends and even strangers. What really stood out to me, though, was how kind and accommodating Kelly was. After I got home, I realized I wanted to go a bit shorter with the layers. I reached out, and she had no problem letting me come back in to make the adjustment. She made the whole process feel really easy and made sure I was completely happy with the final look. You can tell she really cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone skilled, professional, and just genuinely lovely to work with. read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Janet at Salon Allure for a couple years now. Every time I come in, the vibe is super chill--the salon is always clean, welcoming, peaceful and you can tell everyone there really cares about what they do. Oh, and they offered me a a super yummy complimentary coffee last time I was there! I'm typically not one to know exactly the hair cut and style I want, but Janet makes it easy--she listens, pays attention to the details, and somehow makes sure I leave looking better than I expected. On top of that, she's just a great person to sit and chat with while getting a cut! If you're looking for a place that's professional but still friendly and inviting, definitely go see Janet. She's the best! read more

Kelly is an absolute magician with perms on thin highlighted hair. For decades I've been getting Air Neutralized perms once or twice a year in which I skip the neutralizer and keep the rods in for 24 hours, then no styling or washing for 2-3 days so the bonds are stronger. She has both the latest equipment and impressive skills for wrapping the thinnest layers, so mesmerizing! Curl lasts! Best results, like a dream come trueI'm so happy to have volume and waves and my hair feels amazing! Thank you Kelly, most fun in ages! read more

I felt listened to, cared for, and completely transformed. If you're looking for a place that delivers both incredible results and a beautiful experience, this is it. Highly recommend! read more

Kelly is an absolute magician when it comes to hair. I have been seeing her for a good two years I feel. When you find someone who knows what they're doing and who makes every chair session absolutely amazing, I just knew I had to follow her. I would honestly follow her to any place on the island, she is worth it and she is worth any drive to be able to get my hair done by her. I always leave feeling and looking like a million bucks. She's the sweetest and it feels like I've known her forever. She can cut, color, style and you will leave her chair feeling like you want to come back over and over again. Salon Allure is conveniently located near the Ala Moana Mall and there is ample parking. They offer you drinks and snacks and the atmosphere is relaxing. The inside is cute and cozy and not to mention their fire playlist. I sat in that chair and kept reaching for my phone to shazam the songs that were playing to add to my personal playlists. Bottomline, if there is anything that you can take away from my rambling review. Kelly is amazing and I will be going to her for years to come. You should too! read more

Kelly is a hair whisperer and a total rockstar. I followed her to Salon Allure because when you find someone who can actually make sense of hair like mine (we're talking full-on Chia Pet action), you don't let that go. She's super skilled with cuts, color, and perms. Somehow, she gets my hair to behave without a fight--Which is impressive considering the mess she's working with. On top of that, she's got this awesome, quirky personality that makes every appointment fun. Super friendly, always down-to-earth, and just a pleasure to be around. Salon Allure is on the 10th floor of the Ala Moana Building, right next to Ala Moana Shopping Center. There's plenty of parking, which is a huge plus. The space has a strong pink aesthetic, but it's laid-back and welcoming once you're in. You can tell everyone enjoys being there, which definitely adds to the charm. If your hair's been testing your patience and you need someone who knows what they're doing (and makes it fun), go see Kelly. Seriously--you'll be glad you did. You're welcome in advance. read more

Great haircut by Dee on my first visit. Clean, comfortable, and relaxing salon. Highly recommend. Mahalo!

I've been meaning to leave this review forever, my bad...but I've been going to Dee for YEARS (10+ years! omg I feel old...) he is the best and I always love my color and cut. He is the only one that has been able to get my highlights/color (red) not only the way I like it, but to LAST. My mom even started going to him for the last several years now, too, and also loves him! She always raves after and always looks n feels so amazing. I also tell any of my friends who wants to do color of any kind to go to him...no question. So excited for the new salon, too- it's so cute and different from any other on the island- Love it! read more

Kelly did an incredible job and completely rejuvenated my hair! I've been wanting to grow out my hair so I was hesitant to cut it but she is the only person that's ever been able to cut off my split ends/dead hair while maintaining my length. Lovely person and really listened to what I wanted. Also, the atmosphere of the shop is so cute:) read more

Salon Allure is amazing. When you walk into the salon, you're met with the cutest pink décor, which subtly reminds me how important self-love is. Even the simple act of doing your hair can elevate your mood and brighten your day. The hair stations are very modern, featuring large mirrors, adding to the overall chic vibe. I'm so grateful to have been referred to Salon Allure because the quality of their work is absolutely stunning. I've been a loyal customer of Yoyo, who is not only confident but has an incredible eye for what looks good. She's very detail-oriented and takes the extra step to ensure your hairstyle not only looks great but also complements your face shape. What truly makes this place special, though, is Yoyo and Dennis. From day one, I've always felt welcomed and in safe hands. They're such down-to-earth people, running a small, family-owned business, working so hard to get where they are now. I always leave Salon Allure feeling beautiful. I highly recommend this salon and will continue to be a loyal customer. I've been coming to Yoyo since she was hapai (pregnant), and seeing her little one in the salon feels like such a treat. He has the cutest smile, just enjoying life. That's why Salon Allure is more than just about getting your hair done--it's an experience. -Ulu read more

I would not trust anyone else with my hair other than Dee! HE IS THE BALAYAGE GURU. I have been going to Dee for well over 10 years now. I fully trust him to attain my inspiration photos. Dee continually keeps up on the newest techniques and trends so he is very knowledgable and his work is extremely detail oriented, which makes his results top-notch. I always consistently get compliments on my color. Dee is also very fair and will let you know what will, will not or be hard to up-keep. That is why his results are great, because he knows how it will turn out. He is very REALISTIC. Dee recently branched out and opened his new business conveniently located in the Ala Moana Building so parking is easy and plentiful at the shopping center. His creativity comes to life in his trendy chique inspired space. He will offer you complementary water, coffee, beverages, snacks, etc. His work is conducisve to price. It is truly a you get what you pay for. Your paying for years or hard work and training backed by quality results. You might save $50 bucks elesewhere, but then again you might end up paying more than you originally did to come here and have it fixed! read more

Salon Allure - Platnium balayage - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

LOVE MY HAIR-- I'm very particular when it comes to my hair & only get it done when I go to Korea but my hair has been needing some TLC. After some extensive research, I found Janet at Salon Allure. The interior of the store was sooo cute & clean-- everything gave pink and girly vibes i loved it. Janet was so kind & welcoming when I came in and I showed her a reference photo of my desired look and she confidentally told me she can do it. I've been to many "high-end" salons in hawaii and a lot of stylists often tell me "we can try" and as a client, it is not reassuring hearing that so I was very happy throughout the entire process. Everything from the wash/head massage, cut, to styling was very professional and everything I envisioned. Thank you again Janet. Book with her next time you go! read more

I decided to change up my color for Fall and went red! Dee is amazing as always, he was able to not only trim off my fried dead ends (btw you can get fried hair from sun and beach days) and put a mask on to make it so soft and shiny! I wished i took a before picture before we changed it, the whole vibe is so different of my hair and it healthy! I always live coming to see Dee! I trust him for all the advice and how to do my hair. I had blonde highlights from my faded balayage and non color from my scalp. He was able to mix different colors together to get my hair color the same basically! Always enjoy coming to Salon Allure the place is always clean and the chairs are comfy! I can sit in the chair easily for 4 plus hours. The quality and price is so worth it! read more
