I got my hair braided so I can wear a wig. My hairstylist Kate educated me on how to take care of my hair and was friendly. She was also patient with detangling my hair before blow drying. I am definitely going to be coming back like a boomerang.

This was my very first time visiting Allure Studio. I got knotless braids and I was very pleased with the outcome. Stephanie did an amazing job and she was very gentle with my hair. The shop was clean and tidy. I will definitely be a returning customer ace I would definitely recommend this shop to others.

From my first visit to Allure Studio, I knew I found a keeper. The ambience of the salon, the relaxing vibes, the clean and organized set-up was everything. Not to mention the talented stylist. Shawnta is Boss with her braiding. After my first visit I am a regular customer at Allure Studio/ SB Luxe Experience.
