What People Are Saying About Allure Day Spa & Hair Design

Featured Review

The Scene – Tucked away underground, this spa feels like a light and airy retreat from the bustle above. The staff is pampering but not intrusive, and the emphasis is on good treatment more than funky attitude. Nevertheless, the clientele includes a fair number of models, who flock for Martha's eyebrow ministrations or the superb facials from Ela Molczan, Allure's owner. Clean and cheerful, it's the perfect place to touch yourself up for the rest of the week. – – The Services – Allure really does do it all, top to bottom, from hairstyling to pedicures. Specialties…

My Wife Made Me Go Here

by Lucky120

I'm not into spas. Not into manicures. Not into fancy haircuts. So, I was forced into a Valentine's Day couples massage. It wasn't half bad. I'm not crazy about going to these places as you can tell, but seriously, I'll do this again, and it won't take my wife to drag me along. My massage kept me going all week. Now I see why they recommend it once a week. Work was so much easier!

I left feeling beautiful!

by SF Girl

I went for a mani-pedi and shampoo and blow-dry. The women at the spa greeted me warmly and took very good care of me. The manicurist Lily was gentle and took her time. The results were beautiful and lasted. Fenny styled my hair better than I've ever had it done! She really knows how to work the brush and drier. I went to a wedding that evening and received so many compliments on my hair, people told me I looked glamorous and younger. I plan on returning next time I'm in NYC!

Fenny is my favorite!

by flikchik425

I've been an Allure customer for some time now, usually for waxings. The last few years I've been having my hair cut and colored at Allure. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Fenny...and I've been coming back time and time again. Not only is she talented and experienced at cutting hair....she also colors my hair beautifully...and she makes me feel like family when I'm there.

Mommy to be pregnancy package

by anetted

i received a gift from my husband for the mommy to be pregnancy package which included a 1hr pregnancy massage, facial spa mani and pedi, and lunch. Might i say i had such a great time. the prenatal massage was the best i've ever had.. i had went to couple other places before to get massages because being pregnant is no joke and they just weren't that because at other places maybe because they were just scared to hurt me or just never really give a prego woman a massage before.. anyways at allure they new exactly what they were doing. everyone who took care of me were just so humble and down to earth you just new that they were going to do the best they could for you.. nowadays in new york that's hard to find.. other places just want your money and usually rush you out to get to the next client but not allure.. thank god for such a place..i also want thank my husband for introducing me to such a place thanks jason my love not only i'm i happy but so is our son for such a relaxing day the facial was great although my face was a bit red but hey thats what facials do to your face...the products i also brought helped out my face a lot because i used to break out a lot and now i don't so anyone looking for good face products allure day spa is the place to go. my mani and pedi also was amazing what else can i say.. i have nothing bad to say about the place after i give birth my husband and i will be going back to enjoy the couple package.. people all i have to say is that you are missing out in such a great place... stop by and give it a visit!!!

Love my Hair Color !!!

by elizabethko24

Just few blocks from Bloomingdales in the heart of manhattan a salon that is quiet and comfortable. Professional, knowledgeable that is Valery. In this salon there is no waiting, it is all about you and what you want. Valery will do exactly what you ask for Highlights, Color, Haircut, new style. The only hair salon I know that can color hair with natural ingredents no harsh chemicals to ruin your hair. She will take care of whatever you need, listens carefully to what you want and then makes sure you are happy with the results. This is like going to a retreat.She takes the time she needs to do your hair perfectly. They also have full Spa , I'll try massage and facial next time, they look very profecional and friendly.
