Allure Salon Oakland

I really love this salon - Jargie cuts my hair and always does a great job and I get lots of compliments after. Jargie is also super nice and great to talk to - I definitely recommend her!

This was my first time at Allure salon and the owner Jargie was fantastic! She listened to my concerns about my current/dislikes of my hairstyle, I then explained what I wanted to have done in turn, she understood and went to work. She was detailed and I never felt rushed which was refreshing. The aesthetic of the salon was nicely done and had a chic feel as well as open and clean type of space. I will certainly be going back for future cuts with this knowledgable stylist, who's also cool to speak with on top of it all! Thank you J

and a month before my wedding. I asked for no length off, long layers and curtain bangs. I never agreed to the length she said she wanted to cut. I said I do not care that the ends are damaged I will fix that in October when it no longer matters that my length is intact. I just want long layers at this time. She completely disregarded what I said and wanted and did what she wanted to do. She cut more than 4 inches from my hair and argued with me about its original length. As the person whose hair was chopped off, I think I would know how long it initially was. I could get over it if it was super blended and styled very well and like the picture I showed her but it doesn't. This is literally the worst and choppiest haircut I've ever had in my life. I really trusted the other reviews of this place and trusted my stylist to take care of me and listen to what I wanted. At this point it feels personal that she did this to my hair then blamed me after the fact. Truly devastated and do not recommend this place for cuts whatsoever. Don't risk it. Having someone argue with you that the hair is blended is mind blowing. I included a picture of what I asked for vs. what I received and what my hair originally looked like.

I moved to Oakland two years ago, and Tiffany has never disappointed me with her talent for haircuts. This past weekend I also decided to get my hair colored for my wedding by Tiffany, a balayage style. I wanted a light ash color and wasn't sure what was possible because my hair was black. She gave me good advice, even when I wasn't sure what I wanted or know what's the right decisions. She was thoughtful and patient with me. Afterward, it turned out beautiful, but I told Tiffany I wanted to be lighter and to even out the orange due to my hair being black. She had me come in for another session, so she could make it lighter and even. After the second session, she even gave me treatment for my hair to take home. Tiffany is not only a professional, but she's talented at what she does, and she cares about her client's happiness. She's the best hair stylist I have had. Thank you for always giving it your best! Below are photos of Tiffany's work.

Worst hair cut of my life. I wanted layers but to keep the length the same. My hair is now 6 inches shorter with badly done layers and my confidence is completely down the drain.
