Allure Hair and Beauty - (Near Tower Hamlets, UK)

5 /5 Ellen Norris: Always have the best hair cuts I’ve ever had here! Daisy is the best - she knew exactly what I wanted and I’m so pleased with how my hair looks. They’re all so accommodating and I always enjoy my experience here.

4 /5 Amena Begum: I had a great experience at this salon. My sister and I had our hair cut by Daisy. She was very welcoming and professional, and cut our hair exactly how we wanted. I will definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to others.

2 /5 Mýa Samra: I just came for a wash and blow dry on my birthday. I was around 15 minutes late and the woman at the reception desk was super friendly and accommodating, I was asked to wait a little while so they could do the next client (because I was late and they had much shorter hair). So both stars are for her. I was offered a treatment masque while I waited for an extra £10, but my hair wasn’t actually washed properly. I think it was someone in training, but she barely touched my scalp and completely avoided the back of my head, then left in a treatment masque for around ten mins. I felt a little like because I’d been late and they’d been accommodating I shouldn’t say anything, but looking back now I definitely should have and that’s my bad. The senior stylist who ended up doing my blow dry was very disrespectful. I was lead away from the wash basin by my head, and forced to crane my neck as she leant on it to turn around and speak to someone else. I showed her a photo of the type of blowout I wanted (it was a picture of my own hair so definitely doable), and met with silence until I asked for an answer as to whether it was possible, then a grunt. The blow dry itself was mostly fine and didn’t take long, but she was hitting and scraping my face with the round brush (sharp!) until I asked her to stop. The result looked ok in the salon lighting, and she gave a bit more volume where I asked. Because of my hair being improperly washed it was simultaneously dry at the ends and sort of oily at the scalp. I can tell I only have today left of the blowout with the help of dry shampoo before I have to wash it out. So it will have lasted from around 7pm last night until this evening. I can usually make a blow out last 3 days. I found out at the end of the appointment, after a sort of miserable experience that the reason for the disrespect was most likely because I was assumed younger than I actually am (aged down in a hoodie and sweatpants) and the senior stylist went on a short rant about the sensitivity of teenagers. I’m 27. Not that it really matters, everyone deserves basic respect, especially if they’re paying for a service. I paid and left and will not return. I booked via treatwell and the reviews were very positive so I really expected more. I wasn’t able to leave a review there as I think it’s email invitation only from the salon.

1 /5 Ruby Begum: had a very disappointing experience at this salon. Daisy did my hair, and unfortunately the overall standard was extremely poor. The salon itself felt unhygienic — the brushes looked worn out and dirty, and the chairs were wobbly, which didn’t feel safe or professional. It became clear why the prices are cheap: you really do pay for what you get. The blow-dry took an unusually long time and was done using clips, yet the final result was flat, frizzy, and lifeless. Despite how long she spent drying my hair, it looked dull and poorly finished. The face-framing was also badly done — it was cut too short and uneven on both sides, which was really upsetting. I came in expecting at least a decent trim and blow-dry, but left feeling genuinely disappointed. Based on how my hair was handled, the service felt inexperienced and unskilled. I would much rather pay extra and go to a professional salon with better hygiene, equipment, and trained stylists. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.
