NOT RECOMMENDED! DO NOT GO HERE!

Although Allure is nice when you walk in, I had a terrible experience with a Brazilian wax, never having felt more uncomfortable in my three years of waxing. The owner handled the situation in the most unprofessional way, including offering me a complimentary service and then later rescinding her offer. I have nothing good to say about the service I received here, and for a spa that is supposed to be top-notch, my experience was very much the opposite. I would never recommend Allure to anyone.

The experience there almost ruined my wedding day! I expected more out of an Aveda salon and was sourly disappointed! At first, I was so excited to go get my hair done and my 5 bridesmaids' hair updos. When I called to make appointments and schedule updos for the day of my wedding, I specifically asked what the cost would be for my 5 bridesmaids' updos. When I got there and was all done with everything, went to pay- my bridal make on, hair updo, veil fastened , bridesmaid's hair all updo'd, and just hours before my wedding, they zap me with a bill that was triple the agreed amount for the hairstyles. I was so upset and with my wedding ceremony 3 hours away, I didn't want to get upset, have my make up run, and get into a fight with them on the day of my wedding. It was a most unpleasant experience and they did notthing to honor what the receptionis said over the phone. It was a horrible experience and they still charged me triple what they said they would. If they want to make it up to me, they can still reimbure mefior the $450 and fifty dollars they over charged me.

I was given a massage as a gift and was a bit skeptical as to how it would compare to what I was used to at Spa's in the mainland. They proved quite the opposite, from the robes to the tea, the whole experience was wonderful. The masseuse was excellent and very attentive. I had a deep tissue massage for 90 minutes, but it seemed to go longer, plus there was a foot bath and foot massage included. I wish I could go more often!

Maja has been my hair stylist for a number of years. When she moved to a different salon (7 years ago), I searched local popular salons and spas for an experience to match what I had become accustomed to, but nothing could compare. I was elated when I found out that Maja opened her salon, and have remained a faithful client ever since. I find Maja to be a gifted, talented, hard-working craftswoman. The staff at Allure at Manoa always makes me feel comfortable each time I walk into the salon. Suzanne, the masseur and beautician, is great! I spoil myself at least once a month to relieve the stress of my busy lifestyle. The staff at Allure understand my hetic work schedule and continually try to accommodate me. My experience with Maja, Suzanne, and the staff has been wonderful, and I continually look forward to my next visit.

ALLURE in Manoa to me is like going into a world of relaxation, wonders and deep connection with the spirit of the islands. Its an enchanting experience, which doesn't only beautify who we are, but also let our souls dance. The staff is very authentic. friendly and personal, the spa clean, tasteful, modern and always inspiring. I have been a customer for years now. I love the european facial with a touch of Paris, I adore the lomi lomis bringing my soul to rest and at the same time awaken my inner being. To have Susanna work on ones body is permitting oneself healing on all levels. When it comes to my hair cuts Maja captures my persona in just a cut! . She is a master ... she has the skill, the eye, the style ... and the honesty to bring out the best in your "look"! Maja has the ability to seeing who I am and what my needs are without my instructions. She is continuously on the edge of fashion & style and an inspiration not only personally but also professionally.
I love this Spa! I am so thankful to have a Spa like Allure in Honolulu. It makes me feel worldly!
If you want to find New York and Europe with Aloha Spirit
