Allure 13 Salon

When I say that colorist Eddie gave me the best blonde highlights of my life I am being 100% honest. I have never had so many comments from friends and colleagues on my haircolor as I have from my most recent color job, and I have to agree myself! Eddie was very attentive to my requests and the final product was astonishing. Ask for him if you want the best hair color of your life! Blondes… run to him!

Jordan is arguably the most talented colorist/​stylist in Manhattan. I have been seeing him for close to two years and will not let anyone else touch my hair. He is kind, genuine, down to earth and he knows what looks good. Whether you would like to maintain your mane or try something new, he is an excellent point of reference. Jordan completely warmed me up to the idea of incorporating highlights into my dark hair and a few years later, I couldn’t be happier. Everyone who goes to him always goes back. It’s truly incredible in a city where people have so many options. He is the absolute best!

Tom did an amazing job on my hair! I wanted to get rid of the copper tones in my brown hair and Tom did a perfect job of blending a natural brown and subtle blonde highlights. The Salon has an extremely warm and invited feel to it and I was provided with first class service. It was difficult selecting a new hair dressed being a new comer to NYC, but I’m extremely happy with my choice. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone! I’ve never come across such a friendly, and caring hair dresser who provides great advice while ensuring that he listens to what you want. A+++ I’ll be back soon!

Tom is GREAT! It was my first time at the salon and was treated like I had been coming for ages. I was immediately welcomed, offered a beverage and coat check while I waited for my turn. Even though the salon was busy, Tom took me right on time. We had a discussion about exactly what I wanted before beginning. I showed him inspirational photos and he in turn showed me photos of past clients who had similar hair to mine. Initially, I was apprehensive about trying a NYC salon unsure of what the atmosphere would be like but was presently surprised as to how down-​to-​earth and friendly the staff was. I left feeling like I had made new friends and loved my hair. I will absolutely come back and will recommend the salon (and Tom) to friends, family and co-​workers!

Tom is the best out there. His whole team is talented, professional and super sweet! If you’re blonde and get highlights, look no further!

After I moved from Kentucky last year it took me awhile to find someone I liked and trusted to do my blonde highlights. After a few initial mishaps, I found Tom at Allure 13 who has been amazing. Although he’s a bit pricier than some of the stylists I initially tried in ny, I really believe that with your hair, you get what you pay for. He usually runs around $ 175 for a partial highlight and lowlight and does enough lowlights that my roots are pretty subtle for 12+ weeks. What I like best though is that I feel he really listens to the client and what she wants– I like my highlights to look natural and buttery and he always delivers.

I’m a fairly new client– and Daniel is one of the best hair colorists I’ve been to. I just give him a description of what I like and he makes it come to life! He is a sweetheart and I will continue to have my hair done by him. Very talented– I recommend him to anyone, especially people who have colored their own hair and needed to get it corrected. He fixed my hair from a dark ugly maroon to a beautiful soft light brown. :)

This is a fantastic salon and Monika is a stellar hairstylist! I loved the results of my cut and Keratin treatment through and through. Monika has been doing awesome color for my mom for years — she is so caring and skilled! All the stylists are sweet and very professional, and the ambiance of the space is delightful — a great experience all around. I definitely recommend Allure 13!

Jordan did an amazing job! I love my new blonde look, it’s what I’ve always wanted but nobody else could pull off. My ends were too dark and didn’t really match the top of my head. He fixed everything that was wrong and made my hair look amazing, I feel great with my new style.

Jordan is a MUST go to!
I have been blonde my entire life, and always struggled to find a stylist that didn’t make my hair look too yellow or orange. I came to Allure 13 Salon to see Jordan at the recommendation of one of my friends and I was SO happy with the results. Jordan did an amazing job and I absolutely love my hair. It is very light/​bright blonde, and still looks natural. I love my color and have gotten so many compliments! I never have to tell him what I want each time I go in now, he always knows how to make it the perfect color.
Also I have struggled with hair cuts since I’ve moved to NYC. My hair is thin and medium length and I have been trying to grow it out forever! Jordan did an amazing job putting layers in my hair to frame my face, yet knew exactly how to trim the length to keep it looking long. He said after a few hair cuts I’d notice my hair looking longer, and I’m already seeing the results. Many of my friends keep commenting on how long my hair looks. I’ve never been this satisfied with a hair cut ever!

Highly Recommend!
Tom is fabulous and his work is top notch! He has been doing my hair for over ten years. He always knows what to do and I always walk out feeling refreshed and beautiful! It took a while to find the right person and I could not imagine having anyone else do my hair.

Tom is kind, smart, and hysterical, but best of all, he wants to make your hair beautiful and healthy, and he is so so skilled at his craft. I cannot say enough about the color work he has done on my hair, just that no one on any other continent has gotten it to look as amazing as he does.
The salon itself is petite but super comfy, you can usually get an appointment without a two week wait, and services are comfortably affordable for such high quality work. I flew from Shanghai to New York to get Tom to do my color — worth every hour on the plane.

I FREAKIN LOVE MY HAIRCUT !! Thanks again Tom — always making me feel like a million bucks !

I have been going to Tom for the last three years. I inherited him from my close friend from college who has been his client for over 10 years and flys back from the West Coast to have him trim her bangs. No joke! I have long blonde hair and until meeting Tom have never really trusted anyone with highlights. I can literally fall asleep in his chair and wake up with amazing hair. Furthermore, he does the highlights and cut in such a way that I only have them done every 3 – 4 months which is incredible and so hard to pull off. Not only is he an amazing stylist but a wonderful person who will entertain you and make you laugh the entire time. I would never go to anyone else.

Tom is fantastic. I walked in on a Friday afternoon and he gave me an appointment for Saturday (next day!). The salon is beautiful, super clean, nice staff, very friendly. He asked a lot of questions to get an idea of what I wanted and also gave me his opinion on what I should do. I’m extremely happy with the result. Price was decent, very worth it.

A true artist and professional.
I have been going to Tom for over 6 years and would never let anyone else touch my hair. Tom is a wonderfully talented stylist who has vision for the unique style that is best for each individual’s face. I consistently get compliments on my hair and it is due to Tom and his talents. My sister and mother now go to Tom and he has worked wonders with their hair making them 2 very happy ladies.
The atmosphere of the salon is warm and welcoming. Whenever I walk in I feel as if I am walking into my friend’s apartment as I am made to feel right at home. Then when I walk out, I feel as if I just left a spa with my spirits lifted and looking great.
I would highly recommend Tom, Monika and Allure 13 as a whole to anyone who cares about their hairstyle.

Highly recommended! Tom did a fabulous job! I went in wanting some natural highlights that will blend in with my brunet hair… And Tom nailed it, it’s perfect! So natural and effortless. He is really and expert with color and balance…
The overall salon is great, everyone is very nice and made sure I’m very comfortable.
Loved it!

Tom is a wonderful stylist. He listened to me, looked at my pictures, and spent time figuring out what I wanted. From there, he suggested somethings based on my hair. He then explained what he was going to do before he did it. I was super nervous because I was getting bangs; however, Tom made me feel comfortable and secure with my decision. He was also super nice and friendly. He knows how to cut curly hair and he gave me a wonderful haircut.
The salon is super low key, but it’s wonderful. It’s clean and has a fun atmosphere. I definitely be going here while I am living in the city.

Very happy to write this review as this was a truly superior experience.
Where to begin?! I called for balayage highlights & a trim, Tom fit me in that evening (yes, a mere few hours from the time that I called!)
The salon itself is super pretty… all reclaimed wood & a beautiful chandelier hanging in the middle. It’s very clean & cool, without trying too hard. The fact that it’s a boutique salon definitely adds to its charm & homeyness, but that is truly created by Tom & Monika who are absolute dolls. They are both talented yet unpretentious. they don’t have that whole «I’m a NYC stylist» ‘tude that is often found in Manhattan. They are both so sweet!
Tom understood exactly what I wanted & then some. I didn’t walk out feeling uncertain or insecure, I walked out feeling confident & happy.
They made me feel like an old friend, I sipped some wine, & my hair looks a-​maz-​ing. What more can a girl ask for? No doubt that I’ll be back, Tom is my new go-​to stylist 110%!

Getting your hair did…
I’ve been going to Monika for over 2 years and she is amazing! In my search for an awesome hair dresser and someone who knew color. Not only is she amazing at color but she’s amazing at blondes!!! (a miracle to find in NYC). She really listens to what you want and she does a good evaluation of what your hair can handle. My highlights always look so natural and they grow out beautifully. I’ve never had a hair dresser do such a good job with color –typically you are forced back in right away because of roots, but this is not the case when you have an expert.
She also does great cuts and trims, she knows how to make the cut flatter your face. I can’t say enough good things –just don’t take up all her time so I can get an apt!
The salon –She just moved into this brand new salon so that’s why the reviews are fresh. It’s very ‘swanky yet boutique’. Beautiflully decorated –a very calm /​bambo /​spa feeling. Tiny but you know you are getting seen right away.
