For 30 years, we’ve been the salon and boutique downtown Libertyville comes to for color that grows out beautifully, cuts you can actually style at home, facials that feel like a deep exhale, and the awesome gifts you find at o

Always a wonderful experience whether I’m getting my curly cut from Margaret (who is AMAZING at her art) to shopping the store (which has the best quality clothes, the latest trends and greatest selection at very reasonable prices). Their staff is always so friendly as well. The entire place is a place you don’t want to miss!

My first visit to the salon, the boutique and I are already well acquainted. The salon is awesome, I was welcomed warmly, given a tour of the salon area so I felt at home, and my services with Julie were just as fabulous as I would expect from Allure. She’s professional, but so relaxed you feel like you’re chatting over coffee with a friend. So thankful for this fantastic business in our town!

I had my first hydro facial with Julie. I highly recommend treating yourself. You deserve it. Julie is professional, knowledgeable and made you feel very comfortable. My face feels clean and alive Sophie, my stylist, is wonderful. She knows exactly what I need when I get into the chair. Allure salon makes you feel welcome and comfortable, knowing you are in good hands with all their professionals.
