Salon Allure was founded in January of 2004 by Paula Lecher and Michelle McGough; two best friends who shared a dream of owning an exceptional salon and creating a salon home for like-minded and creative cosmetologists that wanted to succeed, grow, and serve their community.
Salon Allure has since become more than exceptional, it is extraordinary. Through years of hard work, education, and a solid relationship within the community Salon Allure has become the go-to salon for quality service, friends, familiarity, professionalism, and genuine care.
At Salon Allure, we take pride in ourselves, our work, and our guests. We would love for you to come and meet us at one of the many community events we attend, pop in the salon and say hello, or better yet… schedule an appointment with one of us!
