Elizaveta at Allure 101 salon is an amazing master, she is not aggressive in her approach, she will not sacrifice the health of your hair just to be able to take a pretty picture for her portfolio. Everyone leaves hair salons pretty after a fresh color and a blowout, what matters is how our hair looks and feels like days and weeks later. My hair is very fine, needs continuous checking as it is very easy to get over processed and irreversibly burnt, and unfortunately that is exactly what happened at another salon, my waist-long hair was ruined and all of it had to be cut, all of it. With Elizaveta's help, my hair is growing out, blond like I like it but it is healthy, not overprocessed, not burnt, my hair is soft, no split ends, no breakage. Elizaveta dedicates her time only to me when I visit her, she has no one else to split her time and attention between, she constantly checks on my hair to ensure it processes evenly, literally stands over me 100% of the time and opens foils nonstop, taking some off and rinsing off the chemicals to stop the process but leaving other foils on for an even color. It is just the way that my hair needs, she figured it out, and God knows she is patient with me. I have been going to Elizaveta for 2 full years now, gave it a long time before writing the review, the time has come, all of my old burnt hair has been cut, all my hair now is the new growth under Elizaveta's careful watch. Did I mention she is just a doll too? Such a great person, when I visit her, time flies. I wish she let me visit her more often but she will not touch my hair until it recovers from our previous treatment, it could be 3 months or could be 6, she will absolutely not let me do anything if she thinks my hair wouldn't yet withhold additional treatment. Thank you so much Elizaveta for caring this much.
