Since it's been almost a full year since my initial review for Allure, and since I've probably dropped about $600 or more at this local business since then, I think it's about time for an update!
I continue to drive out of my way to go to Allure (specifically Michelle and Rose although I've also trusted Nina, Richie, Lindsay, and Jen when in a bind) for my mani / pedis. I always get compliments on my nails. They are gel on my real nails but oh so much prettier and last oh so much longer than regular manis. I keep them short so I can type, lift weights, etc...
If you're looking for a mani and/or pedi, give Allure a call. And if you need proof before doing so, check out my nails next time you see me :)
