Hairdressers, there is another way.
What if a successful career in hair didn’t have to take over your life?
At Allure, we believe you can earn well, keep progressing and have a life outside the salon too.
Why Choose Allure Salon?
You deserve more from your career.
We get it.
You’ve worked hard to become a great hairdresser. But being good at what you do shouldn’t mean giving your whole life to the salon.
Maybe it’s the long hours, constant Saturdays or feeling like you’ve stopped progressing.
Maybe you still love hairdressing, but you know something about where or how you’re working needs to change.
At Allure, we’ve built a different way to have a successful career in hair.
What Makes Allure Different?
When you join Allure, you’re joining a salon that’s been built to give talented hairdressers the opportunity to earn well, keep developing and have a life outside of work.

More Time
Work full time across just 4 days, with 3 days off each week and only 1 Saturday in 8.
Because earning a good living means more when you actually have the time to enjoy it.

We Bring the Clients to the Salon
You don’t need to arrive with a full client base.
Allure has been established in Crawley for 19 years and has built a strong local reputation, with more than 500 five star Google reviews.
We continually invest in advertising, marketing, social media and client retention to bring people through the door and keep them coming back.
You can build a strong column without having to become your own marketing department.
You Can Concentrate on Hairdressing
There’s a lot involved in running a successful salon that our stylists don’t have to take home with them.
We have reception and management support to help with the diary, telephone, enquiries and the day to day running of the salon.
The salon takes care of stock, products, booking systems, payments, payroll, PAYE, pensions, marketing, advertising and the wider business operation.
When you’re with a client, your focus should be on that client and delivering an exceptional service.
Education and Development
We don’t believe your career should stand still.
Education is an ongoing part of working at Allure, whether that means strengthening your core skills, improving consultations, developing your confidence or learning something completely new.
There are opportunities to develop specialist skills in areas including:
Curly hair
Blonding and transformations
Hair extensions
Modern perming
Hair loss solutions
Afro hair care
Education and mentoring
You don’t have to become a manager to progress. Your progression could mean becoming exceptional in a specialist area, increasing your earnings, developing your client base, taking on additional responsibility or eventually helping to educate others.
A Salon That Supports Your Performance
We believe good hairdressers perform at their best when the business around them works properly.
That means structured diaries, strong consultations, clear standards, professional products, ongoing marketing, management support and systems designed to help you build and retain a successful client base.
We’ll support you, but we’ll also expect you to take ownership of your performance, your standards and your development.
A Professional Team Culture
We want Allure to be somewhere people genuinely enjoy working, but we also take our culture seriously.
We expect professionalism, respect, good communication and high standards.
We believe in collaboration rather than competition, supporting the people around you and recognising individual achievement.
Everyone has a part to play in creating the environment they want to work in.
An Established Business Behind You
You’re not expected to run a business within our business.
You don’t need to source your own products, manage stock, process your own payroll, advertise for clients, manage booking software or spend your evenings doing business administration.
That infrastructure already exists.
Allure has spent 19 years building its reputation, client base, systems and brand.
You bring your talent, professionalism and ambition. We provide the environment, opportunities and infrastructure around you to build a career from them.

The Story Behind Allure Salon
Allure has been my life’s work for the past 19 years.
I started as a hairdresser behind the chair, and over the years I’ve learned that building a successful salon takes more than being great at hair. It takes strong systems, continual investment, the right people and a willingness to keep evolving.
I’ve experienced the highs, made mistakes, learned from them and continued to move the business forward. That experience has shaped the salon Allure is today.
I now work on the business rather than behind the chair, which means my job is to make sure Allure works for the people within it. From education and marketing to attracting clients, creating opportunities and building a business where talented hairdressers can have successful, long term careers.
After 19 years, I’m still ambitious about where Allure goes next. And I want people around me who are excited about where their careers could go too.
