Up
Close with Allure
It all began in high school for the ladies of Allure (formerly
a quartet with member Linnie) The girls would perform at high school and
talent events and mesmerize crowds with their vocal talents. Soon after,
word got out about the girls who attracted the likes of Mariah Carey,
who immediately signed them to her Crave Record Label. Allure soon popped
up all over the world in magazines, TV, and on every radio station. What
made them a success was that unlike many other music artists in the media,
these divas can perform live and can really, really, sing in
person. No
gimmicks, no studio tricks, just pure vocal talent.
"The first time i heard Allure perform i fell in love!" states
stylist Ashante.

Afterwards, Allure signed to MCA Records
to release more hits, then later Ron Artests' Truwarier Records. Throughout
their musical journey, the girls have always remained close as friends
through the years to support each other. One of the things that has kept
the girls together is their motto that God is in Charge.
Allures Photo Shoot
with Star Stylist Ashante'
The lovely ladies of Allure spent a day
at The Abode Salon in NYC getting gorgeous for an international magazine
photoshoot with hairstylist Ashante.
"You
girls are going to look fabulous!" Ashante said. "The look to
be achieved today is glamour with an edge." Alia
was first up to be styled. Ashante' whisked away at her hair with shears,
and cut it into soft layers with cheek skimming bangs. He snipped pieces
around her cheeks, eyes, and neckline for a jagged effect.
Afterwards,
an assistant blew out and flat ironed her hair. Alia was ecstatic! "
I love it!" she exclaimed. Next up was Akissa. The
goal was to keep her hair long, but add volume and highlights. Strands
of extension hair boosted the fullness and added a sexy glowing effect
to Akissa's bangs. Long layers were cut into her hair for movement. A
large curling iron was used to bend her
hair into flips and soft waves. "You look gorgeous Akissa!"
shouted Alia. "This is so hot!" says Akissa with excitement.
For
Lalisha, highlights were also added to her hair with extensions.
"This is great because you don't have to color your own hair,"
she says. "I love to change my looks very often, especially my highlight
color. One day you'll see me with reddish highlights, and the next month
it's a golden shade. "It's fun to change up your look!", states
the star. Ashante' extended her length and added golden tips to the ends
of her hair. A few layers were sliced into her hair and an assistant set
Lalisha's hair on rollers. After drying, the rollers were removed and
her tresses were brushed out; leaving loose waves and curls. "Working
with Allure is amazing because they can work many different looks!"
states Ashante'.
