Raquel gave me one of the best manicure I've ever had in my life and Belinda gave my the perfect eyebrow tint and wax. I also unexpectedly broke down in sobs on the eyebrow table, due to a recent family tragedy, and Belinda hugged and consoled me.

I used Avant girl for two of my bridal events this summer and they were great! They came in early since my bridal shower was in the morning and did a great job at communicating about the appointments. Kathleen was AMAZING! She did my makeup for both occasions and my hair for one event and she did my mom’s makeup and hair and it looked beyond stunning!! I showed her inspiration pictures and she truly listened to what I wanted and I loved it! Highly highly recommend using Avant girl!!

i was on the wait list for my appointments since i called sort of last minute. They called me to let me know I wasn’t forgotten they just didn’t have any openings yet. For that i held out hope that they would have an opening and I didn’t look elsewhere. I’m glad i did because i ended up getting an appointment. It wasn’t back to back i had a small gap but i was just so happy they were able to get me in at all I didn’t mind waiting. They had a cute little room with coffee and water. One of the clients was celebrating a bachelorette party and had brought in champagne which they offered me a glass. I guess it was my lucky day! Literally everything about my experience was awesome. From the staff to the other clients. It was the best start to my bday weekend. Dara did my makeup and made me feel like a princess for my birthday party and Gina gave me the prettiest birthday hair. as i was leaving everyone was telling me how beautiful i looked. I swear i had never felt more confident. I’m so happy I found Avantgirl this summer. I already booked my next appointment to make sure i got in. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. I know the summer season is a crazy time of year for businesses on the shore and the ladies up front were very accommodating. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for helping make my birthday such a great day. See you in august!Service: Blowouts

I come to the shore every year for the summers so don’t ask me why it’s taken me so long to make my way into avantgirl but I finally did for the first time on Saturday and I loved it!!! I had a blowout with Gina. My hair is very curly and she blew it out beautifully. As we got to talking she was explaining how the salon has a charity organization called Toast Pink and all the work they do for this organization and I was just so impressed at that point I wouldn’t have cared if my hair came out a mess. Another young girl came over and joined in the conversation and i felt like we were all friends. It was a very welcoming experience. I lost my grandfather to cancer 4 years ago so I felt really good knowing I was supporting a small business who not only supports their community but started their own organization. I live in Philly full time and I will be making Avantgirl my new salon even if it means driving the hour and a half just to get my hair done. I hope everyone finds their way to avantgirl and if you do ask about their charity! It’s truly amazing what these girls do.Also whoever washed my hair, I don’t remember her name, but she was awesome. There’s nothing better than a good hair wash when you’re getting your hair doneService: Blowouts

I booked an appointment here for my engagement shoot for a blowup and makeup. When I called I was quoted $55 for a blowout and $70 for makeup with eyelash application. When I made the appointment I also explained how I wanted my hair wavy/curly. I just looked at my receipt from the salon and they overroad the $55 charge for the blowout and made it $70 for “additional services”. When discussing what I wanted with the hairstylist at no point did she mention the style that I wanted would cost additional (it was a blowdry and and a curling wand). When I checked out the receptionist did not mention that it would be extra for what I wanted. How do you just override a quoted price without notice? Besides that, Dara did my makeup and she was wonderful. Overall I’m disappointed with the lack of communication in pricing and changing the pricing, but Dara was amazing.Service: Blowouts

Avant Girl has been my go-to salon for cut, color and blowout since it opened. I am from north Jersey and was at first skeptical that I could get the same quality salon services in Margate. But I have gotten the same quality — and better — consistently. Jennifer is an exceptional colorist and stylist. I would confidently put her up against anyone from New York. Aria runs a first-class salon.Services: Touch-ups

I had my hair and makeup done here for my engagement pictures this summer. I booked based on location alone, since it was walking distance from my house. When I called to book, the woman I spoke to was friendly and very helpful in finding appointment times that ensured they had enough time to get me done, and I had enough time before my pictures started. The makeup artist was also very sweet, personable, and attentive to the look I wanted. The hairstylists, however, are a different story. They all looked bored and annoyed, and barely interacted or conversed with their clients. It was very off-putting for a career that relies on socialization and customer interaction. I loved my hair and makeup, but the customer service here is lacking.Service: Hairstyling

I couldn't be more dissatisfied leaving this place. 1 month ago I made an appointment for a women's cut (trim and thinning) and blowout. I got there 10 minutes early, and sat in there for over 2 hours. Raquel washed my hair, Terri began to brush and trim my hair, and said that she would thin it out when it was dry. Her next client came in while she was blowing my hair out, she cut, styled, and blew her hair out all while I sat there with a wet head. Eventually Raquel came back to continue blowing my hair out. Once Terri was done with her other client, she came back to continue blowing me out. Then her next client came in and they discussed what Terri would be doing with their hair while still doing mine. She never thinned my hair out and insisted that I didn't need it. I was extremely disappointed leaving the salon and refrained from complaining. So today, 4 weeks later, I needed my hair cut AGAIN because Terri didn't do what I asked her to do the first time. I asked for the same thing, a women's cut (trim and thinning) and a blow out. I had Diane who saw that I have very long hair, and said "you didn't tell them you have very long hair did you." No, I didn't, because I was just there 4 weeks ago. She proceeded to tug on my scalp so hard that my scalp is currently burning (this happened with Terri and Raquel, too). She muttered "oh my god, her hair is so dry and dead I can't even get through it" and even had somebody else come brush the other side of my hair while she was panting brushing out the other side.... She gave me a fine haircut, but didn't thin it out (for the second time) and I left with some of my hair STILL WET. Wow, I'm so disappointed and can't believe I paid for this TWICE. I'll never return and will be warning all of my friends at the Jersey Shore not to spend their money here.
