So upset with my experience. I drove 1 hour away because the small town I have lived in for 6 years, doesn't have a stylist who can cut my hair.I was placed with a MASTER stylist and from their work you'd think a student did my hair.The stylist didn't explain she'd be doing a scalp massage so it was super awkward at first. She took me to the shampoo bowl and didn't get the back of my head wet when she washed me. When she was done washing the top of my head she left me dripping wet as I walked back to her chair. I continued to sit there dripping wet as she brushed through it. I have a lot of ear piercings and she raked over them. I understand not being used to combing pierced ears but every time she caught an earring, she'd pull, realized it was caught, start back at the top and get caught AGAIN. Once she started cutting it took her an hour to cut my hair. My hair was 2 inches below my jawline. I told her to buzz my hairline because I have a rat tail type of hairline. She refused and used her scissors. The back of my hair looks like she was trying to cut a wave into it. The left side is noticeably shorter than the right side and my hair is cut to my jaw line. Then when it came time for the hand massage, she used WAY too much lotion and then proceeded to add more to my hand and arm. She left me like that. The ring and bracelet I was wearing were gunked up with lotion. I had to wipe my hands on my pants to get my hands dry enough to get my card out to pay.I couldn't tell my hair was this jacked until the next day when I washed and styled it. I'm not driving an hour back to have them fix it because their MASTER stylist couldn't even do it right.

Got my hair done today with Jade and she was just fantastic! Super nice and chatty, did an amazing job on my hair, and helped me figure out how to have healthier hair. Honestly the best experience I’ve had at a salon in a long time. Also Jade does really well with knowing what styles match your face shape and hair type. Highly recommend!!Services: Shampoo & conditioning

My experience at Avant was great, the atmosphere is very professional and relaxing. Jaleesa took the time to listen to what I wanted and truly did an amazing job! I only wish I would’ve came here sooner. 10/10 recommend!!

I went in for a trim and some layers and I’m usually nervous to get my hair cut since I have curly hair but my stylist (Jade) asked me questions and made sure she knew exactly what I was looking for. I made a suggestion for face framing and she advised it wasn’t the best idea since she didn’t want to ruin my curl pattern. She was very kind and had real conversations with me, not the awkward small talk. Great experience!

My experience in Avant was refreshing. From the moment I came in the establishment, smelling like rosemary mint maybe?, well illuminated and open concept, with big windows and balanced decorations, until I left with my super soft and shiny new haircut. It felt as I was going into a luxurious spa rather than to get a hair cut. Shortly after checking with the receptionist, Atlantis (I apologize as I probably misspelled her name), came to greet me with a smile. She patiently listened as I was clumsily trying to describe what more or less I wanted done with my hair. Gentle combing, scalp massage and hair washing followed. It was really relaxing and enjoyable. She cut my hair quick and true. I really liked it! It was really refreshing! Then she dried and combed my hair to finish it with the most beautiful light curls. I was glowing! I found looking forward for my hair to grow so I could get another haircut with Atlantis. Then again, I'm sure I can find another reason to go back to Avant earlier ;)Thank you!Service: Haircut

I have been to Avant downtown a few times now and always have a wonderful, pleasant experience. The stylist helped me get as close to my desired color as possible, and was kind and asked me questions here and there without it being overwhelming or too much like small talk. She did an amazing job on my hair and I always highly recommend Avant for hair needs.Services: Hair treatments

I went for haircuts at Avant for 3 years. 2.5 of those years were with Jaleesa. She is the best hairdresser I've ever had!! I have naturally curly hair. I have always had a hard time finding stylist who can cut and style curly hair, but Jaleesa did an OUTSTANDING job every time! Most of the time after a haircut, I can't even run errands because my hair is styled in such a wild way (curly girls you know!), but with Jaleesa, I always left the salon looking errand ready! My cut was always well done and still looked good even when it started growing out. My grandpa is a barber and always said, a good stylist cuts your hair in a way that it looks good when it grows out, so I took note! She is kind and friendly, and I loved getting to know her. I'm a major introvert, but she always made me feel comfortable. I enjoyed chatting with her over the years. She is sweet and personable. I also really enjoy the atmosphere at the salon. The lighting and aromatherapy is relaxing and the front desk staff was always kind to me. I enjoy the little "rituals" Avant has as an Aveda salon, such as the scalp and hand massages. Jaleesa always offers these and always checked in about what I wanted done with my hair even though I was a regular client who doesn't stray too far from the usual most of the time. I have to move out of state for work, and I am extremely sad to leave behind Jaleesa and the salon. I definitely recommend Jaleesa and Avant especially for my curly girls! Book with Jaleesa if you want an absolutely amazing experience curlies :).

My hair is still damaged from going here over six months ago. I only did two partial balayages and I did a botanical treatment and trim with each one and trims and botanical treatments after for months. I stopped going here last fall and my hair is so damaged still some days I just cry regretting ever going here. Hoping my new stylist can do something I’ve never had this problem until I went here. The last time I went the “master stylist” asked me during a cut who did my hair it was so damaged and I told him I went there, and only there. Before that my hair was buzzed and was all new growth and was thick and healthy and I let it grow to my ears before going to this salon.My hair is absolutely destroyed and I won’t be surprised if I have to cut most of it off and start over after growing it out for two years and it finally being to my shoulders… heartbroken. My hair is so thin and damaged and frail now it makes me feel so insecure about it. The last salon who gave me a balayage I couldn’t even tell it was damaged so I know this is not right. I would go anywhere else.
