Rei does excellent work. Small place, personalized service, not over the top fancy but nice. What I need is a hairdresser who can assess my hair, listen to my needs and background on how my hair behaves, and do an excellent job. Rei certainly fits the bill for all of that! Reasonable pricing too - in Coral Gables where most salons are outrageously priced. I needed a perm. I have straight fine hair and wanted it wavy/curly. I've been getting them for decades so I know what I want and need, but my prior hairdresser retired. I found out that not many places even do perms without an initial "consultation". I checked around, called some places I did not use, then called Avalon. I confirmed they do perms, got an appointment, and got it done. Hair looks great. I'm certainly going to go back for future perms, cuts and possibly - colors! Highly recommended. read more

Tina is an amazing colorist. I know my hair is difficult to lift and tone and not everyone knows how (or has the patience). Happy with the results each time I go! The color also doesn't orange or go warm after a few washes like I've had happen in the past. Top photo is a few months after my first time with Tina and bottom is a fresh root move up! My hair is naturally charcoal black. You can see her skills still make even a grow out look good! Zero editing on either photo. Highly recommend - she also does my hair faster than anyone I've ever been to. Tina knows her hair! read more

Great hair salon. Highly recommend regardless of stylist. Took both my son and I and we had a great experience.

I went to Avalon for after a "bleach faiL" my hair was a horrible orange & yellow!! All I had wanted was brown hair with buttery highlights. I phoned for an appt and Cristina, who set my appt, was so nice, ASKED ALL THE RIGHT QUESTIONS and patently listened to my hair woes! She told me she was setting me up with Tina as she is the owner and color expert! I absolutely love Tina, she really knows her stuff and miraculously she was able to correct my color to almost perfect! I will be going to Tina from now on! Also let me mention she was so easy, fun and nice to chat with! thanks Avalon Salon & the whole team ! highly recommend 5 stars +++ read more

Simply put....the best salon in Coral Gables! Owned by Rei who is an artist. He works magic and you walk out of the salon feeling rejuvenated and breathtakingly beautiful! The staff at the salon is extremely friendly and welcoming. The feel of the space is chique, and very clean. I just had the new balayage technique done and I am 100% in love. Rei really rocked it! It looks so natural and exactly what I envisioned. He also gave me beautiful hair cut and blow dried it. I am including pics so you can all see. I am very happy with my hair..hands down gorgeous look! read more

Avalon Salon - Hydration results - couldn't be happier with the results - Hair Salons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I went into a Avalon with a disaster to be fixed. Major color correction, needed a trim, and my hair was dry and porous. Rey and Tina evaluated the situation and not only did they fix it, the time I was there I felt taken care of, everyone was had a smile on their face, and they made it feel like a VIP experience for me. I went from blonde with orange roots and burnt white tips, to a cool auburn with blue tips. I can't wait to return and see what we can do next. Also, I saw a couple of longtime friends there and they claimed to have been going there for years, just as most of the clients that were there. Consistency and quality are very important to me, so that means a lot to see that. They also have facials, so that is my next step... if they are as good as the hair care: I'm set with avalon for life! read more

Avalon Salon - My result after my visit at Avalon. - Hair Salons Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Really nice lady, but I wanted to put this review out there for the hair dying. If you have dark hair, be prepared to have stripes after your coloring, even if you request a blended / natural (without stripes). The highlighting has too much contrast, and if you have a lot of hair, they will be very sparse with the products. Also for some reason, they refuse to dye your hair to the roots, making it look like you got your hair dyed 5 weeks ago when you walk out of the salon. I had to get my hair completely redone at another place. Again, really nice lady, but coming out with my hair like a zebra was not worth it for me. read more

Excellent service from Tina! Came in for root touch up, fresh trim and blow dry :) Will come again read more

Tina is amazing. I went in with an unflattering red hair wanting to go back to blonde. She quickly took me to a beautiful color, as I changed my mind mid-process and decided to stay a shade of red. She worked magic! And I didn't lose a thread of hair. I am a bleached blonde underneath. The atmosphere was also fabulous, not pretentious, friendly and inviting. read more

After a couple of bad experiences with hair salons, I'm so glad that I finally found my place in Miami. I visited Avalon with an extreme urge of color correction and Tina received me with a warm welcoming and 100% sure that she could fix my hair without extra damage. Once she analyzed my case, she suggested me the right color for my skin tone and the products I should use at home. Within only 2 hours, I was a completely new person! My confidence was back and my hair not only looks beautiful but super shiny and healthy! I'm so happy with the outcome and to meet Tina who is the sweetest hair stylist I've ever met so far.  You get in Avalon as a client and you go out as a family. I highly recommend it. read more

So I went to Miami for my cousin's wedding and wanted to have my hair and makeup done. I yelped a couple of salons and Avalon caught my eye. Sam answered the phone and was sweet and cheerful about my event from the beginning and very accommodating to my needs. Once there I was greeted by Sam and immediately attended by the staff and then by Julio. Julio is a sweetheart and extremely talented and professional in his work. Plus he is from Puerto Rico and made me feel at home. I received compliments all night on both my hair and makeup. He made me feel pampered and yes, like a movie star. Thank you Julio!!! 100% recommended. read more

Avalon it's a great salon with Ray, knowing and mastering the color I was looking for in organic ammonia free. When my scalp was washed the girl was very delicate ,love how friendly everyone is at the salon Denisse read more

I am absolutely in loveeeee with this place. Other than the fact that they made my hair look gorgeous, everyone was super nice and welcoming. I came in looking a hot mess and left looking awesome! My hair feels super soft and manageable after that hair treatment. Rei's coloring skills are spectacular, he is so knowledgeable. He gave me exactly what I wanted. Tina the owner is such a welcoming person. I have neve felt so attended to at a salon before. The receptionists, hair assistants, are all so professional and friendly. If you want top quality results and amazing customer service I most definitely recommend this place. read more

After too much time, due to covid more than anything, I recently went for Rei to take care of my hair. As always, he understands what I want and I leave feeling brand new. He and his pleasant staff are taking the necessary precautions. He moved to this location less than 2 months ago. Smaller location but conveniently much closer to Coral Way with the same services and attention always provided. Best of luck Avalon at the great, new location! read more

I alsolutely love Avalon. Rei did my hair for 6 years and when I moved away I would still come back just to have him take care of my hair. He has a gift when it comes to cut and color. He really listens to what the client wants and everyone that works there is great. I won't let anyone else touch my hair! read more

I love AVALON!!! I have been doing my hair with Rei for over 15 years!! Not only is he so talented with his scissors, but also with color. Every idea I have ever came up with, he brings it out to the "T", if not better!! I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great new chic look to go see Rei at Avalon. The experience there has always been wonderful..Their staff also are fantastic. The ladies that wash your hair massage it so well it makes me relax :) Thank you so much Rei and Avalon for your professionalism and great hands. Love ya! read more

That's gonna be MY salon in Coral Gables! I just moved here 5 mo. ago and tried other places before that I didn't liked.. Rey is a King! Ge does his best to your look! Annie is a sweet lady to do you manicure/pedicure.. Very experienced!! Michelly at the desk is very attentive.. Try this place.. I loved!! read more

Customer service was superb and the hair cut done by Rei came out excellent. Environment was welcoming and clean. This will be my go to place. read more

I had a rough week and impulsively started calling salons with high ratings on Yelp to see if they had anyone available for a last-minute appointment. As I walked in, I was skeptical that I had someone with open availability on a Saturday working on my hair, but then I learned that Julio just moved to Miami from Puerto Rico and was still building his client base. I sat in the chair and told him to do what he thinks would be best, and I am OBSESSED with my hair!!! It's a totally new look, and people in the salon were saying I look like a different person. The before/after photos are absolutely unbelievable! (Still figuring out how to post them to a review, but I'm working on it.) read more

When I first moved to Miami from California I had a really hard time finding a good colorist who can do blonde hair. I spent 6 months with yellow hair. And then I discovered Avalon Salon. I was lucky to get Ray as my hair stylist and he totally saved my hair. Now it is a beautiful, natural looking shade of pale blonde that I get tons of compliments on. People always ask me if I'm Swedish or Russian. I also love how nice everybody is here, they really care about their clients. I have sent Ray several co-workers and friends because he's so good at what he does. And the prices are reasonable which is a plus. read more

Came to the salon asking for a natural balayage. (Like if i had came from the beach) I had previously dyed my hair green and had a few streaks left. I left the salon with my hair still green and terrible highlights. Not to mention the price was way to high. Never going back and wish i could get my money back. read more

I love this place! Ray is so good and jasmine the receptionist is really nice. Prices are really good! And there's free parking in the back.. I have curly hair and I am growing it out and somehow ray cuts it in this way that just looks so... Good and he doesn't cut too much at all! Highly recommended and I am picky when it comes to hair salons.. read more

I get compliments on my hair color everyday thanks to Tina! Best salon out there. I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my hair done.

Tina is awesome with color! She knew exactly the correct blonde color to match my hues and it's gorgeous. The best color I've had in Miami! Thank you!! read more

Finally found a colorist who can master the intricate nature of red hair and is also a great stylist! Tina takes her time, listens, understands and executes the desired result to perfection. Couldn't be happier and will definitely be a regular! read more

Excellent Salon with expert stylists, colorists, etc. Location is great and the atmosphere is unbeatable!

I have what I call "post-chemo hair." Very thin. Very sparse. Very limp. Very unattractive in my opinion. I went to Avalon Salon and spoke to Tina. She was positive and enthusiastic. "We'll make your hair beautiful." Well, beautiful is a bit of a stretch given what she had to work with -- BUT, the cut looked great and made me happy. My husband has commented on how good it looks several times. Thank you, Tina!! read more

Me and my wife visited this salon to get her hair done. The stylists are fantastic but there was this "goth" looking woman at the front desk that was horrible. She was loud and reeked of pot...she didn't seem to find my wife's appointment even though she had confirmed the day before and after a while she said, "oh yeah...here she is". Maybe a little less pot and a bit more professionalism? read more

I do not recommend this place. I was charged $380 for the one thing I asked her not to do. I now have orange/red hair with golden highlights. I came in with an idea, showed the owner a picture and she said she would do that, once everything was complete she said it would be a process, and now claims material is very expensive so she will charge me another $95 to fix it. I have never been to a place where they charge for their mistakes. It costs less than $5 to fix the color. Overpriced and not trust worthy go elsewhere, I wish I had. read more

I've never seen anyone leave Avalon with a bad cut or color and that's saying quite a bit since I've been going to this salon and these stylists for over a decade. Full disclosure: My aunt is one of the owners. I wouldn't review other than to state, for the record, that the colorists here are spectacular. They've included a "color bar" with more shades possible than ever before. They're busy and many of the clientele are returning, longterm clients who stick to their stylists for the quality of service. read more

Great salon! Ray is awesome with color and his cuts are always perfect. The lady who washes your hair gives you an awesome head massage - I would go just for that! Everyone is very nice, friendly, and welcoming. I moved further away and still go back there to get my hair done. Prices are reasonable (for Miami). read more

This is a gem of a salon. The entire team is so friendly and helpful. I called for a hair cut and they got me right in and made me feel comfortable. Olga did a fabulous hair cut and the owner Ray called me a taxi and gave me lunch suggestions. What great service and value. Excellent hair salon. read more
