Joe and his wife are absolutely phenomenal. As a dude with really bad OCD, i'm extremely picky about my haircuts. So much so, to the point where I used to just get maybe one a year. Then I found these guys. They're the only ones I trust. read more

Joe is an amazing stylist! I show him a pic, and he works his magic! Perfection every time! read more

Cut my mid length hair, SHORT!!! Without even asking me. No really consultation. The style was awful, if that's what you want to call it. Really it didn't even look like a style, just a wacked off haircut. Shampoo wasn't even good, subpar,to say the least I was flabbergasted, to say the least. So, I went out and bought a wigsave your $65, and go somewhere else. read more

I was asked to come early because the client before me canceled. I showed up early and then sat in the waiting area for at least 15 minutes for the guy to do whatever he was doing in the back room. I told him what I wanted to do and showed him the picture of the color I was looking for. He asked if I wanted a haircut as well and I explicitly told him no. I was there for at least 5 hours and walked out with nothing even close to what I discussed with him. When I was checking out he ruminated in his head how much I owed him, I was charged $65 for a haircut, I told him explicitly I wasn't looking to get a haircut and he didn't do a haircut, he fumbled around in the back of my hair doing some "technique" he created, I had only asked for him to thin my hair out and if I knew I was going to get charged for a haircut I would have gone home and done it myself. His technique basically wound up creating a shelf on the back of my head. I had to go someplace else to get it fixed... I was warned about this place but didn't heed those warnings. Please, for the sake of God, steer clear of this train wreck. You can read many of my reviews and I am, unfortunately, extremely honest. Most of them are positive but every once in awhile I end up in a shithole but this time the hole was huge . For the record I'm not a disgruntled customer, I am extremely disheartened by their gas lighting, think charging me $65 for a few Snips of the back of my hair, and there overall attitude when I questioned the fee. read more

NEW LOCATION IN BROWNSBURG: Took my teenage daughter for balayage color service. The cost for the process was $197--which seems high (though she has a TON of thick, curly hair, so this is probably spot-on). Anyway, the ends were supposed to be blond, but her hair turned quite orange. They gave us a courtesy call to check on our satisfaction, and I let them know about the color concern. Not a problem! They got us right back in, corrected the color, and didn't charge anything extra. Turned out great! My daughter is delighted with her hair, and we'll definitely be back! The staff is exceptionally kind and service-oriented, and the salon is really lovely. We felt we were in excellent hands with our stylist, Kirsten, and also the salon managers who were present the entire time. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this place to others! read more

You're going to get a good haircut here. You'll get excellent color. You'll get great advice on what products to use to maintain your style. Just don't get too attached to your hairstylist, because they seem to have a crazy high turnover there. Looking at their website, I was pleased to see that AJ is still there - she's fantastic! read more

Avant Gard - from www.avantgardrocks.com - Hair Salons Near Me - Brownsburg, Indiana

I have never in my life had so many compliments - including from complete strangers - on my hair until I started going to Avant Gard!!! My hair is back to being healthy again, thanks to Brittany Everyone there is amazing. read more

I have been going to Avant Gard for several years and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. AJ and Brooke are both absolute experts regardless of your hair texture, length, or your personal style. I recently returned from two years living in Paris, France, and found it impossible to find anyone there who could do anything matching the quality of the work I was accustomed to from AJ. Avant Gard is a classy, professional salon that takes care of their customers and knows how to give phenomenal cuts and colors. I have sent many of my friends there - two of them with massive curly hair - and everyone has left simply amazed at what these girls could get their hair to do. If I had endless amounts of money I would fly AJ out to Paris to do my hair for me! No one compares! read more

I have been going to Avant Gard for 7 years on and off. I moved to Avon my senior year in high school with 2 months left to go until graduation. I went to Avant Gard because of the "hype" as Kami L. puts it... I was pleasantly surprised. I grew up in Anaheim, California and out there you can get an AMAZING hair cut, color, and style for under $100, but when I moved here I was thoroughly surprised to see how expensive everything was! Brenda did my cut, color, and style and she did a great job! Again, like Kami L. said, it isn't super fantastic out of this world (mostly because of the price), but it was a wonderful, friendly experience. The service is 2nd to none. Brenda is a wonderful Color Artist as well as an amazing Hair Artist. After living here for a year and attending IUPUI I moved back to California for 6 years for college. I came back due to a job offer and the same people were still working there minus junior stylists. Brenda was/still is a wonderful Artist. Only downside is it is quite expensive. I would recommend this anyone looking for a good hair cut and wonderful service experience. read more

I absolutely loved every single thing about my experience at Avant Gard! I have never in all my years received so many compliments on my hair. The personal attention, the concern for my wishes, the cut, the highlights, the color; I have nothing but praise and thanks foe these wonderful people. Joe Settle, Shaun Settle and Slayde Settle will provide you with an outstanding experience. Love! read more

This was the most hyped salon in Indy for a while. I don't get it. My services were fine, but not so outstanding that I would really recommend them if someone was like, what's the best salon in the Indy area? Not that upscale of an atmosphere, but with prices more befitting a salon far nicer. Not to mention their pricing structure is confusing, with 4 different pricing tiers, including one for a Jr. Senior Designer - no, not one or the other - both. They do have a nice selection of hard-to-find products, though. read more

Disappointed with the color of the balayage, came out kind of bright yellow when I wanted an ashy blonde color.

I love this place! The students are professional and the sulfate free products are amazing. I have curly hair and it's always hard to find someone who can cut it properly and my girl did a great job the first time. I will definitely go back! read more

Shaun is the best around!!!! I've been to many and she is the only one around that can do my fine blonde hair beautifully!!! She uses the best products and is so knowledgeable and caring and top of her game! And it doesn't hurt that she's one of the kindest souls as well! So so glad I found her!!! read more

I LOVE my stylist, Blythe. I moved to Brownsburg from Bloomington, IN. I had trouble finding someone who could do a good job on my hair. I was always overcharged, ended up with horrible color, or the staff and stylists were rude, or ALL THREE!!! This salon has wonderful stylists AND staff. If you are worried about price, it's worth it! read more

This is the most un Christian unprofessional dirty salon I have ever been too, the owner is rude and has zero customer focus, or professionalism, if you want bad hair and bad service this is the place for you. read more

Awesome experience with Cassie!!!!! I will never go anywhere else. She rocked my color and cut. Not only was the hair a perfect 10 but you know when you walk out and the first thing you wanna do is restyle it? First time in my life I didn't have to. AND her personality was fun but not annoying. Favorite part is the wash though always with the head massage. Great prices too. read more

Worst haircut I have ever gotten. When she was done styling it, I pointed out that it looked longer on one side than the other. After much convincing, she promised it was just because it was straighter on one side causing it to appear longer. Well after I washed it the first time, it was apparent that my hair was definitely longer on one side, nearly 3/4". And after I had dried it, I also realized that when she "thinned" my hair, she took huge chunks out that left very noticeable holes in my hair. I have had my hair thinned many times before, but never the way she did it. I know there are special scissors for that, and that's NOT what she used. read more
