Actual result

I have been bleaching and coloring my own hair for YEARS. I know the damage it does. I know my hair is dry and frizzy and has split ends. That's why I decided to go get a drastic hair cut. I went in with a reference photo in hand, ready for my transformation. Upon entering, there were three people in chairs at various stages of the hair transformation process. Yet only one person actually doing hair. I found this strange that a stylist would spread themself so thin, but I trusted that they were the professional and knew what they could handle. I waited about twenty minutes for a chair to open up (not bad at all). When I sat down, I showed the stylist my reference photo and told her exactly what I wanted. While she was talking to me about it, she kept throwing in little quips about my hair. "It's too dry" "your hair is very damaged" "there's too much going on" etc. I'm used to these kinds of comments, so I kept to myself and didn't say anything about it. When she cut my hair to my shoulders, she asked if I liked the length. I personally thought it could've been cut SLIGHTLY shorter (.5 inch), but I asked my mom for her input. While my mom was talking, the stylist cut her off to give her own input. Mind you, she did this several times throughout the whole endeavor. To me as well. My mom agreed that it could be slightly shorter, but not too much. So the stylist began cutting again. All the while, saying how it wouldn't make that much of a difference and that it should be shorter. (While she was cutting my hair, she was talking about clients that come in with a reference photo, yet they want something slightly different. She said to me, "if you don't want what's in the picture, show me a picture of exactly what you want!" In hindsight, I find this statement very funny and ironic because I did, in fact, come in with a picture of exactly what I wanted and I still didn't get it.) After she trimmed my hair a bit more, she asked if I was happy with the length. My mom and I both agreed that it was good. So the stylist began layering. As she did my layers, I noticed that she was going around the bottom of my hair, taking more length off. I didn't say anything because she kept insisting "I'm not taking length, I'm making layers, okay?" I trusted the process. I trusted her experience. I trusted her. While she was cutting my hair, she also repeatedly stepped away to wash/tone/condition another clients hair, and went over color options and trimmed ANOTHER clients hair. This haircut took almost an hour. By the time she was finished cutting, I was done. My hair was too short and it looked awful. I was visibly upset and she insisted that she style my hair because she wants everyone leaving her salon "feeling beautiful". I didn't want to stay, but I don't do well under pressure and stayed anyways. I thought a cute style might make me like it better. So I let her style it, but as she was styling, she continued cutting??? Taking a chunk of hair here and there.... It was terrifying for me. It was already shorter than I requested and she was taking MORE? By the time it was all over and done with, my hair was about an inch to an inch and a half shorter than I wanted. It's exactly the hairstyle I DIDNT want. Moral of the story: don't go to Avanti Salon if you have your heart set on a specific style. Because the owner will look at what you want, insult you, do the opposite of what you ask for, and forcibly hug you on your way out the door.

Sheena did an amazing job on my hair! This was my first time getting my hair dyed and she made me feel super comfortable and at home. I am very happy with the quality of the service offered here. Definitely coming back.

Nuri does an amazing job. She has gotton me from black to blonde in 2 sessions. She knows her stuff and will make you look amazing and feel so beautiful. Nuri is also warm, sweet , and full of love for all her clients. I absolutely love my hair! The negative comments related to her over booking clients is only because she trys to accommodate everyone, regardless she spends the attention required to perfect your hair! I will be a forever client!

If you are in the West Valley and are looking for not only a reputable hairdresser but an amazing colorist with an incredible heart, you simply must go to Nurie at Avanti Salon. I walked in looking like a hoodrat, she waved her magic wand at me and I left feeling like a million bucks! Highly Recommend

Thank You to Nurie for doing my hair! These are the before and after photos. Have never been more pleased, love her

ThankYou to Nurie for taking the time out of her day to squeeze me in and get my hair done. She NEVER disappoints and she's such an amazing sweet person. She is so talented and knows how to do hair to fit her clients. My family comes to nurie to get their hair done and we all love her so much! She was able to get my hair like this in 1 appointment. these are my before and after photos and my hair is PERFECT!! love her

I've been debating on writing this yelp review... only because I have gone to this salon for almost four years now and thought the stylist was not only my hair stylist but my friend... but friends don't damage, over process and break someone's hair for almost four years. Therefore I think everyone one here should know to stay clear of Sheena's works. I've been going to Sheena for almost four years now and my hair has not got any longer or healthier In the four years I've been going to her. I naturally have dark brown hair and she would always get my hair that beautiful ash blonde. That's why I loved her work. During my years I told sheena I wanted healthy hair, I wanted to stop wearing extensions and I want soft, beautiful hair. We've cut my hair into a bob numerous times to cut off the "dead ends" I even stop using heat, I used all the expensive shampoos and conditioners, heat protectors and even took vitamins..still no progress. Than I finally decided just to stop dying my hair completely. I stop dying my hair four seven months and finally noticed progress. A Couple of weeks ago I went into my friends salons for a deep condition and this is what my hair looked like. This picture is worth a 1,000 words... my hair is broken, and over processed. That picture is FOUR YEARS of Sheena's work. Her excuse was "I did everything I thought was best for your hair"...after seven months my hair finally started growing, and felt much better only, because Sheena was not touching it!! Im so upset Sheena wasn't honest about her process with my hair, she did what I wanted, not what was best for my hair. She kept me in her hair salon for hours leaving product on my hair. I sometimes leave with blister on my scalp because that was the "process" not to mention I would spend all day at this salon, and hundreds of dollars for what? Broken, damage, crap hair...and I know the question is how did I not notice?!!!! I noticed my hair felt bad, I noticed she broke my hair in her chair one time (that was the day I got surprise bangs) and I noticed my hair did not grow for four years. And I also noticed we had to keep on cutting it...Sheena always made excuses, on why my hair didn't grow, like maybe it's my hormones. (I'm 23 years old) ..obviously she didn't care about my hair or our friendship. Sheena only cared about the money...To say the least Sheena F***ked up my hair for four years. I'd also like to say that I was 19 years old when I initially started going to sheena. She was the first "professional" to do my hair. I trusted her opinion and work so much, I changed my birth control when she said my hair was breaking because of my hormones and even took vitamins because she said so...Everything that happened to my hair was because I didn't know better. I'm sad to say I was so naive to trust her professional opinion and can't believe I fell for her manipulation for almost four years. Me putting my trust in people like, Sheena has gotten no where. I'm Very happy to say I found a new stylist that will help fix Sheena's four years of back tracking... I just needed another professional to open up my eyes. Does this photo look like four years of progress? Someone who stopped using heat, bought all the right products and took vitamins?... I'd say HELL NO. Thank god I walked into that other salon for a deep condition, because Sheena would still be messing up my hair for years to come. I was Sheena's "friend" and she did this to my hair, image what she'll do to yours... PLEASE DO NOT GO TO SHEENA! STAY CLEAR OF HER WORK! ... OH, her parents also own the salon, so the chances of you getting her are probably high. Your welcome.

How many ways can I say Nurie was awesome with my hair! Not only did she give me a fantastic hair color but a great cut and great conversation as well! I am now a regular customer for sure!

I chose this salon to call yesterday for a hilite based on reviews onYelp. #1 they fit me in, where no one else would. The rest is a miracle #2 very friendly when I arrived. A mother/daughter team Run the place. I couldn't have been more pleased.I went in looking shaggy and old. Came out looking more updated and with a cut and color that I love!!! I will be back I watched the daughter cut a mans hair like an artist. Amazing Thanks. Cindy

I had a great experience at the Purple Chair. My stylist, Ashley, understood exactly what I wanted,…read morea trim and shape up for my outgrown bob. I'm a snowbird, and was looking for a good place to go for my winter cuts. It was my first time there. I will be back for other cuts with her. She was very friendly and competent.

I had an appt. this morning (Monday) but had an emergency so I called Sunday and left a voicemail…read moreexplaining the situation and that I would not be in but will call to reschedule. Monday I get a phone call maybe 10 minutes into my appointment time and I asked "Did you check your voicemail?" Then I was informed with an attitude that they do not work on Sundays. I am sorry that the universe allows emergencies to occur between Sundays and Mondays. Life happens! Then after I hang up they had the audacity to send me an invoice for $50 that WILL not be paid. Even prior to my 1st appointment I had to "pre-pay" which I have never done, not even at high end salons. I can understand if I was a "repeat offender" but just like attorneys, dentists and doctors there are salons everywhere. What a way to keep your client base!!! I do not even do this if a patient does not show up for an appointment at my office. Again, consider the situation?? They didn't ask about the situation it was all about the money. If a repeat offender of course I get it but things happen in life that take more important precedence than a haircut appointment. So if you are new and want to have to pre-pay for your service before even walking thru the door or EVER have an emergency 24 hours prior to your appointment DO NOT GO HERE-find a better salon!!!!!!!!!!

I started coming to this salon after needing a serious color correction from a different…read more(unrelated) stylist. Not only did Lisa fix what the previous one got wrong, but she gave me the best hair cut and color I've ever had. I've been coming here for some time now and every single time I leave feeling like a million bucks. With little effort, I can tell Lisa what I'm looking for and she puts together a plan and executes it immaculately. I am always blown away by her use of color and the way she cuts my hair. Also - I've never had a blow out as good as I've had when I come to Gemini of Chicago. I've had the privilege of working with a few of her assistants as well and each one is so kind and professional and it's clear they get some excellent training from the owners. The salon is always clean and welcoming. I recommend this place to everyone!

Sydney hooked it up! She was professional, did a great job. The salon had a chill, welcoming…read moreatmosphere, no drama here. I had my consultation w/Minidy, but since she was booked out far, she set me up w/Sydney w/a good recommendation. I received a blonding balayage, long layered cut w/glossing/toner and a conditioning treatment. I asked for ashy tones and Sydney delivered. It was reasonably priced for my long Asian hair. I haven't done my hair in about 2 yrs, so I ended cutting off about 8" from my waistline and I was terrified (on the inside). The results, however, have gotten me compliments from friends/coworkers, and I've worn my hair down for 3 straight days, just 'cause. Going from top buns daily to hair down daily has been wonderfully refreshing. Thanks Sydney! Highly recommend.
