Almost a year I've been a monthly regular at Avanti. I absolutely love this place.... I always see George - from long and blonde hi lights to going short black and layered, any style, color and cut has been beyond perfect. I've been to different salons in the past and never received compliments from friends and family the way I do now. Understandably their schedules are full of appointments, the girls and George always are able to work you in during the week to accommodate. During the past year my visits are always the same consistently- arrive and greeted by all with a hello and smile, offered coffee and snacks. I honestly can say every appointment I have I'm seated to start and do not wait. From color to wash, cut to blow. I believe they manage their schedules well and this pleases me to not wait for an appointment. Again I strongly recommend giving Avanti a try. Added bonus is the nice products they always have stocked that I enjoy so much! read more

Kim Savarino is amazing! My first visit with Kim and she knew exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would recommend her to everyone. Very professional and a great experience! read more

I had my hair done here for the second time since the coronavirus outbreak. I am very impressed the way they keep everything clean, sanitized and social distanced. Dawn kept me very safe. The owner and Dawn do a fantastic job of highlighting. I heartily recommend this salon. read more

I will go as far as to say that this was the least satisfying haircut of my life. Last June, I was feeling a bit impulsive, bored with my hair and all swept up in the craze of the Victoria Beckham bob. Coincidentally, this was also around the time that my mother decided she and I didn't spend enough quality time together. Not being one to argue against a free haircut, I allowed her to convince me into going to Avanti with her. I figured, "hey, if she loves the place so much..." No. Wrong. So wrong. At this point I should mention that my mother and I have very different hair types. She has fine, wavy and easily manageable hair. My hair is best described as a mane- curly, poofy and, much like a lion, requires to be tranquilized before it can be brought into contact with human beings. I should have known better, I really should have. In hindsight, I was probably hoping that the stylist would talk me out of the Beckham bob and create something truly flattering for my hair type. Definitely the wrong place to go for a style consultation, much less for some friendly conversation during, what will from now on be referred to as, the procedure. Nary a smile was spared. There is a very slippery slope that starts at detached professionalism, steadily declines into pretension, and further, rudeness. Avanti has successfully managed to snowball down that slope. As if the sleek, modern interior of the salon gives the employees a license for an attitude? Hello? Must I remind you that we're in Staten Island, of all places? When I was called to get my hair washed, the woman all but rolled her eyes when I asked where it was I had to go. Oh, behind that thing, there? I didn't realize that vague hand gestures took so much effort to repeat. The procedure itself took only a short while. The stylist asked me what I wanted, nodded and got to work. With most things, I'm all for a no-frills approach if it gets the job done but this is a woman's HAIR we're talking about. Needless to say, I looked great once I left the salon, however after the first wash it all went to hell. I was left with a short puff-ball that I had to beat into submission daily. Sigh. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because I honestly blame myself for the bad decision. read more

This place is AMAZING for waxing...I must say that Russian lady seriously knows what she's doing. It was quick and painless :) Only draw back is its price which is suuuuuuuper expensive. Never went here for a haircut but my friends have and they love their cuts. read more

I love to come to this place. Always on time, very punctual, exact, sharp and very attentive. Stuff is caring, and always sets the best time For my visits. My hairdresser Valentina is one who makes me hair breathe and enjoy its beauty again . Blonde is hard to keep as every blonde knows. She keeps my hair healthy, stylish and very professional coloring. Recommended to me 2 years ago, I am still willing to see her over and over! read more

I am very disappointed with Valentia.She give haircut to my three boys.The youngest look like I just took buzzer and I did by myself. It was completely joke. During the haircuting she was on the phone..... I respect and admire Jennifer ,Vicky and Lena. My boys will never comeback to Avant again i!!!!!! read more

I got a haircut here and just asked for a trim. The girl totally misunderstood my directions and gave me an uneven bob. She cut HALF the back of my hair off when i asked for no more than an inch off ??? There are some pieces that are three inches long in random places... It's the overcharging for a haircut that will take months to grow out of for me... Horrible job I am disappointed because I have had many good haircuts here before using Stephanie. read more

I've been going to Avanti for many years (if you count the years I went to the Allendale salon that bought it - since 1989). Wonderful staff, excellent quality and reasonable prices keep me (and my mom) coming back year after year. read more

Kseniya hit the nail right on the head when she said they have piss poor rude attitudes. I've used a stylist there since 2004, and man what a BIOTCH!! I hate to go there but her cuts and blow-outs are great for long, thick, curly hair like mine. read more

I should have known going here that I would get pretentious attitudes and fake Staten Island employees. I went in for highlights, assuming that an expensive place like this could be trusted. They threw me to a girl that probably got her Paul Mitchell license down the block about 2 weeks before. A request for touching up roots of highlights meant turning my entire head of hair bleach blonde. It looked fake, trashy, and cheap. I had to really go home, wash it out multiple times, and stare a little longer to realize what a terrible job she did. After calling to complain, I was told to come in free of charge on a night when the original girl Samantha wasn't going to be there...GREAT! I just want to look normal. WELL, surprise to me, the same girl was in, and that is who I was scheduled with. WHAT?!?!? Ruin my hair, and then bring me back for more. Perfect. Well, she attempted to fix it and gave me a snotty attitude the entire time after I was actually nice to her. Never ever again. I don't need to throw money out, look awful, and pay a snotty girl with no brains for services that are not professional. read more

I haven't been here in a while because of the price but I've always enjoyed my experiences here especially with Amy. Every time I wanted to try something new with my hair she would talk me through it to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. She was always professional. If it wasn't so expensive I would still be getting my hair done by her. read more

I have been here several times but the last two visits were horrible. The first time, the lady wanted to get to the next appointment that she didn't cut my hair properly. I came back the next day and got it fixed from George. He wasn't bad but he wasn't very social and just did his job. The second time I went, the lady spent the entire time talking about how bad and dead my hair was. I understand saying it once but no need to continue saying it through your the haircut as well as after!!! The pricing also went up, it's not worth paying that much and getting the attitude from these snobby people. Just because you work in a salon doesn't give you the right to insult people!!! I hope they work on their attitudes! I will be going to Classique Salon from now on! read more

I have been a faithful client of George for years. From cut color or special occasion hair. He is truly the best.. highly recommend!

Love this Salon! I used to go and see Sharon but she left. I am really trying to find her. If anyone can provide me with her last name that will be great! read more

I went to Avanti's because I heard it was supposed to be the best and it was my son's wedding...it was a HORROR! I wanted my hair colored as blonde on blonde, what I got was HORRIBLE and I went to the wedding almost in tears.....my hair had patches and patches of brown hair and when I went to have it combed out in Makeovers, the woman tried as best she could to hide the brown patches...I called Avanti's, spoke to Posha, she told me there was only a 7 day make-over and I had to come at their convenience....I didn't even bother going.....HORRIBLE place, cost me $204. to have my hair ruined! read more

I have been coming to Dawn for years. She always give a great cut and excellent color. I color my hair red which can be tricky but it is always fantastic. read more

I am very hard to please when it comes to hair/highlights. Over the years I have tried tens of hairdressers and after some time was looking for someone who will understand exactly what I need and how I need it... Until a friend of mine recommended Valentina from Avanti Salon. Valentina is a great hairstylist and a great person! I am always looking forward to seeing her cause I not only get great highlights and haircut but also incredible service! Recommend! read more

Just got back from having Katie color my botched at home dye job. She is absolutely AMAZING! I had brass blonde hair that needed to be lightened to ash blonde. She took the time to explain what she was going to do and the results were exactly what I wanted. She's an amazing colorist and I highly recommend her to anything wanting to fix their color or change it. She also suggested where I can get color to touch up my roots myself. Such a plus!! I will definitely be back to have her cut my hair and put in more highlights. Thanks Katie!! read more

Great location and beautiful salon. I highly recommend booking your appointment with Danielle. I myself am a hairdresser, and I get anxious with letting people touch my hair but Danielle did a fantastic job!! Plus she's a sweetheart. read more

I have been getting my hair done by George for over a year now! He is the best! Always recommended by others!!! I love George because he just makes you feel so comfortable. I used to always get nervous when I would get my hair done. George does exactly what I want and I love his suggestions! I got to my appointment early so I decided to get a manicure. I was a little hesitant because I think $11 for a manicure is a lot. But, it was worth very penny! My nails JUST got a tiny chip after an entire week! It is very important to me to always have my nails done and for my nails to last that long amazed me! Lana did an incredible job! I will only get my manicures done at Avanti from now on! Thank you George and Lana! read more

I've been going to this salon for over 10 years. I go to Valentina, she always cuts my hair the way I want it. Vicky waxes my eyebrows I won't let anyone else touch them. read more

I found Jessica on 201's Best of Bergen after my stylist retired to Greece. Until I discovered my former stylist, I never had found anyone that cut my hair so that it always looked good with a minimal amount of work, i.e. the cut was perfect. I really didn't think I would find someone as good as my former stylist, but now after having had Jessica cut my hair for over a year, I have discovered she is better than my former stylist. What prompted me to write this review is that I washed my hair yesterday in my daughter's house and she did not have any conditioner. I let it dry naturally, but it looked very "flat". BUT when I woke up this morning and combed my hair, it looked fabulous! I do have very good hair, but until I found my previous stylist, I was never able to wash my hair without blow drying it and that is why I loved him; but Jessica's cuts allow me to wash and air dry my hair and it even looks better than it ever has. read more

I have going here for 16 years. At first I was going to Valentina but she starting getting lazy about layering so I asked them who they recommend. Well Amy who is only there on weekends has been doing a great job in my hair for 13 years. She knows what I like and has even told me how to handle coloring my hair myself when I asked because I can't afford salon coloring. The price for my long thick hair is $36.00.. When I priced Supercuts and the salon in the mall I was told the same price so to me it is not super expensive as some reviewers said. read more

Nick gives the best hair cut for women, and children too. This guys has magic hands and scissors. My son got his first cut couple of months ago, and he is a happy camper. Nick is a calm dude with an awesome energy! I went to get a cut as well few times. I'm going back! Great service. Than you Nick! read more

You need to know the truth, and here it is, this salon DESTROYED my hair. Not only did they destroy my hair, but they refused to reimburse me for the mistakes they made. I want you to know that I am writing this review to help you and I don't want anyone else to have to experience what I did. Please do yourself a favor and go to a salon that is actually professional in their line of work. I had beautiful long brown hair, but I'd had it my whole life and wanted to try something new and different for a change, something that would make me feel incredibly sexy. So I decided to go blonde. When I called this salon to schedule the appointment I explained to the receptionist on the phone exactly what I wanted and the condition my hair was currently in. So on the day of the appointment I drove the half hour drive to this salon and spoke with the stylist. When I told her what I wanted she said she didn't have enough time to do what I wanted that day and that I would have to reschedule, AFTER I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN THERE?! I actually tried to just be polite and accommodating, so I agreed to reschedule. I also explained to her exactly what I wanted while I was there. I even told her I knew my hair was very dark and that it might take multiple sessions for me to get it as light as I wanted, but that I was okay with that. She said I didn't need multiple sessions though and that she could do it in one. The day she did my hair was one of the worst days of my life, and that is not an exaggeration. I got to the salon when it opened on the day of a snow storm. I was there on time, my stylist was over a half hour late. Then she started the process that would severely damage my hair. In her mind, her only goal was to get me as light as she could as fast as she could. She did not take into consideration the condition of my hair or what the process would do to it. She stripped my hair. These chemicals were left on for such a long time that the damage was irreparable. I had dry damaged over processed bleached hair. And since I'd had some highlights in my hair before she started this process, my roots were darker. So she bleached my roots. They were still darker than the rest of my hair. So she put more bleach on them. They were STILL darker. Then she put the weakest toner on it that she could because she didn't want to make my hair any darker. Finally, she blew it dry and spun me around to face the mirror. The result was scary. I could have been in a horror movie. My hair was yellow with bright orange roots. It was, as my friend said, blonde gone wrong! I thought she would offer to fix this for me or tell me that she didn't have time to finish so I needed to make another appointment to fix it. But they were closing now and she was in a hurry to get me out of there, so she charged me and rushed me out the door. Oh, and when she charged me, she told me the cost was going to be $550. The original estimate she gave me for all of this was $300. Yes, she charged me almost double her estimate. I walked to my car in 3 feet of snow through the parking lot, locked myself in it, and just started crying. I never cry in public, but this was just too much. The experience was actually so traumatic that I had gone into shock and started having an anxiety attack. The next day I called the salon and asked to speak with the manager. Long story short, this went back and forth for a while. I kept trying to get a hold of the manager but she "conveniently" was never there when I called. I said I wanted to meet with her in person about this so I could really explain what happened. The manager finally called me and left me a nasty message telling me she couldn't give me my money back because I didn't give them a chance to fix my hair. I'm sorry, WHAT?! Why would I let the same salon that destroyed my hair even TOUCH it again?! I'm not a moron. I disputed the charges with my credit card company, reopening this case 3 times. Finally though, I just can't do it anymore. I'm so sick of it. I know I deserve my money back because I didn't get what I paid for and have had to spend hundreds of dollars on top of that trying to fix the damage they did to my hair. But I have come to terms with the fact that this salon is greedy and just wants to make as much money as possible. I have accepted the fact that this salon is never going to make things right with me. And that is why I'm writing this review, to make things right. You deserve to know the truth. You deserve to know that this salon is not on the customer's side and could care less about your satisfaction as long as they are getting $$ in their pocket. What's even more is you deserve to know that this salon doesn't care about the quality of their work and is perfectly fine over charging you and letting you walk out with a really bad and poorly done hair job. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

The first time I booked a haircut appointment here, I was shocked when my hair dresser told me she had no time to dry my hair because I didn't make an appointment for that. Since when does a haircut not include a blow dry? And when I said I was upset with that instead of apologizing I was treated rudely like it was my problem not theirs. The staff here is rude and in a rush. And they think a haircut means wash and cut and send you home with a wet head. I do not recommend this salon. read more

This place is overpriced. My hair is thinning due to the cheap chemicals they use. They are also extremely rude.

Great salon! Been going to Valentina for years for highlights, cuts, and updo's. She always does exactly what I want and is a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend the salon, especially Valentina. read more

This place IMO is all hype, I went here several years ago and my hair was fried. Got highlights and lowlights and I just remember my hair breaking off. Also extremely overpriced. read more

This was my first time at Avanti Salon and I was pleasantly pleased. After a year living in Staten Island I still hadn't found a stylist I was happy with, as I get very nervous about getting my hair cut (even for trims!). Diana was recommended to me by a friend and I am so relieved to say that I finally found my stylist! She is very good and layered my hair exactly how I like it. She is also very professional and supportive in offering great suggestions, I would definitely recommend her to anyone. The only issue I had with the salon is that they don't allow you to put a tip on the card. If I am happy with a professional's work, I want to be able to easily leave a tip as my appreciation. Thankfully, I had cash on me but I would like to see this as an option provided for clients and the stylists in the future at this salon. read more

I don't think they are snotty at all. Maybe a little "standoffish", but not snotty. I think the first visit may appear that way, but after that..nice people. read more

Christine Williams is amazing! She is now at Avanti in Ramsey and does a wonderful job. The place is always busy because all the stylists there are great. Christine recently just took me from my summer ombre to a fall ombre and I am in love. The location in Ramsey is great too! read more

Have always loved and admired this salon and the professional staff. Today was different however, I got a fast and sloppy chop job by a long haired blonde with the initial D. She was running behind so she tried to make up the time by rushing through my haircut. She cut my hair and parted it in a way I was not comfortable parting it and said I could fix it myself later but it's cut in such a way that it can't be fixed. It was done and over before I could even say anything. Her comment was that it's quicker this way. She asked me if it had to be blow dried or if it was ok the way it was. When I said I wanted it dried, she gave me a negative reaction but dried it quickly. Before I could get up from the chair she was gone to get the next client. Sadly I will be going elsewhere to get the chop repaired. read more

It was my first time to this salon. Katy did an amaaazing job cutting my hair. I've been to other salons in town and in the area and nobody compares to Katy and Avanti Salon. She was so meticulous in cutting my hair and made sure I was happy every step of the way. I was ready to drive to NYC for a haircut and last minute I decided to make an appointment at Avanti. It was a great decision indeed. 5 stars to Katy and you guys rock!!!! I will recommend to all my friends, people have already stopped me to ask where I got my haircut! read more
