I have been going to Joanne at Aviara Salon for almost six years, and I truly wouldn't trust anyone else with my hair. Over the years, she has consistently delivered exceptional results -- from precision cuts to beautiful color that always looks natural and polished. I've tried other salons in the area, and nothing compares to Joanne's skill, professionalism, and attention to detail. She listens carefully, offers thoughtful recommendations, and somehow always knows exactly what will work best for me. I leave her chair feeling confident every single time. If you're looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and genuinely invested in her clients, Joanne is the absolute best. I'm so grateful I found her! read more

Went in for a facial and it was one of the best experiences in my life! It was so relaxing and so peaceful. The woman doing my facial was fantastic. She had a gentle touch and made sure to let me know if a product would tingle or sting and warn me when she was getting whiteheads out of my face that it might hurt. Would definitely go here again. read more

Clean, quiet, expert. True salon experience. Easy parking too. Thoroughly enjoyed Lina's polite manners and expertise.

I get my nails and hair done here. Very nice people with great ambience! I always enjoy getting pampered here!

I called and asked if it'd be possible to get a haircut during my lunch break as I work close by. They were very helpful and squeezed me in same day! I got a wash, cut, and blow dry done by Nicole who was efficient and super easy to get along with. I also got personalized advice from the ladies here about other services and products. Very professional and easy experience overall. Thanks for everything! read more

INCREDIBLE. INCREDIBLE. INCREDIBLE. I haven't had a better experience at a salon before in my entire life. I had NO idea this place even existed and happened to find it through a Google search. I called Aviara wanting to see if they had any availability for a facial. I wasn't expecting them to seeing as though it's Valentine's Day and it was such short notice but I figured I'd give them a call. I called, and they said they would get in touch with their aesthetician and would give me a call within the hour. 10 minutes later, I received a call from the owner saying they could fit me in! Hooray! I arrive and am immediately greeted by Joanne at the front desk. She and I make polite small talk as I fill out the facial form. I realize I'm early for my appointment and ask if I could have my old gel polish removed. The owner says sure, why not! As I'm getting my polish removed the owner and I chat for maybe 10 minutes. She is very polite and friendly! Turns out her daughter goes to school in the district where I teach as well. It's time for my facial! Galina, the aesthetician is so sweet! She explains what she'd be doing for the facial and asks if I'm comfortable and feeling okay. The massage part of the facial was fantastic. I've never been more relaxed. She did this awesome scalp massage which was my favorite. She recommended some products to help my skin which I was very grateful for. I also decided to get a quick pedicure before I left. Such a great pedicure and great color selections. I'm very happy with the results. As I'm getting my pedicure, the owner gives me some little samples of the products that Galina recommended. She's awesome! I can't recommend this place enough! The owner said they recently remodeled the salon as well. I don't know what it looked like before but it is so NEAT AND CLEAN. The color scheme they chose definitely complements the salon - white, grey, dark blue. I think I've found my salon and spa. They have everything - massages, facials, hair, nails, you name it! THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY. read more

Aviara is a wonderful salon with an incredibly talented and friendly staff. The pricing for services is very reasonable and the stylists really take the time to listen to your ideas. I had my hair colored with organic dyes at 9 months pregnant, and I love the result! Aviara offers organic dyes as well as traditional dyes, and I would use the organic dyes even if I wasn't pregnant. The stylists love to talk to you during your service, so it really feels welcoming. I'd recommend Aviara any time of day. A must 'do! ;-) read more

Aviara Salon and Spa is absolutely wonderful. The people who work there are very lovely, and when I've gone to them to get a haircut, they're very gentle and actually listen to what I want done with my hair, unlike the last person I saw for haircuts. The salon has very nice ambience, and is very open. Every haircut I've gotten there has left me feeling relaxed and my hair very soft, which I like. I would definitely recommend this salon to my friends! read more

Simply wonderful! During the month of October I received a voucher from my cancer center for a free wash and blow dry or free manicure. At the time I was going through chemo and couldn't use it. I decided to hold onto it for later. Last week I found this voucher. And now that I'm through with chemo I decided to see if they would still honor it. The man I spoke to on the phone was pleasant and accommodating. He got me in for a manicure right away. I'm still bald so I wouldn't benefit from the wash and blow dry. When I got there, the salon was clean and modern. They were setting up for a private party. The entire staff welcomed me. I opted for a gel manicure and told them I'd pay the difference. The owner even came to make sure I was okay. They offered me coffee, tea, and water. The nail tech was gentle and took her time. My nails look beautiful. Even at 1 week out they still look fresh. I would definitely go back. read more

I was referred to Aviara Salon by a friend and am SO incredibly pleased. The Stylist I see is the Owner and she is fantastic!!!!

The color retains beautifully and the shine is amazing. She matched my natural hair color brilliantly. I would recommend this salon to anyone who wants a fantastic color that lasts & shines! read more

I recently had a mind blowing, skin glowing experience with aesthetician Mary Donahue at Aviara Salon and Spa! The salon staff was very warm and welcoming. The room was relaxing and the product Mary used on my skin still has me glowing a week later! I highly recommend the microderm abrasion treatment to smooth out my acne scarring and larger pores. I am so excited for a Spa so close to home that is affordable yet luxurious!! read more
