She not only got it right, she did it beautifully. My first experience with her was wonderful from start to finish.

I wanted to give 5 stars but I realized when I washed my hair, so much of my hair has been chopped…read moreoff and I paid a lot for this service as I was told to maintain my hair length, it will be $400, but my hair length was not maintained. A lot was chopped. Like an inch or two. If it weren't for that, I would have given 5 stars, but this is a pretty big deal that I was told to keep my hair length, it will be $400 and to chop it off it will be about $300 but my hair was chopped and I still managed to pay $400. Another thing is I didn't like the way my ends were trimmed. Yes the color is very nice though. Sam did my hair and he did a really good job. I want to give 5 stars but I also felt misled simply because a good chunk of my length was lost from this and it was not worth the price paid for. It does not sit well with me. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 4 was because the way my ends were cut were chopped off. They weren't trimmed. They were just chopped off. That'd be okay if I weren't charged $400. $400 charge was to maintain my length, but wasn't. UPDATE: Edited mine to 4 stars because I really do love the color. Sam did an amazing job with my color. Hopefully I can get my ends fixed though! After washing my hair, my color still comes out beautiful. Photo is posted.

I was a bit apprehensive because I've never had anything done to my hair (other than haircuts). But Nancy has amazing skill and the ability to make you feel comfortable the minute you walk in. We talked the entire time, while she skillfully worked away on the back of my head. I didn't even realize how quickly she put the extensions in and an hour later we were done! My hair looks beautiful, and feels just like the real thing. When I walked home, I had a little extra bounce in my step. Now that Nancy splits her time between Boston and Atlanta, she makes great effort to come back every month to service her Boston clients. That is the mark of a stylist who has a true connection to her clients, and truly has a passion for her art. I'm officially a big fan!

Very good business ethic from Jay. ** Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE experience with Avanti this Sunday, July 20th 2025. My sister was getting married on Sunday, an 11:00AM ceremony. We made an appointment with Avanti (Corey specifically) for that morning. After some back and forth on timing we received confirmation that Corey would come in early for the service at 9:00AM. We were quoted a base fee of $150. (confirmation email attached) The morning of the wedding arrives and we take a cab across town to get the bride's hair done. We go up the four flights of stairs and arrive at a locked, dark salon. No one was there. No lights, nothing. We knocked, no one. We pulled up the email and confirmed again that Corey had promised to be here. We emailed them confirming we were waiting and to please get in touch (they never responded to that email - also attached.) We called the number listed and it was an automated message, no way to speak to a real person. The bride is obviously distraught, the ceremony starts in two hours and we have no one to do her hair. We waited around until around 9:30AM and finally couldn't wait any longer. We were beyond grateful to the outstanding salon next door, James Joseph Salon, for their extremely accommodating, empathetic, and beautiful work. They rushed us in the door immediately and had us BOTH walking out 45 minutes later with incredible style, at an unbeatable price. Halfway through my sister getting her hair rescued, we received a call from Avanti asking where we were. I stated that no one showed up, it was unacceptable behavior for ANY day let alone a wedding appointment. She said "Well, we're here now." No apologies, no empathy, nothing. She should be lucky I hung up before saying what I wanted to. DO NOT trust this salon with your time, your credit card information, or your hair - you'd be much better off heading next door to James Joseph Salon. They show up.

I love to research and discover hidden gems and Emily is a true gem. In 2023, I was looking to get…read moreextentions for my wedding. A well known salon near the north end of Boston was recommended to me. To make a long story short. The quality was ok-nothing outstanding. The time it took for the extensions were over 14 hrs and the price was over 5k. But the worst part, I was lied to about many things, particularly, when I would need to get the extentions replaced, I was told 2 months! Refusing to accept that, I started researching and spoke to every salon in mass/nh. When I met with Emily, I knew I found a trustworthy, kind, talented soul. I was grateful for her honesty and knowledge. Every 6 months, I have my 20-24 inch extensions replaced, which is a 5-6 hr appointment, where our conversation are never ending. The cost is much more affordable! The best part is every-time I see Emily it's like catching up with a wonderful friend. I feel lucky to have found her!

I'm not normally one to write a review but my mom and I had such a great experience with Emily that…read moreI really wanted to share it. My mom has had worsening hair thinning for many years. She's not one to be too concerned about what others may think but her hair loss has been leaving her increasingly self conscious lately. She asked for my help and I found Emily. What an amazing person Emily is. From the moment I reached out to her on her website she was kind, knowledgeable and seemingly excited to help us. Based on the pictures I sent her and what I told her about my mom and what she was looking for, she ordered at least 4 wigs and toppers to have in salon for my mom to try at her consultation. She made my mom feel so comfortable. She asked questions to figure out what exactly she was hoping to achieve and was honest and genuine about her professional opinion on the state of her hair and what would work for her. Instead of selling my mom an expensive wig or topper, she introduced us to an inexpensive option (hair fibers) AND she cleaned up and shaped my mom's hair in the back. She did all of this in our consultation without any expectations of payment. My mom and I are so grateful to Emily for suggesting the option that best suits her based on who she is and her lifestyle.

She creates a solid foundation that allows me to wear my extensions for the longest time possible without any damage. On top of that, she makes me feel so comfortable that I can truly relax during the entire service. Calvina is a true expert and top of her trade.

Again like I said I always get long lengths and 4-6 bundles that add a bit of weight so after care and maintenance is crucial in preserving your install. I've never had an issue and I've had too many installs to count. Calvina's foundations are solid and pain free. I have NEVER had my scalp ache or hurt after an Install with her and I'm sensitive. Her number and locations have changed over the years but the quality, customer service and execution has remained the same-THE BEST!
