She will tell you honestly if your idea is not the most flattering, but will also make you feel like you're the most beautiful person to sit in her chair. She is talented enough that you feel confident taking risks with your hair, but she doesn't push. Just trust in the power of Lauren (I mean, also use good products and styling tools!). If I had more money I would be in there 3x a week, but alas :( The salon has a really nice vibe, but if you aren't already a client don't expect to get in right away. The wait is worth it.

I recently came to Avant Garde when the stylist who was doing my color and i-link extensions…read moreretired; two of his stylists migrated here and one of them, Shawna, does the same type of extensions that my now-retired stylist was doing. I consulted with Shawna before the move and we coordinated for my first visit to Avant Garde. Turns out, one of the front desk staff, Donovan, was someone I'd with whom I'd become acquainted five years ago when he worked the desk in another industry - he is so friendly and engaging, always upbeat and cheerful, I was so excited to be working with him again! The fact that he's been here for five years tells you how the salon treats their employees; Donovan seems very happy here. And he's great. Avant Garde is an Aveda salon and Aveda salons ALWAYS smell amazing! They have lots of great products for sale, and they have many wonderful beverages including a delicious tea for you to stay hydrated while you wait and/or receive your service. Since I was getting extensions out and back in, and getting a full color in between, Shawna and I were hanging out for quite a while. During that time, I was able to observe the other talented stylists around her station, and in turn, they came over to see these extensions Shawna was doing with me, since they don't do them! I noticed the stylists around spent a great deal of time educating their clients on how to style their hair and what styling tools and products would best help them, in a way I haven't seen too often elsewhere. Though I'd met Shawna at the other salon, this was the first time she worked with me. Leading up to and during my visit she was very patient, asked lots of questions on the style I wanted. She did a great job with the color and the extensions, as well as the cut, and I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her at her new work-home! I'd like to point out that Avant Garde is a full service salon and offers massage and nail services in addition to the hair services. For hair services, I've always found Aveda salons to be higher priced than other salons, in every city I've lived in, and that's not an exception here. Aveda products in general are a bit more expensive than other salon brands. Avant Garde is in line with that.

I highly recommend coming here.

She was able to answer all my hair care questions & it was a pleasant hour chatting with her. She was very gentle with my hair and recommended appropriate products.

I unfortunately had a negative experience with my haircut and blow dry. My stylist was very sweet…read more However, the standard of her service was subpar and I hope she gets the training she needs to be able to achieve this skill. I asked for a trim/cut to remove the dead ends and keep long layers, I informed her I had curly frizzy hair and usually my stylist will cut it after the blowdry. She stated she preferred to cut it wet and informed me she would touch it up after the blowdry, which was fine with me. When it came to the blowdry, it was clear she was not skilled with proper technique to blow out thick curly hair. It took about 30 minutes just for one section when finally another stylist noticed and asked if she wanted help. The other stylist asked what product was in my hair and stated that probably wasn't the right product to use and offered her blow dryer. The other stylist did a section that turned out just fine. My stylist continued on with the rest of my hair, at points I had to inform her the blow dryer was burning my scalp. The end result was a frizzy mess and it was clear I was not happy with the outcome, while her and the other stylist kept trying to normalize it by saying "Oh some people's hair just resists the blow dry" "it's looking so good!" etc. I truly didn't appreciate these comments as I have obviously gotten several blowouts and know my hair can definitely be blown out frizz-free. She also did not touch up the haircut at the end as she previously said she would and I was left with choppy layers that I will have to get fixed. The most disappointing part is that I tried to contact the salon owner three times to have this fixed with literally no response.

I have been searching for a salon and stylist that truly cares about the health of your hair and who knows how to cut hair properly. Most salons CANNOT cut hair professionally even though they charge you for said "professional cut." Angela will give you an outstanding cut. I firmly believe that my hair grew faster and healthier because of it. My hair was so damaged, tangled and breaking off from hormones and stress. Angela was so sweet and extremely informative about hair health and products. She has a pleasant and gentle energy that transfers to how she handles the service that you're getting. She is honest and gives you all the information regarding your hair as well as how to take care of it "after" the appointment. Every single time I go to Angela my hair looks and feels so healthy, shiny and gorgeous. My scalp feels clean and my my hair has so much body. My style lasts for 7 to 10 days guaranteed when I use a silk bonnet and minimal product. Angela is the best!! She is a hair SAFE salon! :) I don't have a photo but I will update my review on my next visit!
