I was very pleased with his service and the haircut he had given me. Through our conversations, I could tell that he was passionate about his work. Although I asked for an inch trim, he was still meticulous about the cut. I have heard of disaster stories of having hair cut too short, but Charlie actually listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. My hair looked and felt healthier after the haircut. I have been running my fingers through my hair more often than usual. I was fortunate to be in the hands of Charlie. I would definitely come back to see him again for another haircut and recommend others to do so as well.

I was trying to be so optimistic about the haircut that I received but it's objectively terrible…read more I'm genuinely so upset i wasted so much money coming here for a botched haircut when i could've cut my own hair with craft scissors and it would've turned out so much better. I tried to trust the process because I figured he's been doing hair long enough and he charges high enough to know what he's doing but it doesn't really seem like there's much thought to how he cuts hair, he just cuts it. I asked for something close to a bob and he told me my hair wasn't far off from that and instead of cutting it level while slightly laying the sides and back he cuts the whole entire back at an angle and gave me almost a pixie cut with long strands in the front/a karen cut. There's absolutely no way he thinks it turned out good, i'm sure he was just trying to convince me it looked okay so i wouldn't be upset and i'd pay him full price. Now i'm going to have to waste 3 months waiting for it to grow out to a decent length.

I walked out the door feeling polished, confident, and absolutely perfect for the occasion. My hair stayed beautifully in place throughout the evening and into the next morning for the after wedding brunch. I received so many compliments. Anita did a beautiful job with my makeup. She gave me a natural, elegant look that complemented my hair perfectly and made me feel completely put together for the wedding. I had stressed so much about my hair and makeup beforehand, and once I was in their hands, I didn't have to think about either one again. It was such a pleasure to relax and simply enjoy the day.

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.

The stylist tried her best but ultimately did not meet the goal. She tried but failed and ran out of time and her colleagues made me feel like I'm beneath them for explaining I was not happy with my results. For the price and location I expected excellence what I experienced was FAR LESS. When I spoke to the manager about my experience regarding his salon and employees we discussed emailing photos and a full refund. I have yet to hear back after 2 emails and 2 phone calls at his salon asking him to call or email me back. Attached are photos I showed stylist and what I ended with (I'm naturally a very dark brown) Still waiting for Michael to respond to my multiple emails and messages left at his front desk.

I have been coloring my hair for years with the same person and was so nervous to try somewhere new. I have naturally brown hair but I color it to be like a blake lively esque beachy glow. To make it more complicated, I wanted to turn my hair tone a bit more ashy than it's current color. I showed Vickie a picture of the color I wanted and we talked about my vision. She made me feel comfortable while I was in the chair and I forgot all the nervousness! I was in awe once the foils came off. She matched the model in the Instagram picture's tone exactly! I have received so many compliments and am so happy that I went to Vickie. Highly recommend. I will be back!!
