Avanti Salon

"Edit: I got contacted right after with a proposed refund, I increase from 1star to 4stars for the prompt reply and the professional proposition. She was nice, but I had clearly expressed my desire to keep long hair by showing her a picture of long hair maybe 2 or 3 times. I'm not sure why I ended up with a short haircut that was completely different from the photos. I would have given maybe 2 stars if it had not cost me $80 and if I hadn't shown her the pictures 2 or 3 times."

"This place is a joke. The receptionist is rude, the staff is smug, and the stylists are dismissive. I would highly recommend avoiding this place, especially if you are looking for any glossing or conditioning I went in for conditioning about a month ago and the receptionist was immediately rude to me saying I was late and threatened to take away the deposit. She acted like I was a nuisance and couldn't answer my questions. When I finally got to see the stylist, she rushed through the appointment and didn't seem to care about my concerns. The receptionist too lied about treating me this way. The whole environment in the salon was toxic and uncomfortably smug. The receptionists were all very cliquey and made me feel like I was being judged. I even overheard two of them making fun of my appearance. After wasting my time, I left the hair salon feeling humiliated and angry. I would never recommend this place to anyone, especially not if you. They will do anything to refuse and not admit their mistakes, even not take responsibility!! There are much better hair salons on the street out there that will treat you with respect and provide much better quality"

"I recently got my hair done at Avanti for a bachelorette weekend, and it was better than great! I wish I could give more than 5 stars as a rating. Jay was incredibly sweet and helpful, not only this but checked in on me while I was at my appointment to make sure everything was going smoothly. I had my hair styled by Marguerite, who could not have been kinder and it looked amazing! Could not recommend a better place than Avanti on Newbury Street."

"I love the way Margarita colored my hair, beautifully and thoroughly done! I appreciate the attention to detail Margarita used when cutting my hair, and I enjoyed being able to work together to come up with how would be best to style my hair for the gala. I felt beautiful after she was done and can’t thank her enough!"
