I have been going to Avant for a few years as I like the AVeda products, the atmosphere, and the customer services. Teresa does both my color and cut. I have always enjoyed the visit to the salon as it is quiet, serene, and relaxing. However, the salon has changed in the last year. It appears that the owner is moving it from a high value/ customer focused salon to that of high volume/low value. There are so many stations there now that you can barely get from the front to the back without running into chairs or people. Regrettably, my stylist Teresa has also left for Luxe in the Domain. Per chance it is time for me to find another salon with more atmosphere.
Pros: some of the stylists are truly outstanding..Jackie is a good manager.
Cons: too crowded that it feels like Grand Central Station
