A Disappointing Experience…read more I don't usually leave negative reviews ( see my other reviews) but after spending $395 here -- and being treated the way I was -- I feel compelled to share my experience. For context, I have been living in the Berkshires all summer taking care of my 85-year-old father and my stepmother who has advanced dementia. The last time I did anything to my hair was over a year ago because one of my closest friends did my hair for over 20 years. & she recently passed away from a brain tumor. Booking an appointment was a very emotional ordeal. I went in with dark brown hair and I wanted golden blonde highlighted hair. I also asked for a trim, saying I wanted to keep as much length as possible. Instead, I left with hair that was still brown, with just a few subtle highlights. The stylist was a very sweet, young woman, but the end result was nothing like the inspiration photo I provided -- even after a consultation beforehand a week before the appointment. The stylist I saw consulted with another stylist there, and they were both kind and professional, and I don't blame them which is why I am omitting their names. I would even see them again if they worked somewhere else because the quality of their work was good. It just wasn't what I was going for. I thought maybe I hadn't made that clear even though I brought a photo of the color I wanted. I am the kind of person who will eat the wrong meal at a restaurant rather than complain. I reached out after the appointment to express that I wasn't happy with the results and would like to see if I could come back in. I was told via text to "come in Thursday and we'll fix it." But when I replied with my availability, I got no response. I followed up the next day and received a call from the owner, Caroline. Rather than offering a solution, she defended the work for 10-15 minutes and told me things like "look at the color outside," "we just don't know how the hair is going to lift until we get in there," and lastly, "the stylists you worked with are very pleased with the results." When I calmly expressed that I wasn't happy with the results and said that I felt unheard -- I believe I said I am now feeling a little "gaslit" -- the owner Caroline started yelling at me: "I AM NOT! THAT IS NOT WHAT IS HAPPENING! I FIND THAT VERY TRIGGERING!" I ended the call -- stunned and upset. This was meant to be a moment of long-overdue self-care during a very difficult year. Instead, I left feeling dismissed and disrespected. If you're looking for beauty and healing, proceed with caution -- especially if you're not 100% satisfied with the results.

I've been a regular at Avant Garde for the past five years. I have a shorter haircut that requires…read morefrequent trims... Any ladies with short hair who may read this will appreciate how difficult it is to find someone to give you a good cut AND give you what you asked for AND at an affordable price. A variety of clientele frequent Avant Garde; young and old, men and women. There seem to be quite a number of regular, happy customers. In addition to cuts, I know Avant Garde offers various other salon services, such as styling, waxing and dye, but I've never utilized those services here so I can't really comment on them. PROS: The decor/ atmosphere is bright and fun. It's very clean. Judy (the owner) is an excellent stylist. She is fast and precise. She is friendly but a nice departure from those obnoxious hairdressers who force an uncomfortable conversation on you while holding you hostage in their chair. You know the ones I mean. She also won't pressure you into spending more on additional products/ services that you don't really want/ need. And, HELLO, a wash, cut and dry costs $20. You won't find that anywhere in Albany except maybe the mall salons... and even some of those are pricier. If you want to bring a photo in to show her the cut you want, she will duplicate it perfectly. They do take walk-ins and she will squeeze you in if she can. CONS: It's a little off the beaten path, about 3.5 miles from the NY/MA border, in a small strip mall next to a gun shop. I suppose that sort of adds to the allure, though. The business hours are short, and she is usually closed before 1pm on Saturday. I would strongly recommend calling ahead to schedule an appointment, as they have a small staff. For a while it was just Judy working there, but I understand she's recently brought on a few other people. Things can sometimes feel a little rushed for this reason, too. I will continue to come here for my cuts, assuming I don't find someone with this level of quality closer to home. Try her out; you won't be disappointed. Just don't go on Saturday and bump me out of an appointment.
