I've been getting tape-in extensions for 12 years, have worked with many stylists, and tried…read morecountless hair brands. After moving to NC from Los Angeles, I had the most unprofessional and inhumane experience ever at this salon, leaving me stuck with extensions I dislike and $1,000 poorer. Lindsey, a young stylist in training, installed my extensions. She had previously done my hair under supervision with great results, so I trusted her again. I paid $906 for 24" Hot Heads in medium brown (#3), which had always matched my hair perfectly. However, when the hair arrived, it looked much darker. I asked if she was sure it was the correct color, and she insisted it was the same, just longer. After installation, the extensions were clearly much darker than my natural medium brown hair. Lindsey said the color would lighten after a wash. It didn't. After a week, my hair still looked black, while my natural hair was brown (see photos). I called the salon, and Lindsey admitted Hot Heads had sent the wrong color. She offered two options: wait until January for the correct length and color or switch to the Babe brand in the same length and color. I confirmed over the phone that I wanted the exact same color and 24" length. Lindsey reassured me this was possible and even said she'd pay for the replacement extensions herself, as the salon owner wouldn't help. Embarrassed by how bad my hair looked, I agreed to the Babe extensions. When the new extensions arrived, the color blended better, but the length was noticeably shorter than 24". I asked Lindsey why, and she claimed she didn't know, as she had ordered 24". When she compared the Hot Heads extensions to the Babe ones, the new ones were about 3" shorter. I was livid. I paid nearly $1,000 for extensions to add length and ended up with hair barely longer than my natural hair. Lindsey said she'd try to resolve it with Hot Heads but doubted anything could be done. She then offered to resell me extensions at a salon discount. After already spending $1,000, I refused to pay more and just wanted what I had initially paid for. Lindsey told me to text her directly, not the salon, because the owner was rude and had caused her to lose clients. She claimed he was retiring soon and that she was trying to ensure I had the best service. After texting her for updates and receiving no response, I contacted Hot Heads directly. They were willing to fix the issue if the salon opened a claim. However, when Hot Heads called the salon, Lindsey was "unavailable." Frustrated, I went to the salon in person. Lindsey was there, but before I could speak, the owner came out yelling. He claimed the salon had ordered the wrong color and length, directly contradicting what Lindsey told me. He then accused me of agreeing to shorter extensions, which was untrue--I have text messages proving Lindsey promised 24" extensions. The owner became aggressive, pushed me, threatened to call the police, and began recording me. This entire experience has been horrific. I now have extensions I dislike, which are the same length as my natural hair, and am out $1,000. Do not go to this salon. Their negative reviews are filtered, but if you dig deeper, you'll see similar horror stories. I wish I had.

Avanti is located in the shopping center right off of the New Garden Road exit off Bryan Boulevard, 15 minutes from downtown Greensboro with plenty of parking right by the salon. As soon as I walked in I was taken aback in a wonderful way of how big the place was. It was bustling with hair stylists and customers and technicians getting and giving all kinds of treatments. It gave off a great vibe. I had the pleasure of getting my haircut and styled by Gary, and had the opportunity to also meet his wife Rebecca who is intrinsic to the success of Avanti. Both of them are warm and charming and welcoming and talented! It was wonderful to get an old-fashioned haircut with lots of care and a pair of scissors by someone as experienced as Gary. I loved my haircut and I have been back several times since, alternating between Avanti and Christian. Gary does it all. He washes your hair, he offers you a conditioner afterwards, takes great care and pride in the haircut and is a wonderful conversationalist. I always feel like a million bucks when I go in there. As appreciative as I am of the wonderful haircut, my visit to Avanti would not be complete without spending some time with Rebecca, Gary's, wife and co-owner of the business. I love visiting with her in the office and we always have lots to talk about. Great lady! Avanti offers lots of other services and I intend to check them out at some point. They have lots of repeat business because it seemed like everybody knew everybody. A great sign! As you can tell by this review, I am enchanted with Avanti and so impressed with Gary and Rebecca, owners of this wonderful establishment. What a duo!! Male or female, I cannot recommend this place enough. As long as there is still some hair on my head, I will be visiting Avanti and taking advantage of this fantastic salon and the TLC I get from its owners!

They'll need your email, phone number, and card information (card information is normal for salons to take ahead of time to ensure there won't be as many cancellations for them). Or! You can also book online. I checked in and they gave me a little goodie bag for being a first time client of theirs which is incredibly nice. Pricing varies depending on who your stylist is and what level hair stylist they are. I went to Kennady who was simply amazing! She was honest and did exactly what I was asking for! I went to her for a haircut and that was $75, including the shampoo and style. Worth it! I can't express how friendly every single person at this salon was. They're super bubbly and outgoing. The salon entrance is facing the road and you'll have to go up a flight of stairs. They've been around for around 4 years now. They have local art hanging on the walls to buy and plants all around the space. Absolutely worth the fun experience and so happy I found such a positive and happy place to go to now :)

In this case, it was Jenn. The first request was met with "Jenn is all booked up for the holidays, you can book with x, y or z." Because it was a busy time of year I understood. But the same thing happened 9 months later. If Jenn is not taking new customers, just say so. And answer your phone. Still looking for a colorist but at Instinct? No...my money and golden locks will go elsewhere:)
