I was looking around to find a salon that would be able to take a last minute appointment and would…read morebe able to accommodate to a specialized cut, style and highlight. I was looking for a stylist to give me a long pixie, with an undercut with highlights. When I called Aalon Avalon, they squeezed me into a slot that was open same day. When I got there, and their Master Stylist was able to review and get an idea of the style and color I was asking for . He was very thorough and able to explain in detail how they were going to style me and told me they have an opening I. 45 minutes. . Specialty cut and color can take about three to four hours for the coloring part to get the right color and based I. What was explained to me, I was pretty confident that they were really going to do an amazing job with my help. When I got back, I was late for the appointment but they didn't sweat me, since they just got done with the previous customer and needed to set up the station. When my stylist was ready, she was very sweet and really took care of me to make sure I get the cut and style I requested. The vibe of the salon was very personable and easy going. I really enjoyed the time care she put in to working. When she completed my hair, it looked exactly as I wanted. It was like 20 pounds was chopped off my head If you're looking for a good salon that is really proficient with specialty cuts, this is the place to go. Thank you, Salon Avalon for the time, patience and care you put into me and my hair.

If you're looking for a color master for your hair, look no further than Sari at Salon Avalon. He…read moreis truly the best and has a really good eye for color and style. Because I have had bleached hair (as an Asian) for a while, I have visited several hair salons for color and he is definitely the best, has an eye for colors that would pair well with your face, passionate about his craft, and takes a lot of pride in his work. I can't imagine someone being unhappy with the results. He even has a lot of before and after photos in his phone, where you can see a lot of really cool color jobs that he has done, in case you don't believe me. Everyone was very sweet and the salon was nice and clean! I would recommend Sari again!

I am so glad I booked with Taylor. Don't be fooled by the limited reviews, seems like Yelp is…read more"hiding" them due to the reviewer's profile not having sufficient reviews. Due to this, I was a bit hesitant to book at first as well but I took a leap of faith after looking at her work. I am so glad I did. I booked a consultation Sunday afternoon and got a consultation the next day on Monday. She was absolutely thorough in what I wanted and made sure it was to my expectation. I told her I wanted to keep my natural hair length (as I am growing it out) but I wanted to add extensions for a little extra length and volume. If you're looking for the same, tape ins are one of the greatest options to do so with little to no damage if properly taken care of. I decided to do a color correction with some added highlights to bring out some depth + toning to a chocolate brown color to correct some of the brassiness + adding some 24 inch tape-ins (both rooted brown/blonde highlights + chocolate brown to add more length and volume). Trust me.... SO. WORTH. IT. For reference, I added about 150g. You will see in my photos shortly ladies!!!!!!! Anyway, she ordered the hair the same night (Monday) and it came in just in time for my Saturday morning appointment. She does the tapes herself so this is an absolutely remarkable turnaround. More than that, Taylor was incredibly transparent with the cost of the extensions and even sent me the receipt to show that I was paying for exactly that with no hidden costs, something you don't see too often these days. The studio was such a vibe with clean and modern aesthetics! Cute plants, both nice natural lighting and lit LED mirrors, cosy teddy bear sofa & pretty framed pics of her work. Regarding the results yall... no need to explain. I'll let the pictures say it all. After all... a picture is worth a thousand words.

I am never happy with the way I style my hair. It doesn't last, it falls flat, or it just doesn't look like I want it to. I'm so glad I reached out and asked if she could wash, dry and curl my hair. It was shiny, bouncy, and somehow still felt soft and natural. When I do it, it's all crunchy and stiff , and either too curly or not curly enough! The curls lasted all day, even through outfit changes and wind. She's so easy to talk to and really knows what she's doing. I left feeling amazing and so confident during our pictures. 10/10 recommend!!

The booking process was seamless, and she was super responsive whenever I had questions. It made everything stress-free and easy. I already booked my next appointment One thing to note: they do have a strict cancellation policy, but it's clearly communicated upfront. I understood that if I had to cancelled, I would still be charged for their time and the reserved slot, which is totally fair. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone professional, talented, and reliable!

Mikayla was very friendly and explained everything she would be doing during the process. I chose the Advanced Head Care which included the scalp/hair treatment along with a mini facial massage. The service also included massaging of the neck and shoulders. She showed me pictures of my scalp in the beginning and how to tell the difference in areas. Unfortunately she did not do the after shots so I'm not sure how it looked after the treatment. Maybe next time. ‍ It was very relaxing and educational. They have a 20% discount for first time visitors and I do plan on going back again. I recommend checking them out if you're in the area.

I hate leaving a bad review - but this was not a good experience at all for me…read more I visited H20 because I have thinning hair and thought this head spa might be able to support me with better scalp care. I purchased the "expert scalp service" which included a mini facial. It ultimately seemed like they just don't cater to people with any scalp or hair issues, they don't ask you about your concerns or goals, and really they provide a one size fits all experience. I really wanted to optimize my hair and scalp care, and sadly came away with the opposite. If they knew anything about scalp care for thinning hair, they sure didn't share any of that knowledge with me. Pro: The person who did my treatment seemed very kind and she meant well, so I have nothing against her specifically. I am giving two stars just because they seem like they try, they just don't seem to have any actual expertise in scalp or head care. The scalp analysis was a few quick close up scans of my scalp with no real explanation other than "see, there's some build up". I have very fine, brittle and thinning hair and the tech kept brushing it roughly throughout different parts of the treatment, including when it was wet with product in my hair (great way to lose more hair). I cringed as I could hear and feel my hair breaking every time. The treatment table is super uncomfortable and my neck kept locking up as the tech worked on different sides of my face, scalp and neck. The facial itself was totally claustrophobic - they put the face mask on, then a big sheet of gauze with something on top to weight it down covering your entire face, including mouth and eyes. It stays there for an hour while they do the scalp treatment. I couldn't see anything and there was so much going on with the water - it totally freaked me out when I was lying there trying to relax and had no idea what the tech was doing. And at one point, all of a sudden there's all this water shooting out at my neck out of nowhere. I spent half the treatment bracing myself for jump scares because I couldn't see anything. But even worse than the hair breakage was that the facial irritated my face so much that I am now all broken out :( I take really good care of my skin so this is a huge bummer. I have no idea what they did to it - there was some kind of scrubbing machine at the beginning of the facial that may have stripped my moisture barrier - or it was the fact that they left the mask on for an hour while they did the scalp treatment and it clogged my pores. My face is now all red and bumpy and some of it is itchy. This has never happened before, and I have no allergies - I think they just messed with my skin way too much. I'm sure they did not consider any specifics of my skin type or age when they did the facial. I'm glad other people like this place, and I'm sorry I didn't. If you have any specific scalp or hair issues, it may be best to avoid H20 or like me, you will come home with a lot less hair than you started with (and possibly a broken out face too!)
