Very good business ethic from Jay. ** Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE experience with Avanti this Sunday, July 20th 2025. My sister was getting married on Sunday, an 11:00AM ceremony. We made an appointment with Avanti (Corey specifically) for that morning. After some back and forth on timing we received confirmation that Corey would come in early for the service at 9:00AM. We were quoted a base fee of $150. (confirmation email attached) The morning of the wedding arrives and we take a cab across town to get the bride's hair done. We go up the four flights of stairs and arrive at a locked, dark salon. No one was there. No lights, nothing. We knocked, no one. We pulled up the email and confirmed again that Corey had promised to be here. We emailed them confirming we were waiting and to please get in touch (they never responded to that email - also attached.) We called the number listed and it was an automated message, no way to speak to a real person. The bride is obviously distraught, the ceremony starts in two hours and we have no one to do her hair. We waited around until around 9:30AM and finally couldn't wait any longer. We were beyond grateful to the outstanding salon next door, James Joseph Salon, for their extremely accommodating, empathetic, and beautiful work. They rushed us in the door immediately and had us BOTH walking out 45 minutes later with incredible style, at an unbeatable price. Halfway through my sister getting her hair rescued, we received a call from Avanti asking where we were. I stated that no one showed up, it was unacceptable behavior for ANY day let alone a wedding appointment. She said "Well, we're here now." No apologies, no empathy, nothing. She should be lucky I hung up before saying what I wanted to. DO NOT trust this salon with your time, your credit card information, or your hair - you'd be much better off heading next door to James Joseph Salon. They show up.

I've…read morebeen traveling for several months and really needed a full set of highlights and cut on my stop in Boston. After scanning previous reviews, I made an appointment with Olti. He put so much attention into my hair, specific issues, how it had been colored in the past, and I ended up with what I think is the best color I've ever had! My 20 year old daughter was with me and she agreed. Really beautiful highlights, toner, and treatment for my damaged hair. The cut was equally great. It's always nerve wracking to find a hair stylist in a new city and trust that it's going to work out ok, but Olti absolutely exceeded what I thought I might be able to find. Plus, he is a super chill and kind person to hang out and talk with. Ralphie the Frenchie who hangs in the shop was an added bonus. Definitely recommend making an appointment here. You won't regret it!

I have curly, frizzy, fine hair and it is not easy to style and cut. Nate, the owner/co-owner is the best colorist and also bang & shag cutter anywhere, especially if you have curly hair! The best part, or cherry on the top, is that, unlike other salons where you go home looking great and then can't get your hair to look "that way" on your own, ever -- @ Trephin, Nate will literally sit down with you and go over your hair AND scalp needs, lifestyle (e.g. wash and go, or blow dry queen?, AirWrap or regular?) and in my case allergies and let you know exactly which products to use to replicate that look at home, plus what to do to keep your hair in a very healthy condition - which is the basis for all great hair. For example, Nate recommended drops for my hair which also repair the hair, double duty. And a conditioner that I leave in as a styling creme. Because of this I was finally able to get my hair healthy enough to grow long like I wanted to for the first time since I was a teenager. He also helped my daughter with dandruff. I've seen him sit down for 20 minutes with someone who had multiple allergies and find her products to use. He also gives samples of some of the shampoos/conditioners if needed. I call this my Hair Prescription and there is simply no one better!! Definitely in great hands here!
