Had a really relaxing time after having a massage by Mel, she really did a great job and made me feel so comfortable with her bubbly and friendly personality that put me at ease. Looking forward to coming again next month and having her having booked with her again. She’s a new member to the team so a great addition to an already talented team at Avant Garde Xx

I don’t get to go to a nice salon and be pampered very often as I’m a carer for my son but wow what a lovely experience. Felt relaxed and Michelle was amazing. Beautiful hair wash including massage and then the perfect cut. Very happy and I have rebooked for January.

Michelle was fantastic as always. Paid very detailed attention to what I wanted even though she was running late due to previous client. She was caring and personable as always.
Honestly speaking I felt sorry for her that she couldn’t take even a minute break as she was scheduled for another client in between.
She did a fantastic job as always and I look forward to seeing her again
