Visited SMQ today to see Rhiannon, who has performed a truly amazing job! In depth consultation, full head colour, treatments and cut and blow dry . I felt so safe considering the current situation, the salon is so clean and constantly being sanitised. Would highly recommend Rhiannon’s incredible talent

It was so nice to see Aimee after all this time not just for my hair of course! She did a fabulous job with my blonde hair colour after my dark roots were nearly half way down my head! She blended the colour in nicely and made it a lot warmer. I have seen Aimee for years and she always does a fantastic job. Avant Garde made an excellent effort with making you feel welcome, safe and comfortable, providing you with your own PPE as well as keeping things normal with their bright and happy atmosphere.

The preventive measures in place at Avant Garde, Warndon are impressive. The arrangements include an individual sealed Client Pack with mask, gown and towel. The staff team is obviously well trained and practised. Aimee worked miracles with my tatty mop and the 4 months' growth of dark roots. Cut superb and slightly altered new colour is absolutely brilliant for summer. Only downside, and outside the Salon's control, was usual buzzy atmosphere lacking as only a couple of Clients in at once. No hot drinks or high-end magazines allowed either. We will get used to life like this. Thank you to everyone.

Like many, I was unsure about how the salon experience would differ to ‘pre-lockdown’. However, I needn’t have worried. As usual, all of the staff at Avant Garde were super smiley and welcoming, instantly putting me at ease. Lindsey’s calm and chatty nature made the whole experience feel more like I was catching up with an old friend. Thank you, Lindsey for a lovely cut and blow dry- my hair feels so much happier and healthier now!

Had my hair coloured today, was due to have it done the week we went into lockdown so it was very much needed. I was a bit apprehensive about going into st Martin's salon but it was a good, made to feel very comfortable and the cleanliness was brilliant, screens and privacy measures very good. Changed my colour slightly this time added a splash of pink, so pleased with how it has come through. Great job Kate as always. Very pleased thank you.

First appointment after restrictions were lifted. I cannot praise Aimee and the Avant Garde team enough. Just waited outside to be called in; sanitisers for hands and little bag; PPE Packs with apron, disposable towel and optional mask; only 4 stylists at a time so lots of social distance. The usual friendly and professional treatment with added care due to Aimee and the others wearing aprons, gloves and visors. I felt comfortable and safe plus my hair was fab (my Brian May locks really needed taming and colouring). You take your used kit away for disposal and everything is sanitised afterwards, so more precautions. I paid by card plus booked my next two appointments at the chair. Well done!! ?to Aimee.

As a small business unfortunately we have had to add a small surcharge for the time being (we haven't raised our prices and as soon as we can we will remove the surcharge).
This is due to the increased prices in PPE, this is something we have no control over I'm afraid and is a huge cost for us to incur.
Apologies that this wasn't explained to you before your appointment.
