Highlights and cut and blow dry on long hair

Anonymous
13th Aug 2016

Ashley has the horrible job of colouring my long unruly hair! She is an excellent colourist and stylist. my hair colour is the best it had ever been and I'm 47! and the cut and blow dry is exceptional. I would recommend her without exception. The salon is light and airy and there are lots of nice drinks on offer. A pleasurable experience even though I don't enjoy the hairdressers and very affordable too. highly recommended with a high level of customer service.

First visit here today after a disaster colour from another Salon!.... The whole team were absolutely fantastic. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with everything from what they could advise to talking me through what they were doing. They corrected the colour and have fantastic service! The owner of the salon even moved my car as the parking ticket ran out, whilst I was having my treatment..... You don't get that everywhere!! Thanks again Avant Garde team!!!

The salon is really convient near asda, lovely facilities, like the massage chairs while your hair is washed. Katie was a gem , very patient, listened to what I wanted, then used her magic to do a lovely cut and blow dry.
All the stylists were polite, caring and very good at what they do , by the smile on people's faces as they left.
Definitely going back to Katie ????

Cut

Cut was cheap but nothing special. Stylist was a bit 'scissor happy'. Salon a bit grubby looking; heavily stained aprons (or whatever they call the things they use to protect your clothes). Never seen that before. Hair not swept up immediately, as in other 'high end' salons. Wouldn't rush back.

Today I had my first appointment at the salon for a wash and blow dry. I really enjoyed the experience. The salon is lovely and spacious, the staff are friendly, the products smell lovely and most importantly my hair looked smooth and glossy before the stylist (Catherine) had even straightened it.

My hair is usually wavy and frizzy and never looks nice without being straightened. Therefore I was impressed with Catherine's blow drying technique.

I was also impressed that Catherine took time to cut my fringe and discuss colour with me; she also requested I have a patch test prior to having a colour there which not all salons do in my experience. I felt this was very professional and I'm looking forward to having my colour there in a couple of weeks.

Finally I love the computer booking system online. I am a nurse and don't always get chance to make phone calls most days; so to book online anytime is fantastic.

Thank you.
Helen Muddyman.

Made to wait a further ten minutes after 1st contact and staff member made no effort to speed up her previous over running appointment
Lop sided rushed hair cut and zero effort made by the salon/staff to clean any cut hair

In general!!! Extremely poor quality service

Having recently moved to the area I was nervous about finding a new hair dressers but i shouldn't have been worried Lyndsey was absolutely fantastic, she was welcoming, obviously very knowledgeable and experienced and knew exactly what to do to achieve the colour I wanted. I cannot compliment her enough, the service was great, a really lovely, well presented salon in a great location and I would recommend them to anyone.

First time at Avant Garde. I'd been dying my hair red for 12years and couldnt get rid of it! Zoe was amazing and did a fantastic colour correction and am now nearly back to my natural hair colour. Everyone was lovely and I felt really relaxed!
Really amazed how good it looks! Have already booked my next appointment!

Apart from knowing that I will come out looking much better than when I go in, having my hair done at the City Avant Garde saloon is alway relaxing and enjoyable. My stylist Lindsay is terrific. She came in to the salon on a Sunday especially to fix me up before a conference tomorrow. Being open on Sundays and evenings really helps when work is busy.

I love visiting the salon for a haircut etc Ashley is a fantastic colourist, cutter and stylist. No one has ever done such a good job with my unruly curls.
It's such shame Heidi has left. I used to see her for waxing etc, she too was brilliant. She will be missed.
Even my children look forward to visiting, and the coffee is an added bonus too.

Thank you.

My daughter and I were booked in for restyles, it was explained that I had very long curly hair as we know it takes longer to style. It became obvious in a very short time that I was a 'fit in' because the stylist had to keep leaving me to attend to her other client, I received a vry nice but basic cut-she opted out of giving me layers, sayin it would sit better one length-and decided not to blow dry as it would add volume-this is of course accurate but I am used to having 'big' hair-and sat me under the radiant drier for a short while. She didnt have the time to give me the cut or the blow dry. I left with wet hair and a wet top all down my back where my hair touched! We were still charged the full price and I felt I could have done it myself equally as well. There was no point in my complaining at the time because she was doing her other client, and had I insisted on it she physically couldnt do it! we gave her a tip because she was very competent but had obviously been double book

Wrong booking to unfinished dye

Quite disappointed to see grey hairs after had spent over 3 hours in the hairdresser and spent over £150. At the end I was felt really small when I asked for a breakdown which still didn't made sense. Ashley was great but to be fair she wasn't made aware of my booking to dye my hair... Hence having to spin me around her less experienced colleagues. Receptionist on last Thursday didn't took note of my booking to dye my hair, only to cut it... Not a good experience overall.

I found myself unintentionally here today but it turned out to be a great thing. I'm disabled and from the moment i entered i found the staff helpful, understanding and relaxed around me. This relaxed me. Zoe was my stylist. I've had my hair a particular way for a while now and it was nice, Zoe did her magic and now my similar style looks sensational. I'm so happy with the result that, even though its harder to me to get to than my own salon, i'm changing over so Zoe can keep doing my hair. There was nothing wrong before. Just this salon did it better. And i won't need to go as often, a bonus for me due to my disability. I only went along as it was the only way i was going to get my hair cut & coloured when i needed it but i've come out with a great new style, a plan to improve the health of my hair and a big boost in confidence.

I have never been to this salon before but will be back. Ashleigh was great and took time to find out what I wanted and liked - and for the first time in 6 years of trying, I have found a hairdresser who knows how to cut my hair. A nice relaxed atmosphere and although I ran over my appointment and hair cut never felt rushed. Love my hair cut and a great customer service.
