Wonderful Experience for a Wonderful Price
by abbeyewe at Citysearch
As an employee at UT for many years I have had a myriad of experiences at the Alante salon as it is so close to campus. The current owner is talented, professional, and competitively priced - actually cheaper than others and she is better at styling hair. The salon is clean and comfortable. Young takes time to listen to the client, and uses color and cut to enhance the individual's appearance. She can do edgy or traditional looks - men and women. She is great!!! Give her talent a try!!!
- Pros: great fashionable styling, individual attention
- Cons: none

What an improvement!

I think all that can be said about how Alante was before the owner switch has been said, but let me say, the new change is a welcomed one and a definite upgrade. I went back to Alante after vowing to never go back after I had a baaad haircut, and I was pleasantly surprised about how incredibly nice and polite the new owner is! She definitely knows how to style and cut hair, and even though my hair was just a bit too short for the new style I wanted, she was able to work with what I had and make it look exactly how I wanted in the picture. Also, the prices have been slashed in half. I went from paying around 55 for a bad haircut and mediocre service to a great haircut for only 25, including a wash. Alante is on the drag, so being primarily a student locale, the new prices are definitely a plus and student-friendly. I've seen some reviews saying this is an "asian" place, but I can't say that's true. Sure there are asian clients, I mean a big chunk of UT IS asian, but when I was there there was a mix of people coming in, and it definitely wasn't "asian-only." This isn't the Alante from before, and new Alante is a much better, friendlier, cheaper place to get your haircut than it ever was before. All the changes the new owner has made have been great changes, and Alante is headed in a great direction.
- Pros: cheap prices, great haircut, friendly & polite service
- Cons: I really can't think of any!

Great Haircut
by anonymous31 at Citysearch
I have been going to Alante for three years now, it has recently changed owners. The new owner is great, She is very friendly and always remembers exactly how I want my hair done, the prices are better, and you don't have to listen to her personal issues that she can't leave at home, which is more than you can say about the previous owner. I am not Asian, and my hair is very difficult to cut and it is hard to find a good stylist that knows how to cut it. I'm very pleased with Alante.
- Pros: Good prices, Nice employees, good haircuts
- Cons: Nothing bad to say
