Editorial Review for Avant Salon and Day Spa – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
The spa is larger than the storefront leads one to believe. Comfortable seating allows guests to relax and sip complimentary beverages as they wait for their appointments. Soft lighting plus rose bouquets and candles complete the experience. The spa contains massage rooms, plus stations for services including pedicures and manicures, each performed with all-natural products. Stylists in the sometimes-hectic adjoining hair salon effortlessly design creative cuts.

I have been going to Avant for over 10 years and have watched them grow and win award after award. I noticed many years ago, that Avant Stylist are never hired from other salons, rather always trained in house. Recently the recession effected me hard, and i lost my job. With Thanksgiving approaching, I recieved an Email about Avants training classes. Being desperate for a haircut, i gave it a try. I just want to say "I love my haircut". Arron impressed me with his talent. I will be back! Hopefully I will get a new job before he gets too expensive.
Pros: Aveda, Great Staff, Austin Original
Cons: not cheap ....

I am the type of person who enjoys walking into a salon and telling any stylist the basic changes I want (i.e. short, growing it out, highlights, single color process, etc.) but after a disaster with a new stylist at a SOSO salon, I've become a little more detailed about my hair preferences. I started seeing Laura who was referred to me through a friend and I am so happy to have found a stylist that understands me again! I give her basics (short, layers, no layers) and tell her other contributing information (I often air-dry my hair and when it's short it's poufy) and she goes from there. I've avoided going for any bobs lately because my hair gets poufy but we talked it over and I ended up with one of the best haircuts ever! Even after the cut had essentially grown out, I continued to get compliments. All of the stylists I encountered at Avant were friendly and personable. The salon has the appearance of a more snooty environment, but everyone there is fun and down-to-earth (as much as stylists can be). I definitely recommend this salon....especially Laura!!
Pros: Austins most talented and best educated staff and the use Aveda.
Cons: I live in South Austin, I will have to take a chance on Avants new SouthPark Meadows location.
