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.

AVOID THIS SALON AND CARRIE ANNE
by damehrtens at Citysearch
I WAS NEW IN AUSTIN AND HAD NEVER HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE IN AN AVEDA SALON BEFORE. AVANT GAVE ME BAD COLOR AND A BAD HAIR CUT THAT COST ME A FORTUNE TO HAVE IT CORRECTED. FOR THE SAME PRICE TRY KEITH KRISTOPHER SALON. THIS SALON USES BETTER PRODUCTS....NOT AVEDA....AVEDA PRODUCTS ARE TRULY BECOMING OBSOLETE......THER ARE TOO MANY TALENTED TECHNICIANS IN AUSTIN TO WAIST YOUR TIME AT MEDIOCRE SALONS LIKE AVANT. I TOO DID NOT WANT TO GIVE ANY STARS...
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: INEPT TECHNICIANS

Worst Management!!!!! Ever!!!!
by lexyjane01 at Citysearch
I received a gift certificate for $100 when I first moved to Austin, I called to make an appointment, the front desk was very rude...being in the beauty business myself, I understand people can have rough days. I called to make an appt the second time because they couldn't fit me in the the first, they couldn't find my gift certificate. I wanted to check because I know my friend bought it for me several months prior! I have met Svetlana, the manager, on several occasions, both, being in the beauty business, so I emailed her to ask a management perspective, I really wanted to use my $100, that my best friend 1500 miles away bought for me!....no repsonse.....I emailed a second time....no response....I left several messages with the front desk staff....still nothing??? Apparently Avant doesn't care about customers...or must not be hurting for business...or doesn't want to honor gift certificates! If salon workers be wary....then real patrons should be extra wary....if you can't trust people that are in the same business as you? Then how can you trust them with your service?
- Pros: Couldn't Tell
- Cons: Management! Svetlana!!!
