Terrible customer service

I was overcharged for my services. The stylist did not know how to correct the charge. Neither did the receptionist. I was told several times the problem would be fixed. It wasn't. I have now made several...

Lacking in the Customer Service department

After three different visits, each with a different stylist, I am officially done with Avante. My first visit was scheduled with the owner, Natasha, since I was getting over 10 inches cut off to donate to...

Courtney did a great job.

I went to this salon for the first time last Friday. Although the salon wasn't as nice as other Aveda salons, I found the staff to be very friendly. Courtney cut my hair and did a great job. First she sat me...

Great find in Avondale

Yes Yes Yes, Being new to Jacksonville but an older Aveda fan I decided to try Avante in Avondale. I was use to the Aveda points of difference and was sure I would never see it again after leaving Ohio. To my...

Avoid this salon

As a new resident to the Jacksonville community, I was hopeful that this salon would be a place I could go to permanently from now on. The staff was eager to get me in the door for an appointment, but once I...

Lauren was great.

Today I went to get highlights with Lauren, and it was a great experience. I didn't feel like she was in a hurry to get to her next client, which was a VERY nice switch to my prior experiences at other aveda...

One of the saddest displays of customer service I have ever seen

Ok-did I walk into the same salon as some of the others reviewing this salon? The address is correct...it's the same salon. Ok-yes I got my great cup of tea...as all Aveda salons offer. The receptionist was...

Yelp.com Review - by Natalie B.

3.0 of 5 stars. I went here primarily because I had become slightly addicted to Aveda products when I lived in Chicago. I didn't know anything about the stylists or atmosphere. I do remember that when I used to walk...

Great Salon - saved my hair!

As a newbie in the Jacksonville area, my first salon experience left me with patchy color and an uneven cut. I went to Avante for corrective color, and haven't gone anywhere else since. From the start of my...

Amazing Salon.

As I expected from an Aveda Salon, Avante' was like stepping into a vacation. I am very cautious when choosing who colors my hair, and she did the most amazing work I've seen in a long time. These sculptors...

Excellent Personalized Service

I recently moved to Jacksoville, and my first salon experience here was a bad one. After reading the mixed reviews about Avante, I was a bit wary of making an appointment there. However, I am a big fan of...

Don't be suckered into this salon

This salon aspires to be exclusive but falls way short of the mark. The owner/manager butted into my consultation and was on the verge of being snippy, not with the stylist but with me. The stylist was not a...

no high pressure sales pitch on products

One of the highest priorities when relocating to a new area (I moved here from NY over a year ago) is to find a great hair salon and colorist/stylist. After many misses I was finally rewarded by discovering...

Nuisance

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with some of these reviews. I gave the salon the benefit of the doubt after reading some bad reviews and have to agree I wouldn't go back. I wasn't having a bad day, I'm not...

A Place to Get Away and RELAX

Immediately when I walked in I was greeted and offered a beverage. The Aveda Comforting Tea, as they call it, was so good that I had to buy some. Walking in I just expected to go straight to get shampooed;...

As I walked into the salon they practicly attacked me, and put some tea in my face and told me it was part of the experience. Then the receptionist told me my hair stylist was running late, before I knew it I...

I was in the salon receiving another service, trying to decide if this was a place I could get my hair services also. The owner of the salon was working on a client. If I was that client I would never return....

I didn't find the staff friendly. Actually, I take that back - they were very friendly to each other. They acted like I was interrupting them. They didn't sweep the hair from the person before me and there was...
