    I had the pleasure of having Eddie as my hairstylist, and he did an amazing job. With my thin and fine hair, it's always a challenge to get a good haircut, but Eddie listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. The service cost $160 (plus tip, close to $200 dollars) for a haircut, treatment on my ends, blowout and styling, truly worth every penny! Which by the way they tell you the price right up front so no surprises. I already booked my touch-up appointment with Eddie and highly recommend him for anyone with thin and fine hair!

    My daughter has wanted to have balayage done on her hair for a few years now. I was very hesitant to have her do this hair treatment since she has Virgin hair. Marcelo was recommended by a friend. Her hair came out beautiful and just how she envisioned it. He took the time to talk to her and see what her vision for her hair was and helped her make the right decision based on her hair type and the fact that it had never been treated. He was very patient and explained the process with her. The final result was beautiful and he also explained to her how to take care of her hair so it would last and not dry out or loose it’s color. Thank you Marcelo for a wonderful experience. Will definitely be back.

    I couldn’t be happier with the results!! I was super scared to bleach my hair as I have very fine hair, but Rafael did an amazing job! I highly recommend him! He is super talented and professional. Thank you one more time!

    It was my first time at the salon and I was very well received, the people were very friendly and polite. The space is incredible! Andy was the one who took care of my hair and he is a great professional and took care of all my requests. I'm in love with my hair style.

    It was my first time in the salon and I had a wonderful experience. Andy did my hair and he is just the BEST. He is amazing with hair coloring and one of the thing I love the most about him is that he takes the time to ask you want you want and to answer all your questions! He does an incredible job! I highly recommend it. People in the salon is also super nice and friendly! Thanks

    This is by far the best salon I have been to in Miami. I always had a hard time finding a hair salon that I liked and I am so happy that I found it here. Annie did my hair cut and blow dry. She was so incredibly nice and made me feel comfortable. I have always been insecure about my hair and she addressed all my concerns and listened to me. She educated me on my hair type and suggested the haircut that was best for me (no hair stylist has ever done that for me). My hair has never looked this good or felt this healthy before I met Annie. I also had a consultation with Andy for hair botox/soft keratin since I have very frizzy hair and she was so nice and informed me about the process and my hair concerns. I didn’t feel pressured to do the treatment but I do plan on going back. She even gave me a sample which no salon has ever done. I cannot thank both of them enough for their kindness and setting on the path of hitting my hair goals and I look forward to seeing both of them in the future.

    I always forget to write reviews, but I had to make sure I wrote one for Avant Garde. They did not ask me, they are just so great I felt like I needed to. Everyone at this salon is amazing! Moving from NYC to Miami I was worried about finding my go to place for my hair. I tried a few places in the area and this is by far my favorite salon. Marcelo has been doing my hair extensions and color for about a year and a half and he is amazing. He really is an artist! He cares about not only making your hair look absolutely gorgeous, but also the overall health of your hair as well. My hair even without the extensions in is the longest it’s ever been. Alex does my keratin and does such a great job. He is also such a pleasure to chat with. The time always flies when he is doing my hair. Same with many of the other people that work there. Andrea frequently blows out and styles my hair and she is so fun to sit and chat with. I love how she styles my hair. Evelyn does my eyebrows and does a great job. Christine and everyone at the front desk are always accommodating and professional. I could go on naming other amazing staff at the salon, but it is a long list. I can not say enough great things about this salon. The prices aren’t cheap, but they are fair and trust me they do a phenomenal job and well worth the money!

    My experience at this salon was truly exceptional from start to finish. From the warm welcome I received upon my initial phone call to the friendly receptionist greeting me upon arrival, every detail was top-notch. Eddie, my stylist, exceeded all expectations. He not only greeted me warmly but also listened attentively to my requests, delivering precisely the haircut and blow dry I desired. I am thrilled with the results and can confidently say that I've found my go-to salon for all future hair appointments. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a fantastic hairdressing experience.

    Hello Christine. I love your salon and I love Sharon! She is very talented and super professional. Thanks 🙏🏼

    Beautiful salon! Sharon was amazing! She did my hair and makeup and both lasted all night! I have curly frizzy hair and she really did a great job. She is so nice and funny and made me feel so beautiful! The customer service is incredible! Had the best cappuccino as well. Will be back soon!

    I absolutely love my experiences with Sharon! She’s truly the best—her hair skills are magical. She knows exactly what my hair type needs (and what it doesn’t), always delivering amazing results. I can't recommend her enough!

    Jorge was awesome! Love the vibes of the salon and the customer service. I was very happy with my results and will be coming back.

    When I went in, I told them I wanted a honey-brown color with well-defined money pieces in the front. I was told we could do this, and a price was shared with me which included this and a cut and style with blowdry. In my opinion, the end result is very streaky and more of a traditional highlight than the blend that was promised, and the front blends into the rest of my hair. It came out quite warm and yellow, which I was told was because of previous color. I wish a better attempt was made to tone this. I was able to tone it a bit with Olaplex at home before coming into work, since it was overly warm and clashed with my natural hair. I included pictures of what I got vs the picture I showed for what I wanted. Besides the color and placement being off, they insisted on cutting the very tips of my hair and I left the salon with damp hair ( I was charged the full amount for a haircut and blowdry styling). Update: I spoke with the very kind owner of the salon, and she offered to fix my hair as a complimentary service. She scheduled me with Justina, and I can confidently say that she did an AMAZING job!!! Ever since then, I have received countless compliments on my new hair.

    This was my first time at the salon. I selected the salon after reading extensive reviews and following posts on IG of the various stylists. My experience confirms why the reviews are consistent! Everyone was very nice. My appointment was scheduled with Jorge. He took his time listening to what I was looking for, my hair condition, his suggestions, and how to best accomplish it. The outcome on the color and style was exactly what I was looking for, and my hair is actually healthy! I'm so happy!

    Took me a month to write a review, sorry! I came here after an extremely bad dye job at another salon six months prior had left my hair in an extremely bad shape and me feeling very scared and jumpy about any kind of salon. I had been looking for salons for months trying to find somewhere that could fix it and I saw this place near to my house and decided to give it a try. Walked in and everyone was so nice and attentive. To reassure my nerves Christine suggested I do a consultation with Jorge who would be my stylist before the actual appointment. Everything went wonderfully and I really appreciate the way they tell you how much the services will cost upfront instead of letting you guess at the end. My actual appointment was so enjoyable; they have a selection of drinks available for you to sip while you wait but I didn't have to wait long at all! Jorge was extremely knowledgeable in color and specializes in ginger/copper which is what I wanted. Leonardo was also super attentive when washing and styling my hair. And my hair came out great! It was an ugly faded green at the tips and they managed to even it out to this beautiful ginger color!! It is a bit pricey but to soothe my fears I was willing to pay a little more, and the price does reflect the amazing service and attention you receive at this salon. I will be coming back!! Thank you everyone!!

    I can not rave about this place enough. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming. The first thing I loved is that I was able to have a consultation so Aldo and I could discuss my options after needing my hair fixed. Aldo restored my confidence. He is so skilled and has amazing customer service. I will be returning and would recommend the salon and Aldo to anyone looking for a professional hair stylist with years of experience and knowledge!

    So I did a thing… I went to Avant-Garde Salon and had my first appointment with Alex… see before and after pictures below. Not only is he the sweetest and most professional person but his hands are made of gold! Thank you so much for not only the perfect cut I have been wanting for months, but also the incredible experience of feeling heard and valued as a customer and person. I will be back!

    Amazing costumer service, great coffee and the best hair color I have had in years. I get so many compliments after Jorge did the color!

  • 5/5 Eden T. 11 months ago on Google
    Justina is a truly amazing colorist. I was thrilled when I moved from San Francisco to Miami and found out my colorist was moving as well. It’s been 4 years and I would never have another person touch my hair. I have super fine, long hair that is very hard to apply color to in a way that looks natural. I have gone from a full blond to highlights, painting and toning. Lately, Justina has brought me from various shades of blond back to my natural color but better. It’s everything I always wanted my natural hair to look like but with depth and light in the most flattering places. She paints my hair with the most beautiful natural looking result. She has always heard my preferences and guided me in adding color and extensions. She is a master of applying color and I have been thrilled with each application. I have never left unhappy and have recommended her to many different people with various hair textures who have always reported that she really is that good.

  • 5/5 Hope B. 10 months ago on Google
    I initially came in to get my roots touched up. They were grown out 5-6 inches and not blended well at all. I was nervous about this salons capabilities in doing a good blonde color but Justina did a fantastic job with matching my roots and blending with my already existing blonde hair. We worked over 2 sessions to get my final look just right and I love it. Would highly recommend Justina, she is easy to talk to and made the process enjoyable!

  • 5/5 Ruta S. 10 months ago on Google
    I had an amazing experience at avant-garde salon! The staff was so incredibly attentive and Rafael is a magician. My hair has never looked so good. I left the salon in complete awe and got so many compliments. I cannot recommend this salon enough. I’ll be a client for life.

  • 5/5 Loyo, G. 1 year ago on Google
    They people working there were very attentive and kind. The saloon exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to go there again. For the price that it is, it was worth the money. I got the haircut I expected to go out with. Highly recommend this saloon for people who don’t want their hair ruined after growing it for sometime. Even for guys.

  • 5/5 Amanda A. 10 months ago on Google
    Indy did an amazing job on my Balayage! He was able to fit an appointment in last minute and was very accommodating. So friendly and very efficient. My hair has never looked better! 10/10 recommend :))

  • 5/5 Juan G. 11 months ago on Google
    I'ts been 7 years since I had a haircut so I was nervous when I visited the salon. From the second I walked in they made me feel welcomed. I had the pleasure to have my hair cut by Andrea. She was amazing. I got a hair treatment and a haircut that took around two hours and the whole time she made sure I was comfortable. When she finished it exceeded my expectations, It was perfect. I will definitely be coming back.

  • 2/5 Angela V. 4 weeks ago on Google • 1 review New
    I am very disappointed with this salon. I wanted to go from blonde to a warm brown. After talking to the stylist I thought we were on the same page. Not only was double booked so my color took forever, when I got home I realized my hair has a green hue to it. My root touch up does not match the rest of my hair. I will call them on Monday and ask for a repair and I hope they will help.
