Great salon, not a snooty place, even though it is on Newbury Street. I love John Dion he does a wonderful job with my frizzy Irish hair. I can highly recommend this salon and John as well as the rest of the staff.

Highly recommend this salon. Great atmosphere, and stylists are experienced and innovative. You will leave the chair looking refreshed and amazing every time. Best salon in Boston. Trust me, I've done the leg work. My stylist is Rob, he is absolutely amazing! People are constantly asking where I get my hair done and commenting on the color. Everyone at Avanti is awesome, so you really cant go wrong when booking.
I go to Francine at Avanti Hair Studio. She is fantastic. Great hair stylist. Really happy with what she does with my hair. The Avanti Hair Salon I go to is in Yakima, WA. Great Place to get a color or cut
I can highly recommend Inga at Avanti Salon. She has cut my short hair for over 10 years and I am always happy. It is a great studio and everyone is very friendly.
Another phenomenal experience at Avanti. Thank you Betty!
Came here to get a pixy cut and they left way too long and I looked terrible. Plus they were expensive!
7 years since I found Avanti and I'm still going to Julia 3 to 4 times per year! She has taken so many product and color classes in the past couple years that we have been able to try so many fun things with color and tape-in extensions while still keeping with my natural blonde look. Lately we've been adding orange and yellow under my blonde highlights and it looks amazing. I get so many compliments on my hair. Having a great stylist is the most important thing you can do for your appearance. Julia and Avanti keep me looking classy, even in my hoodies and jeans. Love this place!
I have Brazilian waxing done here and I love Vanessa. She's professional but personable.
I always love going to Avanti, its such a classy, beautiful, and clean place. Teresa does my hair and all the stylists here are wonderful and very friendly! I highly recommend you see for yourself!
I have been going to Avanti for over 6 years now to see Rob Martelli and I must say this has been my longest relationship with a man! If you're looking for a great cut or colour, this is your man! He's highly trained and experienced. I have recommended him to clients over the years too and I hear nothing but great things. I always get treated well at Avanti and the shampoo guy Johnathon gives a wonderful massage...and isn't that the best part?! I've also had Rob do my hair in up do's and make up for Halloween. If you're looking for a wedding hairstylist, Rob is also your man. Go...and thank me later!
I always have a great experience at Avanti salon. I live 30 miles outside of Boston and I am happy to make the drive to see my stylist- Rob. Rob is an extremely talented hair stylist. He is a master at color and has gotten my hair the healthiest it has been in years. He has perfected my blonde hair color without the use of bleach. i constantly get compliments on my hair cut and color. Rob is a miracle worker. If you want a stylist that listens and consistently delivers a quality cut and color, Rob should be your choice. He is fabulous! He is what makes my experience at Avanti spectacular.
I was very happy with my service and to be able to help the Boston Children's Hospital. I will see you probably in June. Thanks, Andrea Jackson
I have been a client at Avanti for years. My colorist is amazing and people are always asking where/who does my hair (Christine Riley). I am pretty much comfortable going to anyone there for a blow out. I also often get my nails done there and the technician hands down gives one of the best mani/pedis in the Boston area for a very reasonable price (less than the spas but more than the Asian places). Needless to say the location is great too.
WHY DO THE MAJORITY OF THESE REVIEWS TALK ABOUT A BOSTON SALON.
I moved to Boston last summer and my NYC stylist recommended Alex Stephen at Avanti. I loved my stylist and was nervous about a new person. Alex didn't disappoint. He does the best cut as well as color. I am so happy to have found a great salon here in Boston.
