Sarah has cut and coloured my hair a couple of times now and I’m always so pleased with the result. She’s lovely to deal with and always keeps me updated on what part of the process we are at during my appointment. Avant Garde is my new regular salon x

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Becky. I haven’t been to AG for a couple of years now (haven’t been anywhere else) and was nervous about coming back for a wax but seeing Becky again; it was like seeing an old friend. She’s always made me feel so at ease and I would recommend her 100%. Thank you! xx

Revisited for eyebrow microblade top up.
The original visit was over a year ago.
Very pleased with the result, due to age related hair loss, my eyebrows were very sparse but Chiara has given me new ones, which is such a boost, great customer care, i felt very cosseted and looked after
