I have been going to Avant Garde for 30+ years. I first started visiting the Salon when I lived in Wellingborough. I now live in a small village in Leicestershire and travel some 50mins to the Salon. Miki has been my permanent Stylist for the last 2+ years, although when my previous Stylist went on maternity leave Miki always took over from her. I receive so many compliments regarding the cut and colour of my Hair. She is great! All the staff are very friendly and professional. The new premises are great and very easy to park. They also make a great cup of tea/coffee!

Natasha has been cutting my hair for several years. She always takes time to ask how I've been managing my hair and if I have any concerns or questions, before discussing how my hair will be styled and cut on each occasion. Natasha, as well as the rest of the staff, are welcoming, professional and efficient. Everyone works hard to ensure that I always have a positive experience and am satisfied with their service. I would highly recommend Avant Garde. In fact, my daughter-in-law and granddaughter both visit the salon regularly now, having previously had their hair cut elsewhere. Thank you to everyone!

I honestly can’t recommend Alex highly enough. From that very first appointment, when daughter was only three and quite nervous, Alex was absolutely amazing. She immediately put her at ease with such warmth, patience and kindness, making what could have been a daunting experience feel fun and special.
Since that first visit, every appointment has been just as lovely. Alex always takes the time to chat, explain what she’s doing in a child-friendly way, and make my daughter feel like a princess. What started as nerves has turned into pure excitement. She now looks forward to her haircuts and talks nonstop about getting her “princess hair” done!
It’s so clear that Alex genuinely cares about making children feel comfortable and confident, and that makes all the difference. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. She’s simply wonderful with kids (and adults) and brilliant at what she does.
