Alex is always friendly and welcoming and made sure I wanted to change the colour my hair was a number of times before applying the dye. She also corrected the colour when it hadn't come out exactly as we hoped, communication was there throughout and she didn't stop until she was happy with the end product. Great hairdresser and always makes me feel at ease.

I am 71 years old, so have been to many hairdressers in my lifetime. Since coming to Avant Garde I can honestly say for the first time in my life I am happy with the way my hair looks. It is baby fine and sparse. Jodie has been wonderful in suggesting cuts, colour and styles to suit my hair type. She listens and takes note of what I would like and offers advice. So pleased to have found her and have recommended Avant Garde to many friends.

Alex has made me feel welcome from the second I set foot in the door, she always asks if I am happy and gives advise on what she thinks would be best for my hair. If the colour doesn't match exactly as I thought she will do whatever she can to correct it until I am pleased with the result. Can't recommend her enough.

I’m very upset following my appointment today. I didn’t feel listened to and I’m thoroughly disappointed with the outcome. I’m used to having my hair cut a certain way as both my parents were hairdressers and £150 later, not only have I come home in tears, my confidence has taken a hit. This is not how I’ve felt after previous appointments.
