I usually have Alex cut my hair, but she’s away so I had another lady. Who was very nice,she cut my hair, as I asked for it to be done so everything was good. Somebody had to come and check her work which wasn’t a problem which I’d rather just in case, that everything was good. She done a good job and she was very friendly..

I received a wonderful gift voucher as a christmas gift and was excited to use it just to be told that i couldn’t as it had expired! No expiration date is noted on the voucher and in fact there is no information that comes with it whatsoever. Ruins what is supposed to be a nice gesture. Granted I could have used it sooner but knowing when I needed to schedule it in by would’ve helped! Been scammed of £70 plus the additional £40 I unexpectedly ended up paying!!

The appointment was professional friendly helpful and I felt very relaxed. Both Jess and Jodie were keen to understand what I was really looking for. And took their time to decide on the colours nothing felt rushed and I feel much better now I’ve had my haircut so well.

In terms of cost I would imagine it’s comparable to many of the salons of a similar calibre the atmosphere in the salon is friendly and professional and Courtney on reception was helpful as always

Unfortunately I didn’t have a very good experience today.
Morgan did a very good job of colouring my hair. However, when my hair was washed my top got wet and also my hair was still wet and wasn’t fully dried because the stylist was called away before finishing. Another stylist was called to finish off.
Unfortunately, I left feeling unsatisfied with the service as the appointment didn’t feel complete. I’d appreciate it if this could be looked into, as I was expecting my hair to be properly finished before leaving without feeling that I inconvenienced the staff for a service that I am paying for.
Thank you.

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!
