Love going to Avant Garde. Sarah as always did the most amazing job of my hair today transforming me from very blonde to much darker. Always so happy to spend the afternoon there as the staff are all amazing and the service is second to none. I highly recommend.

Always look forward to seeing Jodie! She’s always patient and kind to my mum too. People are always asking who cuts my hair and a man said to me ‘ I am a hairdresser and I know a good cut when I see one. And that’s a good cut. Thanks Jodie.

Natasha has been my stylist for about a decade now and I have been going to Avant Garde for even longer than that.
Natasha always styles my hair perfectly and is great to talk to. She makes sure that I will leave happy with a great haircut.
The environment is always cosy and everyone is polite and professional.
There is always a warm drink available if you want it.
Due to all of the above, I have never looked anywhere else!

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!

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!
