I traveled from Northern Maine to Boston, for the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. I needed to do something with my hair, but I still wanted it to look cute, besides just a basic pony tail (my specialty.) Brian did an amazing job with my hair. I cannot wait to go back to the salon. All of the staff I encountered were wonderful. I am already planning on booking my next appointment, as soon as possible.

Avanti is a fantastic salon, the owner is warm and friendly. The stylists are fabulous, especially Jonathan...he gave me an excellent cut and phenomenal blowout. A+

Was looking for a salon that met my schedule needs. I was able to book an appointment the day of (they were quiet on a Monday evening) and barely waited once I got there to be seen. I have very thick hair in the back that is hard to tame, and I've rarely been actively happy about the way hairdressers cut/layer that part of my hair but Audrey was amazing and layered it to look exactly how I wanted with minimal day-to-day styling needed on my end. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

I have been going to the Avanti Salon for a number of years now and each time is a total pleasure. The very friendly staff is universally attentive to making you comfortable and insuring that your visit meets all of your expectations. Stylist Nancy Binder is truly an artist!

I've been going to Priscilla at Avanti for several years now, and I have never been so happy before with a hair stylist. I moved to New York about three years ago and have been traveling to Boston every few months to get my hair cut -- she's just that good. I'm extremely picky when it comes to haircuts, and when I was living in Boston I went to one stylist after another to find somebody I liked. Some were fine, but I was never thrilled with the results. And I had one absolutely HORRIFIC cut before I finally found Priscilla. She helped me grow out the horrendous layers from that awful haircut, and even after the first cut Priscilla gave me, I was so much happier with the way my hair looked. She really helped me grow out that cut gracefully, and I've just been happier and happier with my hair every time I see her.
Priscilla is, quite simply, the best at what she does. I highly recommend her. She's a little pricey ($90) but pretty standard when it comes to downtown Boston and TOTALLY worth it. Priscilla really understands hair and gives you a cut that works with your hair type, lifestyle, and styling preferences. I have pretty thick, long, curly hair (and a weird widow's peak thing going on in the front), which many stylists seem to have trouble dealing with or fight against it (so it looks fine straightened when I leave the salon but then once it's in its naturally curly state just doesn't work). But she gives me a cut that looks good both straight and curly. So if you have curly hair, you'll love her. She just knows what she's doing, and I trust her completely. She's also very sweet, easy to talk to, and really seems to care about her clients. As long as I live in the northeast area, I will not go to anyone else to get my hair cut.
