Took a chance on a salon I’d never been to before, and it totally paid off! Rafael was absolutely amazing—so kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. He immediately understood the style I was going for and replicated it perfectly. I really appreciated how meticulous he was—he even extended the appointment from 45 minutes to almost 90 just to make sure everything was perfect. I left feeling so happy with the result. Definitely coming back!

I love this place! Crissi was the curly hair stylist that took amazing care of me. I’m really picky about who cuts my hair. But she did the best job! Really listened to what I wanted, offered tips for my curls along the way, I love my style and it’s super healthy now. Will be back! ALL of the staff and stylists are amazing. This is your sign that this new salon for sure.

Cristina is the absolute best person who has ever done my hair. My hair was 4 different colors when I walked into the salon and she was able to make it uniform. I get compliments everywhere I go, the mall, restaurants and from friends, have never gotten so many compliments on my hair. She is the most talented hair stylist that has ever done my hair. So glad I came to Avant Gard will never stop coming here!!!

I had a great haircut experience with Rafael! He was professional, friendly, and really took the time to understand what I wanted. The attention to detail was impressive, and I left feeling fresh and confident. Highly recommend him if youre looking for a skilled and reliable stylist!

“An Incredible Hair Transformation with Daniel Moran!”I recently had the pleasure of getting my hair bleached and color-changed by Daniel Moran, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment I walked in, Daniel made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision. He took the time to assess my hair, explain the process, and ensure that my hair stayed as healthy as possible throughout the transformation.His expertise in bleaching and color work is truly impressive—my hair turned out vibrant, evenly toned, and exactly the shade I envisioned. Not only does he have an incredible eye for detail, but his professionalism and passion for his craft are evident in every step of the process.If you’re looking for a skilled and knowledgeable stylist who can deliver stunning hair transformations while keeping your hair in top condition, I highly recommend Daniel Moran. I’m aabsolutely in love with my new look, and I can’t wait to return for my next color adventure.

Eddy trimmed my hair today and he did an excellent job!! He was super friendly and professional. You can tell he knows what he’s doing and I loved how my hair turned out. I highly recommend asking for Eddy if you go here! Also everyone there is super professional and talented. It is a bit expensive but it’s worth the extra money in my opinion. I spent $85 (not including tip) for a bang trim, and wash, and blowout.

Avant Garde Salon in Coral Gables exceeded all my expectations! I came in looking for a vibrant red hair color transformation, and they truly delivered. The color is rich, radiant, and exactly what I envisioned. The stylist also gave me a beautiful cut that frames my face perfectly, and the blow-dry left my hair silky, voluminous, and full of life. The team is professional, attentive, and made sure every detail was flawless. If you’re looking for a top-notch salon experience with stunning results, Avant Garde is the place to go!

I have been coming to this salon for over 8 years, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! With the new administration and front desk (Dany and Yohana) it makes my day here even better. Yasel is my stylist, and i look forward to doing my hair. Whenever i come here, Yasel and all the stylists make my day and make me feel special.

I feel like I have won the lottery with Avant-Garde. I am a creature of habit and have been afraid to try anyone new with my hair. But finding Cristina (who is a magician with naturally curly hair) and Rafael (who got my fun color exactly how I’ve wanted it for years) has been the best thing that’s happened to my hair in 30 years!

Review 11 (2025-03-22 - Rating: 5)
I love coming to see Aldo!!! He’s truly an artist. I’ve been seeing him for years and he’s an amazing colorist. I’ve done blonde, brunette, highlights, gray coverage, and more. No matter the challenge, he always pulls it off beautifully. I don’t go to anyone else! 10/10 would recommend!

I cant recommend Cristina enough! She is an amazing hairstylist with a true gift for making my hair look stunning while keeping it healthy. Ive been seeing her for the past year, and the transformation in my hair has been incredible. Not only has it grown longer, but it also feels stronger and healthier than ever before.Cristina is a true professional, with an eye for detail and a deep understanding of hair care. She always knows exactly what my hair needs, whether it’s a trim, color, or treatment, and I leave each appointment feeling fabulous.Beyond her skills, Cristina has such a beautiful and vibrant energy that makes every visit feel like a refreshing experience. She uplifts your mood and makes you feel so at ease. She truly goes above and beyond, and Im so grateful to have found her.

I had the best haircut and color experience ever!Rafael, was incredibly attentive and listened to what I wanted. I’am really happy with the results. I highly recommend him! He truly has a great eye for color and style, he took good care of my hair!

Review 14 (2025-03-26 - Rating: 5)
I’m absolutely flabbergasted (in the best way possible) by the transformation Rafael and Arturo gave me at this salon! Rafael worked pure magic with my color—it’s vibrant, rich, and perfectly suited to me. Arturo followed with a haircut that brought everything together; it’s stylish, flattering, and just what I didn’t know I needed. I walked in looking for a change and walked out feeling like a completely new person. They’re true artists, and the whole experience was beyond what I imagined. Can’t recommend them enough!

Review 15 (2025-03-06 - Rating: 5)
I ONLY use Justina for color treatment! Her superior technique has left me FLAWLESS every time I’ve wanted to try something new. My hair is SO soft and So shiny, on top of dynamic hair color and voluminous layers. She is sweet, kind hearted and provides unparalleled service. And she never forgets my latte! Using anyone else would be a mistake. Just hope she has space for you. She is in high demand!! Love this girl. You will too!

Aldo has been doing my hair for over a year now and he is absolutely amazing! I always get a full head of highlights and he is the first stylist I have been able to see hair growth with while still getting my hair done. I always leave absolutely obsessed with my hair and how light it looks!

Review 18 (2025-01-02 - Rating: 5)
Justina is an amazing hair colorist! She transformed my hair into this gorgeous red that is not only vibrant and dimensional but is also in extremely healthy shape!! She not only matched the reference photo I showed her, but she made it look even better than I could’ve wanted! A true master of her craft!! I’ve never colored my hair before and now I can’t imagine going back to my natural hair tone!! I highly recommend visiting Justina if you’re in Miami!! She’s the best at what she does!!Jorge also did my haircut and he chopped off my dead ends and added some new layers to bring my hair back to life!!

Review 19 (2024-12-23 - Rating: 5)
I can’t recommend Jay enough! He lightened my hair by two levels and delivered stunning results. Jay is truly a master of his craft—confident, skilled, and unafraid to take on a challenge. His expertise and precision are unmatched, and his ability to bring a vision to life is incredible.While the salon itself has a great environment—welcoming, stylish, and comfortable—what truly makes it exceptional is the professionals they hire and the unique skillsets they bring to the table. Jay is the perfect example of this.Beyond his technical abilities, Jay’s energy is absolutely infectious. He’s vibrant, passionate, and a joy to work with. His enthusiasm and creativity are evident in every appointment, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He makes every session fun and inspiring, creating an experience that goes beyond just getting your hair done.I’ve been coming to Jay for about 2-3 years, and he never fails to amaze me. He is a true master stylist/colorist/artist!! :)

This salon is amazing. I fly from San Francisco to Miami just to get my hair done here. Wouldn’t trust anyone else. Thank you so much, Marcelo! The hosts, lovely people washing your hair (free head massage!), and the most talented stylists are so worth the high price tag. You all are truly amazing, and the essence of you get what you pay for!!!

I’ve been visiting the Avante-Garde salon for years and get the best results. The standard is always consistent unlike few other salons I’ve tried in the Gables that left more to be desired even at a higher price point. The stylist I keep going back to is Justina Det. She’s exceptional at her job with a high level of service. I travel a lot and at times return with some hair color experiments gone wrong and Justina is able to revive my hair making them shiny and looking healthy.

I’ve been going to Avant Garde Salon for years, and it always feels like home. Marcelo is truly amazing—his attention to detail and talent are unmatched! He always knows exactly what I need and makes every visit special. The salon has such a warm and welcoming vibe. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair!

Review 23 (2025-03-12 - Rating: 5)
I have been going to see Yasel for four years! He is the master of balayage and beautiful flattering color. He is professional, honest, and an expert in making gradual big changes (he took me from brown to very blonde). His assistants Joanna and Danny are so helpful and sweet, the Marilyn at the front desk is always polite and accommodating. I love that I bring my dog with me and all of the other stylists give her pets she is so happy to come to Avante Garde with me. I recommend Yasel to everyone I know!

Review 24 (2022-09-24 - Rating: 5)
Anthony is AMAZING! Saved my hair! He is an absolute professional stylist. Anthony is the only person who was able to take his time, listen to my concerns, corrected and transformed my hair into what I envisioned.The salon is beautiful with a very welcoming atmosphere. Greeted very warmly by all staff members. I absolutely cannot recommend this salon enough. Great experience all around.I am in love with my hair. Thank you!!

Review 25 (2025-02-07 - Rating: 5)
I cant say enough great things about the salon and especially Cristina. She is supremely talented, explained the whole balayage process in detail, and is a all-around delightful human being. I did many services this week with Cristina, including the balayage, lowlights, roots, gloss, cut and style. Its truly the best color Ive ever had in my life. I never felt rushed as Cristina only books one client at a time and no pressure to buy products or additional services. Wonderful experience and highly recommended!

Review 26 (2024-06-18 - Rating: 5)
I had the pleasure of having Eddie as my hairstylist, and he did an amazing job. With my thin and fine hair, its always a challenge to get a good haircut, but Eddie listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. The service cost $160 (plus tip, close to $200 dollars) for a haircut, treatment on my ends, blowout and styling, truly worth every penny! Which by the way they tell you the price right up front so no surprises. I already booked my touch-up appointment with Eddie and highly recommend him for anyone with thin and fine hair!

The service at this salon is superb! YasselTook care of me today. I had highlights and hair botox done. I am very happy with the outcome. You can tell right away the salon uses the best products. Staff is very nice and Yassel is awesome!

When I went in, I told them I wanted a honey-brown color with well-defined money pieces in the front. I was told we could do this, and a price was shared with me which included this and a cut and style with blowdry. In my opinion, the end result is very streaky and more of a traditional highlight than the blend that was promised, and the front blends into the rest of my hair. It came out quite warm and yellow, which I was told was because of previous color. I wish a better attempt was made to tone this. I was able to tone it a bit with Olaplex at home before coming into work, since it was overly warm and clashed with my natural hair. I included pictures of what I got vs the picture I showed for what I wanted. Besides the color and placement being off, they insisted on cutting the very tips of my hair and I left the salon with damp hair ( I was charged the full amount for a haircut and blowdry styling).Update: I spoke with the very kind owner of the salon, and she offered to fix my hair as a complimentary service. She scheduled me with Justina, and I can confidently say that she did an AMAZING job!!! Ever since then, I have received countless compliments on my new hair.

It was my first time in the salon and I had a wonderful experience. Andy did my hair and he is just the BEST. He is amazing with hair coloring and one of the thing I love the most about him is that he takes the time to ask you want you want and to answer all your questions! He does an incredible job! I highly recommend it. People in the salon is also super nice and friendly! Thanks

Review 32 (2024-11-23 - Rating: 5)
Top tier salon with exceptional service. From the start to the finish. My hair has been such an anxiety inducing topic but I felt very comfortable with Andrea and Yuna. Andrea is extremely knowledgeable in hair health and able to teach you about your specific hair needs to prepare you for your hair goals. Zasil is so welcoming and kind as well. Can’t stop speaking about how happy I am to have gone.

Review 33 (2025-03-22 - Rating: 5)
Justina absolutely slayed my balayage. It’s blended to perfection. My hair did not burn, I got the results I was looking for and she has a bright bubbly personality. I will continue coming back! ✨

I have been doing my nails with Yesenia for about two years now. All the staff is very attentive. Yesenia always does an impeccable job on my nails and they always last me until my next appointment. 100% recommended, she is the best.

It’s not easy to find a great colorist for red heads in Florida especially when you get older and you have white roots. Elena is fabulous and I highly recommend her. She’s also a very kind caring woman who cares very much about her clients.

So I did a thing… I went to Avant-Garde Salon and had my first appointment with Alex… see before and after pictures below. Not only is he the sweetest and most professional person but his hands are made of gold! Thank you so much for not only the perfect cut I have been wanting for months, but also the incredible experience of feeling heard and valued as a customer and person. I will be back!

Review 37 (2024-05-28 - Rating: 5)

Gio is a master! Came down from Tampa/St. Pete after Christmas and on a whim, walked in for a well overdue haircut. Before-drab, lifeless; after-so much movement and light. THANK YOU, Gio! I look forward to occupying your chair again soon!

My daughter has wanted to have balayage done on her hair for a few years now. I was very hesitant to have her do this hair treatment since she has Virgin hair. Marcelo was recommended by a friend. Her hair came out beautiful and just how she envisioned it. He took the time to talk to her and see what her vision for her hair was and helped her make the right decision based on her hair type and the fact that it had never been treated. He was very patient and explained the process with her. The final result was beautiful and he also explained to her how to take care of her hair so it would last and not dry out or loose it’s color. Thank you Marcelo for a wonderful experience. Will definitely be back.

I’ve never written a review before but this was necessary. Anthony is hands down the best I’ve ever been to. I’ve never left a salon with what I asked for up until now. I came in with orange streaky hair( from a previous salon), he recommended a balayage with a shadow root and my hair has never looked better. He is thorough, professional, and absolutely phenomenal with hair! The pictures speak volumes. He is the BEST!!!

Gio has been my hairstylist for five years, and I couldn’t be happier! He prepared my hair perfectly for my wedding, working over several sessions to keep it healthy with masks and trims that maintained the length and shape I needed for the style I wanted. His meticulous attention to detail and artistry are unmatched—every cut and treatment is done with care and precision.Not only is Gio exceptional at his craft, but he’s also an amazing person. He makes me feel cared for from the moment I step into the salon until I leave, and our conversations are always a highlight. If you’re looking for a professional who truly loves what he does and cares deeply about his clients, Gio is the one. Thank you for everything, Gio!

I have been living in Miami for over a year now and was hesitant to find a new stylist. I was recommended Avant-Garde Salon & Spa and their stylist, Jay, by a local and it was the best decision. Im glad that I waited! Upon further investigation, Jays Instagram account of his coloring, cutting, and styling skills sold me to make an appointment with him.All of the staff were very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. I could clearly see the great communication and teamwork they all shared. I had the pleasure of getting my hair done by Jay. He is very sweet and friendly and made sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted. He prioritized my comfort and ensured that I had the best salon experience possible. Jay is incredibly talented and professional. In previous experiences at other salons, I was rushed off or passed on to other stylists so the stylist could tend to their next appointment. I did not experience this with Jay. He was present and focused on achieving the perfect color and style from the initial consultation to the final pictures.I will definitely be returning to this salon for future services and products. Trust that you are in good hands with Jay and Avant-Gardes staff, and youll feel great supporting a small business in Miami!

Justina is a truly amazing colorist. I was thrilled when I moved from San Francisco to Miami and found out my colorist was moving as well. It’s been 4 years and I would never have another person touch my hair. I have super fine, long hair that is very hard to apply color to in a way that looks natural. I have gone from a full blond to highlights, painting and toning. Lately, Justina has brought me from various shades of blond back to my natural color but better. It’s everything I always wanted my natural hair to look like but with depth and light in the most flattering places. She paints my hair with the most beautiful natural looking result. She has always heard my preferences and guided me in adding color and extensions. She is a master of applying color and I have been thrilled with each application. I have never left unhappy and have recommended her to many different people with various hair textures who have always reported that she really is that good.

Amazing salon, worth the price. Nice vibe inside, great staff and customer service, and amazing results. Justine did my highlights twice now and it’s my favorite my hair has ever looked, and she helped me with all my questions :) 10/10

I can not rave about this place enough. All of the staff is friendly and welcoming. The first thing I loved is that I was able to have a consultation so Aldo and I could discuss my options after needing my hair fixed. Aldo restored my confidence. He is so skilled and has amazing customer service. I will be returning and would recommend the salon and Aldo to anyone looking for a professional hair stylist with years of experience and knowledge!

I had a wonderful experience at Avant-Garde ! It made me wish I lived in Miami so I could visit more often!! I called on Friday and they were able to see me on Saturday morning— no issues! I am so grateful I was able to be seen so quickly. Andrea really listened to what I envisioned and my hair lasted through the night for the wedding I attended. Thank you again!

Review 52 (2022-12-18 - Rating: 5)
I had the most amazing highlights and balayage done by Anthony! I was previously on the hunt for the best balayage I could find, as I had so many inconsistent experiences with other top salons that would do either great work, then the next time be careless and do terrible work, and even severely damaged my hair and I lost all my length. We all know it can be very scary to blindly search for a dream hair stylist because it can go so badly, so I did SO much due diligence through reviews and pictures, even their instagrams... to finally see consistency in matching what I wanted for myself.I saw the most perfect, beautiful blonde highlights, blending, placement, and tone pictures....constantly coming from reviews about Anthony! I decided I was ready to take my leap of faith and called the Avant Garde salon and was able to schedule an appointment with him. Honestly the ease of the scheduling and their professionalism was a breathe of fresh air as some of the most high end stylists in this area are so difficult to get responses from or book in a reasonable time frame.Anthony was more than I could have hoped for, not only was his skill level and artistry level beyond exceptional, his personality and care is off the charts. He put a lot of time and energy into studying the pictures and knowing exactly what I wanted, and making sure he delivered it. He even noted how my curls forms and did highlights tailoring to them too. He is the opposite of that uncaring, snobby, rushing, gossipy, Ill do it how I feel like it stylist that sometimes we can dread being in their chair, and feel nervous about what results you end up with. He makes it all pleasant and caring, while giving the best results you can find in the industry. Trust me Ive looked! Honestly other salons charge over $700 for the results I saw him give, because of the level of skill and the time he puts into it. So he is a real gem.Im literally writing this review over 6 months after our appointment because I never write reviews, I forget...Im terrible! But I HAD to finally do this one, and now I can ALSO validate that because his coloring was so amazingly blended, its looking just as fantastic growing out and looking natural 6 months later, I still get tons of compliments on it!Thank you Anthony! See you soon!

Best hair salon in Miami! Jorge really took care of me and exceeded my expectations. First we had a consultation and he walked me through my hair type and the color I wanted to do for a Balyage/with highlights. He was able to fit me in on the same day and really took his time with it. I was there from about 11am to 3pm. I’m super happy with the final look and service of this salon. This is now my primary salon and going back here every time I need to prime/blow out or even re-color. Thanks Jorge!

Review 57 (2022-05-07 - Rating: 5)
This was a planned by my boyfriend apt as a Mother’s Day surprise. I was completely in the blind about where I was going or what I was going to be doing. When I got there I must say I was scared because I have trust issues with letting just anyone touch my hair. But as I walked in the the ladies at the counter welcomed me like if I was royalty. They knew who I was due to my boyfriend calling and making this a big deal event for me. They quickly took me back to introduce me to my stylist Jaime. She also brought me a glass of white wine since my boyfriend had mentioned how much I like wine to relax. I must say between the welcoming and the glass of wine I was starting to feel at home and I was getting less anxious. Well let me tell you about Jaime. He is amazing!!! He was so accommodating, showed me colors and suggested what he as a professional thought would work best for me. FYI I hadn’t done my hair in over a year and a half. I was a hot mess! So Jaime quickly got to doing his magic and did my hair from start to finish. He took his time doing my balayage. He cut my hair, colored it, washed it and styled it all himself. He did not send me off to anyone else took care of me himself, I loved that!!! Well I had told him no one ever got the color I wanted correct and my hair always ended up being yellowish. He went above and beyond to make my hair exactly what I wanted. I love my hair truly an out of this world experience. I was so happy with my finished hair I almost cried on the phone with my boyfriend. After I was finished they made me feel like a super model and took pictures of me with my new look. I would totally recommend this salon and Jaime any day. I was 100% fully satisfied with my hair.

I am a natural blonde, my hair started to darken at the roots about six months ago and I have been considering getting highlights for a long time. So I did a lot of research before finding this salon and selecting my hair colorist. This was my first ever experience with highlights and gloss. I was super nervous going in because I had no idea what to expect, but Fabian and his team put my mind at ease right away! He was kind enough to walk me through the entire process and give me helpful tips along the way as well as specific tips for my hair type. I have naturally straight, full, silky fine hair texture that I have always found difficult to manage. Although I rarely have volume or body, Fabian was able to give me the beautiful voluminous textured hair of my dreams. He made sure that I remained comfortable throughout the entire experience and his team was so gentle and friendly when dealing with my hair, I knew that I had made the right decision by coming here! I have never felt so pampered or well taken care of. Thank you so much to the entire staff at Avant Garde Salon for making me feel relaxed and welcomed in your Salon!

Aldo is the best! He gave me exactly the color and cut I wanted and it came out better than expected. He really worked with me to find what would suit me best :)

As always I got a great 5-star manicure and pedicure. However I was disappointed in the 10% price increase for these services as well as being notified that clients using credit cards are now having to pay that processing fee on top of the price increase.

I absolutely love my experiences with Sharon! She’s truly the best—her hair skills are magical. She knows exactly what my hair type needs (and what it doesn’t), always delivering amazing results. I cant recommend her enough!

Always a pleasure when I go to Avant garde to domy hair. The staff is always professional and friendly and make you feel like a queen. Rafael always leave my hair looking beautiful I strongly recommend him for anything. I had natural hair for more than 7 years and wanted to do something different but not to drastic and with low maintenance so he did the balayage and I couldn’t be more happy. He is the best!

This was my first time at the salon. I selected the salon after reading extensive reviews and following posts on IG of the various stylists. My experience confirms why the reviews are consistent!Everyone was very nice. My appointment was scheduled with Jorge. He took his time listening to what I was looking for, my hair condition, his suggestions, and how to best accomplish it. The outcome on the color and style was exactly what I was looking for, and my hair is actually healthy! Im so happy!

I highly recommend Anthony for anything you need, color, style, cut etc.. He is the best. I have been dying my hair for 7 years and Anthony is the only stylist I have been to that gets it perfectly every time. He is so efficient, a great person, and really cares about the result. Thank you Anthony!!

My experience at this salon was truly exceptional from start to finish. From the warm welcome I received upon my initial phone call to the friendly receptionist greeting me upon arrival, every detail was top-notch. Eddie, my stylist, exceeded all expectations. He not only greeted me warmly but also listened attentively to my requests, delivering precisely the haircut and blow dry I desired. I am thrilled with the results and can confidently say that Ive found my go-to salon for all future hair appointments. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a fantastic hairdressing experience.

Took me a month to write a review, sorry! I came here after an extremely bad dye job at another salon six months prior had left my hair in an extremely bad shape and me feeling very scared and jumpy about any kind of salon. I had been looking for salons for months trying to find somewhere that could fix it and I saw this place near to my house and decided to give it a try. Walked in and everyone was so nice and attentive. To reassure my nerves Christine suggested I do a consultation with Jorge who would be my stylist before the actual appointment. Everything went wonderfully and I really appreciate the way they tell you how much the services will cost upfront instead of letting you guess at the end. My actual appointment was so enjoyable; they have a selection of drinks available for you to sip while you wait but I didnt have to wait long at all! Jorge was extremely knowledgeable in color and specializes in ginger/copper which is what I wanted. Leonardo was also super attentive when washing and styling my hair. And my hair came out great! It was an ugly faded green at the tips and they managed to even it out to this beautiful ginger color!! It is a bit pricey but to soothe my fears I was willing to pay a little more, and the price does reflect the amazing service and attention you receive at this salon. I will be coming back!! Thank you everyone!!

Great salon to visit in Coral Gables. You should definitely check this place out on your next trip to the Miami area. It’s located right on miracle mile and is the main salon there. I recommend Sam is the hairstylist a choice here. Specialize in hair color and hair extensions

Today I had the wonderful experience of having my hair done at Avant-Garde Salon by Anthony. My hair has been previously bleached and dyed, so the ends of my hair had lightened quite a bit over the summer, since I last dyed it darker in March (as you can see in the photo). I had an appointment with Anthony for an all over color, haircut, and a blow dry. Anthony exceeded all my expectations with the color of my hair! Its a rich dark brown but not black, exactly what I asked for (pictured). Having suffered a pretty poor haircut prior to my appointment, Anthony saved my hair with a long layered cut that gave body to my limp hair with face framing pieces. I love Anthony and Avant-garde and will definitely be back!

I have been a steady client of Avant Garde for over 35 years, specifically with Joseph Herrera. He is a true professional that takes pride in his work. He is an exceptional colorist and through years we have become friends.The front and support staff are all ready to help and greet you with a smile and a can do attitude.You will not go wrong visiting the best Salon and Spa in Dade County.

WOW WOW WOW! I can’t say enough amazing things about this salon. I recently moved to Miami and was looking for a reputable hair salon as I had high expectations from a previous salon I was going to back home. I started researching on Google and came across Avant Garde. The reviews were all positive, so I thought I’d give them a try!When I called to make an appointment, they were so warm over the phone and had no issues making an appointment with one of their more popular stylists, Leandro. I couldn’t be more happier to have been Leandro’s client because HE IS THE BEST!! From the moment we met, I knew I was going to be a long time customer. I showed him examples of balayage looks I wanted and he got straight to work. I had color in my hair from a previous grow out, so he had to color correct everything. I spent 6 hours at the salon and the result was WAY more than what I had expected! I wanted to cry because my hair had never looking more amazing.If you’re looking for an amazing salon in Miami, GO HERE! All of the stylists are so warm and welcoming and I absolutely loved the fun environment. I have my second appointment coming up soon and I can’t wait! Ask for Leandro if you want an amazing balayage! 😍

This was my first experience getting my hair done in Miami. I like my hair super blonde and get worried about trying new people. I went to Farrah and she was absolutely amazing!!! She made my hair bright as can be ✨ She was extremely fast, professional and friendly. I got my eyebrows done by Evelyn. She did an amazing job and waxed and tinted them exactly how I wanted. She was also so friendly and made my experience very nice and comfortable. I will most definitely be returning back! 🩷

About 15 years, I have been coming to Avant Garde Salon to get my facials with Evelyn. I’m so happy to have found this place and to have found Evelyn for my facials.

If you’re looking for a little extra pampering, she’s simply the best! Thank you!

My daughter recently moved to the area. I came to visit and wanted to get my hair done…. Color and a blow out. From my first call, two days prior to my appointment, the staff had constant contact with me….asked me to send pics of my hair and what I was looking for. They even texted me the address of where to park. My entire experience was seamless! I felt so comfortable from start to finish. Farrah did an amazing job on my color, as did Danny with my blowout. Being from NY, I can say that this salon was better than any high-end salon I’ve been to.

I came into Avante Garde salon to have a haircut. My hair was extremely long and I wanted to get it shaped and cleaned up but still keep the length. I have had very bad experiences with salons not listening to me and destroying my hair and I had not been to a salon in about 7 years. Marcelo took the time to listen and set expectations. He gave me the perfect haircut. He listened and kept the length like I asked. Thank you Marcelo you are very talented and I look forward to more haircuts!

ANTHONY POLANCO IS AMAZING!! OUTSTANDING! He is the most professional yet personal and friendly hair stylist I’ve ever had. First time, I showed him a few pictures of what. Now every time I go back he knows exactly what to do and what I want. I can fully trust him to have it turn out way better than I could expect. He is always on time and cares about exactly what you want. And always makes you smile 😊 I will travel back to Miami just to see Anthony!!!

Amarylis cut my hair. She did a fantastic job of listening and guiding me to not make a mistake for my hair type! I loved the results and felt like myself but with bouncier, fuller, better shaped hair. Thank you to this amazing salon. Tip: I didn’t want to pay $165 for a haircut because my hair is so easy to cut. I chose to skip the blow dry/styling and washing and came to the appointment with my hair clean. They only charged me $100 for the haircut. Good tip if you’re on a budget and just need a trim!

Overall what an amazing experience. From the moment I booked my appointment, the attention to detail has been like no other.

Orisdaisy, who washed my hair was very nice and attentive. Fabian, my hairdresser and stylist did not disappoint. He gave me the best advice. We spoke about short and long term goals for the nourishment and improvement of my thinning hair. I went in with full confidence and I can honestly say, I have found my new home. Christine, thank you for following up with me. You truly have created a special gem there and I am beyond happy to now be a part of it 💕.

I recently visited Avant-garde Salon and Spa, and I couldnt be more pleased with my experience. I had the pleasure of having my hair cut and styled by Annie, she did a phenomenal job. She listened carefully to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. My haircut is exactly what I envisioned, and the blow dry with curls she did was simply stunning. The products they used felt luxurious and left my hair feeling silky and looking vibrant. I absolutely love my new hairstyle and the overall experience at Avant-garde salon. I will definitely be returning. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for top notch hair services. Thank you guys!

After a year of searching for the right salon, and not letting anyone touch my hair for fear of the results, I have finally found my new hairdresser and salonI absolutely love my hair Juan, my hairdresser, was a doll! He made me feel comfortable right from the start. He took his time during our consultation to make sure he understood what I wanted and what I like. He also explained everything to me along the way. I also appreciated the form I had to sign at the beginning detailing the cost of all the services I was going to have... Many times its not until the end that you find out the damage But I feel that letting clients know upfront prevents any issues or surprises from arising later on.I must also mention Leo. He washed the dye out of my hair. His scalp massage was amazing as well as his attention to detail! I noticed he was very careful not to soak my face with water or hike rinsing it and gently removed any stains the dye left around the scalp area.On multiple occasions various staff members offered me something to drink. I only wish they had decaf cappuccino because they looked so good but caffeine and I are not friendsIf youre looking for exceptional service and attention to detail at a comparable price, check out Avant Garde Salon and Spa!

Great hair stylists but expect to dish out $300-400 for color, cut and blow dry. They’re not very efficient . I find myself waiting around a lot in between my wash , cut and blow dry since they over book and a stylist is attending to two costumers at one time. The Sunkist are great here but for the cost, the customer service is not very good

I will never run out of compliments for Anthony who has been my hair stylist at Avant Garde for years. My hair was brittle & dry I first meet him. Now it’s healthy, bouncy grew to the length I wanted & I credit it all to Anthony. He is AMAZINGGGGG with color & always does a outstanding job touching up my high lights. He gives perfect cuts wether I want a trim or layers, & his blow dries are out of this world. Straight or waves, he always styles my hair gorgeous no matter what look I’m going for. Not to forget the gloss treatment which I’m obsessed with. He is the only person I trust with my hair, go do your with him you won’t regret it.

I’ve been looking for a salon that can do blonde highlights since I moved here from New York. It took me 8 months, a lot of trial and error, but I’m BEYOND pleased with my hair.From the moment I walked into the salon, I was happy. Christine, at the front desk, greeted me and was extremely kind and welcoming. It was the perfect way to start my appointment!!! Everyone at Avant-Garde was professional and made me feel at home. From Daniele and Leonardo to my superstar hairstylist.I went to Farrah, who is undoubtedly talented. My blonde highlights haven’t looked this great in YEARS!!! She used a ton of foils, which I loved and she was super fast too! I was in and out in two hours!! I had a full head of highlights, a toner and base bump (to fix my awful brassy color from previous stylists) and she blew out my hair, finishing it off with a few waves. I am so relieved and happy to have FINALLY found my new hair stylist at my new go-to salon.

Got a balayage, haircut and style from Yasel. He and everyone who attended me took their time with my long, thick Latina hair and did an amazing job. The atmosphere was very comfortable, everyone was pleasant and I would recommend it. Tips must be left in cash though (they have an ATM on site), but it can’t be left on the card. The prices I would say are on the higher end, but I got what I paid for and am satisfied.

I always forget to write reviews, but I had to make sure I wrote one for Avant Garde. They did not ask me, they are just so great I felt like I needed to. Everyone at this salon is amazing! Moving from NYC to Miami I was worried about finding my go to place for my hair. I tried a few places in the area and this is by far my favorite salon. Marcelo has been doing my hair extensions and color for about a year and a half and he is amazing. He really is an artist! He cares about not only making your hair look absolutely gorgeous, but also the overall health of your hair as well. My hair even without the extensions in is the longest it’s ever been. Alex does my keratin and does such a great job. He is also such a pleasure to chat with. The time always flies when he is doing my hair. Same with many of the other people that work there. Andrea frequently blows out and styles my hair and she is so fun to sit and chat with. I love how she styles my hair. Evelyn does my eyebrows and does a great job. Christine and everyone at the front desk are always accommodating and professional. I could go on naming other amazing staff at the salon, but it is a long list. I can not say enough great things about this salon. The prices aren’t cheap, but they are fair and trust me they do a phenomenal job and well worth the money!

I visited Avant-Garden Salon last Saturday with Rafael, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. Rafaels expertise truly shines through in his work, as I left with the best hair Ive ever had. His attention to detail and skillful technique transformed my hair into a masterpiece. Not only was the result stunning, but the price was also very reasonable. Yasel, who assisted Rafael, provided excellent support, making the entire visit enjoyable with his friendly demeanor and attention to detail. Additionally, their complimentary coffee was a delightful touch. I wholeheartedly recommend this salon, especially with Rafael and Yasel leading the way!

I absolutely love this place! I have been here a couple of times to do big jobs like bleaching and balayages but I have recently decided to fully switch to them after this amazing experience. I went to them because I had gotten a botched hair cut somewhere else and wanted to fix it. Yasel was available last minute and he was so attentive, understanding, and knowledgeable. He was quick but thorough and saved my hair like a true expert. I went in with my hair choppy and in layers that looked terrible but in the end he had me with cute and flirty curls that highlighted my hair in the best way possible. Yasel specifically was incredible but everyone here is a top notch professional. I cannot stress how good this place is! I recommend it to anyone that wants to leave satisfied every time ❤️

As someone whos super loyal to her stylist/colorist in NYC, I am always terrified when I have to see someone new during my travels. I found Avant-garde on Google, and chose the salon because of their prompt response time and stellar views. (I had called two other salons who didnt get back to me for DAYS!).Justina, my colorist, was outstanding in her skill and passionate about her craft. I instantly felt comforted and secure in knowing that I was, indeed, in the best of hands.I find myself in Coral Gables often because of family, and I can rest assured knowing that if my hair needs any sort of touch-up, Justina is just a few minutes away!

This is by far the best salon I have been to in Miami. I always had a hard time finding a hair salon that I liked and I am so happy that I found it here.Annie did my hair cut and blow dry. She was so incredibly nice and made me feel comfortable. I have always been insecure about my hair and she addressed all my concerns and listened to me. She educated me on my hair type and suggested the haircut that was best for me (no hair stylist has ever done that for me). My hair has never looked this good or felt this healthy before I met Annie.I also had a consultation with Andy for hair botox/soft keratin since I have very frizzy hair and she was so nice and informed me about the process and my hair concerns. I didn’t feel pressured to do the treatment but I do plan on going back. She even gave me a sample which no salon has ever done.I cannot thank both of them enough for their kindness and setting on the path of hitting my hair goals and I look forward to seeing both of them in the future.

I had an exceptional experience at Avant Garde, thanks to Farrah, my hair colorist. The ambiance of the salon is both luxurious and professional, creating a perfect environment for relaxation and pampering. The entire team is welcoming and generous, making you feel at home from the moment you step in.Farrahs skill and attention to detail are truly remarkable. She is genuinely eager to help you achieve your dream shade of blonde, and she listens to your preferences with great care. It is rare to find a stylist who prioritizes your vision over their own, but Farrah does just that.Her effectiveness is unparalleled. Farrah managed to create a color that was twice as nice as what I had before, and she did it in half the time it used to take with my previous colorists. Her combination of efficiency and quality is truly impressive. If you are looking for a top-notch hair colorist who delivers outstanding results, look no further than Farrah at Avant Garde Salon!

I came here just a few weeks ago and got a balayage done by Rafael, who was a complete sweetheart, and i love it so much! Excellent job done. Took my dulling previous balayage job into a rich, chocolatey honey swirl. Thank you Rafael! 😚💖

Geo is an excellent colorist and stylist. Highly recommend him. Also all staff are so personable. I feel at home here.

Aldo was so good!! I came in with my hair way too blonde from another salon and he knew exactly what to do and how to fix it. He made it look so natural while keeping the blonde, exactly how I wanted it.

Ive been wanting to go to this salon for a year now, and after all of the amazing reviews, I made the decision to visit. The salon exceeded my expectations and more! Paola did an amazing job of bringing my inspiration to life! Her expertise and knowledge of hair and color made me put all of my faith and trust to her that my hair came out 100/10. The staff was also equally amazing and friendly and so wonderful!!!!

Left Avant Garde with a HUGE smile on my face yesterday. Marcelo did a beautiful job on my hair, he listened to what I wanted, and made it true. I highly recommend this salon, professionalism, passion and positive energy in one place.

Absolutely loved this place! I did a Brazilian straightening with Jamal, amazing results! And my brother dyed his hair from black to platinum with Paola - it looked incredible! She’s very thorough!But the thing I want to highlight is you’re surrounded by good people! It felt like they were just one big family. Helping each other with other clients when needed, showing results to one another, cheering when someone did a great job, even borrowing phones to take good photos :)Lastly, Marilyn is great at communicating and following up with clients prior to their appointments and when they are at the salon! Amazing place all around!

Let me begin by saying that I am not one to write reviews, but after my wonderful experience at Avant-Garde hair salon and spa I just wanted everyone to know what a fabulous place this is. Gio was my hairstylist. He wonderful, knowledgeable and very professional. He took the time to listen and he knew exactly what I wanted. I love my new haircut and my whole experience at the salon was magnificent. I have definitely found a hairstylist that I love and a salon that is super friendly and welcoming. This was my first time visiting the salon and I can guarantee you that I will be a returning customer. I will highly recommend Gio and this salon to all my friends, family and anyone looking for a great new look and a wonderful experience.

I did my hair with Fabian and he was amazing! He is so professional, knowledgeable and so patient. Great experience! I have been there twice. The first time he did my base color, haircut and blow dry. It was great! 3 days later I went back for highlights and he did an amazing job. Olga blow dried my hair the second time and she was great as well. So happy I made the change to this salon!

Marika at the salon provided an outstanding haircut experience for my son. From the moment we entered, she greeted us warmly and made my son feel comfortable.

I initially came in to get my roots touched up. They were grown out 5-6 inches and not blended well at all. I was nervous about this salons capabilities in doing a good blonde color but Justina did a fantastic job with matching my roots and blending with my already existing blonde hair. We worked over 2 sessions to get my final look just right and I love it. Would highly recommend Justina, she is easy to talk to and made the process enjoyable!

This salon is great, super clean and all the staff are extremely friendly and service oriented. I really enjoyed the time I spent there. I had a balayage with Justina and she did an amazing job and I ended up loving my hair :) my haircut with Jamal was also very pretty and we had a great time chatting. Both of them are great professionals, they listen to you and really care for their customers. The manager of the salon, Marilyn is also exceptional and very responsive, they go above and beyond to make customers happy. I will be coming back 😄

This salon is amazing!! From the moment you walk and they greet you very friendly. Jorge cut and styled my daughter’s hair. Her hair looked astonishing there’s no words to describe it. She loved it!! He also cut and style my mom‘s hair which left her looking like a 40 year old woman. There’s no words to describe him he is amazing!! We went on a date of an event of Halloween and it was so spectacular!! They were all dressed in Halloween costumes it was such a wonderful moment and wonderful place to be at!! I enjoyed myself and I had so much fun I did not want to leave. Thank you so to Cristina , who is incredibly friendly , kind and amazing as well. I will give this salon a five star and tell all my family about it and my friends so they could go and have a fabulous time while doing your hair!!!

Andy was amazing! He did a consultation prior to starting, set correct expectations and guided me as to what would be best for me and my lifestyle. Highly recommend him. He also fixed a horrible uneven color I had done somewhere else! Also, very much appreciated the cappuccino that magically appeared in front of me, thank you so much to Andy and the wonderful staff. First time here and definitely not the last.

I had a great experience at the salon. I loved the environment and professionalism of everyone. Fabian and Blanca were amazing, very friendly and great customer service. I love my hair, Fabian is truly the best. He took the time to go over some pictures with me, explain the best shade to go with my skin tone and what to expect. Results were exactly if not better than what I expected and I have received many complements. Thank you all, I will definitely be back soon.

I went in last month for a bit of drastic haircut. I wanted to go from long hair to a very short blunt bob. I was very nervous about it, but Juan did an amazing job!! I absolutely loved the result! He was meticulous and ensured the haircut came out perfectly even. He was also incredibly nice and attentive. Everyone else at the salon was nice as well. Top-notch service!

I am from Illinois but went down to Florida to move my daughter into her first apartment. I looked in the mirror and decided I couldn’t spend one more moment with hair Down to my waste and showing my age with grey. My daughter contacted the salon and scheduled me an appt. The staff is warm and welcoming and you feel like you are at a salon on Miracle mile without the pretense. My girl gave me the best color I have ever had and Took my hair up to my shoulders from my waist . Tremendous experience and will rebook in 4 weeks when I come down to see my daughter

This place has such an amazing owner. Christine cares about her clientele. She goes out of her way, to make sure they absolutely love their new look. I appreciate her customer service. She is kind, patient, caring, and just a beautiful person all around. My Stylist Ethan did an amazing job on my hair. I colored it for the 1st time and it came out a true success. I am thankful for the work he did. My hair is fine and usually just lays flat. The blow out he did, gave me volume I never knew I had. I will be going back to add some extensions Friday. This will be my new salon HOME. I definitely would recommend.

BEST SALON IN MIAMI! I am from CT and have struggled to find a good hair salon in Miami for 2 years now. I have very fine, thin, damaged blonde hair.Farrah was an absolute sweetheart and she colored my hair so quickly and beautifully! She gave me great hair advice as well.The intern (I did not get her name, taller, slimmer girl) was amazing. She literally gave me a head and neck massage at the sink.To top it off, Gio and his amazing energy gave me a beautiful haircut along with samples of products he recommends!Everything was amazing. Your salon is by far the best I have been to in Miami (and trust me, I’ve been to many). From the ambience to the services, everyone went above and beyond. I cannot wait to come back!

They people working there were very attentive and kind. The saloon exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to go there again. For the price that it is, it was worth the money. I got the haircut I expected to go out with. Highly recommend this saloon for people who don’t want their hair ruined after growing it for sometime. Even for guys.

Amazing experience today at Avant Garde Salon and spa. I came in today short notice and they got me in with Marcelo he is great at blow drying pixie hair cuts. I have short hair. He suggested a purple shampoo. I was impressed with the high quality products at the salon. The young man who washed my hair did a great job and it was very relaxing. Marcelo and I had such wonderful conversation. If you are ever in coral gables please stop by and get a blow out here.

Top notch service!! From the moment you walk in & greeted, you feel like you’re in good hands! I had the most exceptional experience. I walked in with the hopes of getting my daughter’s eyebrows done & thankfully Evelyn was readily available. She waxed and shaped my daughter’s eyebrows so beautifully, I was impressed. My daughter also needed her hair done. She wanted a little color around the frame of her face and cut/style. Thank goodness Jamal was available! He took the time to listen to exactly how she wanted her hair & made her feel & look like a movie star 🌟 he’s a true artist! I was so happy to come across Evelyn and Jamal. They are both true masters in their craft! They were both personable and took their time & listened & asked questions to assure the achieved look. Fabulous team!

My first time at this salon was very pleasant! Justina was my colorist and she’s the most down to earth person. She took the time to understand what I wanted.

The salon followed up the next day to see how my experience was. (That never happens). The following is what I said,“ Hello Christine,Thank you for reaching out. I apologize for the slow response. My hair looked so amazing I had to take it out for dinner last night! 👏👏🥂Are you the one who recommended Alex? I stopped in and inquired about a stylist who works well with thin fine hair.I think I am in love! Alex is absolutely amazing!!!! He could not have done a better job. My hair color is perfect and the volume is amazing. I am so very happy! Thank you so much!❤️I am new to Miami and I am very grateful I stopped in and found the perfect salon and stylist.Everything was great!”I highly recommend this salon. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!!

My daughter just had a haircut with Annie, and we were blown away with how beautifully it turned out. Annie is exceptionally talented and a wonderful listener. For those with a teenage daughter, you will understand what I mean when I say that my daughter is particular about every strand laying perfectly and in accordance with her vision. Weve lived here since 2015, and we have tried every salon in Miami. We finally found our home salon thanks to Annie! Thank you for squeezing us in at the last minute. We will be back!

First of all....Vanessa has to be one of the most naturally stunning women Ive ever seen! Seriously, she should literally be a model! On top of that she was SO kind and patient, an angel. I never felt rushed, forgotten in a chair somewhere or hesitant. She was clear on the pricing and what was best for my hair and what I wanted. Everyone was very welcoming, professional and attentive, offering water, coffees etc... I had a wonderful experience and cant wait to come back in 3 months. I was so relieved because not everyone can work with black hair with box dye on it but Vanessa was a magician and the balayage she did was amazing, I didnt smell any harsh a chemicals, my scalp doesnt feel dry, itchy or burnt, perfect cut and styling. So happy with how everything came out. Worth every penny!!

I’ve recently moved to Miami and have been looking for a great place to do my hair somewhere close to Coral Gables/Coconut Grove area. Justina did my highlights (and color in-between) and Marcelo did my haircut. I can sincerely say that they both did a phenomenal job. I will definitely be coming back here!

Jorge did an amazing job with my balayage and haircut! My color feels bright and fresh and ready for summer. I also really appreciated that they offered me a beverage (coffee, wine, etc) when I got there which is super nice since you’re in the chair for a couple hours when you do color. So happy I found my new hair salon.

Andy is basically the best of the best! He took his time and spent hours on my hair to achieve the best results one could possibly ask for! His dedication, hard work and knowledge gave an amazing result- first time in years I walked out happy with the outcome of my hair, and I did highlights, haircut, and blow dry … Thank You Andy for all you do! You are the best, and I am sure New York misses you, but I am so glad you are here now and I finally found a hairdresser that did not disappoint me!!!Keep the great job up and see You soon!

I flew into Miami for my Nephew’s wedding. I got my hair styled by Amaryllis, at 10am and the wedding was at 6pm. My curls were still tight and intact at 2am the end of the reception ..I will definitely visit this salon next time I’m in Miami. I’d love for them to color my hair !!Also the young man who washed my hair was so gentle and polite. The best hair wash I’ve ever had. Felt like I was getting a head massage at the same time.

I had my first experience with Avant-Garde Salon today and it was amazing from beginning to end. The reception was quick, responsive and kind when checking in and the atmosphere so welcoming and friendly. I had my hair done by Anthony, and I am so incredibly happy with how it turned out! He was attentive and really listened to what I wanted. Anthony did an excellent job bringing my hair back to life—completely transformed my hair with highlights, the glaze and a cut/blowout. I felt like a new person walking out of the salon today. Truly an incredible experience and I’ve found my new salon!

I have been going to this salon for the past year and a half. All staff are incredibly friendly, intuitive, and talented. They see possibilities I don’t in my hair style and work with me to ensure I’m happy with everything they do. Today I worked with Jamal who, between making my hair look fantastic, indulged my inner foodie and told me about all of his fantastic marinades for the dishes he prepares. Felt so at home and at ease with him and the warm receptionists — I can’t recommend this place enough.

Jay is the most amazing colorist I’ve ever experienced! I can’t believe how satisfied I am with my hair. I like being a blonde, but have dark hair naturally. I can never find a stylist who truly gets the shade I want. I did now tho!:)Everyone at the salon are super friendly and inviting. It’s a very positive, upbeat energy. Such a good vibe. Im totally going back.

Love love love how Farrah colored my hair. I usually take 6-8 hours at the salon because of how much hair I have and how light I like it. I was out in 2.5 hours with Farrah! I am still in shock. Jamal did my haircut and blow-dry and hes so kind and funny. I love how everything turned out. It is pricey but totally worth it.
