An aveda concept salon in a convenient downtown location with free parking! Go see Joe Edwards for the best cut around. His hands work magic on the hair. This high-end salon comes with exceptional service, no pretense.

Crystal does the best color! – I have been going to Crystal for years, not only is she extremely talented in what she does.. she has a true appreciation for her trade and makes sure you love your hair before you leave! I have gone from dark brown to almost blond and each time I love it. I can't say enough good things about her, she can make miracles happen. If you want a true professional who takes pride in their work, you NEED to see Crystal. :)

Who's looking for Jessica S.? – I have been a client of Jessica Santillan's for a few years now. I had been seeing her since before Avant took over Breath Salon. I consider myself a client to Jessica not Avant and was totally bummed when they wouldn't tell me where she was. Front desk was very rude and they kept trying to send me to someone else ( there best stylist) Araceli. I have seen her work before and you shouldn't tell people that 's your best stylist cause definitely a down grade. Thankfully with lots of searching I ... read more

I'm going to be a regular – I just moved to Austin from Los Angeles. I am very impressed with the quality of stylists at this salon. My stylist was Carianne. She was very cool/trendy looking, and she knows her work. I will be back!

Great Place, Great People – I went to this salon on a friend's recommendation. I was a little nervous to try a brand new place. Turns out I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I got my color done by Melissa, and my cut by Carianne. Fantastic work on both, I haven't been this happy with a salon in a long time. Thanks!

Love My Haircut – I just wanted to let you know the care and the expertise Allison (at the downtown location) took when I got my haircut last week. I had been growing my hair out for quite some time and wanted to donate to Locks of Love. I participated in your drive with Allison cutting off over 12'' of hair. She spent over an hour and a half making sure I got a great, cool haircut and that I was comfortable going from my long locks to something much much shorter. Thanks to Allison for a wonderful new haircut!

I love Avant. What more is there to say? – I am the type of person who enjoys walking into a salon and telling any stylist the basic changes I want (i.e. short, growing it out, highlights, single color process, etc.) but after a disaster with a new stylist at a SOSO salon, I've become a little more detailed about my hair preferences. I started seeing Laura who was referred to me through a friend and I am so happy to have found a stylist that understands me again! I give her basics (short, layers, no layers) and tell her othe... read more

Beware worst highlights and terrible customer service – I went to this salon at the recommendations from this cite what a mistake. Ashley Hargrave highlighted my hair. I have been going to Aveda Salons for several years in Tampa, florida and I had my formula. She refused to look at it. She did my highlights and never checked my color once to see how it was processing. After rinsing my hair I was appalled.. The color was red and brassy. when I said that it had come out too red she became short and abrupt. The cut I received w... read more

Go see Mandy for Color-Best Colorist I've ever been to – I've had a difficult time trying to find someone that's an amazing colorist in austin. I've visited a couple of other salons for color in austin and my hair turned out too brassy and looked horrible. I finally decided to try avant downtown. I was placed with Mandy and she definitly knows color. My hair has never looked so wonderful. I now only trust Mandy to do my color-you won't be dissapointed. I quizzed her on her training and she was trained at a very well respecte... read more
