Elie is amazing! I made an appointment for my Mom who is new to the area and we were scheduled with Elie (not knowing any other stylists). Boy did we hit the lottery! Elie is so talented. His cut and color knocked 20 years off my Mom. Plus he is so personable and charming. Highly recommend!

If I could give Tara 10 stars, I would. A few years ago, she rescued my botched hair color a month before my wedding (no pressure!). I’ve been seeing her since because she has my total confidence and she just outdid herself again today. I’ve been highlighting my hair and today we did low lights only as I was ready for a change. She smartly looked at some example hair color pictures I had but took me in an even better direction. Excellent cut as always. My hair is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Thank you, Tara!

Avanti is a little bit hard to find on Newbury Street but once you do find it, oh my, it is worth it. Gio is my stylist and I have such a great time with him. Hair is one of those things, to me, that is an important service. It's something that's a personal expression that is with you all day, every day. And it's equally important to have a stylist that you can not only trust, but really look forward going in to see. Gio and I get along famously and I couldn't be happier to have found him. This isn't one of those high end salons where you walk in and they treat you they're they're too good for you. Every person here is kind and amazing. Their stylists are all listed online, take your time, review each person and see who fits your personality.

Ethan is hands down the best hair stylist in Boston. I am extremely picky about blowouts and haircuts, and he always delivers the most meticulous results. His blowouts are bouncy, sleek, and effortlessly chic every single time. Beyond his talent, Ethan has the best energy and is an incredible listener; he truly hears client feedback, takes it seriously, and executes it perfectly. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about hair products and always makes spot-on recommendations. Ryan, who runs the front desk, is equally amazing - so helpful, polite, and consistently professional, with an impressive knowledge of the products as well. The entire Avanti team is fantastic when it comes to scheduling and accommodating even the most challenging schedules, which makes such a difference. Avanti is my absolute favorite and go-to salon in Boston, all thanks to Ethan and Ryan.

I’ve seen Christian at Avanti Salon twice now and it’s been the best haircut and blowout experiences I’ve ever had! My hair has never looked better, and I get nonstop compliments every time. I’m super particular about blowouts, and Christian absolutely nails it — the shape, the finish, everything. You can tell he truly cares about his craft and about making sure you feel amazing walking out the door!! He is genuinely kind and so easy to talk to, which makes the appointment even more enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend him more. Will be coming back to him every time. Thank you, Christian!
