Avanti Hair Salons

My go to in Newmarket!!! Known them since I was a kid, always great service and friendly staff

I simply love the friendly atmosphere and they are so professional. I highly recommend it

Professional top of the line haircuts and colour. Finally someone who can do a proper blond. I loved the suggestions and left with a great style!

I love this place. Everyone here is super friendly and down to earth ! You can tell they enjoy what they do. They are also well educated in their field, and know how to create a hairstyle and/or color of exactly what you asked for. And to top it all off their prices are very competitive. You should give it a try !

I just had a consultation,cut and color with Katrina and it was fantastic. I felt I was at a high end salon with her talent and ability to envision what I could do with my unruly hair. It was great from start to finish!

PROS TO THIS HAIR SALON: *Ray - the owner: is a very creative, talented and caring hairstylist; knows what cut / colour is right for each person based on their face shape and skin colour; works really hard to make each client happy; knows what to do to help show off your best features; he will not do something if he does not think that it will suit you; will go the extra mile to style your hair, I preferred it when he straightened my hair *consultation on each visit *scalp massage while hair being conditioned CONS TO THIS HAIR SALON: *Salon was not relaxing: the only other stylist who worked there had her friends and family come in to visit all the time; Ray wanted to have a conversation going the whole time that I was there... so there was little chance to just relax and enjoy getting pampered; Ray seemed to hint around sometimes as if he wanted me to switch to getting the only other stylist there to do my hair instead; on my last visit there Ray accidentally got some hair colour on the back of my sweater and upon my noticing it - in an angry tone to me he said, "I will pay for your shirt!" *Ray's curling technique: involves still using the hair straightener; wound up being really too much curl... I came home sometimes with something that looked more like an "old lady hairstyle" (there are a lot of older clientele that go here too) or was being made to look like a sheep or something! It was too puffed out and was really actually just a bit embarrassing... CONCLUDING REMARKS: In the end, after about two years of going to Ray, I decided to QUIT IT! Overall, it was just way too pricey for the service / product that I was receiving. Considering the price ($120-150) and the tip (I gave a $30-35 tip - he literally stopped to thank me for it every single time after I paid him)... I believe that it should have been a more relaxing experience / atmosphere with my hair styled in a way that is not at all embarrassing!

Excellent service. Ray is definitely proud and passionate about his work. Salon is clean and follows all COVID protocols.

Ray, the senior stylist, is an absolute craftsman with colour. His cuts keep their shape for a long time. No weird pieces or boring stripes. Not inexpensive but well worth the price. I don't always agree with the way he styles with the products and the curling, but that doesn't matter. His cuts are incredible no matter how you style it. He listens well too. If you know what you want he will do it, and well. Don't be fooled by his older look: he is on the ball with fashion-forward styles and ideas. Can say enough good about this place. Was recommended to me a few years ago. Customer for life!
