Avalon Salon & Spa

Overall great spa. So clean, relaxing and professional. But the main reason is that Michelle E is THE best. She’s knowledgeable and personable but the facial was so much more than just a facial. Completely exceeding over and above my expectations! Thanks Michelle E!!!

Went for color and blow dry. The salon is in a great shopping village, is clean, and has friendly staff. They did a great job, and it was quite fun having two people blow dry my hair at the same time. They are very efficient! Unfortunately when I called to make another appointment, the girl who did my color was no longer working there. The person on the phone didn’t make an effort to assign me to anyone else, so I decided to try another salon. I may be back… we’ll see.

Big fan of Lee Busby at Avalon in West Village. If you are wanting amazing color (esp blonde) he is the man to see. It always helps that he makes me laugh until I cry too! :)

I am in love. I just recently had my hair colored and cut here. The whole experience was top notch. From when I first walked in to when I walked out the door I was so comfortable, which is important when you are spending several hours there getting your hair colored.
My colorist was Selene, she gave me probably the best color job I have ever had on my hair. Dorian cut and styled my hair after my color and it was just as well done as the color.
Needless to say, I think I have found my new hair place, and will also be referring my friends here too!

There was nothing wrong with the stylist but I got my 4 year olds haircut and my 12 month baby’s haircut. Both were pretty basic and she was barely able to do anything for my baby so basically she did not even receive a cut. My 4 year old has received haircuts from numerous Aveda establishments for around $ 15 which is very reasonable. This place was double the price for just an OK cut. 30 $ for a toddler cut and 20 $ for a baby that got 1 snippet cut is just outrageous. Not happy with my visit today. Do not take your children here unless you want to be robbed.

Nice, clean, pretty basic looking salon, with one wall of windows (I love having natural light in a salon!). I looooooove my color job. Genny got the perfect shade of red, it’s so lovely! I’ll definitely be headed back!

My first impression of Avalon Salon is definitely a 5 star. I switched from a different Aveda salon and I couldn’t be more happy with my decision. The staff are super friendly and unlike other Aveda salons, they won’t rush you or make you pay for a bang trim.
I got my hair cut from Shay and aside from the fact that she is really good at styling hair, she is very friendly and professional. I am really happy with my haircut! Thanks Shay!
I got my hair colored by Kendra and absolutely love my color. She is passionate about her job and will give you the exact color you want. Super friendly.
Go here. You won’t regret it.

I wish I was staying in Dallas longer because I absolutely LOVE this place. I am wary when it comes to hair salons because they either don’t give me the haircut I envisioned or it costs me an arm and a leg to do so. But I have neither of these issues when I go to Avalon. The staff is super friendly and they use amazing products (Aveda). I’ve had my hair cut twice by Amy and I absolutely love her! She listens to what I want and makes me feel like a million bucks when I walk out of the salon. Not only do they include a complimentary blow dry after my hair cut, but they have the best prices in the market. I also am not punished by being charged more for having long locks which is awesome. Hands down best salon I have been to.

Best colorist in all of Dallas is Tom at the Aveda Avalon Salon in West Village. For the past 5 years I have lived in New York and refuse to get my hair colored by anyone else. I still come home to Dallas to get my hair done. Tom is always my first stop the minute I land in Dallas. The salon is always clean and the staff very courteous and friendly. I’m extremely fussy about my hair, which is very fine and straight, and must be carefully managed. I never have to fear that I won’t like the color or that my hair will be damaged. I even showed up a few months ago with a terrible haircut and Meghan, one of the senior stylist, was able to fix me right up. I can’t speak highly enough of Tom and his talent. You will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a new colorist, make an appointment with Tom. He is simply the best!

Treat yourself to the fabulous work of Michelle E. for a very thorough, quality and relaxing facial! Her hour-​long facial is so much more than just a facial. Her foot scrub and warm towel treatment on my tired feet was a great bonus! I’d highly recommend any of her treatments like the peel. It was an hour I didn’t want to end. Her soothing and at ease demeanor is enough to relax you from the moment you walk in. I had no idea how tense I was prior to the facial. I felt relaxed, rebalanced and rejuvenated! Add to that the clean and yummy smelling rooms PLUS the warm and cozy bed and it is a truly heavenly experience!

Great service. Late for my initial appointment but so many talented professionals there, they were able to find me a alternate later that day (Jordan) who rocked!

Great bunch of Hair Enthusiasts that will absolutely get the job done. Whether planning for a new do that all the cool kids are doing or just getting the regular maintenance, they Rock! Engineering the right cut is not taken lightly. Double Crowns and Cowlicks didn’t slow this bunch one bit! By the time I was done they I looked like Brad Pitt (from the ankles down). Save~ and Jenny make a good team and always get me in and out with no delays.

I’m giving Amy the honor of my 400^th review as a Unilocaler because she has just made my day with this haircut!
It’s interesting how the world goes round. I love the objectivity of Unilocal in the sense that you will get to see honest experiences and how they vary from one patron to the next, perhaps one day to the next. (So… it’s subjective to each user’s personal experience, and objective in sharing even those experiences that contradict one another!)
I know what it’s like to get a bad color job — I’ve been sent from a salon TWICE by the same stylist before with nuclear neon Barbie nightmare hair, charged full price and told «you look great» through lying teeth — only to have to go find someone else to fix it. Reading another review on here of the poor girl whose color was done poorly and went to Floyd’s to have it fixed, I find myself having a very opposite experience from her’s — thankfully! Last year I had a very very bad haircut done at Floyd’s that took me a very long time to grow out. In fact, it scared me away from letting anyone touch my hair at all for a while I was so unhappy with it.
Yesterday, I needed a pick-​me-​up and my dead ends needed extermination, so I looked up a West Village salon with a good rating, ended up calling Avalon, and Amy had an opening. So, on a wing and a prayer and a dose of courage, I thought I’d risk a new salon and a new stylist.
My requests are always the same: Add some side bangs, frame the face, feel free to add layers, I want body on top and in back if possible… leave the length as much as possible while trimming the dead. It’s honestly not too much to ask. And Amy delivered on all fronts! I’m so completely happy with this haircut.
I appreciate a stylist who is easy to talk to and down to Earth, which Amy is. I appreciate that she specializes in cuts, and that she’s interested in the style I want — when I told her that I don’t blow dry my hair to style it every morning and I like to be lazy with it, let it go wavy, etc., she made sure my cut would hold up to that. She didn’t pressure me to buy products, didn’t try to book the next appointment while giving me the cut, she didn’t try to get me to color it. She just delivered exactly what I had asked for quickly and expertly and really casually. It was just a great experience.
Kelly, a colorist, washed and prepped me before the cut, and I always appreciate knowing that they have specialists in a salon — if you want your hair colored, a colorist will do it, then when you want it cut, a stylist will cut it. Having a stylist who was great at cutting experiment on my hair with color was what got me in trouble years ago, and having a stylist who didn’t listen to what I want in a cut has landed me very bad hair cuts most recently. I was so happy that this experience gave me nothing to fret about!
Overall, Amy gets 5 stars and she’ll be seeing me again!
The icing on the cake is that the price is right for a cut — under $ 50 before tip!

If you’re looking for a new colorist, YOU HAVE TO SEE KELLY! She’s absolutely incredible. She has such a unique way of listening to what you want and looking at any photos you bring in, and then making it a reality. She’s the best colorist I’ve found in the DFW area, hands down.

Avalon Salon & Spa is top notch! I’ve been using Aveda Salons for 20 years, and this is by far the best experience I’ve ever had. Try Kelly for an outstanding color job! Not only did she listen to my color concerns and create a beautiful and natural looking color for me, she made the health of my hair her top priority and nursed my over-​processed hair back to a soft and glorious shine in just a couple treatments! And if you are in need of a massage, you must book an appointment with Fabian. The guy has magic fingers!!! Thanks Avalon for such a great experience for this new West Village resident! :)

I went to Shayla as a walk in. She did a fantastic job on my hair! I absolutely love it. I have found my Dallas salon and am going back for color next week. The front desk folks were incredibly nice as well.

Got a hair color n haircut. Tiffany was my hair colorist, I wanted an ombré and she got it right! I chose Meghan as my hair specialist and she was awesome too! Both the ladies did a great job! The vibe at the salon was very good n I had a feeling tat my hair was gonna look good when I walk out! Very satisfied! Recommend n will go again too! The only reason it’s not getting a 5 star is coz the salon needs to have more of the soothing aveda fragrance all around the salon…

Most appreciative! Not even a question 5 stars to the ENTIRE STAFF!!!
A special shout out to;
Meghan Courtney — Senior Stylist
Kelly D. — Color Specialist
Abe and Michelle in the Spa!
Thanks for aiding in a well needed day of rest!

I went in for two 90-​min massages right before I took the bar exam. Vanessa did a wonderful job! I fell asleep on the table both times, which I have never done before. The atmosphere is lacking a little in the waiting area. You can hear the sounds of the hair salon and the couches were stiff and not cozy. They did have tea and water available, however. It is not the full relaxation experience you would get at a full-​on spa, but the massage itself was so good (and so reasonably priced) that it was worth skipping the fluffy robes and comfy couches.
Definitely go see Vanessa! She is sweet, friendly, and very talented. She went the extra mile to make sure I was relaxed before I took the bar exam. I will be going back next time I need the ol’ knots worked out!

This is my week for wash & blow outs… seriously,.was here for the OU-​TX shootout and my Sooners lost so I am still a wee bit upset.
My hair was looking pretty dull and needed the skills of a professional. The Hilton Anatole recommended this place. super cool area complete with this amazing gluten free bakery kitty corner across the street. Seriously great desserts!
I was at this salon TWO TIMES in three days. After my hair was exposed to deep fried butter and stinky corn dogs, along with the humidity, i needed to go back again.
Prices were very reasonable: $ 45 and $ 50. Bonus: offering of wine. That was the clincher for me. That was an $ 8 savings right there!
My hair was shiny, swinging and my boyfriend loved it. He doesn’t have any hair which is actually very sexy.
Highly recommend this salon.
