Davanti Salon and Spa

great place, will definitely miss it.

All I have to say is, it sucks when you don’t get to have the hair color that you want. What sucks even more is that when you give them a chance to fix it, it comes out worse than before. Two stars because everybody was friendly, but unfortunately I’m not ever coming back again. When I say I want red hair, I want red hair not pink or orange or blue. I had to cry my butt off to another hair salon after the second epic fail… they managed to fix the issue though. Thank goodness.

I’m extremely disappointed with the hair cut I received here. Sarah butchered my hair with the thinning/​texture shears, and I left with frizzier and more tangled hair than when arrived.
Not sure what part of «I just want the dead ends cut off and I don’t want layers or shaping» means do most of the hair cut with the thinning shears. I could NOT believe the amount of hair she took off with those. Not to mention the amount of baby/​frizzy hairs that now stick out all over my head and in my face. Soooooo not satisfied with this experience.
2 stars for the friendly receptionist.

Once again, five star service! After my last visit about 6 or 7 months ago I decided to try somewhere cheaper. BAD IDEA! I ended up looking like a pumpkin with orangey hair! :(I came back with my tail between my legs to Haley and asked her to please make me look normal again! We decided a subtle balayage would work best for what I wanted/​needed. 3 hours later, my hair was beautiful again and I can walk with confidence! She truly is a wonderfully talented stylist! It may cost a few more dollars to go here compared to other places but trust me when I say it is soooo worth it!

The first time I went I had not gotten a hair cut in a year or so (bad, I know), but I knew someone who worked there and she reccomended the salon. My first experience was actually really great, the cut turned out just about perfect, though anything was an improvement from where it was. I got the cut at a discounted price for $ 35 because I was referred by someone.
I was happy with my first cut, so I made an appointment for 3 months later with the same stylist (I don’t actually remember who it was, I haven’t gone back nor gotten another haircut elsewhere since because the second experience was so bad). Mistakingly, I made the appointment first thing in the morning, 10 am (hah!). My stylist seemed tired and aloof, she didn’t even seem to remember me, though I’m sure she knew I was a repeat customer. I told her I wanted a cut like how it was done last time, and explained I wanted a ‘tapered effect’, rather than ‘straight across and bulky’. After an excruciating 45 minutes of «pampering», she gave me a mirror to check out the back, and I was SORELY disappointed, she literally cut my hair in the exact fashion I told her I did not want. Mind you, the entire time she was cutting my hair, she was yawning and not attempting to make conversation at all.
I asked her to fix it, cut in a tapered fashion, as if to form a triangle when the hair is behind my shoulders. Another 20 minutes of hair-​pulling, and the cut was some-​what fixed, but truly no where near what it was the first time. The worst part? I failed to hand off my referral card to anybody new (probably for the better), so instead of saving $ 20 on the cut, I paid $ 55 for a disappointing experience, still tipped her $ 5, and she did not even offer any sort of apology for fucking it up the first time.
I really hate getting haircuts, and the ‘stylist’ at this salon is a big reason why. Don’t go here, especially not for a second time, the stylists do not make any attempt to get to know their customers, which is not the way to deliver professional services. Very disappointed, I’ll never go to another Aveda salon, clearly they don’t really care about the people they’re meant to service.

Professionalism and courtesy was outstanding. Great stylist and just overall great experience. Loved it!

I called to set up an appointment the day before with a first talent hair stylist, and they hooked me up! I was surprised I got a spot so soon, but I was super happy.
Anyway, walked in just a couple minutes before and my hair stylist got me immediately — barely any wait time, which was awesome. This is the third Aveda salon I’ve tried, and I love them so much because their products smell so GOOD. Although from what I’ve experienced the quality of service can vary.
I had Kaitlin, who was just the right amount of friendly. Not too talkative or too quiet. My hair turned out exactly as I asked, with a slight wrinkle — I asked to get it angled, longer in the front and shorter in the back, but I think I confused her because shortly after I said that I don’t want the assymetry to be TOO drastic. So it ended up being all the same length, which isn’t a big deal. She cut it to the perfect length (the last time I got a haircut the stylist had thinned it out so I asked her to catch my hair up to it).
I’ll probably come back to this place.

Disappointed! left work early to make my appointment (that was booked ²¹⁄₂ months ago). They had sent sent me reminders via text. Get there and no record of my appointment! Yes they were really sorry but they can get me in on ³⁄₂₈!!! REALLY??? Not the first time I hD a problem, they «new talent» that had no talent and didn’t give me an even highlight? REALLY? Think about it before you make an appointment here.

I have used Davanti for their spa and salon services, and have had such great service on every occasion! I love the environment and everyone there is nice and helpful. Kelsey does such a great job in the spa area!

I never want to leave! Kippin massages my head, shoulders, washes my hair, gives me hot towel. It is amazing! I’ve been going to Kippin for a couple years. She listens to what I want, and also makes suggestions. All the staff is great. I’ve also had facials & eyelash tinting. All services have been great!

I’ve been here several times, and have always been treated wonderfully.

I would like to start by saying I have several friends who are Aveda stylists and they got me hooked on their products and services. When I moved and it was time for a cut I naturally located the nearest Aveda salon. My first visit was nothing spectacular but the stylist did an okay job cutting my hair. What made it not great was that she had overbooked and had to take several breaks to check another clients hair and then to wash that clients hair. It was inconvenient for me because I had someone waiting on me and I could tell the other client was annoyed as well. Tonight’s visit was just downright awful. I called to make an appointment and they scheduled me with Brooke. I arrived 10 minutes early as usual. When I checked in I was told Brooke would be with me in a few minutes. So I sat and waited. There was one stylist in the salon and she had just started a cut so I assumed Brooke was elsewhere. My appointment was at 5:30 and at 5:50 I finally located someone to ask how long Brooke would be and she said oh she is just finishing that other clients hair. So behold Brooke was aware I was waiting and never paused to let me know she would be with me soon or apologize for running behind. When she was finally done she came over and said thanks for waiting on me. No apology. When she asked what I wanted done I said just a trim to make the ends healthy again and she said okay. After my hair wash and eyebrows we went back and she combed my hair out. She literally had scissors ready to cut when I stopped her and asked what she planned to cut. She then cut my hair to show me what she was going to cut. Quite frankly I was appalled. I have never had anyone cut before I approved. I have long, natural hair and I work hard to keep it healthy and long. When I told her I preferred it long she said «it will still be plenty long». I found this rude and condescending. After an hour of awkward silence and a blow dry that made my hair flat and limp she thinned my already thin hair (which I prefer to not have done, but again she did without asking) she put some oil in my hair and sent me on my way. I let the receptionist know I wasn’t happy and she offered a feeble apology and told me my total was $ 70. I honestly wanted to refuse to pay but I didn’t want to make a scene. I’ll be calling to speAk with a manager tomorrow And will update my review of the outcome. It was honestly the worst experience of my life and almost two inches of my hair is now gone and I’ll have to cut more to get it fixed. I’m more than disappointed.

I have been to this salon many times and cannot say enough great things! I have had my cut color and style done here on several occasions and from the moment I walk in the door until the moment I leave, I feel well taken care of and pampered. Everyone from guest services to the stylists to manager are very accommodating and make me feel right at home.
I will never go anywhere else, ever. If you want great service, great people and great AVEDA products, go here! You won’t be disappointed!

This used to be a really good salon, but as of late, I’ve had too many issues with their services to continue wasting my money. I was a brunette interested in going blonde, so I started the decolorization process with Haley back in the Spring of this year. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she assured me that she understood what I wanted. The first visit was great and she explained what would happen at the next appointment. The second visit, instead of continuing to lighten my hair, she simply put in very streaky highlights and after calling back to complain, I made a third appointment for color correction. I explained to her again what I was looking for and she supposedly understood. The fourth visit, I opted for a partial highlight hoping that this would help offset the unnatural yellow that kept popping up during the interim periods between appointments. I entertained the idea of changing colorists since I just was getting what I needed from Haley, so I spoke to the manager, Melody, directly before this last visit and she convinced me to give Haley another chance and that she would coach her on what to do. During that time, she was supposed to schedule my appointment this past Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. I went in about 10 minutes early and the receptionist couldn’t find my appointment. Somehow the appointment had been cancelled, but I met with Haley while I was there to ensure that she knew that I wanted her to go back to her initial plan of lightening my hair until we reached the right color. I ended up having to reschedule for Friday for a decolorization and highlight. I made sure to call the manager back before my appointment to consult with her on whether this was the correct procedure for what I wanted. She confirmed that the procedure we scheduled was correct and apologized for the mix up with scheduling, although I had to ask for a discount; she didn’t offer one for the inconvenience. On Friday, I got a call from the salon right as I’m about to drive over and Haley is running behind so they move my appointment by 30 minutes. Annoying, but not too much of an inconvenience. I get there and she has decided to change what she wants to do, again, and now she’s bleaching my roots and wants to lighten the remainder of my hair with some «lightening» shampoo. Something doesn’t seem right about this, but she’s the «expert.» I can see the other stylists looking at what she’s doing and a few of them come over to ask what she is going to do with the ends of my hair because my roots have turned out extremely blonde. Needless to say, by the time she finished my roots were almost white while my ends stayed the correct color. I thought it might look better in different light, but as soon as I saw it at home I knew she had screwed up my hair, yet again. Furthermore, when I went to pay, there was no note in the system that I should receive a discount, although the receptionist gave it to me anyway.
I don’t want them touching my hair ever again. The only good thing that came out of this was that she bleached my hair to the point that I was able to put in regular home hair color with no problem getting the blonde results I wanted to begin with. I have to agree with the other posts regarding customer service, although I’d add that these are not experienced colorists. Their haircuts are OK, but not worth the cost, especially considering the problems with customer service.

Always wonderful. I have been going here for years. I always see Emily and she knows what I want better than I do!
I had to see Caitlin the other day for haircut and she was great as well!

This place is great. I have curly hair, and it’s often hard to find a place that can give me a good cut and style without being charged an arm and a leg. I went for the first time today. Myra was the stylist who worked with me. She was personable, fast, and extremely precise. She used just the right products for my hair, did the layers right, and managed to blow dry it in such a way that I left the place looking and feeling great. I moved here from Dallas, so the $ 35 price tag was refreshing. This is a $ 60 hair cut for $ 35. The lobby is small but inviting, and their complimentary cucumber-​citrus ice water was tasty. I will be back!

I am really disappointed with Davanti– the two stylists I regularly saw aren’t there anymore, and my most recent visit has made my decision to never book an appointment there again. I love the atmosphere at Davanti, but my last appointment I left without seeing the back of my hair– when I got home I looked to see that there were extremely red marks on my neck/​back from the hot towel (this would have been 30 – 40 minutes after they were put on and taken off)…I didn’t realize the back of my cut was uneven until 2 weeks after the appointment because I was distracted/​taken aback by the marks. I didn’t want to call and complain because 1. It wasn’t the worst thing that could happen, and 2. I genuinely like the salon because of past experiences.
When I called to come back in and have it fixed the receptionist told me that that the appointment wouldn’t be open for another week. When I said that was too long to wait, I was given the option to see someone else, which I gladly took. I made an appointment for the next day, but then was called back to see if I could come in earlier to see the original stylist. The time didn’t work for me, and was called back AGAIN to be told that I passed the time frame to have it fixed, and that I would have to pay the full price for a haircut. I refused to pay $ 50 TWO weeks after I had gotten my hair cut simply to fix something that was not my fault, especially after not being shown the back of my hair which was most definitely because my stylist did not want me to see the extremely red marks on my neck from the hot towel. I am upset that I was originally offered a re-​do appointment for the next day, but then told I would have to just book a normal appointment, ESPECIALLY after being told I would have to wait a week the first time.

I used to be a regular here. I love Aveda products and the calm, peaceful, aromatherapeutic atmosphere of this place was just what I had always been looking for. It had quickly become my favorite Denton salon. I am very sad to say that they completely lost my business after my last experience. I really hate to give this place a bad review because I loved it so much for so long, but I feel like Unilocalers deserve to know both the positives and negatives of any business. Not every stylist is the same, and I’m sure there are other very capable and talented hairdressers at this establishment.
I had been going to see Cristina for quite some time, she’s very skilled at haircuts and was known as the «color guru» according to some of the others who worked there. I felt like I was in good hands after the first couple of visits, as she had done a good job. This was until I asked for a partial highlight and my lights turned out way too light and brassy. I asked her to fix it that same day and she did… my color turned out the way I wanted to all along and I was very happy. She said she would write the color she used on my formula card. When I returned a little over a month later last Tuesday, I told her I wanted the same color as last time. She said she’d go for «dark auburn» and I figured since whatever last time worked, she’d just do the same thing. She asked me if I’d like something to drink before she set me aside to start processing, I told her I’d take a glass of water. She forgot to bring it to me. In fact, I watched my clock as I sat in the chair a little over an hour with the dye still in. When she was finished, my hair was pretty much BLACK and much dryer than it had ever been before she colored it.
I called back a few minutes after I left to try and talk to her and see if she could fix it tomorrow or some time before a family vacation I’m going to be taking in a week. My hair was way too dark and not even close to being «dark auburn», or any kind of auburn at all for that matter. The receptionist told me she’d call me back either today or tomorrow. I hadn’t heard back and was desperate to get my hair fixed, so I called again the next morning. When Cristina got on the phone, she told me there was not much she could do to help me fix the color. She said she did exactly what I told her to do and put in the same color as last time, she told me I had said to cover up my highlights. I told her that can’t be right because my hair is black, it didn’t turn out the same as my last visit. I told her my hair was extremely dry and I think it’s because she left me processing for too long. She said that’s impossible with Aveda hair color and that it takes 45 minutes to process. I know for a fact I was in that chair well over an hour because I was watching the clock, but I didn’t say. I felt defeated. She condescendingly told me with attitude that my hair is just naturally dry and that she could lift some of the color out and add highlights but that’s all she could do. I wanted to cry. Not only was she making me feel like it was my fault, but she was pretty much telling me there was no real remedy for my hair. My boyfriend was sitting next to me hearing the whole conversation, and he said he couldn’t believe the way she was talking to me. It’s like she didn’t care at all. She said she could fit me in some time later that week but that someone else would have to shampoo and style me. I reluctantly agreed even after she had made me feel so responsible for her mistake.
I ended up driving up to the salon that same day in tears and quietly and politely told the manager I wanted a refund for my service and to cancel my appointment with Cristina. She was a very sweet manager and immediately understood my plight. She did not hesitate at all to provide me with a refund, and she even offered to fix my hair herself. Unfortunately after such a horrible experience and being treated like I was, I’m not so sure I’ll be coming back.

I went in to see Brooke today, and OMG!!! Love love love! I am a natural red head and wanted a little change. I had an all over color done and a haircut. The salon was very professional and very clean! Brooke was extremely knowledgeable about ALL of their color services. I loved them so much I booked my next apt at checkout.
Thank you Brooke!!!

I have been a frequent customer of Devanti’s for more than 5 years now. I can truly say that this is the best place to go in Denton for all your beauty needs, they are a full service salon and spa. The staff are always friendly and inviting. They remember me by name, and even my purchasing habits. They are always willing to inform me when a better product comes out, or if I might like a different product from what I am using.
I can not say enough positive things about Davanti, their service is top notch, every one is very talented, and their is nothing better out there than Aveda products.
