Avalanche Salon & Spa

I’m really shocked by all of the negative reviews. I have extremely thick, coarse, curly hair and truly have the hardest time finding someone to tame it. My stylist has been doing my hair for over 3 years now and she always does an excellent job. The salon is clean and well decorated, the front desk staff is pleasant, and I have never had a negative experience here (getting my hair cut every 2 months for 3 years). I’m always pleased with Avalanche and highly recommend it.

I went three times to this salon. The color was okay, I asked for an ash blonde and all three times my hair turned out brassy and yellow. I just got a trim and on some parts of my hair it is cut uneven. In addition, the staff there is unprofessional. They talk about their personal lives while cutting/​coloring your hair. When I am at a salon I do not want to hear about how my stylist got drunk the previous night. Also, the ladies that work at the front desk are rude and not helpful when trying to make an appointment. They acted as if I was being difficult since they couldn’t find a day and time that was available for me to come in to get my hair done.

Poor haircut by the owner Sal that is way overpriced for his talents/​experience level. He has no clue as to analyzing a person type of hair for the haircut you might suggest. If you show him a picture, he will just cut it that way but if your hair isn’t going to work for the haircut in the picture he doesn’t offer any suggestions or analyze the hair for the cut. My hair is super thin and pin straight, but gets frizzy, limp and separates in humid weather. He cut my hair, it seemed somewhat close to the picture not saying anything but OK it will look good. A a week later it was just hanging wrong, separated, frizzed out, in humid weather, limp, no shape, looked terrible. I went back, he said that’s what you showed me so I cut it that way, he re-​cut it again and it still looked like crap with-​in a week. Are you kidding? If my hair were analyzed for like you would think a master stylist, highly experienced professional/​owner would do my hair would, he would not have have been cut like the picture. He should have told me what the Hair Cuttery said about the length, texture and type of hair I have before cutting my hair in this style. He commands $ 78 dollars for a cut and blowout this is a ridiculous price for someone who did nothing but cut my hair from a picture. He additionally finished my thin pin straight hair by flat ironing the whole head, looked pasted to my head and is damaging to thin hair. I felt that was ridiculous since I never asked him to do this. I went to the Hair Cuttery about 3 weeks later since I couldn’t do anything with this limp ugly haircut. I was told it’s best to cut the bottom off so it won’t separate and will retain better style and shape at $ 26.Don’t waste your money and time with this person, nice guy bad stylist, totally not worth the money. Apparently it’s all about money with him not presenting his talents and expereince in different hair types, styles for hair.

If I could give this salon a zero I would. Do not go there. Went to a stylist and was not happy. Went back to the owner Stephanie 3 months later and she was worse. Did not care at all about my last experience and gave me worse color & cut than original. Stay away!

I have naturally curly hair and I have never, not once in my life gone into a salon and left happy. Pami was incredible. She gave me the best haircut I’ve ever gotten in my life for an unbeatable price. I will 100% be back

I’m really surprised by the bad reviews because I love it here. I’ve been going for over a year now and always have a great experience, leaving with a great cut and color. My hair is plain and thin and dull and Kaitlyn always manages to make it look better than any other place I’ve been to. Other reviews talk about a long wait, I’ve never waited more than a minute or two. They have a sitting area with a keurig where you can help yourself to a drink and by the time I make myself coffee, I’m already being called back. They always offer me more to drink and are friendly. I like the décor and layout too, it’s not like most salons around here. Very «woodsy» with logs and bears and different mountain-​type decorations (I don’t know how else to describe it), but I really like it! It’s comfortable. I got my hair colored right before my wedding and I had the more compliments on my hair color than I have had my entire life! Kaitlyn knows what she’s doing!

I was supposed to have my hair colored today. I showed up for my appointment on time however was left waiting for almost half an hour with no sign of my stylist in sight. The front desk offered nothing to alleviate my wait such as a drink. When I expressed my concern I was told that I would be helped in a minute. This of course turned into another 15 minute wait. I got up and left. The front desk asked if I wanted to reschedule. When I said no I thought she would offer a free blow out or some kind of discount. She simply said, «ok» and let me leave. I will not return to this salon due to the complete lack of care for their customers. I was looking for hair stylists for my wedding. Good to know this place in unreliable. At least they saved me from making that mistake.

Got my hair cut here once, and after the experience I don’t plan to go back. I’ve had the same haircut for years, just some layering to my long hair. I was very explicit that I wanted my hair to remain below a certain length and she cut it way way too short. I don’t feel like she listened to what I said at all. Additionally, the layout of the salon makes it very noisy and feel impersonal.

Sal is simply an expert stylist who knows exactly what he is doing and the results prove it. What a relief to sit in his chair and know you’re in good hands and will leave with a beautiful, stylish cut, without having to worry about the results. I have short hair and in the hands of the wrong person it can look like a helmet, or too heavy in places. Sal gets it, and it looks right every time. I had to move away and miss him every time I get a cut somewhere else. You are lucky if he is in your neighborhood!
