Avalon Salon

The colorist Selene is truly amazing! Every time she colors my hair, it is a true work of art! I am so blessed to have found her!!!

I was referred to this salon and Birdie for nice hair color and reasonable price. It was that and more! When I walked in I instantly felt relaxed. The scents of Aveda products are so nice! Birdie obviously knew much about hair color and gave me a beautiful shade of brown for the fall. I am so glad to have found her at this salon. Loosing my previous colorist, was like loosing a long time friend. Highly recommend this salon and Birdie for color.

Been going to Avalon for 7 years and convinced my husband to start coming here too. I love the location, but parking on Saturdays can be an issue.
Enjoyed Beth for cut for so many years (she recently moved to Cali), and have since started going to Emily (who also recently relocated to McKinney).
Chris does a fantastic job for color.
Love Avalon!

Super sub par — would not recommend to a friend and was over charged without even being asked. Went in for the first time for a partial highlight and the women who did my hair was nice but seemed like she didn’t care at all and treated me like I was just a dollar sign. Her technique was horrible — she teased my whole head and then her and an assistant spent over 20 minutes ferociously ripping my hair out trying to brush it out — I have never gone through that before in my life and have been getting my hair done for over 15 years. Won’t go back. And won’t recommend to a friend.

I booked my appointment online with Heather and she did a great job! I’m very happy with my cut and style and for under $ 50 that’s incredible for me to find! She was very friendly and helpful when it comes to products that will work the best for my specific hair type! I will definitely be returning

Kaylyn is a hair color artist! She listens and always knows the right color for your hair. I have been a client for over 16 years! I will never leave her!!!

Selene at Avalon came as a recommendation from a friend of mine, to help color correct my hair. And I must say, that I was beyond satisfied and so happy with my new color. Selene walked me through what she was going to do before she started, then she took the time to explain to me what she was doing and the process at each stage of my color correction. She was friendly, kind and ensured that I was happy with my hair and even took the extra time to make sure I got a product I needed to condition my damaged hair. I would recommend Selene to anyone needing color. The salon itself was quaint and all the staff was kind and friendly. Although the clientele they service is majority pretentious, the staff there treated everyone in a friendly, kind and professional manner. Thanks to Selene for making me feel like I can finally leave my house again and making my hair look STUNNING with a new color!

Awesome service, a welcome greeting at the front desk and an overall wonderful experience! I will be back and I highly recommend.

Just wanted to update everyone that Bethany is no longer here. But that doesn’t mean the salon has down-​graded or I am going elsewhere. They are still many great stylists to choose from and customer service remains top notch. I am sad I’ll no longer be getting haircuts from Bethany, but I wish her the best!

I’ve been getting my hair done here for two years now… Selene is amazing for color she always gets it right. I recommend her for anyone – I have short thick blonde hair and she always makes it look good! She does my color and Beth cuts my hair. She always makes me look good. They are my cute power duo. I love them!

I get my hair cut by Allison, and I have to say she does a phenomenal job. She’s a great person to talk to while sitting there and I get compliments all the time from people for my hair.
If you’re a dude and looking for someone to cut your hair, Allison does a great job. …This review is one of my shortest reviews, but I don’t know what else to say, she does good work.

This is a nice salon. Bethany is my go to girl for «big hair» blow outs. Emily and Mandy do a great blow out as well.

Avalon is one of the most reputable salons in Dallas. They have standed the test of time by providing great cuts and styles for all generations.
I grew up in the area and used to get cuts here in middle school. Since being back for a visit I knew I could trust this salon to give me a great cut.
Emily is an amazing hair stylist. She was receptive to my ideas and also provided creative input about what cut would look best. She really has a fantastic personality and is great at what she does!

Avalon is THE BEST! They deserve SIX STARS!!!
I’ve been going there for 10+ year… never strayed!
They have been with me through all my experiments with bangs, going a bit darker, highlights, low lights, you name it!
The staff AWESOME, they are professional yet kind and friendly. They are knowledgeable about the Aveda products they use however they are not pushy, you never feel like they are selling you something just for the hell of it. People ask me all the time where I get my hair done!

Avalon has been my salon for two decades (today is their 21^st anniversary). I’ve had different stylists (they tend to come and go) and different hair styles, but I’ve always been pleased with the outcome. They are very nice about working with me until I’m completely satisfied with the results. My fine curly hair can be a challenge so I appreciate their ability to work with it. The Aveda products they use are amazing and smell great. Avalon definitely isn’t cheap, but I think the quality of service they offer makes it worth it.
I’ve never had wait very long and am usually offered a beverage. Parking can be a real challenge in Snider Plaza but do keep an eye out for the few reserved spots in front.

I have been going to Avalon in Snider Plaza for 14yrs. The staff is always professional and helpful with products, scheduling and last minute appointments.
Crystal is the best colorist I have been to yet. She is very knowledgeable about the science of coloring and knowing what will look best for the person. I am blond and always struggle with not wanting my hair to look too orange or yellow. She knows how to achieve the right balance of highlights and color. I always get compliments on my color and love it everytime I leave.
Cariel is an awesome stylist as well. My haircuts always look good and she is good about not making my layers look too heavy or chunky. She is a great friend and very helpful with what will look good for my hair. I will miss her when she moves.
You can’t go wrong with this salon and this Avalon location.

I started going to Avalon after I moved to Dallas for college. I am a natural blonde, but I do highlight my hair, especially in the fall and winter because my hair gets bleached out in the spring in summer, and the new hair that grows out the fall and winter is darker since I’m not out in the sun. Thus, I want my roots to match my spring/​summer haircolor, which is, for the most part, natural.
I feel like few stylists can color blonde hair well, so I have always been concerned about my blonde highlights looking fake. But, from the first time I had Melissa color my hair, people started commenting on how pretty and soft of a blonde color it is. I have never had anyone question whether or not I am a natural blonde, even though I have highlights in my hair!
Melissa has now been coloring my hair ever since (4+ years), and I wouldn’t have it any other way. She and I have become great friends and keep up on facebook even when I am not sitting in her chair at Avalon.
The prices here are good, the products used are great, the stylists are skilled, and booking an appointment with the receptionists is so simple (they even call to remind you about your appointment the day before it is scheduled).
All in all, Avalon will take amazing care of your hair. Whether you are getting your hair cut, colored, or just blown out, the stylists at Avalon know what they are doing!

I’m a typical guy, I don’t know much about hair. At all. All I know is that Beth hooks me up at this place, I always get compliments when she cuts my hair. She always recommends the right products and styling tips and keeps it simple and easy for me to understand. It’s by appointment only but it’s totally worth it. She’s super friendly, she knows what the hell she’s doing, and it’s one less thing I have to worry about.
Ask for Beth.

A good friend referred me to her stylist here. I didn’t like the place at all. I was looking for someone who could give me some great ideas for a different style and it just didn’t happen. The stylist ended up doing the exact same thing that I’d been trying to move away from.
I also, being the bum that I am on the weekend, felt underdressed and out of place when I walked in. This is Highland Park at its best and (1) it was overly pretentious and (2) WAY EXPENSIVE. I’ll never go back.

12÷23÷07 EDIT: My old colorist has moved to Victory Park, and my new colorist, Meredith, is fantastic! Bumping to 4 stars. Probably soon to be 5 stars as I love Angela, my aesthetician, and my hair people have been doing a great job for awhile now!
Well, overall I was happy with my cut & color. When I first got there, I had to wait at least 15 minutes before my colorist, Michelle, came to get me which was slightly annoying as it was my first time there. Maybe this is more typical for your big salons, but I’m not used to it-​but not the end of the world. I should preface this by saying that I was making some major changes to my hair– going from long hair to short & blonde to brown. This shouldn’t even phase the salon or my service though… if anything, they should know that I might be SLIGHTLY panicked as I told her that my hair had been the same for about 10 years. Anyways, I guess she was running really behind, because after we talked about what we wanted to do to my hair, she went to mix up my color, & it took her around 15 minutes. She was talking to other hairdressers, trying to delegate who would shampoo who, who was scheduled where, etc. I just wanted someone to start on my hair! Since I was getting both highlights & lowlights (I darkened my hair, so they had to paint lowlights all over my hair since I had a lot of blonde), she was like, «Ok, now one of our color assistants if going to do your lowlight color.» I was like umm… isn’t that the most important part of my hair to make sure its not f.u.b.a.r.ed? So she walks over to him & says, «can you paint lowlights?» He nods, but sort of questioningly (as if this could be his first time… lol). At this point I am seriously like WTF are these people doing??? The guy that did my lowlights was actually really cool though– he seemed like he knew what he was doing. But the technique he was doing I had never seen before, so I was still freaking out a little bit. I just put put my head into my harry potter book & prayed my hair wouldn’t come out looking like Hermione’s.
Finally, my haircutter, Cameron, came to get me. She does the shampoo & takes me over to her salon chair. I look in the mirror to see if I can get a glimpse of the color, & it just looks dark– the blonde is definitely gone. So we decide on a cut, and she is really nice, and I finally feel like she isn’t rushed & is going to take her time. She reassures me that we’ll cut a little at a time & since we were cutting bangs, she says that we’ll start with them longer & then cut more if I want to. Finally, we have communication!
Obviously, I am rambling, but my hair ended up looking REALLY great. I think this salon actually does a great job & can probably do it with their hands tied behind their back, but for me making a drastic change, I just needed a little bit of comforting! I would definitely go back to my same «cutter,» but as for color, I wouldn’t mind trying someone new…
I have been here before to see Angela, the esthetician for facials & eyebrow waxes. I like her a lot– she is professional, respectful and most importantly, does a wonderful job! I always look forward to seeing her.
I am giving the salon 3 stars for now. I have always been 100% pleased with my facials & waxes. My hair today scared the shit out of me, to be quite honest, but it turned out well. So, we need to see how it goes next time in the hair department… as far as the wait & the smoothness…
