She is so sweet and really listened to what I said. My hair came out exactly the way I pictured it! Thanks Bea, I will be back to see you!!
I just got my hair highlighted by Natalie at Avalon, she did a great job, plus she is really sweet! Everyone has been complimenting my hair, the highlights are so fine and natural looking, just like I wanted. I am so glad I found a stylist who actually listens to what I want! The salon is also nice and everyone who works there is very friendly and treats you like they know you when you walk in...
I found Avalon on the internet and chose it because it was close to my home. My appointment was made with Natalie Grubb, whom I did not know at the time. I love her!!! I'm a fan and won't go anywhere else! She does a great job, and really knows what she's doing. I've even started taking my teenage daughter to her too because I totally trust her! I highly recommend Natalie and Avalon! ...
I have been following Kellie for the past 5 years and all I can say is that Avalon is lucky to have her. She is such a great person to be around and her energy is always uplifting. I always feel so invigorated when I leave and my face is bright and dewy and I don't even need makeup. The stuff she uses smells so good I could eat it and I like that it is all natural and organic although I'm not ...
I found Avalon while I was searching online. I then called and was set up with Natalie. At that time, I didn't know how lucky I was to get her. :) She recommended a hairstyle that I thought wouldn't look good on me, even though I loved it on other people. It turned out to be the best cut I ever had! I was also a little hesitant about coloring my hair, but Natalie made me feel so comfortable bec...
I love this place its elegant there so polite i love the attention you get . They also do an amazing job with your hair! Recommended!!!
I had my hair done by Natalie and she did an excellent job. I was impressed by her skills. My highlights came out very nice and natural looking. I like very thin highlights that look natural and Natalie gave me just that. The salon is clean and low-key and the shampoo chairs are super comfy. I would recommend this salon.
I have been going to Avalon for over 5 years now and never have been disappointed, Natalie has done Keratin smoothing and Highlights on my hair and it looks Silky Smooth with Beautiful Highlights. I get so many compliments at work. I send all my friends there too. Won't go anywhere else. Thanks for the great service!
Well...darn! I was so relieved that Avalom had finally found an esthetician with a professional attitude, experienced and a great sense of humor! What happened to Martha? how is it estheticians never stay at Avalon for any length of time? That leads me to believe it could be a management issue.
No one would tell me where Martha had moved to when I called to schedule an appt., that seems ...
I searched the internet for a salon and found Avalon. I am so happy with my hair! Tonja took the time to talk with me and make me feel comfortable. I got exactly what I wanted! She is great and the salon feels like home. Everyone is so friendly!
I had been in need of a change. My old hair dresser kept doing the same thing over and over. I finally(after 4 years) decided to try another salon so Avalon it was. I got Tonja. I had read her many reviews and she and I were on the same page right away! I walked out with the look I had been wanting for so long! Great color and cut. The salon is nice and very accomadating. I rebooked and are telli...

My hair was in horrible condition. My daughter recommended I make an appt. wtih Natalie, and I will never leave her! I moved to FL for a year last year, and I came back to SA 3 times to have Natalie do my color and cut. She is the best I've ever found anywhere. I travel all the time with my work, and I have been to salons in Austin, LA and FL. No one is as good as Natalie. She listens to wh...
I went off of the recommendation of my mother to get my hair cut at Avalon. I made an appointment with Natalie and she did a fantastic job. I was very resistant because I was going to be cutting ALL of my hair off. I explained to her what I wanted and she did JUST that. I loved it! She had a welcoming personality and we ended up having a great conversation to go with my great hair cut. The ...
I AM A NEW CLIENT TO AVALON AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET TONJA. I READ HER REVIEWS HERE AND DECIDED TO GIVE HER A TRY AS I HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPY FOR A LONG TIME. TONJA GAVE ME EXACTLY WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR! NOT ONLY THE BEST COLOR AND HAIRCUT IN YEARS BUT HER PERSONALITY! SHES GREAT AND GAVE ME A BOOST FOR THE DAY! THANKS TONJA!
TONJA WAS MY STYLIST FOR MANY YEARS IN NEW YORK. NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT MY ENTIRE FAMILY! SHE IS SURE MISSED HERE. I HAD TO WRITE AND SAY HOW LUCKY AVALON AND SAN ANTONIO ARE TO HAVE HER! WE MISS HER!
I was a new client for a correction of color/ high light technique and brush up of a hair cut on August 14th 2009. It was a mess before I arrived at Avalon but after Tonja got a hold of my hair I walked out looking like a million bucks and not the blonde Ronald McDonald I felt like before she helped me(mind you I'm a natural blonde). First and far most, if your at the losing end of trying to a...
I WAS A NEW CLIENT WHO NEEDED A CHANGE. TONJA COLORED AND CUT MY HAIR EXACTLY THE WAY I WANTED AND MORE. I LEFT FELLING LIKE A NEW PERSON! THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND ACCOMADATING AS WELL. I LOVE THE REWARDS PROGRAM I AM REFERRING EVERYONE I KNOW TONJA!
TONJA CUT MY HAIR FOR MANY YEARS. SHE IS MISSED BUT A SURE ASSET TO AVALON SALON AND THOSE WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE HER AS A HAIR STYLIST!!! I AM SURE AVALON IS A GREAT CHOICE!
TONJA CUT MY HAIR AT ANOTHER SALON FOR ALMOST A YEAR. MY WIFE AND I FOLLOWED HER FROM THE ALAMO RANCH AREA. I RECOMMEND HER TO ALL MY MILITARY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
I had an awesome experience at Avalon! Rosa did a beautiful job on my hair and Martha did an amazing european facial, I felt so relaxed and rejuvenated! I will be back!!! friendly and welcoming staff...I would like to mention to a previous reviewer that remains anonymous, If you think Avalon is high in price, check other upscale salons,,you will see the prices are not bad at all!
OR you could ...
I have not had my hair done in awhile because I am always dissapointed with the results. I have thin hair and its hard to work with. I decided to try Avalon after reading the reviews. My appt was with Kourtney. She made me feel very comfortable as I was very nervous. The whole process was great from start to finish. She explained everything in the beginning and step by step as you went. She did f...
After moving to San Antonio, I waited awhile to find a stylist and did a lot of asking around . I wasn't satisfied with comments people gave me whether it had to do with price, personality of stylist, location, etc. After researching on the web, I found City Search and read the reviews of salons. I decided to give this salon a try because of the great reviews and I'm very glad I did! Monica h...
I have been going to Monica for years & follow her where ever she goes. She is great & keeps on a smile all the time. She is a good friend & I really trust her advise & helpful hints. Keep up the good work. A customer forever.
I've been going to Monica for 4 years now and I love her! I don't trust anyone else to touch my hair! She always cuts it right and the way I want it! She is quick but it's always perfect! I get in before my appointment and for a hair cut, wash and style, I am out in about 15 minutes! I recommend her to everyone who talks about getting their hair cut or styled. I had her do hair at my wedding and ...
After reading some of these reviews I thought I would try them out. My experience was so/so and I paid way too much for a haircut. Now I wonder how many of these reviews were written by their staff?
I went there because I thought they were a young hip salon. Yeah they're young alright. They are so young they don't know what the hell they are doing. Natalie talked to another stylist the whole time about some guy she went out with. Mean while she jacked my hair up. I only wanted a few high lights. Instead I looked like a spotted cheetah. I had to go to another salon to have them fix it. I wou...
Wow, It was like an out of body experience when Natalie manipulated my head, scalp and hair. It is obvious that she has invented her own style behind the chair. The pre-cut shampoo was simply glorious to say the least. From there, we waltzed our way over to her station where she sat me down on her chair or cutting throne. She pumped me up into the clouds and began to display her mastercraft. ...
I went into Avalon Hair Design on a whim since I live right down the street and boy I?m glad I did! I have been looking for a place to do my hair the way I want it for years. I made an appointment. with Natalie and not only was she very friendly but the whole experience was very relaxing. Not only did she cut my hair the way I wanted it but she took the time to show me how to style it and explain...
On the advice of my sister who gets her hair done here, i decided to give Avalon a try. I had been going to the same stylist for 3 years and was getting inceasingly unhappy with my hair. I went to Sarah at Avalon, who has been at this salon for over 5 years now, and I got the best cut and color I've had in YEARS. She really listened to what I was hating about my hair - years of highlights had mad...
I have been to this salon four times now and I just love it! Their professional, friendly staff are all top notch! They make you feel right at home and they listen to what you want and are more than willing to offer their honest professional input. I never miss an opportunity to recommend them because I am so impressed with their services. So pardon the pun, they are truly 'a cut above' all of th...
After visiting literally hundreds of salons over the last 10 years in many different states, including many in the San Antonio area, and spending literally thousands of dollars for bad haircuts and bad color, I decided to do some intense research on the Internet, instead of just picking out the next "big ad" in the local Yellow Pages. My travels on the Internet landed me at Avalon Hair Design & S...
I have been going to this salon for several years now. I have had many visits to the salon and every time i am there i feel right at home. The stylist i see there is Sarah and she does a fantastic job. She colors my hair every four weeks and i love it!! I would highly recommend Sarah.
I have always had a hard time figuring out how to get the right hairstyle. From my first visit to Avalon Salon, I new that I had found the Salon that I would be returning to again and again. It's been a year and a half now, and I have never looked better. Their Staff is incredibly talented and have an extensive knowledge of all the current "tricks of the trade". Communication is excellent, and th...
I have been going to Sarah for many years and believe that this salon is the best in San Antonio. They really understand what you need and how to get you there. They are experts at what they do and at the same time are easy to work with..
Monica does an amazing cut and color! I made the mistake of going to an aveda salon and had my hair color completely botched. She corrected my color and made my hair the most beautiful shade. The cut was amazing as well she listen's intentively. And in turn gave me the best expeirence. Producing exactly what I had described. The staff is great as well no snooty receptionist here! Also love their ...
I've been going to Avalon from the day they opened their doors, and I've never been disappointed. They've done an amazing job of creating an atmosphere that feels comfortable, and not pretentious. Avalon delivers high end quality services at an affordable price. I'm extremely sensitive to what I do with my hair because it's curly. Natalie has always taken the time to recommend products and servic...
I was so disappointed in my hair cut from Sarah, especially after reading all the wonderful reviews on Citysearch!! I felt as though she did not listen to what I wanted AT ALL, and I was very specific. She was about to cut a huge hunk of bangs back into my hair, after I sepcifically told her I was growing them out. In addition, I requested a very popular hair cut, and she did not deliver. I f...
This was my first visit to Avalon and when I walked in I just knew that I found my new "home-salon". I have been getting my hair done for many years by various salons and have not always been completely happy. However, at Avalon I left 100% happy with the outcome. The minute I walked in the salon everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Monica did an awesome job on my color and hair cut. I hav...
I have been getting my haircut by Sarah for the last 3 years. In my experience she is the best hairdresser that I have ever had. I have never walked away with a bad haircut from her. In fact, I have LOVED every single cut she has ever given me. She is patient, friendly and extremely talented. The service is amazing and the products that they use are the best. I feel like a million bucks when I w...
I have wanted to find a new stylist for a while now. After a careful review of this site, I got the courage to leave my salon/hairdress and make an appointment with Liz at Avalon. I was holding my breath because you never know how these things are going to turn out, but she did a great job with my hair and I was really pleased. I made a color appointment with her for the following week, and was...
Getting highlights can sometimes be a scary choice for a girl, but Natalie is at the top of her game when it comes to color and highlights! She makes sure you get the "natural" look which takes some skill, and she definitely has what it takes to make you look like a rockstar! Their prices are very reasonable and the outcome and professional advice you receive is priceless! I have recommended this...
I'm in a hurry so I'll try to write fast and hope that it makes sense. I have been searching for someone to do my hair for so long. Let's say that I have been looking for 6 years! Last year I tried Hair Studio @ Sonterra and after paying $ 180.00 I walked away crying from the nightmare and having to pay more money at the store to at least use box dye to get my hair to a decent color. So still nee...
I just recently moved back to SA from living in Florida for 4 years and I have struggled trying to find the perfect salon and stylist and I need not look any further! Monica is the absolute best at Avalon and the staff made sure I was comfortable and situated the moment I walked in the door. They properly greeted me with their warm and welcoming smiles! Monica has such a bubbly and witty personal...
My gray was out of control and I have had some bad experiences at other salons. I always wanted to maintain my natural hair color and I would end up getting a completely different hair color then what I wanted. My co-worker recommended I visit her stylist, Natalie at Avalon. When I arrived, Natalie and the staff welcomed me, she then took her time to discuss the cut and color. Not only did Natali...
I had an appt for Denise for my monthly facial and treatment, I received a call at the last minute that Denise is no longer there and that no one at the salon can do the service she provided. They would not give me any information or where she had gone. So I guess they no longer provide service for facials that they advertise in their brochure or website. I will no longer go to this salon becaus...
I went in to get my brows waxed and Denise took the time to make sure they were perfect and just what I wanted. She did not rush me or make me feel like she was on a time frame. We also talked about skin care and she made suggestions of things I could do and should do to make my skin look its best. I did not feel like I needed to go home and throw all my other stuff away, she just added a few pro...
I have been to other stylists and i can't ever seem to get the cut i want. The cut and color are always perfect and exactly what i ask for! I'm always satisfied. Jessica is great and makes me look wonderful! Go see her!
Elizabeth (Liz) has been doing my hair for a very long time and I'm never disappointed. The cut is always just what I want but the color is OUTSTANDING. She takes the time to find out what you want and explains exactly what process she will be using. She's a kind and thought professional that's interested in bringing out the very best in her guest. Being lazy I made the mistake of seeing another ...
When I moved to San Antonio,Texas I tried many different places to get a great hair cut and color. As a
result of a bad experience in trying my hair was in bad condition. Finally I was very lucky and found
Natalie at Avalon Hair Design and Spa. She gave me a really Sassy hair cut and color and got my hair in great shape, and she has been doing a shampoo and style every week and cut and col...
I found Avalon on citysearch (of course!) and called up to make an appt. and spoke with Bill. Super nice and friendly, he was able to book me an appt. with Liz for the following day (awesome!!) and I could not have had a better experience. I have short, curly hair and have had little luck finding a good hairstylist, but since moving here a few weeks ago, I have been asking everyone I know for a...
I moved to San Antonio and was really concerned that I wouldn't find a good hair stylist. Not only did a find a good stylist, but I found an awesome one. Natalie is the best. She is professional, competent, and very friendly. She treats me like I am her only customer. I most strongly recommend her and the entire staff to my friends and family. I am truly grateful that someone recommended Na...
I am new to San Antonio and have been looking for a hair stylist for a while and have been a few places in the last 9 months and have not been impressed at all at any of my experiances until now! My experiance with LIZ (and I do mean LIZ with all caps.) because my high and low lights were FABULOUS, and the cut was the best I have had since i lived in New York and paid triple what i paid here. I ...
As soon as I walked into the salon I was greeted with an hello and a smile, within 30 seconds I was offered water or coffee. This was my first time coming to this salon and after my visit, I will never go to anyone else again!!! I had an appointment with Elizabeth. I told her what I wanted based upon the shape of my face, brought a picture for her to look at, and she did exactly the hairstyle ...
I just recently moved back to SA from living in Florida for 4 years and I have struggled trying to find the perfect salon and stylist and I need not look any further! Michelle is the absolute best at Avalon and the staff made sure I was comfortable and situated the moment I walked in the door. They properly greeted me with their warm and welcoming smiles!

Liz has been doing my hair for 10 years and i wont go to no one else . she always knows what style and colors to blend for what i am looking for . Not only is she a awesome hair specialist she is great to talk to .. I always enjoy seeing her because i know when i walk out of the salon i feel great and my hair looks beautiful .

My name is Lisa Varen. I am a Professional Model here in San Antonio. I always have to be ready for my next phoot shoot or event. Elizabeth always makes my hair look extravagant. She brings out the natural beauty in my hair. I would never want anyone else to touch my hair. I highly recommend Liz she is a Exceptional, Professional, Personable Hair specialists. Thank you Liz. ...
I have been going to Rosa for over a year. I recommend her to everyone I know. I love to change my style and she is always willing to try whatever I want. She makes sure she is never over booked so I get personal attention every time. When I first went to Rosa I had long hair and wanted to go short. I took in a picture of what I wanted and she did it perfectly. Now that I have been going to...
Everytime I go into Avalon I will only see Natalie. She has transformed my hair from boring to amazing! There were times I did not know what to do with my hair and she would make a suggestion and cut/style away. I have LOVED every style that Natalie envisioned for me! Natalie is very easy to talk to and always smiling. GO SEE NATALIE TODAY!!!
When i went to have my hair high lighted i was new to the salon and very nervous. i had a stylist named Liz , and she did an AWESOME job!!! i couldn't have asked for a better job. I went to Toni and guy in the past but from now on i will be going to Liz. I felt really comfortable with her she was very nice and very professional!! My over all experience was excellent!!
Liz has been doing my hair for years...and I am yet to be disappointed! I usually have an idea of what I want when I go into see her, but she always seems to amaze me. I can give her an idea of what I kind of want and she can turn it into something wonderful! When it come to color, she's probably on one of the best. Her artistic touch really adds to her talent as a hair dresser and I always love ...
This is the best salon I have ever been to. Being military I have lived in 7 different states over the last 12 years, and it is always scary to find a new salon. I tried one salon (Folawns) and had a horrible experience, they were very cold and did such a poor job on my nails, that I was a fraid to get anything else done. While at my sons Orthodontist appointment I noticed a women who had beaut...

Michelle has cut my hair for the last twenty years. Honestly, where ever she is is where I go. Over the years
I have traveled sometimes as far as a 5 hour flight. Now that she's at Avalon I think she is truly home. Great
friendly staff, professional and well educated in their craft. I've never seen anyone leave without a smile on their face. Here's a tip for the year. GO SEE MICHELLE AT A...
Great Salon friendly personal. Michelle is wonderful. An artist when it comes to color and cut. You won't be disappointed
I was referred to Michelle Edwards by my boss. I had gone to another salon and was not happy with the color result. I went to Michelle in a panic and she ?color corrected? my hair and worked with me, on conditioning and care, until I was able to get high lights. I am very happy with the service I received. She gained a customer and a referral service. I tell everyone about Michelle and Sal...
I would like to say that Michelle Edwards does amazing things with hair. I have "difficult" hair with high maintenance needs. She is a highly trained color expert and has skillful/modern cutting techniques. Staying on top of the current trends makes her able to update any style or give you a new look. She begins with a consultation and will discuss your wants and needs, while making sure your ...
The first time I went to Avalon, I was impressed by the excellent service Michelle gave. The haircut was done professionally and with care. I felt I mattered to Michelle and the staff, who made me feel wanted and appreciated. She was friendly and asked lots of questions. I enjoyed my visit and will come back again soon!
I was very impressed with this salon. The people were very friendly and my stylist did a fantastic job on my hair. They even offered me a glass of wine!! I can't wait to go in for a pedicure and manicure. I would recommend this salon to everyone.
My gray was out of control and I have had some bad experiences at other salons.

Great Salon, I am new to San Antonio and was referred to Avalon by a co-worker. My stylist (Natalie) did a wonderful job on my highlights and I will strongly recommend Avalon to all my friends. Also the atmosphere is very pleasant, they make you feel like family.
I had an appointment and waited over an hour. than they fried my hair I can't believe that are in Stone Oak they are horrible! The owner is rude, the stylists are inexperienced! I also had a pedicure and facial. It is not worth what they charge!I will never go back! Unprofessional staff and my hair was ruined had to get it cut short and it was past my shoulders. After this experience I checked in...
This is an establishment that you must make an appointment with in order to get service but is worth the time. The services they provide hair, facial, nails are excellent and very competitve in price. They create a relaxing atmosphere and their location is convenient.
