Had a bad experience with making a reservation here. I requested an appointment online. They called me back. Would you like 5 or 5:30? 5:30, I can’t make it there before then. Got 2 calls while I was at work followed by a text message saying my appointment was being rescheduled to 5. I called back. Sorry, I probably can’t be on time for 5 pm. They had a “problem with their scheduling system” apparently. Can you be here by 5:15? Maybe, I said. 5:25 rolls around and I am still driving in 5:25 pm traffic in Coral Gables. Are you still coming? Well yes, in 15 minutes, as soon as I can. We can’t accommodate that. Ok cancel it I guess???🤷🏻♀️Businesses making mistakes and then putting it on the customer make no sense to me.
This is a very professional salon andthey treat people with kindness!!!!!!!I love them all in this establishment!!!Highly recommend.I came in with serious highlightsissues and on the first visit I knewI was in the right place.Thank you guys you are awesome!!!!!!
I got a keratin here and my hair has never looked better! Rei was such a great stylist and so nice! Definitely recommend.
This place is amazing! Ray and Tina are the best. I always get exactly what I ask for. Love this place. When ice gone to other places, I instantly regret it. I will be their customer for life!
Men’s Haircut. There are not enough words to describe how great my cut is…….
First time client after reading several reviews. Tina did absolute magic on my hair. She did the kind of highlights and lowlights that bring life back to your hair. The cut and style were exactly what I wanted and looked beautiful. In addition to this and very important to me, she was punctual, warm and professional. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. The salon is quaint, clean, and has a boutique-chic feel to it. Nothing stuffy or pretentious here! Just highly competent and wonderful staff.
A relative recently visited this Salon, although we are from out of town how refreshing to see everyone’s Salon license, an English speaking staff and cleanliness. I am shocked to see so many Miami salons functioning without licensed employees for years and yet they are still in business!
I had a wonderful experience at Avalon Salon. Everyone was very sweet and accommodating, going far and beyond to provide excellent service. I received a gel manicure and pedicure, which look great! I also cut my hair and received a restorative hair treatment. I definitely recommend this salon!
Not only is an excellent professional, but a beautiful person
Wonderful place, and I love the new location. I’ve been going to Rei for years; he’s an amazingly talented professional and a very kind human.
Wonderful experience. I can’t be happier. I will be back. Tina is so skilled and loves what she does.I recommend this place 100 %
Rey and his staff do a fantastic job on my hair I highly recommend him.
I’m so happy with my experience at Avalon Salon. I walked in 10 mins before opening in hopes that I could do a walk-in mani pedi and they greeted me warmly with smiles beneath their masks. They accommodated me without a problem and my appointment began as soon as the nail tech walked in, about 5mins before they opened. Everyone was wearing their masks and there was a plastic divider between me and the nail tech. She did an incredible job and I love how it came out. Their prices and customer service were fantastic and I will certainly be returning(especially since the location is only 1 minute from my apartment)!
Good Service. The Best Location. Olga is amazing 👏
Super friendly staff! Wonderful overall experience and beautiful hair style for a special event.
I always have an amazing experience! The owner is friendly and accommodating, I call in the morning the day that I want to get my hair done and he’s always able to accommodate me with a time. He also styles hair beautiful and super on point! I always get my compliments after I cut my hair with him. This is best salon in The Gables and I’m happy that I have a hairstylist that is a true artist and cares about his customers :)
I always go with Tina or Ray. They are the best in town. I always leave looking fabulous!
Love this Salon! Olga, has been my stylist for almost two years and I recommend her if you’re thinking of getting done real dark colors, like blue or red she’s really good. I brought my daughter and she got blue highlights she was very happy with her new look.Everyone there are very nice and the place is always clean and I love that they disinfect everything even the chairs once they’re done.

They do a good job! They are nice! Its as simple as that! Thanks Lily!
Tina is a fabulous hair dresser/designer. I’ve been going to Tina for over almost 2 decades and she always delivers no matter what challenges I throw at her. Rey is also a fabulous hair designer and makeup artist. They make a great team and complement each other’s strengths. Everyone in the salon is down to earth, friendly and professional!! I highly recommend this salon for all needs!!
Monique did an INCREDIBLE job with my hair!! Everyone at the salon was super super nice. Monique took her time, made sure it was what I wanted, and gave me great tips to help. They also do student discounts and keep their prices super affordable! I am so happy, would definitely recommend.
Hands down best salon experience I’ve ever had! Everyone was so wonderful! Very pleasant atmosphere and my stylist was very thorough and did a beautiful job on my hair!
Rei did a fabulous job making me look my best. Love you to the moon and back.
Olga is excellent!

Im new to Coral Gables and chose Avalon because of their reviews. And the reviews were spot on. Super nice place, really nice people and Tina did a very good cut and style on my hair. Love it.

Avalon Salon is AMAZING! Everyone there is helpful, friendly and they do UNBELIEVABLE WORK! Tina changed my look in an amazing way and I couldn’t be happier with the results! She is WONDERFUL! Definitely give them a try! ❤️

Always courteous friendly an aim to please their clients. They perform fantastic work!, thank you Olga! highly recommend!!!
I love Avalon. I’ve been going for 15 years! The staff are my little family!♥️
I’ve had my hair cut with Rei for over 20 years and I always walk away satisfied and feeling like a “new” me. Short, long, and in-between, Rei cuts and styles a person’s hair to their liking...and he’s only as scissor happy as the client wants him to be.The staff at Avalon Salon is friendly, serviceable and highly professional. No reason to look for another salon in Coral Gables—once you’ve stepped into Avalon, you’ll never want to go anywhere else.
Rei and staff are excellent. Rei knows how to pampered you and leave you looking like a Hollywood start.
Amazing! What’s not to love about this place! Sweetest people and best products! Worth every penny
Ray is incredible! He rescued my badly damaged hair and gave me the best hair color/high lights EVER! Very reasonable priced and the products are superb! Everyone at the salon is extremely friendly, great atmosphere!
Excellent haircut. Listened and delivered. Manicure was great and I have rough nan hands
I first came to Rei for a cut and style over 5 years ago, and loved him so much that he ended up doing my hair for my wedding later that year. He’s been my hairdresser ever since, and he always does a fabulous job. It feels like visiting family every time I go back :) The entire staff is super friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Avalon to anyone wanting a haircut, haircolor, blow dry, nails, anything!
As always Olga was wonderful. I got a chit and walked out feeling sassy and happy. Prices are fair, staff is friendly, glass of wine is always appreciated by moi!
Professional and friendly atmosphere, where you come first. Tina and Rei keep up with the latest trends in hair fashion giving it a classic touch. Highly recommended.
Amazing salon!!! My color is perfect. I don’t know what I would do without Tina! Everyday somebody comments about my color. I would definitely recommend this salon!!
Everyone is amazing! Tina is the best!Love Monique, Christy and Rei
Rei colored, cut and styled my hair today! He is so experienced and just did his thing. I love this salon. Its the second time Ive colored my hair here and its always great and the prices are reasonable. Thanks Rei, Ill be back!
It was my first visit to Avalon Salon. Great service. Excellent vibe. Rei, the owner, was fabulous. He is incredibly knowledgeable and talented. Definitely going to be a return customer and try some of his other services.
The most amazing hair stylist 18 years and still going... superb service recommend this above the top to anyone.
I’ve been coming here for years and every time I’m blown away by the quality of customer service, the comfortable atmosphere where I feel like I’m surrounded by friends and family, and AMAZING hair that I ALWAYS end up leaving with. Tina is honestly the best at doing color and highlights on my hair, if you can get an appointment with her, you 100% should job the gun to do so.
I came to this salon to fix a bad haircut that I had before in another place.The result was much better that I was expecting, and the costumer service was amazing too.Thank you for the great experience Avalon Salon...100% recommended!
I love this place!! My husband and my kids get their haircuts here by rei and Tina, and they are amazing, such a cozy atmosphere and everyone there is super nice and makes you feel incredibly comfortable. I just finished doing my very first bayalage with Tina and she did an amazing job! I left the salon glowing! She did an amazing job with my hair, she colored it amazing, just how I wanted it and she did an amazing job with cutting and blow drying it! I am extremely happy and would recommend this place to anyone!!!! They do amazing hair, and they also do eyebrows and nails!!! You won’t be disappointed!
Highly recommend this salon. Monique is the queen of a perfect blowout. She also did a fabulous blonde highlight. 10/10
Very friendly and professional. Products were great, too.
I love Avalon Salon. Rei has been doing my hair for 10 years and he does the best color and haircuts. My blonde hair always looks so natural and soft. Avalon has the most talented stylists who will make sure you look amazing while maintaining healthy hair. I drive all the way from South Beach just to see Rei.
Rei is the Bomb. Been doing my hair with him for 20 years. Love this salon. My hair is on point. Thank you
Excellent service! Rei gave a great cut to my son and mom! Will we back again.
Everyone at the salon was so very nice to me. The owner Tina is an expert in hair . I received a gorgeous haircut !!!Thank u Tina, Monique& Christy!!!
Excellent mani and pedi
I love Avalon Salon. I discovered this place 10 years ago when I was working in the Gables. My hairstylist is Rei, the owner. They only use top quality products on your hair from the shampoo to the color. I work in the beauty industry so I am very aware of quality. My hair is blonde and my highlights always turn out so beautiful and natural looking, I highly recommend this salon, I drive down from Miami Beach just to see Rei.
The Salon looks amazing. Everyone is very friendly. Very satisfied with the hair color change. I came all the way from Cape Coral, and I will do the trip again when needed 🤗😊 thank you to the owner and all your team.
Went in to get a cut with my little sidekick and Rei and the crew changed his look completely. Always a great time, nice ambient and quick. I have never been happier with service this salon provides. Thanks Avalon Crew! See you soon!! XX/OO
I have been going to Avalon for a year now, and it is my favorite hair salon, very clean and nice. I always get my haircut and color with Rei, he is very professional and always recommends the best option for you. Ever since he changed my haircut I have been getting compliments.
Tina is amazing 5 star!!!!
I Love Avalon salon!! Great place ! Tina and Ray are masters hairstylist👏👏súper professionals and gonna take care of your hair!
Had a great experience getting an updo here last minute! Only reason I didn’t give it 5/5 is because the prices were higher than expected (I ended up paying $100 because they said they needed to blow dry my hair to the style... which was fine, I just didn’t realize it was going to increase the price that much)
I had my hair colored here and it turns out lovely! Price is fair and the services are great, I would definitely come back.
Tina, Ray and everybody at the salon are great. An overall great experience.
As ALWAYS! Excellent Work! Need I Say More?
Ray is amazing!!! Great service. I am loving my hair! I got exactly what I was looking for!
Always a special, relaxing, warm ambience at Avalon! REI is an amazingly talented, creative, professional stylist!
I have been going to Avalon salon for more than 8 years. Tina and Rei the owners are amazing! Not only are they Uber talented but they are so welcoming and gracious! The staff is friendly and accommodating ( great coffee or expiresso) The ambiance is calm and inviting. A huge plus is they offer “free” parking in the back of their salon Overall, when you choose Avalon you will leave with a chic do and a renewed spring in your step! Highly recommend! A++
Came in with super overgrown dark roots from a previous balayage. Tina completely redid my look, revitalized my roots, and gave me a well blended balayage which looks natural and cohesive! Clean place and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Tina and Rei are the bestI highly recommendThe best in Coral Gables
I went into a Avalon with a disaster to be fixed. Major color correction, needed a trim, and my hair was dry and porous.Rey and Tina evaluated the situation and not only did they fix it, the time I was there I felt taken care of, everyone was had a smile on their face, and they made it feel like a VIP experience for me. I went from blonde with orange roots and burnt white tips, to a cool auburn with blue tips. I cant wait to return and see what we can do next.Also, I saw a couple of longtime friends there and they claimed to have been going there for years, just as most of the clients that were there. Consistency and quality are very important to me, so that means a lot to see that.They also have facials, so that is my next step... if they are as good as the hair care: Im set with avalon for life!
Had my hair cut on Friday. A simple hair cut. The lady did a total hack job. My hair literally felt like I was wearing a wig.I had to go to another salon to get it corrected. Horrible.
Lovely !
Favorite place to cut my hair. They line it up very well and have the best styling products for when I wanna slick back my hair.
I went to have my hair fixed after a terrible color job at another salon. After speaking with Rey, I was told it could be fixed for $125. During the visit he added several special treatments that I assumed were part of his remedy because he was upfront at the beginning. Upon completion of the treatment I was informed the total was $320.The staff was pleasant enough during my visit but I was taken aback by the major miscommunication of not telling me everything upfront in an open and honest manner.If you go to the salon, be weary of what they tell you upfront.I will not be going back as a precaution.
I have been a patron of this salon for about 10 years now. This salon never disappoints. Avalon uses premium/great quality products and a provides a pleasant client service oriented atmosphere. The owner, Tina Marie, is always a pleasure to deal with. I like the INOA color line they carry from Loreal. Most of all, I love that they carry Paul Mitchell products, a brand that I love and use at home because of their long-standing commitment to selling cruelty free products.I
Great service.
Great Salon! Tina does a wonderful job and is so talented with color
Its true what they say! Friendly service, clean atmosphere, deliciois products to wash and condition your hair, and REY or REI or RAY idk how to spell it but HES A LIFESAVER! I ruined my bangs trying to cut them myself and he totally transformed the look! Im so excited about his work im definitely going back! This is my first review for ANY place and i have to give major Kudos to him and all the other staff for they were just wonderful. Affordable pricing aswell but i didnt paint my hair. If i was you id definitely give this place a try. I looked around and the other stylists seemed like they really know what they were doing especially with coloring!
Very good work, hair cut was impecable for an excellent price. Will definitely return in a month
Ive been going to Rei for over a decade now and could never consider going to anyone else for treatment of my hair. Rei and his staff are so humble, welcoming and professional. I walk out of there feeling like a million bucks! My mom, sister and nephews also go to Avalon Salon and always have a fantastic experience. I could not recommend Rei and his staff any more highly, theyre phenomenal!
Amazing Service and great sense of style. Thank you!
I have been going here for years and have never had a bad haircut. Everyone is very friendly and professional.
Tina was awesome. Thank you!
13 years going to Avalon and having my hair done with Rei. He is great as a hairstlylist and as a person the best.
Teamwork was amazing, as is my Hair!
Ray and the personnel are amazing people.
Great salon. I have made another appointment.
Great folks and awesome service!!!
Best keratin treatment I have ever received!!!
