Avant Garde Studio Salon Spa

Imagine our delight when we went to Avant for a haircut and emerged with a whole new head (or so it felt). The reason? The shampoos at Avant are miracle cures. They go on for what seems like an eternity (still not long enough) and relax every nerve ending on your scalp and neck. They use therapeutic aromatic oils while you drift off in a world of tropical fruit scents and then are snapped back to the real world with pungent eucalyptus. Patty was one such sorceress, but magical shampoos seem to be de rigueur at Avant. The problem? They actually expect you to get up and walk to the barber's chair when they're done. Oh, and you get a pretty great haircut there, too.
