Avalon Salon

Feb 06, 2024

AAA Rated. Donette is the best. Absolutely loves her job, truly passionate about cutting hair, a master of her craft, and a genuine/sincere person. High quality stuff (brushes, shampoos, etc.) sold in store. Reasonable pricing. Unmatched. If I moved away from Albuquerque, I'd return periodically for no reason other than to see Donette (that's how good she is).

I didn't get a chance to get my hair done like i had planned because the client that was in there with my friend and i made us feel so uncomfortable and unwelcomed there. My friend has a feeding tube going down her nose and couldn't cover it up with her mask, mind you she did have her mouth covered. No body else seemed to have a problem with it but the ONE client. Kept talking about it over and over so we just up and left and found elsewhere to do my hair without any judgment from anyone about my friends feeding tube. It was annoying constantly hearing about it.

I don't know the name of the girl that cut my hair but she couldn't stand up straight and had her hair in her face. I was about to because I had been waiting nearly an hour when she called my name. I should have left but was told that I was in good hands, no not even close. She got one side 2 inches shorter than the other and the back was too long. Really bad experience, and they charge too much!

Stephanie gave me a great cut. All Covid protocols followed closely so I felt safe.

Stephanie is so awesome. She did an amazing job on my daughter's hair. She has long red hair and wanted long layers. Stephanie rose to the occasion and made my daughter's hair look brilliant. Thank You!!!

Been going to Avalon salon for about 10yrs now. Never been disappointed! It's a nice cozy shop to relax at & just kick back & let their awesome staff do their thing!

Both times I’ve gone to Kayla for my cut/color I’ve left with exactly what I wanted and my hair looking 💯!! She’s super talented and so friendly and honest about what will work and what won’t for your hair❤️❤️ Kayla is amazing here at Avalon!!

Donnette does my hair a deep maroon with purple undertones. The color lasts quite a while for red and I always get complements. Clean, comfortable and friendly environment.

First time, got an excellent cut & color, established wonderful rapport with an easy-going stylist. I will be back!

Kayla does my hair. Always does just what I want and always looks great!!

Kayla has been my hair stylist since she started doing hair. She always takes into consideration what I want done with my hair and turns it into something even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. She is kind, outgoing, and amazing at what she does. If you want someone to do your hair who really has an eye for it, then go to Kayla! Her personality makes all of those long color processes feel like minutes. She’s amazing at what she does and continues to want to learn more about hair each day. She really is an inspiration to everyone around her, she had a dream and went for it without hesitation. She still amazes me to this day how much she has grown as a hair stylist. Thanks for the beautiful locks Kayla!

Kayla is super great!

My hair is so fussy and I have had a problem with past stylists but Avalon Salon did the best job! I can leave the salon feeling awesome and go straight to an event. I would highly recommend them to anyone! They are color specialists and their extensions are incredible!

Great job Donnette. As always.

Donnette Padilla is the owner/operator and my long time stylist-friend - and is beyond a doubt THE best colorist, stylist I have ever had in the many (25+) years that I have had my hair in various stages of being cut, colored, permed, hi-lighted, long hair, short hair and beyond (ha!) and through it all she has been the expert and professional in all areas. Her shops are always beautiful and inviting a real "spa atmosphere" to experience being there! I look forward to the next 25 years with her! Yay!!

Great people, great place

I had been going to another Salon for over 8 years and was settling. Haven’t been happy with my hair in years. I sought out this salon because of the product lines offered. The owner not only did an amazing job on my hair but came up with a long term plan to improve length and quality of my hair. What an added benefit to have a plan to work toward as well as being educated on how to better care for my hair. Staff is friendly! I thought other clients were family.

Denise is the best hair stylist ever. I will never go anywhere else. :)

In good hands here and very reasonable prices. Sometimes booking can be iffy, but the job is done well. Can't wait for my next haircut!

Sarah M-R colors, cuts and styles my hair. She is simply amazing, and my hair, once a horror, now always looks fabulous.
