Avalon Institute of Cosmetology is great! I highly recommend. Over the last 12 months I’ve had several haircuts and three full all-over colors. I appreciate the beautiful cuts and color every visit. It’s also a plus having the reasonable prices on their services. I was fortunate to meet Megan today and she did a nice job with my haircut and full color. I found her to be cheerful, a good listener and cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. She’s also skilled at doing haircuts, color. I was very pleased and will be back to see her again. The person that took care of my hair last year was named Kitty. She also did a great job. On all my visits, I’ve been treated with friendly customer service and I’ve been fully satisfied each time.

I have been interested in cosmetology/esthetician school for years now. After doing tons of research, meetings with other schools, and reading reviews I decided Avalon Institute was going to be the school for me. I met with Sami she was beyond kind and thorough. She walked me through each program and answered all my questions with great knowledge and precision. I had many questions and she didn’t seem to get bothered or annoyed at all, which I really appreciated! She has worked and accommodated with my schedule multiple times and provided great service. She gave me a full walk-through of the building and the school. In depth. Everything was very modern and clean. I was extremely impressed by her and the school itself. I can proudly be saying I will be enrolling here! Thanks Sami and thank you Avalon! I can’t wait to start my journey here.
