Best Hair Salon

Avant Garde Studio Salon Spa

There's lots of contention in this category - you're loyal to your hairdressers like Robert Goulet is to his hair gel. Avant's royal treatment is what keeps our readers in the chair. Aside from executing the latest and greatest "'do's," and helping you get rid of those pesky "don't's," Avant rubs it in with a post-op massage and pampering. As winner for the last three years, they brush past two-time winner Maximum FX. Aziz also gives you lots of bang for your buck - they take third.
