Avant Garde

Jaime F. is an awesome massage therapist. She knows her job and is amazing with fixing construction worked muscles. Avant Garde has very reasonable prices and great customer service!

Fantastic hair cut and customer service. I would definitely go back for hair care and since am preggo, try their ‘pregnancy massage’ see how that is… The fact that they offer a military discount only makes them better! Highly recommend

I always have the hardest time finding someone who knows what they are doing when cutting my hair and for the right price. Rose always does exactly what I want and it always looks awesome!

I have had the pleasure of having the very talented Rose cut, color and/​or style my hair for years now. I even make a 30 minute drive, because I know I’ll never leave her chair unsatisfied. She always delivers above and beyond my expectations. I’d highly recommend her if you want a stylist that actually cares how her clients look and feel.

I was a client of Gina ’ s for many years until I wanted to try a different hair style with which she was not comfortable. Instead of trying to create the style herself with the possibility of sending me home disappointed she suggested I try Jessica. I have been using Jess ever since and have been completely happy with her work. I especially like that Jess continues to hone her skills by taking classes and attending seminars which keep her skills on the cutting edge.

I just received my haircut from Rose at the salon yesterday. She has done my hair before and even did my wedding hair which I loved. I came in with a grown out ombré and asked if she could cover it up and give me a fresh haircut off a picture I saw on Pinterest. Rose did an excellent job and I am so happy with the cut and color I received. I would strongly suggest booking an appointment with Rose if you are in need of a color or cut.

Absolutely love this salon! Gina does my entire family’s hair except for my husband, he’s bald! My teenagers are 17, 17 & 15 and they always love their cuts & style! She’s become a friend of the family over the years. She pays attention to detail and is always going the extra distance to make sure we are all taken care of. I highly recommend any service done in this salon as the owner has knowledge and confidence combined with style and integrity; which in my book is always the making of a great business!!!

After Stephanie left Avant Garde I was a little reluctant about finding another massage therapist but having established myself as a regular there Gina offered me a session with their new massage therapist Jamie. I received an hour massage and was immediately sold on her professionalism, experience, and great personality. Today I was in for another massage with issues in my lower back as well as painful trigger points adjacent to my shoulder blades. As Jamie worked on my lower back I realized that despite feeling great relief I needed equal attention to those trigger points and asked if she could extend my massage to an hour and a half. Jamie was very attentive and agreed and honestly after that massage not only did my back feel so much better the pain I was experiencing in my lower back had subsided and I walked away not only feeling better but very relaxed and pain free.
Thank you Jamie!

I have been playing professional soccer so I have had many, many, MANY massages before. Jamie is the new massage therapist there. I was not too impressed of the massage therapist working there before her. But this time, the salon did an awesome job in finding the right therapist. I feel anew, every time I go in there. I have a very stressful job and Jamie has done a wonderful job relieving the stress and making my life easier.
I have been totally and pleasantly addicted to Massage with Jamie and eagerly look forward to my weekly visits there. She is kind, patient and very thorough in the exquisite physical and profoundly meditative treatments I happily receive each week. I have not yet encountered a super skilled, professionally trained and deeply caring, both physically and emotionally, therapist as she is.
Definitely go ahead and give it a try! You will feel anew guaranteed.

I called Gina last min to fix a super bad hair cut that i got and she did a wonderful job! My hair was hacked when i came in and she reconstructed it and made me feel awesome! She also taught me little tips while she was styling n my hair on how to get more volume! Great job! I bought this backcombing brush from her and it is AWESOME. My hair is so long its hard to get body but this brush was a god-​send; and to top it off it was only 7 dollars or so.
Her prices are reasonable as well.

I am new to the area and stopped in to grab a quick chair massage. Since I wasn’t spending a lot of money and hadn’t booked ahead, I wasn’t expecting much. Stephanie was absolutely delightful, so professional and kind, and went way over expectations for a ten dollar service. I have had many massages and I so appreciated the atmosphere, service, and friendliness. I will be back !

Being new residents to Lincoln, my husband and I have decided to keep our business local. We gave Avant Garde a try and have not been disappointed. I got a massage with Stephanie who was extremely professional and very talented. I have had many massages and her customer service and personal rapport is top notch. Gina cut and colored my hair. I am pretty plain so I needed a low maintanence cut for my long hair. She delivered! She was very knowledgable and her 20 years of experience shined brightly.
I will be returning!

UPDATE: 7÷24÷11 — Tried Avant Garde for a hair cut and was pleased with Gina. She added a few highlights that turned out well. One side of my hair was even on the length, but seemed off a bit on the side. Called Gina two days later and she had me come in the next morning. She fixed me right up and it looks great! Would highly recommend Avant Garde.

Love, love, love this salon! Great people and very talented too. Nice location right in the heart of Lincoln near fun boutiques and shops, cafes and restaurants. Very comfortable and not overly pretentious, but still a very sophisticated salon. They offer other spa services too like body wellness services.
