    I’ve been coming to avenues since I moved to Braintree in 2016. I’m always really happy with the quality of my haircut and very good value for money. I trust everyone here to do a great job. I get really good advice and high quality hair products from here as well. The team are lovely and it’s always nice being able to chat to Pam and Imogen while I’m there. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

    I had my first hair cut here today, (haven’t had my hair cut in almost a year) and I am absolutely over the moon with the results Trilby really took her time to understand what I wanted and made sure that it was prefect before I left! She was also able to help me work out the best shampoos for my hair that can be bought in high street stores! I am so happy and will 100% be returning.

    I’ve been coming to Avenues for a few years now for a colour and cut with Imogen. I did have really short hair and had wanted to grow it but without success with other hairdressers. Imogen got me through ‘the difficult stage’ which I prefer to call the ‘had enough, cut it all off stage’ and within no time I had the length I wanted and I am so pleased. If I can’t rebook with Imogen, Steph is also great with my cut and colour. Would highly recommend.

    Had my hair put up for a black tie awards event and wow! Not only did my hair look amazing (all of my friends commented) but the time and care taken by the team to make me look great was just amazing. The price was staggeringly reasonable too and my hair stayed in place all night. Thank you team, i’ll Be back!

    I have been coming to Avenues for well over 5 years and they have always done a fantastic job and will always try their hardest to fit you in, if you've had to cancel a previous appointment.
    They are very polite and welcoming and if you have any issue regarding your hair, they promptly advise you what is best!!
    They are a true and honest hair salon and you don't get ripped off by these high named salons... Their work is well done and will always do their best to meet your needs, in what you want!
    Pam, and her team are all qualified and know their knowledge.
    They are a wonderful salon!

    A salon where they are as friendly as they are professional, what else could you ask for? As a professional magician I need to look smart as well as modern and they've helped me do this over the past 7 years. Great job guys.

    I have had my hair cut and coloured here for a few years now and my hair looks the best it has ever been. They give honest and good advice and suggestions I would not go anywhere else, we are looking at moving over an hours drive away and I would still travel this distance to get my hair done. My children also get their hair cut here and they are up to date with what children are allowed in the schools and the latest styles. I highly recommend them.
