What is your Cancellation policy?
We ask our customers to cancel their appointment at least 24 hours in advance for all single services and 48 hours for any 2 or more services.

We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
We also accept Spa Finder and Spa Wish Gift Cards. If there is a remaining balance on a Spa Finder/Wish gift card, it will be given on an Avanti Gift Card. We do not accept Spa Week gift cards, nor do we accept checks.
Why do your hair services have different prices?
In our Hair Department…we work on a European level system. To accommodate a variety of guests and budgets, we use a level system to help you choose a team member that is right for you. A stylist’s experience, skillset, and demand helps determine the stylist’s level, which in turn determines that stylist’s pricing. In the event your stylist moves up a level and their price should exceed your budget; your stylist will be happy to recommend another team member for you. Our menus display a “Starting At” price for services, as our team of designers are classified by availability, education, and demand. You may schedule an appointment for a complimentary consultation to get an exact cost. We offer 9 different levels for you to choose from…Level 1 being our Jr. Stylists and Level 9 being our Artistic Director. All our team members are committed to bestowing upon you, our guest, the highest level of service including customized product recommendations.
What is your policy regarding Avanti Gift Certificates?
Gift Certificates that are issued as a dollar amount can be used for any service provided by our salon and spa, including the purchase of products, however they cannot be used to purchase other gift cards, or online gift certificates. All remaining balances must remain on your card and cannot be redeemed for cash. Avanti Day Resort is not responsible for cards that are lost, stolen, damaged or used without authorization.
