Avalon Salon first opened its doors to Dallas patrons February 22, 1990 in Snider Plaza, a Highland Park retail center adjacent to the SMU law school. This Aveda Concept Salon was co-founded by business partners and close friends, Ric Bowden and Lawrence Bonanno. To create the Avalon culture, they cultivated an atmosphere based on job security by establishing multiple educational programs, opportunities for advancement, and a “people first” environment. To this day, these are still the core values that drive our thriving business.

Over the next ten years, Avalon Salons expanded into the vibrant community of Uptown Dallas. New salons were opened, and for the first time, spa services were introduced. In 2001, Avalon Salon/Spa at the West Village opened as the largest salon in the company. Even today, the further expanding West Village is still one of the busiest retail/restaurant areas in the city. With a full spa located within the salon, guests can unwind after a long day in the office with a therapeutic massage or calming facial.

In February of 2007, Avalon Salon opened in North Dallas at the Galleria Dallas offering a complete Aveda retail store and a full service hair salon. Galleria Dallas offers an unequalled shopping environment including a unique collection of boutiques, restaurants and experiences. And as the area is also home to the Westin Galleria Hotel, Avalon works with Westin to provide services to business travellers and vacationers alike.

Avalon Salon Victory Park is the newest member of the family and addition to the amazing Victory Park district. Recently opened in November 2007, the salon hosts 16 chairs and 3 treatment rooms. Located inside of the Lifestyle Fashion Terminal (LFT) on Victory Park Lane, this Aveda Lifestyle salon will provide our signature Avalon style to the residents and business community of Victory Park and urban Dallas, traveling guests of the W Hotel and Mandarin Oriental, and the sports fans and concert-goers of the American Airlines Center.
