Avanti Salon in the Back Bay area is famous for transforming simple workaholic-type women into glamorous eye-catchers. Hair color, manicures, pedicures, micro-dermabrasions, facials, and all that jazz has women flocking to 11, Newbury Street despite insufficient parking. White walls and white light with rectangular mirrors gives a spacious look to the place. Be sure to meet Bernice, Alex or Nancy; patrons can't seem to stop raving about how they boost one's glamour-quotient. Gift certificates are available.
