How It Started

The Avenue is a vision created by husband and wife team, Evan and Olivia Porter. They both have roots in the Southern Illinois area, but spent time living and working in Salt Lake City, Utah.

After having had the opportunity to work alongside leading professionals in the industry, in the highest rated barbershops and salons the city had to offer, they decided to bring the experience and knowledge they had acquired back home to Southern Illinois.

In August 2017, The Avenue opened its doors in Herrin, Illinois with a team that is comprised of local professionals with outstanding skills and a wholehearted belief in our mission.

Following such success with our fresh approach to servicing our clients, in October of 2020 The Avenue opened a traditional Barbershop in Marion, Illinois. Finally and most recently, the Avenue began a build out for a newer and larger Herrin location and anticipates its completion this fall.

We are confident that our team is the most professional, educated and talented set of individuals in the Southern Illinois industry.

What Our Clients Have to Say About Us!

I am beyond impressed with the Avenue. Scheduling was straightforward, and they sent reminder appt texts. When I arrived, I was able to check in via text. Bailey promptly took me to her station and worked magic. She was very professional and did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup. Throughout the appt, I received top tier service, and everyone there was so friendly. The business itself is impressive, I felt like I was stepping in to a high end boutique salon in a major city. I left looking like a million bucks, and I can’t recommend Bailey enough.

Stephanie Mueller

It is a really cool place in an old building. Great atmosphere, modern conveniences and an old school environment. They offer barbering service and full salon services. I would recommend giving them a shot!

Carl Vaughn

My hairstylist Kyliegh and the experience was AMAZING. Best haircut ive gotten hands down, would highly recommend!! (Had to edit review cause i wrote it on one hour of sleep and wrote barber instead of hairstylist)

James Toller

I had the pleasure of receiving The Avenue Signature Facial with the High Frequency treatment at The Avenue Barber Shop and Salon in Herrin, IL, and I couldn't be more impressed!

From the moment I arrived, Macie, my esthetician, made me feel completely welcome and comfortable. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the facial process, which I truly appreciated. It was clear she is not only skilled but also passionate about providing top-quality care.

The treatment itself was incredibly relaxing and my skin felt absolutely amazing afterward—refreshed, clean, and glowing. I also loved how Macie followed up after the service and took the time to get my input. Her attention to detail and professionalism were outstanding.

I highly recommend Macie and The Avenue Signature Facial for anyone looking to treat themselves to a high-quality skincare experience in a friendly and welcoming environment!

Sandy Jaquez

Absolutely loved it. Staff was great, barbers were very skilled, top tier products, love the atmosphere, very fair pricing. no complaints at all. Has been my to go to for years now and would definitely recommend going.

Nick Schlindwein

My favorite spot to get a nice fade. All of their staff makes you feel right at home. High skill level and professional on every level. 10/10 recommend for not only barber services but salon base services, spa and any others

Jay B

I absolutely love this salon. I was welcomed as soon as i walked in and never once during my service did i feel uncomfortable. Tori was my stylist and not only did she listen to all my worries but she took her time to make sure i loved my experience and my hair before leaving the salon. i’ve had plenty of scary salon experiences but this was far from that. the entire staff seems so friendly and the environment is so warm and welcoming. so thankful i got to experience this salon. i cannot wait to come back.
