Chris Avante

With barbershop culture re-emerging in the realm of men’s grooming, men of all backgrounds, races and sexual orientations are looking for spots where they can get trimmed and faded. One of the newest shops in Oak Lawn, located at 3409 Cedar Springs Road, is Atelier, an elevated barbershop with luxury salon amenities. Owner Chris Avanti says Atelier cultivates a safe, inclusive environment for everyone who walks through the door. This is #Kruto52. Chris Avante, barber extraordinaire and businessman has outdone himself with his newest concept – Atelier Barber Co., a new take on a client-driven barbershop experience that strives to leave each guest looking (and feeling) their best. With complimentary Kruto cocktails in hand, clients relax and enjoy their services in a chic, upscale atmosphere designed by the shop’s owner. “Anyone who comes here is going to get a quality haircut from any of our barbers,” Avanti says. “We are not just trying to sell a pretty image. I want us to stand out. I’m giving them the total package.” Avante epitomizes smooth styles and effortless aesthetics with his precise barber skill and sense of high fashion. We couldn’t be more excited to have him in our ranks of Dallas creatives!
