After graduating from high school, Ava worked at an adult bookstore in Sacramento while planning to study theater in Los Angeles. She became interested in the adult industry and performed in her first adult film, as a brunette named Jewel Valmont, for Seymore Butts in 1998. She soon dyed her hair blonde and changed her name to Ava Vincent, hoping to avoid confusion with other "Jewels" in the adult industry, such as Jewel De'Nyle and Jessica "Best Tits on the Planet" Jewel. She's had various off-screen romances with porn actors, including John Decker (to whom she is married) and Kurt Lockwood.
