I have gone here for facials for several years and always impressed with the students. The last 2 were excellent. Never had any issues with my appointment time. I do think the students could be a bit quieter in the hallways when treatments are happening but overall a great place to get an affordable facial.

Percy did my haircut today, styled with a shag :) Actually so fantastic, I can't stop looking at it and touching my own hair. She's just a student now so I can't wait to see how her skills develop if this is what she's capable of now at her current level. Will definitely be coming back in the future for touch ups

What They Say About Us

"My favorite part about the AVEDA Institute is the level of growth I have experienced. This process began from day one with the specialized, individual attention I received from my educators. This attention has continued and I feel very comfortable being able to express myself in ways I didn't think possible. Now I'm very outgoing and have the confidence to perform all techniques I've learned. So far this career is a really great journey and I enjoy being challenged at the AVEDA Institute, which has truly encouraged me to be the best "me" I can be."
