Melany did an amazing job cutting my hair today! I got a wash, overall trim, and long layers. My hair feels and looks great. I highly recommend going to Aveda in Shenandoah and booking an appointment with Melany, she is super kind, funny, and understands what you’re wanting. 10/10

I took my 14 yr old daughter here on Friday and she loves her haircut! Her stylist was Nyllah and she was great! My daughter said she seemed a bit nervous, but she did great! We felt bad because we had to leave to get to somewhere else before her hair was fully blowdried. My daughter likes her so much, she wanted me to leave a review so others would know!

I needed to get my roots touched up and went to Aveda. My stylist was a young woman named Sky. I noticed she seemed a little nervous at first, but at the end, she did an excellent job. I have a lot of hair, and I know it can often be challenging to work with, but Sky took her time, following the instructions of her educator, and making sure to fix anything that wasn't quite right. Sky, thank you so much for your patience and effort in achieving a great result on my root touch-up without affecting my highlights. I'm happy with my hair color. Great job! đź’–đź’–
