Last year, I thought I’d had the best haircut experience at Aveda, and I thought it couldn’t get better. But on Feb. 29 the service and expertise at Aveda was just off the charts! After the cut, my very curly hair looked better than it ever has. I felt cared for and understood. The ancillary service, teamwork, friendliness, and competent procedures were excellent! I especially enjoyed the supportive and respectful interaction between Kassidy, my stylist, and her instructor. They went far beyond just creating a great haircut; they were informative, and helpful about caring for my hair at home. Kassidy was particularly good at explaining what products she’d use and why that product was the best one for my hair. I learned how to apply product to my hair at home; rather than just ‘smearing it on’. And, oh, I got myriad tips about my home hair care. (I’ve had a chance to incorporate these hair care methods at home, and they really, really work!) If I were to pick the best part of my experience, I would have to say the teamwork. Kassidy and her instructor were very respectful of each other; that helped me feel more confident about my haircut. I just knew it would be great. And Kassidy is a new student! (That makes me happy because she’ll be there when I need another haircut.) It’s amazing watching the whole Aveda team … from the folks at the counter, the instructors, and even fellow students stand together. Can’t wait till my next cut or other service. It’s a relief that I am able to trust that the service, products, and overall experience will be great.

I have gotten hair did sporadically for years here and I do have some regrettable moments being a picky knit picker too, but in my experiences, faculties are usually quite accommodating and fair- I can tell they care about the students a lot- and as a squeaky wheel customer, I get to be a part of students learning journey too. It’s of course a hit and a miss at the time, but I find it to be the case anyways for the regular salon until I find a special match- its hard to come by like any romantic partner to find the one lol- since I lost my ultimate hair styling person, it’s been the case for me for years.. so I keep coming back to the school to get things done that I need to get them done the way I want them done, even if I need to come back to get it re- done. The OCD part of me 😅🔫 sigh. There’s less egos to battle since they are learning and there’s a super great faculty who does bang trims if avail. Of course the pricing is hard to beat- so if you got some guts n ballz to squeak to get what you want, it might worth it for you too. 😛🧡

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."
