Cinta Aveda Institute

The Cinta Aveda Institute is a premier full-service salon, spa, and beauty school with locations in San Francisco and San Jose. The institute not only equips students with the right tools, programs, and resources to start their careers in the beauty industry, but it also offers guests the opportunity to enjoy low-cost services performed by students under the supervision of educators. The institute provides a wide range of services, including hair cuts, color, and blowouts, as well as makeup, massage, and facial treatments. Students are trained in Aveda products and rituals to provide guests with an aromatic journey to wellness and beauty. While the hair stylists have generally been great, the institute's check-in process and appointment reliability have been reported as needing improvement. However, many guests have had positive experiences, such as a rejuvenating facial with a student named Alyssa and a great haircut with a stylist named Luci, who was guided by educators Amber and Emma.
