I recently visited Aveda & scheduled my appointment for a balayage and cut... after consulting with my stylist we ended up doing a partial highlight instead to achieve my hair colour inspiration! Veronica did such an amazing job, she was so professional & I left with the best results I've ever had from a student stylist. Already booked another appointment with her for the future and really admire the students' professionalism at this institute. I also purchased the botanical repair shampoo & conditioner, it's amazing so worth the $! Can't wait to go back!!!

I received a 90 minute facial which included various relaxing and soothing textures and aromas. It was my aesthetician's first day working in clients and let me tell you, her skills and professionalism appeared as if she's been doing facials for a lifetime. I highly recommend this service but especially with the Anaja the facial expert.

My hair doesn't tangle easy and it's not terribly damaged-it just isn't perfectly straight, which is fine. It makes more sense to go to professionals whose attitude is that hair is just hair-regardless of race-and give me the incredibly simple things I ask for without dehumanizing... read full review
