Editorial Review for Aveda Institute – by Sandra Ramani

In Short
The space is a teaching center for disciples from all over the country who come to learn from the best colorists, stylists and therapists in the Aveda network. The hair salon offers cuts, ammonia-free color and deep-conditioning treatments. In the spa, deep-cleansing facials and back treatments are customized with the client's choice of essential oils; waxing and makeup applications are also available.

Do not color your hair there! I wanted highlights. I came there with caramel color highlights & left twice as a brunette with highlights. My hair was needlessly damged & the worst part of all no one cares at aveda. when my hair was washed-everyone disappeared,including the teachers-this was convenient for them since this was the end of the day. They knew the job was not good.The teachers don't care, when you are finished getting whatever service, they just nod in ök"" to the student & client; they get a salary & so they don't care! I waited on the tel. as others for about an hour until someone picked up to get an appointment. the teachers let the students do whatever they want & always agree with them as if they are almost afraid of them. Not a professional place!

AVOID if you need to stick to a schedule of appointments! On hold for an hour to make and appointment. On the day of my appointment, received a call 3 hours before appointment moving my time up 90 mins. Caller/scheduler was very rude about it. Couldn't work with me or offer any time options. As I was trying to fisure out another option, scheduler says "HELLOO?!!....as if I was supposed to fix the scheduling issue. Free is not worth being treated poorly. Pay for you haircut or go free ELSEWHERE!!!

Pros: Free

Cons: Mean people scheduling, did not keep my appointment as scheduled
