Ricardo, at the Gary Manuel Aveda Insitute is definitely one of the best talent at this fine establishment. I have read the other reviews on here and have to say that it is definitely with whom you choose to receive service from in which makes your experience a great one. At first, I totally pictured the institute looking more like a school rather than a full service, high end salon. I love the atmosphere. The staff and students appeared professional to me for each of my 2 visits there thus far. If you ever have the chance to experience Ricardo's manificent expertise, I believe you will be stunned at the end of your appointment. You will feel completely as ease and feel confident that you left your hair in good hands. I am a snob when it comes to just anyone touching my hair but I decided to give Ricardo a try. Why? He exudes class and have to admit, a great salesperson. He convinced me. He took my long, one length super straight hair which ended at the curve of my back and turned it into a three-tiered supermodel volume of loose, wavy curls. My hair has never been able to keep curls. Ricardo taught me what I needed to do and what Aveda products to use. When I went back on my second visit, my three tiered hair became four as I became more confident in his expertise to give me a long side swept, whispy bangs. And I love it even more! Ricardo is extremely precise. He takes the time to listen, make the cut perfect and end with high style with a WOW factor. Since my first time, I have received bountiful amounts of compliments- at work, personal friends, my clients. I have since referred them to Ricardo and only hear nothing but great reviews. I recently attended my personal friend's birthday and she had her hair done by Ricardo. She is extremely estatic about her hair and I am even jealous! I have another appointment with Ricardo in the morning and he is doing my boyfriend's hair for the 3rd time. It's getting harder and harder to book an appt!
Pros: Great Atmosphere, Modern Decor, Ricardo is there.
Cons: Getting harder to make an appt. with Ricardo
