ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EXPERIENCE. Will not be coming back. It's cheap, so shame on me for thinking it might b kind of okay quality. I asked for a trim with layers and got no layers but at least an inch off. Ridiculous. The way they styled it- it looked horrendous. No refunds either. DO NOT COME UNLESS YOU REALLY ARE IN A PINCH MONEYWISE. It's cheap as hell and your haircut will be ugly as hell. Stylist made no effort to consult w me. I showed her pics and the result is nothing even close. I will never be coming back.
It's a school which I think explains the wide variation in experience, but I personally had a wonderful visit. Everyone was friendly and professional. The clay facial was divine.
I just moved here from Dallas,TX, where I regularly went to Aveda for hair services. The visit I experienced the other day at Aveda on Weyburn Avenue was pretty terrible. I arrived on time for my appointment, and as I waited for my stylist, I was approached 5 times and asked if I was someone else (apparently there was another client before me and they couldn't find her). They were walking in circles not sure what to do. Twenty minutes later they took me in. I told the student I needed a bang trim and how I wanted it. Her teacher came over and cut my bangs worse than they were before. I told her they were still uneven, she said, "well that's how your hair naturally falls".She had no clue what she was doing and she was teaching her student wrong. She cut them again and said, "well your hair is naturally heavier on one side, we can't fix that".
The floors were dirty, covered with hair, tin foil, hair dye. When I went to walk to the bathroom there was no space to squeeze between stylists and chairs to get there and no one seemed to care.
I drove 45 minutes to get to the appointment, paid for parking, spent way too long at the salon, and ended up with a terrible bang cut.
Definitely need more quality teachers here, more organization, cleanliness and professionalism.
Fun, upbeat school salon with most interesting students; I go in feeling out of trim with a sad sheen, coming out perky, glittering and wanting to show off my new do!!! Love Aveda school!!! Thank you Nikita!!!
Cheap but depends if you're willing to have a 1-2 hour haircut plus a half-decent massage or facial by a student. I got a trim and layers, and it looked nice (although it is hard to mess up layers). They also offer a discounted "happy hour" on facials on Friday.
the students are not taught to even be able to cut layers. I paid extra for a senior student and the only thing they could do was a straight line. there are much better schools around go to them instead.
