THEY ARE STUDENTS!
by CSMobileUser
I love the place. everyone Is friendly and you can tell they love what they do. its an institute. if you expect perfection then go to a salon and pay out the butt for a cut. you sign a paper sayin you know they are students. you might not think cuttin or coloring Is rocket science but i'd like to see half of you who don't like them to try cuttin hair. i'm sure you didn't understand your job position the first few days. give them a break. you writing bad reviews doesn't make it any easier on the students. people like the ones who cry over hair cuts and say don't waste time on their cuts should NOT be let out of the house.
- Pros: Example: best croissants in town
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Never had a bad experience
by jensuch
I love going to Aveda! I've been sticking with the same girl for about 8 months now, and it's been great. Yes, they move slowly. Yes, sometimes there is blaring techno music. However, the overall experience is always great, especially the scalp massage. I went for partial highlights before my wedding, and the girl who did them went very conservative because I told her I wanted them to look natural. When they came out too plain, she scheduled another appointment and redid them for free. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the Be Curly shampoo and conditioner. Denver is too dry! This stuff doesn't work!
- Pros: Friendly staff, great value
- Cons: Slow working students

Pedicure disappointment
by writeon1
I went to the Aveda Institute for a quick, simple pedicure. Instead, I was stuck for 2 hours with a guy who admitted to me that he had never done a pedicure before. The whole thing was awful. It wasn't pampering. It was greasy, the area was dark so it was hard to see color, and the whole time, he spoke to a friend of his who was also performing what looked to be a great pedicure on another guest. The instructor/supervisor did come over to ask me how I felt about it but the guy was standing right there, so I didn't really feel free to say anything negative. They are all also instructed to try to sell you products you don't need, which adds another 10 minutes of haggling and hassle to the process. The pedicure itself didn't last a week. It was bubbly and chipped pretty immediately. I wouldn't go again, although I love Aveda and am flirting with the idea of trying a blowout to see if the hair people are any good!
- Pros: It's Aveda, so it smells good and I like the green philosophy. I also think it's important to give students a chance to practice on real people.
- Cons: The supervision isn't hands-on enough. And guests have to live with the mistakes!
