I was going to my previous stylist for roughly 7 years. I liked her but didn't love her. Honeslty, I have never LOVED my hair. In addition, she charged a pretty penny. Roughly $170 for a color and cut. I was so not pleased. Then, once i moved to downtown I was sick of traveling to cherry creek for my hair and plus i was on a budget. I went to Aveda and found Anita! She is great! She is so enthusiastic about my hair and a real blast to have doing my hair. After my last visit, i wasnt totally satisfied and wanted bangs. I came back in and she welcomed me and did my bangs for free and in a breeze. It was great. I love the way my color comes out -- a really hott, vibrant dark brown. And the type is always great. Long story short -- Aveda is great. In addition, i love the music and atmosphere. Its fun, hip, and chic xxoo

Pros: Great price! Great people! Atmosphere

Cons: Smelling like plants??

Since about last summer I've been having Holly cut my hair. She's attentive and asks questions. I like that she's completely focused on me and my hair. My pet peeve at a salon is when the stylists talk to each other, a la rude checker style, while ignoring the client. For several years now, I've been searching for a great stylist. Holly fits the bill. I think she really loves what she's doing too. She's extremely skilled which is demonstrated by her amazing ability to anticipate what my hair is going to do if she tweaks the cut. one way or another. Because my hair is naturally curly, I've had a diffficult time finding someone who knows there will be serious issues if shrinkage is not considered. Truth is, I've been holding my breath since finding her, and now I'm finally realzing she's the one and it's been no accident. It's such an important relationship, and I don't mean friendship. She's performing a service for me, I don't want to make friends with my stylist like some women may. It's a business relationship. I wish the salon owners would moderate the music that blasts. I can barely tollerate the throbing techno or screatching acidic sounds that's usually played. It really ruins the Zen experience for me. I love music, but it's like being at the Funky Buhda. My guess is there is a very limited percentage of people that enjoy the music.

Pros: Some extremely skilled stylists, mine is Holly, class act, serious pro

Cons: Music is disconcerting, upon entering reception team are in gossip mode & generally unprofessional

i went in to the aveda academy after seeing their "best cheap haircut" award in the westword. i got a great haircut in an upbeat environment, and even better, i got a scalp massage as part of the deal. i thouroughly enjoyed my visit, and i'd recommend it to anyone.

Pros: price, expertise

Found this spa through Citysearch and was not disappointed. The massage therapist's pressure was spot-on and the manicure was expertly done. Comfortable, up-beat environment.

Pros: Downtown

Cons: Expensive parking
