| - This is hands-down the best salon that I've ever been to. Great staff, great products, and an outstanding haircut every time. My favorite stylist is Nikki, but I've seriously always had a good experience with all of the stylists there. They're patient, they pay attention to what you want but are happy to offer suggestions, and they deliver great customer service. I love the hand massage and hot towel on my hair during the shampoo. Depending on the stylist, I've also gotten the occasional make-up touch-up there for free.
Every time that I start to balk at the price ($50 starting for a woman's hair cut) and try somewhere else that's a bit cheaper, I'm inevitably disappointed. (I'm a picky customer who's also wishy-washy about direction - apparently, that doesn't work well for a lot of stylists.) The pain in my wallet is eased somewhat by subscribing to their email newsletter and taking advantage of their 20% off deals for last-minute appointments that they post weekly. They also offer free bang trims if you're a previous customer, which cuts down on how often I need to schedule the full haircut.
I will mention that although I love their stylists and their products, I've not had great success with their haircolor services. The fiery red colors that I'm partial to have just stripped right out of my hair within about 10 days when I've had the Aveda color. I've tried a few times, so I know it's not the application method, just the product. However, that could just be a quirk of my particular hair type (fine, shiny hair with resistance to coloring).
