I just moved from South Pasadena, CA and wanted to advance my career and just so happen to be paying cash because my Dad agreed to pay for my schooling. I called to inquire about the Aveda program and a lady in charge(can't remember her name but I believe it was Gale or Debra?) of admission seemed very sweet so I was excited. I had an appointment scheduled and was assured that I'd be reminded. Unfortunately I got no reminder call and everything hit me all at once that day and ended up missing my appointment by mistake. When I finally remembered and called the next day, she was very curt, rude, and unhappy to talk to me. I was devastated as Aveda was my top tier choice in what school I was picking. When I asked to speak with John the owner, I got the run around and could not get to him directly. I finally gave up and am looking for another school. Super disappointed with Aveda.
