| - One of my biggest pet peeves about moving to a new city is having to find new personal service providers, and I especially dislike finding a new hair stylist. I'm a big fan of Aveda products, so I usually stick to Aveda salons and, for the most part, have found success in the strategy.
True pretty much fit the mold of other Aveda salons I've been to- a modern, warm, earthy feeling to the interior and the signature scents of Aveda products. My stylist, Norma, was super sweet and friendly, but was pretty fresh out of cosmetology school which made me a tad nervous.
My cut and color requirements are pretty basic and Norma did a fine job, though my hair was significantly drier after receiving partial highlights than it had ever been before. Nothing was mentioned about the dryness, no offer of a hydrating treatment or anything, so I'm assuming it went unnoticed.
The one thing that seriously irked me about this place is that they require a credit card to hold the appointment. When I made my appointment, the receptionist flatly explained that the full amount of my cut and color would be charged in the event of a no-show. I've never had to provide a credit card to hold a hair appointment before and it was pretty annoying to be treated like someone who would flake before I even had a chance to prove myself as a customer (and I have NEVER flaked on a hair appointment, EVER).
