  • Now maybe I was spoiled by the other Aveda Salon I went to when I lived in Washington, but I feel like charging $30 for a blow dry when you're already paying $65 for a hair color is RIDICULOUS! I made an appointment here to touch up my hair color because my roots were starting to show. I had the color "recipe" from my last stylist so I wasn't worried about trying to get the color to match. When I called in to make the appointment the lady I spoke to was very nice and friendly, I did think it was strange at the time that she kept checking to see if I wanted my hair blow dryed, I was used to it just being a standard service after your hair was washed. When I got to the salon the day of my appointment the receptionist was on the phone and didn't greet me. I stood there for a minute before she finally greeted me and asked if she could help me. I told her I had an appointment and who it was with so she said she would tell the stylist I was there. Then she proceeded to keep sitting there talking on the phone about how her son couldn't pull money out of his bank account but she could see that there was money in there!! I was not impressed. The stylist finally did come out (probably thinking I hadn't shown up since no one notified her that I was there) and she was very friendly and welcoming. I gave her my color combination and she seemed to understand it right away, even commenting on the shade which put me at ease that she knew what she was doing. There were just two things about her that kind of put me off. She talked a lot about travelling all over the world and going to different Aveda events and learning different techniques which is great, but it almost felt like she was trying too hard to impress me and then she commented at the end that she had done it all out of pocket and that Aveda didn't pay for it. It was almost like she was name dropping countries she'd been to. The other thing I didn't like was it seemed as though she was trying to shove products down my throat! She asked if I used any Aveda products and I told her I did use several. Now maybe that was my fault for admitting that I use the products, but the WHOLE rest of the time she kept telling me about probably 20+ different products that she recommended for me. I'm sorry but I really don't want to be discussing what kind of exfoliator I use while you're washing the dye out of my hair. Then the final straw was when she asked if I wanted my hair blow dried or not. I paused for a minute because I still thought it was strange for her to ask as I'm sitting there with my hair dripping because I just expected it to be a normal event. She then informed me that it was $30 for a blow dry. I told her that I didn't want to worry about it in that case so she offered to "kind of" brow dry it just so that it wasn't dripping when I left. Thanks. I love it when I leave a salon after getting my hair done and it's frizzy and fluffy because you just shook a blow dryer around my head. Normally when I get my hair done I leave feeling hot with a little more swagger in my step. When I left True Essence I immediately put my hair into a pony tail to try and hide the frizz she created and ran home to fix my hair. Not exactly an indication of a great hair experience.
