| - When you walk in, you are transformed into a relaxing environment. Staff at the reception desk are kind, warm, and willing to take the time to make sure that you have everything you need. In the waiting area, they have water and tea to enjoy; however, you won't be spending much time there since the stylists are quite prompt and on time.
I had Danielle as my stylist. Danielle is great!!! A recent graduate of the training school that the salon is affiliated with, Danielle gave me the best haircut in my life! She has a plethora of talent and potential.
It began with a wonderful consultation where she really got what look I was trying to go for. Next, she took me upstairs to wash my hair. This Aveda salon has the most unique washing stations I have ever seen. You lie down on your back (on a massage table essentially) and rest your head over the sink. A pillow is placed under your legs and cucumbers over your eyes. A scalp, shoulder, and neck massage is given before they begin the hair washing. It leaves me befuddled why more salons don't have this type of system.
After the washing, we return to the station and engage in a delightful conversation. As an anglophone, it was great to have a conversation that just flowed without any language barrier. I walked out the door delighted as ever!
Overall, I highly recommend the Montreal Aveda Salon to anyone trying to decide which salon to go to. It may be a little in the high range, but it is surely worth it! Plus, when you go for the first time, they do give you a $25 gift card valid towards future appointments...
