i've been here a couple of times and i think it's a really cool place.
the only problem i have is if you really like a hairdresser.. the chances of them being there the next time you come in are rare... but if you REALLY like someone.. then it's a good idea to get their information.
the hairdressers i've had are super friendly..
never forget to offer a drink..
very thorough with their consults..
and very thorough with the cut and styling.
if your gonna go to aveda, make sure you clear your schedule because you'll be there for awhile! it's a good time to consider this some good "chill" time.. if your getting color & a cut, which they generally schedule in the mornings, then get there early! they'll cut you short of a haircut if the dying takes to long or vice versa!
they offer a lot of other services besides hair.. like eyelash ext., waxing, nails.. etc.. if your getting color, they also give your a free scalp and shoulder massage which is definitely a plus..
it's good to call ahead and make an appointment.
