| - I went in to check out the school yesterday; Gayle was very descriptive and helpful. After my meeting with her, I cannot wait to be part of e skin care program. She even gave me a little lotion to take home with me :). Anyhow, My hair needed a little shape up so I figured I'd get a haircut. Before yesterday, I'd never had a student cut my hair. Truth be told I was a little nervous! However, $17 for a haircut by a student who is supervised by their instructor sounded like a great deal to me, but it included even more than that! First off, the salon inside is very pretty, and because they use high quality natually sourced products the aroma is nothing short of heavenly. My student stylist was Dean, who seemed to be a really cool guy. He was an adorable kid with a friendly, down to earth personality. I feel these assets in addition to the skills he's learning, will definitely suit him in the beauty industry. He took me on the sensory journey ( where you choose a natural fragrance to provide the aromatherapy during your service. I went with the tangerine. This was followed by a shoulder and scalp massage which was out of this world. I have been massaged at every resort I've visited and this massage, although a simple chair, massage was definitely comparable. I was very happy with my haircut. The instructors did help him do the cut, but that was fine with me as he is learning. It did take long, but that makes sense given that my haircut was a learning exercise for my student stylist. I have to say that people were friendly and seemed pleasant at Aveda. Not that forced and fake type of pleasant though, and I was glad because I can't stand that, lol! The institute simply had good energy! My only disappointment was when I got up from the chair two of the students sitting behind me started laughing , soon thereafter the instructor followed me out and grabbed the towel the was stuck to my back. I guess that's funny...I don't know? Overall, I'd return for a service because I know Aveda is the best school in Vegas, and I actually really enjoy being part of someone's learning process even if I'm doing so passively by being a client. I really hope I can attend this school one day soon. If you're debating whether or not to get a service at the school, I'd say try it out. The instructor are there to guide, you help yourself by saving money, get a great service, and help a student get practice.
