I requested an appointment via yelp and received a call within an hour. I went the next day and was welcomed by several stylists. I arrived early and was offered a drink while I waited.
My stylist was Ani and she listened to my "must haves" in a haircut. I was donating a foot of hair and she was familiar with how to do it. I went from flat, mid back length hair to a level bob with layers. It was super easy to style and she explained the products she used.
I didn't get color, but I noticed two other women who had beautiful caramel blonde color done. Their colorists and stylists did an amazing job!
There were men in the salon as well. While they were done quicker than most women, the stylist across from my chair paid close attention to his needs and wants.
I never felt pressured to purchase the products, but I love Aveda so much I did purchase a few things.
If you love Aveda and want stylists that are trained, knowledgable, and friendly go to Gisoo!
