The Aveda Store has a great location in SouthPark Mall its near one of its centers (where those people can drop after they shopped in comfy couches), near a chocolate store and around the corner from the food court. Once inside it's always open glass doors, you feel a little serene...until the staff gets their eyes on you then it becomes a sell you something moment. Yes, I want the tea but I can I just leisurely go through the store and check things out.
My rant: I am not sure if the hair products are the best fit for my hair...nothing against the products and I am by no means a hairdresser- --I try to leave it to the professionals BUT I would like some lotion and the opportunity to browse.
OK, I'm back--Basically I love the store, it's concept and most importantly the hand lotion- I suggest you run to the next Aveda to try it out. Pricey but worth it. I would also sign up for their customer reward card, I do believe they give a birthday gift but never recieved anything else (I guess my points arent adding up to much). No samples but the tea is refreshing.
