I've tried lots of salons ever since Groupon, Living Social etc. came into existence. However, this is the only salon where I have remained loyal and returned for numerous haircuts. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I've almost always had a good experience and enjoy the Aveda products. I've had my hair cut by a few of the stylists and I've never left with a bad haircut. There are times I feel like they don't layer my hair as much as I want, but that is likely due to the way I describe what I want. The best part is when they wash your hair - you get an arm massage and a little facial. Just adds to the experience! I've also had my make up done there and she did a great job. She listened to me when I told her what was too much or what colors I liked, which hasn't been my experience with other make up artists. They have appointments in the evenings and weekends which works great for my schedule. You can even schedule online! The prices are reasonable too for an Aveda salon.
