I've never felt so pampered for so little money!
As soon as my student came over, she offered me tea/coffee/water before she got started. Once I sat down, she asked me what I wanted done and then ran everything by her instructor. First she began with a shoulder/neck massage with eucalyptus oil which was very relaxing. Then she washed my hair and put in a dry remedy moisturizing masque conditioner. While she let the conditioner sit, she gave me a mini facial and and a hand massage. As for the haircut, she did a great job and did exactly what I wanted. The instructor came over at the end to check her work, and she was very thorough.
I've been going to Aveda Institutes for many years now both in Milwaukee and Chicago, but the students here definitely seem to go above and beyond what I've experienced at other locations. The prices here are pretty similar, with a haircut costing $17. But, if you check in on yelp you get 20% off! And there's no tipping allowed, so it's a pretty cheap haircut. I'm a big fan of Aveda products, so it's always a plus when I can get get the Aveda spa pampering without the high price! This is a perfect place for a student like me on a budget!
