I usually hate Aveda salons. My experiences are always super weird and a little pretentious, all facade...
But I have to say, my technician today totally made up for it!! She was really great and very friendly. I went in for a bazillion wax and didn't feel a thing!! I'm definitely not new to this service and have had plenty of kind and knowledgeable experiences. She did express to me that her initial training (assuming through Aveda) did not include how to do a Brazilian, which seems silly to me, but that she has had enough experience experimenting on herself and I must say, her technique definitely lived up. I didn't feel a thing. She was careful and vocal with me about my particular situation. I am extremely satisfied with my time here and would recommend their waxing service if I could remember her name..?
Four stars because, come one, train your techs. Any Solon or spa I've been to usually offers tons of classes and seminars to train techs and also keep them up on the latest technology and practices. And one as wide spread as Aveda I definitely would expect a higher standard of educating its employees.
Anyway, I'm glad she was here today.
