I visited the "Aveda Montreal Lifestyle Salon Spa & Academy" today and I was very pleased with the service. I find it very difficult to find a hair salon and let a stranger play with my hair, I often give them " carte blanche" because I can poorly imagine what would look good on my own face. Every so often we get disapointed with the result anyway, but thankfully our hair grows back !
Fortunately enough, Aveda delievered! I received a haircut by Angela for the cost of 45$. Starting off with a peppermint oil massage on a "bed" then shampoo. I have to say, Aveda's product always smell so delightful, it's most likely their most fantastic feature and my favorite part of the appointment.
I came in to reshape a short cut/bob haircut and change my bangs. The cut itself took roughly 45mins including drying. I'm overall very satisfied with the result. The salon was very busy but very clean.
The only negative thing that I would have to say about my visit is that as a customer, I expect the stylist/hairdresser to give ideas, brainstorm with me and let me know what would look best on me and I received none of that today. Also, the promo code which was available on Yelp app (15$ off) was not accepted as it only applies to Insitutes and not academies,
Would go back again.
