"2014-01-27T00:00:00"^^ . "I was in desperate need of a haircut (read: I hadn't had one in a year), and decided to give Aveda a try based on a) it's reviews on Yelp and 2) the 25% discount offered by my employer. I made an appointment and was well accommodated by the person who took my information. He placed me with Patrick as he had a lot of experience with longer hair. I showed up for my appointment, and the young lady at reception was warm and welcoming. She took my coat and offered me water or green tea as I waited. My stylist showed up not 5 minutes later, with a warm welcome, and he took the time to listen to what I wanted. I showed him a photo of what I was interested in, and he took me into detail of what would work best for my usual routine (which usually isn't much; shower, air dry and brush through). He then took me upstairs to wash my hair (with amazing-smelling botanical products) and got a head and shoulder massage (*swoon*; I adore having my head massaged). I was given an impromptu tour and crash course on what Aveda is and the salon & academie. He engaged me in conversation and made me feel at ease throughout the entire experience and was so nice. I will definitely be going back thanks to his genuine and professional demeanor and the affordable pricing! I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a well-priced and professional haircut!"^^ . "4"^^ . . "7"^^ . "1"^^ . . . "0"^^ .
