I was studying for my exam the next day, and they fed me lots of coffee, tea and water. They were so accommodating and pleasant!\n\nI asked for cool blonde streaks in my hair because I was trying to get my bright pink hair back to my natural blonde. The first girl that helped me out was a sweetheart! She did a great treatment, kept checking on me to see if my colour was done and my coffee cup full. When the bleach was washed out, she applied a purple toner...\nOh no! my hair was nearly completely purple! \n\nI felt really bad but I couldn't hide my disappointment. My blonde dreams were crashing around me! I was promised that they'd fix it, but if they did so right now, they couldn't put in as many foils as I hoped because it was getting really busy. They told me if I came back in a couple of hours someone else would help me get exactly what I wanted, and I'd only have to pay once!\n\nSo I headed off the the Mystic Muffin (one of my favourite spots in the city) and studied over a yummy lunch. When I came back to Aveda I was immediately greeted by the new stylist who sat me down and ran her professional hands through my hair, applying probably a million foils. When she washed it out, she put in a nice hydrating treatment, gave me a head AND hand massage. I tried not to drool all over the nice towel she wrapped around my neck, but it was hard to contain myself. \n\nWhen she was finished, I had a full head of fragrant shiny silver-blonde and violet hair. I was grinning ear to ear and delightfully caffeinated. My stylist gave me a big hug and told me since it was a re-do I didn't have to pay. ARE YOU KIDDING?! That's amazing. They have made me a customer for life."^^ . "1"^^ . . .
