Best

Kristen have given me 3 facials and has shown tremendous improvement with each one. She was GREAT to start with, so it is impressive to see her growth.

Worst

My first time @ the salon. I knew students were going to chop of my hair but honestly didn't expect to be their second client. my cut was pretty good, just one thing... I never ha...

Color & Cut 11/16/2011

I have had my hair colored many times at other beauty schools and decided to stop in at The Institute. I LOVE vibrant reds and an edgy cut but not too over the top. Well, they nailed it!! It is the best red I have ever had and the cut is amazing. They wrote down the formula used so when I come back we know what to do. Thank you ladies!! I had a great night and experience. I will definitely be back! more

Always great 11/16/2011

Easy to make an appointment- can't beat the price and they always have a good email special. These students work hard, and the instructors check in multiple times to help them problem solve. Does take a little longer than a regular salon, but it's worth the money saved. Tip: always ask for a senior student. more

Amazing Experience 11/16/2011

I recently went to the institute for a men's haircut and it couldn't have gone better. I've been here before and it never ceases to amaze me how great of a cut I receive. Natasha did an absolutely amazing job and I will continue to go back again and again. The meticulous way that Natasha works on hair is something to be admired among others. Great experience once again! more

wedding party updo and makeup 11/16/2011

My wedding party and I had our hair and make up done on Saturday Nov. 12, 2011 for my wedding that day. The hair went just fine. The instructor mainly did my hair though. I guess she figured I had too much hair for the student to handle because that is what she kept saying over and over. The makeup part did not go so well. The girl that did mine (Olivia) was wonderful. She was very nice...however, my makeup was awful!!! She used colors on me that even though they sounded nice, looked awful. She took 45 minutes to do my make up where as my 4 bridesmaids were out in 20-25 mins. They never show you their progress, you have to wait till they are all done until you see your face. If I could have seen what she was doing I would have stopped her! more

Wonderful Service as Usual! 11/14/2011

I have not had a bad experience here. They are always friendly and helpful with questions and the instructors are always very nice. The students are knowledgeable about the products and what you ask for in a hair style. Will continue to keep using their services as long we are in Milwaukee! more

Girls day 11/13/2011

I took my 5 year old daughters with me to all get our hair done at the training salon today. I must say that I am more than happy with the results. Everyone was very welcoming and professional. They took their jobs very seriously even on my children's hair which I really respected. I cannot wait to go back and check out the other services they have!! more

Fantastic value & service! 11/9/2011

Where else can you get a scalp, head, and shoulder massage plus a haircut for $20? Top notch haircut along with Aveda shampoo and conditioner as well as a hot towel treatment to help the conditioner work its best. more

Bad haircut 11/9/2011

I asked for my bangs to be below the arch of my brow, at least 3 or so inches long. They are less than an inch from the hairline. more

Nice, but issues 11/8/2011

My appointment was at 5:15, but I didn't get started until nearly 6. I understand that my experience might take longer, but not because we didn't get started until 45 minutes later. With that said, the supervisor was very good with advice and the stylist did a nice job with the color. Thanks! more

Mixed Feelings 11/8/2011

I've gotten my hair cut at least 5 times now here and have generally been quite pleased with the outcome. My most recent haircut was not what I wanted however and left me pretty upset. My layers were cut extremely short even though I said I wanted just a trim, so now I'm just waiting for them to grow out again so I can get my hair cut the way I like it. more

Amery - hair cut 11/8/2011

i received a hair cut by amery the other day and i am very pleased. she was very careful to not do anything without making SURE it was what i wanted and without checking with her instructor - who was extremely knowledgable. i was extremely impressed and felt taken care of :) more

helpful 11/8/2011

Had a great time at IBW. Service was great. Zach did a amazing job dying my hair & keeping up on keeping me happy during the whole service. I will for sure go back! Worth every penny and more! more

Great time was had by all! 11/7/2011

I came with my daughter, and daughter-in-law, and we all had services performed. We felt like a million bucks afterwards, and people told us that we "glowed". I will personally take that as a 66 year old! Thanks IBW!! more

Fabulous! 11/7/2011

My mother, sister and I went for a spa day and had a fabulous time for a great price!!! more

service 11/7/2011

Wonderful service, fun students. Only trouble was that I was passed off because of a guest who was showed up late, and I got 2 students working with me and I felt as though there wasn't a continuity in the care. The late guest should have been cancelled so I wasn't forced to run so late because of her. more

Nice work, as always 11/6/2011

Would only suggest that the front desk staff warn patrons of any delay. Waiting isn't a problem--it happens--but the consideration will remind patrons that you believe their time and business is valuable. more

finger waves 11/6/2011

I came to the salon to get finger waves done for my birthday. The student who did my hair, and the instructor were very knowledgeable. It was a great experience and it came out looking beautiful. I will definitely be going back.. as soon as I can invent a reason why I need to get my hair done. more

Facial and Wax 11/6/2011

I had an amazing experience at the Aveda Institute yesterday. The student performing my facial and eyebrow wax was excellent. Her instructor kept checking in with us which was also great. Also, can't beat the cost. Highly recommend. more

Color & Foil 11/5/2011

Desire is wonderful, I love AVEDA. However, I had to wait 4 hours & also 3 (lovely) girls worked on me. Time can be shorter. And, I buy a lot of your products. Your stylist can check my chart and see, what I bought, when; then recommend other things, not the same ones everytime. I already have them... Thanks more

Great Value, great results!! 11/5/2011

I have been going to the Institute of Beauty and Wellness for the last 4 years. I go for a color retouch every three weeks and can honestly say I love the experience. You are greeted with a choice of beverage and a warm moist towel to cleanse your hands. Each appointment is supervised by a teacher and each student that I've had has been a delight! You are also offered a hand massage while hair is processing, can't say any other salon I've gone to offers that. I would highly recommend going as it's an excellent value and it's fun to see all the activity that surrounds the school. Always have been more than pleased with the results!!!! more
