If you have long, thick and curly hair, you should think twice before going to Aveda. I didn`t. I got partial highlights for the first time and I was charged for full highlights. That`s one thing. Don`t think that if you go during the week you will pay less for a haircut. They charged me same thing. They used a lot of solution for my hair, but what was the point when they cut half of my hair. I specifically said I want not more than 3-5 inches & I even had a photo of the hair style I wanted. I miss my hair!

The Aveda Institute Chicago is an awesome place to go! It's professional, cheap, relaxing, and everyone is really nice. I had my first experience at the Aveda Institute Chicago a few months ago. I had a shampoo, cut, scalp/arm/hand massage, all over color, highlights, blow dry, and style for less than $100.00! It was an absolutely amazing experience. I went back for a body treatment last week and fell in love with the spa. It was so relaxing and the service was amazing! Check this place out! It rocks!

I'm not a big fan of this place. I have only been here once and had a bad experience and probably will never go back again. I specifically asked my stylist, more than a few times, to not cut my bangs short. But still, she cut them super short and then tried to justify it by telling me it looked nice. And she also changed my parting spot, which I was not too happy about. The actual salon was nice and my wait wasn't terribly wrong. But I like to have my stylist do what I ask.

I like Aveda--they give you cheap, stylish haircuts and use the quality Aveda products on you. Hair Cuttery has nothing over Aveda. Keep in mind that the staff are largely students and act like such--so you may get a slightly nervous stylist. Rest assured, teachers are around and will check up on the students (and you) to make sure everything is okay. The shampoos/conditioners are pricy but worth it; I have rarely been able to find products that worked as well in my hair (which is fine and wavy). Aveda also has a make-up line, however, I have not tried it.

I just went here for the first time a couple of days ago. I was amazed at the pricing here. You get salon style service with all the salon attention and salon products for such a cheap price! Its students who do the work, but you will barely realize it because they are so well trained and professional. The girl that cut my hair was really friendly too and she gave a ton of really good suggestions. The feel of this place was like an upscale salon and the pricing was not like that of an upscale salon. It didn't even take them that long to give me my haircut. I was in and out in 40 min and that included a hair wash and blow dry!

I wanted to get my hair cut here because, my regular hair salon is on the 2nd floor of a building with no elevators, and I was walking with a baby stroller. I'm always walking with a baby stroller. And a baby. So anyway, I stroll into Aveda, smile, and ask if I can make an appointment for later on that week. wait.. I did smile at a stylist, make eye contact.. but then I waited like 5 minutes before she approached me and allowed me to talk. Wasn't like she was busy either, just wanted me to wait. Anyway, she didn't have any openings and wouldn't look passed the current week's schedule. I felt as if she just didn't want to do my hair. I don't know, maybe it was the baby stroller, or the sweat dripping from my brow that turned her off. I won't be going back, and it's a shame because they do have great prices.

The services here range from hair cuts and colors to facials to massages. The hair cut, for example, includes consultation, shampoo, cut and style, for only $13! The students are friendly and want to make sure you happy with your service. Keep in mind that this is a school, so there will be hovering teachers and a few nervous/uncertain students. I've had a few "first-time" hair cuts by students, but none turned out bad. I also enjoy the waxing services; for as much as they can be, they are relatively peaceful and almost relaxing. Almost. The products are pretty good, but expensive and the students will try to lure you into buying every product they used on you. This is isn't such a bad thing, just annoying, especially when you only have 13 bucks for a hair cut! Favorite shampoo: Pure Abundance. Great for volumizing my fine hair.

This is a good place to go if you want salon service, but you don't want to have to play salon prices for it. The students at this school preform salon services here for a fraction of the cost. And they do a wonderful job here. Their work is really professional ane though they are students, they are in their last teir, so they are pretty much already professionals. Plus, everything they do is watched over by a supervisor, which makes it almost doubly good. Try this place out for some affordable salon service.

First of all, the location is wonderful; situated between Lincoln Park and Lakeview in the Century Mall. Second, how can you beat such a great deal on hair and spa services? I know that at first it seems kind of strange to go to a "student" hair stylist, but they are very knowledgeable and closely supervised. Check it out.
