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...

Another great experience! 12/14/2011

Bridget gave me a fantastic and thorough deep-tissue massage. It really loosened me up and relaxed the stress I've had lately. Both her and her instructor took care of injury problems on my leg with extra time. They gave helpful advice for me to follow until my next appointment. Professionals as usual! :) more

The PROS & the NONS 12/14/2011

PROs: 1-Overall, still EXCELLENT after the 10-12+ yrs I've gone there. 2-FRIENDLY, KIND STAFF & STUDENTS, generally more than willing to listen & to please. 3-GOOD ADVICE 4-ALWAYS CURRENT 5-APPT REMINDER EMAILS & CALLS 6-APPT AVAILABILITY for me ~75+% of the time, often with short notice,(<7-10days) due to my varied work weeks. 7-CONVENIENT LOCATION 8-ACCURATE ESTIMATES of SERVICE TIME in virtually all cases. 9-GREAT PRODUCTS yet NO PRESSURE TO BUY 10-WELL DESIGNED & COMFORTABLE NONs/NEGATIVES OVERALL, NEGLIGIBLE: 1-I wanted a few more highlights 1x (when I felt a need to be blondish), but it was corrected soon after at no charge. 2-One girl may have thought very short hair like hers would look better than the shoulder length trim I wanted & plainly requested up front. Engrossed in my reading as usual, it was too late when I learned I'd now had an embarrassing mullet grazing the bottoms of my ears! I made her stop cutting, left promptly, cried for hours upon leaving (& for days after, a 1st because of hair), & immediately bought a couple of similarly colored falls at two Sallie Beauty shops before they closed for the night. more

My Spa Day 12/11/2011

After a hard year's work, I treated myself to a customized "spa day", and loved every minute of it! Worked with esticians, cosmetolgists, and massage therapists, and everyone was very friendly and accomodating. Every session was prompt as well. Thank you so much for taking care of me that day, like I take care of my customers year round. It was nice to be on the other side and receive for a change! more

Massage and Pedicure 12/10/2011

Awesome Haircut!! so happy! 12/9/2011

My haircut is beautiful! Aubrey (Ithink that is her name) did an amazing job and explained how I could manage it once I got home,which I have. I am always so very pleased with the various services I receive at Aveda. more

Kelli does it again 12/8/2011

Again, Kelli has made my hair beautiful. The cut is exact and the color, well, the color is perfect. I feel very fortunate that someone made that original appointment. more

What a treat 12/8/2011

The entire experience was great! I have already recommended it to others and will definitely go back. Nice way to help the students learn and get super spa service that's affordable. more

Great Service 12/7/2011

I had a new student/stylist, Naomi. She was wonderful and I hope to see her again next month. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all! more

Excellent, as always 12/7/2011

It was another great appointment at the school. The student was wonderful and my hair turned out great. My only complaint would be that the student was graduating that week so I will be with a new student again next appointment. more

Another great experience! 12/7/2011

I have been going to Aveda in Milwaukee since moving here from the East Coast. I have never had a negative experience and truly appreciate the kindness that everyone offers me. more

got my faux hawk 12/7/2011

Two days ago I went in because I needed my haircut and heard about avaveda. I really enjoyed everything about the experience. Heather was really nice and focused on what she was doing but also very conscious about how I was feeling. Then it was styled and out the door I went. The only negative thing I would say is maybe they should ask about piercings before moving my ear around but it wasn't that big of a deal more

Ladies day out!!! 12/6/2011

Three friends and I went on Spa day and had such a wonderful time. I enjoyed the moderate massage and the arm stretch that gave it a twist to the comfort. My friend also said the same but the other two had a deep ruff massage that they stated was the BEST of the BEST. It was a very good day for us and we will do it again. more

facial 12/5/2011

had a 60 min. facial with Heather LeCloux, it was amazing! She had a nice, light touch, I enjoyed it very much, hope to get back there with friends. more

Deserie review 12/3/2011

Deserie was great. She guided me toward healthier hair. At first, there was a mixup as to what a touch up means but that led to a new regimen to help my hair look great more

So Accommodating!!! 12/2/2011

Every time I have gone to the Aveda Institute the students and faculty have been so accommodating! A new skin allergy makes finding products that I can use a bit tough. They are so helpful and have always managed to find products they can use for any service I request. Not only that, the students have always done a great job. Thank you for another great experience this week!!! more

Great Facial 12/2/2011

The facial was so relaxing! Going back for the 60 minute one next time more

Manicure and pedicure 12/2/2011

Ann did a wonderful job. She prepped, trimmed and shaped my nails perfectly. Also applied the polishes perfectly. And Ann is most personable. The one word to sum up my experience is PERFECT! more

$16 for eyebrow and lip wax- best deal in town 11/30/2011

I have been hitting the downtown Institute for about a year now to get this service done. I have gotten a different student each time, with varying degrees of experience and skill level. But I always leave satisfied. WHY? Because I am a teacher by trade and speak up for what I want, issues that need to be addressed while I am there, etc. So the shape isn't always perfect right away- then the instructor comes over and I explain it and boom, she is teaching the student and the shape turns out great. If I get extra red, I suggest a lavender and tea tree compress, and they go grab one right away and then I go home with normal looking just-waxed skin. I feel pampered while I am there and they always offer a little makeup afterwards (lip-color only, but who cares?) I am on a tight budget w/ 4 kids, one who is college-bound, so this,as mentioned in the title, is the best deal in town. Thank you Aveda :) more
