I attended Aveda Institute last year as a student. I currently am working at a SALON in Soho. I wanted to post my opinion about some of the nightmare hair posts. What people need to remember is that you are recieving services from STUDENTS!! UNLICENSED STUDENTS!!! Every student does their best to acchieve what you want, but we are learning. We work with our instructors and you to try to get the results you want. Sometimes...people are unsatisfied. There are also people who come in with unrealistic requests. Don't expect to pay $60 bucks for a half head of highlights and walk out looking like you just got your hair done at Fakkai!! When I was a student I only had maybe 2 clients who were unsatisfied after a service. If you have a serious hair problem or issue...dont be cheap. GO to a REAL professional and not a student! They always do their best for the guest. I would say 9 out of 10 times people are very pleased and return for haircut and color services at the Institute. If someone did leave unhappy they would try to fix the problem as soon as possible. I believe they have great service all around, and the spa and facials are heavenly. The only place you can recieve a relaxing facial for a great great price!!!
