  Had my hair cut by Red on Friday. It took about 2.5 hours and she did a great job! Took a lot of time to talk about my hair type and what I was looking for. She was very detailed and my hair looks great! Her teacher monitored her the whole time and made sure everything went well. Would definitely come again!

  My experience with Aveda is like how my hair turned out: an uneven mess. 1) I had booked with a specific stylist because I like the work that I saw on her Instagram but when I arrived at my appointment they told me that I was with someone else. 2) This is the result of my "balayage." What I was expecting was blended natural look with no harsh or obvious regrowth lines. They used foil all over when in my past experience with other stylist it has always been freehand. I also specifically asked for baby lights around the crown and instead I get chunky orange bits as seen in the photos. I should mention that this student was about to graduate... 3) My hair was cut by another stylist, Igor, and he did an excellent job. 4) I have a re-do so we will see how that goes. On an unrelated service note, Aveda tuition fees run above the 10k mark yet the facilities itself looks extremely run down. The power sockets were coming off the wall at the station where I was receiving my colour. The drywall was not sanded down properly in the hair washing area. It's just bad branding. If you ever been to one of their retail salon/store it smells like a spa and looks beautiful. Can't they at least give it a fresh coat of paint?

  I used to like this place a lot. But recently it’s been a nightmare! My last visit ended with my cut being butchered, my roots being coloured the wrong colour (way too dark), waiting 50 minutes to have it washed out ... with freezing water, and a wooden brush being dropped on my face. The brush then fell on the floor, and the girl then proceeded to brush my hair with it a few more times, then just called it quits and went on her phone! I waited about 40 minutes after leaving but was still in excruciating pain and had a bump on my nose from the brush, so I called in to share the experience. They said the manager would call me back (Anna?) to “help rectify the situation”, but no one cared enough to call back. Buy the products, but save you hair. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

  A friend recommended this place to me saying that they did great hair cuts, and knew how to work with very thick hair, which was very important for me. I initially wanted to go with the Educator level, but there was limited availability so I went with a student instead. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect, but I figured for $25 ($40 minus the $15 first time customer discount), it was worth a try. And I'm glad I did - the experience was awesome! Had my hair cut by Egor, who was super attentive to detail and you could tell really wanted to make sure I left happy with my hair. He did an amazing job - I absolutely love my haircut and will definitely be coming back! Great job Egor!

  I went in for a simple cut. The stylist did a great job. But I did not receive the 15% off for new customers. Even though through the entire process (booking-paying) I dealt with the same person, getting the new customer form as well from him. It kind of soured the whole thing. It'll be a while before I decide to try this place again. *After response, edited to 5 stars, great customer service!*
