Not neurodivergent friendly. Staff and students are rude and gossip too much about others and even clients. They have mistreated my elderly mother with dementia as well when she asked about some uneven cuts to the back of her bob. We were told, if you don't like it you can come back for someone else to fix it. (Not just fix it now during her appointment.) I advocated for my cut and educator confirmed. I signed the paperwork. The student refused to do what the educator said and was short with me on multiple occasions though I had never met her. Despite me then asking nicely to respectfully please do as we agreed on with the educator, she refused. I asked to speak to the educator again if we can discuss this. It was the fifth time this had come up but she kept pushing it off and was upset she had to do it at the end and learn the technique. The haircut itself was exceptionally slow and took like 2.5H. What in the world?! Their quality has gone down terribly and they don't care whatsoever for their customers. read more

Aveda , is a great place to get your hair done at a good price . The products used are holistic and not damaging . I usually leave super happy with my hair color results . Today's service is done by Marz and the Master teacher is Dawn . I'm having low light and highlights done today . Processing takes a bit of time but that's to be expected . I can't wait to see the finished job . read more

They pick and choose who they want to be nice to and when there not nice watch the f..k out because your in for a nightmare.. rude to a fault and choose to help everyone before me until I begged them to finish .. they made me wait 2 hours for my haircut when I scheduled a few days in advance, I was late for my plans and it just ruined my supposed. Relaxing experience! Without customer they have to work on manikins! They should be paying us! Honestly felt so bad about myself after leaving ! I really wanted to like this place because what they offer but hot damm ! Nasty bitches!!!!!!! Hate to see them at there real jobs read more

I've never been so happy with a haircut. Donna Lorca is very caring and detail oriented. She took her time and resurrected my hair from the dead. No stylist I've ever gone to has been as careful, gentle, and thorough. Everyone had amazing costumer service skills. Great vibe + very affordable as a college student. I left feeling so confident and my hair looks 10x healthier. Shoutout to Donna! read more

I went to the Aveda Institute of South Florida on Saturday 01/17/26, not just for a service, but for a much-needed mental health retreat. After my mother's pancreatic cancer diagnosis in December and my husband's sudden heart attack and surgery just last week, I was emotionally exhausted. I want to spotlight Raymond, an educator who is the definition of professional, kind, and gentle. It is rare to see someone who loves what they do so deeply that it radiates through their teaching and their rapport with clients. He doesn't just instruct; he inspires. You can see his influence in students like Nelly, who took care of me with such grace and skill. They provided exactly the healing environment I needed. Thank you, Raymond and Nelly, for giving me a moment of peace during the hardest month of my life. read more

I scheduled an appointment at the Aveda Institute in Davie for 3:00 PM and even received a confirmation the day before. Upon arrival, I was told to have a seat and that someone would be with me shortly. After waiting 40 minutes, I noticed everyone who came in after me was being assisted, so I asked what was going on. A few minutes later, I was told that my stylist, Amber, was running late and that they wouldn't be able to complete all the services I had requested. What frustrated me most was that no one informed me ahead of time, especially since this is the second time this has happened. I ended up canceling my appointment altogether. The lack of communication and professionalism is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I won't be booking any further services with them. read more

Customer service at its best. The students are very well guided. The ambiance is accommodating.

I called and asked them if they cut mens hair and they said yes, they should have said no. So anyways, I decided to go thinking how bad could it be.. it was very bad. The young girl student had no idea how to cut hair. She didn't even know how to use clippers. She cut my hair like a sloth eating something. SLOW. I was there 1 hour and 30 min, literally. I'm usually 10 to 15 min at haid salons. It took every ounce of me not to walk out, but I didn't want to make her feel bad. The "educator" supervisor lady did the best she could to fix it up. I'm gonna end up having to get another hair cut in 1 week. No wonder I was the only guy there. They were friendly hence the 2 star. But I won't be returning. Well you live and learn. read more

I've been here a few times for haircuts and once for a massage. This is the Aveda Institute where they train students to become massage therapist, hair stylist, etc. The students are supervised throughout the hair cutting process. Every time I've been here I've had a good haircut. Please be aware that it will take longer than a full-service experienced salon. Yesterday it took an hour and a half to get a wash haircut and blow dry. The waiting area is set up like a regular Aveda Salon with all of their products displayed for sale. The reason for my three-star review not four stars is because I showed up on time for my appointment and they took me 30 minutes late. I think this is a reflection of poor scheduling by the managers not the students. They need to better manage this. I'm fine with waiting 10 or 15 minutes but 30 minutes borders on not valuing their customers time as well. read more

While I have been pleased with services and the overall experience here before, there are some real issues at this location: --BOOKING: multiple experiences where my long in advance prescheduled appointment has been canceled last minute, or been delayed by at least an hour. This becomes a huge issue when the client is told there is no more time to fix unsatisfactory salon services, and education management is COMPLETELY UNWILLING to make it right in any way. I was given a shrug and an "oh well" attitude, while being told to come earlier when the salon pushed my appointment back over an hour at the last minute. No offer for "client guarantee," and no willingness to take responsibility for salon services that were discussed, noted, and agreed upon. --LISTENING TO YOUR CLIENT: When clients take the time to come prepared with images, etc. of the look they want, deliver the look. In consultation with another stylist after the fact, it was confirmed that what I asked for and what I got were two very different things. It is very unprofessional and rude to any client--but particularly a multi-return one who has spent a lot of money and time at this location-- to not make it right. This is particularly concerning when that sentiment comes from management. I am in disbelief that a company with as positive a reputation as Aveda has had over the years, would treat a client so dismissively and with such a lack of care or concern for the client's time, money, and service satisfaction. read more

I had my appointment canceled and rescheduled. Then received a text that they are moving my appiontment an hour and a half later as I was pulling into their parking lot for my appointment. I drove over and hour and scheduled at tithe time I did because we have an event tonight. The receptionist was extremely rude and not willing to help at all. I have been coming here for a long time and over the last year this has continued to happen to both myself and my daughter. Quality is one thing but customer service is important as well. Especially when you have an event, this is unprofessional and very inconsiderate. I would give less than a star if that was possible. read more

I am visiting my family this week and had thought about making an appointment. Have always liked their products. When I read the reviews that had one star and the reason for the low ratings I was stunned that an Aveda representative did not respond to their complaints. Really bad form on Aveda's part if they are accurate. I decided to not make an appointment based on the lack of caring from the salon manager. read more

I used to go get my hair blown out weekly and even color services. However, I moved away in Jan 2023 for a year and had not gone to Aveda after I returned home. 2 weeks ago I was in Davie and I thought let me stop in to make an appt. The one thing that was always consistent @ Aveda was the customer service was exceptional. A friend that still gets her hair done there had mentioned that the customer service experience had downgraded and I absolutely agree. I found the 2 ppl at the reception were not only rude. Lacked knowledge in basic service requests. I did go ahead and schedule my appt and didn't even receive the customary thanks, see you next week-LOL! The conversation just ended. I was shocked at how rude both the man and the woman were that helped me. Subsequently, I called and cancelled my appt. First impressions are everything and i definitely won't be going back. read more

Taliyah is AMAZING! I didn't know cutting straight hair was hard. I figured it would be the easiest hair to cut. I learned something! One of the instructors came by frequently to made sure that she hadn't any problems or difficulties with my hair. My hair is also baby fine and thick complicating things even more and yet Taliyah handled it as if she had been doing my hair her whole life. I have a specific or signature cut that I like and whenever I stray from it I regret it. Taliyah was able to fix the mess left after a bad cut last year, re-create my style perfectly and at the length I wanted . This young lady is going places so you better see her before she graduates in February! As for the school; I do not live near this Aveda school anymore. In fact it's a 3 Hour drive however, I have always had a good experience here no matter who I saw. I hadn't been back since before Covid. I tried the Orlando school and, no, just no. This is location is always clean, well stocked, the workstations are well spaced and it just feels more professional and inviting. read more

We visited the Institute knowing we were going to have students do our services. Unfortunately some of the services were way below even "student" standards. Between three of us we had a manicure & pedicure, lash tinting, massage, and a facial. Facial and massage were great. Lash tinting was good except they did have a problem getting off extra residue. For a few days I looked like I slept in my makeup which is not a look I like. The manicure and pedicure were terrible. They do not use tools so do not expect a real pedicure. They barely scrubbed the feet, and skipped it entirely on one of us. Lackluster at best. They also do not start the pedicure soaking in water. When painting the nails they do not use a base or top coat. Our hands started chipping the same day. Honestly it seems like the nail education is minimum. I'm not sure why they offer the services at all. Would I return? Possibly for the massage & facial, wouldn't anything else. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM! FIND ANOTHER PLACE! I'm incredibly disappointed in how they manage their appointments and I DO NOT RECOMMEND them. I've been going here for one year and three times they've called me a few hours before my paid hair appointment to cancel my service! They continually use the excuse they're a school with students and they run late sometimes and I repeatedly tell them when they accept money for the services they offer they have a responsibility to see it through. In addition, its a hard sell each time I'm there to purchase their products. They don't keep track of the products they're selling you. Without paying customers they don't have anyone for their students to practice on. I now have a negative association with the Aveda brand and will find other hair products to use. Don't waste your time! The cost savings in services isn't worth the aggravation, frustration and lack of respect for their customers time. I'm done! read more

I heard great things from this location so my mom decided to try it . It's beauty school that provides beauty services at discounted prices. It's probably not a good idea ... unless you want to be sitting down for 4 hours getting a simple hair cut... even though we asked for a senior specialist we got a beginner and she had no idea what she was doing . At the end of it , it didn't even seem like my mom got a haircut and we ended up going somewhere else to get it fixed . read more

I've had three additional experiences here since my first, and I have to say they have been wonderful. My last experience was maybe my best. I had about three inches cut off my hair. The students are so knowledgeable - Gia really listened to my concerns: itchy scalp and a little hair thinning. She washed my hair with the rosemary and mint shampoo and provided hair thinning products from their line. She gave me a great scalp massage which is always appreciated. She then proceeded by giving me a great cut and fabulous voluminous blow out. Gia was really phenomenal. I plan to be back because the truth is you cannot beat $21 for a cut and style. I plan to try their facials and other services in the future. Their convenient parking is always great and the front desk is always kind and attentive. read more

Very disappointed. My teen and I have been loyal customers for years. All of a sudden, they just decided to increase the price of my service by more than twice, for a simple process. This is after canceling my appointment twice in the past month. I'll have to take my business elsewhere. Even a bang trim is $21 at Aveda and $9.99 at Supercuts. Please explain to me how a beauty school is charging these prices that are double what a salon with licensed cosmetologists charges. A blow dry a couple of months ago became a point of contention because the student wanted to use a curling iron on me, which they consider a special service. They proceeded to humiliate her in front of me by berating her loudly. I'm not sure who was more embarrassed at that point, me or her, but she apologized profusely, unlike the instructors. My highlights have been uneven the past few times and caused a lot of damage to my hair. Maybe I'll use them for a blowdry on occasion or a haircut, but the bulk of my money will no longer be spent here. Unreal. read more

They left a message canceling my service the day of and when I called to inquire since I was already on my way; the person I spoke with was extremely rude and condescending! read more

Had highlights done today by Ashley!! She was so talented! I love the results! She will definitely go places with her talent

They are so kind and take the time to walk you through the service. Rowan was an angel i did not have an inspiration picture however she executed the cut exactly how i imagined it!! read more

Has become horrible, you set an appointment and arrive from a far away drive , early and they cancel it arguing saying not enough time for the service you chose , then you jump through hoops to accommodate their schedule and they took almost 10 hours seemingly to make you feel bad about the scheduling mess and my hair still a mess/damaged . It's like the management wants to drive away customers on purpose . Unreliable to set appointments because they won't keep them repeatedly. Talk to management about it and they seem to care less . But yet they will sales call you trying to get you to come in . Completely broken system . They know it, and do not care . Not returning. They will take out their new broken system on the client- so beware . No stars if I could read more

I had a great experience my hairdresser Alan. He is very well pleasant well mannered and quite professional. He and is very conscientious and well focused.. I will ask for him the next time I make an appointment. read more

My review is based on mostly my recent visit but this place has been gradually going downhill for years. I actually had a friend who was an instructor here and left after like 2 months. I have heard from many students over the years that it is a horrible place so I avoided it. I recently had the urge to do my hair and didn't have hundreds of dollars to spare so I made an appointment when they had 20% off for services. And in case you did not know, these are all students providing services to practice. Over the years, I have had many services here and have purchased plenty of their products. I usually book for massages and hair. I never had a facial here because they do not do extractions. I stopped manicures and pedicures because the polish went to shit and there are only like 3 colors to choose from. I want to say the last time I visited was at least 4 years ago. Anyway, I tried booking for a massage, hair color, and haircut. They were not scheduling massages because the students were graduating?! I was only booked for color and cut. I usually have pictures to show exactly what I want and provided those. I was first set up with Angelique, who was super excited to do color. I explained how my hair does not take color and I need something that will stay permanently. She assured me this can be done and I provided pictures of examples. The instructor, Jade, was guiding and checking in periodically. Not that this is Angelique's fault but I listen to people talk all week, so sometimes I need a break and she talked a lot. Anyway, after sitting for a while with bleach and toner, I was led to the shampoo area. I was then informed someone else would be cutting my hair since "a regular customer of Angelique's was making a big deal about having her do her hair". Fine. I would not have bothered mentioning it but the experience just kept sucking. The student I had to cut my hair must have been fresh on the floor because she was struggling. When my hair was longer than I wanted, I spoke up and requested to have more cut but just a smidge. Yeah then she went too short and I couldn't put my hair in a ponytail. So in the midst of all this, Jade came by and was in shock that there was absolutely no color in my hair. I reminded her of my warnings and she had another student try again. Still no color attached to my hair. I think they were using toner and not dye (I am not too savvy but I don't think that is dye). Jade was very apologetic and when I was checking out, she booked me the following week so they could fix it since they were closing. I was there for 7 friggin hours. I'm not kidding. I received a call the day of or before my follow up appointment to cancel due to the student scheduled was out sick or something. I didn't bother calling back or pursuing it. I am officially breaking up with the Avesta Institute. The 2 stars are for Jade and because I get to use my Nova Shark card. read more

Appt was at 3:30. Didn't take me until 3:50 and then said they wouldnt have time to color my hair. Student seemed to not want to be there at all and moved no faster than a sloth, and talked so low I couldn't understand what she was saying and had to ask her to repeat herself the entire time. I took three hours vacation leave for this appt. Ended up just telling student to wash and blow my hair, which educator should have comped considering all things. Student gave me probsbly the worst hair wash ever. Put shampoo on but basically patted my hair. Never used her fingers to get into the hair. I didn't expect a scalp massage, but I feel like the shampoo never even made it to my scalp. And my hair at the nape of my neck was untouched by shampoo or water. Shampoo didn't make it that far. Student did a good job of blow drying, but I was so pissed with the entire experience that I didn't tip her. I woke up feeling bad not tipping, but she brought it on herself with her off-putting attitude. Even tho the service only cost $18 the customer service was about $2. I would have tipped had they comped my service because student ended up doing a good job on the blow & styling. Aveda even called me earlier that day to see if I could come in half hour earlier. I had a meeting and couldn't but then I get there on time and they don't even take me for over 20 minutes. read more

Thank you for my amazing experience as always. I went in and asked for a super short pixie cut with my purple dyed hair. My rep was amazing, all smiles and did tell me I was the first one she did from long hair to so short. She kept her cool the whole time and I am in love with it. The next day I already had many random, stranger comments about how beautiful my hair looked just out and about in stores. That goes to show, she nailed it perfectly for me. read more

This location is really great, but very hit or miss when related to who is doing your service. I had an AMAZING experience with esthetician students who have since graduated. I will say that the 4 stars is only because they do push product on you in the end and most of the time, the products are sold out! It's also pretty difficult to get an appointment for some services but understandable since they are students that do have other things to get to. Aside from that, I love to visit Aveda. read more

Booked a 90 minute facial with a all natural peel. Daniella (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) She was amazing! My face felt like a new born baby's face. She was so professional and the neck and arm message was amazing! When she said OK I will give you some privacy while you get ready, I was like NO it is over. She made me feel so relaxed I felt like I was only there 30 minutes. Highly recommend read more

I have been going to Aveda institute for over 10 years. In the beginning the school was run very well with educators checking on students as they worked on guests. Now there is almost no oversight. I have tried almost all the services offered and they were either basic or didn't work at all. One such service was brow coloring which didn't work at all. From NYC experience I know that using hair dye on brows does work. There were incidents concerning coloring of brows and the very unprofessional manager (Deborah) told me I was banned from the school. Every guest signs a waiver stating that the school is not responsible for anything that may go wrong so there is no liability on behalf of the school. Understanding and compassion are not Deborah strong points. She thrives on her (limited) power. JUST BE AWARE!!! read more

I guess I expected more . I had a facial and I felt greasy when I left and not a clean fresh feel. no extractions or steam on my face like I'm used to. no neck massage or face massage . My pores weren't closed or anything. I got an upgrade so I def thought I would be getting some extra service and I didn't see anything extra for the $15 I had to pay . def won't go again for this service unless I specifically make sure certain basic things in a facial will be provided . read more
