I thought I would have my eyes covered with a slice of cucumber at the very least, but that didn't happen. Nevertheless, it was quite relaxing. I left feeling greasy after the oil blend, so would probably try another service next time. Keep in mind that they are students performing the services which means they can't receive tips by credit card. I made that mistake and didn't bring cash. Will know better by next time!

It's been several months since my last haircut, and I really needed it to be trimmed, layered, and…read morethinned for the new season. I was promptly checked in for my 3:30 PM appointment. My hair stylist Sophia was very attentive to my request and careful in washing, cutting, and styling. The instructor checked constantly and made a few small changes to my layers. I recommended thinning since my hair quickly grows thick, and Sophia immediately fixed the cut. For the quality, price, and attention to detail, the haircut was amazing. The only downside is the long appointment time (I finished near 5:30), but it was understandable since the students needed to check their plan and each step with the instructor. I would 100% come back and recommend customers here.

Warning: I would be very cautious booking color services at the Aveda Institute…read more I arrived early for my 1 PM appointment and was initially told I wasn't even on the schedule, which immediately set a stressful tone. Once I was eventually taken in. It took over 40 minutes after the consultation for the student to begin working on my hair because they were still writing notes and preparing their sheet. The service itself felt inconsistent and poorly managed. I understand this is a training environment, but there seemed to be a lack of structure and time management throughout. My color turned out chunky and stripy, and it was very obvious that at least two different people worked on my hair because my original stylist needed assistance mid way through the coloring. One side came out significantly more orange than the other, and it honestly looked like I had months of grown-out color. After my hair was washed, I was told they "didn't have time" to finish with a blowout. Instead, I was given a card for a complimentary blow dry for another visit, which I was fine with and they said we'd do a rough dry. Since it was 6, which was closing time the instructor stepped in to "rough dry" my hair. There was no product and they did a few passes. I left with my hair about 90% wet. I was shocked that they allowed me to leave the appointment in that condition. Not until I went home and fully dried my hair was when I noticed that my hair cut was uneven. My original 1 PM appointment didn't end until around 6:15 PM. I later emailed them about the experience and, after escalating it with multiple people, they brought me back 2 days later for a correction appointment, which took about 3 hours. I'm still not fully happy with the result, but it will have to do for now while my hair recovers from being processed twice within 48 hours. Overall, I would strongly advise having very low expectations. I would not recommend getting your hair colored here. A simple trim might be okay, but even that feels like a gamble depending on who you get.

I will be filling a Police Report and if they are listed with the BBB I am following up with them. As soon as the person cutting my hair saw a $50 bill he immediately said the hair cut was $50. Believing that I misunderstood him I asked for change for the $50 . He opened his wallet put the $50 in his wallet aggressively informed me that the haircut was $50 then laughing he said in Spanish "stupid f****** White man" which the other 5 employees all joined in on the joke. (Yes I speak and understand Spanish) This is unacceptable and not how people in Burien conducted business just a few years ago. DO NOT do business with these RACIST Extortion Artists.

I know it is a school but they fail on both service and teaching. Before I moved to western…read moreWashington I managed a salon so I know a little about the industry. First I called and the phone was answered with "Hello" only. After I went there the instructor put me with the onky person there and then the instructor asked me what I wanted so I showed them a picture of one of my past hair cuts. The instructor left and the student student started cutting. As she was cutting I noticed she was cutting it too long so I told her and at this point I realized she did nit speak English. I looked around so I could have the instructor tell her and she was no where to be found. So then I showed her a picture that was on the wall that was close to what I wanted, the student then said "Oh ok", and continued to cut it wrong. Still no instructor. When she was finally done I walked to the desk to pay and the student walked in the back and and a couole minutes later the instructor walked out and took my money. She did not look at my hair or ask if it was what I wanted. Epic fail on both service and instruction.

It looks like the owner wrote a review in response to our reviews…read more She is saying we are trying to defame her which is not true. Us telling our stories about how we were treated at the school is not defamation if it's true. All I'm going to say is please check for yourself if there's an esthetics instructor before giving this school your money. The front desk said over the phone that Sherry Duan is going to be the instructor for the new esthetics program. If someone is a licensed Esthetics instructor you can find that out by looking up their esthetics license. If they are licensed as an instructor then it will say instructor under the "endorsement" section on their profile in the department of licensing. I'll add a photo of Sherrys license for reference. Notice how there's nothing under the endorsement section at the bottom. I am not telling anyone to not attend this school, I am not defaming Sherry or the school. Also did anyone else notice that she used chat gpt to write her letter? I put her review into an ai detector and it's 100% ai. She can't even write her own reviews
