When we finally got a teacher on the senior floor she played favorites and talked down to the ones she didn't like as if we were children. We are paying tuition. They should try harder to respect us as adults. If you're not comfortabke performing a service on a client they force you to do it or go home and lose your hours. That's unfair to the client and the student. Especially if their are students there that are capable and willing to perform the service. There is no one to talk to if you have a complaint. As a creative person I dont believe you should be stressed or forced to do something that can potentually hurt someone. And you should not have to leave or be toldyou are the problem.

This place is a hidden treasure. I've been here twice in the past 6 months. Services are…read moreperformed by students, but there's always an instructor nearby. The prices are way low: $20 for color, $5 for haircut, $15 for facial. They use Goldwell color & shampoo, so they obviously don't skimp on product quality. You do have to keep in mind that this is a school, these are students & all services are done in one big room. It is NOT a fancy, frilly spa by any means. I had to remove a couple stars after my last experience w/ this place. I walked in & asked for a root touch-up. I was assigned to a guy who happened to be very lazy & negative. He complained about everything to his fellow classmates & carried on inappropriate conversations with them as well. He did not say a word to me. I wanted to tell him that working with the public is definitely NOT for him.

Not to mention that the kit they made me pay 600 dollars for was all things from Amazon and only products for outdated services. You wont be taught how to do any kind of gel, acrylic, pedicure, manicure, paraffin, regular polish, etc. services. The only hands on things I was taught was silk wraps for a single day and how to make your own charms with silicone molds. And the singular day we "learned waxing" was taking turns doing a couple strips on eachothers arms and thats it. Don't pay close to 5000 dollars to get a half-assed education, when youre teaching yourself pretty much everything you need to do if you want to be a nail tech. Absolutely insane school please please dont waste your time, dont waste your money, dont waste your effort or your ambition and skills.

That being said I know these things and the longer time for service is just more "me" time. This was my first visit to this specific location and I went in for a root touch up. DANIELLAAG was friendly and did a great job. Asking for help if needed and taking guidance when given. I felt comfortable in her chair. Added bonus is the valet service they provide. Very friendly and had my car waiting as I walked out which was top notch service in my opinion. I had a tip already out but now wish I would have tipped them more. Will definitely return when back in the area. Can't beat the prices for salon quality service!!

Overall I understand the students here are still learning, but based on my experience they had no…read moreidea what they were doing. They repeatedly told me they had not been trained in most things yet. I got a color and cut here. The color was not good, I got a simple black but they didn't dye the bottom of my head so the top is black and the bottom is dark brown. I asked them to put dye there and they said they didn't need to, which was incorrect. They also got some color on my ear which I had to wash off myself. Example of them not being trained enough: The stylist initially tried cutting 4 inches off my hair when I asked for a 1/2 inch trim. She also kept teasing my hair and then trying to comb it out, then making comments about how tangly it is. But teasing hair is what makes it tangled! When she tried brushing it out my hair broke due to the force. I literally had to tell her to stop or else I would leave. She hadn't even started cutting, but a lot of my hair was on the ground from it being broken off by her brushing. On a side note...their receptionist was also very difficult to work with. She said my handwriting was too small and made me write down my info 3 times. I am not sure what the issue is but she had a lot of difficulties reading even when I wrote in large caps. I had to call another receptionist over. The second receptionist apologized telling me the other receptionist lost her glasses and that's why she had trouble reading it. That's fine! But had the original receptionist said that, instead of blaming me for it, we could've handled it better.

I've been visiting Aveda salon for about 10 years now and today was my final visit. Prices have…read moreincreased to the point that it is no longer a deal and the service is absolutely atrocious, both from supervisors and students. Today i went in for a color touch-up, something I had done about 6 times before. A dumpy, stocky, barrel of a woman in red lipstick started screaming me out for not know color codes. And not having a photograph of what was done in the past. What a nsaty attitude and a scream down in the middle of the salon. Reprimanding me about not knowing these are students and I SHOULD KNOW WHAT TO ASK FOR. Excuse me? I am paying $72 dollars for a service. Even if its student, I expect a bare minimum of service for my money. You are not doing clients a favor. Clients are doing you a favor to sit there for 5 hours so your students can make an absolute mess of their hair and then pay $72. Onto the students. The quality of students they have have zero competence. Again a bare minimum is expected when you charge $72. The students are so incompetent that they have no busienss even being students in any area. The school is doing a very poor job recruiting students. Most of the times you leave the insititute worse than you came in. The students dont give a rat's tail what they do. They are too much in a rush to sit and play with their iphones Lastly, they downright destroy your hair. During my blowdry she yanked so much of the hair out. I came out with a splitting headache. And after all this more of a surprise: A service that I expected to pay 50$ for came up to $62 plus 10$ tip. I could' ve gone to a professionals salon for this price. What a horrible experience. (you should've seen what they did to the client sitting next to me.)
