This review goes out to Ea Town I have been going to the Whole Aveda Salon/Spa in Largo for a couple years and now with the new owners it's even better, beautiful salon/spa, always a cheerful and friendly staff, but nothing compares to the excellent () service I've always received from my stylist and friend Ea Town. She's always patient and on point with what I want and need, never letting me make drastic decisions I would (in deed) regret later. Ea: "Are you certain you want to chop it all off?" Me: "Yes! Sure... Ummm?!?!" Ea: "Ok, we'll just trim down a few inches and reassess." Me: "Awesome!" I never really cut any more off, missed those inches as soon as I saw them on the floor. Ha! She knew! If you are looking for a dependable, colorful, honest, funny stylist/hairdresser/color specialist, make your next appointment with Ea Town. You certainly won't regret it!!! PS- My name is Nikki, I have long blond hair that keeps getting darker as I get older and she knows just how to highlight my hair so that it looks as natural as possible. Wouldn't trade her for the world read more

I've been getting my hair done by Sydney for 7 years! From the moment she returned to Florida from her Aveda Institute training she has done it all for me.... trims, layers, angled bobs, highlights, low lights, an all over red, all over violet, even color correction when I thought I could do it without her (I couldn't lol). Anything I've ever wanted to try I would just send her pictures and she's communicated with me what was possible or not given my hairs texture, health, length, current color, etc. which is crucial for a good stylist in my opinion. I even went back to her when I moved 5 hours away and have now followed her when she moved to Tampa. She doesn't get scissor happy like a lot of stylist I've heard/seen and despite consistent coloring and heat styling my hair remains very healthy. We've now achieved the ultimate stylist-client relationship as I can just tell her to do what she thinks is best and I'm not a bit worried about the outcome! Lots of love for this girl, I'll be back soon! read more

I've gone to Whole Aveda three times and had different stylists* each time - Dwayne, Emily and Gozde - and each time I've left feeling totally delighted with the services I've received. My hair always looks brilliant whenever I leave and I get so many compliments on it. The stylists take the time to talk with me to figure out exactly what I want, which I really appreciate. Plus they're all just very personable people who are clearly passionate about doing hair and who love their jobs. I cannot say enough good things about them! I also love that they provide you with an aromatherapy service while your hair is processing/deep conditioning. I always feel so incredibly relaxed whenever I leave. And of course, Aveda products are wonderful. If you're in this area and you need a place to get your hair and beauty treatments, you definitely need to check out Whole Aveda. *This is not their fault; it's because I'm the kind of client who makes appointments at the last minute. Bad client. read more

There are a few times in life when quality is utmost important to you. One of these times is when you have to trust your Beautician with your hair! The best feeling in the world is going to your "gal" and never having to ever wonder it's going to turn out! This is how I feel when I see my "gal"! I have very long curly hair that I highlight and now have to cover my gray roots too! Crystal Elliott has to deal with my curl, the dryness of my hair because of my curl, my gray roots plus my highlights! She's such a perfectionist and so right on that its just always so perfect and gorgeous when she does her magic on me! Going to have my hair done is a total delight and so relaxing because I always know I'm going to absolutely love it when I walk out the door! I won't even talk about the scalp massage she gives! Tks Crystal! You are incredibly talented! read more

Crystal has been styling my hair for years and I always leave the salon feeling fabulous!! I've had several different services from her including color, highlights and haircuts and I must say she is truly and expert at her craft!! I receive compliments about my hair almost daily from people of all ages. I have a stacked bob and so many people say "I've always wanted that cut, but I haven't found anyone that can cut it right." I have referred many friends and strangers to Crystal who were impressed with how she has styled my hair and were looking for a great stylist they could trust with their hair. Crystal is clearly passionate about her career and it shows in the quality of the work she does!! If you want your hair to look and feel its best, make an appointment with Crystal ASAP! read more

I'm brand new to Yelp, as someone writing a review. I've used Yelp, to find places to stay away from, but felt compelled to write a review for a great service I received. I was in need of a real good haircut for a new job and decided to try a high end salon. From the moment I walked into Whole Aveda, I was warmly welcomed by friendly reception and offered a drink. My stylist was Gozde, a very personable and professional stylist. She asked me what I wanted done and gave me that exact cut. As if that wasn't enough, it was followed by a therapeutic shampoo, scalp massage and hot towel treatment. Anyone seeking a new stylist, I highly recommend Gozde, at whole Aveda Salon. I'm looking forward to returning in six weeks, thank you for a wonderful experience and great cut. read more

I came in to get a haircut with Emily and I had a wonderful time! Emily always does a fantastic job every time, and so does the rest of the Aveda crew! Aveda, and this location especially, has done a great job with handling COVID. They took my temperature at the door and made me sanitize my hands before taking a seat. All staff was wearing masks and cleaned their hands frequently. After I was done with getting my hair washed, the staff sanitized where I was sitting. Once I left they made sure to sanitize and clean where I was stationed. If you're worried about coming in because of COVID, you won't need to worry here. I am so impressed with how they handled everything and I will definitely be back when I need a cut again! Great job Aveda, you guys rock! read more

I've never experienced such professionalism as I was getting pampered like a princess! Goezde is highly skilled in designing and styling beautiful hairstyles! Her keratin treatment is like nothing I've experienced! No waiting three days and totally good for your hair unlike the popular Brazilian blowout! Melissa, also skilled in hairstyling give a beautiful pedicure and Lyn is a wonderful addition offering full esthetic services and soon to come massage therapy! From Claudia's warm welcome to each and every staff member...a fabulous experience! Convenient and immaculately clean! I love the fact that all product is natural, plant based and wonderfully scented with essential oils! A true spa experience! I highly endorse!! read more

Whole Aveda SalonSpa in Largo is awesome. I have been going here for years for not only for my hair cuts but also their hair spas. My stylist does a fantastic job with my cut! I have had many other stylists for services including their hair spas, as well as hair styles for a night out. I have very long thick hair that needs proper upkeep to make sure it doesn't dry out or get split ends. Their services have kept my hair looking fresh and I receive compliments all the time how shiny my hair is! In addition to their great services, they provide the best head and hand massages! Make sure to catch this salon on a customer appreciation night, lots of chances for freebies and mini spa treatments! read more

I love going to Whole Salon - the staff is always welcoming and friendly from booking to the second you walk in the door. I see Sydney about once a month and she is absolutely AMAZING!! she started doing my hair year back when she lived in Destin, FL so I was super excited to reconnect with her when I moved to the Clearwater area! Since March of this year she's gone above my goals every time with my color (mind you I have been a deep red, bold violet, platinum blonde, shadow roots, and now a very rich violet brown - all in 6 months and my hair is healthy and rich in color every time!!) She's an absolute sweet heart and I can't thank her enough for always taking care of my hair! read more

Crystal is absolutely lovely! I've been going to her for years, even following her from the Aveda salon in Oldsmar to this location. The first time I went to her, I had box dyed black hair that was severely fried. After just one color restoration, she managed to bring my hair back to the my EXACT natural color (lightish brown). My hair has always felt so healthy and soft after every appointment, and her blowouts are amazing. Always book a few weeks in advanced for her though. It's definitely worth it. The hot tea will always be a favorite tradition every time I visit Aveda as well. read more

There is only one stylist that I will trust my hair with and that is Crystal E! I previously had a horrific hair experience with different salon and I went over a year without getting my hair cut or colored. A friend recommended Crystal to me and she was beyond amazing! I love how she takes her time coloring and cutting my hair to perfection. I constantly get compliments about my hair and Crystal makes me feel beautiful and glamorous with each visit. I have super thick and long curly hair and she has worked her magic on my hair! There is No one else that I trust with my hair! read more

As always, I had a lovely experience. Dwayne is just the best. I've been following him around from location to location for years now. I've never trusted someone with scissors to my hair the way I trust Dwayne. I've been seeing him so long now that I pretty much just let him do whatever he thinks is best. He still always checks with me before cutting anything off to ensure that I'm comfortable with it. He's even taught me how to blow dry my hair and little tricks and tips to get certain styles. The price is small potatoes compared to the experience and peace of mind. read more

Jacque has been doing my hair since Whole Aveda opened. She is fantastic! She listens to what I want, and makes great suggestions. Each visit she does my base color, then adds a few highlights to give my hair dimension. The cut is always perfect. My favorite part of the experience is the shampoo. Jacque massages my head. Once she applies the conditioner, she wraps my head in a warm towel, then massages my hands. Heaven! The salon has a calm atmosphere, and everyone on staff is welcoming. Jacque has a super sense of humor, and makes the experience a joy. read more

Crystal Elliot is FABULOUS!! I started going to her after a bad haircut and she has worked miracles with my hair. The color always looks fantastic and the cut is fun but very easy to maintain. I have referred ladies to her and they always come to me and say what a wonderful job she has done with their hair. Everyone at the Largo salon is very polite and professional, it's so nice to be greeted at the door by Crystal Bauman and her wonderful smile. I highly recommend Crystal E to anyone who needs a great hairstylist. read more

I moved here from Michigan and used the same hairdresser for over 20 years and I was terrified on finding a new one. First Requirement was they had to use Aveda products just like my previous salon so I was very happy to find Whole Aveda in Largo. What really makes me happy is my new hairdresser, Crystal Elliot, she is fun, cute and extremely talented. She will stay late, come in early whatever it takes and she is patient with all my request even though some may be crazy! She is awesome!! I always leave 100% happy!! read more

FACT: In 2016 products and services from this salon were RAISED, while staff's pay was LOWERED. A customer informed me my stylist left this salon. NO ONE from this establishment called to tell me this although I had an upcoming appointment I had made 6 weeks ago. When I called to cancel my appointment, I was told, "YOUR RECORDS HAVE BEEN DELETED because she no longer works here." So let's get this straight I had an appointment and had I showed up on this date I would have been out of luck. HORRIBLE customer service. read more

You have to see Crystal Elliot!!! Crystal has been doing my hair for about the last 5/6 years!!! My hair has never been healthier. Crystal is an artist and extremely knowledgable about color, products, and different hair types as well as what your hair can handle. You will never have a bad experience. The whole Aveda salon is nothing short of a fabulous time. Everyone on the staff has a smile and is always willing to help and answer questions. I could go on and on it's really that good. Can't wait to go back read more
