Looking for a place to get a blowout? And no, boys, I mean a hair blow-dry--get your minds out of…read morethe gutter! AVEDA Institute is a great spot. It's a training school, so you'll have students doing your hair, and while they're working toward their certification, they're not compensated beyond tips--so remember to tip! They offer hairstyling, color treatments, and even facials, which are fantastic. Just be mindful of which level student you book with--since they're still learning, it can take a bit longer, and it might not be perfect, but it's great for simple services like blowouts (aka blow-drys). The students are super sweet, eager to please, and honestly do a great job. For a blow-dry, I paid around $25-30 with a tip, which is such a steal compared to what you'd normally pay in NYC. I've also had facials done there and they were wonderful--just ask for more experienced students when booking if you're nervous about that. I highly recommend AVEDA for a mini spa day that won't break the bank. It's not a Groupon deal--it's actually half the price of regular salons and spas in the city!

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.)

She was very gentle that I tried to relax but the the environment settings was that great as she was getting interrupted by other classmates.

"Warning" Extremely rude and unprofessional. As I'm…read moresearching for a school to initiate a cosmetology program, I called this school to get info on their program and facilities. I asked when I can stop by the school for a tour of their premises and I was told by the manager: You cannot coming and see the school unless you register for the program, I said well I will like to see the school before making a decision, I've already saw one school and I have an appointment next week to see another school, I just want to make sure I'm making the right decision that's why I will like to go see the school before committing to a program if possible. Managers reply's to me: "there is no need for me to go look at their school, what I need to do is make up my mind since it seems I'm not sure of what I want, when you know what you want gives us a call." And she hang up the phone on me. This type of behavior is unacceptable and very disrespectful!

She really listened to what I was looking for and even was willing to make a few adjustments after she had dried my hair.
