Her massage techniques seriously rivaled those of the estheticians I have worked with at top tier spas across the country. I wish I lived closer or I'd be here all the time. In the past I have come for shampoo blowouts and loved it. They definitely prep students to set them up for success.

I've been going to the Aveda Institute in Charlotte since relocating from California, and overall I…read moregenuinely appreciate what the school offers -- especially the affordability and the opportunity for students to learn in a real salon environment. In San Francisco, the Aveda schools separate students into different levels or cohorts, so you have a better idea of experience level and appointment timing. Charlotte seems a bit more of a mixed experience, so I always plan extra time when booking. This most recent appointment was unfortunately a bit challenging for me. What was expected to be a standard haircut and blowout turned into nearly a three-hour appointment, and by the end I was honestly exhausted. The instructors were excellent and very attentive. One instructor in particular stepped in professionally to help guide the haircut shape, layering, and face framing I was asking for, which I really appreciated. He was kind, observant, and clearly invested in helping the student succeed while making sure I felt heard as the guest. Where the experience became difficult was more around confidence level, pacing, and overall guest interaction. The student was very sweet and well-intentioned, but there was a great deal of nonstop conversation throughout the appointment, and it became hard to relax. I think one of the biggest skills students can learn -- beyond technical training -- is how to read the room and recognize when a guest may want a quieter, more calming salon experience. I had mentioned upfront that I'd been stressed and was really looking forward to a relaxing shampoo and scalp massage, but unfortunately the shampoo experience felt rushed and incomplete despite spending quite a bit of time at the bowl. The blowout and styling process also became very lengthy and product-heavy, and by the next day my hair felt sticky and my scalp itchy from the amount of product used. That said, I do want to give credit where it's due: the staff handled checkout professionally, and the supervisor kindly offered for me to return within seven days if I wanted adjustments to the layers or styling. I truly appreciated that gesture and the professionalism behind it. I think Aveda Institute Charlotte has a lot of talent and potential, but perhaps there's room for additional coaching around guest communication, confidence-building, professionalism, time management, and creating a more relaxing client experience alongside the technical education. I'll likely return because I do believe in supporting beauty schools and student learning environments -- I'll just be more mindful about scheduling enough time and communicating my preferences more directly going forward.
