Stumbled upon this store and was pleasantly surprised to find out that they have complimentary 20 minute facials. I enjoyed my experience here! The facial was relaxing and you can tell that they really know and care about their products. Walked me through everything and even offered some samples at the end, I did not feel pressured to buy like most places. However their products are so high quality that it's hard to resist! The store is clean and well kept. It's a soothing environment and very welcoming. The staff is eager to help and answer questions! read more

Aveda Store - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - San Diego, California

We were driving out of town and I realized I forgot my hair gel. Luckily this aveda store wasn't too out of our way while we were driving. The store is located upstairs to the right of the escalators. I have med/thick wavy hair in the 2's and use the flax seed and confixer gels all the time. I've tried the nutriplenish curl gelee but didn't like it. They definitely try to upsell a lot here but as a former retail store manager & employee I get it. You have to meet the daily avg sale & total sales when you work retail. Regardless, the person who greeted and helped me was very nice and I'd definitely go back to this store. read more

As a certified Aveda Esthetician, The Aveda Concept is something we've always believed in, and we have always enjoyed their philosophy and products. However, most of our purchases were on line, so our ability to experience the "Aveda Care" on a personal level at a store was something we had missed out on. All that changed when we walked into the Aveda Fashion Valley store. We were instantly greeted with warmth and open arms by Randi. Randi, along with Averi, took well over an hour with us in pure consulting mode; guiding us through a full assessment and review of which products would deliver both what we sought and genuine solutions to our needs. Their product knowledge was above and beyond, and their placing our needs first and foremost was more than we could have asked for. In this day and age, building community can be a challenge, so to experience a wonderful product that aligns such wonderful consultants behind it was a treat, and made us feel part of a community of self-care experts we plan to revisit again and again! read more

Avery went well! She had great customer service and was able to help me reinstate my points. I did not know the system changed to points expire after a year and I almost lost over 35k in points. I was devastated. But she totally helped me out. So grateful I walked in for bar of Rosemary Mint soap. read more

Randi was absolutely helpful today! I came in with a 75$ budget for some haircare products. I know Aveda products pretty well as I have been a costumer for a long time. Randi was so pleasant to chat with about products and introduced me to the new line Invanti! She is extremely knowledgeable and such a kind person. Great job hiring Randi! Not only do I get to try some new fabulous Aveda products, but I also spent a little more for some fun travel sizes, and even learned that I can order from the store and they ship for free! You're the best Randi! I'll be back! Lori M. read more

After Gila Rut salon was closed early AGAIN, I headed over to Fashion Valley because I was completely out of Rosemary Mint Conditioner, that I've been using for almost 30 years. Yes, I was 9 when I started using it (*cough*, I'm lying). I drove over to the mall in an absolute foul mood because I'm sick of Gila Rut being closed early without warning. Enter Matthew. He was like an angel sent down just for me on a night where I was dreading a trip to the mall. I arrived at the mall so incredibly annoyed and left feeling relaxed with a luscious feeling face and hands. Matthew was so good at explaining different products, especially the thickening tonic that I'm hoping will help me with my baby fine hair. SOLD! I should have bought some of the lavender, sage & clary sage oil that he put on my wrists but I'm sure I'll walk away with some on my next trip. It smells divine, like a spa embedded into my wrists. Since I was there, I thought I would help the last hour of Matthew's shift go by faster and help myself to a free mini-facial. YUM! I was so relaxed that I was afraid I'd fall asleep in the car in the parking lot. Seriously, give Matthew a promotion, a raise, a new car..something! While I was browsing, I overheard him talking to another customer and he knows his stuff! He not only has great product knowledge but he's one of those people who has an aura that automatically calms you. After talking about a mask I've been using from The Body Shop, we figured out that I know him from when he worked there! Small world! Thank you Aveda for stealing him, I rarely go into TBS anymore. Thank you Matthew, you don't even know how much you altered my mood after Gila Rut threw a wrench into my night. You also made me not dread having to drive into the valley anymore. I adore you, my mall BFF. I just remembered I have 2 birthday coupons that I need to redeem before the end of the month so you'll probably be seeing me soon! read more

Mom and I stopped in to buy Dad's shampoo while we were running errands. The clerk that waited on us was polite and very welcoming. She directed us to the area where we'd find Dad's shampoo and then asked if we had time to sit down for a free hand massage. Mom received a stress relief hand massage with scented oils and lotions and I received an energy boost one. I like that the clerk didn't try to push us to purchase anything from the massage session, instead she made small talk with us while she did each massage. I liked the oil that was used for my massage, as it was light and pleasant, yet I did feel more perky from the time I walked out the door to a few hours later at home. I would come back to this location again for the good service. read more

Yes! Great products and customer service. A truly aroma therapeutic shopping experience! read more

Love this store. It's clean and all precautions for C19 are in place. I love Aveda products- they keep my hair living its best life.

I'm hooked on the Aveda facial care products. Why would anyone go into a salon, when you can go to an Aveda store and get a complimentary facial? I feel like I have to limit my free facials to 2 per year because I don't want to take advantage of the amazing offer. I recently went in to re-up on my face wash and moisturizer, and figured nights as well see if they could squeeze me in for a facial. This was my 3rd Aveda facial, and wow, Hans was quite wonderful. I felt like he was happy to be doing it. He was thoughtful, and had a great touch. The 1st 2 I got were at least six months ago from a woman whose name I can't remember; but she waS also really good. I just felt like the talented people working there who give the amazing facials deserved some extra points for being so amazing! read more

I'm a big fan of Aveda products ever since I had turn down service at a hotel where they drew a bath for me and scented it with Aveda oils...ever since then I've been buying shampoos, makeup, and oils from Aveda. I really love the postcards they send for samples and every year for my birthday they send me a postcard for a free personal blends gift (a full size perfume or bath salt product)... And I'm a big fan of Aveda's founder; Horst Rechelbacher. They had the book that he authored, Aveda Rituals here and I flipped through it last time I visited. The book had aruyvedic and massage techniques and is beautifully photographed. I started doing scalp, neck, and shoulder rosemarylavender massages after reading about it in this book. Horst Rechelbacher is an organic farmer (I'm a big organic gardening fan) and he is launching a new line called Intelligent Nutrients; skin care, hair care, personal lubricants, baby care, and functional foods and nutraceuticals....plant based products are much less toxic for you than petroleum based cosmetics because our skin absorbs 70% of what we put on it! Now that it's holiday season, I've been using the hair powder which is really great for adding volume and making my hair less slick so that it'll stay up in an up-do for holiday parties (especially useful for 80's parties). I like that it melts in my hair because when I first considered getting it I was a little frightened that it would look like white powder in my hair but it doesn't...YAY! read more

I love the way Aveda's products make my hair feel, unfortunately I'm not too fond of the way they smell. Don't get me wrong or anything, but I'm not a fan of sandalwood, musk, or generally plant/herb scents. I love fruity scents. I highly recommend the hair gloss they have. read more

Store is always well kept, and employees always ready to help! I'm part of their rewards program and it's honestly so great coming to the store every month. The employees always recommend something new and are just very knowledgeable about the products! I wish Covid would go away so I can get my complimentary tea! read more

I love Aveda, and this particular store is pretty amazing. The ladies here are very knowledgable about all of the products and can almost always figure out if a product will work for me or not. If it doesn't, they are right on top of the problem trying to fix it for me! They are sweet and remember my family's names, even though we are only in there every few months (hey, Aveda products LAST!). I love the tea and the ladies are always entertaining my child. Thanks, ladies! You rock! read more

Let's face it, Aveda has been around for ever and they do make a great high-end product. If you're into a quality haircare/skincare and you want something that is more on the natural side, this is the place. I like to buy from the Aveda store for the shoulder massages they give on weekends! Sometimes they have been amazing and I would have paid at least $40!!! Therefore, if you like there stuff, buy from the store. read more

What can I say... Aveda products are awesome. Just bring your fully loaded bank account because they are uber expensive!!! I love that they offer a sample of hot tea while you shop and are friendly to offer advise. Quick Tip - do your Aveda shopping on the first weekend of May or December because they offer double reward points only 2x a year. read more

Environmental Lifestyle store? Im really not sure if im reviewing the right spot, in fact, im not sure why im reviewing it at all! I guess, because one of the women working in there yesterday showed love. A female friend of mine put me on to the Aveda shampoo a while back and, well, yea, i got hooked on it...what can i say!? Not really my type of store, and im not really much of a mall kinda guy, but i decided to roll out with a friend and figured id grab some more 'poo while i was out that way. Yea, thats it, review; end. read more

I was in Dallas for a Texas Rangers game and stayed at the Baylor Indigo Hotel. They had some Aveda Rosemary Mint shampoo. This stuff was AMAZING! I dropped by this Aveda store and picked up the biggest containers of the Rosemary Mint Shampoo and Conditioner. I've been here twice and both times they served some kind of free tea. I didn't try it but if you like free stuff.....Knock yerself out. read more

I walked in with dry skin and left with an amazing experience and great product samples. The customer service rep was full of suggestions and great insight, her down to earth perosna made me feel comfortable, and her attention to detail left me feeling valued as customer. Thanks for fixing my week, Corrina you hooked it up ! read more

Wow! Had never been before. My husband did an event for them so I was invited in. I can't remember who helped me (sorry!) but she was super sweet and made awesome recommendations for me. I absolutely love ALL of the products she thought would be a good fit for me. I'll definitely be back read more

I have been a fan of Aveda products for YEARS. I shop at the Fashion Valley store often but rarely take advantage of the complimentary perks of massages or facials. Yesterday I had some extra time so decided I would have the massage. Corinna was lovely! She talk me about different products and provided a very relaxing massage. I enjoyed it so much I returned today and had her give me a mini-facial (amazing) and a bit of make-up chat. I left with more products but not because of hard sell but because Corinna was so good! Thank you, Corinna, for being so sincere and fun during the massage and facial. I look forward to seeing you next time I'm in (which will be soon I'm sure!) read more

I came in here because I love ALL Aveda products. Shampure has been expanding their product line and I decided to drop in and see what's new. Claire was very professional, attentive, NOT pushy like some sales people and overly kind. Because of Claire I will continue to make the drive to Fashion Valley Aveda. She not only helped me find what I was looking for (shampure travel size products) but also informed me of future events (double points :) thank you Aveda for hiring such an amazing employee. Truly the definition of excellent customer service. read more

The sales people here are exceptionally well trained And I have had some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. I especially like working with Logan, who really knows her job without being too pushy. read more

Aveda's cosmetics for face and skin are so much better for your skin than widely used brands such as MAC. Fresher and a little bit cheaper. Reusable compacts=enviornment friendly!! read more

I am a big fan of Aveda in general, but the ladies at the Fashion Valley store never disappoint. They are well educated and informed on their products and will provide samples of other ones that you may be interested in. Whenever I bring my four year old in with me, they treat her to a mini makeover which makes her feel like the princess she is. read more

Aveda products are always fantastic, but what makes it better than anywhere is ALWAYS the fantastic people who work there and I have to say that today I tried multiple new products, received an amazing 3 minutes relaxing shoulder massage and even had a quick trim. All nicely spruced up for my baby's 4D scan today. Thank you!! read more

Love this store and their products! They work so well with my hair and they are environmentally conscious. Can't ask for much more. They are a bit pricey, but worth it to me. read more

The girls who work here are so sweet and very knowledgeable of Aveda's products. I recommend this store specifically to anyone! Wonderful customer service :) read more

Claire was so lovely and so sincere in her excitement for Aveda products, particularly the new hair mists. Was treated like a queen!

Aveda Experience is an understatement. Fine tea offered while browsing, expert advice given on any number of concerns, free sample of hair care products given with four square check in, free hand massage given before check out and signed up for loyalty program that includes free gifts on your birthday. I feel like I just went to a really nice spa and was totally waited on hand & foot! I will definitely be back, these ladies know all the good buttons to push :) read more

This place is my heaven. Not only do I love the products but the girls working are always so sweet. I love the complimentary services they provide - always a wonderful moment of serenity in my very fast paced life. read more

The staff here always gives excellent customer service! The store manager is always so personable and you can tell everyone here loves the lifestyle of the brand. I appreciate the level of service I receive every time I walk through those doors.Thank you Aveda Team at Fashion Valley!! read more

I just stopped by here today to stock up on some of my favorites. As always, the staff is informative but not at all pressure sales. I was immensely impressed by the young lady that assisted me. I needed to get out of the store quickly, but also needed some recommendations. She was helpful and quick and I walked out of the store with three things I had planned to buy but also some tea that I had not planned on buying. When I entered the store they offered me some tea - it was delicious and I had to know what it was. It is a tea that is naturally sweet. Thank you ladies at Aveda, Fashion Valley for your great assistance! read more

Shirley was super helpful and knowledgeable about aveda products. I walked in with no intention of buying but left spending money NOT because she pressured me to buy but because of her knowledge and confidence in the products. I'll return for sure! read more

No Stars, The ladies there have a disinterested look. I have never had a pleasant experience. !! One of the ladies had such a stern look ! Like she owns the place. The girls there need to learn how to smile better. read more

I give five stars for product and customer service throughout the entire 10 years I have consistently used Aveda products. I thought their rewards program was good until I had all of the points taken away for supposed none use for two years and when I attempted to have them restored I was told to send in an itemized sales receipt to show use. Who keeps their sales receipts for purchases of moisturizers? I was told maybe the store in Fashion Valley did and when I asked them I was directed back to headquarters. Ping pong!!! read more
