I don't trust many people with mine because it's taken me a long time to grow it out and take care of it, but he was the first person to cut it after two years of no trims, and I've been coming back every three months ever since. My hair has never felt better. I also brought my mom once, she wanted a short haircut, but Cameron made a better recommendation based on her face shape, and it turned out amazing. She left feeling so confident and beautiful! I've also been doing the strengthening treatment with my cuts, and it's made my hair noticeably healthier and shinier. This time around, I came in for a trim and a Keratin Express treatment, and the results were wowwwww. With all the rain lately, I usually get a ton of frizz, but this treatment actually works and is totally worth the hype. I also picked up a few products Cameron recommended including a mousse, an anti‑frizz serum, and a thermic treatment. Full disclosure: I'm a Kérastase lover and have been using the brand for years, but I didn't know about these specific treatments. Now I'm obsessed. My hair feels so smooth, glowy, and healthy. If you're picky about who touches your hair, Cameron is your guy. I couldn't be happier with the results every single visit!!!!

She explains her thought process, pushes back if she thinks something will turn out poorly, and offers alternative ideas instead. She is exceedingly kind. She took the time out of her morning to help me get ready for an urgent/surprising event. Could not have pulled it off without her.

I also recently lost my old stylist and needed to find a new one. I went to Jennifer for a cut and balayage. When I arrived, there was another client who she was finishing up with. She had it timed perfectly so I never felt like I was waiting for her to finish something with the other person. I felt like she was very attentive to my comfort, checking on me to move foil around and out of my face. She is very easy to talk to, but also is comfortable with silence. I didn't feel like I had to keep chatting unless I wanted to. I really appreciated this quality as some stylists just make me feel exhausted when I leave from all the talking. She uses high quality products and her salon has a clean and modern design. I was actually comfortable at the sink when she washed my hair. Pretty much every salon sink I have ever used has given me a sore neck. I was and still am very happy with my hair. I seriously felt amazing when I walked out with the styling she did. The color looks perfect. The cut was exactly what I wanted. I also was impressed with her speed and accuracy. She seems to seriously know her craft. I highly recommend, and will definitely go back.

She was able to accommodate everyone getting their hair and makeup done, with no worry of running over the allotted time. She handled it all herself, and it seemed like she was in three places at once. She made me look like the best and most beautiful version of myself.

I've been a client of the Aveda Institute for 15 plus years. As of late, I have been concerned…read moreabout the shift in quality and care that I've received from the Aveda Institute as of late. Today, I never saw an instructor. This has never happened before. Normally, once you do the initial consult with your STUDENT stylist, they get the Supervising Instructor to approve the plan. After the hair is cut, the Supervising Instructor comes and does a final check for approval and signs off. Even if the person is graduating that week or the next day, an instructor has ALWAYS checked it out. Today when the student went to get the instructor both times, the instructor didn't bother to come anywhere near me. I don't even know if they were present on the floor. The student tried to uncomfortabley shrug it off, but it was awkward. The last couple of times I've gone, when the supervising instructor has come, it's been obvious that she wasn't invested or interested and that it was a bother. I've never before this last year or so had any issue to be concerned but there is definitely a lack of professionalism and standard of care being modeled by these newer instructors. It's rather sad. I have always loved getting my hair and other services done here and I'm hoping it will return to the standards they once had.

I've booked two haircuts here since being a student and have loved both! Don't let the fact that…read morethey are "in training" steer you away from going. Both times my hair has received excellent care! At my first appointment, she spent close to half an hour trimming all my dead ends off and helping me start fresh with me on my hair journey. I can now say she is at her own salon in Briarwood mall! My second stylist (about a year and a half later) helped trim me up again and decided to style my natural wavy hair (I normally straighten it every day because I don't know how to style it curly). She walked me through the process and it turned out great. She told me she had about a month left of her program and graduates in November! Booking online is super easy and I've never had trouble making an appointment or rescheduling. I've actually booked 15 minutes before a cut because I was desperate and they had plenty of availabilities, but they do recommend you reschedule 24 hours in advance. I'm extremely impressed with the friendliness, service, and atmosphere here. It is clean and modern, smells good, and has a comfy waiting area. Because the stylists are in school, they have a supervisor check the cuts to make sure you like them at the end which is something I appreciate. Prices are extremely affordable- $18 includes a cut, wash, condition, and style. If you are a student and show your ID, it's an extra 10% off. There's also is no option to tip, although I did ask about one. Will be taking advantage of my student status as long as I can, but still, $18 is hard to beat!

Please listen to the negative reviews. There is a very real reason for them!…read more NOTE: I started writing this review in August 2022, but I am posting it in September 2022. I am a bride who started engaging with Aysha for her bridal hair services during January this year. My wedding is in September, it is August now. Just a few days ago, Aysha upped her prices for her bridal services a month before my wedding, telling me that this reason is to honor "inflation." When I refused, telling her she needed to honor the contract I signed at the time of "booking" her, she claimed that contract was not real because she did not countersign it. She also told me explicitly that she could raise the prices as she pleased as it was her business. Lastly, she said if I was not comfortable with the upped charges, that she will find another artist of "lesser cost" to me. The thing is, I paid Aysha a Zelle deposit for 30% of the services at the time I "booked" her and signed the contract from my side. Although money was exchanged, she is somehow claiming this was not a real contract. Right after she did this to me, I took the night to properly evaluate my experiences with her - which were all really awful. She never responded to me on time. She belittled me when we spoke. She took advantage of my stress as a bride. The next morning, I chose to not proceed with her bridal hair services (after she increased the prices for "inflation"). Since she was alleging this contract was not valid, she has no case to keep my money. I called her to tell her this and to return my deposit, but she told me "she does not think she can return it," because "it is only a month away from the wedding date." (Tell me how ironic it is that she even attempted to argue that, considering SHE was the one originally threatening to cancel her services on me if I didn't agree to pay her more! And, imagine how I felt as THE BRIDE when she called to threaten the validity of her contract with me, one month before the wedding!!!) She then tried saying that she would consider honoring the original contract prices to avoid paying the deposit back to me, but I did not want a hair stylist who manipulated me that way... she broke my trust! She said she would call me back, but she did not. I tried calling her - she did not pick up. I emailed her documenting all the horrible things she did to me (she is extremely disorganized; she could not even remember which bride I was whenever she would finally respond), also using that email as a formal written notice to ask for my money back by that Friday, and she did not even respond. Even before she increased her prices to me, Aysha had always been flaky with me and sometimes took months before she responded to my emails and texts (this was true even after I paid her my deposit and thought we were booked). As a bride, every day can feel like a year when you are planning every detail out, so punctuality and accountability with your vendors is critical. I learned I was not the only bride who experienced this, but I learned too late. Some girl who I know personally also experienced an extremely similar case, but she did not speak up because she thought it would not change anything. I only found out by expressing my angst to a friend that many other brides were in the same boat as me. It appears there are others even on Yelp who also went through what I did. I beg of all brides who experienced the same things as us - please do your part and LEAVE AN HONEST REVIEW! So if she is that bad, why all the positive reviews, you ask? In my opinion, I think this is because Aysha knows how to charm people. Even after telling me she was increasing the prices, which is completely unacceptable given the pretense of a contract we had, she somehow played the victim card by saying she shouldn't have booked a bride who couldn't honor her "high prices." I was perfectly willing to pay the amount we agreed to in writing, but somehow she was repainting the narrative. It's very manipulative behavior! When she raises her prices shortly before a bride's wedding, the bride will likely just pay it to make sure the booking still is valid. Unfortunately for Aysha, I am not that kind of a bride, and I am going to take every appropriate, legal action I can to get my money back and spread the truth. If you are a bride, please - don't end up in my shoes. Listen to the reviews, do your research, and pick someone reliable. It's your special day! Please, pick someone deserving to do your hair. Positive vibes only.
