I'm on a journey to revive my once curly hair that is now lifeless and stringy due to a bad dye job from a previous salon. From reading the reviews, I knew the stylist at Aruverde were my only hope. When I called to schedule the appt they didn't have any availability for three months. But that didn't deter me, it only spoke to how good the stylist are if they are this booked. So finally, the actual day of my appt arrives and I arrive at the salon only to be warmly greeted by all of the staff members. The salon was adorable, with a high end look but made you feel comfortable. Simony, the owner, tended to my mane. She did wonderful and was very knowledgeable about her craft. We came up with a game plan to get me to my end goal. My next appt is in June and I can't wait to go back and see how my hair has progressed. I cannot recommend this salon enough. These stylist care about the integrity of your hair more than simple fixes or doing a style that will damage your hair. Simony flat out told me that she will never agree to do something to my hair that will damage it and I like stylist that aren't scared to say NO. Give this spot a try, you won't regret it.

The most unfortunate experience at Aveda today more so as i had been their client the longest…read moretime. They have a cancellation policy which is not uncommon. once when I have canceled before close to my appointment, they called back and charged me on the card. This seems usual for many businesses so it was fine. Next time had an appointment within 24 hours (the next day), but my father-in-law got sick and had to be hospitalized. This was a 911 kind of emergency, the day before my appointment in the afternoon I called them immediately to let them know what had happened -- this is the day before my appointment. Nonetheless next time during my visit they wanted me to pay the cancellation charge because it was within the 24 hour policy as the owner kept insisting ( I called later in the afternoon the day before and the appointment was later in the morning the day after). The owner mentioned that it's not fair to other customers -I'm just wondering where is the equity and fairness issue for a client like me who calked a day earlier and had a Medical emergency to deal with. Irrespective of good products and standard service, this is how unfortunate it was and I don't see the right business policy, personal touch or client oriented attitude in this. That too I was charged the next time I went to see them!!! Wow!!!! I am appalled!!!

I have to write about Taylor…read more I'm a hair-vain redhead whose largest regular splurge is my every-four-weeks outing to have my color done. I've been seeing Taylor for over 2 years and she is directly and completely responsible for this addiction. She is also fully to blame for me being stopped regularly by strangers asking about my color. It's a good thing I'm friendly. She introduced me to ballyage and, people, I may never be the same again. She somehow gets my red to stick. This is NOT easy, and I usually walk into the salon looking as glossy auburn as I did when I walked out 4 weeks earlier. I am in love with her. Her personality matches her brilliant skills and if you can get in with her, you are really in for something special. You've been warned.

They never let you know what you are being billed for or what they plan to do during your visit…read more Last time I checked out the bill felt high but it is what it. Until I thought about it and asked for an itemized breakdown. Turns out I was charged for two haircuts. Also you can book a cut and color but you end up with highlight a glaze and no haircut. They just do whatever they can charge most for in the time they have. Also very hard sell on products and lectured that if you don't buy products at the salon your hair won't last. Also some stylist require you to stay absolutely still for the entire 4 hour visit. The blame issues on bad color cut or timing on of you move in the chair. It expensive with no perks. No changing room no coat check. No water or coffee. Over priced budget service and every single person leaving the salon has the same cut and color.

I do not know what product they use but I have been getting my hair done across this country for over 50 years. Been from the very top stylist to average. I truly thought that was not good common sense to recharge especially with Tammy being one of the owners. I would not recommend them.

This salon has around 8 stations s and they are not always filled with clients, two rinsing stations and offer different services which can be listed online. Many of the stylists are very kind and they have friendly banter going on~ upon entry, you are offered coffee, water or tea along with snacks if you end up there for a while~ which can be the case if you do hair colors or a complex look~ I took a journey with Mckenzie from black to blonde, to brown, to red and again blonde. She always offers realistic and hair safe options to maintain my hair healthy but also giving me what I want~ she is very kind and makes me feel comfortable with asking questions and making sure I'm ok during the whole process which for me, can take hours seated while color processes. Yes, it is on the higher end in price, but very worth the service and hospitality and hair care! Staff are LGBTQ+ friendly and very accommodating. I recommend this place to many of my friends and family.

The first time the staff dying it literally said "oh wow this is more blue that I expected". Ended up going back to get it fixed since it was so uneven and somehow ended up with purple splotches all over my head (see photo). The stylist even requested I come back another day to get it fixed because she knew it wasn't good at all. I called today and was suuuuper polite. I said "your employees are all so kind but the hair didn't come out as they said it would". The owner straight up said "f*** you. Do not come back you're never allowed back here." I Was super nice and understanding but she's horrible. I even overheard her screaming at the assistants while I was initially getting my hair dyed. Woman needs some Prozac for real. Jerry and Amy are super sweet and LGBTQ+ friendly though appreciated them.

I…read morefirst heard of her through an old neighbor of mine who had recently gotten married after I loved the way the girls looked in her wedding photos! I asked who did their hair and makeup and she led me to Caitlin at Impulse Hair Designs! Caitlin did not disappoint. I met her in her studio in Providence to get my hair colored and cut about 6 months before the wedding which was wonderful because I got to know her a little bit before the big day. She was amazing right off the bat! Super friendly, fun personality, and an amazing listener. She really wanted to know all about my family dynamics, friendships, and plans for the big day right away. She took the time to get to know me and really listen to what I envisioned for the big day. I brought my mother to my hair and makeup trial about a month before the wedding on 9/21/19 and Caitlin did not disappoint. She was extremely welcoming and made this day FUN for the both of us! She listened to me when I showed her what I wanted and to be honest... I didn't have to change anything from the trial because she was so good the first time! On the morning of the wedding, she brought a great team of 3 ladies to do our hair and makeup and they travelled over an hour to my mother's house, which was so helpful and accommodating. The stylists were friendly, calm, and did exactly what the girls asked for, making sure it was okay with me (the bride) before doing anything unexpected! I am so glad that I booked Caitlin and her team for my wedding day. I felt like the most beautiful bride and CANNOT wait to see the professional photographs! THANK YOU CAITLIN! I will continue seeing Caitlin to get my hair done on a regular basis and will 100% recommend her to friends and family in the future!!

I cannot recommend Caitlin highly enough for your wedding hair and makeup needs. Starting from the…read morevery beginning of the process, she was communicative and easy to work with. She gave me so much time on the day of my trial, honoring my desire to try different looks and take feedback about what I liked and didn't like, and even was willing to do another trial just so I could experience multiple options of an updo vs. a glam wave. I already loved the time I had spent with Caitlin in her salon but the energy that she and Megan brought on the morning of the wedding was more than I could have asked for. They made everyone feel so comfortable, including members of my bridal party that didn't have experience getting their hair done or felt a little awkward. They were so receptive to different ideas and made everyone's hair dreams come true. They were incredibly efficient and we got done in the perfect amount of time. And the hair and makeup itself! My updo was exquisite and lasted all night long with no problems. Similarly, the makeup looked gorgeous throughout the night. I felt like an absolute princess and I am so grateful to Caitlin and Megan for being a part of my day.
