There is great parking in the back but had to circle around to find it. It is easy to miss but signs point you in the right direction.

I had a relaxing massage but next time I will get deep tissue. Overall I would go back.

I pick at my nails so my thumbs have this weird bump on them, which she offered to smooth down. I asked for a French tip. She painted 2 different colors on 2 of my nails so I could see which base I wanted for my French tip and helped me make a decision. :) She asked how thick I wanted the tip and made sure I liked it before continuing, with offers to change anything I didn't want. Nai was super sweet and made me feel completely comfortable. I'd highly recommend her services and will definitely be back!!

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!

If you could have a top shelf experience for nails, this is it! It's no frills nail care done with…read morehigh-quality products and skillful attention to detail. I was in Ann Arbor for a few days and wanting to get a pedicure. I'd mentally resolved that I would not be able to get my nails done on a Sunday. However, I went down State Street to grab some lunch. As I exited the restaurant with my to go order in hand, I looked up and saw the nail sign on in an upstairs window across the street. It took me a while to find the right door to go into to get to the nail salon; however, I was successful. You enter in a small door that's nestled between a couple of businesses and have to take the stairs up to the second floor, where Athena Nails is located (along with some other small businesses). I went in half expecting them to actually be closed (despite the sign being on), or unavailable to take me at that time. I have my lunch in hand and needed to be back at my hotel in about 80 minutes. I was shocked when the woman said that she could take me immediately, but I readily agreed. It's a suite space, so there were two pedicure chairs, and 2 or 3 individual nail stations. One pedicure chair was already occupied, so I took the second. I only use regular polish on my natural nails (no gel, SNS, or acrylics). Even though I'd noted this at intake, I had to clarify this once in the chair as the experience seemed, we were headed for gel polish. Once clarified, my nail technician quickly, switched gears and went to collect colors that were close to the shade. I chosen from the options originally provided. I was surprised to see that the regular polishes were all from a luxury brand (Hermès) but it made the slightly higher price I was quoted make sense. I see the experience is no frills, because it was just a straight pedicure. None of the extra add-ons that lots of nail shops offer these days. No paraffin wax or hot stones or scented waters; no massage chairs; etc. The chair did have a basin for hot water to sit your feet in, but it didn't do anything special. The technician cared for my nails, painted them, applied some special oils to them, and then lotioned my feet. I was able to eat my lunch (a salad) as she worked. I got out of there on time to get back to my hotel. Once I got to my hotel, I was able to change clothes without ruining my pedicure. It was completely dry with just the products she used. I didn't need time with my feet under a fan or anything else. Here's the kicker: I am now, two weeks out from this experience, and my polish still looks fresh. My toe nails are just now starting to show the first sign of even growing out the tiniest bit. If I lived locally, I'd patronize this place again and again.

Trying to schedule a second cut has been a nightmare. They cancelled my first appointment because of a plumbing issue. Totally understandable. I rescheduled the next week. Cancelled again. This time, I only got the call 10 min before my appointment. No voicemail or email left before that. Super frustrating. I'm a full time student and also working about 30 hours/week outside of class. It's not easy for me to schedule a hair cut and every time I do, it's something I look forward to all week. Feels like I'm Charlie Brown and they're Lucy with the football. It's just not gonna happen. Guess I'll try somewhere else next week.
