    Great experience each time I go. Students and instructors show pride in their work. Clean upscale not your ordinary barber school

    Aveda Institute Denver - Another picture showing the "layers"

    This school seems to be a hit or miss situation. I've had neighbors who report mixed experiences,…read moremostly the complaints are service / attitude related with about half of them My experience was a miss. Service was to be high and low lights, mostly at the back of head . The student and teacher decided that they would only do highlights, which I caught part of the way into the service. (She kept my chair turned away from her rolling tray so I could not see the single bowl - should have been two colors). During the service, the student stated that she hated working with chemicals and hair, but needed to finish this section in order to graduate. Her focus was on skin; she intended to be an esthetician. My harshest criticism is directed at the male teacher. His demeanor was imperious and haughty. He was not available and non-responsive for checks as the chemical processed. At one point I had to get up to find both the student and teacher to ask for the chemical to be removed as I sensed it was over processing. I waited another ten minutes and decided to rinse this stuff out myself. They were taking a break as I walked by to the rinse room and the student followed me in to help. I was charged for the conditioners and other products they needed to put in my hair to repair the damage. I've put three family members though beauty colleges and been a color model at hair shows. I like to support the colleges and help student with the learning process. They were no able to take a cash payment, nor would they accept a check, which was not disclosed on their website. The check out student stated that personal checks signaled fraud. (I'm no thief or fraudster!) I did leave a $50 tip to the student with the check out student with the admonishment: "Please let her know to follow her heart in skincare and stay far away from hair services." A fish rots from the head IMO. This student had developed an attitude that was not customer centric, likely due to the influences of the teachers and management developing a toxic customer experience. She knew my hair was severely damaged but did not acknowledge or apologize. If she fails when she is on her own, it will be up to her to readjust the bad attitudes this school taught her. How could I hold her responsible for the bad acts of her teacher / influencers? The culture and experience at Aveda Institute is not a match for people who really know the service industry in my opinion.

    Some of the students are nice. Some of the instructors are nice, but there's definitely a few of…read morethat are not. It's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. I would only go there for a simple things.

    Aveda Institute Denver - THIS is what I asked for. Subtle layers, and an ashy grey. This picture was taken one year ago, the last time my hair was touched.

    Had a wildly awful experience here today. This person at the front desk was Incredibly…read moredisrespectful and dismissive, with no communication skills. I asked for this person's name and she refused to give it to me or let me speak to anyone. Just immediately "get out of here, you are not welcome, you are banned." Ok, that's cool. It was however wild how much she escalated the situation. So then I am outside leaving this review while the memory is fresh, on a public street, and this oddball has called security. I wasn't aware that I wasn't allowed to be in front of the place on a public street, this was odd and a little humiliating. I asked if I could speak to someone, they refused, I told them to take care and left. Good riddance then! The reason for the conflict is that they scheduled me with somebody specific and told me they would call if there was an issue with the scheduling - and when I came in, it was a completely different person (Emma) who had SMELLY HANDS (just came back from lunch, apparently) and didn't seem to know what they were doing. They then tell me they'd try to find someone else only to come back with their instructor who immediately started painfully pulling my hair and taking out my hair clips (I was wincing, she ignored it) without first asking for consent to touch me. At this point I was befuddled by how communication could be so sloppy and smirky and passive aggressive in an industry built on rapport, so I went to the front to try to reschedule or resolve only to be completely dismissed and disrespected by whoever that was working in the front. This person was either incapable or unwilling to participate in any comprehension or problem solving, and decided to be incredibly nasty about it. This is who represents this place, I guess. I've had a hit or miss in this facility (some great cuts, some awful ones too, I'd say this place is again, sloppy at best) and unfortunately today it was the last straw because while students are learning, there is no reason to disrespect someone and be dismissive.
