Aveda Institute Brandon

"Went to the salon last week and receptionist hands me a paper to sign during check in. She was insistent that I just sign so that she could speed up the check in process but I told her I will not sign anything without reading it first, regardless of who is in line behind me. Next, I met my stylist, Chloe. She was AMAZING!!! After going here for about 6 months now, I can honestly say she was the best. I felt bad for her though because once we had our consultation she was discussing her plan with the teacher, DawnMarie. Sadly, this teacher was very distracted by her headset and other students who were interrupting that she gave Chloe some incorrect advice on how to proceed with my hair. We learned LATER from another instructor that my touch up and highlights could have been done all at once INSTEAD of touch up, wait, wash, dry THEN highlights, wait, wash, dry and style. My 3 hour appointment turned into 6 1/2 hours! In addition, I specifically asked for my fringe not to be cut too short, but DawnMarie insisted on cutting too much. In the end, I love my color and hate my fringe. As a result, I understand its a school, but its also a business. I would advise the leaders to slow down, put a halt to the interruptions, and really work with the students and customers."

"I went in for a haircut yesterday and had a great experience from check-in to checkout. The ladies at the front desk were very professional and my appointment was right on time. The student, Rachel, did a phenomenal job at cutting my hair. I have very thick wavy hair and I walk out of the salon unhappy 90% of the time, but not this time. THANK YOU, RACHEL. I will definitely be back again."

"I had a fantastic experience with Aimee and her instructor Kayla at Aveda Institute Brandon. They were very courteous, attentive, and professional. They understood my concerns and expectations, and offered me honest and helpful suggestions. They also ensured that I was comfortable and happy throughout the process. I came to the institute to color at first did not work but Aimee and Keyla did a remarkable job of correcting it and giving me a fresh and beautiful color that matched my skin tone and style. I was very impressed by their expertise. I am very pleased with the results and I have received many compliments on my color. I would highly recommend Aimee and Kayla to anyone who is looking for a high-quality service and a friendly environment. They are the best in the industry!"

"I love coming to this beauty school. They are always professional and I love the fact that they take appointments as some schools only do walk-ins. They recently started a discount program that you can buy into and it’s an amazing deal. I can’t wait to use my gift cards from it for facials and massages. I highly recommend this place."

"Mae was amazing! I’ve come in three times for her services. Once for a trim, second and third for both my color consult and my color appointment. She wowed me with her work! I have insanely dark curly hair and I didn’t want to damage my curls but I wanted a vibrant Auburn and she fulfilled that for me! I will definitely be going back!"
