Aveda Institute New Orleans

Had a good student this time (about to graduate) who gave me an excellent pedicure. The last few times I've had a not-so-great experience, and I'd almost decided not to come back. Glad I did. more

I have visited the Aveda Institute/School for the purpose of getting a manicure and pedicure several times. While, the students do a fairly good job, I feel they are not supplied the best of materials needed to do a better job. The nail polishes are at minimal availablity as far as color selection, the polishes are too thick and cannot do a good cover job as it goes on too thickly. The professional would have a hard time to do a good polish, muchless the student. Each time I have asked aboutt he polish issues, I have been told they are on order, this has been going on for over a month at least. If waiting for new polish, what about thinning the ones you do have to at least help the students do a better job. Your location is convenient and makes it easy for me to use the services there, but very unhappy about the polishes available. The store looks attractive when you walk in but very unattractive when you go upatairs for your services. The floor are all cracked up and very ugly not to mention dangerous. Falling is an option with this problem. The pedicure tubs are hedious and most of them are not working. When you train in a nice environment you get nicer results.I must say the students try very hard to accomodate the clients. Thank you. Rose more

It was my first time there and I will return and refer the services to others. I loved my experience and my new hairstyle. more

I received a thorough consultation on both the cut & color. It was original thought that the plum/purple highlights that I wanted were not available at the institute. The stylists working with me checked further and discovered that a new color - blackberry- was in fact available. Our station became a hotspot, as other stylists were excited about the new color. I have dark brown, curly hair and wanted to avoid a triangular or round cut. I asked lots of questions and was treated so well. I had to comment on her attention to detail in applying the color and foils! This impressed me. The cut was just as precise. My hair looks sassy and fabulous. I had such an enjoyable experience. Thank you to the friendly, skilled ladies @ AI. more

i was very disappointed with my service last night. more

I got just the ends of my long hair cut on Friday, June 24th and it was fine and the supervisor advised the girl how to cut it. But my husband went for a 3:00 appt. and the girl that cut his hair was absolutely terrible............... I don't know if she's ever cut hair! Apparently she told my husband that she has never cut a man's hair..... why would the front desk put someone that has never cut a man's haircut? I thought the girls had a little more experience with the public before they were put on the floor..... and her supervisor wasn't any help to her prior to the cut or after the cut per my husband. Unfortunately, this will be the last time we will ever come back..... more

Can you say wonderful for a waxing and not ouch. I can. Courtney was terrific, to bad for me she is graduating in 3 days, but good for her. more

My student stylist was friendly and very confident in her abilities. The instructor Lan (?) was also friendly and professional. I liked my haircut and it was a very pleasant experience. more

I got what I expected. A haircut that will get me through the next 4-6 weeks. Occasionally I luck out here and get a really great cut, about every third time. So, that saves me the trouble of paying for a John Jayish type place. When I don't, that's where I head every three to four cuts. The students are great, and I'm glad to help out. I am often at a loss to explain what is "wrong" with my cut so I wonder how constructive I am. Technically the cut was "right" but just didn't feel as good as it does when it is spot on. You can't beat 15 bucks and an excuse to escape for a couple hours (since the process takes some time here due to the student's "educational" requirements). Try it out, but be warned that you will have to say no to a free makeup consultation, and buying the Aveda products (which I do not use since they make my hair feel dirty, and not a in a "that was easier to style since it was dirty" kind of way). I do know a lot of people who rave about them, though. more

Eyebrow waxing make sure to turn your head and give long hard look it wasn't till I got home to find then very uneven. Then next day to find out burnt a bit from the wax more

As always, it is always wonderful!! more

Asked for my hair to be lightened three shades and wanted my eyebrows to match. After the bleaching of my hair, which was not the color I was assured it would be, I was then informed that my eyebrows could not be lightened. Very disappointed. more

Tenille did an excellent job. more

What a way to start your weekend!!! Dijon was the best company and all the while never skimmed on professionalism. I know that the Lord will use her gift in the future. more

Everyone is so nice and professional at Aveda Institute New Orleans. I go there every month to get my haircut and prefer them over the Aveda Lakeside across the street in the mall. more

I like the night service; although I would like to get my hair colored and leave with wet hair, especially in the summer, no need to blow it out, I am only going home. more

Second time with Paige and another great cut! more

This is not my first or last time getting a service done from here. My experiences are always great! I left relaxed after my facial! I recommend everyone to try aveda once. And the prices are cheap! more

They were great I have had some bad experiences in the past getting my hair done but I have never had a problem with Aveda and the school was no different. This is a great place to get great work done for less. more

Ashley H was great!!! Will go back and recomend her to friends. more
