I have used Aveda hair products pretty constantly for 20 years. Once in a while, I have tried something else because I'm not able to get to the salon to stock up but always go back to Aveda. I don't even have to tell my stylist since 2007, Chloe Black, that I've been using something else, she knows the minute she puts her hands in my hair. My haircuts, color, highlights, low lights and service have consistently been outstanding and I look forward to my visits to relax after a day at work. I love my hair when she is done styling and strive to achieve how I look when I leave between my appointments. I have never had to go home and wash my hair or restyle after I leave. She knows I don't like a lot of product in my hair. One thing I've learned going to her is to look for a picture of the style I want. There have been times when I've wanted my hair to look a certain way but she advises against it because my hair is not the right type to achieve that style. Or, she will explain that I need to use more product and spend more time styling then she knows I like. Over the years, she has commented that for people who are unwilling to use Aveda products, their hair will never look or feel the way they want it to. In other words, you get out of it what you are willing to put into it. Be realistic, people. A stylist is not a magician and is not going to make you feel better about yourself if you are unhappy with yourself. The salon guest has to put forth some effort to achieve what they want for themselves. I have been extremely satisfied with my experience at the salon and particularly with Chloe!
