I received THE BEST HAIR I HAVE EVER HAD from the wonderful Mia! She was so kind and considerate. She checked in the whole way through to make sure everything she did was okay. She asked for consent before taking pictures and videos. She truly understands how to do vivid colors and alternative hair! I got a peacock blue layery/scene haircut and she nailed it! My hair was so flat and lifeless before she chiseled it out with texture and layers! I feel so good right now! Getting your hair done at a salon is always such a gamble, I'm really happy with my experience and strongly recommend Mia! Pardon my no makeup face but I had to share a photo so you understand how great she did!

This was my first time coming to Aveda and I was greeted and checked in by front desk staff. I was brought back to Elin’s station within 5 minutes of waiting. All of the students were very sweet. I enjoyed hearing her coloring choices get approved by her educator. I didn’t feel like the process was rushed, the wait time was perfect for my color and haircut. We took a picture at the end and I loved the end result!

I have been a returning client at Aveda Institute In Minneapolis for the past 30 years. My friend used to go to school there and I would go and be one of her students to work on to gain her education and experience. I had many perms there over the years and now that I am older I come for color services. I enjoy knowing students are working on my hair, learning and improving their skills and I trust their instructors to have the knowledge and experience to teach them so I leave liking my hair and feeling good about my experience. I have had positive experiences over the years and knowing that if something goes wrong they are willing to fix it and make it better so I would want to return for future services.
