Great Aveda Salon Deals

The Aveda Institute opened in Portland in January on the corner of NW13th and Flanders. In addition to its great location you cannot beat the prices at this place. A haircut is only $13 and since it is a school they do not accept tips.

This is not your usual beauty school, not only do they deliever to the quality that one would expect given the Aveda name, but there are multiple instructors ready to help if needed and required to consult on every client.

If you do go there for a haircut. Let me reccommend Michelle, she gave me a great Reese Witherspoon style haircut that I absolutely adore. Additionally, she is a member of the first class to go through the school, so she is one of the more experienced students, which is evident given her attention to detail and skill with fine hair. If you cannot get in to see Michelle then ask to be placed with a senior or ask for the student with the seat closest to the windows near the street. Students stations are arranged by experience (year level) so the closer you are to the street the longer your student has been at the school.

Since it is a school, I experienced a long wait and even missed my eye brow wax appointment because my haircut went so far over, but given the money and quality it is a sacrifice I am happy to make. Plus it gives me an excuse to add a pedicure to my rescheduled appointment.

Perhaps best of all they accept and will cater to same day appointments.
