Editorial Review for Aveda Salon – by Marie Walker and Kendall Meade
The Scene
An amber glow definitely radiates from the West Broadway Aveda store and hair salon. Enlightened visitors can sip the custom blended "comforting tea" while reading "purefume" descriptions or sampling aromatics. Ecologically sound Aveda beauty products are developed exclusively from plant life. No animal-loving urban dweller should be without something from Aveda, as every toiletry can benefit from its customized personal blends.
The Services
Haircuts prices are dependent on whether you have an appointment with one of their new talents or an experienced master stylist. Whoever does your 'do, Aveda uses two types of plant-based hair dyes. The permanent hair color is 97 percent naturally derived and the semi-permanent is a whopping 99 percent. The "Shades of Enlightenment" will decorate your drab NYC locks with six shades of California blond.

Okay, I woke up and had a cup of tea and decided to phone the salon for cut and color with Kevin. The ever so polite Meghan answered. It's nice to know that the other person on the other end knows who they're talking to.. and that person was me. Okay, I asked if Kevin could fit me in the next day for highlights and she put me on hold and while the relaxing pre-recorded message talked to me about the new "pack another pair of jeans" campaign (I found it quite cute and chuckled). Okay, the hold was rather brief even though she had to run all the way up the stairs, I'm assuming since she sounded a little fatigued (poor thing), and found a way to fit me in. Now I have beautiful chesnut honey highlights and a graduated bob that fits my lifestyle (by the way, I love the guy that brings me the tea.. he gets my stamp of approval). I'de give Meghan 10 stars if I could because she is a little angel but since I can't it will have to be 5 stars then. Okay.

Upon hearing that this is the Corporate Aveda salon, I assumed that this salon would offer the upmost and professional service in the city. It is the complete opposite. The building is a bit run down and not as warm and inviting as a lot of other spa/salons with the same pricing. in fact, it looked like a cheap nail salon. I was greeted and welcomed upon my arrival but afterwards there was not the same relaxed atmosphere. It was a very cold environment. My service was rushed by the junior stylist and to top that I had to wait almost a half hour and not one person even warned me that the stylist was falling behind, they just sat me on the chair with a cup of tea. Then when I wanted a product, i found out that it was discontinued and the stylist did not even offer an alternative. I would never ever EVER have anyone come to this salon especially if they are looking for a calm environment!!
Pros: informative staff
Cons: only informative if they were willing to help you
