I've been going here for years (and even worked here briefly a few years ago) and I've had some very good experiences here. Let me say at the outset that I never go here for cuts - only color, and only with more advanced students. That being said, it's an affordable way to get beautiful color, whether it's foiling, single process or bleach and tone. I have seen at least 15 different students over the years (and maybe more!) and have had great experiences with all but one of them. The students I've seen have been by and large extremely competent, knowledgeable, meticulous, and professional. I've gone to one other Aveda Institute once (in Atlanta) and was not so lucky! The unprofessional demeanor and incompetence of both the students and instructors there made me feel lucky to have such a great school accessible to me in Seattle. Gary leads the GMAI with a deft hand, and his commitment to excellence shows! The instructors at the Institute are excellent as well. It's a beautiful thing to be able to experience the same quality of service at this school as at the Gary Manuel Salon. Of course, these ARE students so they are far less experienced than professional hair stylists, which is why I would never get my hair cut here. But I have loads of layers in my hair and am super picky. If you want a simple cut or trim, you'll be in good hands. The facials are wonderful too!
Pros: Great services for an affordable price!
Cons: Lack of parking but hey, it's Capitol Hill

Love this place!!!! I've been going to this institute for over a year now. I've had several students cut my hair and I've never been disappointed. The price is soooo within my budget. I pay about $20 plus tip for a regular hair cut (includes a scalp massage, they wash your hair, cut and style with Aveda products). What more could a woman ask for...great service, great hair products, great atmosphere for a very reasonable price.
Pros: Service and Ambience
Cons: You have to pay to park if you can find parking
