Whether you are visiting an Aveda Institute for a fresh new look or a relaxing spa day, you aren’t just getting a service, you’re embarking on a sensory journey. At Aveda Institute, the Aveda Experience is a signature approach designed to treat the whole person, not just their hair or skin.
If you’re curious about what happens behind our doors, here is a guide to what you can expect during your visit.
The Warm Welcome and Consultation
Your experience begins the moment you walk through the door. You’ll be greeted by our student stylists (supervised by licensed educators) and offered a cup of Aveda Comforting Tea. This caffeine-free, herbal blend of licorice root and peppermint is designed to help you transition from the hustle of the outside world into a state of relaxation.
Every service starts with a thorough consultation. We don’t just ask what you want; we look at your hair or skin type, your lifestyle, and your goals to ensure the results are tailored specifically to you.
Aveda Sensory Rituals
What sets an Aveda service apart from a standard salon visit is the complimentary Sensory Rituals. Depending on your service, you will experience one or more of the following:
Sensory Journey: You’ll be invited to experience different Aveda Essential Oil blends (Singular Notes) to discover which aroma your body is naturally drawn to today.
Stress-Relieving Neck and Shoulder Ritual: Before your haircut or color, enjoy a brief massage using your chosen aroma to release tension.
Stress-Relieving Hand Ritual: While your hair color processes or during your facial, your student professional will perform a moisturizing hand massage.
The Botanical Power of Products
During your service, we use Aveda’s high-performance, plant-based products. Whether it’s the Botanical Repair™system for strengthening hair or Nutriplenish™ for hydration, you’ll feel and smell the difference that 100% vegan, cruelty-free ingredients make.
We believe that what you put on your body should be as healthy as what you put in it. Our formulas leverage the power of Ayurveda and modern science to deliver professional results without harsh chemicals.
The Shampoo Ritual
In an Aveda salon, the shampoo is often the highlight. It’s not just a wash; it’s a moment of Zen. You’ll enjoy a scalp massage that stimulates circulation and promotes relaxation, often accompanied by a warm towel or an additional aromatic treatment.
Education and Home Care
At the Aveda Institute, we are a place of learning. As your service concludes, your student stylist will finish your look and, most importantly, teach you how to recreate it at home. You’ll receive a personalized recommendation of products so you can maintain that fresh-from-the-salon feeling until your next visit.
