Cindy Cho Aveda

Hard to find. Clean interior. The lady at the front was really pushy, but helpful (she told me about the ratings items had). She told me about promotions she was having. A good source of Aveda products in Ktown, but a little expensive! :]
Have not tried the salon services yet.

I came here once, because I am a fan of Aveda and their coloring service. I came here to get a little color in my hair (with Mario) and I have to say I was very satisfied with the out come. I think I timed it right because I came on a Thursday morning and I was the first client and only client in that morning. It was nice having all the attention
; -) I was just getting a full color, I wanted a nice reddish brown shade. When I was done the color came out a more purplish red, which is NOT what I wanted. SO. .. I just told him and he made some adjustments for me, he threw in a few highlights and then re-​colored it, which then turned my hair into the reddish brown color that we were aiming for. I want to mention that I was not charged for the additional work. Mario asked me after the first round of coloring if by chance I did a box color in between my previous AVEDA colorings and I confessed (guiltily) that I did. He told me that this is really important info for a colorist to know and it can affect the future AVEDA color. He also said that it was his fault for not asking me at the beginning. . and he also told me how awful box color treatments are for the hair. .. sheesh. I know, I know. but it’s so tempting at 5.00 a box !; — /​
Anyway, I walked out of there loving the color, having the whole salon to myself and not being charged anything extra. Mario gave me some coupons to use for the next time I was in their AVEDA salon, as well as some samples (something I love about AVEDA, they always give samples).
I agree with Joanna P. they do have regular specials. And when they first opened, I found a shampoo and conditioner of the Sap Moss line on their discount table, a line which AVEDA had discontinued for some time. So I was happy to be able to find it here at Cindy Cho’s AVEDA salon.

I can’t even begin to describe how bad my experience here was. I spent eight hours in a chair only to emerge with macaroni and cheese colored hair, and the stylist lied to me. He said, «oh, since I am not happy with the color, I will give you a deep discount, 40%.» I was very polite but when I got home I saw they had a 40% off special off of color treatments for that whole month. I was furious, and when I confronted him about it later he wouldn’t admit it. STAY AWAY

My husband and I both came to this salon on the same day. I didn’t know we were sharing a stylist! I came to have my colour done. I already had the formula that I always use, so I figured it was foolproof, right? Well our stylist, while very nice was NOT professional about it. He didn’t even time the colour processing! He just did my husbands hair while I was processing and then when it was done my hair was soo over processed. The color looked terrible and fake. Instead of a gorgeous red, I had burgundy. I will not be going back there.

I love this Aveda location, because of all the specials they have. There are other Aveda salons and places that sell Aveda products near Koreatown (City Center and Haas & Co. on Larchmont), but none of them constantly offer specials like Cindy Cho Aveda. (I posted the current specials under the «Quick Tip».)
The receptionist is very nice and helpful and always throws in a few samples for us to use.
