Wonderful experience! I am visiting from out of town and chose Stephen James based on the Unilocal ratings. My appointment was with Pam, and she is lovely. She did a fantastic job with my cut and color, which is not an easy task because I have thick, partially curly hair. Loved the hand and scalp massage as part of the Aveda experience. I would definitely recommend this salon.

BAM!!! Five stars for a salon is something I’d never do, until Aveda rocked my world today. I mean like perfection — the service, the outcome, color, cut, ambience… Products used, just wow. This is the first time I’ve allowed another person to take a pair of scissors to my hair in literally 20 years besides a teeny tiny trim. I used to have dark, shiny, luscious thick dark hair that I got compliments on everywhere I went. Then I went to a neighboring salon and asked for Carmel ombré highlights and it became a longish cinged orangish hot mess and all uneven. I had been considering a short cut for about a year having little kids and being busy, but I didn’t trust anyone to cut it, and because my hair is very thick, it just looks weird. I could never get some Tswift or Jennifer Aniston looking piecey pretty bob. My stylist today at Stephen James Aveda changed that for me and gave me an awesome haircut! Never have I had compliments on my hair so much short as I have long. My husband is in love with it. She knew exactly what I was asking and I knew I could trust her when she fixed my bad ombré and it looked perfect. I wanted it a lot lighter than if turned out, but it’s so much better that I can’t complain. I highly recommend this place. I didn’t have to sit and tell my life story. I got to relax. The smell is amazing in there and its quiet and relaxing and sooo clean. The coffee was really good and everyone is so nice. They got me right in as a walk in too, no wait really. The stylist looked very young, not someone you’d picture as a seasoned experienced stylist, but wow, she proved me so wrong. Everyone was kind to my 7 month old baby who sat in his stroller the whole time. The shampoo bowl wasn’t soo dang uncomfortable that I would dread it either. This is my new salon for good now. I tried to get an appointment next door at La Marquise, but I wasn’t feeling the vibe there. They really weren’t happy to have my business like Aveda. I’m going to try and head over there again tomorrow to get the products she used… I really had no idea how awesome Aveda was until now. Anyone want a shower full of redken, It’s a 10, and Moroccan Oil products? Thanks Lindsay!

Hair!(hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair) Flow it, Show it; Long as God can grow it, My Hair! Okay, we all know, hair is wonderful in some places, but others? Not so much. So here it goes… discussing the delicate topic of my Brazilian for the whole world to read. I’m not sure what made me choose the Stephen James Aveda Spa for this glorious occasion, but I am so glad I did. The receptionist was so professional on the phone. I was feeling a bit meek when I called to ask if they offered this service, but somehow, she put me at ease. She confirmed that my appointment would be with Toni and my heart skipped a beat. «Toni?» I squeaked. «Um, er, uh, is he, er, uh, I mean, is Toni, a, um, man?» She laughed and assured me that Toni was female. I breathed a bit easier after that. When I arrived for my appointment I was ushered right into a private room in the back. Toni came in and introduced herself and told me what to expect. The whole time she was working she chatted away like we knew each other for ages. It turns out that she used to be a nurse in the maternity ward. For some reason, this put me even more at ease. In what seemed like just a few short minutes later, I was done! And I have to say, I was very please with the results. Smooth and silky with very little irritation. Toni is warm and professional, and very good at what she does.
