Anthony Vince Aveda Salon & Spa

I called for an appointment here, and requested to get someone who was good with wavy hair. The person on the phone said something like, «all our stylists are good with wavy hair!» Ha!
I came in, and it was nice like all Aveda salons are, but it was really empty. There were just a couple of people working, and they were gossiping brutally about another employee that wasn’t there. Way unprofessional, and really put me off.
Finally, the haircut. I have the kind of hair that curls more the shorter you cut it, so layers tend to look more pronounced when my hair is dry then they did when it was wet. Well, she layered the heck out of my hair, and when she dried it… Well, she didn’t see anything wrong with it, but it was pretty bad. The whole top part of my hair was working a pretty decent haircut, but there was this 1-​inch or so fringe hanging out from underneath all the way across the back. My hair already looked slightly like a mushroom, and in 2 weeks it would grow into a textbook mullet. Sooo not what I wanted.
I convinced her to cut the bottom layer up to match the rest of the hair, so it wouldn’t grow out so hideous, but that of course threw off the proportion of the rest of the haircut, and left it shorter than I had asked for.
Overall, if you have at all tricky-​to-​cut hair, count on the salon to assign you to anyone with a free spot, whether they can actually manage your hair or not.
