Reviews of Aveda Fredric’s Institute Indianapolis
Cameron Adams
I love this place! The price is great, I’ve got my hair done here 4 times with Delanie S and she’s amazing!! I’m excited for her to graduate but sad to see her go. She always does my color sooo well and even. I’ve gone to high end salons and paid hundreds before for something not even half as well done as what she does. Love it!!
Cara Campbell
I decided to visit the Aveda Fredric’s Institute in Carmel again. I had been down in February for a cut and the student did an excellent job. I am no longer coloring my hair and I wanted something different. It had been 31 years since I had gotten a perm and I thought this student would do a nice job. I showed her my ideas and she got it just right. Perms have come a long way in 30 years. Less odor, less frizz, and no burning.
Elta John
Wow! I LOVE the hair color partial highlights that Lindsey O. and Annie B. did for me. The students were so professional and thoughtful to my needs. They worked very hard at getting the color just right for high and low lights. The instructors are top notch and give full instruction on how to place the foils and the color needed. I also like that the client needs and wants come first. They always ask me what I want. Wonderful experience at 1/4 cost of regular salons. Thank you girls! Great job!
Kelley Manning
Claire has an amazing sense of his client's color and style needs. He did an absolute spot-on color match for a root touch-up. The attached photo is 3 days after the appointment and unedited. If it weren't for the fact that I was sitting in a chair within an Aveda Institute, I would think he's been in the biz for years and in his own salon. (Forgive the attached photo, one of my arms is in a sling 🙄)
Gabi Stigter
Going to a beauty school to have some thing done is going to be a roll of the dice. Some students are still learning and others are just excelling. I had a facial today by Ava and she did absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond with my experience. I am so happy with it and I highly recommend that other people go as well. Overall it’s really good pricing with welcoming people.
Jerri N Curless
I've been a client of Aveda since the 90's. Always my go to because of the friendly, knowledgeable students and outstanding instructors. After over 20 years of letting my hair grow older gracefully I decided on a drastic change by having my hair bleached and colored lavender. I started that change in November. I just finished with my latest appointment changing the color a bit lighter and I'm delighted. I've had massages, facials, eye brow service, and nails done. Pampering at Aveda Carmel is marvelous. I'm 71 and have steered many friends to Aveda and will continue!! Thank you to all who serve there. Thank you Maribel for my latest service. I'll be back Tuesday for nails and a facial! (if I've ever needed to bring up a slight issue it has always been promptly and cheerfully taken care of immediately, thank you Aveda Carmel, formerly Indianapolis)
Lydia Douglas
Such a cute place. The students are so kind and thoughtful! Even though it may take a little longer, it’s at a cheaper price than a regular salon. There are also a lot of people who know how to style textured hair, so don’t be shy to come by if you have textured hair!! Thanks, Trinity, for an awesome haircut! 🫶 …
Brianna Snyder
I am a cosmetology student at Aveda and I enjoy going here! I graduate in September and I do not regret coming to school here at all! The educators put a lot of effort into helping the students and are patient and understanding! They work so hard to help us please our guests and I appreciate them. The front desk staff is faced with so many challenges yet they are always so kind and helpful!
Maryssa Engstrom
I was honored to get a 60 minute facial with Lauryn and she was absolutely wonderful. She was full of joy, too my concerns very seriously, gave amazing recommendations and really valued my time. She graduates soon so y’all better go see her while you can
Lillypad
AMAZING SERVICE!! I’ve been coming here for years and every single student I’ve met has been exquisite and really knows what they’re doing! I swear I learn something new about my hair every time I go, and in the meantime I can have a lovely chat with my stylist. It’s quite a relaxing yet exciting experience, and I am eager to see my stylist again at my next visit!
Sally Hall
Sitting in the Aveda parking lot writing this review because everyone needs to know right now how great of an aesthetician Jessika Wilson is! I booked a 90-minute facial with her and it was honestly one of the best facials of my entire life. She is totally a natural for this industry. It was everything you could possibly want in a facial. I feel so relaxed and my skin feels and looks absolutely incredible! 10/10
Gina Ricci
I have been coming to Aveda for well over a year now for all of my hair needs. The front staff is beyond friendly & goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. Students are always lovely to work with as well as the instructors- you don’t even realize you’re at a school! It’s a total spa experience. Taniya is one of my favorite students & does impressive work on my curly hair. Her instructor Jessi is super helpful & always offers useful advice. I can’t recommend Aveda enough!!
Chloe Anabela
I cannot speak highly enough about Carissa! She did such a fabulous job on my haircut. She was incredibly personable and down to earth. I’ve been to three or four high end salons in Indy, and Carissa is one of the first stylists I really enjoyed talking to. She also really understood what I wanted for my haircut, and made sure all the dead ends were gone before proceeding. I got about four inches cut off the bottom of my hair, she made sure none of it was too short to put in a ponytail and actually listened when i told her i didn’t want any short layers.
I hope to be able to come back and see her for color soon, really appreciated her analysis of my hair condition and product recommendations.
I also got a facial from Cailey, who did a great job as well! I got a facial from another spa in the area recently, and they did not point out or address some problem areas that Cailey helped me with. Look forward to future spa and hair appointments here.
Julie Nahvi
This was my first visit to the Aveda Fredric’s Institute Indianapolis and everything was great. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. I had a manicure and pedicure done by Hannah L. She was very professional and friendly. She did a fantastic job on my nails and I look forward to returning and trying out some of the additional services she recommended.
Zeno Tutino
As a middle aged man asking for a short haircut I know I don’t request the type of service most commonly offered by the students at Aveda, yet Caroline did a great job together with her instructor in figuring out the cut that would best suit my hair, and then competently carried out the job. Speed and confidence may come with experience, but care for a job well done shows from the beginning. Very satisfied with the result.
Jennifer Tobian
Coming back to school at age 34 was not an easy adjustment. The staff at Aveda Institute have made it possible for me to thrive. I have had opportunities to participate in two professional photoshoots and have found a mentor through Aveda who has led me into a career I’m passionate about. They don’t just teach and leave you to fend for yourself, they also have a regular career fair (like every 2-3 months) where you can connect with dozens of salon owners at once, guaranteeing you’ll find a place that you fit in and love.
Attached are photos from the NAHA photoshoot sponsored by Aveda Institute. I could have NEVER produced this level of work without their guidance every step of the way.
Jill Ross
What an amazing experience! Just the right amount of pressure and those hot towels felt great! Madisyn was very professional, spoke softly and made sure I was always comfortable. Will definitely book with her again soon!
Averie Wensley
Roslyn did an outstanding job doing my all-over color!! She's always professional and sweet with whoever her guests may be. I love her positive attitude!! She slays my hair EVERYTIME!! I return too often because Roslyn’s THAT GOOD ❤️
Annie Hayes
Literally IN LOVE with my hair! I got 6 inches off and full highlight and I could not have been leaving Aveda with a bigger smile on my face! I’m so happy with my experience! Delaney Alexandra killed it! ❤️❤️❤️
Susan Hall
Lauren took extra care styling my hair with my specific needs in mind with great results.
The last few weeks Gabriel has styled my hair along with a free neck and back massage – so wonderful. He washes my hair thoroughly and does a great style. I’m usually in and out within 45 minutes. I still give a definite five stars for great service!
H. M.
I love this place so much! I would definitely recommend it to anyone willing to roll the dice and take a chance at a great/discounted hair appointment preformed by a student. I've been going here for a year now and I've always felt good about the work done.
Sarah Walsh
Roslyn went above & beyond for me. She was very welcoming and I felt extremely taken care of. I walked away loving my haircut and uplifted by her sweet spirit. If she wasn’t graduating, I’d be back for her monthly! 100/10 recommend visiting Roslyn!
Cynthia Hackett
Grayson my stylist is awesome. Glad she is moving on with her career but will miss her terribly.
Love the guidance she gets from Martha and Amanda are always so patient and helpful as well. Love Aveda!!
Nyree Wesseler
My back facial was incredible. Very relaxing, light touch massage. My skin feels great too and I look forward to having Riley give me more facials.
Suzan Davis
Experience...Approached whole exercise with caution…students after all. I felt daring, however and empowered by the big risk I was takingor thought I was taking—mostly because I did not know how I looked from the back.
I had become adept at grabbing the “hair boxes” at the pharmacy during my two-year Covid hibernation, doing an overall color. Sure, there were bumps in the road, like they would run out of one color, so I had to buy another that didn’t quite match. Don’t ask about the touch ups.
The journey: Laughs and more laughs. The stylist, Elizabeth Wagner is an old soul in a 20-year-old body who lifted my mental spirits throughout the delightful process which lasted five hours (the first time). Liz takes great pride in her work, but it was the journey that she made beyond fun, as I texted progress to nay-saying skeptics—family members and friends who, upon learning I was getting my hair colored frantically texted back, “Stay out of the hair department at Walgreens!”
Progress: The grey trail on my head (and cowlick swirl on the back of my head) morphed into warm darks with highlights. Without question, it is the best my head has looked in over a decade…maybe two.
Upon examining my “before” and after “photos” my older daughter sighed and admitted, “I’m sorry Mom, we should not have let you out of the house without a hat, but we thought you were a lost cause.”
Result: I have returned to Liz who has an astonishing memory and a penchant for fun. She took my picture, touched something on her phone to color my entire hair blue (only in the picture) and we sent to off to above mentioned family and friends who immediately either CALLED or send emoji’s that I later learned are someone gasping. (It was in honor of an Indianapolis Colts game.)
Aveda Fredric’s Institute has my respect for nurturing the development of a special light and delight in this world…Liz Wagner.

The past three visits to Aveda, I have had the pleasure of Jasmini being the student to do my hair. She always goes above and beyond my expectations and always makes sure I am confident and love my hair before leaving. Her complimentary hand messages and facials are so relaxing. She is the reason I keep coming back for more. Thank you so much Jasmini ! See you again soon :)
Raenna Gorgievski
My daughter Paulyna is in Esthetics School at Aveda. I had a facial done by her a couple of weeks ago and she was amazing. She has such a natural gentle touch. I would highly recommend her. I will be taking my daughter to her this next time! Happy New Year!!
Grave Cat
Gia was a doll! So sweet and did a beautiful job on my very long hair. The next time I book an Aveda salon visit I'm definitely going to ask for Gia! I've been going to Aveda school for years and I am always so very happy. They are wonderful and kind people. The instructors are just wonderful and kind and they treat you so nice here and like I said Gia was a doll today. But every student stylist I've had has been wonderful I have no complaints or problems in all the years I've been coming here. You can keep your high-end salons that rush you and take exorbitant amounts of money from you for services that are not near as good as aveda. Plus they treat you like an assembly line. This beautiful school has always been wonderful I will always keep coming here.

I had a retouch today with Stella Spector and she did a great job! I wanted the color to be a little darker and Stella and Sasha got together to mix the correct color for me. I love the way it turned out!
Allie Parker
My student, Rachel, blended some weird breakage I had. I left feeling more confident and my hair was replenished and voluminous! As long as you know it’ll be longer than an appointment elsewhere since they do educator checks, always go to Aveda.
Jessie Hughes
Lakecia was incredibly nurturing and made sure I was extremely comfortable and cared for. She anticipated any needs I might have and provided exceptional client service. She provided a warm, welcoming, and relaxing experience. Lakecia gave an amazing massage, as well. She truly has a gift for care!
Neelam Patel
My first time at an Aveda Institute. Jasmini Patel was my styler and she did an awesome job. I cant brag enough about her service and how she worked on my hair. I got full head highlights and a hair cut. Love my highlights. Been to salons before many time but has never been able to get the color i want. Jasmini had it right on point. Very happy with her service and the institue. Thank you!
Kate Devine
Caroline did a beautiful job with my color. The highlight was exactly the tone that I was hoping for. She was gentle, thoughtful, and really took her time. She was well supported by her educator, who checked in as needed to be sure all of her needs (and mine) were being met. Thank you Aveda Institute Carmel/Indy!
Maureen V
Marleni cut and colored my hair.
Lakecia took care of some waxing on my face. Both women did a terrific job! Both women were knowledgeable, kind and friendly. Will definitely come back!
Samira Ogayonne
Simply Amazing! Samira professionally colored, cut, and highlighted my hair today so that I feel like JLo. Her whit, personality, authenticity, and inward outward beauty was refreshing! Make sure you have the privilege of sitting in her chair !
Karen DuBois
Marleni did a fantastic job on my retouch. She was very detailed, friendly, caring, and dedicated to me as a customer.
Marleni, you will go as far as you want to in this line of work. You are very very talented!
The twin instructors make this place what it is today, a very successful business. Their knowledge is so valuable! Don’t want to forget about amazing Katie, even though she is in the classroom. I’m a dedicated customer since week 2 of opening at castleton mall! Thank you so much for providing me top notch services at a very affordable price!
Tarah De Staic
Tori did a wonderful job with my hair. She’s a lovely stylist, very professional and ensures I leave the salon completely happy with her work!
Merline Maxi
Got a Brazilian and underarm wax by Sarah H. And Bailey. Both did a great job! I'm heavily considering a waxing membership and may even splurge for a facial one too! I will call out that when I made my appointment I forgot to factor that these are students in training - not licensed professionals, and should have allotted for more time in my schedule (I tried to go on my break between meetings as I work from home).
Melissa Lynch
Brakayla and Lakecia were professional, accommodating, and sweet throughout my waxing services today. For $40 a month, you can receive unlimited waxing services! It’s one of my favorite deals that Aveda offers!
Andrea Gilman

vern hawn
My 13 year old daughter had long hair down to her lower back. She was ready for something different. She picked a very short asymmetrical style. The stylist and trainer worked very hard to get the style exactly what my daughter wanted. They also did a treatment on her hair to help remove the chlorine in her hair. She looks like she had her hair done by a very experienced stylist from a high end salon. This Aveda school has a professional atmosphere with hardworking and passionate students. Thank you for making my daughter's summer.
victoria severyn
Stella Spector gave me a great partial highlight! I love how it turned out and I had a wonderful experience.
Matthew White
Students and instructors are friendly, courteous, and professional. I've received facials under two different students (Kayla - since graduated) and Kelly and both have been excellent, which is a testament to their abilities and the talents of the instructors. The subscription price ($30 for two monthly 60-minute facial sessions) can't be beat. Highly recommend.

I went in with an idea of what I wanted, Carolina (the student) and Abby (the instructor) really helped me settle down on what would be best and what they thought would look best and the results were just phenomenal!

Aveda Fredric’s institute in Indianapolis is so much fun! I would definitely recommend coming to school here! My favorite thing so far is mud makeup class with my favorite teacher Megan!! I graduate in September and being here has been very busy and stressful but all the educators have made it much easier!
Chloe Tyndall
Beautiful service! Staff was very polite and Ava Stokes did a wonderful facial, definitely worth going to!

Loved the students and teachers! Everyone I talked to was very sweet! loved the products and the attitudes!
Kristin E
I went on two different days to get a haircut and then a facial. The haircut wasn't the pampering experience I remember from my last visit several years ago. My hair was not washed very thoroughly and the cut was so-so... though I know that's the chance you take having a student cut your hair.
The next day I went back for a facial and it was AMAZING! I will definitely be returning for the spa services.
Llama Lady
The haircut was very good. The only thing that was disappointing was what in the past I have described to people as "the blue room of tranquility" where the shampooing happens. I have not been here for a while but the last time I was here the shampoo room had been a no talking, no cell phone zone with soft music, and aroma therapy. It was so relaxing and what I had been looking forward to. This visit, instead of peaceful quiet I instead had my shampoo in what felt like a locker room. Everyone was talking and the sound echoed making it even louder.
Again, I am very happy with my haircut and for $18 it's fantastic and I will definitely be going back. I was simply expecting a different experience.
Karen McInerny
Jacob was terrific. He did a retouch, wash, and style. He is very professional.
Erin Brock
I have always loved going here for haircuts and basic haircare. The prices are great but their hours really are not practical for people that work Monday-Friday. It makes it so difficult so schedule anything and they are not open very late. I would go here more often if they were open later or on Saturday/Sunday.
Emily Wilhite
Cy did a great job with my haircut! She was kind and professional too!
Whitney Seidman
Loved the hot stones. You know it’s a good massage if you almost fall asleep!

Everyone is always so caring. I really enjoy getting facials every 2 weeks

SHAMEKA WILSON
I had an amazing massage with Brooke. This was my second time. Very relaxing!
Amber Brocken
Excellent experience! Lauren took her time listening thoroughly. She was very pleasant and asked questions throughout. I like how an educator comes over and assists/guides them. I forget his name but he was great with her! Absolutely recommend and will be back!
Rachel Perez
A month ago I went short for the first time. I went to a lady who said she'd been cutting hair for 25 years. Well, my 4 year old daughter could cut hair better than her! It was very choppy and boxy. My hair looked like a literal staircase!
I came to Aveda and they agreed with how bad it was. A nice girl named Jess took her time with me, asked many questions to understand exactly what I wanted. She was great, she brought her instructor over as well which she helped also! And my hair is 100xs better than it was when I walked in there! They did an absolute amazing job! MY hair looks beautiful 😍 you would have never guessed it was bad before. This was a game changer for me. I will always go back to Aveda!
Christina Murray
She did wonderful!!! Brushes masks and technician did feat!!! Tete was awesome!!!
Marsha White (Staff)
Facial was performed very professionally & gracefully. It exceeded my expectations!
Very excellent!
carafranke
A little over 7 years ago, I was traveling for work and by chance scheduled an appointment to come in to Aveda Fredrics. I had spent my entire life wanting to have red hair but had been too nervous to pull the trigger on it. I did what I’m sure was a horrible job explaining what I wanted and was very nervous about the results. Your stylists absolutely nailed it and gave me exactly what I was looking for. I was so thrilled and beyond impressed with your staff. As I travel frequently for work, I rarely can visit the same salon twice. Other salons had trouble matching my Aveda Fredrics results, so I asked if it was possible to get the formula. One of your staff who answered the phone was incredibly kind and said it would be fine to send me the formula used. I have spent 7 years using that formula and always loved my that felt magical to me. People always tell me they love my color and I’m grateful for my experience at your institute.
Thanks again for the great work of 7 years ago! It really made a difference for me!

Love this place! The atmosphere is just 🔥!!! Love watching young stylists at work! It takes 2 hours to get haircut. I’ve had some really cool cuts and some just ok. All depends on a student. …
Margaret Johnson
Had a very nice experience today! Student was very knowledgeable and confident! She will do great things 💕 …
Danna Matsko
My facial was professionally done and very relaxing. I will and have recommend the Institute to my friends.
Meredith Jones
The place to go for a hair cut if you don't want to spend a lot of money and have plenty of free time. I have been going here for many years. The value can't be beat, BUT that's because you are helping the students learn so appointments can take a VERY long time. Take a book and a snack if you are getting anything more than a basic trim. I've had color take 6 hours before. The time it takes is a roll of the dice as to how far along the stylist you get is in their training and how long they have to wait for instructor consultations. My step-daughter recently had a trim take 4 hours. We still can't figure out how that is possible. The mini facial in the blue room is awesome and I love that they don't accept tips. The time thing is major though. Seriously don't go if you have somewhere to be in the next four to six hours. The price is right, but it's a commitment.
Susan Clark
Thank you so much for yet another amazing experience at Aveda!
Diane responded personally to an email I sent regarding my last visit and she provided valuable feedback and even met me at the salon the day of my appointment. I was surprised but truly touched by her kindness and professionalism.
My student spent an extraordinary amount of time asking about my preferences and then proposing some various style solutions. She pampered my with a lovely spa experience in the Blue Room (my personal favorite!). She took extra time to help me with styling tips as well as with choosing specific products to use. I always love the rich color I receive from Aveda products and the herbal infusions leave me feeling refreshed and relaxed. The instructors took the time to give my student feedback and listen to my thoughts, too. My cut was exactly as I hoped and I left my appointment feeling wonderful!
I have been a client for a year now and I will keep coming back (and telling all my friends!). Thank you.
Clara Simeone
Sneeze was and is amazing.She is a 10 plus.Hair isamazing.Went above and beyond
Judy Ent
Mystya White did a wonderful job again on my eyebrows they are perfect again !!!
Lisa Crandall
Had my hair styled for family photos, basically told my stylist to do whatever she wanted. Regan didn't rush, she was knowledgeable and friendly, she invited other stylists over to help do fun stuff like braids. Great experience worth twice the price. I'll definitely be going back.
isabel fitzgerald
Briana did an amazing job made it very relaxing and was very attentive!!
Mary Ellen Handley
I have been going to Aveda for years and Stephanie knocked it out of the park this last Friday! I went for a color touch up and cut. She listened to what I wanted and made notes of my thoughts of previous visits. She gave me her full attention during my appointment and made sure that I was pleased with all aspects. She clearly enjoyed cutting hair and that made my experience even better!
Al McKeller
Everything was great couldn’t ask for a better First Time thank you Guys so much 💪🏾 …
Rachel & James
Morgan A. did such an amazing job!! I’ll definitely be coming back here at least once a month!
Shannon Hodge
Brooke S.did a fantastic job! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!
Erin Canning
This is my second time here and both visits have been great. The staff are kind and listen to my preferences for my hair. Salon is clean and I love that they have a calm and peaceful room with stars on the ceiling in the room where they wash your hair and give you a mini facial. This time I actually decided I wanted a bit more off my cut after they did the initial amount and they were happy to help with that. I’d recommend to anyone.
Megan C
Great experience with Kathia! Love Aveda and the products
Kelli Anteau
The facial I had was truly relaxing! The prices are excellent!! Would recommend to all friends and family!

Cindy Dungan
I'm very impressed with the quality of training that the students receive studying at Aveda! They are very personal and Attentive. The mini massage and facial are absolutely wonderful. I had such a wonderful experience the first time I was here that I came back for the second time yesterday! I've never had such a wonderful experience for such a reasonable price! Thank you! Thank you Chloe Love!!
Mollie Morrison
This was my first experience here, and I will definitely be back! Sofie cut my hair, and she was wonderful. The chair massage and mini facial almost put me to sleep, and Sofie did a great job of reassuring me during my time there. Next time, I'm bringing my mom!
I will agree with other reviewers in that, this is not an in and out haircut. They like to treat their customers, and they also have instructors review your hair at every step of the appointment. This did not bother me because I knew to expect it going in.
AK Monke
Second time seeing Lindsey - amazing job!
Charlotte The mystery
Lauren did a great job on my highlights.
Adeline Dible
I made an appointment but they still took 20 minutes to get me in. I assumed it was just because it was a Friday afternoon. It took 2 hours for a hair cut, which is okay because I understand that they are students learning to cut hair. They are closely supervised by their teachers. The girl who did my hair did a wonderful job. I loved the mini facial that was included in the haircut. It was very relaxing. I would highly recommend and would definitely go back.
MEJ E
Love the care and artistic touch from Josie!
Shalei Benjamin
I’ve been getting hair cuts from them for almost 3 years. The students are professional and friendly and the instructors are always there to check the work. Also, the mini facial and head massage are amazing. It almost makes me want to fall asleep when they give me one. I’ve never been disappointed. Plus, $17 for a haircut is a great price.
Marsha Reynolds
I always receive excellent service and I leave with a beautiful style and great care by both the stylist and instructor to ensure this. The staff who greet, make appointments and accept payment are all so kind and friendly. I love the professionalism felt throughout and I love the Aveda products!!
Jane Burger
Sam was great. I loved my experience.
Erin Moorhous
I had such a great experience with Addi. I came in with no pictures and she executed my color perfectly!
Michelle Toles
Izzy did an amazing job cutting my daughter’s hair and connecting with her.
Cristy Heisey
Kaitlynn was my stylist and my hair turned out just Gorgeous! The educators were great at explain anything she needed help with and were very hands on! Great highlights and cut. Definitely will be back!
Charissa Seitz
I've gone to Aveda Fredrics Institute for the past 6 years to get my hair done and have LOVED it!! I usually get a haircut and partial foil highlights and the students always do a wonderful job! They are professional and ask questions to uncover my needs. I always leave Aveda feeling pampered and refreshed. My favorite part of the experience is where they take you back to the blue room and wash/condition your hair and do a mini-facial. It's SO relaxing! The price is also unbelievable ($50/60 for a cut/highlights).
The only downside to Aveda Fredric's Institute is the time it takes to get my hair done. Usually when I go in for highlights and a cut it takes 3-4 hrs. Other than it taking a long time, I have nothing else negative to say about this place. Check it out for yourself! I've got a feeling if you do, you just might want to come back again. :)
Othello
I got my hair cut there, and then colored.
Had two people that cut my hair because when I went back to get it colored,
I asked them to fix it a little.
The first hair cutter was tentative with each snip, which I guess is to be expected.
The second hair cutter was older and more confident, but in both cases,
the cut wasn't great. It was okay...not terrible.
Then the older lady who colored my hair massaged the color into my scalp,
which I think you're not supposed to do. This made my scalp burn.
I also got my eyebrows waxed, by another young girl (teenager).
Several stray hairs were missed. I do a better job myself, so
there's not much point paying them to have it done.
Same could be said of hair coloring as well. It's easy to color my own
hair and it costs $3. I just paid $2.99 for Revlon hair color at Kroger.
I know Aveda is way cheaper than other salons, but
$2.99 is way cheaper than Aveda, and you'll do just as good a job.
nikki niks
I've been coming here for about 2 years now and I very rarely every have a problem. My hair always turns out great and the mini facial is so relaxing. Some of the students might take longer than others but it's understandable there still learning and most of them might need to ask a question or two. Either way I love coming here and won't go anywhere else for my hair.
Haley Hurst
Rayana was incredible! I will definitely be back!
Kim McNair Lawless
I wanted to make sure to give you feedback on my service from Tara today (Katie, the instructor, is always awesome :) and I am always treated well by the entire Aveda team.
I've been in this industry a long time, and as I am a regular at the Aveda Institute, and have had many great services and experiences through the years, yesterday's was at the top of my list.
First: LOVE my hair. Tara, besides obviously being talented, also has those behaviors, we're all looking for. I think she will be a great contributor in our Industry and any employer would be honored to have her on their team.
Ann Guzman
First time going today and let me just tell you that you have to go here!! I have super long hair and when I walked in my stylist Kylee was just as excited as I was to get a haircut!! She was super friendly! Made sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. Going through step by step with her two instructors which I believe their names were Jessica and Eric who were also super friendly!!
Kylee killed it with my haircut! Did an amazing, fantastic job! The mini facial and getting my head massaged and washed was a plus!! I will definitely be returning here!!
Beth Hillan-Bearsch
My service provider, Hunter was very knowledgable & patient. She provided several options on types of cuts that would be most appropriate for me & I am thrilled with the cut I received.
Also, she sought help from her instructor when appropriate.
The facial & massage were an added bonus. Beautiful experience!
Isabella Madrazo
Being a student here has been one of the best experiences for me. I’ve made a lot of friends here and everyone is super nice
Caden Rust
Loved this school. My hair was done exceptionally well.
Ally Evans
This week I went in for a haircut and the student, Kaitlyn K, did an AMAZING job. I left the salon feeling so confident and for $18 I was shocked at how affordable it was. I highly recommend!!
Dawn Anderson
Great cut, explanation of products and treatments, love new autumn style
Kori Wright
I was skeptical about this place at first since it’s a school, but WOW. My stylist was Tayler and she was absolutely amazing and did an awesome job. Last year i had tried going blonde, didn’t like it & tried to dye it back myself, and it didn’t work out (basically my hair was a mess. I went to aveda to get it back to my natural color (black), and it looks amazing! i was there for about 2-3 hours, so if you have a lot of time on your hands, i would definitely recommend! for only $47 (all over color) that’s a really good price.
Jing Guo
The massage was so relaxing Jenna was amazing!!!
Daniel Houston
My stylist did a very good job.
Lori Hodges
Alex was so pleasant, kind, and did a great job!
Squeaks Deviant
Went in to get a Betty Bang and had a wonderful experience! It was my first time in, and I was completely blown away by the entire staff. They were open, knowledgeable, courteous, and nice. I received a fantastic cut, and left feeling like a million bucks. It was far beyond every experience I've had from a student level cosmetology program. My only negative experience was that I was told I was not allowed to leave a tip.
Karynn Adamowicz
Leanne treated me to a fantastic facial! I appreciate her confident hands!
Jessie Thompson
Great conversation with many students! Thanks
Elizabeth Strong
We’ve been working on makeup and Maycee Johnson is a natural!
Sharon Knight
Wonderful experience. I could tell my stylist was just getting started with “live” people and she was slow, but very meticulous. I enjoyed the whole range of services from the mini facil to the blow dry.
Wilhelm Degener
The students listen to what the client is asking for and the teachers are very involved to make sure every experience is a great one!!
Chrissy Litmer
The BEST facial I have ever had. Hands down amazing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
egdoster
Thank you team Jenn and Shonda! Fabulous
Diane Pike
Great job! Very relaxing and rejuvenating at the same time!
Brenda Chance
The gal hurt when massaging. I don't think she had a clue about cutting hair, because she only blow dried my hair. The instructor guy cut my hair while telling her what he was doing and why. She spent more time smiling and talking to other people and looking around the room. No attention to details. Nice gal otherwise.
Angela Hoffman
Dionne is well on her way to a wonderful career! She is a natural!!!
Samantha Cook
I had a great first experience at Aveda! The process took a long time, but if you are patient then it's worth the wait. The massage and facial that came with the already reasonable haircut cost was a huge perk!
Suzanna Ames-Kendall
She did a great job! Super friendly and sweet
Cynthia Morales
I went to the Aveda Salon to fix a balayage that had gone wrong at another Aveda Salon. I had virgin hair before the first mistake so when I came to Aveda Fredric's I was already stressed out at the thought of reprocessing my hair especially when I had to bleach it once. The trip did have downside, it took a bit longer than anticipated and I actually had to leave mid process, and return to finish the next day -- So give yourself extra time for whatever you plan like 2 hours extra for color However I am giving them a 5 star rating, because they were so sweet and kind, and my girl Alayna was amazing. She had so much personality and creativity, she captured my EXACT expectations, she was so passionate about doing hair and getting my hair perfect I literally cried when I got home and really got to inspect it myself. Aside from the time, I give her and the instructor that she worked with A+++ for Attitude, Creativity, and Experience, not too mention price. I have gotten compliments on my hair EVERY SINGLE DAY, and as far as damage from processing, I swear it looks healthier than when I left the first salon. I would recommend this girl (Alayna ) a million times again and again. She is a hair artist!
Jake Shinovich
ruthie was good i liked it thank you ruthie best ive ever had
Karen Angellotti
I look forward to my Aveyda services for several reasons. One is that I always get to learn something. I have had many trim or highlite, but because the student and I are new to each other, we review hair styling from her perspective(s), and there is always something that she sees uniquely and passes on to me.
None of us have the range of shoulder motion to compare with an attendant cosmetologist but these students speak to that in their guidance to me. Each one has had extra patience and care in their touch. Aveyda has either quickly enhanced or recognized their deft styling skills from their beginnings.
Sophie Hand
Carly gave me the best facial I’ve ever had!
eva lyford
When I moved to town I first looked for another Aveda salon similar to where I used to go in my old town. But I found the Aveda institute and decided to give it a try. I've been going there for 3 years now and have not yet had a bad experience. They are easy to work with and the instructors are very hands-on, present and accountable for the quality of their student's work. The students do take a bit longer than a professional hairdresser would, but the complimentary services (e.g. shoulder massage, facial, aromatherapy) more than compensate. Tips are not accepted but the counter does provide a collection area to contribute for scholarships.
Kyra Davis
I love going to the Aveda Fredric's Institute for my hair care! I'm usually pretty indecisive about my hair, and leave it up to the stylist to recommend something. I have NEVER been disappointed in my service and, in fact, have often been beyond pleased with the results! The best part is the facial!!! I always feel so pampered when I am there!! I will continue to recommend Aveda Fredric's Institute to all my friends and family.
Delanie Strode
I’m a cos student here and I couldn’t have chosen a better school for my education :)
Marilyn Chase
Awesome experience. Thank you, Jacqueline!
Dan Hall
As a male, this place is a 50-50. It seems that males who want stylish hair leave with a 'safe' haircut that I could have went to great clips for. Most students seem to border along the lines of obnoxious. When bored they tend to make a lot of noise and gather- talking about their annoying customers of the day. Nothing is more uncomfortable than hearing the disdain they feel about customers while under the scissors of another student...
On a lighter note- I've met some fantastic stylists who seem to really take pride in their work and education. Notably, I have a stylist who now works at Salon 01 that I go to on a regular basis.
I still go to Aveda from time to time when money is tight, in hopes that I find another stylist who cares as much about my hair as I do. Many students there are phenomenal while many others aren't nearly as comfortable with male styles.
Meh, 5/10. Will probably still go to Aveda.
Poole Family
They do a great job. Should an experience be less than expected, the staff go to great lengths to make it right. My hair looks terrific at a reasonable price.
Christy Wessel Powell
Detailed and expert attention from instructor during the cut, which the student did thoughtfully and carefully after listening well. Very well done. And only $17 including a shoulder massage and mini facial, you can't beat that! I'll be going here every time from now on.
Chelsea Premeau
The Aveda Institute holds themselves to the highest of standards. They are professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. The atmosphere is calming and I always feel great upon leaving. The students always do a great job cutting my hair, and their instructors always approve and check on their work -- I am NEVER concerned about getting a bad haircut just because it's a school. The Fredric's Institute is by far my favorite Aveda Institute I have been to, I recommend it to everyone!
Amy D
I have been going to Aveda for many years. I get my hair cut and colored. I enjoy the experience every time. Where else can you get a perfect cut/color, have a facial, enjoy your stylist and the atmosphere. I always look forward to my appointment.
Wilhelm Degener
Amazing experience every time! The facials are amazing! I would recommend to everyone
Smidget k
I've been here 3 times. Waxing didn't go how it should, but the Hair Stylists... AWESOME!... Malia treated me & my colored hair wonderfully! Go in & see Malia!💜 …
mike tooker
Awesome service as always! They are always so nice and patient! Delanie was awesome!!
Alissa Parker
This was my 2nd facial and my 2nd visit to Aveda - first one in January by Marisol and the 2nd one in February by another girl. I enjoyed the facial very much.
The first facial, I felt was done better by Marisol. I brought my friend with me for this 2nd facial since I had such a great experience the first time.
This experience, we both about froze. The room was super cold. I wasn't covered up immediately with a blanket as she started the facial and then went to my feet - once she worked on my feet then she covered me with a blanket, it was freezing!!! I suggest heated blankets or heated bed to lay on. I wasn't disappointed, the facial was so relaxing but I did think my previous appointment was a better experience. I do realize that not everyone does the exact same things when giving a facial and they have their own way of doing them.
I plan to book another facial in a few weeks with another friend. I will continue to come back!
Rachel Hudson
Madalyn was great! So thorough and kind!
Sherri Martin
Lauren C did a great job!!
Patti Lacey
Truly an experience you can't pass up. Only $17 for total spa experience and haircut. The stylists are in training but are supervised throughout the entire time. I've had highlights done here too. They have all types of product for sale.
Mary Lou Curless
Wonderful facial. The facial was so professional and relaxing.
Jenny Casburn

I did just go in for a trim, but I was happily surprised by the extras Aveda provides complimentary with a hair cut appointment! My stylist was so sweet and the blue room...amazing.
Theresa Jackson
I love going to Aveda for my hair cut. I always have positive experiences and treat myself with an appointment regularly. I highly recommend checking it out.
demonick tats
Livvy and Cody and everyone there whos names i didn't catch did such a fantastic job of creating a welcoming atmoshere. The instructors are knowledgable and are great at promoting a true drive for the art. And the establishment as a whole is clean, tasteful, and i would pay just to take a nap in the star room!
Jazmine Lindsay
Recently went here for a tour and the school was very well maintained and all the people I spoke to were extremely helpful and polite! The ONLY thing I had a problem with (wanting to be a future student) was that they didn't offer part time or evening classes! Overall extremely pleasant experience!
Rachel Herbig
Student Stylist and Educator:
Professional, Listened to my request, offered valuable recommendations and that I honored, state of the art techniques.

Great experience and priced very reasonably. Granted students are in training but an instructor is always close at hand and monitors entire haircut.
jeanie hedlund
BETTER THAN I WAS HOPING FOR. LOVE MY CUT, DID NOT HAVE TIME TO ENJOY THE MINI FACIAL LOOKING FORWARD TO IT NEXT TIME. YES I AM RETURNING. MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO MANY PEOPLE WALKED BEHIND MY GIRL WHILE SHE WAS CUTTING MY HAIR AND THIS INTERRUPTED HER AND MADE ME WORRY IF SHE WOULD CUT IT CORRECTLY.
Jill Pattee
Great job, Dionne G!
C Margolis
The only negative is that it is sow. Usually , I just get a haircut. Getting my hair colored there took twice what I am used to- although, it looked good!

Beth Medley
Olivia did a great job and worked great with her instructor Ali. Ali was awesome and so positive and helpful! I would see Olivia again! (The appointment did take a little over two hours for a haircut, but this was due to the instructors being spread thin across all of the students. One instructor, not Ali, was really no help at all to Olivia when she came over, gave her no instruction, just told her to keep going when she needed some instruction on the next step to help her confidence. That was disappointing for sure, but when Ali was available, she was great!)
Candy Riggins
Had a great experience!

Taylor did a great job with my stylish fade and she has is become very comfortable with her scissors and clippers in hand. Just think what she could do if I let her do color to take care of my gray 8>)
