Editorial Review for Aveda Institute - Minneapolis – by Amy Weivoda

In Short
Young estheticians and stylists get training and real-life salon experience Tuesdays though Saturdays at this downtown location. Customers don't have to worry about getting funny haircuts--trainers are standing by to make sure everyone leaves happy and beautiful. The prices are affordable and patrons get the little luxuries (paraffin hand treatment, scalp massages) that make this place such an indulgence.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

---VERY busy, no personal care ---I received an awful haircut--she cut off 4 INCHES more than I asked --went darker on my color rather than lighter and refused to fix it. ---I spent 6 HOURS at the salon for a cut and color Even though it is less expensive than other places, it is definitely not worth it!

Pros: cheap

Cons: HORRIBLE service, takes a long time, bad hair cut and color, cranky stylists

3 Star Rating: Average

Know yourself before going to the Institute! Ask yourself the following questions: 1) Do I have a large chunk of time on my hands? 2) Could I sit in one place for several hours at a time? 3) Do I believe that "it's just hair and it will grow back"? If you answered "yes" to those questions, the Institute is a great way to save money on a haircut. But if you don't like unprofessional students stopping your service to walk over to another student to gossip and giggle, this is not the place for you.

Pros: Price - the only "pro"

Cons: Unprofessional behavior, cranky instructors
