    Review:
    The salon has a very nice interior and a welcoming atmosphere. The stylist (Jodi) had a very good understanding of curly hair and cut it just the way I needed it cut. She also knew how to dry my hair so it wouldn't frizz. That was the first visit I had at the salon. The next visit the stylist was also very nice but she had a little less understanding of curly hair but still cut it well, however my hair did frizz with her drying technique and the products she used. I will definitely go back again, especially for the price which is quite good but I will ask fro Jodi.

    Review:
    I have very thick hair with big curls that hasn't been cut in almost a year (due to a combination of growing it out, moving around a lot and being a poor university student). I read good reviews for this salon and they are very near to my university, so I tried it out and really loved the place! My stylist talked about how much she loves curly hair, how the academy had trained them to cut it totally different than straight cuts, and how straightening irons are way overused. She washed my hair to trim it, then rewashed and diffused it in order to cut it into a style that really works with my curls. It looks great, and this is the first time I've ever walked out of a salon with curled hair, instead of the stylist automatically drying and straightening it. Hurray! The staff were very friendly, and service includes free tea or coffee, a head massage and make-up application if you're interested. The cost for me was about $50, but you have the option of going to one of the academy students instead, which will cost about $10 less. I give Aveda Academy a high recommendation!
