I got my hair cut today and I HATE the way it turned out. It was shorter than I asked for...making my already round face look even rounder. I feel like a snowman. I hate the ombre I got done...it looks like weird thin highlights and there is no apparent transition from my natural colour to the blonde. My head is 80% blonde. It's going to take me forever to grow it out to a level where it looks nice. She also gave me a blonde colour that does not suit my colouring at all and I look super washed out. I'm so frustrated because I never get my hair cut professionally because I can't afford it, but I made this appointment to treat myself since my life has been the worst lately. I spent almost $200 (which I wasn't expecting and can't afford) on hair that I hate and feel miserable in. I do have to say that the staff were all really nice and the salon was clean and beautiful. I felt very spoiled and happy until about half way into my haircut. Despite this, I hate how much I spent on hair that makes me feel even worse about myself than I already do so I will not be coming back to the salon.
Friendly and talented staff, competitive prices.
Bad and highly disappointing experience with $110 facial at the whyte ave location. The esthetician, Britney finished the 90 min facial in less than 45 mins and called it a day.. Rude staff and poor value for the money.. don’t go if you value your time & money!
Nice place good service
I've been coming here for years, and always happy with the service. Knowledgeable stylists, excellent healthy products.
The staff was very nice. I had a $35 off card that I tried to use, but was told I could not use it because I hadn't referred anyone to the store. The girl who cut my hair wasn't listening to my direction, and half way through the cut a girl came over and told her that the next client was here for her. So she stopped and asked me if I was happy, I told her no I need it shorter (which I had been saying the whole time) she seemed offended and said to me, "don't worry, I take criticism well." which sounded a lot more like, "grrr, I don't take criticism well at all." So she rushed through the rest of the cut. At the end I paid WAY too much, $45 plus $5 tip. And when I got home, I found that she left a very long peace directly on the top of my head, making me look a lot like Alfalfa. I don't think I'll be going back.
Friendly, skilled staff who never fail to give you the right cut and colour you are looking for. Love being able to order wine or champagne along with the services for a girls day of pampering.
This place is great!Vanessa is so sweet and talented:)The salon has very good and calm vibes
I will never any hair stylist except Tina. She is absolutely wonderful.
I am sure the Stylist's and Aesthetician's are Excellent at what they do, however this Business does NOT like to pay their Invoice's. They had called us to help fix their Internet connection, as they could NOT connect to their Salon Software. I performed 3.5hrs of Troubleshooting, however in the end found out their main System for Western Canada was down. I sent a Invoice (11 JULY 2013) for the diagnostic, and to this day has NOT been PAID! Be cautious when working for this Business...
I ???? Aveda
My hair type is curly 3B and I got streaking for the first time today done by Vanessa. Vanessa did an amazing job, she was knowledgeable about curly hair and different kinds of treatments. I was already afraid of bleaching my hair but I’m so happy for with the results and I couldn’t ask for anything better. She helped me out and I truly appreciate her! If you have curly hair go see Vanessa and see magic!
Been coming here for almost a decade, and I can't imagine letting anyone else do my hair. I've been short, long, black, blonde and every combination inbetween.
Had a Great experience! Sarah is awesome!!
Pam was fantastic , friendly and highly skilled
Their botanical hair and scalp treatment is fantastic. With friendly staff whom ensure your highest quality satisfaction, you receive a fun and cheerful but elegant experience.
Sarah is one of the very few people I trust with everything. She always gives 110% and the quality of her service is unmatched. You won't find a better esthetician anywhere. Sarah is THE BEST!!
Great prices and very friendly staff... great for all cultures.
I’ve never received such amazing service. I’ve always been hesitant to trust stylists, but at Aveda they listen to the client and I know I’m always in expert care here. My stylist Paige is a miracle worker.
Wow! First time here and definitely not the last. Loved my stylist Jolena. She listened to everything I wanted and provided accordingly. Excellent service and environment. I even learned some new tips as to how to easily style my own hair at home. love love love
like most Aveda places, expensive but they try to make it worth it....
Super nice staff and service. Emily is amazing!
Pam is amazing! She always exceeds my expectations and I trust her with whatever she does with my hair! Everyone at this salon is always friendly and professional! Very clean and tidy, you are in good hands with Avenue Salons!!!
Excellent service and great atmosphere! Quality and ethical beauty products available.
Go see Emily she's amazing. Great upbeat personality and good hair stylist.
I don't have anything bad to say about this place. Amazing products, cruelty free, clean facility, friendly faces. Very accommodating. Rufaro is amazing! She didn't pressure me into cutting my hair and acted in my best interest and didn't try to just take my money. She advised me to keep my natural roots and I'm super self conscious about my natural color but she helped me fall in love with it again. I'm so happy and impressed with the service I received. She is a genuine person who stands behind the company and clearly loves what she does. We shared lovely conversation and felt completely happy with everything. Thanks so much for today and I will 100% be back and recommend to friends.
Lana is fantastic and it was a relief to find a place where the quality of service lives up to the brand. A great place to get a men's cut with attentive and talented staff.
I've been coming here for 6 or 7 years now. I'm always happy when I leave. Kelsey does a great job!
Relaxing and excellent experience! I love my hair cut and their products. It was also very well priced. I will absolutely be returning and I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a professional and classy salon.
I really enjoyed my visit with Paige, her attention to detail and patience with the sheer amount of hair I have is boundless and my hair turned out looking very healthy, shiny, and soft despite lightening my virgin locks. Would totally visit again!
Paige (stylist) introduced me to the bar version of my favorite shampoo (Shampure), a new version of my favorite conditioner (Blonde Revival), and a free sample (Nutriplenish leave-in conditioner) that I haven't tried yet. Wonderful experience! More bar products and refillable containers for us waste- and plastic-reducing customers would be amazing - thanks!
5 stars for the hairstylists, they are super! But there is one front end staff who is always unfriendly and should learn more about customer service and professionalism.
Getting the haircut was wonderful, but the haircut itself is terrible. I have what can only be described as a female mullet. I had very long hair and asked for 2 1/2 inches off. They took 4 inches off of most of it, but for some inexplicable reason, decided that I needed 8 inches off in the front. So, half of my hair is chin length and the other half is a rat-tail that goes halfway down my back. It doesn't start at my chin and gently taper down to the length. I have been growing my hair out for 3+ years, and it will probably take another 2 to grow out this monstrosity.
Cara (@colouredbycara) is amazing and my hair turned out wonderful!
I keep having to repeat myself the way I don't want something cut, and she does it anyway. During last appt. was IMMEDIATELY after I said it, and Chop, chop, chop, the way I don't want it was done AGAIN. And I don't know why, cos it looks better longer than cutting it shorter than I want. I thought it so rude to immediately go against what was asked, and just do what she wanted. An experienced stylist shouldn't be not listening to clients like this. I did try another senior stylist but a poor rushed cut overall, so had to get it cut again in 2wks. Wasn't asked for any product in my hair after it was done, no hairspray, serum etc. I just wanted to go anyway. I like the prices, & other parts of the cut, but it's too much of a struggle between client and stylist. Ask permission and explain yourself before chopping off, especially after I just said not to. ( my appointment times were changed for two appts. When I called to confirm by 15min each, and was waiting 30min. For a late appt. so walked around Whyte & came back, the free service that was offered i never heard about after my appt. & I didn't bother to ask)
Beautiful well lit open salon with comfortable lounge chairs at the sink stations! Neck, shoulder, head massages also part of hair services. They serve alcohol as a treat while you are getting services and the prices are quite fair! They also offer lots of product for hair, make up, etc. Staff are delightful and so accommodating! Super chill vibe, I'm so happy to go.
Always a great experience there. Staff is really nice and I am always happy with my color/haircut. Special thanks to Vanessa
you would have to try a few stylists till you find the one which is right for you. They are all different with different techniques and abilities. don't turn back, if you don't like what they've done for you.
Awesome!! Book yourself in with Kelsey! You will not regret it!! 10/10 ????????????
A TRAINING hair salon. Charges are outrages for untrained stylists. Get your hair done by a professional elsewear and SAVE yourself the hastles. Paid over 150.00 to not have grey hair and walked out looking no different and my hair fried!
Consistently great, professional service. And my hair always looks & feels amazing ????
Went for wax. Great service, very clean.
I was a hair model for a Journeyperson stylists that was receiving extra training. The atmosphere of the salon as you walk in is a very open concept, I was greeted nicely and asked to fill out a form for covid, then asked to wash my hands at the sink which I thought was a good cleanliness standard. As I walked through the back to the side where my stylist was I enjoyed the amount of room in the facility, it wasn't too cramped which made it less likely to be in close contact with another person other than the stylist. I moved from Sask to Edmonton and most hair salons where I am from are crowded, this was a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed the experience and the head massage ????♀️.
Ask for Pamela! She is super talented and her rate is very affordable. Best hairdresser I've ever had.
I'm pretty new to the city and had been in search of a stylist, after leaving my last one of 20 plus years, I didn't think I'd find anyone to compare! So happy I was booked with Vanessa. She's amazing at cuts, color, blowouts, not to mention I feel 10 years younger when I walk out of there! Esthetic services are also top notch. Really like the Aveda products. No issues with my sensitive skin. I'd recommend ????
I love visiting Avenue Salons on Whyte Ave to get my cut and color. The front staff are always pleasant and welcoming when arriving for your appointment or when booking over the phone. Bridgette has done my hair since I started going to this salon, she is fantastic at what she does. She is very friendly and I always leave loving my hair after my appointments. Right now with Covid-19 protocols I feel safe still getting my hair done with the things they have put into place. Absolutely would recommend.
wonderful, comfy salon. very friendly staff !
I have brought my 3 daughters to the salon for multiple appointments with Ashlea and she has been amazing! She knows exactly what do even with a "guys" explanation ;) Front end staff is always very friendly and helpful. See you again girls.
Was very friendly and helpful. Well return .
This salon is amazing. They give the full neck and head massage complimentary and it really makes the experience satisfying. I trust them with my hair
Tye was an absolute gem. Friendly and professional. He did such a wonderful job with my new colour (dark copper) and a cut that takes full advantage of my curls.
I see Sarah Rose for bodywaxing...no one better! I drive 1/2 hr to see her. She’s fast she’s efficient and she’s awesome!
BIG ZER0 customer service Terrible service, few girls working there do not what they are doing. I went for my haircut After booking an appointment I had to wait for 35 min,other thing that I strictly said that I just want my hair trimmed but she took off 7 inches of my hair. Very disappointed will never go back. The lady manager is very rude she is seems to be janitor, unfortunately she is the manager. Don’t get fooled by the name of Aveda. Will recommend to go elsewhere!
Excellent service and very professional - I am consistently welcomed whenever I go in for my appointment. I have been going for many years and am quite happy with the results! Thank you!
Always a great experience. The front staff and all the stylists are really friendly.
Excellent service. The staff really value and are loyal to the brand. I have a fantastic cut consistently for my daughter and I and my hairdresser is gorgeous, so lovely!
Great salon!! Voted Edmonton’s top 100 salons for a reason!
Incredible experience every time I come here. I bring my kids as well and have always had the best service. The staff is very caring and it’s easy to tell they care about you and will do anything to make sure you are happy with your visit. Amazing staff!
Jenny was so friendly and accommodating. She helped this newbie figure out what she needed. With a lovely front end staff as well, I highly recommend this salon.
Sarah is the best wax tech I have ever had! She’s so easy to talk too and made me feel so comfortable. She’s the only person I trust to do my eyebrows because she does such a good job! Would highly recommend her for any waxing! :)
Super helpful! I had a lot of questions about different skin care and hair care issues. They gave me some samples and we extremely patient while explaining and answering all of my questions. Thank you! I will definitely return!!
Chloe did my hair today and it was beautiful! I got pretty much exactly what I wanted. The hand massage was very nice too. However for $200 it should include a trim, and getting your hair curled shouldn't cost $25 for the 10 minutes it took her.
Vanessa did a fantastic job on my hair!
Carlie is a great stylist and great to chat with. She always makes sure you love your hair before you leave! Highly recommend.
It’s been a week since I got my first Brazilian by Sarah and I could not be happier. With it being my first one, I was nervous but she instantly made me feel comfortable. She was professional and educated me through the entire process. I’ll definitely be back!
so unprofessional, I was appalled by the service I received by Ty.
Pam is fabulous!
Maria was awesome. It’s the first time in years that I’m satisfied with what I ask for. In the past, the colour, cut, and style was rarely what I’d ask. Maria is only 19 and so much better than most older stylists I’ve had in the past. You can clearly tell she likes what she does and she cares about making her clients happy. I’ll definitely be back.
Loving my hair cut from Avenue Salon ! Amazing service and great location !
The haircut itself was good... But the whole experience was spoiled by the receptionist. Very poor customer service.
Phoned for an appointment but the person I spoke to was so rushed and rude I ended up hanging up. I asked if she could look up the person who had cut my hair before. Asked for phone # after 3 seconds came back with nope sorry they had updated the system and all info had been lost. This I highly doubt as when conversation had started she didn't even asked who I wanted to book with. I'm very sorry I inconvenienced her with my request for $300 plus worth of business.
Denissa is an amazing hair stylist, she is honest and always has the best suggestions. She is an active listener which I find is very important in this industry. She is a great to talk to and gives great advice, almost so good I feel I should be paying her as my therapist as well. It's why I make the drive all the way from north side to the south side! All in all a great experience! Ask for Denissa!
First class stylists
I had such a great experience here! Jenny was my hairstylist, and a great one! She’s gentle, polite and knows how to cut the correct hair style. Scheduling an appointment with her for a wash and cut was also very easy. After showing her a few photos of what I wanted my hair to look like, Jenny did an incredible job explaining step by step what the experience was going to be like and what she was going to do with my hair. She delivered exactly what I wanted and I got many compliments about my hair afterwards. Love the vibe of the salon, the experience and Jenny!
The new owners are just ripping off people, they say some price on the phone to get you in and charge double, feelt like very dishonest and disrespectful customer service. DO NOT GO HERE BEWARE. YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF Will never go here Today 2018-08-15 I was talking to owner Mona but she was so rude to me from the start that nothing got resolved but we wasted our time and energy. I will be warning you guys do not go here. The new owner does not know how run the business.
I got my hair cut and hair color & I HATE the way it turned out. It was shorter than I asked for. .so upset! It seems that stylist Emilia doesn’t know what she’s doing. dye was all over my ears & face. Paid $200 ????????such a waste of money & time!
I had went here about 3 times and left unhappy and -220$ everytime. The last time was particularly the worst, where the stylist did the opposite of what I wanted and she knew I was unhappy when I left, and promised to fix it for free and the salon proceeded to not relay my messages to my stylist twice until I gave up and no longer go to this salon.
I have been going to Avenue Salon for 10 years and been seeing Pamela for over 2 years now. Pamela is absolutely amazing! She recently did my hair extensions and I have gotten so many compliments saying they look so natural and beautiful. She always does such an amazing job with my hair, I cannot recommend her enough. The other staff are also very friendly and I have always gotten amazing service from everyone at the salon! I would absolutely recommend Pamela if you are looking to get your hair cut/coloured (she does an amazing balayage) or looking for really good quality extensions.
Worst experience ever. I got nothing that I asked for because the stylist who was doing my hair apparently wanted to do her own thing. For instance, this is what I got after asking specifically (and multiple times) for the gray on my sides to be covered. She also informed me at the big reveal at the end that what she decided to do would look "more professional" when I specifically wanted something radically different. I sent an email expressing my disappointment I was called several days later and was offered a chance to come in and have their color specialist redo my hair. Not only did I not trust them anymore I did not want to get my hair over-processed. I was told that I would be called back in a few days to further discuss options and they didn't phone back when they said they would so I had to send in another email. When they finally did call, they only offered a gift certificate back to their salon! I didn't find this option reasonable or appropriate but was left in no doubt that they didn't care. Good luck those of you who plan on going to Aveda on Whyte avenue. I hope you do not get bilked out of $200+ dollars for a dye job that looks like you did it at home when you were drunk.
It was just overpriced for my Mom to pay so I had to
Renee is the best lash technician I have ever had. She is super patient with the lash process and makes you feel super comfortable in the chair. I have sensitive eyes and she helped me work through the taping process - which I never thought was possible. She also does an amazing job with waxing brows. Raefromavenue is her instagram handle and shows her exceptional portfolio. I also got my hair cut by Kelsey for my most recent hair appointment - post covid - and she delivered exactly what I wanted and was super pleasant to chat with.
My recent visit to the Aveda Academy totally met my (relatively high) expectations. The little Aveda extras, like the mint tea and hand massage (thank you, Evet!), made the visit that much more enjoyable. Jolena was my stylist and refreshed my long overdue colour with some much needed partial highlights. Jolena was excellent (in spite of my vague indecisiveness!), and she listened carefully to what I wanted done with my hair and took her time to achieve the desired results. Overall, I was very happy with the experience.
Great Service!
I was looking for a new salon and saw the reviews on this salon. So decided to give it a try. I am very happy I did, I had a phone consultation and they gave me a ballpark, it was in the range I figured and was willing to pay. The prices are comparable with other salons of this level, so either your willing to pay 250-300 for cut, bleach, and tone or your not . As for the service and stylist, exceptional, It was the first bleach that did not burn and make my scalp itch. Pamela was on board with the pics I had showed her and when I asked her opinion on things was honest and willing to give me what I wanted. I highly recommend to go see Pamela. It was a very easy, casual atmosphere to be in and all the stylists were very friendly and down to earth. A new client
Great service and atmosphere! Tye is fantastic!!
Rude receptionist. Client repellant. Acts nicer in the presence of other people, acerbic when alone.
Paige was my hairdresser, and she did a quick trim and some layers for my hair, as well as a scalp massage & shampoo with a hair mask. Great service!
My mother has blonde curly hair and made an appointment to get it styled for a wedding as a treat for her (she never gets it styled). I specifically asked for someone with experience with curly hair. The stylist kept saying her hair “was not working for her” and it took nearly two hours for it to be styled and it looked like a frizzy mess. Straight it the front and fuzzy in the back. Completely COATED in excessive product. She had my 15 year old sister re-do it afterwards and it honestly it looked better. She was very disappointed and felt as though she was blaming her hair. She was very distraught afterwards. It was a stressful, awkward and expensive experience for nothing. I will not return here.
Novy was so professional, great and friendly. I gave her the hairstyle that i want and she made better than what I want. Thank you for all the help and a very beautiful new look .
Great service and beautiful salon. Thank you Emilia for your great communication, for your recommendations of what would look good for my hair, and for being up front about pricing. Excellent experience and I love my hair!
I had given this place so many chances, but every time i did not get a cut with the senior stylist it was as described by others as a female mullet. I was so horrified for months until it grew out. ugh. My experience years ago at Aveda was good but in the last 3 years my hair has been so messed up with over bleaching (by them) and crazy brakeage and bad cuts I am such a mess. They have tried to smooth things over by offering a free consult or whatever but it always ends in me paying $200-$300 for another cut and color to correct what went wrong. Done. so Done here.
Amelia does an incredible job with my wife’s hair, blonde highlights, looks amazing every time!
Great staff! Sarah is amazing at waxing, she's very comfortable & efficient! All the stylists are very talented & kind. Great place!
Owner is terribly rude. I came in to buy some product and was shocked at how unbelievably rude and disrespectful the owner was to myself and to another young girl at the front desk. The other girls working in the salon are very friendly and helpful but because of the owner, I will not be returning.
So I book an appt a week ahead, rearrange my day, make sure that babies are taken care of, drive all the way to Whyte Ave and hear: oh, sorry, you don't have an appt today, can you come back Tuesday? No!! I can't come back on tuesday! That's why I called ahead to book an appt! Very disappointed. Make sure to call several times to confirm because obviously the receptionists can't do their job.
Great experience having my hair done by several stylists (Laurel, Brigette and Kelsey) at this location. Would highly recommend
Went to get a haircut and a big colour change today! Paige was my stylist and was awesome! Made me feel comfortable and the end result was exactly what I imagine!!
My wife got a complimentary test cut. The young girl did a pretty good job, even though it took a very long time.
If you want great hair, reserve an appt with Tina! This might be the place for me to confess that my hair gets daily compliments, (stop it already, I'm blushing!) and that everyone asks for Tina's name. She's great at everything, and a SUPERB colorist. Tina'll do precisely what you ask, if you use your words. ; ) Better yet, ask her for advice--that's what she's there for, folks! I tend to be impulsive with hair choices, and she's talked me off the edge a few times, knowing I really wouldn't be happy, didn't have the right shape of face, type of hair, etc. Thanks Tina! The entire staff will treat you with dignity and respect from the moment you walk in. Scalp massage with shampoo (ahhhh!), free hand massage with additional services (soooo good!) beverage choice (try the Aveda tea--yum!). The entire staff is well versed in product knowledge. While Tina has a stunningly accurate recall of my allergies, all staff can answer these questions! Also, there's metered parking just outside, or use the 3 floor Impark lot. After your appt don't forget to stock up on yr fave Lush products next door. Better yet, make a day of it with friends and shop on Whyte Ave, get yr shoe fix at at Gravity Pope, (or Fluevog's if you're really lucky!) have a terrific dinner at local eateries, then take in an indie film at the Princess or Garneau. The only downside? It IS expensive, people. Hmm...but worth kissing bad hair days goodbye forever?? I'll leave off the Fluevogs for good hair from Tina anyday. Enjoy, y'all!
Today was my first visit to Avenue Salons and I had requested a junior stylist when I was making my appointment. Jenny was amazing. I was so pleased with the service that I received. She was so attentive to my needs. I had low and high lights done plus a haircut. She exceeded my expectations. Thank you Jenny. I will be back foresure.
Hair products are well stocked at this location, staff is friendly but sometimes they do take a minute to come help you, once they do they are very knowledgeable and quick to help you select products or answer questions.
Very thorough and efficient waxing services with wonderful customer service. Nothing more you could ask for. 100% would return for services in the future.
We drove almost 4hrs to get my hair done for wedding, we were running late and called the salon that we are running late the receptionist said that we can only do hair cut but can’t do the color. It was very bad experience to start with. Now being long weekend I don’t know where should I go. Very Bad Customer Service.
I had the best experience at this salon about a week ago! When booking my appointment the individual on the phone was very informative of all covid-19 precautions while still doing a full consultation. The staff were great and accomidaiting as it was pouring rain when I arrived and had garbage bags to keep my jacket in. Senior stylist (Ashley ?!) at the salon was very friendly and professional. Our consultation went well and we agreed on working up to the blonde I eventually want. We went for a full head if highlights and she cut my hair as well. I've never had more compliments on my skin and eyes! Even with a mask on my face she knew exactly what to do! I look forward to returning and going even blonder!
I have been coming at Avenue Salon for a very long time. It started with using their salon side first (Hair color, cut, and styling) and then I have used them for Facial, Brazilian Wax and I have to say Sarah is the best for spa services. if you want best, painless (almost) and quick Brazilian wax in town, you should give a try here. Sarah is very professional, clean, quick, and makes sure that you are comfortable. I am very impressed with her work. Even for facial she suggested that I should get chemical peel which I was bit scared as I never got it done before now I think was the best decision ever. For facial ambiance wasn't very relaxing because you can hear the outside music but she did her best and played very calm and relaxing music. There prices are very good as well for facial and waxing given that it is natural products (Aveda).
I have been to this hair salon for the second time now and both times, Cara was the one who worked on my hair and she is AMAZING! Usually very picky about my hair, I always have a clear idea of what I want and she did exactly what I asked for (if not better)! She also gave me great advice on how to style my hair and hair products I could use. Plus, she is very friendly and kind which made my experience even better. I highly recommend her for your next haircut!
