Aveda Institute Fort Myers - Fort Myers, Florida

A todos los que desean obtener una licensia y estudiar aqui. Huyan de esta escuela! No van aprender absolutamente nada. El mal viene desde la administracion hasta la calidad de los profesores que es pesima. No les importan los estudiantes. Te van a prometer el cielo las primeras dos semanas y despues te van a tratar peor que un perro. Pregunta la opinion de cualquier hispano que haya estudiado aqui. Ya estas advertida(o).

I tried this salon bec a friend of mine gave me a coupon to use for my first visit. Well equipped salon with high ceiling massive space for all hairstylists and clients. Very organize and lots of products to choose from and all the students and educators are very welcoming and professional. Augustina did my hair foils and she was very patient with my long hair and really paid attention to every details. Overall, excellent and well recommended to try this location and worth my long drive.

I had alexandra and she did AMAZING. I am so happy with my hair. I did a clear gloss, a treatment, and blow dry. It looked beautiful. I will be coming back 🙂

I had a positive experience here with the 60-minute Tulasara facial service done by a student named Lorena (hope I spelled it right!).

I enjoyed the pampering to high heaven and all of the products used were incredibly rejuvenating (especially the Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Treatment Lotion that had a revitalizing cooling effect). The head and neck massage, mini foot bath, and a couple of small cups of hot tea were also nice touches.

My only complaint is the appointment took longer than expected (about half an hour over) and I had to text my supervisor I was going to be late to my work shift.

Just make sure you don’t have anything time-sensitive to do after your appointment for at least 1-2 hours. They’re students and still learning and their educators have to tend to all of them, causing potential delays. During my appointment, there was only one educator on site assisting multiple students.

I also want to mention while we waited for her instructor, Lorena massaged my neck, shoulders, and arms until her teacher arrived, mentioning she didn’t want to leave me hanging. I loved that; it exhibits good customer service skills.

Overall, I enjoyed my time here despite the delay. I found out about Aveda in the mail after receiving a $20 service coupon for the 60-minute facial, which was a steal. I may be back for another on a non-work day ? Thanks.

This is the third time Gabby has done my hair. She does a great job. She takes her time to get it right and has a gentle way about her. She shows more confidence and skill each time she has done my hair. She listens to how I want my hair done, and we work on it together.

Grace did a wonderful job on my pedicure. I was impressed by how detail-oriented she was and even though this was only her third pedicure, it was as good as one that I've had in professional salons. Another note is that the teacher was always there encouraging the students and checking in on them. I highly recommend Avita!

I am almost always happy with my service at Aveda Institute. The one thing I would say is that you need to find a way to make it not take so long! I was in this week for a color retouch and cut and it took over 3 1/2 hours! (I finally had to let the student know that I needed to get going and asked her to please just quick dry my hair.) I know that, in a salon, this procedure takes 1 1/2 hours. If this were a one-time thing, I wouldn't mention it, but I have had the same experience every time I have been in.

I understand that these are students and that they will, of course, take a bit longer, but this seems excessive. There has got to be a way to cut some of the time off. One way I can see is having the customer complete the questionnaire online prior to coming in. That alone would cut 1/2 hour off of the process.

Other than the time factor, I am pleased.

Who me?

I have been to Aveda a few times, but probably won't return. My color turned out too dark, and the cut was too short and not close to the picture I provided. Sadly, it will take many months for my hair to grow out. It seems the students are not properly educated and confused about what to do. It takes a minimum of 3 hours for a simple service. The prices are high, and they push the expensive Aveda products. ?
