Great Place to Go!
by HoustonMommy at Citysearch
This was my first time going to the Aveda Institute. I have always gone to Aveda salons to get my hair cut and color done. The prices were so much cheaper than the salon prices, I thought I should try it out. Since I was new, I wanted to get just my haircut and wait on the color. I wanted to see how they did before I trusted them with my color! I was a little nervous... it is kind of intimidating having the instructors come over and check your stylist's work. Plus, my hair is really thick and I thought it was going to take forever to cut. I knew this going in though, and thought that was the tradeoff. I ended up LOVING it! My stylist gave me a wonderful haircut. It looks just like it normally does when I leave my normal high end salon. It normally takes a stylist about an hour to cut and dry my hair do to the thickness of it. I was in there an hour and a half from the time I got there to when I got back in my car. I couldn't be more impressed with the place. I love my haircut so much, that I made an appointment for highlights with the same stylist. I still can't believe that I got an Aveda haircut for only $15!!! I normally pay $65+ without tip. I highly recommend the Aveda Institute in The Woodlands!
- Pros: Great Haircuts, cheap prices, very professional staff
- Cons: Takes a little bit longer than normal, hours

Great Results, Great Prices, A Little Time Consuming (to be expected)
by AvedaInstituteFirstTimer at Citysearch
I took my two teens (boy and girl) and had their hair cut, colored, and styled. The prices are great! The students who did their hair both seemed confident but caucious. They do take their time to avoid any mistakes. (haircuts are temporarily permanent and they know this) So you are going to allow atleast an hour. Their haircuts, the color and the styling turned out pretty good. Not any different than the service and results we've received at the salons (Aveda and Visible Changes). It just takes longer to get the results because they are sooo careful. The instructors are incredibly attentive and since I was able to sit in an empty clients' chair to watch, I was able to signal the instructor if I picked up on any doubt on the student's face. You can request somenone with more hours if you want. The price is the same. They actually gave me (mom&&) a free make up application. It looked great. I was pleased, the kids were happy with their results and we had money for FOOD after! Gotta feed teens! LOL. All in all it was a positive experience. We will go again. If it will make you feel more comfortable, take someone with you who can just sit in and watch. Someone who will speak up if they need to :)
- Pros: Results, Prices, Comfort
- Cons: Time Consuming

Best Value For Your Money
by cathleenyanco at Citysearch
I was tired of paying $50+ for a haircut and decided to give this place a try. (By the way, they are now located at 19241 David Memorial Dr. near The Woodlands). It seems they have improved their service since the previous reviews, and possibly going during the weekday makes a difference. When I called to make an appointment there were plenty of openings and when I arrived I was seen on time. The salon is very nice inside and the staff is friendly. The students are in training so they take their time....My haircut and style took almost 2 hours. I received a wash cut & dry for $12. The products used were Aveda. The young lady cutting my hair did a nice job and her instructor checked her work throughout the cut. The blow-dry/style wasn't normally how I do it, but how often does the blow-dry/style turn out the way you would do it yourself anyway (good or bad)? I had a pedicure afterwards. It was a full pedicure with leg and foot massage that took place in a separate area just for pedicures, and it lasted about 1 hour ($14). Again, it was overseen by an instructor and my toes turned out nicer than when I've had them done by more experienced cosmetologists. I would recommend this place to anyone who isn't too fanatical about their hair and to anyone that has the extra time to spend on pampering themselves a bit. I'll be going back to try out some of their other services. In my opinion, the $12 haircut was an excellent value for the money compared to my normal $50 cuts, and I am now kicking myself for previously spending $30+ for pedicures when I can get the same if not better for less than 1/2 the price at this place.
- Pros: Atmosphere, products, service, value
- Cons: Not for people on a tight schedule
