Aveda Institute
The Aveda Institute, located at 200 West Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, provides upscale salon and spa services for women, men, and children, 12 and up, at budget prices- and they use one of the best product lines in the world.
Since 1978, Aveda (a-vay-duh) has maintained its mission “to care for the world we live in” with a selection of professional hair care, skin care, makeup, and lifestyle products that are good for consumers and the environment. Even better, the products are cruelty free and made from natural flower and plant essences obtained from traditional communities around the world.
The Aveda Institute Chapel Hill looks and operates like any top salon with a smartly decorated product area and check-in desk in the entry, and stylists' booths in a large adjacent area. Guests sign in at a kiosk near the salon section before being led to a waiting area where servers offer complimentary water and herbal teas. The difference here is that it is also a learning environment where students perform all services under the guidance of their floor instructors.
The Chapel Hill location offers a broad range of hair design and styling, nail care, hair removal, makeup application and tinting, and spa services for hair, face and body. Like professional salons, services are performed by students specializing in their chosen field. The Caribbean Therapy Spa Service, Chakra Balancing Experience, and Essential Back Treatment are just a few of the wide variety of services available. A popular choice of first timers not sure which of the different facials to try is the Elemental Nature Facial, listed as a 90-minute head-to-toe experience designed for total relaxation and skin rejuvenation, this is one of my all-time favorites.
Walk-ins are accepted, but subject to student availability - and the salon is always busy, so make an appointment if you can to be sure you're on the schedule. The Aveda Institute is wheelchair accessible. For more info or to schedule an appointment, call 919.960-GROW (4769).
